1 week 4 days ago	Fake News	I don't think a single "fact" is accurate in those posts, from academic standing to revenue growth to likability of Durkin (does anyone outside of Michigan, Maryland and Florida even know who he is?), each "fact" is a questionable interpretation of some data. I wonder which fan base is the most delusional, MSU, PSU or Maryland?
2 weeks 2 days ago	Does any other fan base	parse and critique offer letters or is it just us? I know (tongue-in-cheek) we can say that some fan bases don't have the capacity to recognize poor grammar (I'm looking at you OSU and MSU), but does NW or Stanford turn their critical eye to offer letters? Again, I can honestly say, I can't wait for the season to start.
2 weeks 2 days ago	Is OT season over?	Can't wait for the season to start.
2 weeks 3 days ago	Enjoyed the ending of the series	but it was a long slog to get there. Not sure how the Suzanna/Detta-Roland relationship would work given the race issues in the book that I assume won't be there in the movie.
3 weeks 1 day ago	No stars?	Don't want.
3 weeks 3 days ago	So, according to the author	We might go 11-1 this year and that might spell doom for Coach Harbaugh...but we also are title contenders in 2018...so... why would we fire the coach of a title contending team? Super clear and logicial thinking there.
4 weeks 2 days ago	Got it	In Connecticut...love it
4 weeks 3 days ago	Not exactly right...	That is the amount specified in the release clause (the amount of money Neymar would have to pay to get out of his contract with Barca....albeit PSG's money being used...there is a potential tax consequence for Neymar). PSG offering to meet that amount (i.e., fund Neymar's buyout) does not mean that he is PSG's. There is still the negotiation of how that amount would be paid (Barca likely will insist on a lump sum, whereas PSG would likely want to pay as you go over time equal to the length of Neymar's contract with PSG...5 years or so) and whether any make-weight player swaps could reduce the amount owed, as well as how PSG could afford this expenditure under Financial Fair Play rules. While almost any club in the world would want Neymar...it is more likely a direct response to Barca's flirtation with PSG's best player earlier this month (Verratti) who indicated he wanted a move to Barca from PSG. PSG has been known to take vindictive actions like this in the past. So, while everyone who can afford Neymar would want him, this is more likely a threat by PSG to Barca to leave Verratti alone.
4 weeks 3 days ago	Is this worse than Spike leaving for Purdue?	Our bench mob will suffer without Andrew for sure. As penance, he should have to receive an OSU degree instead of one from UM.
4 weeks 4 days ago	WOW	I hadn't remembered that show at all, but now that you mentioned it, it all flashed back.
5 weeks 1 day ago	It's Chris Christie's job if he wants it	No chance it goes to this guy. He was HORRIBLE.
7 weeks 3 days ago	Too many names without hypens	I don't want them anymore
7 weeks 3 days ago	Welcome back	and now get those Super Guides finished already!
7 weeks 4 days ago	Best/Worst	1. Either scoring 4 goals in a soccer match (not bad for a CB) or blocking Rumeal Robinson's shot 3 times in a row ("don't bring that weak sauce to me"). 2. scoring an "own goal" in the same soccer game (no, I didn't count it in the 4 I scored).
9 weeks 1 day ago	I wonder what the record is for most athletes drafted	from a University across all sports. Given our performance in FB and Baseball, and the upcoming draft in BB and hockey, UM is having a great year.
9 weeks 1 day ago	Bruce	About 15 years ago, I was on vacation and Bruce Springsteen and family were staying at the resort. After meeting in the pool, I had lunch and drinks with Bruce and Patti for the rest of the week. Stayed in touch with them at various equistrian events over the years when our daughters competed. Great guy (and a personal hero). Also have had a "friendship" with Richard Gere for the past year or so...we met at a local watering hole the day after Muhammed Ali died and were talking about the impact sport had had on society and who was the first real superstar that trancended their sport...I said Ali, Gere was sure it was Arnie Palmer...I conceded as it was way before my time and he is an old fart.
9 weeks 3 days ago	/s?	His last name is French for "little brother"
9 weeks 3 days ago	Why have you been holding this back?	this is gold!
12 weeks 4 days ago	When Rolle Committed to FSU	I lumped him in with all of those recruits who say that they are prioritizing academics when listing their ideal fit for college...and then pick a football factory (I'm looking at you De'Shawn Hand). Dr. Rolle seems to be the exception. Damn if he didn't get it all done, as he said he would. However, I wonder if he could have accomplished what he wanted had he attended UM. I had a pre-med roommate freshman year (insanely bright, and insane) who proved that you could (and probably needed to) study 24 hours a day. I don't know how anyone could have added 40 hours of FB practice/meetings every week for the first semester and still stay on track for pre-med at UM. Kudos to Dr. Rolle.
13 weeks 2 days ago	By day	I'm an unassuming general counsel for a hedge fund...by night, I'm Batman.
13 weeks 2 days ago	It's not even an excuse, just shade	being thrown by a Buckeye at UM, nothing more. In the era of fake news, this is an example of it in the sports world. There was no deadline rapidly approaching for young Mr. Gant, this isn't a case of an offer going out to a senior in the weeks before signing day and therefore there just isn't enough time for the UM staff to overcome longer standing relationships. If Dallas Gant wasn't sure that OSU was the right place or that UM could be that place, he would have just waited in making up his mind. There are at least 7 months until the next signing day (I assume the early signing period kicks in this December), so I infer from the timing that he knew where he wanted to go, committed there and now is throwing shade at his biggest rival. There is nothing to see here, this is not an indictment of Harbaugh's staff or their recruiting. I don't know the numbers, but I assume more than 90% of the offers sent out by UM do not end in a commitment.
13 weeks 4 days ago	seems like we have a winner	sources and everything...nice job.
17 weeks 3 days ago	Perhaps Global Warming will be the answer	At this rate, it's likely to be in the mid-60s in November by the time that game rolls around.
19 weeks 3 hours ago	Not only will it be a tremendous wall	We're going to get Georgia to pay for it too.
20 weeks 2 days ago	Minor correction for the article	Big Ben refers to the bell in the tower, not the clock at Westminster. That said, David's argument still holds though, a big bell might be more effective at LT than some of the options we have ;)
22 weeks 4 days ago	Seed Predictions?	#6 West
22 weeks 4 days ago	Wow!!!	Can't wait to see the reveal of the seeds...6?
23 weeks 3 days ago	Just to make sure I didn't miss something	You made a post about the tee shirts you like? Awesome content. Thanks for your contribution. I'll be on the look out for more informative posts from you like this one. Perhaps you'll expand your contributions to favorite lightbulb brands or even (I can hope) your favorite socks.
23 weeks 3 days ago	TL;DR	TL;DR
25 weeks 2 days ago	Helped Host Rob on his Official Visit	Took him to Good Time Charlies and then Ricks. He was not interested in the usual things recruits wanted to see (i.e., girls), only wanted to talk about majors and JD/MBA programs, etc. Most focused recruit I met. TOTAL difference in the approach of other recruits like Eric Montross, who were only interested in the basketball and the women. Not even slightly surprised by his success.
