1 day 7 hours ago | Same here |
But I did learn that Otto Graham is severely underrated |
1 day 7 hours ago | Thay |
Tell me more about this "thay" person. You happened to be correct about the bounty stuff, but got sidetracked by the Favre/Otto Graham stuff. This is one of the strangest MGoArguments I've read, and that's saying something. |
1 day 14 hours ago | Throwing |
To be honest, I'd rather he throw with his legs then his arm. |
2 days 12 hours ago | The odds |
The odds, in general, favor it being a daughter as more women than men are going to college. I don't know how that breaks down for business school. Now, if they were going to get an electrical engineer degree, then sure, they are a male child. |
2 days 14 hours ago | Yes |
But (there's always a but) the one year I spent the summer in Ann Arbor the number of available classes was really limited. I suppose that doesn't matter as much to a general studies major. Trying to find something that met my course requirements was tough. I would also guess they want the athletes on campus during spring/summer so there are more Kinesiology classes offered, or other majors that have a larger proportion of athletes. |

So many folks passing away recently. |
4 days 6 hours ago | Praise in public |
Constructively criticize in private. |
4 days 6 hours ago | Fellow St. Mary's alum |
I don't recall them having Sunday dinners ( c. '88-''96) but we had a pretty mean softball team. I coached one season and had to tell Brian Griese we didn't have room for him (at least he claimed to be Griese over the phone.) This was before he won the National Championship. |
4 days 8 hours ago | Recruiting events |
Recruiting events were always good for free pizza. That's how I learned about Schlumberger. |
4 days 9 hours ago | Sunday nights |
The Church I went to had a BOGO free coupon for Big Macs in the bulletin. I had to get 2 bulletins so my roommate and I could go to McDonalds for Big Macs. 30 years ago a Big Mac cost about $1.50. 2 for that price was a pretty good deal, even back then. |
4 days 9 hours ago | Civ |
Civilization is like Seinfeld for me. I go completely overboard, burn myself out, avoid it for a couple years until it's fresh again and start all over again. |
4 days 13 hours ago | Title IX |
I would prevent MSU from bidding on any federally funded R&D program for a minimum of 3 years and require them to prove that they have instituted policies (and follow them) to prevent this situation from ever happening again before allowing them to be eligible again. I would also require they use their BTN revenues to pay the victims for as long as it takes. If they disagree, I would vote them out of the conference. I want WW I sanctions against Germany leveled against them. This is so much larger than sports. The penalties must strike at the very heart of the university so that the administration can no longer deny the reality of the toxic culture that has festered in East Lansing for decades. |
4 days 19 hours ago | Spirit |
I used to fly 2-3 times per year. I don't consider myself an inexperienced traveler. However, I will admit it has been many years since I flew on Spirit. If they have improved, that is welcomed news. I think I'll let the word of mouth improve before trying them again. |
5 days 6 hours ago | Prices |
My experience is that prices rise when you book with less than 2 weeks to your departure date. The airlines figure you don't have time to comparison shop so they jack up the price. Many routes are dominated by a single carrier anyway. Once the competition is sold out, the dominant carrier can raise the fare. |
5 days 6 hours ago | Allegiant is the worst |
At least according to 60 Minutes. They had a story about them this weekend. 3 and a half times more safety incidents than average. Discount carrier that saves money by flying really old planes and pressuring their pilots not to report mechanical issues. I can't believe anything could be worse than Spirit, but apparently they are. |
5 days 14 hours ago | DiVincenzo |
I was going to correct your spelling of his name until I realized I didn't know how to spell it. Carry on. |
5 days 15 hours ago | I like how Kansas is Kansas |
And to a lesser extent, Chicago is the group for Illinois |

Thanks Ace. |
6 days 12 hours ago | A tattoo of Ace |
Tattooed with the "Cue the Muppets" image |
6 days 13 hours ago | Sharing Youtubes |
This is one of the few things I know how to do. Below the video, click on the word, "SHARE." A window opens with a choice for "EMBED." Select that. Copy that text. Switch to plain text editor here and paste the text. Switch back to rich text editor and you should see a blank frame with "IFRAME" written in red. Don't worry, it'll appear correctly when you hit SAVE. Voila, you get "Gimme Chocolate" by BABYMETAL. See, it's so easy even I can do it. |

1 week 1 day ago | Spurs |
It was a little weird for me watching GSW play the Spurs in the first round. That seems like a 2nd or 3rd round series. |
1 week 1 day ago | Ignas |
If that's true, by the end of his career here we'll be calling him Saint Ignas. |
1 week 1 day ago | "Riot season" |
That's more of a Northern California season. We haven't had a good riot down here in a couple decades. Unless you consider wandering onto freeways to stop traffic a riot. I place that under traffic season. |
1 week 1 day ago | "Sitting on my porch in Ann Arbor" |
Coincidentally, that is the title of the lesser known follow-up to "The dock of the bay." |
1 week 1 day ago | Swamp People |
I spent the morning watching Swamp People on the History Channel. A colleague was just giving away his Swamp People Troy Bobblehead for free so I grabbed it for my collection. I felt obligated to watch a couple episodes. It's very strange how they edit the show. I don't understand why they can't show the Swamp People blowing the heads off of gators with shotguns. They show a clearly staged shot and a clearly dead gator, but they never show the actual scene. |

Kilroy was here |
1 week 2 days ago | Traffic season |
It took me an hour to drive 15 miles down to Long Beach this afternoon. If I had to do that every day I would figure out how to move back to Michigan. |
1 week 2 days ago | My favorite winter storm |
Was that one time it got down to 58 degrees. That was CRAZY! I had to wear a jacket and a long-sleeve shirt. |
