Thanks for the clarification…

Thanks for the clarification. I kept going back and forth on how to read your statement at the top as well, but this makes sense now.

Or you could argue that in…

Or you could argue that in fact the irresponsible actors here are the funds like like Melvin Capital that took out these massive short positions.

Ding ding ding!

This explains what's happening very well.

Cool.

Cool.

If anyone has advice on how…

If anyone has advice on how to have money conversations with someone with mild autism, I'd love to hear it. 

I'd say it depends how much they are on the spectrum and how much access (how close) you are with the person. Two ideas though -

  1. Take the outline from here and turn it into something basic. Maybe that is slimming down the chart to a bare minimum or just creating a checklist of the 6 Steps.
  2. Setup an automated budget process. My wife loves Mint and that might be an easy way to help show where their money is going and what bills need to be paid.

 

The idea that "credit card…

The idea that "credit card minimum payments are not actually what you owe" hasn't quite clicked.

This was a hard one to break with my wife (back then gf). Always found that doing the math for a year of interest amount alone helped. It's basically just lighting that amount on fire (assuming the person has the $).

Just some recommendations…

Just some recommendations based on my (limited) start to the hobby:

Cheap(ish):

  • Old Grand Dad Bottled in Bond
  • Buffalo Trace
  • Henry McKenna 10yr

Higher:

  • Old Forester 1920
  • Elijah Craig Barrel Proof
  • Stagg Jr

Rye:

  • Old Forester Rye *
  • High West Double Rye ***

* IMO, best value to quality

So is this a thing, officially? I remember when Herbert was announced that many Arkansas fans were saying they had an issues with feet specifically. Even found the old /r/cfb thread where people were talking about it -

"prepare to have your top RB/WR's hurt in practice before the season starts for years to come... mostly from broken feet".

Wonderlic, Inc. claims a minimum score of 10 points suggests a person is literate.

 

Edit: I'm not joking.

Even as a diehard Michigan fan I had not seen the video embedded in this ESPN article. It's worth a watch and addresses the domestic violence incident.

Delay of game. A damn delay…

Delay of game. A damn delay of game when down in the 4th Q after receiving a kickoff when trying to get back in the game! Fire everyone on the offensive side of the ball not named Warinner. Seriously. Little Harbaugh better be gone too.

I'd be more worried if RB…

I'd be more worried if RB wasn't the one position where a highly touted guy could come in and crush it. Get a top RB next year and we're fine IMO. Plus the lack of depth might be a selling point.

Huge get! Outside WR was a very large need in this class.

Wait... what?! I didn't know that both sitting was a possibility.

How is Peoples-Jones not a Dangerman at this point? Dude is a TD waiting to happen every time he touches the ball.

I'm currently living alone…

I'm currently living alone in a townhouse that costs $900/month after my housemates moved out on short notice when I was physically unable to move myself.

Just a question - would finding additional housemates be an option? That would definitely help financially and maybe even be good for moral / help around the house. I'm sure there are people on mgoblog looking for a place to live that would know better what your situation is than strangers. Just a thought.

Get well Ace. Appreciate all your work over the years.

Any details on what Solomon…

Any details on what Solomon has going on? I remember that he had a relatively "routine" surgery earlier this year, but curious as to what is lingering so long.

These are the only two I…

These are the only two I want to see on the field and only after we've comfortably sealed the game in the 3rd quarter.

Boy, sure would be nice if HTTV had arrived by now... then I could look it up too and not get downvoted for asking these types of questions.

I thought Hayes was leaving the program?

Right now - it's hard to say…

Right now - it's hard to say. Comcast has a deal going (in the SouthEast at least) of 150 Mbps, 140+ channels, plus HBO®, SHOWTIME®, and CINEMAX® included for 12 months for $69.99/month. You'd have to add the sports package which is +$10 (but I've always been able to argue for +$5). That's pretty hard to beat.

I'm holding out on what happens with BTN, but the other option would be just Comcast internet of 150 Mbps for $44.99/mo (or 250 Mbps for $59.99/mo) + YoutubeTV for $40/mo.

Some general questions (from someone that has just been blindly following orders):

  1. How does michigancfbrisk.com determine orders?
  2. Can we see what "rolls" occur each night? (the equivalent of dice rolling in Risk)
  3. Is there a more thorough explanation to how the game works?

How do we know what happens each day other then the progression gif? Like are the attacks/defenses explained somewhere? Serious question - sorry if it's obvious.

Bought last year's model of theTLC55R617 about a year ago and couldn't be happier. It has built in Roku TV (which is a platform for streaming apps). Netflix, HBOGO, Youtube, Amazon Video... all built in and easy to use.

The TV was name wirecutter's best TV: https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-tv/

Just make sure to update the TV settings to get the best picture: https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/tcl/6-series-2018-r617

Every TV needs to have it settings calibrated to look best.

 

Come on man...

Why make a fake account and pretend to be soemone else? Just use your mgofish account.

Don't be the next Colangelo and get crucified for doing something so stupid.

Respectfully Disagree

Ty and Aaron are absolutely fantastic, but there is a reason professional teams from all over the world have come to learn from Clemson's media department. It's also amazing that the majority of work that's done at Clemson is by students.

Just a bit of info: https://www.sbnation.com/a/cfb-preview-2017/clemson-social-media

Wow...

I wish I was half as passionate about anything in life as WD is about his Michigan Guide.

Thanks

Just wanted to thank you, Space Coyote - this is the type of analysis I come to MGOBLOG to read about. I would love to see a whole set of off season articles comparing various aspects of the Offense against other teams.

coaching the OL will really

coaching the OL will really be Ed Warriner's sole job

I could be wrong, but it's my understanding that Ed's role this year specifically can NOT be coaching the players in any capacity. He can't actually interact with the players.

100% Agree

At this point - we are selling Hope to OL. Kids want to play for a coach/team that has the best chance to put them in the NFL. I don't blame this kid at all.

Look at what we did to Mason Cole - moved him around his whole career because of necessity and likely hurt his peak draft stock. I honestly think untill we get a new OL coach and our team starts consistently putting OL in the NFL we will have trouble recruiting the types of kids we want.

Damn

And all those defensive recruits that Michigan wanted and came in 2nd for... too bad the early signing period already happed, because I bet a few would have switched to Don Brown know that this happened.

Yes Please

Always pissed me off seeing MSU license plates around Atlanta. Let's make this happen people!

2018... ?!

Seriously, what is the deal with 2018 recruiting? Right now we are expected to lose 2 of our top 3 recruits and it doesn't appear that we are in great position with that many overall top 150 players.

I expected a LOT more out of Harbugh recruiting year 3.

Also known as...

the "MEAT PACKAGE"!

Alim McNeill

Dude's a freak. Please, please, please let us get him. I've never seen a guy that big squareup and chase down WR's like that. Absolutely amazing.

Bought a blender.

Was planning to use it to make healthy smoothies each day... so far it's been used for a healthy amount of pina coladas and margaritas.

So I've got that going for me.

Albert Herrnstein, 5-11/168

Hahaha, can you just a imagine a 5-11/168 lb OL lining up accross from Hurst and Gary. Imagine the pure fear in that OL player.

Good

Glad to see Hoke back to what he does best - find exceptional talent at DL and coach them up. Wish we could get Hoke back when GM retires. I think this was a great move by Tennessee.

No!

The thought of our CB's trying to tackle Fournette scares the shit out me.

Much more than ACL

'He was admitted the day of injury'

This alone means that it was much more serious than an ACL. Hell, the standard isn't even to operate on a torn ACL for a few weeks after injury.

How big are they?

Serious question (and sorry if I missed you already posting this) but how large are these 'mini helmets'? Can you put them in a picture with something else as a frame of reference? Look great though.
