6 days 15 hours ago	The best part is that I told	The best part is that I told my wife "Don't blame me for Ally learning the phrase Dammit Michigan, blame Rich Rod.
6 days 20 hours ago	Dammit Michigan	My daughter is 4 and was at day care this winter playing with some building blocks.  She knocked the blocks over accidentally and uttered the phrase Dammit followed by the word Michigan.  She believes the curse word is "Dammit Michigan" because the only time anyone says dammit in our house is when they are watching the Wolverines play and something bad happens.  The daycare providers said they had to turn away so my daughter wouldn't see them laughing.  Apparently she said it several times that day.  My wife was less impressed but has grown to enjoy the story. That is may daddy-daughter Michigan story.

4 weeks 1 day ago	This thread just makes me	This thread just makes me miss NFL2K that much more.  The last version of the NFL2K series was close to NFL football perfection.  To their credit though, EA has always had the best college game.
4 weeks 5 days ago	I really enjoyed the finale.	I really enjoyed the finale.  I haven't watched the show for a couple years, but for a while it was one of the best on TV.  I thought the finale was very sentimental and I still love the characters after all the years.
10 weeks 1 day ago	I was proud last night, and I	I was proud last night, and I still feel proud this morning.  The refs sucked both ways, but I still really enjoyed watching the game.  I'm hoping we have 4 of the 5 starters back for next season, but either way I enjoyed the ride.
10 weeks 3 days ago	I drank all the breakfast	I drank all the breakfast stout at my house and I'm still awake.  I love everything right now.
10 weeks 3 days ago	I'm so drunk and so happy.	I'm so drunk and so happy.  My wife was giving me high fives.  This was the best day in a long long time.
10 weeks 3 days ago	Breakfast Stout.....but I	Breakfast Stout.....but I have a couple Bell's Pale ready because the Breakfast Stout has the potential to knock me out.
10 weeks 4 days ago	That is absolutely my most	That is absolutely my most painful sporting moment of all time.  I was a sophmore in High School and I adored the Fab Five.  I still have the baggy Michigan shorts and maize authentic Webber jersey.  I remember disecting a fish in biology class the next day and being devastated.  I hate Donald Williams to this day. My second most painful was the next year when Colorado beat us on the Hail Mary.  I remember wondering if Michigan was cursed at that point. Edit:  Actually in hindsight, I think Colorado was 2 years later because I was Senior.  Either way, it was awful.
11 weeks 1 day ago	This article made me google	This article made me google the Gaboon Viper.  Wikipedia has information on everything.  Seriously, I'm glad we have a week to come up with a good game plan for Syracuse.  I'm confident Coach B will have the team ready.
11 weeks 2 days ago	I had Florida over Michigan	I had Florida over Michigan in my bracket.  I've never been so happy to be so very very wrong about something in my life.  That was an ass kicking.  Go Blue.
11 weeks 2 days ago	All I can say is Wow!  What a	All I can say is Wow!  What a half of basketball.
12 weeks 3 days ago	I had Wichita State beating	I had Wichita State beating Gonzaga in my bracket.  Unfortunately, I also had Wisconsin and Georgetown in the Elite 8.
12 weeks 3 days ago	This game has caused me no	This game has caused me no stress.  It has only brought happiness.  This is the best we have looked since early in the season.
12 weeks 5 days ago	If St. Mary's doesn't make a	If St. Mary's doesn't make a comeback I will miss out on a perfect bracket.  I love March Madness.  I haven't accomplished a single thing since lunch.
12 weeks 6 days ago	I have the exact same elite	I have the exact same elite 8, final four and championship game as the President.  I don't know it that is a good thing or a bad thing.  I have Louisville beating IU in the title game.  I also have 15 out of 16 of the teams he has in the sweet 16. I love March Madness.  Now if only Spring would arrive.
13 weeks 23 hours ago	The East is brutal compared	The East is brutal compared to the West.  That being said, we were going to be playing OSU and MSU every year anyway.  I personally don't think Penn State is going to be as down as long as everyone thinks.  They held on to some nice pieces of a recruiting class that can get them through the NCAA santions.  There coach is doing a pretty nice job over there.
13 weeks 1 day ago	I also have them losing in	I also have them losing in the Elite 8 to Florida.  Some point during the season I convinced myself Florida was a great team despite not finding much statistical data to back it up.  I'm worried about VCU but also think VCU could lose to Akron.
13 weeks 4 days ago	I just finished watching	I just finished watching first half and haven't read this thread, but Wisconsin fouls every single trip up and down the floor.  I'm sure it has been repeated by everyone else, but this is brutal basketball to watch.  That being said, I love the effort so far.  The switches on defense have been very good.  Hopefully, we get it going in 2nd half.
13 weeks 5 days ago	It is amazing what great	It is amazing what great athletes these guys are.  They get labeled as not so good athletes when compared to other guys but in reality all these guys are freaks compared to regular people.  Kovacs numbers are astounding for someone who is tagged a limited athletically. I wish I could jump 3 feet straight up in the air.  Division 1 athletes are ridiculous.
14 weeks 23 hours ago	He is certainly better that	He is certainly better that Ryan Swope.  I had to google Swope to even figure out who he was and I'm a pretty big football fan.
14 weeks 1 day ago	I'm over it.  I'm looking	I'm over it.  I'm looking forward to the fact that there is still a lot of basketball left.  I can't wait until we curb stomp Penn State and then Wisconsin.  We get a chance to avenge almost all the pain from the regular season in the next week.  I thought the teams effort was good and look forward to seeing them get hot.  The Big 10 was brutal.  Everyone had a rough stretch at one point or another.  We will be dangerous in the NCAA tournament.
14 weeks 2 days ago	Yep that was choke job.  We	Yep that was choke job.  We got crushed on the boards and if we make free throws we still would have won.  We played with a lot of intensity today which I thought was missing the previous 10 games or so.  I'm pissed and I wish I could solve the rebounding problem but I still feel good about the effort. It is going to be a while before I can forget about the last minute of that game though.
15 weeks 2 days ago	I would be sleeping on the	I would be sleeping on the couch.  Since we won, I now have a couple hours to undo the damage I did.  If we would have lost I would still be doing damage.  I'm confident I will be sleeping in the bed tonight.
15 weeks 2 days ago	I missed the entire game	I missed the entire game except the last 3:53 because it is my wife's birthday and I took her out.  Needless to say I destroyed any goodwill I had going in the last 4 minutes of the game as a result of my behavior and commentary.   Thank God for Trey Burke.  I can tell it is going to be a little icy around my house for the next couple hours.  At least we won the game.

16 weeks 1 day ago	The ceiling is extremely	The ceiling is extremely high.  He has the size, the arm and is an amazing athlete.  That is a really good starting point for a QB.  He has one year as a starter and a full off season to get ready.  There is no reason to believe he couldn't be a very high draft pick some day going strictly on tangibles.  That being said, playing QB and being a combine warrior are two different things.  I'm hoping he gets 2 more years because I think we are going to rip people up next year and the year after.  I think we may need a little help at WR but the O-line recruiting is getting me really excited for Michigan football.

17 weeks 5 days ago	Seriously, I can remember in	Seriously, I can remember in 5th grade there were a lot of girls that could kick my ass.  I was scared of more than one of them.  In High School, I remember watching so many girls beat boys during wrestling it wasn't even a big deal especially at the lower weights.  I really don't understand why she can't play unless there is some safety issue.
