Michigan states 2025... They are more likely to go 0-fer than be bowl eligible

My secret is beef short ribs are 1000x better than brisket when prepared the same way.

Don't @ me.

My fwd Ford Focus with Michelin Ice-X tires does better than my Subaru with Bridgestone Blizzak's.

I like AWD, but I think tires are more important.

 

That said, I like Subaru's purely mechanical AwD system.

Berhalter is a pretty lousy coach from an in game perspective. The USMNT should be seeing the bar much much higher than Gregggg

Do these 4 players span the last 4 coaches we've had as well?

 

Henne- Lloyd... Graham- RichRod... Clark- Hoke... Danna- harbs

Interesting.

 

One of the recent podcasts or roundtables emphasized how football teams defensive identities mirror their offensive identities and I can't think of an exception to this rule.

 

Makes me very skeptical of Purdue and Wisconsin moving forward. Nebraska and Iowa may be the corn kings for the next few years before California joins.

I'd suggest a proportion t test for statistical significance (10 games vs 9 games) but that would just go over your head.

If you want a more bourbon-forward cocktail, drink an old fashioned: 2 parts bourbon, 1/4 brown sugar syrup, dash of bitters

I have a full room bar with 50+ bottles of whiskey, a full bar of liqueurs and mixers, just about every drink vessel, and a neon sign.

 

I love cocktails but it's hard to beat a classic 2-1-2 Manhattan. 2 parts bourbon, 1 part good vermouth (Carpano), 2 dashes good bitters.

Why does it feel like Maryland could be the toughest game outside of Ohio State?

Why is it that salary caps aren't considered collusion? genuinely curious

Seattle had a rabidly enthusiastic soccer culture, public transit, and a very good venue.

So weird.

 

Wish him well. Hope he finds... A team that promises him 110% of the available playing time?

Yikes. Sure looks like we need to shoot the moon to have a highly regarded class.

Don't get me wrong, england is good. But they aren't a juggernaut.

Do they? When we faced them in 2010 they had Gerard, Lampard, John Terry, and prime Wayne Rooney.

They are a good team with lots of talent. But we have WAY more talent than we did 12 years ago.

Just moved back home to the Midwest after spending 3 years in Seattle, jumpstarted my career. Literally tripled my salary in 3 years and am 2 levels up from when I left.

 

Thankfully COVID and the trust of leadership allowed my family to move back home.

 

You could do a LOT worse than Seattle. It's fucking beautiful, so much to do outdoors, and tons of opportunities. Depending where you are it can be a bit of a grind, it's a bit "high risk high reward." 

 

 

 

That's why you use index in…

That's why you use index in conjunction with match. Index reads the position and provides the result.

 

Index match is far more robust to moving data around(or add columns) and responding with correct results.

=index(match(...)) Far…

=index(match(...)) Far superior to vlookup.

They didn't lack urgency…

They didn't lack urgency. They lacked a plan.

 

That's on 1 person.

No.

 

Zardes was a…

No.

 

Zardes was a disaster of a tactical decision. He was the difference in the first 60 minutes. He was a bad target man, was constantly bodied out of position and couldn't give Pulisic and Aaronson the feed they needed. He was completely absent on set pieces as well.

 

Once Pepi came in you saw more outisde-inside-outside play but by that time the team was playing without patience.

 

Look at the body of evidence. Everywhere Berhalter coaches the teams struggle to score despite having talent. He is an abysmal tactician.

Berhalter does not deserve…

Berhalter does not deserve to coach in the world cup.

 

Fuck this team.

Another game coached by gergg, another game we struggle to create dangerous chances.

 

It's never going to change.under berhalter. Need a change at the top.

"fine" is exactly the word I'd use to describe his play today.

1 mistake by Miles Robinson and an absolute disaster class by Zardes.

 

Pulisic has been tepid.

 

Frustrating.

If Michigan had MSU/OSU, OSU…

If Michigan had MSU/OSU, OSU had Mich/PSU, PSU had Wisco/OSU, and Wisconsin had PSU/MSU then this would be probably okay.

 

More likely, MSU will get us and fucking Indiana, and Wisconsin will get Iowa/Minnesota.

 

These changes will ensure Wisco and MSU have a systematic advantage because no one wants to be their rivals.

Black Friday is named as…

Black Friday is named as such because historically it happened to coincide with the time most brick and mortar retailers became profitable for the year, which is to say "in the black."

I'd hardly put director of scouting on the same plane as on field coaches.

Why not play? Surely setting a bowl record for passing yards in a game would help his draft stock.

For the last 10+ years Barcelona discussion boards would have a MOTMOTM (man of the match other than Messi) because otherwise there would never be any discussion.

 

And now I'm crying.

Okay but where was Henning?…

Okay but where was Henning? Why do we continue to NOT use the electric players we have available to us? 

 

Truth is always somewhere between the extremes. But it's been 5+ years of wasting athletic ability on offense.

Corum is a 2nd year freshman…

Corum is a 2nd year freshman and Haskins is a senior with 2 years of eligibility left.

 

Do you think Haskins goes pro after this year? If so, do we have lightening and lightening next year with Dunlap as the occasional thunder?

Not really. Brooks is slow…

Not really. Brooks is slow and was being asked to play a high line.

I assume youre referring to his decision to not try and intercept the cross. That's very common because he could have easily deflected it into the net if he had tried.

 

That goal was 100@% on the coaching tactics.

The d did not "fall asleep."…

The d did not "fall asleep." The d was doing exactly what Berhalter wanted: they were playing a high line and going 1 on 1 vs the best player in cocacaf(Davies). The Canada goal was always coming with Berhalter garbage tactics and failure to adapt.

 

We're lucky Davies went out with an injury or we probably get 0 points.

Berhalter is trash. Stubborn…

Berhalter is trash. Stubborn, fails to adjust tactics to the game, and shit leadership.

 

Need him gone asap.

Corum is Mike Hart, but fast!

Didn't what's-his-name hand out hundred dollar bills to players after a bowl game? The Chicago receiver who posted Twitter photos of him getting a ton of money on a recruiting trip there?

Imagine that... People have…

Imagine that... People have different standards for middle class football parents compared to the leader of the free world.

 

I also am okay hearing bender stories from my college buddies, but not so cool hearing them from a supreme court justice. But that's another show.

Seattle has done a good job creating a lot of housing, but it's still expensive AF.

 

Just in time for growth to stop once the tech giants all embrace remote work ?

I moved away from family to pursue an awesome job in my favorite city. (Edit- it's Seattle)

 

Now I just want to go home :) but I'm sure that's mostly because I can't enjoy the awesome city I live in and have to figure out a way to take care of two kids and teach 1 kid with zero support structure.
