If you are a scotch newbie and don't like the "heat" (burning of your throat) that can often come from whiskey, I would try Oban 14 year. It's not super cheap but it is extremely smooth. My personal favorite of everyday scotch is Talisker 10 which has a great combination of sweet and smoky without a lot of heat.
Yes, a proud lurker. I couldn't resist posting because I am amazed at the collective optimism of the MGoCommunity. I sincerely hope everybody is right.
Lack of playing experience trumps Brown and stars and the defense (particularly front seven) is hugely disappointing. Brian and Ace arguing about top 5 vs. top 10 D appears incredibly optimistic as defense rates 30th or so. Offense, in contrast, is relatively underrated and leads team to 9-3 with losses to PSU and OSU.
Three men had a very late night drinking Molsen Canadians. They left in the early morning hours and went home separately. They met the next day for an early pint, and compared notes about who was drunker.
The first guy claims that he was the drunkest, saying, "I drove straight home, walked into the house, and as soon as I got through the door, I blew chunks."
"You think that was drunk?" said the second guy. "I got in my car, drove out of the parking lot, and wrapped my car around the first tree I saw. I don't even have insurance!"
And the third proclaimed, "I was by far the most drunk. I got home, got in a big fight with my wife, knocked a candle over and burned the whole house down!" There was silence for a moment and then the first guy exclaimed, "Listen, guys, I don't think you understand... Chunks is my dog."
I was pretty surprised he went with Findley over Ching. I thought Ching looked pretty good last night, he made some nice "Ching-like" plays holding up and distributing. Bradley must be looking for a different style of play from his forwards.
The thing that scared me the most was left back. You would think with all of the attention placed on this position that somebody would step up but it looked like they are regressing. Bornstein made some horrible touches back there and Pearce was just as bad, if not worse. I am hoping that means they are confident in Gooch, Demerit, and Goodson behind those two, so they can move Bocanegra out to left back. Cherundlo (sp) looked solid though.
Here's one that works pretty well.

When I first heard that ESPN acquired rights to the EPL, I was excited. Now that I've seen that they lost the Champions League in the process, I'm not so thrilled. I have seen that Fox Sports North is showing repeats of Champions League games at weird times. Probably the same thing for Fox Sports Detroit. You would have to set the DVR and wouldn't get to see it live, though.
We were underdogs against BU in the semifinals. I'm pretty sure they were consensus #1 and had been for most of the season, but we spanked them 4-0. In the finals, I think it was pretty close, we might have been slight favorites.
The West draw looks a lot better for Michigan and for me (as I live in the Twin Cities).
I am encouraged by the final Bracketology prediction at USCHO, they are usually very close to the actual draw. It will depend on how they break the tie of the 11th ranked teams. I hope that they shade towards attendance as that would take Michigan out of Worchester.
St. Cloud State playing here in the Twin Cities will obviously pull some fans (St. Cloud a little more than a hour away) but doesn't have the fanbase of the gophers, the Sioux, UM-Duluth, and probably the Badgers. It is definitely possible that the other fans won't root for SCSU, but against them.
