Football: In terms of most successful team in my lifetime (other than '97 when I was five), definitely last season. I think 2016 was a more exciting team to watch, but some major disappointment with how that season ended. 3rd place would be '06. 

 

Basketball: 2013 all day, but 2021 was a lot of fun, too.

In the South Endzone. Still…
  • In the South Endzone. Still can't believe I got to witness that game in person. 
  • Putt Putt's bar in Grand Rapids. I was with mostly MSU fans but the small bar exploded after that shot.
  • Somewhat embarrassed by this one as me and my dad left the game early as we had lost hope for a comeback and I was getting cold (I was a teenager at the time). Ended up stopping for dinner on the way home and seeing the rest of the game in a restaurant in Lansing surrounded by MSU fans. That was a pretty great way to watch it, though. 
  • Again, I was fortunate enough to be in attendance for this one and pretty close to the corner of the endzone he scored in. Electric atmosphere for this game. 
  • I was pretty young, but I was able to go to this one, too. I don't recall if this was the PSU game that my 2nd cousin and PSU student came to the game and met up with us. 
  • Gardella's in Grand Rapids. People lost their minds for this one.
  • Probably at home for Jabrill.
  • Don't recall exactly where I was, but I think I might've been working. 
I’ll admit I was very…

I’ll admit I was very skeptical that this team could make it past the first weekend, but here we are. The matchup has pros and cons for us. It will be tough for Villanova to guard Dickinson, but also tough for him to guard anybody on the three point line on the other end. I see the game unfolding as us trading twos for threes and I think Villanova pulls away. Regardless of what happens, I’m proud of the way the team has responded. They certainly won’t quit tomorrow. I’m hoping we can bother the Villanova shooters enough to pull it out. 

Did this fit the MSU game…

Did this fit the MSU game and it definitely feels better to be up $100 after a loss.

Or it’s like a confetti shower after a win.

I honestly had a dream about storming the field. Always wanted to do it. I think it’s very unlikely Michigan wins, but damn would it be amazing.

Look I love the positivity,…

Look I love the positivity, and I want it bad, but I’ve also learned to lower my expectations to protect myself. I’ll be at the game cheering my ass off and will have a great day win or lose. Even if I think a loss is likely, I’m stoked to make it to The Game this year. Go Blue! 

Solid first game for the…

Solid first game for the team. Gives them some things to work on. It’s gonna be real tough to keep diabate and houstan off the court. You could feel the energy when they were playing. Dickinson had his moments but also struggled in space on defense. Basically everybody had a few moments where they shined. TWill and to a lesser extent Nunez were very pleasant surprises. 

I mean sure, but only in a…

I mean sure, but only in a technical type of way. I guess that’s one positive of playing OSU late. I’ll always have that assumed loss to keep my hopes in check. Also March madness is always a crap shoot so even if Michigan was undefeated heading into the tourney I wouldn’t have any confidence in them winning it all. 

Call me negative, but I…

Call me negative, but I think MSU is able to put up a few more big plays to get the win.  Certainly a winnable game for either team. Msu 24 UM 17. I also just took a Covid test so maybe I’m just a bummer right now. Hoping it comes back negative and I’m feeling better come Saturday.

I’m considering making the trip. I have a buddy that lives really close to the stadium. Just not sure if I feel like making the trip.

That is kind of a weird stat…

That is kind of a weird stat but it’s actually more impressive to win the title outright since they’re often shared. I’ll choose to look at that as a positive. I’m honestly not sure what point ESPN was making with that, though. 

Honestly the only way they…

Honestly the only way they’ll truly shut up is if Michigan takes them down in the big ten tournament. Or they might shut up a bit if they lose in game one or two and Michigan wins it. I’m with you, though. I’m hoping Illinois lose to OSU. 

So there’s an MSU game on 3…

So there’s an MSU game on 3/4 and 3/7 then? Maybe I’m missing something, but the schedule on mgoblue is only showing the 3/4 game. 

I have a bunch of free money…

I have a bunch of free money coming regardless of the outcome. There have been some nice promotions for online betting now that it’s legal. I’ll win $250 if the chiefs win (which I think they will). I also have a small free bet on the bucs and a few different prop bets. I’ll also get $100 of a TD is scored by either team lol 

I’ll give Harbaugh credit…

I’ll give Harbaugh credit for staying strong on the recruiting trail, but it means nothing if he can’t actually win something on the field. I’ll be rooting for them to turn things around, I just personally don’t see it happening. I’m not buying into any hype going forward until I see it on the field. 

My bet on Iowa to beat the…

My bet on Iowa to beat the spread is not looking great, but MSU has a lot of fouls early and i doubt their shooting holds. 

Yup I always think of Lance…

Yup I always think of Lance when I see him play. He just has an intensity that never stops. This team just demoralized two solid opponents. Can’t wait to see how this team finishes the year. 

I love watching these guys…

I love watching these guys play defense. After the game JH talked about how they had to refocus on defense during their time off and it shows. This is a really tight group that really responds to what JH tells them to do. Part of me wants the team to not get a break when they’re hot right now, but it’s probably better to get a breather heading into Wisconsin. 

Solid Christmas with my…

Solid Christmas with my parents and brother. Prime rib and crab legs for us. Amazing meal.
 

Then watched Michigan get a solid W. Michigan looked a step quicker than Nebraska at times. Dickinson has been a blast to watch. That quick post spin he had was awesome. I’m amazed at how quick he can get into a shot. He looks really comfortable down low. Mike Smith is looking great, too. Really comfortable on the floor and not forcing anything. I thought Franz looked great today, too. I’m wondering if the time off has helped him heal up a bit. Overall I’m really excited to see where this team goes. They have some great pieces, but they need to clean their turnovers/defense up a bit. 

My thoughts exactly. They…

My thoughts exactly. They might as well just play fight night on PlayStation or something. 

I know Roy Jones Jr said he…

I know Roy Jones Jr said he still thinks Tyson will try to knock him out anyway, but the no knockout rule with headgear and no judges ruined the whole thing for me. I probably wasn’t gonna pay for it anyway, but I do have a friend that has us over for a lot of ufc PPVs so I originally planned on watching it with him. Probably better I don’t watch it with him with covid raging, but idk why they bothered with this “fight.” I’m interested to see how much money they make off this fight. 

If that video of the team…

If that video of the team after Chaundee’s waiver was approved is any indication then I think they’ll be fine. Hopefully that transfers to real games. I could see it taking them a bit to get rolling though. 

Don't read the fucking posts…

Don't read the fucking posts then. How about that? Jesus christ.

Nothing tonight but I’ll be…

Nothing tonight but I’ll be hitting the captain hard tomorrow with cider/coke. Parents are having a tailgate at their house with a bunch of people. Plenty of MSU fans will be in attendance. Pretty respectable group so I don’t plan on rubbing the inevitable victory in too much. 

That would be interesting to…

That would be interesting to see, and I think Evans could be a big factor if they do something like that. Probably depends on how the WRs are performing.

To me if they wanted to work…

To me if they wanted to work athletics into a degree, they should just add it into some type of "sports business" major. Part of their studies would focus on the business aspect of sports, and part of it could give them credit for the work they've put in on the field. Coaches or even a new teacher position on the coaching staff could evaluate how they're progressing athletically. Film room could in some way be considered a class or lab. I think there's room for something like this to be considered a legitimate academic major, especially when you consider some of the other majors people are pursuing. 

This is the first car I've…

This is the first car I've seen from ford aside from the Mustang that I've actually found interesting in quite a while. Once they actually come out I'll have to take a second look and consider getting one. Partially depends on my job situation at the time, though. Ford has to be worried about the Bronco tanking with Covid going on.

If all the numbers are bs then why post an infographic with numbers?

I've been cutting my own hair since high school (I'm 28 now). Originally I just buzzed it, but I've gotten to the point now that I can fade it a bit. Hardest part is making sure it's even on the back of my head. The quarantine has also let me try to grow out my beard and mustache, too. 

 

Finally getting into Destiny…

Finally getting into Destiny 2 a bit. I put a ton of time into the first one and the sequel never really hooked me like that first one. Part of the issue is I haven't had the same amount of time to sink in to video games as I used to, so it has been nice being able to stay home and have no restrictions on how much I play. 

I might buy a switch after my stimulus check comes in (if I can find one to buy). Still have at least another month not working so I'll have plenty of time to sink into that too. 

Probably the group of…

Probably the group of abortion protestors outside the abortion clinic here that felt the need to all be huddled around each other as they prayed. 

Yeah I kinda agree with you…

Yeah I kinda agree with you there. Looking at it from her perspective, if "fallout from climate change" is the type of thinking for most (or any, really) of your reasons to not have a kid, then I think it'd be hard to not see that as making excuses. She probably just thinks you don't want to have a kid, but refuse to tell her that for whatever reason. OP should really consider (apart from all outside factors) whether they truly want a kid or not. Obviously that's a big life decision, but if you don't think you're on board then it might be time to move on. I'm sure staying at home has caused you both to overthink the situation a little, so hopefully you can both take some time to really think about it while you're apart. It certainly doesn't seem like a great time to try to start having a kid, but I hope you can both figure out what you want.

How could you possibly rewatch shows when you already know the outcome?

Howard has a wide variety of expressions on the sideline and I love it.

I love JB, but I don't see him going anywhere honestly. He's too old to start fresh somewhere. Maybe he just isn't ready to retire, but he has to at some point. It just really sucks to see him struggle in Cleveland. Hang it up Coach, you've had one hell of a career.

Livers breathes new life into this team. I'm really excited to see how they finish the season. Just get to the tournament and see what happens.

Crazy that Rutgers had 36 more shots than Michigan and they still won.

Or this just confirms that Simpson didn't travel with the team, but hitchhiked all the way to NY to show his dedication and force Juwan's hand to reinstate him. I refuse to believe random people on the internet were wrong.

Man I loved those guys as a kid/teen. Petway could really dunk. Did he win one of those dunk contest once?

NFL looks pretty chalky to me, LSU probably wins by a couple scores, and I've been having a variety of drinks so it's hard to say. Really hoping we don't lose power in GR as I've recently gotten back to getting weekends off and I'd like to enjoy it.

People are really worried about being criticized for uninformative thread titles. Pretty soon everybody will complain about thread titles being too long.

It's funny you say that after posting this garbage thread.

Loved the thread title. I try not to expect too much from star wars movies and this causes me to generally enjoy the movies. I truly don't know if it's even possible for them to make a movie the hardcore star wars fans wouldn't bitch about. I'm not saying the new movies are amazing or anything, but they're entertaining. That's it.
