    Their high school coaches and AAU coaches have probably a better appreciation of Michigan than maybe they had before," Beilein said. "It's a tough balance right now. Tim Hardaway and Trey Burke weren't really high-profile players, nor was Darius Morris, and all were high-profile players. "We're still looking at 'who is the best fit.' "

9 hours 54 min ago Now rebuilding a house 5

Now rebuilding a house 5 times on the coast because hurricanes/surge keep knocking it down is just stupid and I would agree with you.

However, forcasting tornadoes is a crap shoot at best, just think about how many "warnings" Michigan gets yet we never see anything come of it.  Saying you cant build there is asinine, unless you want to make the entire Plains area off limits, as it is literally a 1 in a (insert large number) chance of happening again.  The fact of the matter is, is that the topography of the Plains lends itself to the formation of these super cells and there ain't a damn thing you can do about it. 

Having went through my first tornado scare last year, and in speaking to coworkers, this is just a fact of life down here that everyone accepts and hopes it never hits them.

Honestly, I think that has to do with the BTN.  If the BTN didnt exist, what incentive would there be to form a B1G hockey league?

5 days 8 hours ago   As long as the uniformz

 

As long as the uniformz are badass looking and not MSU game killerbee uni's, I think it's a great idea.

The alternate uni's are never good looking though.

I am 26 years old so I would think I am in this younger demographic the AD is trying to cater to.  The whole UTL thing,sure it was a big night so you wanted some special jerseys and at least they kind of tried to go "retro".  OK. I get that. 

However, we do not need 5 different combos each year, pick 1 f*cking game so you can make some extra coin and leave it the hell alone because they always look stupid, and you just piss on the #1 rated uniform in sports.

6 days 8 hours ago Is MGoBlog the reason why

Is MGoBlog the reason why every doctor is running "a little behind this morning", and  you wait 2 hours after your scheduled apt. time? Seems like everytime there is a MD thread, we get some very specific advice/recommendations during...ahem work hours. (Full disclosure; I drive a desk all day, with only internal meetings/apointments) 

1 week 9 hours ago I smell a kickstarter...

We raised 70k in 30 days...I'm pretty sure we can fund the buyout ourselves.  Also, we need to make F'cking sure we get said amount in pennies and drive a few dumptrucks over to that 1/2 scale replica of Michigan stadium and fill 'er up.  To hell with Notre Dame.

1 week 4 days ago I feel your pain.  We bought

I feel your pain.  We bought a foreclosure in Oct. 2012, so we spent the winter inside and "neglecting" the yard. 

Found out that we should have thrown down mulch/topsoil/seed mix in the winter and let it go dormant and then pick it back up in the spring.  So right now I'm just trying to kill all the crabgrass/chickweed that is what currently passes for "grass" in my yard and planning on doing a major re-seeding this fall.

It wouldn't be so bad if I had some Michigan black dirt, rather than this southern red clay that tracks everywhere.      

1 week 4 days ago Looks like we are finally

Looks like we are finally going to see the sun during the weekend which is good as we are taking the 6 month old puppy on a charity 2k Dog walk for the local humane society tomorrow.

I've already mowed the lawn for this week and I guess I really should get started on writing my script for the wedding ceremony I am officiating for my sister in law and her fiance.  That said, I feel I should be drinking wine out of a chalice/goblet while I am contemplating the meaning of love/happiness/marriage. 

1 week 4 days ago I think the short answer to

I think the short answer to that is yes.  You do not turn down Top 5 talent (Hand) and McDowell is in the running for best player in the state.

I've just upvoted every single one of these posts.  Pos Bang for everyone!  Also, keep up the good work Fingergunz. 

1 week 5 days ago At this point, I have a hard

At this point, I have a hard time seeing M pick up a 2nd stringer.  All these guys want to transfer to a school for immediate playing time (because playing at Northwestern State for a year is a surefire way to get drafted).

I wonder if Gallon's cloaking field works as a QB (QB in HS).  Trot him out w/ DG in a split backfield set and the D is going to wonder if DG is drunk as he is lined up over the guard.   

1 week 5 days ago Man that AD makes some

Man that AD makes some awesome hires; hire/fire one guy for hiring/banging a Co-Ed, hire/let go another who looked totally lost out there, and then hire a Twitter Troll who for your Head football coach and face of the University.

Mike Gundy asks Bret Bielema "Arent you a MAN? COME AT ME, I'M A MAN". Act your age man.

1 week 5 days ago I'm looking forward to the

I'm looking forward to the fact that in well, like a week these types of articles will be gone forever and everyone can look back at this point in time and say "welp, that sure did suck but lets move on.  Let's bro-hug it out".  <<<----as that is what needs to happen.  Enough of the he said, she said.  Its done. All penalties are paid in full.  Move on.

1 week 5 days ago Wow, the MGostore is getting

Wow, the MGostore is getting hammered.  Cant get anything to go through, just loads of connection timeouts and spinning circles. 

1 week 6 days ago huh, you know I kind of like

huh, you know I kind of like that idea;

 

Here is 60k a year, but you have to pay tuition/board/meals out of that, anything left over is yours to keep.  You could still do partial scholarships with this set up too but I guess the kicker is how many womens sports are "full ride" rather than partial scholarships which could make this expensive.    

2 weeks 5 hours ago While yes, the per subscriber

While yes, the per subscriber fee for ESPN would increase.  If TV was a strict ala carte model, I would have to think you would see these ridiculous fee's paid to the conferences start to hit a ceiling and come down (supply/demand).  Right now there is such a huge supply (subscribers) that they can afford to throw buckets of money at a conference just for the right to broadcast a random Tuesday night game but if that cost starts being shouldered by actual sports fans, expect everyone to say f*ck it I'll watch it at Bdubs (if at all).  I honestly do not think the demand is there for XX million subscribers to pony up $50 a month for just ESPN, and end up watching the crap they put on TV.

Best thing everyone can hope for is that Fox Sports 1 takes off and gives ESPN a run for the money (though it retrospect, they will probably overpay to get a "name" conference on board).

2 weeks 5 hours ago With all due respect, and I

With all due respect, and I mean with all due respect but your obviously not married and/or engaged with your "why am I forced to pay for Lifetime and OWN?"?

Why?

Because happy wife, happy life thats why.

Isnt the Longhorn network a serious drag on them right now? I seem to recall an article about how they were having trouble putting out content and getting subscriptions sold for it.  However, my mind may have just made this whole thing up....as I dont have a source link.
