This poem actually resonates…

This poem actually resonates with me, one week after the ascendance of fandom.

Maybe I've watched too much Xavier: Renegade Angel, and now it's all coming together

Kudos to the pedantic photo…

Kudos to the pedantic photo caption. Wouldn't expect less from a Michigan blog or this Michigan blog.

As an event DJ, I refused to…

As an event DJ, I refused to play that or Gettin Jiggy Wit It. I tried my best not to play Electric Slide either, but ended up having to cave to one of them.

Please, for the sake of your children, teach them early that these songs are not acceptable to be played over a speaker.

Unfortunately I spent more…

Unfortunately I spent more time on Championship manager 03/04 than NCAA (I had to study, and playing controller games conflicted with playing school).

 

It's too bad that baseball is the only other sport that ports well into a spreadsheet simulator. Football requires too much granular detail and real-time adjustment.

If someone ever figured out the marriage of CM (now FM) and NCAA Football, they'd have a gold mine. The EA Coach game isn't the same, it's just Madden without the ability to move the player.

Why are there "We'll be…

Why are there "We'll be right back" sections for a stream? Can't they just put a field-cam in its place during media time outs? Aside from radio, what media needs a time out?

EZ Cheeze! In South Quad we…

EZ Cheeze! In South Quad we set up an EZ Cheeze station where we would toss the cans around the room for our crackers (or anything that could host a spritz of it)

How "has to be Rutgers" was…

How "has to be Rutgers" was it to not only have club lighting, but also Ozzy and/or Metallica playing every third down? Rutgers AD: Let's not try to show any type of stadium and college-specific culture guys

Any abnormal structural…

Any abnormal structural damage to the brain can be an epileptogenic focus for seizure activity.

Previous stroke is the most common cause of geriatric new-onset seizure for example.
I didn't bother scholar.google the CTE/seizure link, but I'd guess yes, CTE -> seizures.

Seizures are not associated with causing CTE.

CTE is due to repetitive micro-trauma to the brain. Seizures are not really micro-trauma per se, just abnormal electrical activity. I'm not an MGoNeurologist though and would defer to one.

The way he drew that… really close to something he may not want to be seen flaunting…

Just to be nit-picky, it's Rhett Andersen (not Anderson).

He's a competent PK backup to say the least, as JH called him up and offered him a spot.

The comment from Internet…

The comment from Internet Guy who works for the AD mentioned that this was a Weiss thing. If true, interesting comment.

Do I get to read mgoblog fan fic? Make mgoblog / Freep my own personal erotica?

We all know why this is, and…

We all know why this is, and I forget if it was here, other sites, or a Bacon book: Michigan refused to pay its players. The other schools had no problem with that, which is why the regional thing gets magnified.

 

I don't know if NIL will create parity or not, but we will always lack 17 5* recruits on the team.

Paraphrasing Todd Jones in…

Paraphrasing Todd Jones in 2012: "In order to lose a CFP semi, you have to get to the CFP semi."

Like an election, someone has to win and someone has to lose. We knew going in that we weren't the favorites, so it doesn't sting as much to me.

Do we have a Bishop or Queen…

Do we have a Bishop or Queen on the roster? We had Fitz en passant. Had a King long long ago. Maybe a Knight somewhere.

I still remember in physics…

I still remember in physics 240, Prof Milton brought up the muon lifespan thing almost in passing. I still am befuddled by that (I’ve watched enough YouTube to “get it” but I also don’t get it).

 

I’m going to show my kids this comic.

 

where else but mgoblog would I find a random muon comic?

 

oh yeah, and our offensive identity has been a mess ever after Rudock and Speight year one. So there, some sports opinion for the board

Have you had The Gobbler at Wawa in the fall?

Key point: use Duke's. They don't use sugar in their mayo

Is this UM-UF thing a plot? Are we required to play Florida as often as possible in any venue possible?

Meta question: I'm no…

Meta question: I'm no MGoLawyer, but I'm looking to start an unrelated podcast. Everything I read online says that I can't use any copyrighted music, even for 10-15 seconds, without rights clearance. How do you guys get around that?

The article implies that…

The article implies that Lloyd invented the dime defense. Did he....? Because nowhere else is this mentioned, not when the dime became a thing

Why doesn't anyone go after Bob Stitt?

There was also mention of a “role” of the dice.

 

is this week’s post a point to see how many or how fast the mistakes are caught?

I’m confused, so i think this is a typo:

“Harbaugh is on everybody's short list of best coaches in the country for Hoke's plans.”

This is the story that…

This is the story that everyone isn’t reporting in a bigger way (yet?)

how can a non official make the decision? Why have refs?

I will be driving back from…

I will be driving back from vacation also. TuneIn-WTKA-AirPod is how this goes

I didn’t bother to read…

I didn’t bother to read after they play-by-played the first series.

i agree, nothing of value that a box score can’t do. How many sports blog reference Alexander the Great (calling two timeouts before battle). Or have a guy posting with advanced math?

Yeah, we have a new trusted agent! Does anyone recall the last time Jim opened up and explicitly, publicly declared someone into that club?

That made me laugh when I saw it too. The TE just blew right past him. Reminded me of Bogut high-fiving himself after a free throw

If Kathy Ireland (either version: now or 1990's) was a kicker on a team, I'd suggest ESPN ocho show all of their games. Just because...

Or any team that had Sinbad on the line. Just for comical effect.

You could say we are maybe invested in Notre Dame being "good"?

This has been on the horizon This has been on the horizon for 3-5 years. Nobody in the news had better act surprised, it was fairly obvious this would be the conclusion once the shots were fired years ago
He should be fine. The He should be fine. The residents typically only get exposed to angst from the attending a who have to put up with the executive crap. In other shakeups (like when Team Health moves in [we will ignore Summa]), residents don’t face as much change because they don’t control anything and aren’t seen as revenue producers. Residents are preferred by mega corps because you can work them twice as long as a full time APP for half the cost. He will still get good training. As an ex-pat Detroiter who did residency in the city, the training in Detroit prepares one for life without the cost of living in Boston or NYC.
I wouldn’t put much faith in I wouldn’t put much faith in Disney Springs. I can’t recall a lot of tv-bars and you can get stuck on an island if you can’t find the game. I describe Disney buses as “efficient but slow.” Hotel bar is best option, with possibly one of the Boardwalk / beach/yacht resorts as viable. Magic kingdom resorts least viable, and all star and pop as not viable (no bar). Not sure about Coronado or Caribbean beach. Port Orleans is least traveled for this type of thing. If you care that much about Frozen Four, you ought to leave the property to find the game.
Regardless of who or what Regardless of who or what that is, it needs to stop. If it is a woman, imagine if you were married to her........
Fatal car accidents seem way

Fatal car accidents seem way more prevalent here. I can't figure out why, and it's not because of "young military machismo."

Eastern Virginia (Hampton

Eastern Virginia (Hampton Roads, Eastern Shore) is largely built on swamp. I live in a town that was an island until they started filling it in with roads. When it rains, it floods. Thankfully I bought a house on higher ground (no flood insurance!).

But, for example, Tangier Island is going to soon disappear.

I would move back to the suburbs on the east side of Detroit if it wasn't for:

Virginia's weather spoiling me

Crime

Annoying job situation in Detroit area for my profession.

 

 

Looks like I need to consider my kids' futures and move back. Michigan does have some things Virginia doesn't:

Hockey

Cuisine culture (Detroit style pizza, Coney, etc)

Legitimate sports teams

Positive stories on a Monday

Positive stories on a Monday are always a good idea, regardless of how far OT it may be.

 

EDIT: This story isn't far OT. I meant in general, way OT stories on a Monday would be ok by me. I guess that's why I read FARK so much on Monday.

Not sure if being stuck in

Not sure if being stuck in Puxatawny is the best day to have to relive over and over.  It took him how long to finally connect with Andie McDowell? That would have been my #2 priority after final realization that I was *a* God.

I wonder if I was stuck with Andie McDowell today, if I would still prioritize her?

 

Yes

 

EDIT: After further review. Yes with stipulation. Would need to wash off the plastic that melted onto me.

Oh yeah Maniac Nurses Find Ecstacy is both the greatest and most disturbing movie of all time. I think it’s the greatest movie, my wife’s friends find it the most disturbing. Follow that with the opening scenes of Terror Firmer (a person punches a pregnant woman’s abdomen to pull the fetus out) and you are in for a day of questioning your movie selection
Oh yeah, I blocked out the Oh yeah, I blocked out the tortoise being beheaded with multiple hacks of the ax. Thanks. I had forgotten that and now it’s back in my head
