My FIL passed away the other day. Both of my wife's parents are living with us. He fell asleep and never woke up. He was still alive for a week but much of his brain died. He was 87.
As a kid they were under my radar. I liked led zep and I knew GFRR was from Flint and made it big. Ted Nugent from Detroit had some hard rock songs. And of course Bob Seger from Ann Arbor made it big.
Never go hooked, even though my parent purchased me an atari system in 1976, when I was 12. It was fun playing pong and tank. But I stayed away from the early games in the 1980s and spent more time outdoors. My wife would never let me play video games.
Yes, I was in the 11th grade. 2 weeks after the tornado I went with my Mom to a dog show in Kalamazoo and you could see this narrow path of bad damage going right through town.
I remember all the baseball cards I use to collect back from age 6 to age 10. I think when I went to college, my parents may have thrown them out. They were in the basement and it may have flooded.
Nice to keep great instate talent from leaving. It seem like 5 to 15 years ago many 4 and 5 star Michigan players left for out of state schools. I hope this is a good trend.
When JJ was here, I'm surprised we never got the 5 star WRs. Now it seems we are probably going to be an all run team with an occasional 10 to 20 yard pass. So, I doubt we get any great WR through the portal.
There will probably be a 4 way battle this summer. Orji, Warren, Tuttle, and a portal transfer. May the best QB win. If it is not Orji as starter, he will be used a lot through the year. We probably need 3 who could start if needed this season.
The offense looked better than I expected. Usually in spring games the D dominates. Warren and Orji looked good. Tuttle and possibly a portal QB will be in the mix summer.
Denegal does have a slow release. He did not have a good passing game Today. Denegal seem to be a better player last spring game. If Orgi can get more accurate on his 10 to 20 yards throws, he will have a good season.
Looks like QB battle early will be Orji vs Warren. Though when Tuttle comes back he will make a run this summer. I still think if there is a good QB in the portal, Michigan should grab him.
There must be a good QB on a .500 that is a good passer. We will need a QB who has an accurate arm and who is healthy. Hopefully, we can get one in the next month. Also, there may be a few good WR who would like to play on a team with a good chance of making the playoffs.
Henne was probably the best pure passer to play for Michigan. He did not do as well in the NFL that I thought he would after being drafted. He became the starter at Miami but hut that team was a mess. I thought Henne was going to have a greater NFL career.
His only slight flaw may be 50 + yard inaccuracy at times. But this could be partly fault of our WR. Put JJ with OSU WRs, I think you would see a lot more deep passing yards.
PSU seem to be on a lot of top talent for not doing much on the field for the past decade. The probably have a good NIL program much like OSU. I think M will eventually have to go down the NIL road for top recruits. So far we are building up 3 and 4 stars to perform like 5 stars.
I drove to west of Little Rock, AR. It was great but did not get as dark as the 2017 eclipse. I had to endure a 3 hour traffic jam westbound on I-40 in western AR.
It would be great to have Moore back in time as the season ends. We will beat OSU in Columbus and Moore will help us beat them a 2nd time in the B1G championship game, and then a 3rd time in the playoffs.

I think our Defense will be great. But our offense could be like Iowa, if we don't have a good passing game.

Even down here in KS we are getting a good view. The lights show up better on an iPhone. camera.

It will always be a rough day for Columbus in late November.
There's a town in SW KS called climax and there's a town down the road called Protection.
Good lead times for tornado warnings issued by the NWS in Grand Rapids. Lot of people had time to take cover.
RIP Obi! More sad news. He was only 36. One of the bright spots on the RR teams.
Yikes, I had a TOPs Reggie Jackson rookie baseball card. In good shape, it would be worth several hundred thousand dollars.

RIP Darius! Wow, 33 is way too young. I wonder if it was cancer?
I have not seen mathlete post on the blog in years. I wonder if got unplugged after the COVID?
Even if ND only loses 3 games, they probably will make the playoffs. They could knock us out if we lose 3 games this season. Pathetic!
Congrats getting your degree JD. If JD had a healthy heart, I wonder if he would be the starting QB? He would have gotten an extra COVID season.

I remember watching the banana splits on Saturday morning when I was 6 back in 1969

I had Blanchard who did a good job. The year before was Walter Cronkite
Congrats to all the grads! I still remember the excitement I had when I walked across the stage in 1985!
I'd give them a B. They filled their major need, a weak secondary. Nothing spectacular but decent. The Chiefs some how had a great draft.
So, we now have a team that could finish above .500 in the conference and make the tourney?
He was the chubby QB who did not have great pass accuracy.

WR may not be a weakness, with Morgan, Morris, Moore, and Bell. Plus our two good TE.
The offense looked better than I expected. Usually in spring games the D dominates. Warren and Orji looked good. Tuttle and possibly a portal QB will be in the mix summer.
Moore and Bell looked good at WR. A bit more optimistic about our WR. Though, if there is a good deep WR in the portal, M should grab him.

O'Larey had a big spring game last year. Almost made some big catches in this game.
Needs: A few more WR through the portal. If there is a good passing QB in the portal, M should pick him up.
Not surprising. Reports were that Dengal was not doing well in spring practice Michigan should have went hard after McCord. They knew JJ was leaving.
I'm glad the real spring game is back. Many years it was a lame scrimmage.
Looks like QB battle early will be Orji vs Warren. Though when Tuttle comes back he will make a run this summer. I still think if there is a good QB in the portal, Michigan should grab him.
I thought the D would play better but nice to see the offense make some plays against our tough D.
Orji did not look too bad on the first drive. Got a few tight throws.

If I lived closer, I would go!

I can't wait! The 9/14/99 eclipse totality path will cross southwest Michigan.
I know Milroe passed for a lot of yardage in High School, so the passing was always there. Not sure what Orgi did in HIgh School as far as passing?
Does not surprise me, it's what you expect going to OH to see an eclipse.
I drove to west of Little Rock, AR. It was great but did not get as dark as the 2017 eclipse. I had to endure a 3 hour traffic jam westbound on I-40 in western AR.
Too bad there is not a Jake Ruddock 2.0 out there!
I'm glad our D will be elite again this season. We may need to win a lot of low scoring games to make the playoffs.
It would be great to have Moore back in time as the season ends. We will beat OSU in Columbus and Moore will help us beat them a 2nd time in the B1G championship game, and then a 3rd time in the playoffs.
