It probably won't work on 12/31 when we get to the 366th day of this year.

I'm glad he pointed out that…

I'm glad he pointed out that it was the Super Bowl, 55 times. I had no idea what I was watching without that insight. 

And then he went on to be…

And then he went on to be called Kid Rock!

Phantom Foul on Bill…

Phantom Foul on Bill Laimbeer guarding Kareem, 1988 NBA Finals Game 6.

Bird Stole the Ball, 1987 NBA Eastern Conference Finals

Desmond was tripped, 1990 MSU

3 Holding penalties on the last play, 2001 MSU (A lot of people think the most egregious thing about this was the extra second on the clock for the home team)

TCU game didn't have a single moment to ID, and is significantly less painful as it was a building block for this great season we are still enjoying.

Jimmy Devallo will never be forgiven for the trade of Adam Oates, we could have had more cups than we got.

The internet connects to him.

 

He doesn't do push ups, he pushes the earth down.

He once ordered a steak and it obeyed.

He was once bitten by a poisonous snake and after a week of excruciating pain, the snake died.

 

They burned me again this…

They burned me again this year, they haven't for many years.  Only after the first half yesterday did I start to think they were going to finally break through to the Superbowl AND WHEN I BELEIVE IS ALWAY WHEN THEY BREAK MY HEART!

 

I should have just skipped watching the game.

Is picking up Alabama's perpetually low snapping center an OL upgrade?

Isn't this there where I can hear the complete interview :)

I would also be inclined to think professional athletes each have individual personal trainers for S&C.

Why doesn't the Conference…

Why doesn't the Conference Championship game count as a conference win for this streak?  10 this year, 10 last year, 5 in 2021 gets us to 25 straight conference wins.

Probably not because they…

Probably not because they were half as long.

Ewers is coming back to meet Mason Graham a few times

I gave up wearing michigan…

I gave up wearing michigan gear to work every Friday before a game day after the COVID season, and I'm never going back tomy old ways.

I also have an all M themed Christmas tree I typically only put up when its a good year to put me on the mood to celebrate M erry Christmas, but then and after the last 2 years of losses in the playoff, and the no more shirts to work thing, well, i left the tree in the box to see what would happen, and viola

I'm the George Costanza of M fans, they clearly only do well when I don't show off my fandom.

Wearing Michigan Boxers and Socks seems to be OK though :)

Surely, you can't be serious?

I am serious, and don't call me Shirley.

It was about 3AM for me, I just couldn't sleep after, might have to call in sick Tuesday.

Tennessee Fighting Creamsicles! YUM!

Merry Christmas to BLOG, and to BLOG a good night!

I pity the fool that hates on the letter T!

It's Mr. T's birthday, and he pities the fool! Take a look at his most ...

Huh, I forgot there was an…

Huh, I forgot there was an Alamo bowl.

I remember noticing at that…

I remember noticing at that game that our scoreboard operator couldn't even update the down and distance fast enough to keep up with their offense, let alone our defense. 

 

So when we win our next 2…

So when we win our next 2 games, JJ declares for the draft, we bring in McCord and we win THE GAME 2024 with him, that would be a serious IN YOUR FACE to THIRD BASE.

The chance to beat Alabama…

The chance to beat Alabama is a great opportunity, I hope we make the most of it. 

As of this moment we have 2 wins and 3 losses against Alabama all time, so we get back to even.

We have the 3rd best all time win%, Alabama has the 2nd best win %, we will trade places with a win.

 

Now

AL: 965-336-43:  0.734002976

MI: 1002-353-36: 0.733285406

After M wins

MI: 1003-353-36:  0.733477011

AL: 965-337-43:   0.733457249

 

That would leave just our most intense rival barely clinging to 1st in win %; even if they lose their bowl game they'll be at 0.733703704

Mildly ironic, that the only content after the jump is "More analysis to follow. There is no content after the jump."  :)

I think I'd like to see Sherrone Moore accept the trophy then walk it off the podium and hand it to Harbaugh.  Harbaugh then can proceed to spike it.

I gave serious thought to subscribing to SI just to get that phone, lol, I didn't go through with it.

If you are going to THE GAME here is a sign I would like you to steal from me and use, or make a BET(ter) version.

I was today years old (53 years, 5 months, 28 days) when I learned from SD Jones that the NCIS guy played college QB :)

 

THANKS SD!

Similarly, I've always…

Similarly, I've always thought you should go for 2 when you need it, not when you want it, and never before the 4th quarter.  When there is a lot of game left, you never know when a missed kicked extra point or a safety can change what you need in a surprise way.

OP did say Top 3 :)

I don't really count the Fickell season either.

These are your preferences and what you would like to have, not needs.

 

I think Tennessee is still…

I think Tennessee is still mad at us over Woodson intercepting Payton's Heisman, though not really a rivalry and not enough to accuse them of making it up, the certainly would believe a rumor quicker than say LSU, and possibly enhance it from "asked someone and gave them tickets" up to "paid for scouting"

I do find it believable that Stalions was such a super fan and wanted to impress the coaches with his ability so much that he did it all on his own if all it took was to buy tickets.  The guy reportedly lived in his living room and rented out all of his bedrooms just to be at all away games before he made his way into the program.

I thought the most effective form of birth control was not having sex, there is only one time that didn't work.

Theme parks are not…

Theme parks are not replications of the sites that inspire them, they are tributes.  I know I can go see where Washington crossed the Delaware, but can I ride a roller coaster across the Delaware?

Of course they won't have an "It's a slave world" ride there is nothing to celebrate about shameful things.  It's important to teach and learn those lessons but that is outside the nature of an amusement park.  Celebrating the good is not the same thing as ignoring the bad.  The German Pavilion at Epcot center in Disney World doesn't fly Nazi flags, are they ignoring history too?

I'm looking forward to planning a trip to Oklahoma specifically for this, because many people in today's world think that there is ONLY ugliness in American history and always ignore the good.

Thanks for the idea, I would start that tribute band myself it if wasn't for just one thing.  I have, what doctors call, a serious lack of talent.
