Good, but not great band. They get a lot of unnecessary hate on the internet due to the very obvious Zeppelin influences, but I missed where "sounds like Led Zeppelin" is a bad thing.
While they're not exactly my thing, the kids are clearly talented, I wish people wouldn't shit on them so much, but the internet is gonna internet.
Hutch would win in a runaway if Sauce wasn't in the same class. Sauce is just other-worldly. Hutch had a fantastic year. A lot of people point to the interceptions thing, but something that this blog has taught me is this: if your CB doesn't have a lot of "stats" that means you have an amazing CB because other teams stay the eff away.
I thought it didn't sound as severe as the thing everyone was worried about/jumping to conclusions about. I do wonder what he actually did. "Fraudulent activity regarding emails" could be a lot of things.
Not overly concerned with who the three are, though losing Henning and Anthony isn't great, it's not a back breaker.
I'm not too worried about who will spot in at PR, we've got more than enough people with skills to be able to be the punt returner, including Ronnie, who has experience.
No thank you. Not even because of the Buckeye thing, more because I don't think he responds well to pressure and he'd see a lot more of it in the NFL compared to the B1G.
The only "1st round" QB I'd want them to consider is Bryce Young if he's there with the Rams' pick, but he's likely going to Houston so go D in the 1st. Holmes and Campbell have drafted incredibly well thus far so I have faith they won't reach for a QB.
Besides, Lamar Jackson is going to sign with the Lions as a free agent after the 23-24 season when he's off the Franchise Tag.
Everything you've posited seems likely. The two most likely upsets that would help us would Baylor over TCU and SC over Tennessee. I just can't see a two loss Tennessee team making it in, and TCU can only make it in if they're undefeated imho.
Mississippi State over Georgia, I don't think it will happen but we wouldn't mind that either.
Also, as funny as Indiana over OSU would be, idk that we actually WANT it to happen from a CFP perspective. If OSU loses that one, we'd want them to drop to drop the following week to Maryland as well to guarantee our spot in the B1G championship regardless of the outcome of The Game. If we're both undefeated going into The Game there are arguments to be made for the loser of that game to make the CFP no matter what.
I know there was a board thread about this that got removed for not being the right place, and that you guys are typing your fingers into little nubs but wanted to get it posted here that I, and presumably many others, have been getting an incredibly disruptive Discover ad that expands and covers half the screen, sometimes even doing it repeatedly after clicking the arrow to shrink the ad. I even had one variation of it where I got the large lower banner AND a side banner that pushed the message board sidebar off the screen to the side. Image included:
*Is hit by the memory of being soaking wet from rain. So much rain that my rain gear did nothing. Drenched from head to toe as if I had just leapt into a pool fully clothed before climbing out and taking my seat in Sec. 7. Walking back to the car soaked and silent. Riding home soaked and silent. Just the cold and the wet.*
I don't think the obvious top level players probably had to worry about being shit-talked to NHL scouts and GMs, it was the more borderline guys fighting for a draft spot that had to worry.
What I don't understand is if University leadership has had this since May, and it's really that bad, why didn't they just pull the trigger?
JUB isn't one to throw out "he needs to go" talk willy nilly, and for him to come to that conclusion it seems pretty obvious that will be the conclusion.
Sometimes I think about how much that spot changed the trajectory of UM football for years. If we make the CFP in Harbaugh Year 2, it changes the entire tenor of his regime.
That said I'm glad I have 2021 to look back on now. I still have The Game saved and rewatch it occasionally.
This actually makes a lot of sense in a “if Michigan and Ohio State have to play each other every year they each get one of Rutgers and Maryland for balance reasons” kind of way.
The conference games 100% used to be on here. A coworker and I used it as reference for various conversations about football. Just because the edit isn't documented doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Brian you misspelled the name, it's "Justin Pippen (YTP)."

I’m not saying this is wrong, but I’m seeing literally zero corroborating reports from Sam, Henschke, Angelique, Wojo, etc…
Wonderful stuff Ace, glad to be able to read it.
Man I’m just enjoying the moment and not worrying about this at all right now.
I'd be very interested in that, obviously time permitting.
The only time I can remember UFRs being done for other teams were either Shea or O'Korn's games for old teams? I think?
I still believe if we win the Natty he's gone to the NFL and Moore takes over as HC.
Sometimes shitty people die and that’s okay.
I also can’t hear without the captions. Solidarity.

So was Najee Harris.

Spielman feels like an obvious choice for good reason.
For Sparty, I do really like KWIII. Well "like" might be a strong word, maybe respect is better. Kid is a baller.
It's simple really.
Wait, wait, wait, the Domani thing is/was real? It just felt too overly hopeful to be plausible.
Dude wants to be an Olympian in track and field. The weather (and maybe facilities) is more conducive to that in SC.

I like this question, this is a good question.
The NFL is still in play.

That's not a real year!

This feels like a clear rule 7 violation:

None of the weather women posted are scantily clad necessarily, but the post is gross and was clearly done to objectify them.
Edit: And for that matter, it feels like there are still a fair amount of user avatars that would violate the same rule.
Iowa section has me rolling. Fan-fucking-tastic.
My guess is that he's just not ready yet/not completely gelled in with the team. He got in late and these things take time.

Thought this meant Cunningham for a second. Got real nervous.

Hey I just got that email too!
ND and the B1G are gonna finally get together! I'm so happy that they've ended the will they/won't they thing. It's gone on for too many seasons.
The Big 12 didn't have the money behind it the B1G does.
Auerbach is reporting that one of her sources is saying they predict this will end up with two super conferences, B1G and SEC, each with 20 teams.
Sure, might as well.

A link to the future schedules page on mgoblue which has in fact been scrubbed of any B1G games, only non-con still on there.
https://mgoblue.com/news/2009/8/18/Future_Michigan_Football_Schedules.aspx
The Oklahoma and Texas games are still there, they're just on the "future schedules" page. It used to have the B1G opponents on there as well.
IDK who you take but I've gotta say I'm absolutely STOKED about the upward trajectory of this team.
