2 weeks 5 days ago	Imagine	Imagine Henne, Denard, and Tebow all in the backfield for the Jags.. Potential for a trick play every play!!
3 weeks 2 days ago	There are a few	The closest thing I've seen in real life to this was Wally Szczerbiak at the indoor pool at Miami University. He stood far beyond NBA 3 point range and made something like 45 of 50, with the first 24 in a row. We would chuck the ball football style to him, and he made shots over and over. We were just screwing around, but it was that day I realized he wasn't your average MAC player..
5 weeks 4 days ago	This	I haven't logged onto the blog during a game or done a liveblog since the tourney started, so I will not be joining tonight either. Should muppets ensue, I shall partake.
5 weeks 5 days ago	Butterflies	Butterflies.
5 weeks 5 days ago	This.	This.
5 weeks 6 days ago	this	please?   Also video of the Boeheim dropping shi* postgame..
6 weeks 5 days ago	Superstition	I'm not usually superstitious, but there have been 2 occaisions I couldn't fight it. The first was the UM-MSU game a few years back. I went upstairs in the middle of a party because I didn't want to offend any of my ridiculous OSU homer friends who were laughing at us losing. Moments after I went upstairs the comeback began. Each time we scored I ran to the stairs and high fived my one UM buddy who was over. Then back to my room to watch the game. Throughout the end of the season I started to notice a trend where really good things would happen when I watched the games holding both of my newborn twins. I picked up both twins right before Burke stole the ball at the end of the MSU game. I gave one of the twins to my wife to feed for the last minute of the Indiana game. I held both of them for the whole VCU game, and only had the baby girl through the first half of the Kansas game. I went and grabbed baby boy, and next thing you knew the comeback was on. When burke made that shot, I coudlnt help by scream, and though I tried to keep it on the inside, baby girl was startled, and woke up screaming. The wife made me give baby girl to her so the other one wouldn't wake up - but promised not to take her away from the TV. I watched the whole Florida game with both twins. My wife has already told me that if I keep them up next week that its all on me when they start screaming and wont sleep all night. I told the boss this morning if we win Saturday, I'm taking tuesday off. I may not sleep all night monday - but it would be worth it.
6 weeks 5 days ago	go blue	go burke!
6 weeks 5 days ago	Go Blue, Go Vikings	As if the final four isn't enough to be happy about, Trey went to my high school. Even better than jerseys selling like hotcakes - Columbus is pulling for Michigan now!!
7 weeks 5 days ago	Second round	Anyone updated this for the second round?
7 weeks 6 days ago	Hypothetical	If darius came back did trey go to psu?
8 weeks 1 hour ago	Great day	Let's hope big Ten keeps it up.  Touching piece on Payne right now. Love it when sports are more than just a game..
8 weeks 4 days ago	Sheer volume	As you touched on, volume makes it difficult. I'm guessing major sites don't include the functionality as it often lets the majority of people know they have little to know chance of actually winnning after the round of 32. Causes a little loss of interest for some. I find the opposite though, people care ALOT more when they know there are only 2 possible scenarios where they can win.. Suddenly whether or not middle yukon state community college beats western penn state technical college is very important.
9 weeks 2 days ago	My thoughts	I tried to peruse through the comments below, but I'm sure some of this will be rehash. Ive lived in Columbus all but the 4 years I moved away for college. I was raised a UM fan by my dad, and I have never been truly harassed when I didnt expect it (Saturday on campus). That being said, I am used to the UPS guy telling me go bucks when he drops off mail. The fve guys yelling 'Michigan Burger' when I order, etc. If you will be working in Marion, you want to live in or near Lewis Center. There are tons of rental properties if you want a house but not the commitment. I live in Delaware, but I'm literally .1 miles from Lewis Center. You probably do not want to live in the actual city of Delaware - unless you like more of a rural feel. The walmart on 23 (near powell road) signals about the end of civilization. Polaris mall is huge, and has just about eveything you need - sushi, bars, best buy, costco, capellas, etc. I live 10 minutes from there. Westerville is still a good neighborhood, but the school system is somewhat in a state of decline because some of the older parts of the city are agressively voting against school levies. The property tax rates for Westerville, Lewis Center, Worthington, and Dublin are all similar. Dublin is a little 'swankier' and is home of Muirfield. They have more rules in place about what businesses can look like, etc. You want to avoid 270 and 23N at ALL costs during rush hour, so I think you want to pass on Dublin. 23N in the morning wont be horrible. 23S is hit or miss, highly dependant on whether there has been an accident at 270 and 23. Do not pick up hitchhikers on 23N - never a good idea but Marion is most well known for its correctional facility. Compared to LA the economy is nothing, but I like it. I have a 3000 sq foot house and am by no means rich. I could never afford this house on a coast. The downside is that the only GOOD club/nightlife areas are all downtown - German Village, Arena District, or Short North. The short north is happening - lots of galleries, gay & straight bars, and independant restaraunts. North of 270 is all commercialized - applebys, BJs brewhouse, etc. Youll end up liking the reasonable people in Columbus, just be prepared to be overwhelmed by how religiously they take football on Saturdays in the fall.  IF you decide on Westerville, youll endup taking 71N to 36 and cutting over through to 23N. You can't speed there - always a cop on 36. Feel free to ask any other questions - I live right around where you probably want to live. The condo I used to live in was 10 miles away right at Polaris.
9 weeks 4 days ago	Email	Yo - If you happen to see this hit up the mods with your updated email address. I've been trying to stalk you for MGoHandmedowns :P
9 weeks 6 days ago	see ad	I see a up to 70% off ad each time mgoboard loads, not sure if everyone does. This weekend only at the main street location. I called and they said no option to have stuff shipped. If you are in AA and going, would love to pick up some sale gear. No idea what's on sale though.
10 weeks 7 hours ago	Easy	Best movie ever: Braveheart. If this counts as under the radar, idiocracy is hilarious.
10 weeks 2 days ago	Rebounding	Could this team be so good at fast breaks and transition because no one bothers to box out or rebound?
10 weeks 2 days ago	Exhausting	Watching this team squander opportunities is almost as exhausting as watching newborn twins. You know whats worse? Watching newborn twins while watching us blow leads. At least I have hope that the twins will get better - no hope for our D.

10 weeks 4 days ago	me too	posbang?   Sorry. I used up most of my creativity back when I got sleep. I got 90 minutes yesterday and missed the second half of the game, and only sort of regret it. Watching BTN replay as we speak.
10 weeks 5 days ago	baby stuff	Its a decent place to look for baby stuff. I search often, bid rarely.
11 weeks 15 hours ago	Doubleshot	Starbuck Doubleshot.  Hoping not to fall asleep holding one of the twins. If
11 weeks 3 days ago	Taylor Lewan	Taylor Lewan would like to have a word with you.
12 weeks 6 hours ago	not a fan of the art	But I'm in regardless.
12 weeks 16 hours ago	Brother in law brought	Brother in law brought chipotle earlier. My leftover subway will get me through the 3am feeding...
12 weeks 23 hours ago	No problem	Thanks for trying. I'm holding out hope I'll catch him in a live blog or something. Sorry on the slow response - thats life with newborn twins. When they sleep, you dive in bed and sleep too, otherwise you never will!
12 weeks 1 day ago	cleareyesfullhart	Any chance a mod could reach out to clearEyesFullHart and provide him with my email address? He offered to send some mgohandmedowns on my HELLO post for the twins, but I have no real way to contact him. My email is miami nemo at gmail dot com ....
12 weeks 1 day ago	MGoCraigslist	I love the idea. Maybe suggest it? The sticky ticket thread was my idea - just tried it one day, let Brian know, and the next thing I knew my google spreadsheet was getting hundreds of hits. MGoBlog is more than just sports to many of us, but I understand the OT restrictions during the season.
12 weeks 1 day ago	A fall saturday	I think this would be an excellent idea come this fall on a saturday at a bar with lots of large TVs. Then we could all sign onto the liveblog and not talk to each other. /s I like the idea, seemed alot more feasible for me 3 weeks ago! Who knows, if someone else plans, I might try and bribe the wife into letting me go.
