I started the Sainristil…

I started the Sainristil appreciation thread, so it should come as no surprise that Speed Kills is my choice here. While I love the slow play development of Loveland's route running with 2 fake handoffs, and CJ's early TD celebration, the ground Sainristil makes up on Stover to break up that key 3rd down pass is just NFL-level remarkable. My jaw (and entire body) dropped to the ground when he did that. It happened in slow motion. Still can't believe it. Play of the game. Frames of the game.

This, exactly this. I…

This, exactly this. I admittedly criticized the first playcall for Mullings - no reason to run that play to a new back in a critical situation for the first time all year - and then to not convert? Oof...

But the second he started to throw, it all clicked in my head. Our coaches were playing chess. They set that up perfectly, and it was executed (almost) perfectly.

Biggest RPS win in M history that I can remember. A++++

Agreed. I have a feeling we'll see quite a few of those on both sides of the ball. Opposite of every other game this year (many positive, but low leverage plays adding up to a huge total), this game was many neutral or negative plays, surrounded by quite a few huge impact / high leverage ones. Those deserve +3s/+4s IMO.

(Saying this as a City supporter) I think switching in Eriksen for Pogba was the best thing y'all could have done. I'm really upset that Eriksen didn't stay at Brentford too because he's one of my favorite players to root for.

Should be a competitive season!

Definitely doesn't ruin the league, as long as you're checking your lineup weekly and doing your best to stay in it! There's a great overview of rules on the FPL site, and a google search will help you find strategic advice as well.

FPL is probably the best way to learn the ins and outs of the league (and the international footballing world) IMO. And it's just really fun + gives you rooting interest if you don't already have a team.

Need 1 more player for the draft league to make it a nice even number (for the head-to-head).

I totally feel everything you said. It really is such an entertaining league, and no hate on how you chose Wolves either! They're a super fun squad with a great coach and fanbase. We Americans have to pick a team somehow.

As far as rules & scoring, you can visit here for all rules & FAQs (for the normal league). Seems like a lot, but I promise you'll pick it up quick, especially if you watch the matches.

Forgot to mention - no buy in for the time being. Maybe next year if we have enough interested players though.

Love the participation. If anyone playing has questions about the rules, I'll try my best to answer.

Play Boards

This is a perfect opportunity to ask something I've always been curious about. How do those play boards work in terms of play calling for other teams? Anyone know?

So you know, these threads

So you know, these threads are apprciated. Trying to get more involved in soccer and figuring out the various schedules is the hardest part. So thanks!

O.o

I work in music management, so I feel compelled to drop in here.

Favorite band is Animal Collective. If you haven't listened to their new album Painting With, definitely give it a try (not for everyone, but damn it's good).

Also check out Mutemath's new album Vitals, Houndmouth's Little Neon Limelight, and this up-and-coming R&B singer Alina Baraz's Urban Flora.

Michigan in Texas

Moving to Austin in a week. How's the michigan scene down there? I saw Pluckers as the michigan bar, good place?

Agreed on St. Lucia, they're an incredible band based in NYC. Kind of a mix of m83 & Passion Pit. Just saw them a few weeks ago in Michigan and they put on a hell of a performance too.

Their entire When The Night album is fantastic.

Switch Gardner back to WR, start the Morris era early. Problem solved.

Yes...

And it surprisingly isn't the most racist city in South Florida. That would be the wonderful city of Davie where I went to high school. You can actually pretend you're in Texas in the 1800s. Not that I'd recommend this, I got the hell out of there ASAP.

Kudos, BHGP!

Don't worry, I did.

You should do your research.

You should do your research. Weed isn't bad for you. Recent studies have shown that it doesn't kill brain cells as many have assumed, it only slows them temporarily. It may have a long term effect on memory, but no significant results have been found.

Additionally, other research has found no significant effect on your lungs or respiratory function. In fact, those that smoke weed often show better lung capacity because of their practice of inhaling larger amounts of air.

There is no comparison between cigarettes and weed. Weed is only psychologically addictive and are without withdrawal symptoms if one decides to "quit" (of course they may be sad that they can't get high anymore, but you could say the same about chocolate).

Just my factual 2 cents.

It's still true. I don't

It's still true. I don't think you understood my point. The law is great and all (and by that I mean stupid), but some people that disapprove of smoking weed often overlook the fact that underage drinking is illegal too. That's all.

You sir have absolutely no

Double Post

You sir have absolutely no

You sir have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Students at the University of Michigan are some of the friendliest to weed in the country, and yet we maintain our extremely high ranking and continue on to be active and non-worthless members of society.

Smoking weed does not equal worthless.

Being worthless may often result in smoking weed.

Correlation does not equal causation, blah blah blah.

P.S. Read over your posts. Your spelling is awful. Perhaps that's how you can determine someone is "worthless."

I'm all for following the

I'm all for following the law. I'm only commenting on the general acceptance of underage drinking compared to the disapproval smoking of weed. Especially when often the only argument for those who disapprove of smoking weed is that it's illegal. Underage drinking is illegal too but that's OK when you're in college, right?

Drinking underage is

Drinking underage is "illegal," and most of the team is underage. You think even half of the underage football players at Michigan don't drink?

Not arguing your point about DB, just saying that they can actually get in more legal trouble for drinking underage (MIP, other illegal actions that being drunk can cause) than smoking weed ($25 fine, slap on wrist).

Most of them participate in an illegal activity or another, some are just more acceptable than others as your comment suggests.

I knew about Carlton transferring from a trusted source but I couldn't say anything. I did not, however, know anything about Colton or Evan. I'm very disappointed...

EDIT: Ah, totally misread that. I thought you meant for us to play Slippery Rock in the Big House.

A friend of mine who's there posted a picture of the stadium. The upper deck is half empty.

Oh my god

This is so annoying. They're over-emphasizing and exaggerating EVERYTHING. It's not that exciting, announcer guys. Chill.

I get nervous too...

Re-watched the end probably 10+ times now and I still get nervous. I'm afriad that Posey actually caught the pass and went in for a TD, and that it put me into a coma in which I dream he didn't and we won. It's believable because I nearly did pass out when that ball was in the air.

I also still get furious at the refs for the overturn. The end is, and always will be happy though!
