Two or three are okay but all four? Nah.

I JUST watched Robin Williams playing a character named John Jacob Jingleheimer-Schmidt, mostly a cameo in the movie, To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar.

I agree.*

Breaking two rules

1. Uninformative title

2. How to post a link.

 

* Meanwhile I broke a 3d rule, simply writing "I agree."

Come, Collins. Go, Blue!

Though we can't know how the draft will play out, the fact that so many Michigan players seem likely to be drafted is a testament to them, to Harbaugh, and to the Michigan program.

It feels as if we got the…

It feels as if we got the right one in May.

I too am eager for more info but I'm happy to wait, trusting he'll do it right.

"Did You Ever Have to Make…

"Did You Ever Have to Make Up Your Mind," by the Lovin' Spoonful.

Remember that some faulted Howard for Collins leaving, and that must have been a factor. Still, sometimes it takes time to get a full perspective.

"Did you ever have to make…

What's that song? "Did you ever have to make up your mind..."

But maybe I shouldn't comment. 5 schools since high school, a dozen full-time jobs, and double that many in part-time work. Not counting volunteer part-time stuff.

As the article points out,…

As the article points out, there are two angles on the draft. Mock drafts, that's at best educated guesses, and what the GMs & coaches actually do. 

And then there's the third angle: how did players work out in the NFL.

We can do nuttin' about none of it but it's sure fun to speculate. 

So take it from me: JJ's now going 4th. No, 2nd! Hold on, he's going 1st!

I had seen the headline but hadn't read the article. Glad I read it now. Thanks for posting.

No Jeep? 

I barely see a Jeep without thinking of our instructor in MP School returning from our driving "lesson" to Fort Eisenhauer (ne' Gordon) as he stood in the lead vehicle singing a variation on the old gospel song, "Bringing in the Sheaves."

"Bringing in the Jeeps. Bringing in the Jeeps. We shall go rejoicing bringing in the Jeeps."

In other words, I'm no help. Good luck.

Go, Blue! Stay, Graham!

Talking about UM players May…

Talking about UM players May might keep, only Dug and Tarris played with confidence. A good coach like May could probably help other players. with their confidence.

Manuel.

Have I complimented you on…

Have I complimented you on your name, Mr. Querque?

Give my regards to your kin, Albu.

Cool. Thanks for the news.

“He plays quarterback the best of all the quarterbacks.”

Jim's not only old-school, he sounds old timey. As if he weren't born 60 years ago but 160 years ago.

OMG! You're right! I had…

OMG! You're right! I had never thought of it. (Thanks a LOT for making me think of it.)

Apology accepted.

I wonder if whining is…

I wonder if whining is slowly oozing out of the basketball world, or if it just seems so as prominent whiners—Izzo, Boeheim, Kryzewski—are done or on their way out.

Ah. A cool, calm analysis…

Ah. A cool, calm analysis. Indubitably enjoyable.

[Wow, is HE wound up.]

from James Hawkins article…

from James Hawkins article in the Detroit News:

“The University of Michigan has hired a phenomenal basketball coach and an even better person,” Florida Atlantic athletic director Brian White said in a statement. “In addition to his historic level of competitive success, Dusty built a world-class culture within our men’s basketball program; operating with a high level of integrity and representing our university and athletics department with dignity and class.”

With May, we may kick the…

With May, we may kick the whelm out of other Big Ten teams.

So many positive things…

So many positive things about May. I'm pumped.

And a shout-out to Howard. Though the evidence suggests he's a better pro coach than college coach, he did face a perfect storm of bad breaks this year.  

Also, I wish I'd had the nerve to express my opinion that Manuel isn't terrible. That's probably still the prevailing stereotype but I don't know that we can tell.

This is the other fun time…

This is the other fun time. The most fun is winning a championship. (Go, Blue!)

The other fun is when the coach is new, the future might be bright, and—thanks to the portal—any player might be available. Like a fantasy league for real. Sorta real.

Go, Blue! Come, May!

I forget Beilein's tournament results immediately before Michigan hired him but didn't I read yesterday that he lost in that preceding tournament?

As I commented on the Diary post, I've almost posted incorrectly too.

It is a little confusing that the two parts of the main page are Diaries and Message Board but "Create Content" refers to "Diaries" and "Forum." 

[EDIT: Mods, why IS there a difference?]
