Thanks for posting. That was long, 16 minutes, and I kept meaning to click off but, between Eisen's enthusiasm and Sainristil's thoughtful answers, I kept listening.
Congratulations to Mikey on the baby. Wishing you and your partner the best.
To elaborate on what I posted on Brian's news, maybe it was my wishful thinking but Reed always seemed a better player than the results showed. I felt as if he faltered from confusion about what to do and over-zealous effort, and not because he was a bad player.
Reed to UConn? I always felt he could play better than he was playing. His mistakes seemed less about a bad player than trying too hard and confusion what to do.
I wish these young men would stop carefully considering their futures and instead just all suddenly commit to Michigan so we not-so-young men and women could stop obsessing about their decisions.
Think of the children? Nah. Think of those of us who long ago were children!
It's like assembling houses and hotels in Monopoly, trying to get an effective assortment and hoping not to lose (have to sell) any, while trying to block others from their own effective assortment.
Maybe this is all a carefully nurtured plan with the city of Evanston, to share fines from all the drivers desperate for a place to park so they park illegally.
I'm guessing the refs allow it because the TV overlords think it's "good TV"—i.e., gets more people excited watching on TV.
Fans of the asshole coach like to see "spirit" in their coach, and opposing fans get pissed off. I.e., both are excited.
It's the same thing for students acting weird. On TV, it reads as "spirit." In real life, it used to be weird but now we've been accustomed to seeing it so it seems normal.
New York was similar, except ours was like a cloudy day. I had a direct comparison because it was cloudy. Fortunately, it was lightly cloudy before so we got to see the view changing but then it was mostly cloudy.
Bonus for me, getting to spend an hour-plus hanging out with my son.

NOW what can people get upset about?
Welcome!
Hoping Enow Etta blows up, for his sake, for the sake of the team—and for crossword puzzle users.
"The reigning National Champions of college football, the Michigan Wolverines"
I love that
Black is an interesting choice for clothing. In New York City, it signals sophistication. In sports, it signals toughness.
Of course both signals have little to do with anything innate in the color but about what's fashionable.

You didn't mention that Michigan's not getting John L. Smith either.
[For those who didn't listen to today's Roundtable, that's a joke based on a flub there.]

Come on down!
Speak for yourself, poopy-face!
Blimey!

Two thoughts:
Wow! Go, Red Wings!
A promise or a threat?
[What BluCheese wrote.]
Go, Blue!
Stay, Blue!
Will we take the OP seriously? Of course not.
In their collaborative craziness, do the bucknuts refer to ichigan state?
EDIT: While Staee fans double-check to make sure they spell ""THE" correctly?
When we get a goalie you really like, do we yell "Gooooooooal!"?

OR change to a base-9 system instead of a base-10 system, and boast that Michigan was the first to 9 hockey championships.
OR simply boast that Michigan was the first to 9 hockey championships.
OR boast how many national championships Michigan has.
OR not worry about quantity and appreciate the quality of Michigan in so many fields.
Against my better judgment, I checked out the site.
In addition to content, aesthetically it's symbolically apt: everything they see is black and white, visually and conceptually, plus red for anger.

Sorry. Not pertinent, just word association.
As I understand geography, I believe Florida is on the East Coast.
But I may be wrong about that.
Without my glasses, I read "Michigan still team building on a budget" as "Michigan still team building on a burger" and thought, Here we go again....
I just met Liam Neeson the other day. (He's a good friend of a good friend of mine.) If I see him again, I'll ask him.
Did I read right, that May now has assistants from the East Coast, the Midwest, and the West Coast. Nice geographic spread.
Darn.
Not odd at all. He's on scholarship. He stays unless he wants to go.
Talent + development = maybe good
Go Blue!
While all the speculating is fun, I'm waiting—only approximately patiently—for something official from May.
Maybe this is all a carefully nurtured plan with the city of Evanston, to share fines from all the drivers desperate for a place to park so they park illegally.
Not counting on big crowds, huh?
Very cool.
Speak softly and carry a big schtick.
Fun and mostly useless info. That's my jam.
e.g., "that's my jam" = ancient slang, which had its heyday . . . "heyday" = every ancienter slang ....
So we're looking at a Ms. Blue softball player down the road? Let's see the emoji.
Thanks for posting. Considering his contributions to Michigan, I see this post as very ON topic.
Your example IS chock FULL of guff. Absolutely.

I just replied to another post above that the experience in NYC was okay but the bonus was spending time with my son.

Sorry. I…
This is guff.
Sorry. I couldn't resist using the word accurately but I don't mind the effort to enshrine Brian's mistake.
Isn't Nimrod the name of a high school team's mascot? It is—or at least was—the mascot of Watersmeet, Michigan in the Upper Peninsula.
Like Russia.
Some of us—some of I?—like Nebraska.
Keep it goin'. Go, Blue!
