19 hours 4 min ago	Ravens beat the heck out of	Ravens beat the heck out of receiving a, uh, package from Theon these days. If you must send a Raven, please make it the kicker as he's the only one that I both outweigh and outheight.  If you send Haloti Ngata I might jump out a window to get away.
20 hours 12 min ago	Always found these	Always found these interesting.  I take it you have to go through Brian to snag their emails and then hope they respond?  Or is there some super secret private messaging system on here we plebians don't know about?
6 days 20 hours ago	That's my biggest worry	And most bars use satellite as well, so parking myself at a bar probably won't really help.  Missing a bunch of a Cup finals game would suck. Of course, the really big disaster is if there's a massive power outage.  I'm sure United Center has backup generators, but I'd assume it wouldn't be enough to run everything necessary for a Stanley Cup game?

1 week 4 days ago	This guy has put together a	This guy has put together a list of various online beer stores that ship, you can figure out who ships to Georgia:  http://onlinebeerstores.homestead.com/ If you're looking for Michigan beer, naturally you're going to want a store from the Midwest to maximize your options.  The Party Source is in Kentucky just over the river from Cincy and has Bells, Founders, Dark Horse, etc.  No idea what the shipping will be (beer is heavy!) but they do ship to Georgia.

1 week 5 days ago	He still does	But the brewery where he was having it contract brewed was foreclosed on/bankrupt.  So he's looking for another brewery in Michigan to brew it for him now.  Problem is, it's hard to find someone with enough excess capacity to do that.  I know he wants to keep it in Michigan but he may have to settle for the general Midwest -- there are a few breweries in Wisconsin that contract brew as well as one on the south side of Chicago (that one might not be big enough though).
4 weeks 19 hours ago	The Lions Bowl will be played	The Lions Bowl will be played with nothing but receivers and defensive linemen, the team with the most stupid penalties gets bonus points, and the coaches are each given one free challenge on an unchallengeable play.  Oh, and whichever team has the most arrests on the season gets the ball to start both halves, while the other team gets the Marty Mornhinweg Memorial Wind Advantage in the dome.
5 weeks 3 days ago	Smart?	What exactly is a defensive minded team down their best player and former MVP of the league, their 3rd best guy who was an allstar this year, and a third starter supposed to do (not to mention their second best guy playing on a gimpy foot)? They have to play physical and try to take Miami off their game because on talent this series should be a joke. On talent this should have been an easy sweep. Hell, on talent the Bulls should have probably been gone in 5 or 6 in the first round given their injuries. Comparing them to the Bad Boys is even more ridiculous. Isiah is a HOFer and they weren't decimated with injury. Bad Boys won titles.
5 weeks 3 days ago	We also have a Director of	We also have a Director of Player Personnel, Chris Singletary, which is probably what Hondo is talking about MSU not having.  Singletary's bio starts "Former Wolverine linebacker Chris Singletary is in his sixth season as the recruiting coordinator with the Michigan football program. He handles all of the team's recruiting efforts, both on-campus and out in the community."
6 weeks 18 hours ago	CFL names	There is the Chicago Rush in the arena league. But clearly this team should be the Roughriders or Rough Riders.
6 weeks 6 days ago	SI/Lewan	Even goofier, they said Lewan could have potentially gone number 1, and then rank him behind the guy who was aTm's right tackle last year because Joeckel was apparently better.
7 weeks 3 days ago	Good	Only following online and wondered with them taking Ace Sanders already if they might be thinking of Denard as a running back. I honestly think it's a better fit for him than WR and a spot where he should be able to do some things quickly. Easier to teach him blocking than all the nuances of route running, and lord knows he can explode through the hole.
8 weeks 1 day ago	Basketball schedule	Regardless of what you want, it's either going to be a weird divisionless schedule where the schedules are totally random as to your one-plays (i.e., just like now except there will be more teams you only play once), or it will be divisions where you play all your division teams twice and everyone in the other division once.  An upside of the latter: two games every year with Indiana, Ohio State and MSU, and only once a year are we subjected to the soulcrushing Wisconsin basketball experience.
8 weeks 4 days ago	We might still be behind VT	We might still be behind VT for Hand at the moment but that gap seemed to be wider a few months ago, and there's a lot of time left for Michigan to convince him.  Of course, that also means there's time for others to convince him, but he's been a sought-after guy for a good while and seems like he's already done a lot of the winnowing.
9 weeks 12 hours ago	Just in case anyone was	Just in case anyone was wondering why people rip on ESPN's football recruiting rankings, Luginbill posted their top 10 WRs today (paywalled) and there isn't a single guy from outside the SEC footprint.  5 from FL, 3 from LA, 1 from MS and 1 from TX.
9 weeks 15 hours ago	Another 6'5" lefthander named	Another 6'5" lefthander named Hill?  I'm assuming no relation to Rich given the spread in time, but a weird coincidence if he's not related.
10 weeks 3 days ago	Woo	Trey's shooting was for shit but he was great at everything else. He was the primary guy on MCW in causing his awful night, he dished fine and also hit the boards. That's what a great player does. And yeah, McGary was awesome again and I really hope he stays even if we win Monday.
10 weeks 3 days ago	This	The entry pass into the high post isn't trivial. IU had a bunch of turnovers against Syracuse on that kind of pass.
10 weeks 3 days ago	Better matchup	Burke should be a lot better with guys his height in the backcourt instead of the huge Syracuse guards. Although Burke's D on MCW was some of his best all year. Oddly although Louisville is clearly more talented than Wichita, WSU might have been a worse matchup. They're the monster rebounding tough D with shooters type we struggled with and we really didn't have any way to match up with Early, who was a beast.

11 weeks 2 days ago	Yeah, it's got to be GR3 on	Yeah, it's got to be GR3 on Murphy.  We don't want McGary pulled from the middle when shots are going up, he needs to be on Young so he's in there for the boards.
11 weeks 4 days ago	Seth Davis retweeted a guy	Seth Davis retweeted a guy who suggested that during those video reviews the players have to stand in the middle of the court so it isn't a free timeout.  They really do need to do something about this, because this is two nights in a row where a team without a timeout got a free one to plan their last play.  Of course, neither Arizona nor Kansas converted, but still, it should be easy to fix for next year.
