1 day 1 hour ago	*	noting.
1 day 1 hour ago	&	Not worth nothing.
4 weeks 1 day ago	*	It's getting better and better. When do y'all think the Hoke recruiting magic and actual coaching will begin to coalesce into a fearsome squad that will be formidable for seasons to come? I think it will be late this year/ early next year, and then....lights out.I would say earlier but the guys they value most, and take the most time to develop, are the big boys.
4 weeks 1 day ago	*	Bunting is the greatest TE recruit in the last few years. I always thought that except when I knew nothing about it, which was until recently. Let them eat cake.
4 weeks 1 day ago	*	It's early in the season. They've played 18 games. Give it a shot. The guy was your closer on an ALCS and World Series team who flamed out late last year. Closers are head case guys anyway. He's shown over long periods of time that he could master the head case situation. Name a team that doesn't have Rivera that doesn't worry about its closer.
5 weeks 1 day ago	*	Moar Bo!!!
5 weeks 2 days ago	*	Dang, well done sir! I loved the be bim bop at Steve's Lunch and I've recently re-discovered Korean food, especially Kim-Chi Jigae at several local joints in the Madison Heights area.
5 weeks 2 days ago	*	The original Buddy's, I believe, is at 6 mile and John R. and it's still there and doing great. The neighborhood is a little rough these days, but the place is always filled with cops.
5 weeks 2 days ago	*	Jet's is fine, but it's such a huge chain that they working the margins pretty thin on quality.
5 weeks 2 days ago	*	The best Detroit-style pie I've had is from Loui's (yes, that's how it's spelled) in Hazel Park. The key with any Detroit-style pizza (the original Buddy's and the original Shields also lay claim to inventing it) is the way they line the pan with cheese BEFORE they put in the dough. This way, the cheese carmelizes and burns a little into the bottom of the pizza. Also, toppings are all baked underneath the cheese. Loui's is a great family-style pizza joint with long tables and they serve their own rotgut wine in straw-lined bottles. What you may also notice is the inordinate number (even for Michigan) of obese people dining and working there. Limit yourself to a couple slices, but you will enjoy them.
5 weeks 2 days ago	*	I believe there is a Detroit Coney Island hot dog place in L.A. now that was opened by a couple of Michigan people. Apparently it is a huge success.
5 weeks 2 days ago	*	Your avatar first fooled me, and then disturbed me.
5 weeks 2 days ago	*	Yeah, and of course they like Dantonio because he brought them up from jail to at least mediocrity and even one really good season. But do they really see him as some charismatic, iconic coach that can sell recruits with his awesomeness? That's where the delusion takes hold. They are so desperate for that savior, they see it where it doesn't exist. Dantonio is a nice coach, but he's also a bitter, crusty man whose dream job is to hate Michigan from Columbus. His fallback is to hate Michigan from East Lansing.
6 weeks 3 days ago	*	For this Michigan fan, except when we are playing them, Sparty is irrelevant. For Sparty, Michigan is always relevant. This is the source and symptom of their bonkers.
6 weeks 6 days ago	*	No problem with it. Be true to your school. Bing has made a noble attempt to get the City of Detroit on its feet, at a time in his life when he really didn't need the aggravation of battling the unmitigated imbeciles on the city council and in the bureaucracy. He's a wealthy man who could be enjoying his life instead of dealing with all those headaches. Besides, he's not running again, so there is no political downside, as if he really cares at this point.
6 weeks 6 days ago	*	Oh, perfect. I love that! Thanks.
6 weeks 6 days ago	*	Sorry but this is the imaginings of some lonely douchebag "reporter" for all we know. Anyone can speculate on anything, and if there are sports agents looking to get their names in print, I think it's fair to say they would make all kinds of shit up. It might be true, but then I might leak tomorrow that I'm dating Kate Upton. Would that make the cover page of MGoBlog? Hogwash! Balderdash!
6 weeks 6 days ago	*	If anyone has that gif of Devin Gardner doing the Stank please provide here!
6 weeks 6 days ago	*	Love that avatar and nom de pleume. The dog of my life, who passed on to the rainbow bridge several years ago, was named Stella Blue.
9 weeks 9 hours ago	Fuck all that is holy
9 weeks 2 days ago	*	Beyond the first round everyone is just shooting in the dark. Years back in our pool we had a Rheesus Monkey pull a bracket and it usually finished, as one would expect, in the middle of the pack.
9 weeks 2 days ago	*	Crush the Jackasses!!!!
9 weeks 6 days ago	*	Somebody should feed that to an MSU fan board. Let them see themselves as others see them.
9 weeks 6 days ago	*	The fakey veneer of Urb should have had Ohio as Troy McClure.
10 weeks 6 days ago	*	This is puzzling to me, actually. I was an English major and considered getting an MFA in writing, but there was and continues to be a lot of controversey about the value of such a degree. Can the art of writing well be taught? I think an MFA program is fine just in the fact that it puts people in a situation where they can write, but I'm not sure anything can be taught. Mostly a writer teaches him or herself how to write by just doing it. One of the heavier criticisms of college MFA programs is that they exist primarily to harbor academics and "unsuccessful" writers (i.e. those who cannot make their living writing books). Thus it becomes a kind of echo chamber for writers who couldn't make it, an ivory tower, where in reality what young writers need to do is go out and live their lives and write, not hand over another $30,000 a year so tenured professors can have a job. No mistake, many of these profs are fine writers. But the publishing world is brutally unfair. There are great books by really good writers that never see the light of day; meanwhile, barely literate crap can become a bestseller and someone like Tom Clancy is a multi-millionaire. Don't get me wrong, I'm ecstatic that such a donation is coming back to the University. I guess if it was my money (and it it clearly isn't) I would spread it around a bit.
10 weeks 6 days ago	*	Uh, Bob Griese went to Purdue. Unless I'm missing something!
11 weeks 1 day ago	*	In the final analysis this might be as big as any recruit we brought in over the last two years. This is two 5-stars. This is huge, even if it means just one more season.
11 weeks 1 day ago	*	I would follow this man through the back alleys of Hell.
11 weeks 1 day ago	*
11 weeks 2 days ago	*	Love Kate, mostly because she represents but also because she's got those Midwestern curves and isn't some 87 pound hipless waif who more resembles an anemic 13 year old boy than a "beautiful woman." But I hope she is investing wisely because that world turns over pretty quickly, and also when that money-maker starts falling even a whole team of trainers and plastic surgeons can't prevent the coming implosion.
