Ban on hiring recruits' family members

Is no one going to comment on the very first amendment? I feel like it's addressing us specifically. It says: In football, during a two-year period before a prospective student-athlete's anticipated enrollment and a two-year period after the prospective student-athlete's actual enrollment, an institution shall not employ (or enter into a contract for future employment with) an individual associated with the prospective student-athlete in any athletics department noncoaching staff position or in a strength and conditioning staff position.

 

Jim Harbaugh has hired multiple people associated with recruits in the past few years. In fact, it almost seems like an intentional pattern, to be frank. I would actually be in favor of banning the hiring of family members of recruits, but I think it's ridiculous that this would also hinder college teams from hiring the most successful HS FB coaches because it would hurt their chances with any of the HS FB players that played under them.

Amen!

Amen!

You shouldn't

You shouldn't and neither should he.


Vegas Bookies

"your favorite fancy-stats analysts will still put out equivalent point-based ratings because it’s their job to help you give less of your money to the Vegas bookies."

 

I think the key to giving less money to Vegas bookies is to not give money to Vegas in the first place.

Half-Life is awesome

I love the Half-Life 2 prison/Dennison comparison. It's perfect!

In fact, they are currently renovating Dennison hall and they've renamed the building to Weiser Hall. I'm betting that the building will still have tiny windows in 80% of the classrooms, but hey, they tried.

Free country, yes

It's a free country, yes, but households are still run as duumvirate dictatorships.

I think

We're clogging up space here by debating one vs multiple threads. I think we should make a thread to discuss whether polls should each have their own thread or not. What do you guys think? Is a making a separate thread to discuss how many poll threads to make worthwhile?

/S

This right here

This right here sums them up completely in the years that I've been following them.

I'm new

I'm new to MGoBlog, but one constant in basically every thread across the entire website is East German Judge posting the same last line, haha.

The oracle

The oracle has spoken.

Awesome avatar

Y'all got anymore of them football games?

Well you see

His parents opened a bank account for him and starting filling it with MGoPoints from birth onwards. They never really put that much in, but the power of COMPOUND INTEREST does some magic wonders and ta-da: easiest one million points ever in the history of points.

Amen

Amen, Baby Fishmouth.

Does he drink milk?

What kind? This is very important.

Sounds about right, haha

You really cracked me up with this.

He had to

@WindyCityBlue, the reason that CK sat down during our beloved anthem was bascially to force you and I to have this conversation. A respected friend, professor, and preacher told me that after getting his drivers license he was stopped by police 15 times in the span of 3 years and never ticketed once. That basically means #1- that he was absolutely unequivocally innocent every time and #2- that he was stopped "on a hunch" or because of the way that he or his car looked. This was in St. Paul, Minnesota, where Philando Castile (RIP), who's was that one of his two taillights was broken, was shot and killed during a police stop.

I can tell you with certainty that the police in Ann Arbor don't do this and maybe that police in your local town don't either, but there are certainly many districts where police stop people for "looking suspicious" all the time and then presume them to be criminals by default. See this show from John Oliver: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUdHIatS36A

Great quotations

What a cool piece of history. Posters like you is why I love MGoBlog and Michigan so much.

Mammals stick together

Awesome idea

Awesome idea. Captain Butt and Captain Worm (the -ley of Wormley intentionally left out)!

Generally differentiating leaders from the rest of a team too much (especially with headgear) can lead to cohesion problems, but I think hats that say "Captain Butt" and "Captain Worm" are simultaneously hilarious and self-depreciating enough not to have that problem.

 

My predictions

UM Points: Under 51

Total yards: Under 630

Forced Turnovers: Under 5

Touchdown passes: Exactly 4

Leading rusher: Over 96 yards

Yards per play: Over 8.2

Yards per carry: Over 5.4

Longest kickoff return: Over 47

Pass completion: Under 70%

Opposing pass completion: Under 50%

Hahaha

Perfect sentiment.

Aren't

Aren't most posts on this website (and the internet in general) either bland "I agree's" or critiques of some kind?

Was he critical? Yes. Are you being critical right now? Yes. Are the five posts currently above and below yours critical of him? Yes. Am I being critical right now? Also yes. This is basically the bread and butter of the internet.

What lady

What lady are we referring to here? Help me out. I'm new to MGoBlog, the internet, and even (see username) the world.

The culture here

The culture around here perfectly summed up:


"The punishment

"The punishment continued, and he embraced the pain, took it into himself, and judged it insignificant, impatient for the pain to cease." - The Wheel of Time.

My feelings exactly.

If I had upvoting priviledges, you would get one for this comment.

I do believe

I do believe that you said "writing writing" when you meant to say "writer writing" in your first post. As to your point, it does make sense.

Remind me

Remind me to come back here on November 26th and post a reply with at least 10 exclamation marks!

Also, despite being a fan of MGoBlog for years, this is my first comment. Somebody pass me some of that upvote drug that everyone seems to be hooked on!
