It was a great game and the Rangers seemed like they were on the PK quite a bit. Fantastic goalkeeping on both sides. Trouba already had three penalties in this game. Carolina was the better team but their power play was ineffective...also can't believe Colorado won yesterday after being down 3-0 to Dallas.
I buy the Chardonnay. It sells for $20 but can be had for $15 at the same store I met him at. Easy to find that ( or any A2) Meijer, if you are going to the Big House. Great to serve to Spartan and Buckeye guests.
His whiskey is smooth. Charles also has pretty good Paso Robles Chardonnay, Cabernet and Red Blend under the Intercept brand.
One morning, after the lousy 2019 home loss to OSU, I was sent out to the local A2 Meijer on Zeeb Road to pick up eggs and some other stuff in the dairy section. Luckily the wine section (why is it next to dairy), Charles Woodson was in sweats helping a guy load up his wine bottles in a display. Nobody was around so we got to grumble about the state of UM football then ( seems like a million years ago) and then talk a little wine, which he got into when he was playing for the Oakland Raiders. Just a great , great passionate UM guy.
I bought a few bottles ( to go with my eggs) which he autographed and he made an awful weekend very memorable in a good way.
Also the Michigan Union sign was vandalized. Really sad behavior and doesn't help their cause.
I feel sorry for those who graduated during covid and those whose experience was marred by yesterday's protesters. Congratulations to those who did graduate and the parents who have fewer bills to pay now : ).
I'm pulling for the B's. If I'm pulling for any Canadian team it will be the amazing Zach Hyman and Edmonton ( with or without the ugly unis). Playoff hockey is the best.
That RichRod era was rough on everyone. TL and Jake Ryan were friends and both were always nice to my family regardless of the how bad things went on the field.
Its been 41 years since M undergrad graduation and 39 years since M MBA graduation and it's definitely a great time to reflect on time passage and how great A2 was/is. M Daughter is marrying M SIL in three weeks and M AI GS son is flying out to Europe tomorrow to start a summer job. Between these changes, and the transfer portal <S> , the days of old seem like a million years ago.
I will negotiate with Comcast after I see how little I will save with the loss of Bally. Tiger baseball is better on the radio. Other than the B10 Network, Netflix ( although I'm still recovering from Baby Reindeer) and a few other channels I'm ready to go back to an antenna.
Last thing I remember I was running for the portal Had to find the passage back to the place I was before "Relax", said the bag man "We are programmed to receive" You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave
Great get! Coach May seems to be the best of Coach Beilein and Deion Sanders. Even if he stops here, which he won't, Coach May has done a terrific job in a short amount of time. The Maize Rage should be something with this new influx of offensive and defensive talent and exciting style of basketball, not seen at Crisler in two years.
Chris Spielman may have been as dominant of an UM opposing player as I have ever seen and is right up there with Barry Sanders for the old timers as a most beloved Lion. He and Dan Campbell are guys you just love for their passion/ work ethic, no ego, and doing all the things the right way.
Some really bad questions from the Cleveland media but these two, well spoken, guys handled it well. Good to see Zak walking away looking healthy at the end.
Illinois receiver Isaiah Williams did not get chosen during this weekend's NFL Draft, but he has found a new home.
According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Williams is signing a free agent contract with the Detroit Lions. Williams declared for the draft despite having the opportunity to apply for a sixth year. He led the Big Ten led the Big Ten in receptions (82) and was second in receiving yards (1,055) last season.
Yup. Reports were that it was down to May and Diebler. They picked Diebler because he stopped the Chris Holtmann 17 game road losing bleeding streak ( and probably was cheaper).
Whether good luck or skill, Warde got this one right with May, and May has put together a good staff too.
Marshall's Mom (Khara Smith) is a Hall of Fame basketball player, and grandfather (Ken Norman) is a Hall of Fame basketball player who played at Illinois and in the NBA, Clippers I believe.
Well Done!! For the second consecutive season and 12th time in program history, the Michigan women's tennis team has won the Big Ten Women's Tennis Championship. The Wolverine's concluded the regular season with a 11-0 conference record and a 23-3 overall record, winning the outright title with a 4-0 win over Nebraska on Sunday.
Michigan will be the No. 1 seed in the upcoming Big Ten Tournament, which begins on Wednesday, April 24, at the Varsity Tennis Center in Ann Arbor, Mich.
Other news: Florida Atlantic transfer Alijah Martin has committed to play at Florida next season
Martin, a graduate transfer with one year of eligibility, said he committed to coach Todd Golden and the Gators over Michigan, Alabama, Arkansas, Ole Miss and USC.
My heart goes out to both of you Rendezvous and XM. I won't be going to the spring game as my family will be with my Dad at Washtenong on the 4th anniversary of my Mom's passing, which was from dementia. She really passed a few years before that when the dementia took hold . Just an awful disease for the patient and those around them. Total respect for those of you caretakers.

He's probably already enrolled at Kentucky ; )
yeah totally... you deserve to buy two... display one, drink the other. Happy Father's Day!

How about getting some bats in the line up first before we worry about NBA style jerseys?

Gach HAS committed to UM over MSU, OSU and Wisky.
It's now official. It's not Kentucky but....
Four-Star Avery Gach from Birmingham Groves has picked the Wolverines! Go Blue!!
He smartly picked UM over OSU , MSU and Wisconsin. Seems like a great kid!
We got Gach. Looking forward to the 2026 Qb recruit named Brady Hart. If anyone was destined for Ann Arbor it's this guy.

How about only day games and Haray Caray doing Cardinals games? Holy Cow!

Last thing I remember
I was running for the portal
Had to find the passage back to the place I was before
"Relax", said the bag man
"We are programmed to receive"
You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave
GW is the player to be named later and a second round draft pick in the Roddy Gayle , Jr trade.
This is what a center who can shoot looks like along with a team concept on offense...
That aspect of Coach May is more like Beilein " we had subs.. it was crazy".

We cheer for the Pro Team's clothes....

Hope Juwan is completely healthy and ready for a less stressful coaching experience. Best wishes Coach!
Realistic Michigan players for the Lions picking where the are currently? Roman Wilson
DeJean, Newton , and Coleman wont be around but would be my first choices.
Also Colson, Jenkins should be gone by then. Sainristil and Corum will be great value picks in round three.
I'm thinking they take another Alabama player edge rusher Chris Braswell.
Our Bowling and Fencing teams really need to improve ; )
