Thursday Night Open Thread
Boring night here at the justingoblue-cave; megangoblue is gone and I'm left to my own devices, which currently means Soprano reruns, frozen pizza and some Tanqueray. With no Wings, no MBB or hockey, I'm assuming I'm not the only person sitting around bored tonight. What's everyone else up to?
February 9th, 2012 at 10:59 PM ^
Not much my friend. Drinking some Coors Light and watching Party Down on Netflix. Great show.
February 9th, 2012 at 11:35 PM ^
Are we having fun yet?!
February 9th, 2012 at 11:02 PM ^
Is this a good thread to ask about Kozan, Diggs, etc.?
February 9th, 2012 at 11:03 PM ^
It's an open thread, so it's good for whatever. IIRC, Digg's decides tomorrow night from a list that doesn't include M, and...I have no idea about Kozan, though.
February 9th, 2012 at 11:30 PM ^
I was joking but thanks for the update.
February 9th, 2012 at 11:32 PM ^
I'll blame it on either Tony Soprano, the pizza or the gin. Anything works for me, so you just decide which is more realistic.
February 9th, 2012 at 11:05 PM ^
In Cincinnati for 3 weeks for work. Mgobloggers from around here know some good places to hang out? I'm downtown near the Great American ball park
February 10th, 2012 at 12:11 AM ^
Don't remember names though.
February 9th, 2012 at 11:08 PM ^
Taxicab Confessions on HBO, always interesting and strange.
February 9th, 2012 at 11:18 PM ^
Copious amounts of Spanish 232 homework. Just a few more months and I'm done with the foreign language requirement.
February 9th, 2012 at 11:52 PM ^
Just finished my 232 homework. Can't wait to be done with this damn language requirement.
February 9th, 2012 at 11:26 PM ^
Pizza, Soprano's reruns (best written show of all time IMO) and a good drink. thats a great night! but i am old with small children so maybe im just beaten down....
February 9th, 2012 at 11:34 PM ^
I probably should appreciate nights like this more, but I do envy the people at the bar down the street drinking overpriced beer and sweating in an overcrowded room.
February 10th, 2012 at 12:41 AM ^
Maybe they're angry about your slur on Bud, PBR and other quality American domestics. [drinks directly from beer pitcher]
February 10th, 2012 at 3:05 AM ^
If that's the case, I'll have to correct myself. Twenty-five cent Miller Lights, so they were in no way overpriced. By the way, megangoblue is taking some music appreciation class for gened requirements, and I tell her to ask you every time she doesn't know. She just laughs, though...
February 10th, 2012 at 2:35 AM ^
I haven't given anything (or anyone) an automatic +1 or -1, but I'm gonna go ahead and institute an auto +1 policy for all things Omar.
February 10th, 2012 at 5:18 PM ^
Thank you kindly sir. It was also my point to contend that The Wire is the best written show of all time but I digress.
February 9th, 2012 at 11:35 PM ^
Up with my 6 week old who got a cold from his 5 year old sister. Drinking some awesome brews that I have acquired through beer trading and putzing around on the internet. Looking forward to another early morning at the office, yeah tax season!!
February 9th, 2012 at 11:40 PM ^
Live it.
February 9th, 2012 at 11:46 PM ^
Getting geared up for a coaching clinic in Novi tomorrow. Hopefully there isn't any lilttle brother drama at this one...
February 9th, 2012 at 11:48 PM ^
Just got back from Ashley's and now I'm watching OKC. Westbrook is tearing it up.
February 9th, 2012 at 11:58 PM ^
Yeah, I had to rewind on the 'ole DVR to watch his dunk a few times. I live in OKC actually. Unfortuately, I haven't been able to go to any games this year yet. Love me some Thunder.
February 9th, 2012 at 11:51 PM ^
I just returned from a coaches clinic in Novi and listened to MSU LB coach Mike Tressel talk about the 4-3 and their blitz package. I'm telling you....I'm impressed with how well coached the State D is. They have simple philosophies and rules and the players they recruit know them well. They're gonna be tough to beat. They are fundamentally sound. They attack the line of scrimmage and they take their responsibilities seriously.
After watching a bunch of clips (which included a heavy dose of plays from the Michigan game), I can almost understand why Borges tried to throw the ball so much. Their front 7 is stout. I assume Borges knew that and felt like he had to loosen them up.
They're a gap control D and use the safeties in a unique way.
We'll have our hands full again this season. Make no mistake about that.

Finished all my homework so now watching Baseball IQ on my DVR. Great show for baseball fans.

February 10th, 2012 at 12:06 AM ^
police earlier. But pretty much hookah and NHL 12 tonight.
February 10th, 2012 at 12:34 AM ^
Sitting here, on extremely extended vacation in Michigan from California (which means helping my mom on the farm). Drinking copious amounts of red wine and working on a new song. Pretty much the Michigan Difference personified.
February 10th, 2012 at 12:39 AM ^
With a decent pair of headphones. More work tomorrow, more e-mails to write, the usual.
February 10th, 2012 at 1:20 AM ^
I'm at home with my GIRLFRIEND. My GIRLFRIEND and I are just watching some movies. Isn't having a GIRLFRIEND so awesome? Man, I just love having a... oh who am I kidding?
February 10th, 2012 at 2:00 AM ^
At 3:07 PM, my auto-refresh loaded Brian's 80 lb. trophy onto my screen.
At 3:07:12 PM, my hipster employee interrupted my stunned, silent, happy place with: "She's hot. Have you seen The Video?"
Having been cold-busted violating my own rules, I reminded him that we shouldn't be distracting ourselves with the internet, but if The Video wasn't indecent, well...let's take a look.
I can't look away long enough to figure out how to embed, so here it is--it's Ms. Upton, which hopefully gives it the SFW benefit of the doubt (if not, i wish you buenas noches from Bolivian. . .where the internet hopefully supports youtube).

Check out my blog! Don't. It's not good, yet. I'll figure the ol' interwebs out some day. Until then, blog that sucks that you click and go to out of pity. It sucks, but I think I'm funny and I want you to think so as well. /shameless advertisement /fuck hashtags, where I come from that's a pound sign

There are a bunch of big names visiting this weekend. Some posters on the 247Wolverine message board are speculating that we might get a commit or two this weekend. Specifically from Chris Fox (high 4 star o-line) and Jaron Dukes (not ranked but probably low 4 star wr).

Spent part of Thursday nite at a watering hole in GR for happy hour, then the remainder watching college hoops and reading UM memes.
