But..but..I thought this wasn't possible??
Why the hell didn't this happen when it was -30 wind chill my freshman year???
Kids these days. They have it so easy. (Insert pissed off old man face)...except I'm only 25
January 27th, 2014 at 7:49 PM ^
Because of the Schlissel effect. Sorry, it's science.

Back in my day, I walked 15 miles to my classes through 8 feet of snow. While being chased by a rabid polar bear. And by golly, I made it to every one 10 minutes early. Damned kids are so pampered these days.

6th year here at Michigan and the news is totally stunning. Hooray!
January 27th, 2014 at 7:46 PM ^
One thing I thought of today was we spend way too little time enjoying victories and way too much time wallowing in defeats. I swear we get a huge win and then 48 hours later start fretting and worrying again. After a huge loss we sit around this year blog and mope for weeks and weeks and create constant topics titled "When will Michigan be elite again?"
Let's savor these three wins a little more. A run unheard of at Michigan and not seen nationally for decades.
We humbled those cocky MSU bastards on their home court without our lottery-pick center. They are sad and still whining over at RCMB now.
Wisconsin is still trying to figure out why that one time we didn't get a foul called on us when we breathed on That Other Gumpy Looking White Guy Who Plays For Wisconsin.
Iowa thought they were going to validate their greatness by beating us with their super-duper speed but ended up being slowed down by Beilein's gloriously slow and efficient gameplan
Look how sad you are Tom
POSBANG ME. Everyone else sucks and we are awesome - untied atop the best conference in the country. BANG BANG BANG
January 28th, 2014 at 8:19 AM ^
But I will have to "Postbang" you, since it's a Postbang thread.
It's so true, wallowing around in your sorrow and not being happy long enough. We should take a cue from the Spartans, who I believe are going to drag that Rose Bowl win into at least October...

Aw man! I'm so jealous! You guys get a snow day and it's not even supposed to get above 72 here this week. Way to rub it in, guys!

I'm kind of digging this cold for some reason. I think it's pretty awesome. It's like, fugging COLD, man, but still pretty cool.

Hey we didn't make the decision.
January 27th, 2014 at 7:58 PM ^
Old UnkleBuck is beyond sick of this crap-ass weather. I travel a lot with work, needless to say its raised the stress level a bit. But the recent Sparty weekend beatdown (hockey, wrestling, bball) has more than made up for it.
January 27th, 2014 at 8:02 PM ^
Never happened in my time here, or my lifetime apparently.
Enjoy!
January 27th, 2014 at 8:04 PM ^
Back in my day...
Aw, who am I kidding, this is awesome, you guys.
January 27th, 2014 at 8:14 PM ^
January 27th, 2014 at 9:17 PM ^
This adds exactly nothing to your comment but I felt the need for snark.
January 27th, 2014 at 8:15 PM ^

Yeah.

I had to get my ass into the office to sling W-2's and 1099's.
Posbang my ass, dammit.

God bless the snow day. One of the wonderful perks of working in higher education.

Bunch of babies around here. Boo hoo, -30 degrees. This how people roll in NYC.
/s
Honestly, best of luck to everyone tomorrow. Those sound like absolutely terrifying temperatures.

The last cold spell we had, it was colder here than on Mars.
Mars.

Which is weird, cuz, like, it's not even snowing right now. You'd think if there was ever a time to break the 40-year-old snowday drought, it would've been during the Snowmaggedon at the beginning of the semester that left a bunch of students unable to get to campus.
January 27th, 2014 at 9:48 PM ^
Shhhh... don't tell me who wins.
January 27th, 2014 at 10:15 PM ^
And then MSU publicly announced that they are having class tomorrow and reminded students that 10-15 minutes of exposure to the wind chill could create frost bite.
Is it wrong to laugh?
January 27th, 2014 at 10:25 PM ^
At a time when it would've made sense for us to do so too.
So, eh. One for one.
January 28th, 2014 at 12:15 AM ^

Well... nothing cancelled tomorrow, but living in México and on vacations... I guess I can live with it....

How about some pos bang love for me hauling my ass to work in sub zero temps?
January 28th, 2014 at 12:02 AM ^
Not only do I have to trudge my frozen ass to the bus at 8AM in order to teach, I just got the old "it's-not-you-it's-me" routine completely out of nowhere in a freaking text message.
Need a posbang real bad here, you guys. This winter sucks.
