is still with the men's bathroom situation on the upper level NE side of the stadium.  Rediculous lines and waiting.  Expand the restroom, the real-estate is right there, upsize the pipes and lets get back to watching some football!

Secondary grievance is the Bavarian pretzels on the west side of the stadium are an order of magnitude more pleasing than the dry hard trash served on the east side.  Can we just single-source Bavarian Pretzels (???) lol

Non-football players and individuals who lack a proper football IQ who make going to the best damn sporting venue in the nation almost unbearable! No you do not want to score on every single offensive play. The fade is not to be thrown every play. & Just because you are a rockstar at Madden or NCAA 14 on pop-warner level does not mean you know the damn sport! Shut up so the rest of us can actually enjoy the game without want to commit a homicide!

Call up Jim and tell them all these things. He’s a former player, he’s got access to get into contact with him. Also, Toomer’s records at UM:

9-0-3
8-4
8-4
9-4

really piss me off.

"I was takin' my pride in the pleasures I'd known
I laughed and thought I'd be forgiven
But my laughter turned 'round eyes blazing and
Said my friend, we're holdin' a wedding
I buried my face but it spoke once again
The night to the day we're a bindin'
And now the dark air is like fire on my skin
And even the moonlight is blinding"

I wish the misery of Festivus to one and all...

It was August of 2015 and it was the maiden voyage of the Harbaugh submarine. An "open" practice for a few hundred students , myself and a dozen other Event Team Members were charged with keeping cell phone use squelched --no tweets, pics, periscoping, etc. So I hussled home after it to make it seem like I had insider info in my post that Ace was not privy to. Who were the first five OLineman, which db had the height to guard Butt, would Gedeon have a breakout year, and...RuDDock had the best arm of the day! I might not have been the first with that extra D but that Saturday everyone was so starved for football news that the hordes on the board that day lambasted and mocked me to no end. My defense...Jim doesn't release rosters and practice jerseys don't have names, and JJ Reddick, Chronicles of Riddick, Theo Riddick, go fetch me that mattock boy! Please forgive me.

all they do is discourage great athletes at both the college and pro level from making great plays. If you catch the ball, turn, and stretch out for the goal line, you've controlled the ball sufficiently to demonstrate a catch. 

"Survive the ground." Jeebus. It's a catch, not the Titanic.

That's a catch. But not in the NFL. I'm a Steelers fan and the rule is frustrating but it is the rule. The Steelers lost that game because Roethlisberger threw a dumb interception. I used to hate the catch rule but appreciate the clarity it brings in these cases. I can't think of a better rule that would lead to less angst. If there is something out there better, them I'm sure we'd all be for it.

In a few select universes within the multiverse, OSU has never beat Michigan. Why can't I exist in one of those? Also: -Potty training -People sharing obvious fake articles on Facebook -People that think "the Media" is a single, collective, evil corporation that's hellbent on feeding you FAKE NEWS -Dickheads who ride your ass and eventually pass you, only to wind up a car length or two in front of you -People with literally NOTHING better to do, other than to troll a sports blog. Get a fucking life. -People who say "cuck", "LIT", and "DILLY DILLY"

Student: I’m wondering why the university hasn’t placed a moratorium on the football program, due to CTE (Chronic traumatic encephalopathy – brain damage). There are about twenty professional players with CTE, and I think the players shouldn’t be at risk of it. We should be protecting our players from those types of injuries that lead to CTE.

...

President Schlissel: Football is part of our culture, it’s a significant part of our culture, everywhere we go. We aren’t afraid to do it because of philanthropy. We are trying to understand the risk and ways to minimize that risk.

Tired of the idea that a poster is automatically a "troll" if they post any discontent about our 2017 class. Maybe stargazers are annoying, but do people realize how many blue chips it takes to win a national title? Oklahoma has probably the lowest number of these players, but they're the exception with a Heisman winner at QB. Then, when you mention Mayfield, people say "Well he was a walk-on at Texas Tech." Okay then! Instead of trying to bring in high ceiling QB recruits, we should take under-the-radar kids with no offers. When we take a low three star, someone goes and lists all of the recent 3 stars who became great players. What about all the ones who didn't work out? We can pull hard for every kid who decides to come here while still be disappointed in the class.

The idea that you cannot show any discontent is lame. Clearly, we would all be ecstatic if we hauled in the nation's number one class, so the notion that rankings are irrelevant is fantasy. We care and we should care about them. That is not to say we should cry that the sky is falling either.
