Try the Holiday Inn Express in Brighton. It is right on US-23, so it would be an easy drive in.

I didn't go to school with…

I didn't go to school with any but I did play against as couple. When I was in high school, our biggest rival was Brighton (MI). My freshman year their QB was Drew Henson. Still to this day, he was the best high school QB I have seen.

My senior year, again against Brighton, I played Morgan Trent (before he went to Orchard Lake St. Mary's). By far the fastest guy I ever played.

I saw C.J. play, in person, last season against Dexter (game also featured current freshman Cole Cabana) and he was not impressive. He had a live arm but his accuracy was off and he was not able to throw his receivers open against mediocre DB play. Also, most throws were underneath with only a hand full of throws down field, none of which were on target. 

By contrast, Cabana looked good. He had that type of speed that you just felt he could explode and take it to the house any time he touched the ball. I hope he gets a chance to play early.

I'm going to Berlin at the end of September to run the Marathon. Going to be in Berlin about a week then we're heading to Munich for Oktoberfest!

What's the best way to get to Munich? I really kind of want to rent a car just so I can drive on the Autobahn. But, I'm think train might be the way to go.

I coach my son's 11u team. We are a higher level travel team, which I think makes it worse. Some of the parents I have come across are nuts. Luckily, all of our parents are pretty level headed and get it. They let us coach and stay off of the umps for the most part. 

We as a staff do make it a point to remind the boys (and parents) that the umps are human and make mistakes. We need to control what we can control and not let the things we can't control affect the other parts of our game.

 

Anderson, Wilson & Carter…

 

Anderson, Wilson & Carter were all off the board in this scenario, so I traded with the eagles for the 10th & 30th picks, then traded back again w/ NE for picks 14 & 46 giving me 5 picks in the top 55. 

I actually think there is a…

I actually think there is a decent chance that we leap Georgia. The committee clearly has an SEC bias, so my feeling is that they will want to give Georgia the easier matchup. Assuming all 4 of UGA, UM, TCU & USC win, TCU looks like the weakest of the 4. I could see the committee putting UM at 1 to give UGA the matchup against TCU rather than a USC offense that can be scary good at times.

Best Bourbon for the $$ - I have to go with Evan Williams Single Barrel. You could say Weller Special Reserve, but finding that for MSRP ($22-$23) is near impossible.

Most Underrated Bourbon - Widow Jane 10 year. For being a barrel proof, it is so smooth.

Most Overhyped - Elmer T. Lee. It's a single barrel w/ the same mashbill as Blanton's but is 2-3x more expensive then Blanton's, secondary.

I helped on his High School staff. He's a good kid. On the field, he has a good motor and has a good football mind. Needs to work on technique but what high school player doesn't.

I am taking my 9 year old as well. I wrapped a bowl of oranges and have it to him as his last gift.

I got to watch M commit Tay…

I got to watch M commit Tay'Shawn Trent from field level last night! My takeaway is that he is a big body receiver that can run and out jump most guys on 50/50 balls. He looked raw but if the coaching staff can develop him, he is going to be a problem at the next level.

Eagle Eye is a great course. I would also look into Eagle Crest, which is Eastern's home course.

Those were worn by the baseball team 2 years ago when they made their run to the CWS. They were going to give them to season tick holders last year but I'm not sure they ever did b/c season ticket money was refunded due to the pandemic.

I try to do the same thing and buy something new every year. This year it was my new Scotty!

Just paid mine yesterday. I can't bring myself to give them up. At least it's not the Rich Rod/Brady Hoke era anymore!

We’ve gone to Punta Cana the last 3 years and are going back again this year. We stay at the Grand Bavaro Princess resorts and it’s fantastic! The Bavaro stretch of beach is the cleanest and nicest in Punta Cana. I highly recommend it! You’ll have a great time!

Difference is, in years past that Achilles heel was exposed in the weeks leading up to “The Game”. This year both the offense and defense have been playing exceptional football leading into this week and have shored up those early season weaknesses. 
 

30-21 Good guys!

With Sparty coming to town this week, I would guess they are going to bring a few of these in to melt the snow!

I have season tickets in section 37. Haven't heard a "down in front" from anyone yet! In fact, at the Notre Dame game, I'm pretty sure not a single person in the stadium sat down the entire game. I know section 37 didn't!

"What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”

I can confirm, the Sparti Parti does indeed contain the authentic tears of Mork Dantoni!

I have ZERO faith that Avila could ever pull this team out of obscurity! He has proven to do nothing but trade off any player with any ability to hit or throw a baseball for the cast off dead weight of everyone else's farm system. And Chris Illitch does not have the passion for the game that his father had! He is basically baseball's version of the Ford family. As long as the cash is rolling in, who care if the team sucks!

It makes a B1G difference if whatever you're watching was shot in 4K. Otherwise the TV is upscaling from 1080P (or whatever resolution it was shot in) to 4K and the quality depends on how good of a processor chip it has. I bought a Sony X900F last year. With their X1 processor chip, the picture quality is honestly just shy of OLED and it was a third of the price!

I think I noticed something similar on the Norte Dame, Michigan St. & Ohio St. tickets but I’ll need to see a picture of the barcodes to be sure!

This gives me hope that mine will also be patiently waiting for me in my mailbox when I get home!
