I didn't celebrate right away because I expecting a challenge for off-side. It was such a relief to see them at the faceoff circle.

This sounds right, but what…

This sounds right, but what about the TEs? That's what Michigan is made to do and you can't really play man, crash the ends and stop our TEs. This game is embedded in our DNA. It's what we yearn to do. Are we strong enough? We'll soon find out.

He just had awful NCAA officiating (arguably) cost him a shot at the national championship. Bad calls happen in the NFL, too, but the league has an interest in fixing those issues. I think this might be among the reasons the NFL is more appealing to some coaches.

2 score game at the half and get the ball to start the third. Against the #8 team in the country. On the road. Plenty of time left in this one but we're doing what we should be doing so far.

Was that actually competent clock management? Holy smokes!

10-0 lead. DTs holding up against Wisconsin O-Line. Mertz didn't wake up a throw god this morning. Ref crew not a factor. Lopsided time-of-possession. All things that I hoped for but didn't expect today ...

Feels like forever since M has played a first quarter without an unnecessary/dumb penalty. Great start to this one.

Actually he was OC under Helfrich at Oregon. He was a position coach under Kelly. Probably not material to your point, though ...

Better bid high, comrade! I hear the Illinois AD isn't going to let another one slip through his fingers.

I hear you, but I can't help…

I hear you, but I can't help but think that actively removing a person's name from a facility for the reasons under consideration would all but prevent any future honorific recognition like plaques and signs on campus. Renaming the arena may not equate to erasing Yost from Michigan history but it is an active and enduring statement that the man isn't worthy of recognition through plaques, signs, etc.

Bought a GMC Denali 2500…

Bought a GMC Denali 2500 last summer thinking I would use the towing capability. Got it with a family member's employee pricing. Realized that I wasn't using it so sold it last month for OVER original msrp 10 minutes after the listing went live. Ordered a Jeep truck in mid-April and it was built and at the dealer in less than three weeks. Picking it up this weekend. So made a nice profit on the GMC and will have a new Jeep Gladiator and a pile of cash. Strange times in the car market!

There were a few times during last night's game when Franz' basketball instincts really shined. I'm not a big Xs and Os basketball person and it even jumped out to me. M is lucky to have him on the team, even if he does disappear during stretches of games.

Looking forward to a complete 180 in how this game is officiated in the second half. Maybe that'll spark someone to get going offensively.

I agree completely. The information in this article was probably available earlier than now and it was held until days before a big game for click/view/media conversation/drama reasons. Maybe that's a bad read of the situation, but regardless I made no comparison between the importance of the article/topic and a football game--I just highlighted the timing of the article's release.

Of course this article is released days ahead of a high-profile football game ...

Robin Zander - Cheap Trick

Robin Zander - Cheap Trick is underappreciated. He would probably be on my list somewhere.

Timely post

We're expecting a girl, also our first, in late April. I've given up on trying to feel prepared.

Mini block-Ms everywhere

Expecting a baby girl soon - our first. My wife is an only child so her parents are crazy excited and went nuts with M gear for the baby. She'll come into the world with a stronger M wardrobe game than I have as an alum! Thinking of baby names that start with "M" so everything will be monogrammed for the little one.

I don't think those words mean what you think they mean.

Officiating did decide the game. Get that spot correct and the game is over with a specific outcome. One play later, OSU scored, causing an incorrect outcome. It is true that Ohio State had to execute on the final play, but officiating incorrectly decided that the game was not over with that spot.

Not sour grapes--I accept the outcome. But it's not accurate to say officiating didn't create the opportunity for that outcome when there should not have been opportunity.

Deck weight capacity?

I don't have any sense of the capacities at play, but is there any concern about your deck's ability to support the weight needed to stabilize the crane, plus the crane, plus you and all your friends, plus the video crew being demanded by the MGoCommunity?

Michigan-centric view

Harbaugh allowing the team's aggressive approach on offense to extend to 4th downs.
