Two Ann Arbor eateries:

1.  When I was a freshman/sophomore in 1977-1978, I lived in Cousins and delivered pizzas for Omega Pizza.  You could get a plain cheese pizza with extra crust and extra sauce delivered for $3.95.  I still remember the cheapskates who would order a $3.95 pizza delivered, give me $4.00 and wait for the nickel in change.  Good pizza nonetheless.

2.  Also when in AA during that time I fondly remember the Parthenon Restaurant at the corner of Liberty and Main.  I had never had an gyro until I went to college and to this day, I have yet to find one as good as I got at the Parthenon.

I was at the Illinois game…

I was at the Illinois game yesterday and Rutgers last Wednesday.  They will definitely check you vaccination card (a photograph on your phone will do) and require you to wear a mask unless actively eating or drinking.  During timeouts they walk the stairs and ask people who aren't wearing masks to put one on.

I don't recall them asking me to show my driver's license to verify it was my vaccination card but was certainly prepared to do so.

We'll be fine.  I hope.

Welcome to the family!  Go Blue!

Las Sendas

Last year I played Las Sendas in Mesa with my son.  It was very nicely maintained, reasonably priced, and definitely had that desert golf feel that we were look for.

My Best Friend From High School

I graduated from high school in 1977. One of my best friends came to U of M with me. About 6 weeks into our freshman year, she decided to transfer to MSU. Her transfer simultaneously increased the IQ of both MSU and U of M.

No

IMO, grad transfers are great at certain positions but not offensive line. With all the injuries that happen on the o-line, good players wouldn't transfer. Anyone on the 2 deep is too valuable to let go and anyone below that isn't worth a scholarship.

Tequilla helps

On my third drink and I'm less nauseous.

Home side of stadium

I know someone else suggested the visitor's side, but having sat in various locations, I really prefer the home side of the field.  There is nothing more exciting than hearing the band play the M Fanfare.  Plus, the sun won't be in your eyes.

Who gives a rat's ass

Who gives a rat's ass what Spartan fans have to say about anything?

They looked exhausted at the end of both halves.

I don't know when the team started practicing for the Europe trip, but this team has been playing basketball games since August.  I hope they make the NIT because they are so much fun to watch, but if they don't, they deserve some time off.

Almost correct

If you win your conference tournament, you get the conference's automatic bid.

Oakland, or any other NFL

Oakland, or any other NFL team for that matter, doesn't need SF's permission to talk to JH now that they have agreed to part ways. My guess, however, is that SF only agreed to part ways with the explicit agreement that Harbaugh not coach in the NFL next season.

Time to Buckle Up?

Is it time?

Hear! Hear!

I have watched several local and national news reports about the protest.  All focus on two things:

1.  The fact that we are 2-3.

2.  The concussion and the way it was handled. 

While I agree that it is hard to imagine how the athletic department could have handled this worse, for most of us, that was just the straw that broke the camel's back.

 

Fire Brandon

and let his successor hire the new coach.

In my opinion, Hoke is over his head and for whatever reason, can seem to turn this team around, but I don't believe he would knowingly put a player's health in jeopardy.

Brandon has tried to commercialize the department and ducked responsibility whenever challenged.  He is poisoning the system and needs to go first.

Waiting for this report seems like an old SNL line

Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead

Last year MSU at Crisler

Trey picks Appling's pocket to take the lead and then steals the pass on the next possession to seal the game.

Oh well.

I know that in recruiting finishing anything other than first with a recruit doesn't matter, but I am happy that this coaching staff/program could give him something to think about after coming to the party so late. It suggests to me that we will start winning more of these battles moving forward.

Minnesota

Sucks to be Minny.

perspective

Last year we had to go through Kansas and Florida to get to the Final Four. Although we could have had an easier path, I believe in Beilein and his ability to get his teams ready if he has the time. Go Blue!

I predict that

Couches will burn either way.

Playing with house money now!

Great win for the boys.

Sell Out?

All fall, all we heard was how embarrassing it was that the students were arriving until midway through the 1st quarter. They have announce at least twice that this is a sell out crowd but there are so many empty seats in the lower bowl it looks like a scrimmage. The only place where there are no empty seats is the student section.

Earlier McGary screen

IIRC, McGary set a screen earlier in the game that also resulted in a VCU kid losing his teeth.  Does anyone have a gif of that?

 

I'm having the same problem.

I have to scroll though about 7 old entries dating back to July 2009. 

Does anyone know how to delete them or reorder all the posts chronologically?

Irene's Cuisine

Irene's Cuisine on Saint Phillips Street. Best meal I've ever had.

Congratulations

Remember when going 8-4 was considered a bad year? That was the reality when Lloyd Carr was our coach. Last year we were happy to get to seven wins. There is nothing wrong with wanting the perfection that we experienced in the national championship year but we didn't always do a good job of appreciating what we had-a clean, winning program that turned out outstanding young men. I am not a RR basher but we have to return to some of the glory we experienced under Lloyd.
