I played a lot of pickup basketball in college and badly sprained both ankles. This has been a great gift to me: they're so loose that they're impossible to resprain, and their flexibility is amazing for playing virtuoso things on the organ pedals. So you've got that going for you!

I for one enjoy reading random thoughts that strangers have about Michigan football

Wow the band played the…

Wow the band played the Victors a LOT slower back then. If we extrapolate, we can safely assume that in 1898, it took the better part of a quarter just to get through one complete rendition.

I feel like, and I could be…

I feel like, and I could be wrong here, that this quote doesn't come to bear on this particular situation.

In 1996 people looked at you funny when you threatened them with a bad Google review.

I just noticed (I must have…

I just noticed (I must have missed some discussion on this) that MSU and OSU are no longer both home or both away. That was a stupid Brandon error that took forever to undo.

No no not crushed. Gently…

No no not crushed. Gently but firmly beaten.

Just a friendly reminder…

Just a friendly reminder that referring to Legends and Leaders in any way, shape or form was specifically forbidden by an Act of Congress due to the inevitable associations with certain persons (not named here) and may very well qualify as a crime against humanity in certain jurisdictions.

I disagree. They are good…

I disagree. They are good. We are better.

Actually it is just an…

Actually it is just an average MSU fan who has been consoling themselves with the cheating fallacy and now is facing the unpleasant reality that Michigan was and is winning because they are very, very good.

I didn't realize how much I…

I didn't realize how much I depended on the snowflakes threads until tonight

The ultimate answer to this…

The ultimate answer to this cheating nonsense. 

We don't play that game. We…

We don't play that game. We recognize that it is decidedly odd to deface our own stuff in a lame attempt to get our rival's attention.

It's so weird because he had…

It's so weird because he had success for so long. It's like, what changed?

What? Just ... God... No!…

What? Just ... God... No! Why would you say that?

Just stop! Stop. 

Just stop! Stop. 

If I were any college…

If I were any college athlete I would immediately reject this. Why take a one time deal instead of a multi year contract? 

I gotta say, without access…

I gotta say, without access to any hard data, this does not feel like a dominant year for the big 10.

Believe it or not,…

Believe it or not, commercials on Fox are usually 2:30. ESPN will occasionally throw in a 3:00.

This is an astoundingly…

This is an astoundingly frank confession.

Look, the Mgoblog Executive…

Look, the Mgoblog Executive Committee debated this for many years and finally decided on the following legally binding statement: "RR was a bad cultural fit BUT he wasn't given the support nor the time he needed and the cupboard was relatively but not completely bare; Hoke was a good cultural fit however in over his head, BUT he was hamstrung by a truly disastrous AD." We used to abbreviate this as RWABCFBHWGTSNTTHNATCWRBNCBHWAGCFHIOHHBHWHBATDA. But this got a bit cumbersome so now we just say "chipple." Make a note of it, it's a real time saver.

Never say that again. Never!

Never say that again. Never!

Wow, my brother, enjoy the…

Wow, my brother, enjoy the win!

Give that coach a large extension, please!

Yeah that Kenneth Grant play needs more shout-out for sure.

Nice write up thanks

Anyone else wanna puke hearing that godawful "I wanna live forever" big10 commercial?

Ok we all appreciate the effort but that's not really getting the intended message across.

Well now I think we should give him the benefit of the doubt. I mean, there isn't conclusive proof that he knew! Certainly he wouldn't expect anyone to punish him without an investigation.

Perfect analogy

You know, it's like "the role of Brünnhilde in tonight's production of Götterdämmerung is being played tonight by Kirsten Flagstad" kind of ovation.

Growing up, I assumed that that style of coaching was timeless: the true and correct way to educate. It turns out it was true and correct for that particular generation of kids. But it isn't timeless, and its efficacy for other generations is ... limited.

Did you see that video where someone figured out who the real shark intercourser was and brought them to meet Jim McElwain? Sort of ruined our fun.

The legend of Lion Cakes may well be coming to pass. The way of the Lions into the Super Bowl will be paved with Honolulu Blue cupcakes topped with Mountain Dew-infused whipped cream. Be watchful and keep your ovens trimmed and burning.

This may not directly come to bear on the contest today but did you know that Jim McElwain was conclusively shown to NOT be a shark ... uh ... enthusiast? https://footballscoop.com/news/video-the-infamous-jim-mcelwain-shark-case-has-been-cracked

Also interesting that the new interim football head coach's bio has listed a non existent master's for years.

Amazing organ (actually several) in the Michaeliskirche Hamburg plus CPE Bach's grave, can't go wrong with that. Then Katherinenkirche and Jakobikirche. Yes I have a one track mind.

When I was at Northwestern…

When I was at Northwestern in the early 90s, this type of power play/sexual hazing was par for the course in the fraternities. At no time did any of my peers question whether hazing should happen, it was accepted as an unavoidable part of that culture. If you didn't like it, you didn't pledge.

Kids today are not afraid to question things like this. We were idiots, they are not. I think Fitz didn't adjust. He'll have a good amount of free time to reflect on this.
