Agreed. I had a chance to explore North Cascades last September while on a last-minute trip to Seattle. Surprisingly accessible via 20 and worth every second of the view. Also paired that with a sunset cruise along Chuckanut Drive (beautiful views of the bay) to grab dinner in Bellingham. Next time I'm in PNW, I'm heading back.
I think even if we lose to Florida, we've got plenty of time to gain momentum heading into the teeth of our schedule. That's the only one I'm really okay with losing, if any.
That's me! Brought the markers and sign into the stadium. Made it on the spot. Got heckled relentlessly by drunk Tiger fans. Good game... was hoping for a little more chaos though!!
Headed to the ACC title game in Orlando this weekend to root for chaos... tix right now are $8 and dropping. It's becoming a virtual guarantee that I will spend more on one beer than the cost of entry.
I was thinking this too. Although, considering his limited contributions to the university, I don't see why they wouldn't grant his transfer release to another school in the Big Ten.
It looks like it picks up the major broadcast networks (abc, nbc, etc).
Does it just take the local affiliates based on your location? Trying to anticipate and plan for football season in South Florida... UM shouldn't be an issue. The Lions? Doubtful.
I hope to find out how many coney dogs I can eat at the Grand Tavern in Delray Beach. It's been far too long and I look forward to spending fall Saturdays in the midst of expat Michiganders once again.
I bought a few adidas shirts for cheap back in July. Interestingly enough, my yellow Michigan lacrosse shirt is perfectly cut, very comfortable, and now my go-to shirt for lifting slightly heavy things. And it was $5, so I already feel like I won.
Hoping for a few Nike shirts that are similar. /following
I thought the intro video was incredibly well done. It gave me goosebumps.
I had low expectations for Sklar. I can't imagine the level of difficulty to MC an event with so many moving pieces and a large digital audience. I would've loved to hear more from Harbaugh, but Sklar did well.
The event was unique and fun. Tough to poke holes in something that nobody's doing.
I'm in the camp to retain him for another year. My biggest concern, however, is the Lions ability to not finish games after jumping out to big leads. They need to figure that out in 2016.
And as others have said, a great GM hire is the priority.
So that's a thought. Because we don't play Minnesota in 2016, 2018, or 2019, would a win in the B1G Championship during those years be for the Little Brown Jug?
Relaxed environment. 200+ beers... and all comped if you're gambling. It's all video machines, making it easy to play slowly (as I did while waiting to catch a shuttle to the airport). All in all, a great opportunity to try new beers while losing a negligible amount of money.
Played UF last weekend (Palm Beach Atlantic), noticed a few things:
1. Florida doesn't slide to the ball well. For example, I had a 8 yard time-and-room and turned it into a dip and dunk on the crease because their wasn't any help defense. This was the read we got from our scouting report from their Miami game as well.
2. We locked Billy Buch and then threw a zone at them and it worked pretty well. Buch is the catalyst for their offense and after we made a personnel change we neutralized him pretty well. I will be interested to see how Michigan defends him; UF has the ability to spread the points around with Casselli, Salo, etc, but he is definitely the initiator.
3. Our FOGO was about 65% against their faceoff men, so the ability for Michigan to control possession is there. Also, their wing play was not great.
4. Young and fast would be a decent way to describe their team. I was pretty surprised how mistake-prone their offense was. Florida threw away lots of passes, and like I said, we utilized a zone with defensive pressure that was less-than-normal.
Michigan/Florida should be a great game regardless. I think the Gators are getting there as a program, but I don't see the killer instinct nor the standard of excellence that I do when I see Michigan.

Wow! I had no idea this was still a service. Even now, seems like a relic of a bygone era.
I only see one since Aubrey Solomon... it's freshman DB Owen Goldsberry, which processed yesterday.

I pray the alternate jersey is just a white top, maize pants, and that's it. And that they keep it all year.

Thank you for the reminder. It can't come soon enough.
Tough to beat this Chris Perry authentic from the Citrus Bowl on ebay... http://www.ebay.com/itm/2002-CHRIS-PERRY-MICHIGAN-CITRUS-BOWL-NIKE-USED-WORN-ISSUED-JERSEY-/401237365720?hash=item5d6b9c53d8:g:DNoAAOSw5cNYIRJQ
Cosign on Yardbird. Great little spot on Lenox.
Also for OP: If you're into "art", hit up Wynwood. It's trendy graffiti meets meets a little bit of high-end retail.
I love me a ton of Ton Brady.

63-10 Michigan. Chad Tough.
West Palm Beach, here. Yes, all good vibes sent this way please!
27-21, Michigan.
48-14 Michigan.
49-0, UM.
Is it possible that they already dilute the Big 12 with their current compete-level?
Thanks for making this week's seemingly predictable punt/counterpunt a little less predictable. Well written.
45-10, Michigan. 33-20 Paramus.

Somebody had a bad day at the office.

What is this? A field for ants?
Great stuff. Thanks for the embed.
That Minnesota #4 reminds me of the new Michigan #4.
D2: The Mighty Ducks. No question.

Would absolutely travel to Vegas for that once-per-decade away game to watch the Lions and Raiders bludgeon each other... provided it's a night game.
I'm not one for negotiating with terrorists, but this would be amazing.
Welp. Wasn't expecting that.
Hoping for O'Korn. But if Speight wins, it means he has really improved, which I will also take.
Love it. If there's anything to help get us through to football season, I'll take it in a winning baseball team.
I saw "MOO U" but completely missed "Ped St."
Upon taking another look, I have now laughed at the same page on two separate occasions. Thank you.

It's great to be
YASSSSSSSS.
It's great to be a Michigan Wolverine!
Agreed. I think Rodman had a higher ceiling while Wallace was a key cog in a great team.
That was incredibly written and very informative. Thanks for the embed.

This is brilliant. Thanks for the tip.
