Wow… I wasn’t sure where Raj…

Wow… I wasn’t sure where Raj was heading… but that entire article hinged hilariously on those three little words, “crimson and cream”.  Wonderful.  That was some M. Night Shyamalan type stuff. 

This is exactly my issue……

This is exactly my issue… but all the replies above help.  Thanks all.  I don’t know if I have Prime Music or Apple Music, but I know how to browse to YouTube.  I am so freaking old.

I thought this was a post…

I thought this was a post about Ted Lasso.  (I am a moron.)

Purple face Brian Kelly is…

Purple face Brian Kelly is my favorite person to watch lose.  Also, did anyone else feel like he looks like he has aged like 10 years since we last saw him?

Thanks everyone.  Great…

Thanks everyone.  Great ideas, and a bunch of places I haven’t been... the sarcastic replies are hilarious.  

For those that asked; there is only four of us headed out.

FYI: The photograph of the…

FYI: The photograph of the Southfield office towers does not show the pick up location of 27777 Franklin Rd.

Not a hoops expert...

...but MAAR seems WAY more dialed in on defense than Poole.

Watch it again; pretty sure

Watch it again; pretty sure he was.

Counter Intuitive?

Why would it be counter intuitive to learn that the closer the defender, the worse the shooting percentage? Isn’t it completely intuitive and the entire point of playing defense in the first place?

The point is moot.

Would love to see either of these guys on the Lions.

My favorite Roundtree...

...moment was the .gif of him and Shoelace dancing at an M hoops game.

With all due respect Mr. Yost,

It is Dr. Seaver.

I like that he called out Marcus Hall

Byesman vs. Epic Double Bird of the Week.

Funny.

Right back at you trueblue.

Plus one for you my friend!

Plus one for you my friend! I can't believe I missed that!

Not sure that it's "dumb" to

Not sure that it's "dumb" to give Brian a shout out every once in a while on the board... But you are probably right, I just did a quick review of your recent posts and "smart" is the only word that comes to mind.

I may be a brown noser...

...but I am happy to report that I have never kissed John Navarre!

This. ^^^^

Refs should be calling penalties with simple objective criteria (unlike the mystery of Targeting in the college game). Then a panel should be reviewing all head to head plays during the week to dole out fines and suspensions.

And on 4th and 1...

Moeller was a mad man and never gets enough credit for his offensive genius.

Thank you.

You raise an important point. ;)

My wife and I are actually...

...trying to get pregnant now, and have a Christmas vacation scheduled on Key Largo and Marco Island. Are you suggesting that we change plans?

Home alone...

...would be my preference by far. Usually end up at home with the mgowife and mgokids though. I try to keep a strict "no talking policy", but the glorious silence (besides the broadcast) rarely lasts for more than a minute or two.

"Save the baby humans."

Not trying to be political here... The bumper sticker just has great irony.

Henson

His nickname was "Super" Drew Henson back in those days. He was a jounior; I was a senior. I guarded him all game, and I'm not sure what he ended up with but it had to be around 30. Yes, basketball, by FAR his third best sport. I probably scored six or eight. We won in OT though. Go Mustangs! (Northville)

Riccardo Legacy

John Riccardo (the deceased) was truly an amazing man.

His priorities were extraordinarily clear and straightforward:

1. God
2. Family (wife first, kids second, others third)
3. Work
4. Michigan

That said, he was a HUGE Michigan Man and worked extremely hard to rise to the top of one of the world's largest companies. Think about what that must mean from a capacity standpoint... I am always amazed when I learn about (and even more so, when I interact with) people who are able to produce SO much more than me, across so many facets of life. Not like 20% more, I am talking like 20 times more!

Who?

Mr. Plow?

Congrats!

Also, congrats! Fatherhood is awesome.

Given the possibility that you may be having a daughter, and you probably wouldn't want her objectified by all your "friends" on the Internet, my advice as a new parent would be to change your avatar.

Best Gift Ever

Regarding the set that StephenR showed above: My wife bought this exact set for my birthday a number of years back. The kids and I get it out each year for a couple of weeks at Christmas. One of my favorite gifts of all time. It's very old timey, but putting the iPhones down and playing with it is a real joy.

Thank you and...

...I am sorry that you are stuck in East Lansing. I should have been more clear wrt Rudock. I was thinking specifically of his injury from Saturday's game (I am up to speed on the regression from last year, horrible deep ball injury theory). Specific to the helmut ripping hit, the reporter's question above seemed to indicate that he (we?) had already been told that it was shoulder related, not a concussion, and that's he's expected back as early as next week. When did this news come out? (because I am picking it up here (in the Monday presser) for the first time)

Where can I find any thing from Harbaugh...

...or the program in general from post game? Two subjects seem to be understood by others (but not by me) prior to this presser that I have not seen here on the board, on the main page, or anywhere else for that matter, namely: Rudock's is a shoulder problem and Shane being officially behind Wilton on the depth chart.

This .gif is...

...what the refs should use to define targeting. Makes me so freaking angry.

Edit: Whoops! NOT this .gif! The Rudock one above.

Thank you...

...for your calming comments. I am now over it.

I don't understand...

...what is going on when people confidently and clearly state something that is simply wrong which can very easily be verified as incorrect.

He said, "wouldn't". It is super clear in the video.

This. Is. Awesome.

I love that we have this guy... I honestly find our punting plays to be some of the most exciting this season.  As good as our defense is... when Blake can pin the opponents's deep... it just positions us so well for so many things, e.g. safeties, panicky opposing QBs, opportunities for Peppers to field returnable punts, short fields for our offense, etc.  

Finger Guns!!!

Bang, bang, Mgobloggers. Bang, freaking, bang. Harbaugh.

I smell something unknown to mankind.

Friday is...

...my favorite day of the week.

(Except in the fall, in the fall, Saturday is my favorite day of the week.)

Go Blue!

Harbaugh!!!

Should be...

...an exciting second half. Things started to get a little heated after the bullshit Bedoya no call.

Alvarado

Was humiliated on that goal... Seriously, he might have stayed out too long partying or something last night... That was PATHETIC.

Wonderful news Cactus!!!

Both my mom and wife are / were teachers and both have found it to be an extremely rewarding career! Welcome to The D, so many good things are happening here; the region is definitely on the upswing... Great M-loving teachers moving to the area is just another sign of great things to come.

Saw Brian today...

... at the AFC Ann Arbor soccer game, and after introducing myself, I honestly had to take a deep breath to collect my composure before thanking him for all the work he's put into the site. I know this sounds super cheesy/insecure... But I spend significant portions of time on here every day, and then there was Brian just chilling with a friend taking in the game. I owe this man so much of my happiness!

PS - I hope my six kids didn't annoy the hell out of you and your buddy!

Health Update

Great post Ace. Thank you as always for your thorough work. Would you mind giving us an update on your health? My family and I have been remembering you in our prayers for months and it has been a while since I've seen anything. Obviously, I hope, as all MGoUsers do, that you are feeling better and better each day!!!  And if there has been some recent update that I've missed, I apologize to Ace and the Board for wasting everyone's time!

Wait... Is Dakich transferring?

Somehow I thought I read at some point that Dakich was transferring? I remember being sad about there being no more awesome cheer/dancing after big makes.

Thank you!

Those lines are great.  I can so vividly picture him saying each one of them.  RIP Bo; you are missed! 

My GOODNESS!

I never post either, but have been LOVING Ace's giff'ing of Dakich these last few weeks... And while I've never heard of the referenced movies, this Dackich - Dance Movie mash-up is one of the highlights of my life. Thank you, OP.

Jake Ryan

Ryan's tracking Minnesota sweep where he just manhandles the blocker like rag doll and crumples the ball carrier like a middle-schooler is just great... can't wait to have that guy back!

That is almost...

...exactly what I was thinking... hilarious.  My thought was, "Sweet, now I am going to have to skip out of work early... all because I can no longer use my brain... all because of that AWESOME FREAKING VIDEO!"

Congrats!
