Yeah this guy is a homophobe…

Yeah this guy is a homophobe and a misogynist. He’s just yelling things. Lowest common denominator bullshit. 

FYI You can test positive on…

FYI You can test positive on a PCR for up to 3 months after having Covid. It can pick up the dead virus your body is still cleaning up. Even an antigen home test is not super accurate for telling if you’re all clear. Hopefully the 10 days will be good. 
 

Just tell them you had it a couple weeks ago and they probably won’t make you test. Good luck!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you, Brian. Be well. Take care of yourself. You are loved and appreciated by more random people than you will ever know.

Haha, yeah. I’ve got the cup they gave me after surgery. It’s just chilling out in my bathroom for another month or so...

Yeah, I only had one. Right…

Yeah, I only had one. Right in the middle on the seam. Easy access to both sides  

Children are a blessing for…

Children are a blessing for some people. And a curse for others. Don’t expect your singular experience to be true for everyone else in the world. I’m happy you like your kids. But a lot of people in the world shouldn’t be having kids. I used to think I wanted them because everyone told me I should. Thankfully I figured out for myself that I would have been very unhappy as a parent. 
 

Teach people to know themselves, not just to blindly “have children”.

I got mine done end of…

I got mine done end of October. Pretty easy all in all. Minor dull pain for a week. And I’m single and 46. Still date a lot, but realized I haven’t had kids and don’t want them. Best feeling ever since. Gotta do what’s right for you. 

I’m here in Boston. Doc said to do the swimmer sample 3 mos after surgery. Is that the same advice the rest of you are getting?

I found it at Total Wine & More. Not sure if there’s one near you. But I’m in Boston.  

Henry McKenna's 10 year…

Henry McKenna's 10 year single barrel is really good. I like the complexity of it. Just won the SF spirits champ for all whiskies. Only $35 but because of that, it's hard to find at the moment.

Another really complex affordable one I like is Nikka Whisky from the Barrel. It's Japanese, and I think both Bourbon and Scotch lovers will like. Flavors just bloom out of it. One of my favs I've bought in the last few years. $65 I think.

I like Eagle, but it's got…

I like Eagle, but it's got some burn. I think it's 100 proof. So it's got some kick

Honestly, last year it…

Honestly, last year it arrived so late, I didn't feel like there was really much value to it. There was analysis everywhere else for free (incl. this here site). And that analysis was about fall camp so I felt like I was getting more current news, almost everyday. I've bought it the last few years, but probably won't this year.

And because of the time to write/edit/print/send it, doesn't it make more sense to send it out May or June? Get people hyped in the dead zone?

Why is it not playing? Or…

Why is it not playing? Or sometimes it takes forever to start?

I keep assuming it's broken. Am I missing something?

"Secure the Bag" is…

"Secure the Bag" is different at Michigan

Since we don't have nearly the level of Bagmannery that say, the SEC does, it actually makes EVEN MORE sense that our players would be skipping the last meaningless game.  Their families haven't been getting paid since Senior year of high school.

I think we should be supporting skipping even more. Or ya know, just pay the players already.

I agree, but then what you…

I agree, but then what you're saying is: This game isn't as important to us as it is to them. 

Because I think they would totally make that bargain every year.

Post mortem, man. That's…

Post mortem, man. That's what fan sites are for. If you don't like it, check out Reader's Digest

well, yeah. I mean we're a…

well, yeah. I mean we're a bunch of fans with no insight into the actual team.

EVERYTHING on this board is specious. lol.  we're all just spitballin' here. hahahaha

But yeah, who knows if it would work or not. But OSU has a passion about us that I don't see matched on our side. And that's just my single person's observation.

I don't disagree with any of…

I don't disagree with any of this. Which then leads me to what should be a better choice for all Michigan fans. FUCK Ohio State. Stop crying about the losses to them every year because we're playing a different game than them. 

Stop caring about Ohio State. But some Michigan fans will never be that introspective enough to be able to save themselves the grief.

And the administration won't ever move The Game because they too buy into the great cataclysmic rivalry every year.

We can't have it both ways: Want to beat OSU, but don't want to play their game. Either we do it our way and let them do their way, or we decide to sell our souls and play their game. It's Michigan's choice to make that decision and it always will be. 

If you lock yourself into an eternal struggle with an opponent, guess what, you can unlock yourself.

That's what he says in…

That's what he says in public. And I'm sure he very much cares about the OSU game. BUT, isn't that kind of tepid public statement exactly the kind of tepid, stay-in-your-shell football we see from M every year when we play OSU?

I agree. Ramzy's NYT quote…

I agree. Ramzy's NYT quote was really about why OSU made the rivalry so important to begin with. And that they don't want any other rivals. Just us.

First day of Lughnasadh!  I'll probably do a little harvesting, make a bonfire, sacrifice a goat, drink some beer, and have sex under the stars!  Thank you, great god Lugh!

Did Brian quit? Football Brian has left the building. Is he just so broken by football he's stopped covering it? Are we officially a basketball school now?

Thanks Seth for keeping football alive!
Tweet deleted Mom got ahead of the official announcement I guess

Lotsa love Ace

There's a bunch of us here who don't even comment or post that much, and we not only enjoy all of the content you guys create, but feel a special connection having read your writing and listened to the podcasts.

So for all the comments you get on this post, assume there's at least 5x more who read it and haven't commented, but are sending good thoughts.

You are appreciated far more than you know. Trust in that in the dark times.

Nice screen name... Angry much?

Funny, the Confederacy was the product of massive arrogance Michigan was in the Union, man. Not the home of terrorist Pickett.

Welcome to the 21st century, it's quite nice here.

You're so full of anger, it's not shocking you support the rebels. Maybe you should join Ole Miss' bandwagon.

I forgot the /s at the end. I forgot the /s at the end. But I am a little concerned that the cameras can be a distraction when our offense is already smoldering wreckage. It will be a very interesting watch in Jan 2018. I'll be curious how much insight we get into the coaches' MSU planning.
It's the documentary. He's It's the documentary. He's being filmed constantly. He watched Last Chance U and doesn't want to come off as Bad Buddy. He knows what that crap looks like on film and it ain't good. I felt like this doc was a bad idea from the start. It's too much weirdness to throw into your football team.
Usually not a fan of these. Usually not a fan of these. But give me some fun history and I'm in! Beat State!
Is it insensitive that... the only thing I noticed in the OP were the words "kill-rutgers-football" at the end of the link?
Bando. Seriously though. What Bando. Seriously though. What are your qualifications? Just that other smart people couldn't fix it so it's unfixable? At least answer the man's question if you're gonna go toe to toe with him.

Dothraki??? So, Dany has plans for the Unsullied, Dorne, and Highgarden armies. But she never mentioned what she's going to do with all those Dothraki. Any guesses? Are they just going to terrorize the interior? Maybe they're all seasick...
