and also a former player at UM. It's also widely known that Dan Dakich cannot guard him.

Pretty sure you are joking (maybe not), but this article says:

McCormick received a bachelor's degree in journalism with an emphasis in advertising and a master's degree in advertising and brand responsibility from Oregon, and is now doing "post-baccalaureate studies" at Miami.

So it doesn't look like it... I did a Google search to get some clarity and one result showed:

A postbaccalaureate program, or post-bacc program, is a degree or certificate program you can enroll in after college. These programs are typically designed to help you with the transition from undergrad to professional, graduate-level education. (source)

I got a text from a friend that said "wow the Defense got recharged on that commercial break" and I said "Mr. Brightside happened, that's all"

"For me, when we won, I…

"For me, when we won, I thought it felt anticlimactic.  And I was disappointed in myself for feeling that way. Why wasn't I happier at this moment?" 

I felt/feel this way, too. I finally watched a video my wife sent me of my 2yo daughter from before the game, but this was my first time able to hear the content. She was clapping along and sort of saying some of the words to The Victors. I texted my wife and told her I was happy I made it to Houston & that we won. However, I blamed her and the kids for muting my joy in the best way ever. It wasn't the same without them to go crazy with. That's parenthood, I guess.

Throwing my info out here…

Edit: I believe I'm set

In a world where someone with an extra ticket sees this, I hope they email me at cdycus at umich dot edu… I have had my hotel & flight booked but didn’t have enough points for a ticket.

During MNF, I wondered what Sam LaPorta's stats were at Iowa. Thanks Wikipedia for charting it for me!

Career: 46 games, 153 receptions, 1,786 yards, and 5 TDs.

This is what he's done so far with the Detroit Lions: 8 games, 43 Receptions, 434 yards, and 4 TDs. Thanks for keeping him fresh, "Coach"!

As a husband to a Boilermaker wife, I have to point out Purdue's "Breakfast Club" would most certainly be a distraction :)

Haha I clicked for the same exact reason, but didn't leave completely disappointed.

I was doing so well not…

I was doing so well not getting hype for the season too early... until that video. I then watched Ep.1 and I'm even more excited. I guess it's time to start the Michigan band pregame on the car ride to/from daycare for my daughter.

I think it's incorrect to…

I think it's incorrect to say Aidan Hutchinson lost the award and more appropriate to say that Sauce Gardner won the award. Both had great seasons and were worthy, but even this Lions blog made the argument that Sauce was the better choice.

Is this some subtle flex that you have a kenpom subscription? (mostly a joke)

My wife is a Boilermaker, so I guess I'll let her know there's a Michigan fan that appreciates Coach Painter. (definitely a joke)

That's what I get for assuming -- already vetted. Also my move ended up being one of the correct options, so a big Bluey hurray for me.

I assume vetting is going to take forever, so I'll just put in a move now in case I don't get alternate orders by the roll.

Uhhh if you cannot go, I'm happy to take 1 off your hands. I got the sorry email regarding my student ticket. Or really if anyone sees this and wants to help with my first world problem.

These are fantastic -- thank you for sharing. I personally don't follow the players on social anymore while they are still in school (and especially not recruits), so it's good to be reminded of things like this. I got so excited to see how hype they got with the crowd. Let's be these kinds of fans and not the anonymous internet troll types.

I think GoJ was talking about EA's father... not EA. Judging by the Twitters, I'd say that matches more closely.

Came here to say this and would have been disappointed if it hadn't been said already.

You seem to have feelings…

You seem to have feelings about former Michigan basketball player Anthony Wright, huh.

This isn't quite what you…

This isn't quite what you are asking for, but it would serve a dual purpose:

Zavier Simpson's Trunk

You could buy a Captain Hook shirt/hoodie/hat/poster that would directly benefit him AND then have him sign it.

Good luck in your search!

Totally dumb segment IMO…

Totally dumb segment IMO... It's something from an early BWTB podcast, though, and apparently it's stuck. I stopped watching/listening/following a while back mostly because Will is so insufferable. There is some quality content they put out, but you have to sift through a lot to find it.

I've posted once here about one of those golden nuggets and it was nuked. I'm shocked to see this thread has lasted so long.

The hosts ask if they made a trophy for a Michigan vs Nebraska yearly game... would he make it official... he said he was in if Harbaugh/Warde were in. I won't link for obvious reasons, but you can find it in the same podcast.

BTW -- these folks will also be in Michigan doing a similar format... same caveats though.

Sadly the club has felt fairly inactive due to COVID and Christian leaving. I don't remember the batman building design, though. The latest designs have had the tri-star logo like this:

I have the last shirt somewhere too. It was a guitar logo.

 

edit: found this on the FB page. I don't really remember this one even though it was 2018:

I'm glad someone else is as annoyed that "the jump" doesn’t work. 

edit: omg it's fixed.

What I'm hearing is that I need to buy the next Madden so I can create an all Michigan team and make it happen.

I played in an online "fantasy draft" style Madden league in 2020. I ended up turning Darboh into an all pro receiver.

From the article linked on that Twitter post:

Former Syracuse football coach Greg Robinson died in California on Wednesday, according to his son Dominic. He was 70 years old.

Dominic said that his father died from a form of Alzheimer’s Disease.

Yep that's the one. He was…

Yep that's the one. He was brought in under Beilein... speaking of Beilein: did you know he was never an assistant coach*?

That could play into the whole "we were sick" narrative... not that it matters (scoreboard and so forth).

This year, I met AngryDad in Cincy for game 1 (both there for Tigers/Reds) and we kept in touch every Saturday since. Except Mich St.

Same questions... to clarify: not Brandstatter/Dierdorf... I'm guessing he means the random "kid" doing play by play. Maybe a student?

I am a big fan of this video that was probably posted already here somewhere, but it's fantastic:

 

We Did It

I didn't get to enjoy the game because I kept waiting for "IT" to happen. I just today am enjoying the win as I re-watch it and watch videos like this. I'm ready for that feeling to go away.

Surely doesn't have anything to do with your username on this website. Technically, though, isn't the answer Pelinka? I am guessing you meant a former player that was also a player on the roster, though...

Could you post the link to that? My YouTube search did not go well.

YouTubeTV says I need to subscribe to FOX Nation... there is a 7 day free trial, though, so I suppose I could sign-up, watch, and cancel.

Agreed with this. I bought a 4K TV before the Wisconsin game and am very happy with it. It's been fun watching postseason baseball in 4K as well. 

In case you start to talk yourself into "oh is this really that much better?" just flip over to ABC or BTN after about an hour to see how bad that game looks.

I wake up on game day and that's all I need to be hype for a big game. It really annoys my wife because apparently very few things get me equally excited that simply.

I came for the Omar Epps gifs and left disappointed. Well done, JMo... and no one else seems to have noticed. Slick like Q.

I was sort of shocked to see this post. I checked the game when it started and Franz had hit his first shot. When I checked again at the start of the 4th Quarter, he only had 4 points. Glad to see he hit a few more buckets after that.

Yeah you assume too much…

Yeah you assume too much. Some of it comes with the territory of maintaining data from a legacy system... some of it... who knows. 

Kind of like "The Jump" and how it still doesn't work (yes, that will be the hill I die on).

How was that Julio Jones catch #15? Ridic.
