This isn't even the first…

This isn't even the first time it happened to Mississippi State. I don't remember exactly how immediately the firings were, but the 2019 Egg Bowl ended with both coaches fired after an Ole Miss wide receiver pretends to be a dog and pee after a touchdown, leading to a flag and a missed game tying PAT.   The piss, the miss, the double dismiss.

I wrote in Jim Harbaugh for mayor where I live. Although if he won, it would impact his availability to focus on coaching, so maybe counterproductive. 

I'm probably the only person…

I'm probably the only person super excited for this game. Taking my fiance to her first game at the Big House and my parents also flew in for the game. My parents met at Uconn and we used to have season tickets in the 2005-2008 era (and always had basketball tix growing up).

 

But as for the game itself, yeesh. 

Beautiful. I look forward to…

Beautiful. I look forward to the Story every year. This one (like all of them) was excellent.

Personally, I hate night…

Personally, I hate night games so much. More so in person, but even still, I spend the entire day waiting, and then end up exhausted by halftime. Plus its way less acceptable to start drinking at 10am for a 7pm game on TV.

That's already the Wizard's…

That's already the Wizard's G-League team name. I'm sure the NFL team could buy it off them if they really wanted it, but it'd be another challenge to getting a team name in place.

To echo what everyone else…

To echo what everyone else has said, I think uber from New Carrolton is probably your move from Amtrak. Union Station is red line, so you'd need to metro to Gallery Place/Chinatown and catch a green line train, and even then its like a 25-30 min walk to the stadium.

Can't make it this year unfortunately, but it was a surprisingly easy uber trip last time to get to the game from downtown DC. If you can catch a car even earlier, the better.

I hope that's not what they

I hope that's not what they taught you at U of M about the First Amendment because that's definitely not what it says

Not in State College though

Supposed to get about 3 inches here last I checked. But I guess connections and stuff will be screwed up.

Super Excited

I'll be starting at Penn State in the fall. I'll get 2 Michigan games in my three years there. Wouldn't miss those for the world.

I'm 99% sure the last line of Varsity is

"We will drink beer for you, oh Varsity"

 

Or so we always sang it.

The Jets?

The Jets?

Scared

As a huge USMNT fan and an American Outlaw, I'm terrified for the cup. I think we're in trouble, and I just don't want to deal with the anti-soccer people using this as proof that America is bad as soccer. 

1-1 Ghana

0-2 Portugal

1-3 Germany.

What?!

Don't blink. Blink and you're dead. They are fast. Faster than you can believe. Don't turn your back. Don't look away. And don't blink. Good Luck.

The linked post from 2011 about Novak is great

But I especially liked the part about how Beilein is a great talent scout because of a Klay Thompson miss, a Kyle Kuric miss, a Joe Trapani miss, a Robin Benzing miss, and Hardaway, Smotcrcyz, Novak and Morgan. It just shows how much this program has grown, and how great Coach B really is. Today, his ability to identify and develop talent could begin and end with Trey (Penn State offer) and you'd buy into the hype, but add in what Tim has become now on the Knicks, what Caris has become this year, and the list goes on and on, it's just amazing.

What I wouldn't give to be in their shoes

How exciting it is to be getting ready to go off to college, let alone U of M. And I didn't even get to play football in the biggest stadium in the country. 

Knicks fans are really high on him

And apparently so is Dolan, so we might actually have a rookie that we don't try to flip with a future draft pic for the corpse of some overpaid star from 2005.

I'm a huge soccer fan

Me and a couple of my non-Michigan buddies here in DC are already thinking about flying in for this game. Love it! Just wish we could get a USMNT game though.

Happy holidays everyone

No way I'm getting anything done today. Also, If you're in the DC area, I hope I'll see you at RFD for our game tomorrow. 

The Steak, The Steak, The Steak?

It does have triple the steak.

He definitely was

Beacuse I had to explain to the 70 year old couple next to me why we had a player on the field in sweatpants. 

Not only that

It ended a 2 game streak wtihout scoring a TD (State's field goal fiesta, and whatever the hell happened in Nebraska)

I'm from East Hartford

Or there abouts. EHHS grad anyway. I'll be going. I haven't been to a UConn game in 3 years, but there's a few good tailgate spots. First off, there's in the stadium. There are different lots, and one extends down what used to be an air strip. That's where a lot of the students end up. There's also a big field across the street that was 15 or 20 bucks last time I was there. Past that, there are a few different places that are small and are hit or miss. I really like this dental clinic but it only has like 20 spots. Usually meet cool people there. 

One more thing about tickets. Uconn athletic dep. put out single game Michigan tickets last week. I have no idea if there are any left, but it was SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than stubhub. If anyone is still on the fence, might look there first.

For things to do in the area, West Hartford has been mentioned. I'll also second the basketball hall of fame. Great time. Go blue! Beat UConn. Don't throw pick sixes. 

Yeah, but still

Its based off your cable/internet provider

I'm Irish

Or half anyway. My heritage predates me going to Michigan by a long shot. I feel like these things are entirely unrelated, anyway. Just like how I don't try to yell "Go Blue" at every green car along the highway.

He had it on Thursday afternoon in Mason Hall though

Saw him leaving class and we talked for a quick second.

Not that it really matters

But the reason there were empty sections as the banner was being raised, was because they could only scan so many tickets at a time. I got in line a full hour before tip off, and got upper level seats. The student section line went out of Crisler, down the steps of the Big House, and into the parking lot. The constant stream of students entering the stands didn't stop until 10 minutes into the game. It wasn't apathy for why it was still half full. It was that too many people were trying to get in at once.

That would be after our first drive, right?

To go up 3-0 and to never look back?

Direct snaps at that

Glad to see him getting some playing time

Well yeah

Unless one of the cops had Shoelace speed, there's no way they'd catch him on foot.

Man I love Denard

Love him to death. But comon man. He's gotta shave. What is that?

Hey I tore my UCL

Me and Kenny have so much in common now! Anyone want to see my sweet scar?! No? No one? That's never worked with the ladies either.

Under no circumstances should anyone click on the 100% Worst Thing Ever label unless you want to ruin the rest of your day. Let my foolishness serve as a warning to the rest of you.

MGoSoftball:

Do you travel with the team? Where can you follow the team online (other than your awesome recaps, obviously)?

So many +5 Posts

They're everywhere! It's beautiful.

I laughed when I saw it

I mean, I get that it could be seen as not having class or being Sparty like, but it's only because they thought they should have been in this specific bowl over us and said we didn't deserve it. Had state gone 8-4 or whatever and someone made a sign dissing them I would have thought it to be idiotic, but given the specific circumstances, I think its justified.

Best of luck to him,

Hopefully we won't end up whiffing on the trio then.

My birthday!

I'm turning 21 so it's kind of a big deal. Probably press conference worthy.

The past is history, man

Chandler gets paid, and gets to play defense on a team that has offensive playmakers in STAT and Melo. He can do his thing, and they do their thing and hopefully everyone is happy. While the Knicks may have been shitty for 9 of the last 10 years, I'm sure Chandler is looking at what is, rather than what was.

I'm almost sad

Since I'm from Hartford and really wanted to see him in a game there. Was planning on wearing all my M stuff and going to watch him play. But I'm glad to hear he's lighting it up for the Rangers.

Mine:

Damn. First double.

Mine:

1.BG3

2.Honey Badger

3. Trent

That Touchdown on the Hail Mary?

That was pretty hot.

214?

214

Brandon needs to get on the phone right now

I need not remind anyone that while we are undefeated in the blue jerseys, we are a mere 2-2 in the whites. Obviously this is the only factor and it is of the utmost importance we wear blue.

They haven't beaten us since November, 2010

2009 if you count the vacated win
