There's really only one way to convince the smooth brain 11W fans who still believe the idiotic sign-gate narrative: beat them again and again and again. And again.

Sopranos has to be in the top 5.

It was a little shady in my opinion.

Caitlin Clark = Dan Marino.  All time great (edit: not greatest) player who never won it all.

Go State!  Nope, that ain't gonna work.  Go "red" State.  Uh, still not there.

Go Wolfpack!  That will have to do.

4-peat.  I like the sound of that.  I hope we can pull off a 4-peat in another men's sport next fall.

Unfortunately, I have to work.  I mean, I'm fortunate to have a great job, but unfortunate in that I will miss the total eclipse.  I saw it in 2107, so I'm good.

We are gonna win some games with defense.  We'll be like Iowa, but waaaay better on offense.

"I like that beige sweater"

I'll take "Things I have never said" for $100 Alex.

Beat Sparty when it really matters.

Frozen Four here we come!

I was gonna make a joke about Kim Mulkey, but was beaten to the punch.

FWIW, I don't think you need to be Bobby Knight or Kim Mulkey to be a great coach.  Indeed, I suspect that the reverse is true.

Go Iowa, beat LSU.

I did not grow up in Michigan.  I have never played hockey.  But I do not understand how the greatest college ice hockey program in history does not have a women's team.

Make it happen, Santa.

Is the realization aging in your mind, or is the fine wine aging in your mind and thereby helping you to reach the appropriately lubricated realization?

Either way, I may have to decant some fine wine this evening.

Same.  Not all EVs are AWD, but the most popular version of the Model Y is AWD.  It does great in the snow and is very cheap to operate (assuming you charge at home).  Putting aside whatever you might feel about E.M., the Model Y is a great car.

Is he the son of a preacher man?

Oops.  Nevermind. Wrong Dusty. 

I'm not a fan of the royals (or the imperialist English), but Kate merely married into that dysfunctional cabal of despicable mediocrities.  She is young and strong and I hope she is able to beat the big C.

Curses! Double post.

New DL coach?

Obligatory: username checks out.  Kinda.

I will definitely be kissing an Irish woman later (my wife)!

Happy St. Paddy's Day.

P.S. The Irish prefer "Paddy" over "Patty" because they spell it St. Pádraig.

Plus, as I'm sure you know, Medved means Bear in Russian.  

Bears are ferocious, so I vote for Medved.

None of the good candidates are named Rosomakha (wolverine), just in case anyone is wondering.

Where are all of the "Fire Warde Manual" posts?  From what I've heard, every decision (or non decision) that he makes is evidence of his incompetence.  Ergo, firing Juwan must be the wrong move.

Right?

No?

Fire Warde anyway, I guess.

Jerry is still celebrating today because his Tar Heels won while Duke lost (to N.C. State! lol).

The real question is:  what is the surface area of my delicious 8" diameter blueberry pie?

Four slices would be even better.

Tight game?  Not at the end.  Damn, the ladies just smothered IU after half time.

You can never bang too much.

BTW, what is the word for "4-peat" over OSU?

Go Blue!

I know how you feel.  Football off season sucks. Maybe watch some rugby?

Someone told me that Prince Harry was a big fan of that show.

Harbaugh was born in Ohio and raised in Ann Arbor.  He went to HS in Cali, but he counts as midwesterner in my book.

And he was a pretty good QB.  I'm biased because he was the QB during my first 2 years in A2.

I think you mean "/s" because "s/" is for e-signature.

This nothingburger has me feeling a bit peckish, but I know I can't ask anyone to buy me a cheeseburger.  Heaven forfend!

I agree with those people who think you will end up hating life after a few days of snowboarding.  I tried exactly what you are proposing and failed miserably.  I was so beaten and bruised that I felt as if I'd been tortured by the KGB.

I went back to skiing (which I have been doing since LBJ was president).  

I think that mGrowOld's username does NOT check out.  By my calculations, I'm a couple years younger than our esteemed elder statesman.  Am I old??  I keep hearing that 60 is the new 50.

Anyway, I was in Connecticut at the time and found out about the game from TV news the next day.  I didn't start watching hockey until I entered Michigan as a grad student in 1985.

Seems like Wink's system requires great DBs, so I'm glad to hear we have some up-and-comers already on the roster.

Maybe the women will bail us out?  WBB - Go Blue, Beat State!

I don't know how you do it.  I could not live in the same house with an OSU fan.  I suppose I do have some friends who are OSU fans and they have slept in my guest room for one or two nights. 

That was more than enough for me.

If you are using the Nextdoor app, you have bigger problems than leaving out the word "Lacrosse" in your post title.

I hope your dad recovers quickly.

No way.  Everyone knows that Mike Vrabel is too big and intimidating to be hired by normal sized people.

I have 4 degrees from Michigan.  Before attending the greatest university on Earth, I had zero connections to the wolverine state or any midwestern state.

My earliest memory of watching Michigan football was the 1984 Holiday Bowl (M vs. BYU).  My dad (an Illinois fan) was watching the game.  I had nothing else to do, so I joined him.  At that point, I had not yet applied to Michigan.  I half-heartedly rooted for BYU.

I arrived in Ann Arbor as a graduate student in August of 1985 and spent most football Saturdays in the library, knowing that I could study without being disturbed.  I was very dismissive of all of the crazy football fans.  By the end of that season, however, I was hooked.  I bought season tickets for the next 3 seasons (from Ph.D. students with gigantic numbers of credits) and have been an obsessed Wolverine fan ever since.

Jealous! 

Not sure it would work as well here in West Virginia, though.

My experience was different.  I ordered the day of the game and got the stuff a couple weeks later.  They were transparent about the fact that it would not ship until 1/26, so when it arrived earlier, I was pleasantly surprised.

I rather support M Den than Dick's or Fanatics.

Interesting article.  Lots of detail about how FSU is getting screwed financially due to ACC corruption and incompetence.  

The other side of the story: FSU made its own bed.  I learned in law school: 

"contracts are dangerous things; that's why we keep them away from children."

I guess the JH alum-coach era is pretty much over in both football and basketball.  

At least one of them pulled down a natty on the way out.

Whoever helped 245 lb Josiah Stewart be strong enough to push the 350 lb Alabama OL into Jalen Milroe's running lane on the final play of the Rose Bowl, that is who I want as S&C coach.

Holy moly, that was an incredibly impressive display of raw power.

Me too.  Finished grad school in 1989 after 4 years in A2.  Saw JH play QB.  Chanted "Zurbrugg for Heisman" during his mop-up plays and partied after the BB natty.

Winning the 2023 football natty makes me feel young again!

A new era at Michigan.

What Moore could we ask for?

LFG:  Sherrone 〽️oore!

〽️ Go Blue!

I'm just here to continue beating the same dead horse over and over and over again.
