The people JJ will need to prove anything to will be his future teammates and coaches. He will do that during his first training camp. Look at his history - Everyone not named Cade LOVED playing with him, even if it just involved being in the same locker room. The NFL is more mercenary, of course, but it's still a game played by a bunch of guys. JJ will be fine and a long-term asset to the team lucky enough to draft him. Draft day opinions are a pretty cheap yardstick to measure anything with.
The ‘hit job’ wasn’t a complete failure. Apart from forcing Michigan fans from enduring dump trucks of made-up manure from rival fans, they did encourage Jim to pull the trigger on going back to the NFL. I remain convinced that getting Jim to move on from the College Experience was the primary objective. Nothing else explains the obsessive persecution by the NCAA and B1G. Fuck ‘em all.
“ We impose this penalty on Michigan to demonstrate we still mean business here at the NCAA and because Michigan was the only big name school willing to go along with us. In addition to the cited punishments and probations, Michigan will send us a video of their administration writing our motto 500 times on a chalkboard:
‘ We get our cut of the money pie before the universities and especially the athletes ‘ “
May the NCAA soon find out what particular circle of hell they will be bound for.
Now, this year, it seems like X (formally Twitter) is requiring you to have an account with them to follow Spenser, Holly, et. Al. And enjoy enjoyable repartee concerning dollar amounts and Michigan’s Money Cannon. Any one have another way to follow the excitement without giving a scrap of anything to Elon?
At least people want to kick the tires on the new regime. I’m guessing that, if nothing else, May has a charisma which connects with younger people. Hope it can prove fruitful heading into a transition year where any success will look good.
Don’t leave the Fords off that list. While they aren’t as malignant as the others you mentioned, they’ve demonstrated staying power in the field of incompetence.
Plus, he has the experience of stepping away from a fading Patriots team and electrifying the Bucs to a Super Bowl win at, what, 43 years old? Gotta give him credit for believing in himself. Can’t give him credit for knowing to leave well enough alone, though.
Caitlin, to me, is more like what Arnold Palmer was to golf. When Palmer got out of the Coast Guard and started playing golf as a pro, the PGA was kind of a sideshow in the sporting world. Don’t get me wrong, it was respected by those who knew golf and they (obviously) had superbly talented athletes (Ben Hogan says ‘Hi’), but it lacked mass appeal. Along come this utterly American golfer (Palmer, that is) who is brash, swaggering and had a photogenic flair for drama on the new mass media of TV. If the interest in NCAA WBB is sustained, Caitlin will have accomplished what Arnold did, but we won’t know that for a while and those are some mighty big Foot Joys to fill.
Caitlin is a generational player, much like Curry, but we’ll see. Watching them head to head, I might prefer to build a franchise around Cardoso (ignoring the PR/Marketing that Clark brings to a gypsy business like the WNBA).
SCTV was the funniest show on TV in the 70's, which is no shame for SNL at that time. SNL spent a lot of time searching for edginess in their skits, but SCTV was laser focused on just being funny. RIP, Joe.
I was thinking along the lines of nuking them, as the first 12 seconds of a nuclear blast is probably the worst, but I like you comparison better. Maybe if I had actually seen the movie...
If you want big German War Wagon luxury, consider purchasing a used unit. They all will have lower ground clearance (skip the aero dams on the front!) than you might find useful on the farm, but they can surely honk on down the road. I drove a used BMW 750 LXi for the better part of a decade and it was unstoppable and undaunted by Michigan Winters (lower penninsula version). I had the twin turbo V8 and loved it's highway performance. It got 22-23 mpg on I-75 doing 80+, so finding a diesel verson may not be that critical. Buying used for a part time car makes sense, you'll be able to buy a lot of tanks of gas for what you save going in.
In summary, it was a good handling bullet train on paved roads and quiet as a church inside. you'll like it.
130 miles, to be exact. Here’s a thought: 63,500 ft of elevation change = 11.93 mi. Divide that by 2, since only half that is uphill. That makes the average uphill grade over the race would be (approximately) 6.0/65.0, since half the race would be uphill and the other half would be downhill. That makes the average grade 8.8%! That seems impossible, so my first thought is what’s wrong with my math?
Probably not named after Sir Charles. Maybe if they put donuts out on the course instead of pages from books to verify you ran the proper route, the Round Mound of Rebound would be properly motivated.
Shiloh was a preview of just how brutal the rest of the was going to be. Grant’s first campaign where he demonstrated his unique (for Union generals) will to exploit the North’s advantages on a large scale. That battle was bad news for the Confederacy.
On a more practical note, the game on Saturday is at 8:00 EDT, not EST. We went to daylight savings a couple of weekends ago. Since I’m in a different time zone that thinks daylight savings is the work of the Devil (AZ), I pay attention to such things.
Too much baggage for our administration. Plus, I think his best years are behind him. Lastly, he doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who want to coach the second fiddle sport at his university.
The Stat I remember about Donald is that the Lions drafted Eric Ebron while Donald was still on the board. The Rams drafted him with the next pick. Just another pleasant, Pre-Campbell Lions Memory...

I got your translation for the NCAA right here.

Very close to my (this year derived) total of $117.57. (See Above) I approve!
I’m going large this year. $117.57, as in
$30.24 + $26.00 + $27.20 +$34.13.
I have been donating for a good long time and I believe it to be a privilege.
Nice use of the word ‘possibly’, as in “Monkeys are possibly flying out my ass right now?”

Those ads were an effort to rinse some of the stink off the NCAA’s image.
+1 for you, sir, for getting your daughter there. Another link in the long chain of Michigan memories is forged.

I’m not opposed to wishing he stayed retired if he can’t put this foolish notion out of his head.

Or possibly in a van down by the river…
Which is to say the problem with OSU’s running game does not lie with the talent of their running backs.
I suspect if his former position coach at OSU is interested in him, we’ll make some kind of pitch.
Blake’s 6-5 says ‘Hello’!
Nobody on Iowa figured out how to stop Cardoso.
Magic Johnson says ‘Hi!’

Banging time to be selling beer, ice cream, and parking spaces. Get it while the getting’s good.
If that’s the case, Day needs to start with better talent if he’s going to follow in lil’ Nicky’s footsteps.
Like I said…
No, it isn’t odd, it’s about the ridiculously large alumni bases in Fox’s stable, Las Vegas, and eyeballs (even if it’s only alumni-adjacent).
the ease of content distribution makes this kind of gong show profitable.
The ESPY says “Hi!”
Johnny LaRue, host of "Jumping for Dollars"...

That's just good parenting.

We Oppenheimer’ed them in the third.
J.J. did whatever the team needed him to do in order to win. Who cares if that meant his stats weren’t “Elite”? I sure don’t.
Carlton won his 27 games playing for a Phillies team that only won 56 games all season. one of the greatest pitching performances of all time.
I think he was the AL batting Champ at .343 When he was playing for the Tigers. He edged out Ted Williams in the last week of the season.
Michigan - the all-icing defense
Ugh.

Displays of anger is a tactic of bullies. To hell with that gnome.

It was his willingness to throw troops into the meat grinder that turned the tide and set the tone for his future campaigns.

5x marathon with each containing 12,000+ of elevation change and every mile off trail. That’s some bad-ass running
Shiloh was a preview of just how brutal the rest of the was going to be. Grant’s first campaign where he demonstrated his unique (for Union generals) will to exploit the North’s advantages on a large scale. That battle was bad news for the Confederacy.

Stinks like baby poop.

I may be in, but it's hard to forget that Ndamukong Suh had as dominant a season as any DT ever, but only finished 4th in the Heisman voting.
Virginia says ‘Hi!’
