Not your imagination - there was an MGOBLOG button at the top of the page that scrolled with the other shortcut dropdowns that would link back to the home page.

I miss it.

IIRC, when they originally…

IIRC, when they originally designed and built the scoreboards, they extended the foundations to be able to take the additional load of expansion, but they are now limited to that foundation without drastic and expensive rework.

I agree, though, should have gone a bit bigger, especially with the proliferation of mega scoreboards around the country. 

It would not be so much the…

It would not be so much the work environment, as people are relatively spread out during their shift.  It is the common areas (break rooms, bathrooms, time card stations, etc.) and their myriad of hard surfaces that many workers from multiple shifts come into contact with everyday.

I second the Coursera courses.  I dug into and completed a couple of specializations on Python programming, and it helped me snag a new job in tech last summer.  I would recommend the Python for Everybody courses, as they have a entertaining and engaging professor that really helps learn the material.

Over the last year, I have lost over 40 lbs by simply adhering to the intermittent fasting (IF) regimen.  In a nut shell, cut yourself off from eating after dinner (no late-night snacks, no after dinner dessert or drink), and only drink water/non-caloric tea/black coffee until lunch the next day.

In my eating windows, I have not restricted myself on what I eat.  Also, I usually take the weekends off and have a beer or two after dinner, or have a big, hearty breakfast.

I’m starting today with some Elijah Craig small batch bourbon in a Kentucky mule. If today goes well, I will be breaking out a special Woodford Reserve to sip on the rest of day. Let’s Go!!

Exactly!

My experience was damn near identical, down to the Guinness (maybe my 4th by then). My cat was sleeping on my lap, so he got a harsh awakening when I jumped out of my chair.

It's time someone had the courage

I'm gunna need you to go ahead

I'm gunna need you to go ahead and make a TL;DR comment on all the board posts that I click from now on.  

Thanks!

Can't go wrong with an

Can't go wrong with an Octoberfest. There's always pumpkin ales, too, but I don't know about a whole sixth barrel of it. I personally love Sierra Nevada pale ale or Founder's All Day IPA for fall weather.

The "Wave"

Most of the time the sitting/standing goes in waves from the lower rows up, and you just go with the flow.  Without doubt, though, a few games a year feature an overly drunk guy who thinks it's our duty to stand all game and yell for every down.  

Just don't be that guy.

My wife and I got married in

My wife and I got married in May, 2011 (today is our anniversary, actually) at Kensington Court hotel right next to Briarwood. They have a really great outdoor ceremony area that we used, and the pictures of the scene turned out beautifully. We also had our reception there as well that I would also recommend.

Punt Demo

While I love Dr. Harbaugh, Punt Demo definitely deserved a one seed in this region.

All about the beer

Drinking Dirty Bastard while brewing my own batch of Belgian White home brew. The kitchen is cozy warm from the boil with a nice nasal bouquet of malt, orange honey, and hops.

WTF Did I Just Read?!?

Normally, I don't take the warnings seriously.

ND Video

I don't think I've ever seen the ending to that video.  Everytime I watch it, I get about a minute in, audibly sigh, "Ugh", and close the tab.  

Return of FTC

Cinnamon Toast Crunch is also my all-time favorite cereal, but I've been on a huge French Toast Crunch kick since they brought it back.

Passenger Trains

Having worked on the railroad, I was surprised at how many incidents there are at railway crossings. Also, it is relatively easy for a train to derail.

Kovacs = Ivan Drago?

Just the look on his face in that picture makes me think, "I must break  you" or, "If he dies, he dies".

Mississippi St.

Losing to a lackluster Auburn team isn't helping my picks.  Still sore about the time management skills of Dan Mullen. 

Par 34

Is the South course, which I did not suggest. otherwise, they have very similar yardage, and par 71- 18 holes. While Moose Ridge is the nicer course, Links does play very comparably.

Links of Novi

I play a league at Links of Novi, and I believe it is fairly comparable to Moose Ridge in layout/challenge, and cheaper in price.  There are 3 - 9 hole courses, and I would suggest the West and the East for the best experience.

No Significant Demo

I wouldn't think they would scrap the current foundation.  If they were, there's no way it would be done by the Spring Game.  Most likely they are going to disassemble the current scoreboard, as we are seeing, and assemble the new one on top of the existing supports,  possibly even reinforce the supports depending on the new scoreboard loads.

In Soviet Ohio,

Coach fires you!!

Isn't that the same U.S. Attorney's Office

that shut down Internet Poker for a short time for U.S. players a few years back? 

Bids Awarded

I believe this article was re-published because U-M awarded the bids for the construction of the renovations.  My fiance, who works for a construction co. in Detroit, said that they had been awarded work for the new scoreboard at the Big House.

All I know is it looks like

All I know is it looks like he is having a mini-seizure.  I'll just stick to plain 'ole high def, thank you.

Well doesn't that just beat all.

It's not like I was hoping for coaching resolution today.

Oregon's uniforms are ridiculous

Did you hear Musburger call them costumes?
