Noon on Saturdays. What…

Noon on Saturdays. 

What decade is it, by the way?

Which is I guess legal?  But…

Which is I guess legal?  But iphone videos from 100 hundred yards away isn't legal and undermines the game.  Having just recorded my kids choir at a Twins baseball game from less than 100 hundred yards away (they were in centerfield and I was by a foul pole) I can ensure you 3x zoom on an iphone doesn't provide any discernible details.  Couldn't even see kids faces.

The truth is, Smith and  Day…

The truth is, Smith and  Day sought to undermine Michigan's victories to protect themselves from their own fan base.

I agree with this take.  

Have you seen their schedule…

Have you seen their schedule?  It's laughable until Oregon.  I know you're joking, but thought worth saying as they'll start number 1 and they absolutely will be number 1 if they go undefeated until the game except for maybe one scenario: we go undefeated.  Given our monstrosity of a schedule, if we roll undefeated into Thanksgiving (doubtful), we would be absolutely deserving of the #1.

That white sticker in the…

That white sticker in the bottom middle of his helmet is particularly nice.  I can see OSU and MSU fans with their sharpies at the ready.

And they knew Stalions…

And they knew Stalions existed and could (and likely did) changed things accordingly.  

This doesn't get enough…

This doesn't get enough attention.  The fact that people state they knew about the situation was a BENEFIT to those teams because they could react in advance rather than going "oh shit" in the middle of the game.  Stalions arguably hurt Michigan more than he helped.

That’s called battery. It…

That’s called battery. It wouldn’t have stuck in Columbus, but he committed a crime against you. So does Gene’s criminal record need a few asterisks?

Could it have been moved to…

Could it have been moved to the message board?  Or is that not possible? Posted as a diary in error (not by me) and was generating decent discussion.

Should I really trust the advice of a 17 year-old skipping school?

Love bluey. My favorite line…

Love bluey. My favorite line is from this episode as well: “this is what happens when you’re unhappy with what you’ve got: someone’s husband eventually gets it.”  

Our Weber is holding strong…

Our Weber is holding strong as our regular grill and we have a cheap electric smoker that works well for our needs in the space.  Pizza is my wife's hobby (and one I very much so enjoy), so looking to do a standalone pizza option.  

Depends on the barrel. There…

Depends on the barrel. There are barrels that are over 135 and they didn’t. Concentrate the alcohol. All depends on how it’s made stored. Age matters too. I don’t trust anyone from total wine. 

$70 with tax and shipping…

$70 with tax and shipping. 100% would be doing this for the bottle given it’s a 2 year whiskey. 

Penix career also won’t last…

Penix career also won’t last as long because it won’t start for at least three more years. 

It’s interesting to me that…

It’s interesting to me that KOC liked the fact JJ threw it on a line to Johnson in the highlight from the Minnesota game they grabbed. I remember that play and thinking if JJ had put air under it it could have been a touchdown. As I’m not an NFL head coach, perhaps throwing on a line was the right move then?  

We expect them to get an…

We expect them to get an education?

No. I can’t remember the…

No. I can’t remember the timeline exactly, but it was closed soon after I became of drinking age. Charley’s and Scorekeepers were the usual haunts. Dollar pitcher and soco limes S’keepers on Thursdays. 100% avoided Friday classes.

So a lock for Kentucky. Got it. 

Edit: posted this before reading through other comments. This is becoming a sad and frequent joke. 

Perfect season. Perfect…

Perfect season. Perfect recap. We would have overlapped in school (class of 04). I didn’t have the early years as I didn’t grow up in Michigan, but my wife and I met in school and have shared our fandom for over 20 years.  Your piece resonates with me in many ways. Excellent. 

Nice. Looking forward to…

Nice. Looking forward to getting to know this offense. The D is already so familiar. 

Highly recommend Minnesota…

Highly recommend Minnesota. Not so much Minneapolis proper. Choose a suburb. Minneapolis and St. Paul are improving, but they are not yet what they were pre-Covid. Plus, the school systems are all much better in the suburbs (some are outstanding and almost all are top notch). Housing can get to over a million if you are hell bent on top notch areas and new builds, but I’ll say there are tons of options in the 600-900k range in great areas. 

Well, we did close the gap…

Well, we did close the gap quite a bit in the last game of the year. They had a 23 point lead heading into that game. 

They are convinced one…

They are convinced one person, and only one person, is responsible for the “somehow we’re 3-0”.  Delusional. 

That was Stewart who trucked…

That was Stewart who trucked Latham.  Braiden did have a great Rose Bowl, though.

They already did. Needed 300 priority points 😢. Secondary market shouldn’t be too bad.

Bummer.  Maybe he's just threatening to leave to get more NIL?  Wouldn't be surprised if these kids are learning this valuable corporate world skillset.

Looking to buy 4 Washington away game tickets. Need 300 priority points per the email that came out today, and I’m a few shy of that unfortunately. 

I thought the “schools that…

I thought the “schools that don’t cooperate do better” thing was kind of put to bed as bogus fan fiction. Most schools really do cooperate. Read the Tennessee punishment and it’s clear that it’s a pretty sever punishment and they also are noted for cooperating. Yet many say they didn’t really get punished and that’s because they didn’t cooperate.

"Tennessee's cooperation throughout the investigation and processing of this case was exemplary by any measure," the panel said.

The more blue the better. Oh and slimier too. Roquefort anyone?

Love the book. The 1994 is tolerable if you go into it knowing it was a made for tv series, at least in my opinion. Have you read the Dark Tower series?  Highly recommend.

So what will OSU's excuse be in 2024?

Also, didn't anybody think about the number of jobs at risk?  This is at least three staffers waving placards / wearing funny colored shirts who are no longer needed.

Pats are a freaking mess…

Pats are a freaking mess right now. I hope for JJs sake the pats listen to their fans because I don’t want JJ to go there. 

Another issue right now is…

Another issue right now is short sightedness. All the writers and pundits are going to treat any rookie QB that doesn’t have a CJ Stroud type season as a bust. Maybe Caleb and Maye will get a “give him a year or two” treatment, but the others, should they go high, won’t. And the reason is exactly like another poster said: negativity generates clicks.

I think JJ has a ton of…

I think JJ has a ton of upside, but I do think it’s a risk going top 10. But that’s also true of any draft pick ever. I’ve seen worse piling on than these takes. And they are still saying first round. If they said late rounds (like after Penix), then I’d be more pitchfork-y.

But also cannot hit the broadside of NCAA hypocrisy, which is to say he couldn't put it into Sagitarrius-A* if he tried.

No, because we won a national championship. The way I see it we didn’t make any administrative mistakes this year. 

Right, but it does mean that…

Right, but it does mean that, of the five individuals, there are some who are still on staff who get a show cause.  It seems that more details are coming out that this really doesn't mean anything, which is all I was trying to understand,
