I'll venture a wild guess…

I'll venture a wild guess that our game will be at Lambeau, Wrigley or Soldier Field. I don't know what the dimensions or logistics are at whatever they call the White Sox park nowadays...but it's interesting that it's never mentioned as an option.  

Here's a complete wild card option, at a good mid-point...what if the game was scheduled for Notre Dame stadium? There is train service from Chicago.

I know some of the guys & gals at Open Water Chicago who swim year-round as long as the lake isn't iced over. I can easily imagine some of them doing exactly that.

This guy at Athlon is pretty enthusiastic about the plan. Dunno about sailgating in November, though.https://athlonsports.com/college/northwestern-wildcats/northwestern-wildcats-temporary-college-football-field-three-reason-fans-i-will-love

Dumping Minnesota and…

Dumping Minnesota and Indiana would make more sense in football. Northwestern has been far more successful. The Gophers and Hoosiers haven't sniffed a title since 1967.

Back then, there were three long jumping events: Standing Broad Jump, Running Broad Jump (now called Long Jump...which is what he ran) and Triple Jump. They didn't make a mistake on the plaque.

True, but it is still the single greatest day in sport, ever and anywhere Balanced by the greatest day in Ohio sports history, just 5 years later, when Tom Harmon received a standing ovation at the Horseshoe in his final game after three rushing TDs, two passing TDs, four EPs, three INTs, and three punts averaging 50 YPK.

It's snowing today, on and off. Otherwise I'd be sitting outside enjoying a dream of Jameson's sitting on my Patty O'Furniture.

Smart's gimmick defense has its limitations, just like Beilein's 1-3-1 and Brown's all blitz all the time in FB. We dropped the 1-3-1 when it stopped working and dropped Brown for a more sophisticated DC. Has Smart made the same adjustment since VCU?

I didn't care about the…

I didn't care about the outcome of the Super Bowl until my wife told me that she read that Tucker Carlson was so wrapped up in Taylor Swift conspiracy theories that he said that he'd kill himself if the Chiefs won. I'm sending him a big knife, gun, sturdy rope and bottle of poison in an overnight package first thing tomorrow morning.

 

 

 

Not moneybags. Rich uncle… Not moneybags. Rich uncle Milburn Pennybags.
Yeah. I want Juwan to…

Yeah. I want Juwan to succeed, even after this. But this is like losing in FB to Toledo, except by giving up a 3 TD lead. Time to amputate the gangrenous limb and, cauterize the wound. Bite on a bullet while the field surgeon applies the rusty saw and disinfects it with carbolic acid. Who's next up? We've never been just a football school. I expect a final four our at least once every decade. That's been our history all my lifetime.. with one interruption last time we made bad HC hires.

It was a great presser. I'm glad he was hired and I predict he will achieve great success.

But to use words like "poised" and "well spoken" for an adult, particularly for an adult of color, is cringe-worthy, if not positively offensive.

He's a grown man with an impressive professional resume. It's not like he's a 12 year old speaking in public for the first time in his life.

Pre-Super Bowl, there are…

Pre-Super Bowl, there are more than a few. The Browns and the Buckeyes in '54 come to mind.

We will all be well…

We will all be well practiced at rooting against a team called the Buc(k)s next week.

The NFL requires teams to…

The NFL requires teams to disclose who they've interviewed when the person is under contract to another NFL team. They didn't have to disclose the Harbaugh interview because he's not a NFL coach, but having disclosed the others, makes sense to do the same.

He did the same thing for a college hockey game a few years earlier.

Fourth playoff win in my lifetime! One point. I'll take it.

Yeah. But Jim Carty actually went to law school. So, that doesn't cut any slack with me. And, I've dealt with practicing lawyers for closing on 50 years.

Mrs Mgoblue78 and I went on a delayed month-long honeymoon in the fall of '86 that included 4 days in Paris. Back then, way before electricity, you could just walk up to the Louvre, go right in no lines and press your nose up against the Mona Lisa and hug the Venus de Milo..well, the pedestal anyway.

I like JUB, but quite frankly, he has no more credibility on this stuff than some anonymous YouTube, X, or other social media platform. Bottom line...nobody knows nothing. He should just stick with that.

Good luck to him . And I'll miss him. And I didn't know this until today, when I was curious about the paragraph in his announcement about his girlfriend. No idea she got all kinds of publicity in People and the like. I think I'll miss her Visko posts now that I've seen them. Yow! To be 20 again...I guess everyone is cute at that age 

The idiot squad on UDub's…

The idiot squad on UDub's message boards are convinced that the only reason they lost was that DeBoer was distracted because he was already negotiating with Bama prior to the game, and that's also why the deal got done so fast.

So how's this scenario? Jim…

So how's this scenario? Jim decides to pursue his dream of putting the Lombardi Trophy on his mantle, and within his typical sell-by date, wins it with the Chargers, after which management gets tired of him, though he's in the pantheon of that franchise's fans.

In the meantime, his successor here maintains a high level of success. Top 3 in the B18G and multiple playoff appearances. And then that coach gets poached by the NFL.

And Jim, like Bill Snyder, decides to come back and coach us to his retirement.

On the floor, but no, that's…

On the floor, but no, that's not an option.

What? Every silver lining…

What? Every silver lining has a cloud?

You're suffering from the exact opposite of schadenfreude. Instead of taking pleasure in the misfortune of others, you're taking dismay in your own good fortune.

I'm sure that there's a 17 syllable word in German or Russian for it.

The posters on UDub's message board are every bit as crazy as those on RCMB and 11W. Some are convinced that the reason they lost Monday night was that DeBoer was distracted because he was already negotiating with Bama before the game.

There's a young guy whose just been a low-lever staffer, with a couple years before that as an unpaid intern. But he already has a 600+ page manifesto on coaching Michigan football. Who could be better prepared?

He did the same thing nearly 3 years ago for a UMD (not to be consumed with UDM) hockey game. It looks like he improved his MSPaint skills in the interim.
