Anyone else having issues…

Anyone else having issues with MGoBlog downloads on Spotify the last few weeks? A few choppy spots here and there, not unlistenable, but wondering if it’s a Spotify issue.

I can only assume it's due…

I can only assume it's due to the lack of deep balls he attempted this year, because his velocity on mid balls has been great.

Bowl games do not count…

Bowl games do not count against eligibility.

Kind of related, but who are…

Kind of related, but who are the last players we are waiting on a decision from? Trente Jones, Makari Paige, and Rod Moore (I could've missed all their announcements too)?

The game was awesome, there…

The game was awesome, there was this very noticeable buzz walking the concourse 2 hours before the game. It certainly helped that there were so many Michigan fans, but would recommend everyone go once for their team if they can.

It did actually hail around…

It did actually hail around 1am downtown, it was meant to be.

It looks like it will at the…

It looks like it will at the convention center right next to NRG, appears to be indoors.

As a beer guy I'd change the list to this:

Lagers/Pilsers: Equal Parts (best brewery in the city), New Magnolia, Frost Town

IPAs: Spindle Tap, Urban South, Eureka Heights

Stouts: Great Heights, 11 Below (a bit further)

Sours: True Anomaly, Urban South has some smoothie styles

Traditional/Atmosphere: Saint Arnolds (my second favorite and best all around), 8th Wonder, Buffalo Bayou (beer isn't great, but view is best in the city), Karbach (AB-InBev owned)

Extra: Platypus, Baileson, Brash, Under the Radar

Possibility of set of three…

Possibility of set of three tickets and two tickets with two seats in between. Section 140, Row Z. UT grad selling, looking for around the going value on ticketmaster, around $1800 currently. Direct purchase so no fees. I have tickets so not getting, trying for other UM fans.

Michigan had the Joe Moore…

Michigan had the Joe Moore winning OLine in 2021 and Georgia tore us up, UWs success and award voting is based off opponents and I think our DLine is much closer to that UGA line this year.

Prices just dropped about …

Prices just dropped about $1000 face value and $300 in fees, went from $3300 total to $1900. I grabbed one because I’m paranoid they will rise again, but looking like they may drop some with UT out.

I was thinking the same…

I was thinking the same thing. Michigan was crucified by the media for doing the same thing with Morris (at least he was pulled after a few plays), but not a peep about the mistreatment of the concussion protocol here.

I guess the ones this year…

I guess the ones this year weren't lost, so maybe that's why they aren't listed, but pretty certain he lost this one against Illinois and that's why we didn't go up by 14 at half.

Do we even want him and risk…

Do we even want him and risk losing Davis, who seems like a great Harbaugh QB? It's crazy how many people are forgetting that he is in this class.

How would OSU know what’s…

How would OSU know what’s been going on these last two years if they are just a bystander like the rest of the B1G teams? I think he’s telling on himself here.

He's pretty active on…

He's pretty active on twitter, just fyi.

Tom Mars is his attorney.

Hutch and Danna had a really…

Hutch and Danna had a really nice talk at the end of the game, love seeing the Michigan boys chatting.

OP is correct, it sounds like someone is constantly readjusting the mic boom in front of their face. It's not unlistenable for me, but is noticeable and would be great for it to fixed going forward.

Tom Mars responded with a…

Tom Mars responded with a second statment that made it seem like someone could now comment on the post to clarify or correct any information that has been made public by another party (the COI in this case). Although I believe the University will stick to the high ground here and use it in the upcoming hearing to their benefit.

I went and looked at the baseball wins and found that we are the 3rd winningest program in baseball as well, that was a nice surprise.

Dan Carlin has a great…

Dan Carlin has a great episode on Hardcore History about this, called The Celtic Holocaust, great listen.

I saw that too, but Peacock…

I saw that too, but Peacock is offering a deal right now of $19.99 for a full year, not sure how long the offer will last, but guessing it's tied somewhat to the Comcast deal ending.

edit: offer expires on June 12th

The cold is one of the…

The cold is one of the things I remember the most as well, only went to the game in shorts and a t-shirt because it was pretty warm in the sun, but freezing as the sun went down. I remember around the 3rd quarter seeing about a 1/4-1/3 of the stadium leaving (possibly due to cold) and pushing down to the 40th row or so (which as a freshman was pretty awesome), even with the stadium a bit empty, it was one of the loudest games I can recall in those last 7 minutes.

Found 'em.

Found 'em.

Edit: And they removed the part about saying this woman was hounded her whole life for reporting sexual assualt.

Just rewatched the extended…

Just rewatched the extended highlights of both games on Monday, usually watch them every month or two. Occassionaly will watch the full games on Fox app too, can never get enough.

How exactly do you determine any employee's worth to be able to accurately make that statment? This is insanly vague in almost all companies, salary and value are rarely constant or similar.

During Covid, UofM was offering free Python courses through Coursera. I don't recall exactly how to get to it, but you could try that route with your umich.edu account if you have one.

There is a big difference between his kind of religious and Harbaugh's kind of religious though.

One of the weird things I…

One of the weird things I see with the Cade talk is that everyone always brings up the B1G West. He's from NV and it would probably be in his best interest to leave the conference so that has no hanging comparissons or "noise" from other teams. He's good enough to play in any conference, but would guess he goes west coast.

You should've mentioned the…

You should've mentioned the Trotsky Ice Axe, that was one of the early greats.

Pasty Sauce (which I think…

Pasty Sauce (which I think is just some combo of Ketchup and Tobasco) was always my go to.

The reason for the divorce…

The reason for the divorce could very likely be that first sentence, it's very hard to get back to a normal life after the loss of a child like that. 

I believe he had a history…

I believe he had a history of them at Cal as well. I distinctly remember him getting hit and then vomiting all over the field (during a bowl game I think).

The way their RB runs it is…

The way their RB runs it is hard and downhill so I think it gives UM it's first taste of a punch you in the face downhill runner

Maryland was doing this pretty successfully to start the game, not sure why they stoped, but hopefully Iowa's lack of passing attack will help neutralize the RB a bit more.

I haven't thought of it that…

I haven't thought of it that way, but with the new transfer rules, you are absolutely correct that redshirting guys is most likely allowign them an extra year at another school. These days if someone is good enough they usually will go pro before the 5th year would matter (Ross and Hawkins might be exceptions.)

Anybody else noticing how Brian is much more engaged in these than he has been for the last few months? You can really notice the change and that he appears much happier watching the team now than he has been, it's a nice to see old Brian back.

I prefer the clean look as well, just gets too cluttered by overly large stickers that look completely random to any non major fan. I am a fan of them on other teams helmets where they blend better, just think they hide the wings too much.

It wasn't "unfairly", Cade…

It wasn't "unfairly", Cade objectively is not a great QB, he is just fine. If H2 and the oline didn't destroy OSU, we would not be having this conversation about Cade, because almost every game of his has more frustrating moments than great moments. Even in his best game last year against MSU, he still got stopped in the red zone four times and that cost us the game.

I think that may be the…

I think that may be the wrong link, it takes me to the UMich BBall page and talks about Youssef Khayat.

Cade may have similar 'Game…

Cade may have similar 'Game Manager' qualites to Brady, but I don't think they compare really well in arm talent. Brady isn't throwing as hard as Rogers, but he was no slouch in his younger days.

My guess is that the…

My guess is that the majority of big donors are probably on the older side and not browsing facebook/twitter for this news. I'm thinking the alumni events will start mentioning it or other donor events, and that will be when you will see a big uptick.

I have always thought it was…

I have always thought it was weird that they make an EV car look so much different from a normal car, which is why Tesla sells so well. The old compact style for all EVs was just not desireable, make a car that I actually want to drive. Like the new EV Mustang, why not make it look just like the normal fuel model?

From my understanding, FOX…

From my understanding, FOX gets first pick of the game they want for the entire season, not each week, and then a draft of sorts happens for the rest of the games.

I've never been to this pub,…

I've never been to this pub, but my folks did: Sean's Bar in Athlone, which is the oldest pub in the world. Only thing I can speak to personally is Temple Bar in Dublin is a fun spot and get a hop-on / hop-off pass and do the Guinness tour and Jameson tour back to back to knock it out.

Honestly, if we have a sixth…

Honestly, if we have a sixth year senior starting at QB, then we are doing something wrong on the recruiting trail. I want my QBs to be gone after their third or fourth year, because that means they were good enough to go to the NFL early. I would prefer1st rounders on this team, not UDFA QBs.

I do one set of ribs traditional and it's always my favorite with a nice sauce on the side, but the beauty of Costco ribs is I get three racks, so always do two different ones. There was a Franklin's rub that everyone seemed to like a lot with Ribs specifically.
