Thanks for bringing the post…

Thanks for bringing the post back to the topic.  Now to go off topic...with Coach Devries of Drake heading to West Virginia, six players form Drake, including his MVP son are in the portal (also, coaches son Pat McCaffery).

Ignored by the refs and announcers, look what happened to Goldin and his calm response at the 28:00 mark.

Agreed.  Reminds me of the Beilein teams' movement off of the hedge/pick&roll.  Everybody ready to catch and shoot.  No more stand and watch.

No John Becker of the Vermont Catamounts?  Winningest coach anywhere.

Why do we keep going over this?  There is only one rule that transfers have to meet:  They only get to carry with them 60 credit hours (Myles Hinton).  This allows any first and second year  functioning student basketball player (Duncan Robinson, Charles Matthews) and all grads (Olivier Nkamhuoa) to be recruited from the portal.  Yikes

My choice!  To be joined by Muhammad Ali Abdur Rahkman.

What bothers me more is Youssef Khayat's countenance.  Still in his pre-game uniform wondering why he was not allowed on the court.

He is playing in the state championship game this weekend.

With just minutes to play (last drive) Chuck Long threw a long blooper to our best DB Brad Cochran who dropped it.  So sad.

Bryan,

Nice metaphor.  You may want to add a small amount of mini-clover to your lawn for ease of care.

Raj,

I am 76 years and have had back pain (I deserve it) forever.  Go see "Brad and Bob, World's Most Famous Physical Therapists".  I am not kidding.

This is the best advice I have given since I told my older son "Do not eat your boogers."  He turned out well.

Thanks for pointing that out.  Went through the whole roster to check out pronounciations that were not obvious.  Truly a guy with nothing to do.

Note:  Again this year the first and second team quarterbacks are look-alikes.

Appears he was out injured much of his junior and senior seasons.  Dad was his high school coach.

It was so strange as we watched the game from the 50 yardline.  None of the 4 of us sitting together saw the hit, nor did anyone in our discussion arena.  It is that vision thing that Peen and Teller depend on.

Thanks JWG.  This is one of this year's better life tales.  Quentin Stickel's performance after being knocked out at the 1948 Rose Bowl is well worth the read.

Definitely Barry Pierson.  Never forget 1969 OSU game. " A titanic epic struggle" to quote Rob Saltzstein (The Salt Mind, Michigan Daily).

My best guess based on the 10 TD passes in a year is Benny Friedman.

Great site.  Scanning through the hottest days I noted Jan 25th, 1967.  Everyone was on the diag in shorts.  1988 was the year of the heat.

IMG has 1400 students on campus not 30,000.  The difference is the number it has connections with...online, support, recruiting aid, etc.

Read the following more carefully:

Headquartered in Bradenton, Florida, USA, IMG Academy supports the entire student-athlete development journey across its on-campus and online student-athlete education experiences. Founded in 1978, the Company provides a sports-focused boarding school, sports camps, online coaching and college recruiting, and is known for its strong outcomes from the Ivy League to professional leagues. Across its suite of sports education experiences, IMG Academy supports over 100,000 student-athletes, and helped place 30,000 students onto college sports rosters in 2022 alone.

Not surprisingly, the articles(?) lack depth and information.  It may be another reason why it is called The Chirp.  Similar to the on-the-hour radio news, The Chirp might inspire a reader to learn more about the topic....and from where the article was gleaned.

Thanks for posting.

Same with every hole in golf ( 2 inches wider)...or just count each putt as a half stroke.  "Putting is not golf."

The above statement is not correct.  Gradepoint and test scores are same as NCAA.  The catch is that NCAA requires 16 full year credits in the designated academic areas and Michigan requires either 19 or 20 depending...

This is the "Worthy" problem...aptly named.

In addition, there was a recent article in the Free Press that likely named the player ..wide receiver at ML King.

Even though it is paywalled, it is fine to leave the link.  Easier for members of The Athletic to go to the article than to search the site.  Thanks for the information and summary.
