The Toad and the Ewok. It all evolved to protect them and it can't be stopped because they are both still there, and obviously MSU has decided that winning games is more important than figuring out how to fix its rape culture.
The Brazil mystique is over for me too. They seem to think they just have to show up and the other team is going to lie down for them. Neymar plays like an entitled brat. Their style of play used to stand out, but other countries have caught up to them. In fact in the last WC Germany of all teams played some of the most beautiful soccer I've ever seen.
There's literally no oversight. It's a closed loop of Sparty glad-hander buffoonery. They cannot police themselves, quite clearly. Does the Governor or legislature have ultimate authority over the entire university? Because the only way a proper course can be set is to have an outsider brought in by somebody with no connection to the school.
I still maintain that at the bottom of the collective Sparty unconscious is an insecure child trembling and sucking his thumb in a dark closet at the thought of losing their beloved Mork and Ewok. They are the most powerful people in the university and this entire dysfunctional culture grew up around them to protect them and preserve this Golden Era they've been on.
Not buying that. Miggy loves to play baseball. I think people mistake his playful personality for a guy who is not serious. He's been playing through a lot of pain the last few years. He's a serious player and I'm sure it's killing him to not be able to live up to that contract. Jim Leyland always said Miggy was so smart that he could manage one day.
My guess is that this will be his rock bottom: the injury, the awful thing with his wife and mistress, etc. Holding out hope that this will all ultimately motivate him to come all the way back and get into top condition so he can put up the stats that will get him into the Hall.
Glad I'm not the only one who was hit hard by Anthony Bourdain's death. I'm pretty sure I have a world-class bullshit detector, and in him I saw a kindred spirit. I guess upon some reflection it's not so surprising that he was really hurting. Often people who refuse to look at the world and the people in it with anything less than complete candor do so at their own risk. By the way the "where everything is beautiful and nothing hurts" line was actually from Kurt Vonnegut and obviously refers to either heaven and/or death. On top of everything else it sounds like Tony was just exhausted. He may be a celebrity but I'm actually going to miss that guy.
After all the bad PR for having the historically worst mass-rape debacle on their campus for two decades, they are still this tone deaf??? Not even to mention the sex harrassing medical school dean and the dog-fucking professor.
They clearly do not have any idea how pathetic and petty they appear to everyone else. I still maintain that all the Michigan hate at the hollow black core of Spartan Swill is the animus that drives the blindness to rape culture on that campus. Apparently beating Michigan at football is still more important to them.
When they pick a number 1 in the fall, it's not like they're going to tell the other guys they suck. They have way too much invested in both Peters and DM. They are going to be in their ears every day, trying to keep them engaged and confident. Not only for the long term good of the program, but because the backup is literally a snap away from going into the game, and as we saw last year the 3rd string guy could also become the guy.
By now the issue with Peters is well known. Harbaugh came right out and said that he had to be more assertive. Peters obviously has heard that message, but will it actually come out of him? A QB has to have some swagger. In fact a guy with guts and less talent is better than a shy guy with all the talent in the world. Exhibit A: Jim Harbaugh his entire career.
It won't be me but I wouldn't object if somebody started a Kickstarter to hire someone to carry around a sign that says "Dog Fuckerz" when we play them at that shithole little stadium of theirs next fall.
Though Simpson and Matthews have not shown great shooting ability, they both can break down the defense off the dribble. This can help create open looks for others and hopefully by season's end at least Poole, Livers, and one of the freshmen will become reliable at open 3s. And Teske will be given a chance to show he can hit from outside. I have a feeling he is working on his shot all summer.
Mark Messner is a great choice. For those too young to remember, Messner could dominate a game from the interior DL in much the same way Mo Hurst did last year. And I have no idea what his playing weight was but it was probably around 250 pounds. Just super quick and instinctive.
Preseason rankings are highly subjective and virtually meaningless. That being said it is impossible for me to not be highly subjective toward that institution which whored out every last shred of integrity to protect their rape culture athletics department and especially that smug motherfucker of a football coach. This will not even be solved if we blow them off their own field by 30 points. But it would help.
I'm not going to get before my harp because Lou Simmons had to cancel a flight and hotel room. He's getting paid dearly by Molest U to do nothing anyway.
I'm probably not thinking clearly because for even more obvious reasons than usual I want State to have a shitty season (please, please, please) but I think they are overrated. They are a .500 team without Lewerke, and I don't think he is going to sneak up on anyone this year. Teams will really scheme against him, and if he keeps running off with the ball that much he will eventually take some big hits. Running quarterbacks are a significant risk and State has absolutely no one behind Lewerke.
Wisconsin on paper and with a lot of experience looks like the most complete team in the Big Ten, actually. And they only have really one tough road game against us.
Mark my words the offense this year will be comfortably above-average. Patterson will be at least very good, if not great, which automatically brings every facet of the offense up significantly. Interior OL should be really good. Same with RB and tight ends. Receivers will have to show it but the talent is there. The only real question is what we get out of left tackle. And also I believe Jim Freakin' Harbaugh is going to come out swinging this year with some tremendous game planning and preparation. He is obviously on a mission and feels embarrassed by what happened last season. This is the year Harbaugh quiets those who love to criticize him.
My flowers and vegetables are 100% in by Memorial Day so we're off to a good start this year. We too have trouble with varmints so most of the greens this year are in pots near to the house. Stuff I'll go to often for cooking like leaf lettuce, swiss chard, parsley. Out in the raised beds the tomatoes are king--usually heirloom varietals and always one for cherry tomatoes--these produce over several weeks and are great for salads or just snacking. I also grow lots of basil, some type of hot pepper, arugula, collards, and cukes. Due to limited space I grow the "Bush" cukes which do not crawl all throughout the rest of the garden.
For historical significance it is not nearly as important as some of these others, but I am still seething with anger over the Molest U punt debacle. Worst thing to ever happen to me as a sporting fan, mostly because of who the opponent was. Of all the fan bases to hate, I hate theirs the most, and to see them celebrating what was a total 10,000 to 1 gift from the gods as though they hadn't been outplayed in that game was the height of injustice. And given what history has shown that their athletic department is the biggest bunch of slimeballs who gave over every principle to protect their shitbag coaches just opens the wound again. Horrible, horrible, horrible.
I haven't been following too closely but it seems like we have a couple DE in the class already and we are in on several more who our staff have rated higher.
Correct if I'm wrong Senator but two hot Brazilian women married to the same man could turn a mountain of money into a pile of coal faster than a fat kid on a water slide.
This is probably a courtesy nugget thrown out to buck up Izzo's tattered image, because I can't believe even the DeVos's or Izzo are dumb enough to try this.
Aw hell it gives some people a little joy in life to watch these kinds of pageants. Seeing the Brits get their knickers all in a bunch about anything is a lot like going to a zoo. I sanction this event.
Notre Dame's defense will have little idea what to prepare for if it's Patterson. Given that, and the fact that Harbaugh has the entire off-season to prepare for this game, our guys just gotta execute and I'm fairly comfortable predicting victory.

That Robinson film is pretty incredible. Kid moves like a Ferrari. Hope they put on the big sell this weekend.
Russia has a guy named Jerkoff.
Yes, but Peru played a brilliant game and should have won against Denmark. That game and Spain v Portugal have been the best of the tournament so far.
Very nicely done. I hope you're enjoying your retirement!

Hang 7 touchdowns on them and go for two.

Could it be that the linebacker depth is very young and stacked?
Here's hoping Michigan beats the Molest U Basset Hound Rapers by 5 touchdowns this fall...
-Johnny Cash
-Frank Sinatra
-Waylon Jennings
Yep. Just look at the post above and see how many of our 5-star running backs never panned out to do much.
Maybe he always dreamed of becoming an astronaut?
For sake of this board it would be far more instructive to show an all 3-star list.
He got loose way too often in last year's game. I would have Devin Bush hounding that fucker as soon as he gets off the bus.

Is that you Thujone?

I'm confused about the younger Hughes committment. What does '03 mean? And what year would he be a freshman?
I'm not going to get before my harp because Lou Simmons had to cancel a flight and hotel room. He's getting paid dearly by Molest U to do nothing anyway.
Like that almost every pre-season. Let's face it ND hype sells magazines and gets clicks.

Saw another place where they had ND giving us 7 points! Where do I get that action?
Funny all the way around because these are usually two of the programs most likely to be overrankged in preseason.
I emaginot you're correct.
He's already started growing his mullet and is into his starter pack of 'roids.
Tell us more...
Flat head shovel or a pitchfork, kids. Snow shovel is dumb.

I didn't call anyone a Nazi. I compared their athletic program to the Hitler Youth. And fuck 'em all anyway.
