Great skit.

Great skit.

Counting chickens before…

Counting chickens before they hatch makes me nervous. Could cause someone to seek a whole new venture far from a situation so poorly managed.

Just make your clients happy…

Just make your clients happy in the end and you will attract Billionaires. Seems foolproof.

Can those be suspended? Asking for all butthurt rivals.

Curious. Since most funding…

Curious. Since most funding is per pupil and from stable and likely locally increasing sources why would there be a sudden deficit of this magnitude? Has there been growth in parts of the budget for other than teaching? 

No longer giving out gold…

No longer giving out gold pants. Sorry.

Beats me how this could…

Beats me how this could happen. No pressure.

Depth, development across…

Depth, development across the board and S&C staff continuing to make starters unbreakable will decide. Portal usage and NIL improvements will help and recruiting of non-mercenaries likely the pattern going forward but proof in the pudding will tell all. 

Don't yet believe a Milroe style system without 18 5- stars can get you there but we will see on how strong "SMASH" is. Culture must stay in managing NIL.

QB settling and philosophy biggest concern for me and then all the depth issues you need to constrict other teams and shorten games to our preferred level. Wink needs to develop his staff or John and Jim need to so we can poach in next few years. I don't see the recruiting depth needed to replenish after this year and that is a concern but I do trust in Coach Moore.

Nearby floating homes are uber cool. Never got time to take the Union Lake float planes to the San Juans though, dangit!

Intriguing,  daughter just took a job on Whidbey Island. 
Brother has a close friend who’s vice president player personnel on the Seahawks. He has gotten field passes and locker room tours and he has photos with DK Metcalf , Ken Walker and DK signed his son’s Metcalf jersey while it was on him. Pretty good 15th birthday present for the lad.

 Brother used to live in Issaquah and I used to live in Puyallup. Beautiful area.

For the naysayers, Goff does…

For the naysayers, Goff does require a more formidable O-line be maintained but that also translates well into a run game generally and some consider the o-line a weapon :). However, most mobile QB's exceed their abilities, law of averages, eventually and get injured pushing it a little too far. Mahomes may be an exception or Steve Young but not every team has HOF's.

A QB (Stafford is in this same boat) that can slide and make quicker decisions or just dump it off or throw it away is valuable also long term if accurate, with touch. Goff is these things and needs to focus on ball control and keep honing his quick decision tree. There aren't 10 of these types in the whole league . Manning and Brady are the archetypes for Stafford and Goff to follow. Goff is younger.

Interest in sports can’t be…

Interest in sports can’t be mandated. Dollars follow interest. People should follow the sports so they have adequate support. Redistribution makes interest wane. Life isn’t fair.
Self-interest and equality don’t make good bedfellows.

My shortened input to the conversation .

Yes. That is the system here…

Yes. That is the system here where short passes to St. and Jahmyr are runs but 8+ yards often. It is what he has seen and can process that he has earned and is being paid for.

New FB strength and…

New FB strength and Conditioning Coach's philosophy versus the eccentric genius that is Ben Herbert?

Well you don't say what his…

Well you don't say what his coach has said to all the players and lead the chant and then get dismissive suddenly about his ability. Maintain the line and let him and Jamo focus like Brady and Edelman and Ben Johnson will wreak havoc. I gotta wear shades!

Come visit the Champions of the West. Nothing will matter except, Smash! Enjoy.

Thank you for your career at…

Thank you for your career at Michigan and for your support of the team and excellent role in winning the National Championship which you, a Champion, always will be. I wanted you for the Lions as I think your football future is steadily improving and hope you find fulfillment in all future endeavors.

Well...bye.

Well...bye.

Paul's Puppeteer is just upset they suffer from premature matriculation after their Coach took his ball and went home. Just Sayin!

Mel wants MSU exposure and likely wants an interview so he can stroke him. Regarding the lawsuit topic that could be another win-win interview.

Always had my back although I didn't always deserve it. Died on Mother's Day 2020.

Wanted to get the wife some living plant as she doesn't go much for cut flowers but she said no and that she got a new house so I may be good for life....nahh!

Avoid the Texas two step. Boa constrictor defense and 8 o-lineman, Loveland, Orji and Mullings and let's see if they can steal our sign.

*ene  *mith? Presiding over fake classes, performance enhancing drugs and illegal payments to recruits should have its own asterisk, right  *ene? 

 I don’t recognize you.

Does the NCAA know about this? I just hope nobody ever gives him another job where he can endanger students again. Someone should lead an investigation.

Looks like Sparty graduation ceremonies went off as planned. Reception following at Jets Pizza I'd imagine. Should be able to fit all 20 in.
