Friday Pos-Bang!
Friday Pos-bang since:
- UM is still National Champs!
- Coach May is killing it putting a team together
- NFL Draft weekend
- ...and kwallace2386's thread about some made up guy Dylan Rashada and UM shooting themselves in the foot is hilarious!
Hoops is back!
Go Blue!
A bang for JJ’s excitement. Very happy for the kid).

Let's go man!
So, JJ is now officially a first-round pick. The rest of the draft is just waiting to see where the other guys land and hoping our individual teams make good decisions. I have three meetings before I can sharpen my mower blades and slide into the weekend.
The Lions continue their unprecedented streak of competent drafting!
Bang!
I'll take "Who's got it better than us for $1000," Alex.
I know the answer to this question... It wouldn't be a Daily Double - would it? Maybe that's later today - or tomorrow.
I realize the Lions may not draft another DB, but it would be fun to watch Mikey intercept JJ from time to time.
I am hoping for this as well. Mike has Campbell/Holmes type player written all over him. We have the cover corners now so let's get the slot taken care of and get Branch back to safety.
Later round Wolverines can help many holes and they have more upside with exemplary attitudes.

I'd love to see Mikey in a Lions uniform, but I can't see it happening. Having already drafted a CB, and without a 3rd or 4th rounder (which is where many mock drafts had Mikey going), the Lions have bigger needs.

The WV center as a backup for guard and center is the biggest one to me in the second followed by secondary, DT and DE as 2nd best available (I think with improving Paschal and Houstan and the new guy we may be servicable opposite Hutch). Re-sign Decker (not sure what's left in the kitty for Goff/Decker after St. Brown/Sewell) and keep the band together.
I must admit I would like to see Cornelius Johnson drafted later rounds as the Lions 3rd WR option replacing Reynolds. His combine performance and late season clutch catches have changed my mind on him getting drafted versus FA. Not that he cares what I think but just saying.

Would love for the Lions to draft Zinter, though I could see Harbaugh doing that as well.
April 26th, 2024 at 12:04 PM ^
Don't sleep on DPJ as that third option.
April 26th, 2024 at 12:47 PM ^
I don't get his lack of use and production as his talent was always obvious but unrealized and not sure why.
April 26th, 2024 at 12:58 PM ^
He put up decent-for-the-team numbers in Cleveland despite erratic-to-poor QB play, then got traded to the Lions mid-season with four guys ahead of him that already knew the offense. With a full off-season to prepare, he should be ready to contribute.
Agreed, Zach Frazier from WV would be great, either to step in next year for Kevin Zeitler (who's only on a 1-year deal), or for Ragnow if his body just can't take it anymore. But I have doubts that he'll drop all the way to #61
April 26th, 2024 at 12:00 PM ^
Agree that the Lions aren't a good fit for him (thank you, Brian Branch), but Mike Sainristil is a consensus 2nd-rounder.
I'd say Ennis Rakestraw Jr. being drafted by the Lions means they were looking to move Branch back to field general and Mike was in play. Frazier being gone also likely meant one less target. Happy for all the guys yesterday but thought Roman and Kris deserved higher drafting position. Need at the time versus best available affects all teams I guess.
About once a day it hits me that we are the National Champions. Boom, baby!
April 26th, 2024 at 11:31 AM ^
Only once?
April 26th, 2024 at 11:56 AM ^
It still feels so, so good.
I never tire of this
Forecast is a little iffy here in Ann Arbor for Saturday morning but clearing and warm in the afternoon. So i’m thinking of getting the camping gear out and heading to the Diag. Free food and drinks, games, study sessions, etc. Maybe Dennis can join me. ⛺️
OT season posbang...
Personally, I hate having to root against JJ twice a year. Good for him, though. Those saps in Minnesota paid Kork huge bag, so JJ ought to do pretty well with those soft touches. I thought the Lions did very well to move up and grab that Bama CB.
April 26th, 2024 at 10:39 AM ^
I don't think we're allowed to root against JJ at all. Your NFL (Lions?) fandom will have to take a back seat. Sorry.
April 26th, 2024 at 10:51 AM ^
great. now the monkey is making the rules.
sure sign of the apocalypse.
Should come as a surprise, but I find these images...disturbing.
It's because Mean Joe is... disturbing.
You lot are toast.

I will just root for Hutch and Glasgow to beat JJ.
Actually, my first awareness of football as an object of viewing and fan interest came from my older brothers and dad watching the Lions in 1960, with Michigan not moving up the board until I went to my first inperson game in 1963. Although the Lion's bumbling management has done nothing to endear the team to me, there are a ton of players who have done their best in the Honolulu Blue and Silver. Sorry, JJ, but when the Lions play the vile Vikings, you're going to need to take a paycheck beating. If it's any consolation, Aiden won't like it, either.
Outside of that well-reasoned response, what is up with the rest of you? Were did those responses come from?
Go Blue. Bang me. Not necessarily in that order.
Put me down for a good banging today.
Head down to the draft if you can. Detroit did a great job with the setup and it's cool to see everyone down there.
Draft scene was great. An amazing amount of people - crazy football fans from everywhere having a good time. Parking was easy too if you planned it out (take the Qline from New Center).
Had Super Bowl rings from every year on display - no Lions ring, but they had the stand for LIX empty. So they’re sayin there’s a chance …
Draft stage was huge - me thinks there is a little money in the NFL.

What? No more People Mover?
My inflamed hemorrhoids have resolved! Happy Friday, everyone.
April 26th, 2024 at 10:14 AM ^
That must have been a real pain in the ass. Congrats!!!
Meeting with my company C-suite guys this afternoon, sporting some tasteful M and Lions apparel, starting every meeting with “You’re on the clock.”
National Champions baby!
Bang band and Go Blue...as high as they can in the draft!
Bang-a-bang-bang-o-bango!
(To the Batmobile)
I love me some Fridays.
Lets bang.
247s Davis Moseley hinting at a giant Russian today as well.
It’s a golden opportunity to have a good day.

Ivan Drago, come on down!
I'm off today and headed north. Hold down the fort!
