Was at the Oregon - Utah game last week. Decent game. Was nice to see Utah lose though in person, finally...
November 3rd, 2017 at 11:42 PM ^
fuck UCLA for taking Michigan prospects despit their mediocre coach and program
November 3rd, 2017 at 6:02 PM ^
Men's hoops at GVS too.
Is that breaking the rules?
November 3rd, 2017 at 6:13 PM ^
Sadly BTN Plus costs too much to watch just one or three games
November 3rd, 2017 at 6:17 PM ^
I really think we need a Wolverine Network.
Just give me University of Michigan please!
November 3rd, 2017 at 6:53 PM ^
Would do better than than the Longhorn Network, gaurentee it!! With how much this fan base follows hockey and softball, along with football and basketball plus the largest fan base in the world.... I think the Wolverine Network needs to happen.

November 3rd, 2017 at 7:19 PM ^
Didn't think it'd change taste, but it did for the better, HM.

My wifes father gave me a bottle of Suntory Rare Old Whisky 'Royal' before he passed.
My wife says to drink it. Not doing any good on the shelf.
Not something you'd mix, right? If you know. thx
November 3rd, 2017 at 6:38 PM ^
You serious? I drink good booze straight manly. That Suntory is primo stuff btw never mix it.
November 3rd, 2017 at 6:41 PM ^
I'm ashamed to admit, I was. I wasn't thinking 7up, but a little water or ice.
November 3rd, 2017 at 6:57 PM ^
A rock or two is perfectly fine.
Bottoms up.
November 4th, 2017 at 3:25 PM ^
Reading up on whiskey last night, I came across the reason they are called rocks. Apparently way back when, the Irish wanted to cool off their whisky a little bit and they'd go down to the water and find a cold rock to pour whisky over to cool it a little bit.
Not sure if true, but makes sense to me.
November 4th, 2017 at 12:12 AM ^
in fact, so many scottish people add a splash of water to even the best scotch whiskeys that studies have been done to find out why it tastes more flavorful:
Gallegos reports that he noticed local drinkers added water to even the most rarified Scotches. (For those not in the know, Scotch is whiskey made in Scotland, primarily from malted barley. Scotts spell the drink whisky, without the ‘e.’)
Like a good scientist, he decided to investigate if this practice really did change the flavors of the local tipple and if so, how.
Here's the full article: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/science-says-add-little-water…
Basically, slight dilution releases flavor molecules from ehtanol clusters (which theoretically enhances flavor).
Adding ice acheives similar dilution but the cooling of the liquid more than offsets the effect. Ive heard.
I actually usually drink mine straight because I can't break habit, but scientists and Scots (who are kind of the authority on whiskey) say add a splash.
November 4th, 2017 at 10:53 AM ^
^ Thanks. I was doing a little research and saw adding water helps the flavor as you said. Too strong numbs taste buds. I read distilled water. No minerals or nuetral taste.
I did not crack open the Suntory last night but an old bottle of Jack Daniels. Wife said she remembered it on her shelf when she was young. I poured it over ice, about half way through it was perfect. At the end, too watered down. So I'm going to experiment with adding cold water.
RE: "E" I see my Suntory is Whisky and my Jack is Whiskey.
November 3rd, 2017 at 6:17 PM ^
Grey Goose and tonic with a lime.
And I beat the ever living shit out of the lime with my stirrer.
Hopefully Michigan is the stirrer and Minnesota is the lime tomorrow.
November 3rd, 2017 at 6:27 PM ^
I like your pre-game aggression
November 3rd, 2017 at 6:29 PM ^
Never change.
November 3rd, 2017 at 6:54 PM ^
anger is a gift
November 3rd, 2017 at 7:17 PM ^
Putin just made me order a double everybody.
Now I’m fired up.
November 3rd, 2017 at 6:23 PM ^
Not sure what I'm going to drink when I get home, but I won't be finishing the rest of my 4-pack. One of the worst beers I have had. I'm giving the 3 I have left to a friend.
November 3rd, 2017 at 6:24 PM ^
Please make it a gift to a Sparty fan.
November 3rd, 2017 at 6:33 PM ^
Hopefully you've tried some of the other offerings from Oskar Blues, they have some solid ones i.e. Dale's Pale Ale, Tenfidy, and Pinner.
November 3rd, 2017 at 6:42 PM ^
I've enjoyed most of their other offerings so I though I'd give that one a try, but that was a huge mistake.
November 4th, 2017 at 12:20 AM ^
because of Maui Brewing's coconut porter. That was a long time ago. If I had one now, I'd probably think it was too sweet/desserty and this sounds like a lot more coconut/dessertyness!
November 3rd, 2017 at 6:54 PM ^
that sounds delicious
November 3rd, 2017 at 9:49 PM ^
This one has definitely jumped the shark.
November 3rd, 2017 at 6:31 PM ^
Gonna go Makers Mark and Go Utes. Cod Ww2 downloading now so possibly check that out as well. Rest easy boys tomorrow gonna be a fun day. Go Blue!
November 3rd, 2017 at 6:37 PM ^
Jack & Coke
November 3rd, 2017 at 6:53 PM ^
Currently sitting on a plane at the gate, waiting to take off for Alabama. Gonna visit our daughter and watch Bama take on LSU tomorrow.
Go Roll Blue Tide!
November 3rd, 2017 at 6:53 PM ^
These posts make me think of him. He has not posted in 12 days since his exile to Bolivian. That's amazing restraint. Yost, if you are out there lurking, know that you are missed.
November 3rd, 2017 at 9:15 PM ^
Did I miss a meltdown?
November 3rd, 2017 at 10:06 PM ^
I'm also out of the loop the on this one. Anyone care to elaborate?
November 3rd, 2017 at 11:18 PM ^
he called for Pep's firing, quite fervently
November 3rd, 2017 at 6:56 PM ^
I want MSU to get run off the field tomorrow.
November 3rd, 2017 at 6:57 PM ^
Memphis / Tulsa.....
What should the O/U on the number of seconds before the first TD be? I will go with 45.
