I'm glad you're doing this because it reminds everyone else that we need to focus on this game.

YES
Every time I let my guard down, bad things happen. The last time was Akron. The time before that was UMass.
That extra bit of attention could make your voice extra louder at the game and help cause a missed assignment.

Every time I have an interracial bi-sexual three-way involving farm animals, Michigan wins the national title.
FYI, I've only had one interracial bi-sexual three-way involving farm animals. It was in 1997.
September 8th, 2017 at 12:30 PM ^
20 years since the last one it's time to do it again. Get to a farm this weekend.

I've got Dennis Rodman lined up to meet you with his pet duck. He said he carries one around in case of emergencies just like this. Let me know where to send him.

Just think if WD put all that mental preparation into his studies... perhaps he could have actually got accepted to Michigan then!
September 8th, 2017 at 3:32 PM ^
Sir if I could give you all my votes for this I would. Classic Burn!!!

And why is that? Because he's trolling you guys for the idiotic assholes you are? Internet tough guys coming to a fan site to follow a team downvoting someone following the team. Awesome. Great job, tough guys!

Back in 1985 my dad took me to a Tigers game against Toronto. At one point in the game, Tom Brookens was on second base and had a pretty huge lead off the bag. My dad then notices the second baseman sneaking in behind. There was kind of a lull in the crowd noise just then, and suddenly my dad yells "watch out Brookens!"
Sure enough, Brookens turns and dives back to second just as the pitcher wheels and fires a pick-off throw to the second baseman. Safe!
Did Brookens hear my dad's warning, and was that what kept him from being picked off? Probably not. But I believed it at the time, because when you are 10 years old you tend to believe in stuff like that.
Just saying.

If I had to guess, the Pennsyvania Poker was so situationally aware that he heard the coaching from the stands and immediately took heed. Your dad likely saw something that Grammas or Tracewski missed. Good call.
My favorite player ever. '85 card attached.

While strong in his early career, Tom Brookens evolved into The Player Who Most Looks Like Your Dad.

I think that's actually the 1984 Topps card. That was my collecting heyday so I remember the card designs pretty well. Here's the '85:

The Fab 5 lost a regular season game when I had the flu. I was sure that it was partially due to the fact that I was sick. Sorry guys.

To upvote WD everytime his numbers are upside down for a fairly innocuous comment. Douche bags should not prosper. Get over your bad selves, each and every one of you.
September 8th, 2017 at 9:58 AM ^
So it's not douchey to say:
Every time I let my guard down, bad things happen
Like WD has an outcome on the game or something? Remember this is the kid who said mgoblog went up in smoke without his presence after this self-inflicted exile this summer.
There's a pattern of WD being a DB... THAT IS WHY he gets the negs. Not because of other people's motivations.
September 8th, 2017 at 10:20 AM ^
Your focus has zero impact on the actual players.

Funny, but don't I like it. All I can picture is the collective team bent over grabbing thier ankles. That is not what I want to picture!

back in 1980. we had wilf martin as our coach after farrell decided he'd make more money as an engineer in the UP than as our coach. heck, these guys even have cool practice jerseys. we were split up into four 'colors', and if memory serves, none of them were either maize or blue.

Can we assume that the ice was sloped uphill toward both nets? And the Zamboni was a mule-driven steam-powered affair?
"And the pucks? Lumps of coal. We didn't complain, though. Just happy to be out of the way of the velociraptors."

shaped into nice cylindrical shapes.
no great lakes had formed yet, we were skating on the glaciers that eventually clawed them out of the earth.
the only good news was that it was so cold ('how cold was it!?') that the cold-blooded velociraptors could hardly move, easy to get away from, and suseptible to a good hip check in their near-frozen condition.
other than that, it was just like hockey as you know it.

they're just temporarily wearing those old throwbacks until practice jerseys come in, per the freep (sipple)
