What's at Steak in Today's Game?

Submitted by MaizeMN on

The meaty part of the schedule; this game epic in its repercussions. A win puts Michigan a half game up on Nebraska. Couple that with a PSU win over Minny and it gives us the tie-breaker against the Gophers. A loss eliminates Michigan from a BIG title opportunity and a major bowl birth. Either way, after today we will know if there's sizzle or just smoke. Dammit, now I feel the urge to BBQ. Go PSU. GO BLUE! Thoughts and predictions?

Made T-bones last night for dinner.  Got them at Sparrow in Kerrytown...good meat market as I suspect local folks know.  Salt and pepper and pan fried with butter, followed by some time in the oven.

This is one of the more meaty threads we have  had in a while.

 Let's quit fooling a Round. There's not mushroom for error in this game. Nebraska won't have Martinis and Michigan will need Gardner to bacon shake to be cooking on offense. If we lose, things may very well broil over and the staff and players grilled by the press.

If one is going to get grilled by the press, hopefully they recommend a low flame with a nice, even heat and perhaps they are kind and throw some asparagus on there as well. You would hope they would allow the staff some time to marinate in the outcome of the game.

I hope you enjoy and contribute to our mutual addiction. This however, is the greatest meat thread to ever grace this site IMO.

Unfrozen Caveman Linebacker Recruiting

With apologies to Black Heart Gold Pants. And all of you.

This space has remarked on how deeply uncomfortable linebackers coach Mark Smith appears in all photos before. In this he is the opposite of Tim Hardaway's photogenic appeal.

This here is a Mark Smith keeper from Michigan's latest trip to Colerain:

Unfrozen Caveman Position Coach is confused and frightened by this camera business

Colerain is LB commit Joe Bolden's school, FWIW. I like to think his recruitment went like this:

DSC_1325[1] Ladies and gentlemen of the Bolden family, I'm just a caveman. I don't know much about this modern world of yours, but I do know how to hunt and eat wild game. As your position coach I will teach you to hunt and eat the king of game: man. Did you know man is the sweetest of all mea—

DSC_1325[1]Well… what Mark's trying to say is that Michigan's unmatched tradition and the superior technique coaching you will receive make Ann Arbor the best place for you. He is not talking about killing and eating your opposition, except—and I want to make this explicitly clear—in a metaphorical sense.
DSC_1325[1] I am 100% sincere about eating the still-beating hearts of opposing running backs.

DSC_1325[1]Well… no, he's not.

All meats.

DSC_1325[1]Well… you're probably right. You've got that bit down. And that says something coming from me.
