Ace, nice touch with Binary Star. One of the most underrated albums of all time. Haven't commented on anything in months, but I had to give you props for this.
This link is great!!! But one thing that these stats do not show is quickness. Lawson and Paul are both much quicker (and faster) then Burke. I think this is a major attribute if you are 6 foot or under. Not saying that I agree with the way NBA point guards are used, but all the top PGs all have the ability to score in one on one situations (on just about anyone who is guarding them). A great example of this is Will Bynum, he is not a top PG (or starter), but he is able to stick around because of his exceptional athletism.
I know that I am in the minority here, but I think Burke will be best served as a backup point guard on a good team. This years draft is weak and he IS the best player in college basketball, but I think he is playing at his ceiling physically. So I think it will be a good thing if he goes to a late first round team. I am not saying that he won't be a starting point guard, I just don't think he will ever be a franchise type point guard in the NBA.

I do think it is a little stalkerish for UM fans to direct message recruits. That is going a little too far.

I have an autographed basketball of the entire 1989 Detroit Pistons team. It even has Chuck Daly's signature on it. Gotta love the Bad Boys. My best friend gave it to me as part of my wedding present, after years of trying to talk him into selling it to me.
This is one of the most refreshing lists I've seen I a while. Mine would be similar, the biggest change would be having J Dilla as the number one producer. Just good to see that people are putting in the work.
I was recently in my local Meijer and I came across one of the worst marketing ideas ever. A St. Patrick's day Michigan Wolverines hat. It was a black hat with an MSU green colored block M. It also had Wolverines on the brim in green.
This past Saturday we decided to park at Pioneer and found that they raised their price once again (from $30 to $35). The golf course has WAY more room and a MUCH better ground to setup on. Not only does Pioneer pack you in, the ground was so muddy in spots that some tailgaters had to pack up after it rained. I will never park at Pioneer again.
Not sure what you are powering up, but I just bought a power inverter for my flat screen and just about anything else I need. Maybe that could be an option for you if they do not allow a generator.
My seats are in the very top row in the aisle. No one in front or behind me, plus I have the option of standing (against the bowl). On the same side as the student section, but opposite corner. I love the view. I would avoid seats directly behind either goal endzone.
I went to Dearborn High School and I saw Tractor Traylor play (dominate) a few games in Districts his senior year. He was a man amongst boys to say the least. I also witnessed Ian Gold win the 100m dash. He was screaming (aka talking shit) the whole race, while Bellville finished in 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. I could not imagine anyone playing football against a kid like that in highschool. Both were a couple years older then me. To a lesser extent I was teammates with Brodie Killian (97-01) who is lucky enough to have a beautiful National Championship ring (which looks great on my finger by the way). I'm sure no on has heard of him, but he was one of the best leaders I've have ever met (if that means anything).
I recently purchased jerseys from a couple different sellers. I received one legit jersey. The sellers name was "notcounterfeitjerseys" (I know it seem like an obvious fake), I bought the #2 away jersey from him. I actually took the jersey to the MDen to compare and it checked out. But I would avoid any seller from Wisconsin, there are a couple different sellers (from cities within a couple miles from each other). I got a horrible knock off of the Nike authentic Braylon. It looked 3x worse then the picture.
I will be attempting to stream live tv using my Evo as a modem. I don't think it will work to well. I will be using an hd antenna for the early games on ABC, NBC, and CHAT. I will report my results once I attempt the Evo tether.
They were selling the authentic Nike jerseys for $24.99. I found Henne and Hart in white and Manningham in blue. Could not believe that those stores were selling the swingman and authentic jersey for the same price.
Do not buy from that seller (or beltmaynard-same person). I bought that same jersey, it's a really cheap knockoff (think Steve and Barry with fake Nike tags). I got it for $26, but not even worth that price. This might be the best one on Ebay right now (but priced too high):
My wife teaches at Plymouth High School and she says he is DEFINATELY headed to Ann Arbor. I wasn't supposed to say anything, but I couldn't resist for my first post (long time reader).

That is sad, but true.
Congratulations, you played yourself!

I am interested in the single ticket, just let me know how much.

I still remember watching him play basketball in high school. He was truly a man amongest boys back then.
Good luck getting Pryor's 2010 Big Ten championship ring back if this is the case.
Is it me or does this guy sound kinda like DMX?
I am at work and I cannot stop laughing at this post. RIP Frank the angry dwarf.

Top row, aisle seat. No one in front of you at all. Just make sure you don't drink too much, its a long way down.

The HTC EVO is my first smart phone and I cannot live without it. I hardly use my laptop anymore.

I to am guilty of overdoing it with HGTV.

This kid is going to suprise a lot of people.
I think Marvin Robinson is the #15 saftey and Josh Furman is the #3 LB. Just my take.
