I had a class with Renes while at UM. He was super nice, participated in group discussions, etc. Pretty much the model of what you want a student athlete to be
2) hang M flag (one side has a spot of blood on it. That side faces the house, not the road)
3) bike ride (have to be in the rain today here in Portland)
4) shower and get dressed. This year's undefeated wardrobe is yellow t-shirt under a blue half zip.
5) watch game with M football in hand (my hands or my son's)
6) ???
7) profit
While I believe in Providence and preparation rather than luck, and don't think my actions affect the outcome of a game, I adhere to ritual on the off chance they do.
I'm not really a uniformz guy. While I consider myself a "get off my lawn" type and think blue jersey and maize pants is perfection, the blue pants have a great win streak going. Keep it rolling the rest of the season.
I'm also one who was a huge Jordan fan in my youth and know it would never happen, but how cool would it be if Nike let UM customize jumpman logos with a silhouette of Woodson's MSU interception or Haskins hurdling a fool?
I do think the RB committee will take Utah and OSU, but do they HAVE to take the cooler poopers? If they're obligated by conference record, obviously yes. Even if not obligated by record, I think OSU is the bigger draw over IA or MSU and the clear choice, but as Gattis noted, they're a soft finesse team and UT will take their lunch money
I remember spotting it in real time back in 07. What I never realized until just now is that he may have tripped over the Sparty equipment person standing by the goalpost.
My favorite I'm sure will be the landslide winner here, 1997. Woodson and Marcus Ray doing damage in the secondary. Amazing season. My son just asked to look at all my ticket stubs from that year.
Other plans? I guess it's fair, since just last year there was NO football played on Halloween weekend (that's my story and I'm sticking to it). Last I checked, however, Halloween falls squarely during the portion of the calendar known as "football season" and therefore any Saturday plans run the risk of conflicting. Fortunately we live in the era of flying cars and DVRs, so you can at least record a game when emergencies like weddings, births of your children, trips to the vet, or youth sports schedules arise. The older I get, the healthier I realize it is to allow those "life events" to fill the calendar first, and then add in the sporting contests between 18-23 year olds I don't know personally.
yes. Was actually at that game in Camp Randall. Glad we got the W, but walked away feeling like neither team played well enough to win. Little did I know then how gladly I'd take an "ugly win" in the years that followed. Also never been sworn at so much just for wearing a blue shirt as I did in Madison that day.
Oh, the smallpox analogy is soooooo spot on. Bisb, you are truly doing the Lord's work. Thank you for the best read of any game week (save the annoyingly scarce recap of a win).
Eastern Michigan. Really get the rich recruiting base of Washtenaw County jazzed for the contest. Also, the team won't be too jet lagged from the trip. How many times have we travelled out West only to put up a stinker of a game and then had to deal with travel back, time change, etc.?
My HMO likes to put images of healthy foods on their banners. When I got my email confirming my vasectomy appointment, the banner was a picture of a sliced avocado. A bit disturbing at the time
What we need is a CFB test case. The perfect school would have to be one where players are already accustomed to contracting viruses on campus and where they also used to getting regularly poked with needles by the training staff. Lastly, the fans would also need to have a track record of leaving the stands mostly empty. I think MSU vs Rutger may be the 2020 CFB kickoff.
Moralistic arguments? You're claiming to ignore them to preserve the integrity of your economic model, but the opposite is true. You've just placed a lower price on the value of public health interest and the small handful of actual lives impacted by the short term supply and demand of a couple specific commodities. And in a very condescending way
I love all there is to unpack in Bryan's score. You'd have to go for 2 in 7OT, and if you score a winning TD, you don't even try the PAT. So to win by 4 means M scored first, but IU returned the 2 pt try for 2 of their own, then failed to score themselves? And through 6OT it was 23-23.
Fair point. Plus the kids probably focus on hockey more in state. Still, with all the university has to offer, you'd expect at least regular flirting with top 25-35 rankings. The Flecktones might be there now. Lovie's crew, not so much
'Bout dang time someone does. Minny has noooo reason to be as consistently bad as they have for decades. Huge school on a big metro campus with deep (but remote) history. Minny and Illinois are massive perennial disappointments.
Funny (not funny), I was at that game. Ugly play, mistakes on both sides. Felt like neither team deserved to win. Little did I realize that with hindsight I would look back on that level of play longingly for the next two regimes.
If for no other reason, click to see the Barry Sanders college highlights video. Ho-Ly COW! I remember Sanders was a generational talent, but those skills would make him a legend in any era.
I'm glad M rowing is apparently good, but I'm suddenly reminded of one of the most vivid dreams I can ever recall. On the eve of The Horror I dreamt I went to AA for the season opener against our little known opponent only to learn there was a mix up and there was no FB game scheduled. Rather, it was a rowing event against App State scheduled that day. Apparently the FB team had the same dream and forgot they had a game

As a cyclist who's been hit by a car (in a bike lane, with flashing lights, etc.), my only regret is that I have but one down vote to give.

Ironic that the treatment is a blue pill

Win: say "wow, Schiano is 74 and 74 as head coach at Rutgers"
Loss: say "how the h3!! does Schiano have a winning record at Rutgers?!"

Some very good suggestions here which I will be passing on to my work team. Thanks for sharing

Nice as that would be, I just don't see a middle aged softball coach pulling that play off. Oh, wrong Hutch. Never mind.

Standard text books there, regardless of major
Since my avatar's name is Schemmy, I say neat
Same week Chris Carter makes news. You'd think with that history Chase would've had a fall guy for this.
What a cud-tastrophe
Would be nice. Unfortunately I think the more likely result of Gattis's history there is that PSU's defense is more familiar with his tendencies.
A top coach recognizes the punt as the most important play in football. B1G owns the market for top coaches
Fair point. Plus the kids probably focus on hockey more in state. Still, with all the university has to offer, you'd expect at least regular flirting with top 25-35 rankings. The Flecktones might be there now. Lovie's crew, not so much
I assume targeting does not have to be accepted by the other team to still result in that player's disqualification, so just don't hit head/neck area.
'Bout dang time someone does. Minny has noooo reason to be as consistently bad as they have for decades. Huge school on a big metro campus with deep (but remote) history. Minny and Illinois are massive perennial disappointments.

Obviously an improper method because it uses "all time" as it's measure, rather than "arbitrary date that best serves the narrative of the moment"
Anybody wonder if there's a correlation with yesterday's penultimate play?

With their D, they'd still win by over 2 scores
Assumed this was going to be a AIRBHG affecting western mid majors thread
Saw the same thing and my heart just sank. Time to rattle off a bunch of wins and restore balance to the force

Just a drop of feces in an endless poo...
Furthermore, what' it called when a defense scored more points than an offense has yards? Is it a drutger?
I believe congratulations are in order, but one question. Did you schedule before or after you learned it was a noon kickoff?
Won't everyone be surprised when MurderWolf peels off his Corso mask and says "I've always been here!"?
Just wondering, since he gets mad endorsement money for wearing them, how much would I get for walking a mile in his shoes?
If we won by 40 and every Nebraska player left on a stretcher, Frost would still claim they out hit us.
He's 0-2, soon to be 0-3 I hope, but undefeated in moral victories.
Starts as a green out, ends as a purple out (obligatory BK purple face pic).
