In theory this should be…

In theory this should be good for us as our pockets are deep.   But i can see UM being unwilling to go that route.

Can Orji catch?

Can Orji catch?

While i don't disagree with…

While i don't disagree with your general sentiment,  i do think this defense and a PSU gameplan can get us to 10-2.

Yes but i think he had moved back to WR again.

I'm only surprised it took…

I'm only surprised it took him this long. Good luck young man.

We desperately need WRs. 

I was working.  I looked out…

I was working.  I looked out the window and it was dark.  That's about it.

As a student I attended more wrestling meets than basketball and Hockey games combined.

I hear R & J screenprinting…

I hear R & J screenprinting is pretty good.

Not really, that's an inside joke in case Rishi is reading this.  Underground Printing obviously.

My priority in a car is…

My priority in a car is practically.   My wife's priority is keeping up with the Jonses.  I'm hoping the new Crown Signia meets that sweetspot for her.  She "needs" all that storage space for the zero kids we have and the AWD for all the snow we get in the metro Detroit area ( I shoveled twice this year).  Personally I like the 36 mpg and a car that will run forever with very little maintenance cost.

My fwd 09 Altima is still serving all my needs and runs fine, but I do have my eyes on a Ridgeline eventually.   Don't need a real truck, but a bed for my Home Depot runs would be nice and don't want to deal with the rough ride that comes with a real truck.  Hoping they get a hybrid before I'm in the market but it isn't looking likely with their focus on EVs.

Snow tires are a waste for…

Snow tires are a waste for people who live where snow is plowed.  They perform worse than all season tires on dry pavement.  All weather tires would be a good compromise unless someone is consistently driving through snow.

Wait, Porsche is a money pit but Audi isn't?

My wife picked UK to win it all, she is not happy right now.

Is it a race for 2nd place…

Is it a race for 2nd place like pretty much every other year?

So we are getting Orji on…

So we are getting Orji on running plays and Denegal on passing plays?

I'm just glad we are getting Orji some practice at actually handing the ball off instead of just pulling and keeping every time.

Going to be hard to find a…

Going to be hard to find a coach with the tourney going on.

I wouldn't be surprised with 100% roster turnover.

You just described every QB…

You just described every QB on our roster.  At least he has the special athlete going for him.

Really liked SevenEves but I…

Really liked SevenEves but I have a hard time recommending Stephenson to many people.  He definitely isn't for everyone.   Snow Crash probably an easier place to start with him.

A Memory Called Empire bored…

A Memory Called Empire bored me to tears.  Recursion was a lot of fun though.

Just one person's opinion so…

Just one person's opinion so grain of salt and all that...

I hated Three Body Problem.  Characters were cardboard, dialogue was wooden, story was boring.  I suspect something might have been lost in translation.  Everyone said it gets better second book so I gave it a try... even worse, DNF.

Loved Dune, it's a classic for a reason.  Can't say the same for the sequels which were a little out there.

Haven't read Shadow of the God's yet, but just finished Ruin a couple days ago.  I wouldn't put Gwynne up there with the greats in the genre like Abercrombie. GRRM, Hobb etc... his character development isn't quite there.  But still really good story teller and just a step below the best.  I'd take him over Sanderson.

Opt outs are nothing new,…

Opt outs are nothing new, have been the norm for literally decades.  That's why they have pro days.

I've seen the elderly get…

I've seen the elderly get seriously upset about loud music in the gym.  Only takes one to forget how old he is and pick a fight with some kid about it.

Only half joking, but yes kid should have earbuds and should not be assaulting old guys, no matter whose fault the fight was.

Got mine at 45. Prep was…

Got mine at 45. Prep was overrated, sure I was hungry but otherwise not horrible.

Loveland?  We got this guy…

Loveland?  We got this guy called LaPorta you might have heard of.

Kenneth Grant and Will…

Kenneth Grant and Will Johnson are the two players who are the best fit for Detroit.

Hope you have good medical…

Hope you have good medical insurance.

Put a better product on the court.

I don't really care who wins…

I don't really care who wins this year.  I think Lions fans in general are still struggling to process how we should be here right now.

 Bowen had academic issues.

 Bowen had academic issues.

Yeah he can't shoot, and…

Yeah he can't shoot, and thst sucks, but at least he wasn't the turnover machine Cade is.  Just last night he had 9 assists to 1 turnover.

Nothing wrong with NSD, it…

Nothing wrong with NSD, it just moved to December.

I was already expecting 8-4…

I was already expecting 8-4/9-3 with all the offensive turnover we had and our schedule.  If we start losing key defensive players, we might be lucky to hit that.

Maybe I should clarify I'm…

Maybe I should clarify I'm talking about when his music got political.  Hard to avoid that when listening to his music.

That sucks, really liked his…

That sucks, really liked his early stuff before he got all political.  RIP

Nope, Jeff Zuttah.  Quick…

Nope, Jeff Zuttah.  Quick google search on him... sickle cell derailed his football career but ended up with an MBA from Harvard... so seems to be doing well for himself.

Didn't we have an OL from…

Didn't we have an OL from there maybe 20 years ago who had to leave for medical reasons?

Obviously what we have been…

Obviously what we have been doing is working.  TBD if it will still work as NIL evolves and we dont.

Probably going to have to be…

Probably going to have to be a school that calls itself a "leader" to take that step.

Bad breaks happen.  When you…

Bad breaks happen.  When you are up 2-3 scores, a good gameplan can make up for that.  Ben Johnson channels his inner Harbaugh/Moore and we win that game.  Instead he went all Ryan Day.

Hopefully he learns from his…

Hopefully he learns from his play calling mistakes against the 49ers.

The last three years roster…

The last three years roster were built on recruiting pre NIL.  It's only gotten worse.

2020 Harbaugh deserved to be…

2020 Harbaugh deserved to be canned.  Fortunately we didn't get 2020 Harbaugh again.

NIL is a real thing and it's…

NIL is a real thing and it's doing us no favors on the recruiting trail.

El Hadi is starting over…

El Hadi is starting over Anderson.

Persei is such a project, I'll be shocked if he is starting. 

Damn, this is one I was…

Damn, this is one I was counting on coming back.  Hope Gentry is ready.

With Orji, turning on keeps…

With Orji, turning on keeps isn't the problem.  It's turning on handoffs that needs some work.

Can we hire whomever the…

Can we hire whomever the Ravens LB coach is to be our next DC?

Barring roster changes, I'd…

Barring roster changes, I'd probably replace Etta with Benny and Oleary with Moore.   Don't want to even guess at QB.  Otherwise looks good.

Not surprised and good luck…

Not surprised and good luck.

I do have a real fear that we will look like Iowa next year.

During a football game? …

During a football game?  Neither.  Driving in my car... I'm probably not changing the station if Mr Brightside comes on.

Damnit, was hoping he would step up and seize the opportunity.
