It did move to -5.5 last night (at FanDuel), but it actually just shifted back to -4.5 this morning.

Same here. I'm always the most nervous when we are favored to win. 

I would also say you have 3…

I would also say you have 3 wealthy alumni bases there.

As a Pats fan, it definitely feels strange rooting for losses.

Such an obvious fake. Especially since he is last off the bus.

I do the same. I call it a happiness hedge. But I’m always happy to lose the money.

In reply, Michigan is not going to go quietly into the night. Easily the most lawyer-packed fan base of any of college football’s historic powers, there is not a single Michigan fan in the world who has not been girding for war over this story for weeks. These are the most litigious people in college sports, and the lawyers who will represent the school as it wages a holy war are an all-star team of these football-obsessed Juris Doctorates (plus, probably, some expensive outside counsels who have been loyalty-tested). The Big Ten’s lawyers are in for hell.

Yesterday was also the 30th anniversary of A tribe called quest’s Midnight Marauders. 

JJ’s odds on FanDuel were…

JJ’s odds on FanDuel were first after the MSU game. Penix jumped him after his game last week. So I don’t think all this is affecting his odds. 

They may be mostly BS, but…

They may be mostly BS, but they are the rankings that make the most sense to me. 
 

Not like the recent WSJ list, which had Florida as the top public school. 

Is the peacock feed going to…

Is the peacock feed going to be 1-2 plays behind?

When I have watched sports on YouTube TV, I notice the feed is typically a play behind. So not ideal if you look at scores on apps, follow Twitter, etc. I can see the play result on a score app first. 

We were the first college to…

We were the first college to have partnerships with peloton and lululemon. Companies like our well-off alumni. 

I've never been a tournament…

I've never been to a tournament before, but a family member got us VIP tickets for the Tour Championship in Atlanta next weekend. We'll have tent access with food and drink provided.

I'm really looking forward to it, since there will be all the top players there.

And you can stay in a cheap…

And you can stay in a cheap hotel room if you want. 

I don’t like it over…

I don’t like it over thanksgiving weekend. We are often visiting family out of town, and I don’t get to get crazy while watching the game. 

All the Boston teams. 

All the Boston teams. 

Yep it’s like people saying …

Yep it’s like people saying “Hotlanta”. 

I’d be really surprised if…

I’d be really surprised if we aren’t the early game. TCU is not a national draw by any means. 

Ehh I’m not excited about…

Ehh I’m not excited about getting in as a one-loss 4 seed and getting drilled by Georgia again. 
 

If we lose to osu, I’d rather play a winnable rose bowl vs USC.

A free long commercial for U-M. 

Yes, I started with parlays…

Yes, I started with parlays on a paper sheet in high school. But I'm a very casual better. I bet no more than $500 in any given year. That is well within my entertainment budget.

The ringer podcast is calling this episode the best in the show’s history. 

I don’t think the Saturday…

I don’t think the Saturday schedule has a prime slot. 

I thought about this too…

I thought about this too. Would you rather be a Feb ‘21 or Feb ‘22 Michigan fan?

I'm a Pats fan, and they…

I'm a Pats fan, and they have been far from hot (only win in last 4 games was vs Jags). The really cold temps may help though.

I was drawn in by the brand…

I was drawn in by the brand name of the school. The combo of academics and sports made it a cool school in the northeast.
 

Plus I was very familiar with Ann Arbor as I had family there (though I never actually visited campus until freshman orientation). 

I think Georgia wins. But I…

I think Georgia wins. But I'm rooting for Alabama, primarily because I don't know a single Bama fan. So I don't have to hear any of the gloating. 

I’m rooting for Alabama. I…

I’m rooting for Alabama. I don’t know a single Bama fan so their success doesn’t bother me. 

You can’t. You can’t get…

You can’t. You can’t get live espn from espn plus. 

How late are bars open? I…

How late are bars open? I see Yard house closes at 11:30 pm on Sat’s. If we win I’d love to have some post-game beers while I wait out the Uber surge.

Fanatics. Easy to get coupon codes there

mden for lululemon/brooks brothers/sport-specific items

Mitten State for butter soft tshirts and sweatshirts 

Exactly. I love watching…

Exactly. I love watching teams like Texas, FSU, etc lose.

Is the feed off the Fox Sports app a few seconds behind a non-streaming feed? I hate getting texts about plays that I haven't seen yet. 

Agreed, I have no idea what…

Agreed, I have no idea what OP is talking about. Maybe he is referring to young kids not being diehard Michigan football fans anymore. That's the only angle I can think of in regards to his strange comment. 

I wasn't a U-M fan until I…

I wasn't a U-M fan until I gained admission. My childhood team was Boston College actually, and I thought I was going to go there (didn't expect to get into U-M). 

Agreed. I love blends for…

Agreed. I love blends for all my clothes, from tri-blend tshirts to elastine blend jeans. It makes clothes super soft. As I've gotten older, I've placed a lot more priority on how soft and comfortable clothing is.

Honestly, 100% cotton clothing will never be as soft as blended stuff. And it doesn't shrink like 100% cotton.

I also enjoyed the intro when the announcer said we are the top rated public university in the nation.

We bought last August. Our family had been renting a small apt after selling our previous home in a different suburb. 

I’m grateful we were looking then and not now, because the inventory stinks now. 

I read recently they may…

I read recently they may move it to the top 6% soon. The issue is the yield is too high with 10%. 

Agreed. A lot of posters…

Agreed. A lot of posters were saying we would lose to LSU without Livers. 

Agreed, but they could move…

Agreed, but they could move us to the late slot due to the name brands involved.

Yes Chick-Fil-A is definitely known for their excellent customer service and speed of orders. The food is very tasty and has reasonable prices also.

So annoyed that they blew this game. I love seeing Georgia lose.
