Feels like losing a distant uncle that was always able to put a smile on your face.  He is missed.

$10. $100. $1000.   Pure transactional entertainment and winning a national is unique to posterity.  Beating OSU Transformational, preferred along with many commenting.  GO BLUE and to this being a captivating, easily remembered, distinguished, famous, outstanding, acclaimed, eventful, significant, legendary, and notable year for all of us to enjoy!

Always well spoken about the musicianship of that era of music.  Some dudes are just supremely talented and also sometimes a holes to those around them.  Quite common it seems.  Rest in peace.  His art will forever put a smile on the face. so good.

Mountain Jacks did have the best Prime Rib.  Worked for that Company for 15 years including the Ann Arbor location.  Still prepare the Prime Rib using that recipe every Christmas.

NO way spend both on corners…

NO way spend both on corners.  Take Tyree Wilson with 6th pick due to position value.  Tall bendy edge, think Ziggy but hopefully stays healthy.  Witherspoon has a lot going for him but is on smaller side to take so high.  Might get him at 18th pick.  Hell, they now have a shot at Jalen Carter at 18th if Cowboys don't trade up for him.  Those two DL upgrades in first and your corners only need to be good for 3.5 seconds.

To hell with CB's and top fives.  Just ask who his Madden team is and what are his favorite types of plays.  Go Blue!

Such an exciting style to witness and enjoy.  Appeared a class act while doing so.  Always rooted for him because of those traits.

Early signs from camp, Hard Knocks and first game point to a star in the making.  The skill set, desire and charisma put him on a Howie Long type path.

Favorite game attending at the shoe was Henson shredding osu and some guy in the urinals screaming he could not stand those f***** guys in those f***** yellow pants while my Michigan shirt was covered by a yellow ski jacket because it was so cold.  Guess they could not handle the weather back then either.

I get your point.  Revisionist history not withstanding most would covet the 5 star and what could be over proven high floor, limited ceiling and alright eye test production Brady performed at most of his Michigan starts.  He should have never been taking out of msu game though and that was a result of the play em cause we have too mind set that perhaps coach is trying to avoid.

Good allocated Bourbons are hard to come by these days.  Old Forrester is a favorite for the money. Pound for pound hard to beat. Great in a cocktail or however you like it. They have several special offerings like the 1920 edition that are fantastic for the money.  Typically start with one on the rocks with a splash of cola then enjoy one on the rocks, then neat, then sipping straight out the bottle.

Worked there for 4 summers while in school.  Not for money, $3.45 per hour.  3500 seasonal college aged kids with a 3 to 1 girls to boys ratio back then.  Everynight was a volleyball game or fire on the beach, bar hopping, scavenger hunts, crew parties, trips to Put in Bay, sneaking into kid arthurs court ball pit, climbing to top of Demon Drop with my favorite girl that season or going to top of the  Breakers rotunda.  Awesome hotel still,  over a 100 yr old, modern now but still some neat nooks and the Surfs up lounge.  That just may have been favorite vacation working there.  Go back with family every few years and stay at the Breakers. 

Sommieler and restaurat owner now in Texas so just off work and enjoying a Domaine Weinbach Pinot Blanc from Alsace.

Could not come up with one. Opposite answer is Edge of Tomorrow with Tom Cruise.  Extremely entertaining movie with a guy who does not have a lot to like about him.

Last couple of seasons NFL playoff underdogs are 15-3 against the spread and historically do well due to being hot going in, casual bettors, which lines are often based have season long bias vs. recent performance bias.

I was in the southwest…

I was in the southwest endzone, 7 rows up with a girlfriend who was an OSU freshman cheerleader I met while working at Cedar Point for the summer that year. Yes, she was super cute, she worked on the Space Needle, I worked Demon Drop . Awful tickets as most action on was other end of field, paid $20 each and it seemed like a lot to pay until that play and that pose.  No marshmallows because I was not in student section but was so close I could've tossed one in his face mask.  Lost the voice enjoying the best game moment ever.  Still smile big thinking about that moment, that day and that girl every time it is shown.

It's tempting to break everything down in today's life, project and let everyone know how you feel.  This is not needed this day.  Enjoy the season for the joy it brings.  If good fortune brings more victories than the alternative smile and celebrate.  If the likely result is less than a championship this year shrug, more on and appreciate the effort this great group of young people are working hard to achieve.

We learned this winter, Don't mess with Texas.  Unless you have 3-5 inches of snow, then you can totally fuck Texas up.

Gerald Ford looks like a tough son of bitch to play against.  Ironically, he was spoofed repeatedly for being clumsy but was the most athletically accomplished president.

Get it. It's unfortunate to learn those we look up to made mistakes or worse and the effects those errors have caused.  The University has an overall positive impact on society and if handled correctly we learn and grow from those past errors in judgment.  Their are evil people in the world and how the actions and behaviors of bad people are confronted and dealt with is part of our human condition.  Those awful actions should not take away from the the well intended students, professors, coaches and support staff that still deserve the backing of the Michigan community.  It is because of this opportunity to demonstrate and prove this I will be enthusiastic when rooting for everything Michigan, especially the football team even if I'm wearing a Michigan Volleyball tee-shirt doing it this season.

I told an especially obnoxious 10 yr old nephew he was a "Fart Knocker, Turd Burglar, Butt Muncher, Gonna Munch a Bunch of Butts"   It was a few years ago and he's been singing it ever since.  It stuck.

CFN was a fabulous site several years ago and a daily visit.  Unfortunately USA today absorbed them and the content declined in all the wrong ways.  It was nice to read this article there.

This is an accurate…

This is an accurate statement for sure.  It's quite a unique occurrence from a new to the job position.  Typically when one Coach or Manager in a particular field takes over a dumpster fire it is easier to win over the team, staff, fans, guests, clients, etc... vs. when you have to replace a legend.  It is nearly the opposite in this comparison yet Coach Howard is excelling regardless.  Another example of many, to demonstrate his bona fides and point to a very enjoyably successful tenure as leader of the team.

He's got to go into the draft.  Enjoy his play for the next 3 to 6 games.  GEH' BLAU!

Get it.  On St. Patrick's day.

Unless you're Irish or Catholic there is barely a reason to choose or root for that school over Michigan.  South Bend is nowhere near the town AA is.  Students are mainly confined to campus and a few blocks near school due to the locals somehow completely disdaining the Damer's, also downtown South Bend is very depressing.  Wait, I remember, the disdain comes from most of the Damer's being smug dicks.
