Makes me wonder if he had to transfer out because of his grades and is able to return. Not saying this is the case, but it wouldn't be surprising if it was.
I'm more inclined to think that they are seeing what others are willing to pay and then seeing if UM will compensate this pay. Go where you get paid the most is a good strategy if you may not make much money in the sport after graduation.
Breathe and relax. It's better to miss being the first to post something than to make mistakes when try to rush being the first one while using your smartphone. It makes you look bad.
Simply put, this is a strong reason why we need a relegation system in College Football. Keep the best teams in the top division and the top teams will play against each other in a playoff.
Learning to think critically and put these thoughts on paper is a vital life lesson and an important part of working in white collar jobs. As someone who hires, if you have a crappy cover letter, your application will quickly fall into the trash bin. This is because writing reports and completing compliance related messages are an important part of the job. Everyone should practice writing and college is a great place to do so.
Let me save you bots both the hassle and just continue how the actual discussion will go until it ends.
First commenter: "I've been under the impression I'm the only commenter on this board that is not a bot for quite some time."
Second Commenter: "That is exactly what a bot would say."
First commenter: "No, I'm definitely a real person. Why do you think I seem like a bot?"
Second Commenter: "I was mostly joking, but you do seem to post a lot and at odd hours. Makes me wonder if you ever sleep!"
First Commenter: "Ha, well I may keep strange hours but I assure you I'm human. I post whenever I have down time between my classes and part-time job. The internet never sleeps, so why should I?"
Second Commenter: "Okay, fair enough! I guess we night owls seem a bit bot-ish with our constant posting. My bad for the accusation. It's nice to meet another real person on here - feels like it's 90% spam lately."
First Commenter: "Tell me about it! Here's to proving we're part of the 10%." raises coffee mug
Eventually, there'll be laws requiring AI software to have a separate backdoor where professors can log in and verify directly if this was used or not for essay writing. It'll also be a money maker for these AI software companies. Pay Universities to get access to their personal AI check verification system.
You got it. There's a difference between coaching a player on what to say to NCAA investigators versus what to share with media. One is not allowed to do, the other is.
And here's where it pays off for not being an employee of the University, but a student. Student's aren't under a gag order, but they are probably coached to keep their mouths shut. JJ, like all the rest of the football players, probably wanted to share his thoughts about all the negativity.
Houston has a total of 3 light rail lines. All are intersecting with downtown to outlying areas within the 610 loop, but yes, nothing connecting the major airports to downtown. It's not like they've tried, but there's a lot of push back from businesses and the costs would be extraordinary for a city that loves driving.
Depends on which airport you are landing at, but yes, i think you'll make it if you dont have any baggage in the baggage claim. Hobby Airport would be the best and closest.
Answering this here. Take a short trip to Lockhart, TX and eat some real BBQ, then make your way to Houston for the game. By taking a drip south towards San Antonio, you can also get on 10hwy for a much easier commute into town. In my new post, i'll have several options for food, but depending on when you get to Houston, you may just want to check out the Museum district area.
It seems like to me that Harbaugh is looking to see if the reigns of the program is in good hands with Sherrone and then looking back to the NFL. I'd get very upset to the point of leaving if i were him. It's a lot of negative publicity and attacks that may not be worth to fight against anymore. At some point, even if you feel the attacks are unwarranted, it's deflating.
Michigan should do another "Revenge Tour" next year against all the teams in the BIG and then up and leave the conference after winning it all for the 4th time in a row.
The one area of Michigan's offense that i'm concerned about is that we do not have elite offensive tackles. Good, but not elite. It'll be interesting to see how they hold up against Purdue's edge rushers. The game could be closer than expected if this becomes a problem area. Let's see if Henderson/Barnhart passes this test. It'll add more confidence for the last three games.
That seems simple enough. Someone should take a video of the next game and send it to Ryan Day and say, "As you requested, here's Michigan's current play calling signs." Then copy a reporter.
Thank you for sharing. I work at a major research University myself, but not in admissions. It is common for juniors and seniors to transfer in and be required to take almost all the major related courses. It's just a way to control the courses taken, and it's a way to confirm that the degree was, in fact, completed at that school. We mostly get students transferring in from community colleges to begin their major degree, but as far as UM being antiquated, that is up for debate. Most Universities only want a few or no transfer credits that are major related upon a transfer in. A cross-University study would have to be done to show how UM lies in relation to all other Universities.
For example, how would Stanford handle the situation if Miles Hinton transferred there from UM?
Dave Brandon was the idiot. Brady Hoke isn't a horrible coach(as seen with SDSU), he was only meant to be a mid-major coach and nothing more. Michigan was more than what he could swallow and this turned into poor mistakes and bad decisions.
And yes, the waste of Devin Gardner's talent is very sad.
If i remember correctly, in order for Shane Morris to commit, Hoke couldn't take another QB in the prior class and not another QB in his same class? THat alone would've been idiotic.
I posted a very similar piece last year putting all teams into quadrants. This included a promotion/relegation within each quadrant so that teams are also regional to keep many of the matchups we love, together.
I appreciate the long and detailed answer. Now that you mention Hulu Live, i wonder if my wife's student status will give us way cheaper costs for the TV version. Right now Hulu is only $2 with student discount.
I was speaking directly to the bar environment. Also, since i'd feel obligated to buy a beer or two, it'd cost more than cable, lol. We have taken our son out to eat, but only during lunches. Dinner time is usually past his bed time.
It'll probably mean a Peacock trial for the first week and YTTV/Sling for the BTN games and hoping that the antenna will grab the rest of the games on CBS/FOX, given they are nationally televised.

I would've loved this if not for the bridges he burned on his way out and the way he treated JJ

Meanwhile, the NCAA told us that we should be happy to have information leaked so that our championship will be without blemish.
I wouldn't mind that our true sophomores stay for five more years.
If anyone has any opinion about anything, I will call the thought police.
I'm looking for one ticket to the game tonight. I couldn't afford the awful prices ticket prices, but will sit wherever there is a seat.

All the pubs but one has been closed and replaced with restaurants.

I agree with 93Grad. This will only get spun in a negative way for Michigan.
I copy and pasted this info
Good call on the Spec's in midtown. This place was a lifesaver during Hurricane Harvey as it remained open!
I believe the "Boomtown" coffee spot would be the best for this as they roast their own coffee and sell this around town as well.
I got a couple options in the light rail section that i mentioned, Pho Saigon and Mai's. There's also Simply Pho there that's very good.
I added a breakfast section and put Kolache Factory as an option. It's definitely a Houston thing.
oohh! Was It Pappas Delta Blues Smokehouse? I went there and loved it. I will include this on my list.

If you mean, places are so far apart that it feels like walking through a desert, then yes, lol.

Michigan against the world.
National pundits are always correct. Stats are the only thing we need to look at.

I'm just thinking to myself, what if Devin Gardner had a working offensive line? And a healthy foot for the OSU game...
Ahh, yes. Shame on me.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
I posted a very similar piece last year putting all teams into quadrants. This included a promotion/relegation within each quadrant so that teams are also regional to keep many of the matchups we love, together.

I may have a USB drive on my TV. I didn't even think this would be an option. That's great to know!
