Forcing companies to…

Forcing companies to consummate a merger is an entirely different matter than forcing soccer teams to compete in a competition. That’s effectively a services contract, hard to see specific performance ever being enforceable here. 

The first death (or…

The first death (or previously thought to be the first death) was recorded on February 29.  Since that time, more than 40,000 people have died. 

Here is some reading material (from a *right-wing* source, no less):

Hey Stan, almost 50,000 people died in a little more than a month.  Remind me again how many people die from the flu in an entire year?

Can anyone give a quick rundown on our top '21 targets and which among them we're likely to get or currently among the top favorites?  Feel like I've been laser focused on the current class.

That would make more sense, but it doesn't logically follow from the text in the article ("promising to pay $1 million a year for life to any Berkshire Hathaway employee who successfully predicts the entire Sweet 16 field"). Shitty writing by CBS. 

This seems weird - surely…

This seems weird - surely there are a lot of folks who correctly predict the Sweet 16 field, especially when it's as chalky as it is this year. That's a lot different than having a perfect bracket through two rounds. It's the first round upsets that serve as the biggest obstacle to a perfect bracket. I have a feeling CBS Sports worded the article incorrectly. 

While I don't entirely…

While I don't entirely disagree with your reasoning, I can somewhat understand a senior leader on the team bitter about not having the ball in his hands at the end of the game. Again, you're right that he is turnover prone, but I'm just saying I can understand from his perspective.

It's a weird quirk, but using an app is invariably a better experience than navigating through a site on a browser.

FWIW the decision to withdraw support of the MGoBlog app (both the original and the HD versions) will go down as one of the worst in this site's storied history. I find myself engaging with content here much less frequently than when I could simply use the app. Really dumb.

Liking listening to him and thinking his take on Urban's suspension is garbage are not mutually exclusive.

Lol? I'm not saying to put your investment portfolio in bitcoin. I'm saying use it is as a means for withdrawing your funds from Bovada. Withdraw to your wallet, then send to your Coinbase wallet and liquidate for USD. The entire process takes less than an hour. It's far superior to having them mail you a check and trying to deal with your bank asking questions about you wanting to deposit a check drawn on a foreign bank account.

GTFO.

Aside from HLS, YLS and Columbia, MLS is actually among the top feeders for SCOTUS judges, even with just three current alums having served on the highest bench. Believe we're tied for fourth place. For the record, I think an MLS prof was also on Trump's list of candidate judges.

But how much of it is Dudek versus the various positional and other coaches who are the “lead” recruiters for prospects?
Good class, no doubt, but...

Don't get me wrong - I'm thrilled with this class. But the class ranking is very likely to fall substantially over the coming months. Very few of the top players in the 2018 class have committed as of today, and once the dominos fall, the usual suspects (e.g., Kentucky, Duke, etc.) will be at the top of the rankings. I'd wager Michigan will still be top 10-15 though.

No way Even the loser of an SEC championship between undefeated UGA and undefeated Bama would probably get a bid.
Win = WC; Draw/Lose = ? I get that we qualify if we win. But what are the various scenarios if we draw or lose? Last I read it was still a good bet that we’d qualify regardless?
Yep. Flip flopping isn't new but I don't get how he can have such drastically opposite opinions within the course of a week.

Didn't he say the opposite days ago? Might be thinking of another talking head, but didn't Colin say just the other day/week that he didn't think Harbaugh would leave for Indianapolis?
Eh, not really. For the series, he's shooting 22-64 FG (34%), 9-31 3PT (29%). I am in fact a big Hawks fan, and would agree that he was terrific in the second half of the season. He was especially clutch late in games, and single handedly sparked large comebacks several times. That being said, his playoff performance has probably hurt his value as a free agent at least a little bit. I was worried that we wouldn't be able to match an offer from a more desperate team, but his poor shooting has likely lowered his price.
How is it "not a great start"...

How is it "not a great start" for either if you explicitly note that their times both fall within the range of other DBs? Lewis in particular seems to be comfortably within the range you provide. 

Lots of value in that Monaco

Lots of value in that Monaco ML, given their offensive attack. 

Treble Ultimately the highest achievement is the Treble - three trophies at the highest level of competition. For a team in England, for example, this would be winning the Premier League, the FA Cup, and the Champions League.
Can't help but think back to Can't help but think back to Herbie "breaking" the story about Les coming to M on this very same morning years ago...

Should be higher

Should be higher, IMO, but whatever. It'll happen.

 

Wonder what source they pulled the records from? 

This is not a fair

This is not a fair comparison. Tons of M fans/alums in NYC metro area who rarely get to see a live game, so when they play in NYC, there is usually a heavy turnout. I was at the Penn State game at MSG last year and thought the crowd had a healthy amount of maize and blue.

 

Obviously this is all speculation. I do suspect the attendance will be generally pretty low, but I also think that Michigan fans will account for the majority of the crowd. 

How can you come to a

How can you come to a conclusion like this almost 12 hours before the game even starts? Out of the four squads in the 2k Classic, I'd reckon that Michigan is more likely than any other to have a large amount of fans in attendance. 

True, it's a pretty meh assortment of teams, and lots of tickets are still available on the secondary market - at a very cheap price currently - but I still think there will be proportionally more M fans than Pitt, Marquette, or SMU fans.

Question for you guys: if the Question for you guys: if the entire group (Trey, Nik, Mitch, GR3, THJ) stays at least one more year, do you think any, or even all, would be significantly better in the league than they are now?
I'm afraid it might be time I'm afraid it might be time to resign ourselves to the fact that Nik/Trey/Mitch/GR3 are never going to be studs in the league. Frankly
I'm just happy to see that THJ has found a situation where he can be very effective off the bench.
This is a lofty aspiration This is a lofty aspiration for Nik. Korver was a deadeye shooter from the moment he stepped in the league, and now - obviously - is one of the best in the game.

And further to that point, many of the individual members of these defunct fraternities are unfairly grouped with those members who are most responsible for digracing the entire organization. I knew plenty of guys in SAE who were legitimately good people and weren't involved in the shit that brought about the house's demise. I'm sure the same can be said for the many other houses that have been kicked off campus and/or had their charter pulled by nationals.

Pls, tell me more. I think most recent alums would strongly disagree, even if based only on reputation.
