Have the same and this is…

Have the same and this is about the exact review I would write.

Agreed.  I'll be in Lowell…

Agreed.  I'll be in Lowell after work for baseball and would have gladly done it for another fan of the Boys in Blue.  

 

I don't get all the negs.

Better than a solid get. …

Better than a solid get.  Impact player here.

1) hope he is all healed up…

1) hope he is all healed up from whatever ankle/knee thing he sustained vs. PSU

 

2) Loveland is a beast.  

Meh, if he played for…

Meh, if he played for Michigan we'd love him.  But....he didn't, so fuck him.

Username checks out....so no…

Username checks out....so no, they don't.  Sorry, Sam has basically been begging someone in SE Detroit with some business connections to step up for this recruitment and it just never happened.  Oh well, we will be fine.  Too bad I think he's a difference maker.

Yep, that's all that matters…

Yep, that's all that matters.  Day shot his shot...and did major damage.  Thing is though, that animal is still breathing.  Still hungry.  Now angry.  Win next week and NONE of this matters in the long run.  OSU will be in major panic mode when that happens.  It will be glorious to watch.

I'm on board with most of…

I'm on board with most of this.  However, the thing that hurts me is they broke rules and got caught with their pants down.  I hate that.  This team needed NOTHING to beat the teams they've beat so far.  NOTHING.  I know we can hold tight that everyone "cheats" to some degree, but to get caught on something that everyone already does just sucks.  Firing back at everyone with some kind of ominous "binder of doom" would only make us look worse.  Unfortunately, we have to march on and just focus on the games, which I think they win (including OSU).  

No way JH is back next year.  And that's a damn shame, this team is built just the way he likes it.  

I’ll go 26-6.  Nasty weather…

I’ll go 26-6.  Nasty weather.  

Love it.  IMO none of them…

Love it.  IMO none of them look bad (maybe all maize but once in a blue moon is fine). 

That's honestly uncanny.  

That's honestly uncanny.

24-20 UM.  Trimming nails Friday night.

Sam has been dropping not so…

Sam has been dropping not so subtle hints to companies in and around Michigan to get rolling on this kid regarding NIL.  The clock is ticking and there are only a few months left until he commits, IIRC.  

 

I kinda know how this movie ends.  Hope I'm wrong...

Looking for (4) for Rutgers…

Looking for (4) for Rutgers.  Reconnected with a long time friend whose 20 year old son has never been.  

Same thing but on a bottle…

Same thing but on a bottle of his wine.  He's still the man.

I'm with all of you that…

I'm with all of you that this is a load of shit.  But it won't matter.  In fact, IF this team is as mature and focused as I think they are, these first 4 teams are in for a worse beating than otherwise expected.  Focus, ferocity, domination.  Not just by the starters either.  Make a statement.

What a great ambassador for…

What a great ambassador for Michigan.  This dude LOVES UM and his team.  His smile is just pure joy and his play is electric.  Buckle up kids, this team is different, top to bottom.  I can't wait to sit back and enjoy the ride.  

This is the answer. …

This is the answer.  Actually had a chuckle on that one.  Well done.

Never got the whole 110,000…

Never got the whole 110,000 going but had quite a few with the "can't read, can't write" one.  However, the best is screaming "WE OWN" when Penn St. is in town.  After about the third time, all the PSU fans that were once chanting with you finally paid enough attention to what was being said and went about their way, often with a "thumbs up, that was good".

Not gonna lie, I thought…

Not gonna lie, I thought this was a joke at first.  

Nautique G23 (avatar checks…

Nautique G23 (avatar checks out).  Surf, board, cruise.  Top notch craftsmanship.  Out of my budget but someday…

 

currently have an older boat from the same company and the family and friends have a blast on it.  In laws live on a lake so storage and access is prime. 

This is a package deal I…

This is a package deal I hope works out.  

Highlander, we are coming up…

Highlander, we are coming up on one of the most anticipated seasons in recent memory (IMO anyway) with a TON of returning talent and you are looking at the following year already???  Man, stop and smell the roses for a minute.  Damn.

I think its the way the…

I think its the way the burnt orange contrasts it.  Of course tons of teams do all whites.  Hell Michigan rocks it.  But to me the Texas ones look.....different/better.

Texas all whites

Texas all whites

Get Williams out of the…

Get Williams out of the goddamned game.

Unfortunately I think they…

Unfortunately I think they come up short.  Losses at UI and IU is my prediction.  Win one and then lose one in the BTT and we are done.  

 

Loved the development of Dug and Kobe along with Reed.  Hunter and Jett can bolt if they want, hope Kobe stays one more year.  Not the year anyone wanted and man does that CMU loss sting along with the collapse against IU.  Oh well, get better next year.

I should be able to hook you… I should be able to hook you up. Let me know what you would like.
You bastard.

You bastard.

 

Upvote from me.

I like em.  I liked the…

I like em.  I liked the maize accessories with the whites this year too.  

Man...I listen to Franklin…

Man...I listen to Franklin talk and he just comes off (at least to me) as the biggest douche I can think of in terms of coaching.  Everything just sounds so fake.  Cannot stand him.

 

Hope he kicks another FG down 30 on saturday.

Yep, classic look.  I like…

Yep, classic look.  I like the white jersey with maize pants and maize socks/sleeves as well.  

Shit you're right.  MB. …

Shit you're right.  MB.  IWTTDB.

RW is one of my favorite WRs on the team but man that room is deep and am stoked to see Anthony, Clemons, maybe Walker, Henning, etc. to get some more action.  

What about last years…

What about last years Rutgers, Nebraska and MSU games last year......

 

We will be fine.

Youngest had his first taste…

Youngest had his first taste of HS football yesterday.  48-0, good start.

Also one of my favs from the…

Also one of my favs from the RR era....Tay Odoms.  Man, I loved that dude, him and Vinny Smith.  Part of the Pahokee Pipeline IIRC.  

 

Quick story, at the OSU game back in 2011 with wifey (OSU fan) and others.  My dad and his pal didn't go into the game, they stayed back at the tailgate to watch on TV and cook food for the afterparty.  Anyway, wife can't drink that early without issues so after half she had a headache and wanted to go back to the tailgate and watch there.  Fine.  I need more beer anyway.  While there we always had players and parents pass the tailgate.  Well, we had a tent set up with some sides on it that butted up to the trailer with the TV and all that stuff.  A couple popped their heads in to check on the game as they could hear the audio and cheering from our crew.  Turns out it was Tay Odoms' parents.  Offered libations...they obliged.  I guess the parents were supposed to go meet at someplace in the football building.  Well, they gonna be late.  Stayed til the end of the game cheering, hugging, sharing stories and food and drink.  Great people.  I know, tl;dr, downvote away....9 effing days.  Let's go!!!

(checks avatar)...love…

(checks avatar)...love boating.  We have a wakeboard/surf/ski boat and it's been great.  Great times with family and friends cruising, sand bar hangouts or any number of kids doing watersports behind it.  I have thought about upgrading but these new rigs are $200k+ and all the electronics make me nervous. 

Bombay Sapphire and red…

Bombay Sapphire and red grapefruit juice tonight while at the travel baseball end of year party.  Team is pissed, kid is going with a different organization next year.  Oh well, parents are cool.  Food on the grill.  Probably a cuban as well, one of the parents has some amazing cigars.  

Reverses and mis-direction. …

Reverses and mis-direction.  End of play calling.  Maybe a pass or two off the reverse if you have a capable youngster.  Been there, done that.  

 

Our bread and butter (if you can get someone to get the shotgun snap down) is have the offset RB and WRs all on one side (trips and we usually stacked them on the short side).  QB lifts leg, inside WR goes in motion to the QB.  Snap comes, it takes an hour of practice to get the timing.  Play one is a draw to the RB.  Run kid.  Play two fakes the handoff and then gives to the motion man (your fastest kid) with the wide side of the field to juke and make things happen.  Play 3, fake both handoffs and try to hit one of the WRs on a route, we ran one shallow cross and one deeper cross.

I was debating whether or…

I was debating whether or not the highlight was intended to be the logo but I decided negative on that one.  Could be though.

That pic has gotta be up…

That pic has gotta be up there for most Jumpman logos in one pic, I got 7.

They sounded like dog shit…

They sounded like dog shit when they were introduced in 2011.  Hell I remember going to a spring game/practice or whatever during the big remodel.  I remember walking to the stadium and I could hear this music coming from the stadium and I was like...sweet, new sound system must be up and running even though the scoreboards weren't in. 

Nope, they brought in a tiny portable sound system for the spring game.  Ok, no big deal, I was just imagining what it was going to sound like when the ACTUAL built into the scoreboard audio was fired up.  Man was I wrong.  Somebody fucked that thing up in a huge way.  They need to fix it.

PUBG Mobile for me.  Always looking for teammates.

Pork tenderloin on the grill with olive oil and balsamic vinegar glazing.  Roasted broccoli and sweet potatoes.

 

Crown and Zevia cola in the glass.  

 

Go Blue

 

EDIT*** Costco guy above me...pick up a package of the marinated skirt steak.  Grill it and chop it up for fajitas/tacos.  Needs no other seasoning.   Thank me later.  

Must be divine intervention…

Must be divine intervention but the fam is staying in the Keys for Christmas in lieu of presents.  Can't believe we ended up in Miami, probably gonna have to make a roadie from Marathon for the game.  

This is awesome.  You can…

This is awesome.  You can actually see how much he and Cade are enjoying their time.  It's incredible.  Props to JJ for doing something so selfless.  Good job kid.

Agree on both counts.

Agree on both counts.

Not gonna lie, I thought…

Not gonna lie, I thought someone inserted the fake twang thing over the real audio.  I thought....no fucking way is that real.  I'm dying over here.  How can you honestly even look these people in the eye and think they will believe ANYTHING you say.

Also, the whole "I haven't won all my games yet" is super cringy.  

That's some good ish right…

That's some good ish right there.  Tons of good stuff.
