@TCGuy, are you mayhaps in Traverse City? If so this Elk Rapids M fan would love to watch a game with you sometime. Most of the people I've met up here are unfortunate Sparties. cron2wr (gmail) - reach out if you'd ever want to connect!
if I were to rank the weather in all 50 states, Florida would be right there at the bottom. Hot, humid, rainy... just terrible. Give me Michigan 8 days a week.
Acker is an egocentric turd who just wants to get his face in more Crain's Detroit articles. The regents as a whole are an insanely rich bunch of faux-progressive stuffed shirts. They are Warde and Warde is them, and this is the reason Harbaugh isn't our coach anymore.
If this is true, I can't tell you how disappointed I am that it isn't pronounced "Boo-tay." Epic name. Also, I can't be the only one who thinks it's super funny he bet on himself to get over 82.5 yards and then didn't hit 20. This is a man who shouldn't be gambling.
Lads, what section numbers? We are tailgating in blue lot 1 beforehand if you're looking for free shots and Michigan-friendly company. I'll be the guy with the turnover buffs, Lions flag, and a big bottle of Jameson.*
(*apparently, they don't sell big bottles of Jahmyr or Amon-Ra)
"Sources" (AKA my nephew who hangs out in sordid Lions-oriented corners of the Internet) tell me the crowd is expected to be roughly 25% Detroit fans. Notoriously loud Detroit fans.
Frisco fans are spoiled and I don't expect the same level of enthusiasm from that bunch.
So even with the Lions fans being as rabid as they have been this year, ticket prices at Ford Field dropped pretty significantly in the hours before the game. I don't know if the same effect will happen in San Fran, but given how spoiled they've been with playoff games lately, maybe the big ticket hunger won't be as pronounced and you'll get lucky. We need all the Lions fans we can get in the house!
I'm thinking Lions shirt, under Lions sweatshirt, with Barry jersey completing the ensemble. Considering dying hair blue like Amon-Ra but not sure I want THAT much attention after Sunday.
Wow, that is one helluva offer! I'll check in with the other fella I'm going with (his car/he's driving) and get back to you on the parking. I like your suggestion to head down there early and make friends with somebody TV tailgating.
Yeah I like how when they asked him about whether the Bills needed another first down to yield a makeable kick, he didn't hesitate in answering "yes." No equivocation.
Great question, and one that's been asked regularly here in Michigan lately. The answer is Lions 100%. And part of the reason can be seen in the responses in this here thread. I love M football but our fans are mostly spoiled snobby pricks who complain when other fans shit on us but never hesitate when they get a chance to do the shitting. When we're good, our fans are (maybe) tolerable but when we're losing, our fans are insufferable.
Despite all the losing over the years, Lions fans are loyal as they come, and in fact all the losing has giving them a humility that the Michigan fanbase will never have.
My 81-year-old mother has been a Lions fan since she was 5 years old, and asks me every year at the beginning of the season, is this the year? I'd like nothing more than for her to see the Lions answer that question with a Super Bowl ring.
This Yahoo! article is Dumb with a capital D. First of all, the line has hardly moved at all after the initial shift, which is a completely common thing that happens after lines are released. We're *still* a 1.5 point favorite on all of the popular online books. where would you have put it? Because I would have put it at around exactly where it is. 2 good teams, neutral field, not much in the way of extenuating circumstances; it's basically a coin flip.
Also, if 80% of spread money had actually come in on Alabama, it would have moved the line further in their favor. There's no cabal of shifty dudes named Johnny Vegas hanging outside the Luxor setting lines; it's algorithms seeking to balance the betting books the same way humans used to do it, but more quickly and accurately.
Well, lots of people. People who make bets, people who take bets. Sports commentators. People who discuss sports things on message boards. People who are looking for insight as to where sentiment is or has shifted. You can learn a lot from lines that goes well beyond their function in gambling.
Betting lines are like Wikipedia: may not reflect reality 100% of the time, but often the most up-to-date and accurate information you'll find on a very specific topic, and self-corrects quickly.
Why would you bother posting this comment in a long thread about the thing you're purporting not to care anything about?
3.5 is just begging the bettor to take OSU. As M fans I think we should take that as a good sign about what Vegas thinks. I'm still happiness hedged to the hilt, but at 3.5 we can win AND win some money.
I think we found one of the fuck turds with "Redskins" posters all over his wall. You keep fighting that fight, man, I'm sure it's doing you a lot of good.
I don't like the outcome because I was looking forward to the fight, and I don't think Harbaugh should have gotten punished at all. But maybe the reason we took this is that the punishment isn't all that bad in the first place? He gets to coach all week, he's got very competent replacements for game day (as demonstrated four times already this year), and he's fully back for the conference championship and CoFoPo. If the Penn State game was any indication, his absence cast him as a martyr and may have served as additional inspiration for the team's performance. Further, this removes the Big Ten from the equation when it comes to any additional punishments (I mean, for this; I'm sure they'll come up with some more unjustified bullshit down the line). Petitti takes the out offered by our spineless Grimace of an athletic director, and the blog threads can go back to actual football. It's not exactly fine but it's...*fine, I guess.*
Fair point, although I went a different way with it and just put a $5 free bet on Iowa at +1600. Since they're basically already in the game, seems like a reasonable lottery ticket with little skin required. I'm sure this has nothing to do with my attendance at the 2016 game at Kinnick where the stadium announcer read "Akrum Wadley 7 yards on the carry" about 300 times. PTSD. PTSD.
Stating this a different way, a $100 winning bet on M at -210 yields ~$147.62 (of which 100 is your original stake, so net winnings of 47.62). A $100 winning bet on OSU at +170 yields $270 (100 original stake, net winnings of 170) and untold misery.

Sounds like alpha Robbie's had his creatine injection for the day.
Well, there's dumb, and there's Pete Prisco dumb. Listen to about 30 seconds of him delivering hot takes and you'll fully comprehend.
She sounds like a keeper.
Does your wife enjoy the 75 incher, or is that a bit too much for her?
Let's refrain from anal orgies and child sacrifices, at least until Warde hires a successful softball coach.

No. He took the job without having any idea what was going on here, nor asking any questions about it. He's a real leap before you look kind of guy.
underrated show!
Afternoon open skate at Yost is awesome (even if you can barely skate).
scheinfreud = "shiny happiness," or the pleasure one takes from light.
scheinfreund = "shine friend"
Schadenfreude = probably the word you're looking for.

Nice work SFBlue, see you at the game!

He's being an asshat and referencing the score from the last NFC championship game the Lions played in, losing to Washington.
in case you lose a game of fart tennis?

I feel ya - our local outdoor ice rink finally froze over but the forecast pretty much means it'll be mush by the weekend.

That's the spirit.
Outstanding information, thanks! Are you going to the game as well? We're in section 406.
Yeah I like how when they asked him about whether the Bills needed another first down to yield a makeable kick, he didn't hesitate in answering "yes." No equivocation.
ATL is at -300 to get Belichick. if you think he won't be the coach of an NFL team next year, you can get +600
Updated odds from DraftKings as of 11:28 pm Thu. night:
LAC -250
Stays at M +175 ("No NFL team")
ATL +700
Any other NFL team +1500
LVR +2000
(and several with longer odds)
I guess Vegas is still in play! My $ is going on "stay."

Go Honolulu Blue! Beat the Rams!
I know you were delivered via your mother's rectum, and that's why the children at school called you butt baby.
"jerk off to Progressive insurance commercials."
"lose to Andrew Whitworth in pickleball."
"eat the chin before continuing to the rest of the corpse."
Definite take. For what it's worth, one of State's best players.

I'm not following the balloon metaphor.
I felt like we needed more Moore.
I completely agree.
3.5 is just begging the bettor to take OSU. As M fans I think we should take that as a good sign about what Vegas thinks. I'm still happiness hedged to the hilt, but at 3.5 we can win AND win some money.
I think we found one of the fuck turds with "Redskins" posters all over his wall. You keep fighting that fight, man, I'm sure it's doing you a lot of good.
hey that's how your wife describes me too!
"Moar lube, pleez."
I am so looking forward to the expanded playoff format that more or less demands the full strength of its competitors.
I don't like the outcome because I was looking forward to the fight, and I don't think Harbaugh should have gotten punished at all. But maybe the reason we took this is that the punishment isn't all that bad in the first place?
