The song narrator is from the POV of Michigan Football

The cheating lover it refers to are all the National Championships that Michigan could have won but never had the chance to play in.

We've been jealous of all those who got to be with her every year.

But destiny is calling.

This is a huge misconception…

This is a huge misconception and not the case for the majority of overweight people. Most people who are overweight have bad genetics and can't overcome that. There are so many studies and documentaries that prove being overweight has very little to do with anything you mentioned - while they can be contributing factors - they are not the reason. Your gut biome, which is largely genetic, plays an incredible part in whether someone is fat or skinny - regardless of food choices, eating too much, or exercise. Millions of people who look fat, do eat healthy and exercise because it is healthy for them, but for most this only has marginal and mostly temporary effect on their appearance due to factors we are still in the early phases of understanding.

I imagine their list will be prioritized like so:

  1. Chris Petersen
  2. Jeff Brohm
  3. Joe Moorhead
  4. Charlie Strong
  5. Kyle Whittingham

I'd bet it all on Brohm, though. He's recruited well and has proven to be quite an offensive mind, much like Urban. Plus, I have to think all the stupid stunts he pulled last year when Michigan played them with the locker room bafoonery and Speight's medical concerns, probably looks very appetizing for a team like OSU.

Not the best:

Typography…

Not the best:

  • Typography and white-space across the board needs some serious designer TLC.
  • The banner + nav takes up literally half my screen space. I know the banner is cool and all, but I value content more and would much prefer the shrunken version (after scrolling) to stay like that all the time.
  • The other half of my screen are highlighted articles (right under the nav bar) that I've already read that do not include the latest post. I literally can't see the latest post until I scroll quite a bit. If Beilein had taken the Pistons job I'd have no freakin' clue.
  • Also hidden: diaries and board posts. If you cut the highlighted boxes to 3, shrunk them a bit, you could then bring up the sidebar to be visible -- but then it'd only show the HTTV ad, so what would that even matter right?
  • The main content areas and the comments bother the hell out of me. Why are the shadows there different than the sidebar shadows? Why aren't they squared off with a slight color so I know where content begins and ends? Why is it so wide and so close to the sidebar areas?

Not the worst:

  • Haven't used it much, but the mobile version is obviously a big step up (though it still has the main issue of hiding most recent posts).
  • Site is much better technically speaking. Much faster.
  • The main MGoBoard page works better.
  • The nav bar (after you scroll down with the logo) is really sweet looking (even if that logo is about 30% too large. And I noticed the nice, subtle CSS animations in certain places.
  • The design sense is on the right track at least. Good font choices. Stripes on sidebar are a nice compliment. The site just needs a LOT of tweaking and tightening, IMO.
Ref effect

My real question about this is whether or not one-sided ref calls like this have a statistical effect on a team's play and ability to make shots.

Sure, you can chalk this up to bad shooting and just point to the numbers, but before the ref show described above we had the game contained and had made some really tough shots.

When the refs give one team carte blanche defensively and putting the other team's defense on a tight leash, that has to have some kind of quantitative effect on overall confidence and shooting for players on both teams, right?

I'm still waiting for an answer on why he gave Sansa to the Boltons. What strategic advantage did he gain from doing that?

Why not bring some ravens with them? Why didn't they all take horses beyond the wall?

This show has been a mess for a few seasons, it feels more now like True Blood than Medieval The Wire. The writers are obviously just mailing it in at this point and want to move on. 

The technical quality (effects, cinematography, etc) has been stellar though.
