 With the obvious Canadian…

 With the obvious Canadian spelling, ("Favourite"), just a question. Are you in Fergus, ON? I am heading there next week. Lol

 

 I've always liked Double…

 

 I've always liked Double D's

 (Just sayin')

 Doubly so.
 Wonder if his…

 Doubly so.
 Wonder if his folks had a thing for whisky. Lol

 The only way I see him…

 The only way I see him heading back to the coaching ranks is as an adjunct to help out is son Patrick Beilein if needed. Not sure why he stepped down from Niagara but if he is having difficulty getting back in, I can see John stepping in anyway possible to help him land a program.

 Otherwise, I agree with you, he does the analyst/faculty/retire gig and enjoys his family.

 

 Mine too, but someone…

 

 Mine too, but someone guessed him previously. He's the kind of guy you'd like to have a beer, debate with, and would also be able to tactfully take away your keys if you'd had too many. 

 

 Maybe try the book,…

 

 Maybe try the book, Niels Bohr and the Philosophy of Physics by Jan Faye also.

 

 Happy Easter. Remember…

 

 Happy Easter. Remember to smile and look for the good in these times.

 

 Very cool and heart…

 

 Very cool and heart-warming

 Agree. Also believe it…

 

 Agree. Also believe it was an attempt at April Fool to spice up boredom during this quarantine time.

 

 But you're not the head…

 

 But you're also not the head or "face" of a football program at a southern school where there's known history of such in not too distant past.

 

 What happened to Michael…

 

 What happened to Michael Thompson from OU? I thought we were pursuing him? He's from the same class and in transfer portal. Anyone have any idea where he's leaning?

 

 That or small children…

 

 That or small children got at Brian's computer and self posted.

 

 YES!  I saw that also…

 

 YES!  I saw that also and I couldn't believe it! Everyone was almost piled on each other behind a fence trying to line up shot or video. Also, saw a bunch of nursing home workers come out and crowd around one another to get pictures of police and emergency vehicles doing a "lights and sirens" parade to honor their work in New York.

 

 Yes, have heard it…

 

 Yes, have heard it called that also.

 

 Oh yes. Lots of flight…

 

 Oh yes. Lots of flight ops. We were almost continually deployed. As we were homeported in a forward station we became the "first response carrier" and would relieve other carrier battle groups as they left or came on station. We didn't go for as long but we went continually. It was great as a single guy as I got to see many places and experiences. It was tougher on the married guys as they would get home and then deploy again within 3 months. She's now Naval Aviation Museum in downtown S.D. I have a condo in San Clemente and whenever I am there I am a docent on the Midway. Amazing that she still feels somewhat like home to me.

 Were you Navy also?

 

 

 Is there any other way?…

 

 Is there any other way? Exact way we would play. We'd have the entire floor into it.

 

 USS Midway, yes it's an…

 

 USS Midway, yes it's an aircraft carrier, CV-41. I was stationed on her and we were homeported in Yokosuka, Japan, back during the Golf War. I believe this was taken while we were anchored off Hong Kong.

 

 +1 Used to love hearts…

 

 +1 Used to love hearts. Haven't really played it since undergrad or occasionally while deployed in the military.

 

 There is a card game…

 

 There is a card game called Oh Hell, it's sort of a cross between Euchre and Spades where you have bid tricks you will take each hand and amount of cards in each hand changes. It's great for most ages and works with up to 6-7 people. I have attached a link to rules. Oh Hell Rules

 Another game for most all ages is 31. You get 3 cards and have knock when you believe you don't have lowest hand.  31 Rules

 If I am just with another person I enjoy Cribbage and a board game called Mastermind,

 

 

 I am not a hunter, but…

 

 I am not a hunter, but my housemate in med school was. I must say as much as I love turkey, I was very disappointed in the ones he'd get for us. They were the toughest meat I may have ever eaten. Now his venison sausage and chili were terrific.

 

 Early SNL may have been…

 

 Early SNL may have been one of the funniest, most inventive cast I can remember on TV. It seemed every skit was hysterical and the characters that were created and writing iconic.

 

 Still hear they are…

 

 Still hear they are coming back with another season, but haven't got any concrete time frame. Do you?

 

 +1 that may be the best…

 

 +1 that may be the best combo I can remember. The ppl and characters were awesome.

 No considering the title, I thought you were going to do it "Three" times.

 No considering the title, I thought you were going to do it "Three" times.

 

 No considering the title…

 

 No considering the title, I thought you were going to do it "Three" times.

 

 Question your "Highly…

 

 Question your "Highly underrated" statement. It went for 11 seasons and won numerous Emmys. Don't think that's underrated.

 

 What, you forgot "Green…

 

 What, you forgot Green Acres? Would watch it every Noon-hour in a high school lounge on re-run.

 Apple (AAPL) was at a great…

 Apple (AAPL) was at a great low last week of $225 when I bought and still is around $250. It will be back up to the $320 range. Also if Boeing (BA) drops below $100 again it would be a great buy. Also, doubled down on my Costco (COST) and Visa (V) holdings.

 I like this five also but…

 

  I like this five also but would have to give serious consideration to Rudy T over Tarpley.

 

  You miscounted XM. You…

 

  You miscounted XM. You forgot to include me.
 I thought I was the exclusion in the line, "...we can't all move Up North with XM"

 

 Do you mean women of…

 

 Do you mean women of color, or you personally,... just checkin' ;)

 

 Do they have to lose…

 

 Do they have to lose twice? Who wins the tie-breakers with UM?

 

 Me too. Great Job Alex!

 

 Me too. Great Job Alex!

 

 You don't consider Tony…

 

 You don't consider Tony Packo’s a dog shop?

 

 I can't upvote this…

 

 I can't upvote this enough to represent how much I have always agreed with this thought. Thought then and even more now,  he's so much the "heart" and "compass" of Michigan basketball and even in ways the university. Juwan is one of the people that makes me proud to be an alum.

 It's been vocalized by the…


 It's been vocalized by the people he's contacted during recruiting also. Numerous recruits or parents have expressed similar. Just the other day we read Josh Christopher stating

“Juwan is just a great dude,” Christopher said. “I think he is a real selfless person. He doesn’t have to be like that. He’s just a great person..."


 I feel same and think we are lucky he's returned. He's just class in every way.
 

 

  He had a 5-Star DE…

 

  He had a 5-Star DE Transfer in the works from Bama, Antonio Alfano. I've been watching for that as not sure how far along it was and whether he can get him to swing to MSU instead.

 

 Who was the last NHL…

 

 Who was the last NHL goalie to consistently play without a mask?  Wasn't it Gump Worsley?

 

 No it doesn't look like…

 

 No it doesn't look like many students. I was looking for that also. Only ones I'd say are in #14 and #6, with their "bobby-socks and saddle shoes".

 That bottom one looks like…

 That bottom one looks like the governor, George Romney.

 edit:  Duh, thats why it says it in the preceding paragragh. :P

 

 Even in hospitals, on…

 

 Even in hospitals, on wards and patient rooms. I remember going into doctor's lounges and it was heavy with smoke as late as mid 90's. They had clarion-like desks or cubicles to dictate operation reports or progress notes and the physicians on either side of you would be puffing away like chimneys.

 

 Me too. I love this gif.

 

 Me too. I love this gif.  (As he was doing it, I thought, "Oh dam, he going to trip over that cord!!")

The one approach that would…

The one approach that would have foreshortened the long period in the desert that's coming would have been throwing the school on the mercy of the courts and--more important--court of opinion, firing pretty much everybody, openly asking forgiveness of the 100s of women hurt by the school who are still, oddly, mostly neglected in these conversations. (I have a teenaged daughter; maybe that's why this has struck me so profoundly.)

 

 WTF??    I think you confused your posts! This should be in one of Sttae topics

 NO, wait until he is on…

 NO, wait until he is on campus! Like I am :P

 

 Bielema won't. Says he…

 

 Bielema won't. Says he wants the job, so go get him Sparty before he waffles.

 

 Yes, but I  WANT them to…

 

 Yes, but I  WANT them to hire Bielema.

Think it would be the best thing for the wolveri,... err, Spartans!

 

 Grew up in Metro Detroit…

 

 Grew up in Metro Detroit. Retired Navy, so have lived in several foreign countries and across the US, mostly both Coasts with a couple of two year stays for school at UM and Iowa and fellowship in Rochester, MN. Ended up in Bay Area, Santa Cruz, CA.

 He is X. Just took him…

 He is X. Just took him until 1971 to get to UM.
