Great turnout for Mason. …

Great turnout for Mason.  Our community really supports our team… 

 

14 commercials played after…

14 commercials played after the Colorado/USC game was over until they sent it over to to the Michigan/Nebraska game. Unbelievable.  A full 7 minutes they could have shown of the game. 

Pick nearly any west coast…

Pick nearly any west coast beach town... St. Joseph/South Haven/Grand Haven.  Excellent beaches.   St. Joseph has a nice splash area for the kids.  Warren Dunes has a nice dune climb where you can see Chicago skyline, albeit incredibly small. 

Silver lake (Mears, MI) has the Mac Woods dune rides.  Kids will love it.  You can also rent ATV/Dune buggies for the sand dunes.  They've got like 2000 acres of dunes.  It's amazing.

As others have said, Sleeping Bear Dunes.  There are two dune climbs, the most well known drops 400 feet into lake Michigan. 

Tahquamenon falls in the UP... upper falls are fun to look at but the lower falls, you can hike THROUGH... 

Picture Rock has the best hike (Chapel Loop) I've ever been on, with incredible views of Lake Superior.  It's genuinely stunning. But the hike is 10 miles long.  Kids may need to a bit older. 

Unpopular opinion: Traverse City is overrated.  The bay is a second rate beach compared to all the others along the western coast.  Restaurants were run of the mill... even worn out.  We were pretty uninspired last time we were there.  But people flock there, so maybe it's just me.

Brighton Ford must be getting a lot of business from this team…

correct take.  He cares about himself ultimately.  Inspiring story on 60 minutes, but I was turned off by when I heard him admit he'd bolt if a better coaching job came up.

Why not design an offense that is good in the 1st AND 2nd half?

I've got a Glastron 175... easy to tow... easy to store in the garage with a swing-away tongue.  Use it mostly for tubing/skiing/wakeboarding, etc.  

If the two happiest days of a boater's life are the day they buy and the day they sell, they're doing it wrong.  Or they have the wrong boat.    Where else can you spend $50 for a day worth of entertainment, sun and fun for the family?  We've had some mis-haps here or there, but we've loved our boat. 

We love our local lakes here in MI, but enjoy Norris Lake in Tennessee, Lake Cumberland in Kentucky and hopefully will do a houseboat at Dale Hollow next summer. 

A number of years ago, we…

A number of years ago, we flew home from Tel Aviv to Chicago via Istanbul.  Our flight to Istanbul was delayed an hour, so we missed our flight to Chicago and had to spend the night in Istanbul.  Turkish airlines put us up in a nice hotel.  Since we were stuck there, we took a cab to the Hagia Sophia and explored different parts of the city.   Contacted Turkish Airlines to have visa fees reimbursed and they actually reimbursed that whole leg for both my wife and I.  $700 each.   Couldn't believe it.   That was one flight I didn't mind things going wrong.

They should name Coach of year after season is over, so the whole body of work can be considered. 

Same for Heisman.

Watching from the couch, later that morning.  After I have a sleep.

Think optimistically....maybe Schiano will accept the position next time we offer it to him.  And keep it for more than 6 hours. 

HAHAH.  Twitter flagged it.

What sport is this? Why are there no runs up the middle? What’s up with all this successful  downfield passing? I’m confused.

You're right... the game will mean what it used to mean.  Except now we have our 81 yards and a cloud of dust offense.

You don't need a channel lineup with SpaceX! It's only a 14 minute flight....

Pretty much one commercial break.

I appreciate the civil

I appreciate the civil discussion too. 

Jesus' claims as "the way to heaven" were pretty exclusive.  John 10:9, John 14:6, etc.  This angers alot of people. But if the Bible is authoritative, I'm not sure it leaves room for another "path" to heaven apart from Jesus. 

Which leads to many questions...

What about those who have never heard about Jesus...
What about those who lived before Jesus lived...
What is so special about Jesus that he made this claim...
What if the Bible is not really authoritative... 
How does someone arrive at knowing absolute truth?

Just some thoughts...

Osteen... lol.    You are

Osteen... lol.    You are correct: He speaks a perversion of the Bible.

I'm going to go ahead and

I'm going to go ahead and lean towards the guy who said he would rise from the dead...and then did it.  What he has to say might be worth giving some weight to. 

I’d just like to point out I’d just like to point out that this thread has the most comments of all the current threads. And we just won the big ten tournament last night. Not sure what to think...
There’s actually a bachelor There’s actually a bachelor fantasy league/ bracket you can fill out at the beginning of the season... no AP Pre-rankings though, not a coaches poll.
Yes!
Truth, by it's nature,

Yes!

Truth, by it's nature, is exclusive. 

If someone hated the man, they simply didn't believe the same thing as he did. 

Some people are exceptionally angry right now at a man that did nothing to them, nor whom they knew anythign about.  So move on, people...  and let people who knew him mourn his death without you having a problem with it.
