Great college player…

Great college player maximizing his talents and opportunities by going to arguably the best basketball program in the country. Can't really fault any of that. Rock Chalk, Hunter!

Gregg Doyel is really clever…

Gregg Doyel is really clever and important; just ask him. I'm sure he'll write a full-page goodbye column when he leaves the Star ... because he is really super important.

I was one of those kids that grew up with baseball on the radio, and listening to Ernie, Paul, Dan and Jim over the years has been part of my whole life.. He sounded pretty shaky toward the end of the year last year, and I was worried we were losing him. 

RIP JP

Oh, me too. First time at…

Oh, me too. First time at Autzen, and it was impressive. I've hated the Ducks ever since, and I especially after they crushed us at home the next year, and then there was that Natty between the Ducks and OSU...

So uninspiring. Hunter…

So uninspiring. Hunter fighting to get the ball while everyone else seems to stand around. Rinse and repeat...

This year was a huge step back...

... along with a sweet solo career after leaving The Doobie Brothers.

Winner!

Winner!

Thanks, Jim:

Thanks for reaching out to my dying Uncle with words of encouragement, thanks a great era of Michigan football, and thanks for helping bring the team back to prominence.

As a fan of Michigan football, it's time for you to chase your dream and let this school create a stable situation. 

Good luck. Now GTFO

For what it's worth, Buckeye67, my mom beat lung cancer earlier this year. CT scan the other day was clean. Wishing you all the good luck!

Me too. I'm actually…

Me too. I'm actually climbing it in two weeks! There's a standard route to the south that you can take right to the rim. Wow! He was on the northeast side. I'm surprised he survived. I met a woman whose brother was killed in blast. He was on another mountain ridge (in what was designated a safe zone) when the eruption took place. He was killed when a piece of the mountain was hurled at him from four miles away, crashed through the front of the truck, and crushed him...

He wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but he certainly was my dad's. I actually got him a birthday greeting with GG on Cameo last May, and he said it was his favorite gift of his life.

Let me be the seven millionth person to call him Hairy Palm...

Holy crap. I turned it off when they were up 17 and went back to work. I figured that was safe...

Shocked... 

 

My wife was working for a…

My wife was working for a large (I won't call it a top) university, but a lack of upward mobility and an archaic reward system caused her to leave. A few years ago, the idea of leaping without a job was unthinkable. But now, it's a sellers market.

I'm fine staying right where we are. Win three and we're likely in the top 2 (assuming Georgia beats Bama, and Oregon loses again).

I'm happy we're 3-0. I reserve judgment on this team, however, because of last year's strange Covid season, a million new coaches, and the bad taste in my mouth of several blowouts in 19-20. We play four ranked teams on the road, and then we play OSU. 

Again, I'm encouraged, but still feel that getting nine wins would be awesome.

Fuck college football.

I'm still hoping that Ryan Day is completely overrated, and that it even out at some point. I'm hoping, but not hopeful...

I got a few for PF a few years ago. I was one of the unfortunate ones. It felt like someone injected lava into my foot (twice) and I got no relief whatsoever. Fortunately, new shoes and lots of stretching did the trick. Good luck!

We're driving down to see a friend who lives there on Sunday. By we, I mean my whole family. That means we are simply going to Vegas without the March Madness experience. We then head out Monday for trip to Palm Springs. Can't believe I will be in Vegas for the first weekend of March Madness, and I probably won't watch a game ...

Crazy, and sad...

I bought AMC on a total bullshit gamble a few weeks ago for $3. Too bad I didn't buy more than 100 shares, but I'll take it! Sold at $15 today.

Oh, sorry, I thought the informative headline meant we were playing word association.

In terms of the chanting, I wonder about voice. Now, when I think of Trumpers, I think of people. When I think of "Four legs good ..." I think of animals. Now, to reduce my biases, I'd like to hear a crowd of centaurs deliver both messages, so I could judge the chants on their own merits.

I'm sorry, but it is…

I'm sorry, but it is cheating. It is fucking cheating. Yes, they are better, and yes, they had perhaps the best coach in the history of college football who gifted a juggernaut to Ryan Day. Before people bestow the second-greatest coach in the history of college football on this guy, remember that he was handed the keys to one of the sweetest sports cars in college athletics. Sorry, but I have my doubts that he can drive it like Urban did.

Our paths crossed several times, as my wife was friends with his wife. Hadn’t seen him since we moved to Portland 20 years ago, but I bumped into him in Vegas for a Wings game during the Knights first season and we hung out catching up for probably an hour. He was always a really good dude. Fuck cancer, and get your colonoscopy if you’re e 45 or older.

All crappy news drops on Fridays, so we should be good.

 

I live in Portland and we do…

I live in Portland and we do an HD Antenna, The Hulu-Disney Plus-ESPN Plus package, and Netflix. So we pay about $25 a month. I think I went to watch a game or two at the bar, but the rest were on TV. I must have been living in a hole, but I had no idea how a $20 HD antenna could get me all the networks. I thought I would die without ESPN and BTN, but I am amazed how much content I can still get with this setup.

Remember the Pinto in the 70s? Probably not. How about the transmissions in the Fiesta/Focus this year?

They're all ruthless.

Thank you! Made my day. I had two bouts of melanoma, and I’m 2-0. Obviously, it’s nowhere near what you all are facing or have faced, but it’s two more victories just the same.

Exactly. 13-10 at half, with top-four defensive players sitting out, plus our starting RB. Even though I don't begrudge kids for sitting out to protect their future, missing all of those leaders -- and talent -- matters. Outscored 28-5 in second half.
