Kudos to you for pointing…

Kudos to you for pointing out Wendy's post and especially to Wendy for again pointing how wrong it is to attack Warde in such a way.  Though it's a vocal minority who engage in such ad hominum attacks, let's strive for 100% of us to be better than to stoop to that level.

Thank you also to the Mod who took action/edited the OP to post the warning. 

I've read the same thing,…

I've read the same thing, but have also heard that the Cards manager Red Schoendienst always swore Brock should have slid and that he would then likely have been safe.

Me?  Good luck to anyone being able to get through the ultimate immovable object, Bill Freehan !

Seeing that the OP isn't…

Seeing that the OP isn't specifically about Michigan Wolverines sports, I have to go with the key play of the 1968 World Series.

To set the scene, the Tigers were down to the Cards 3-games-to-1, and trailed in the 5th inning 3-2...

Had Lou Brock scored, St Louis would have taken a 4-2 lead and possibly had a rally continue.  Fast forward to the 8th inning, Al Kaline lined a 2-run single and the Tigers took the lead 4-3 on the way to a 5-3 win behind the pitching of Mickey Lolich.  Detroit then went in to win games 6 and 7 at Busch Stadium to become World Champions.  And this young baseball fan had his all-time favorite championship team to celebrate for a lifetime!

Best of all from a Michigan perspective, the play featured two Michigan Legends: one of them being Willie Horton, a Detroit native and real-life hero who played a major role in preventing the '67 riots from getting even more out of hand; and the other...

 Bill Freehan, a true Michigan Man who happened to play both Baseball and Football for the Maize and Blue, then eventually became Michigan's head baseball coach years after his playing days were over.

Late-night spot-mopping on the board. This was posted first but then largely ignored in favor of the other board post re: the Hockey brackets.

Waaay fewer than 4000.

How does 2500 sound to you?

No problem, it was just…

No problem, it was just easier to post it in the thread than to edit your OP.  And I'm guessing 90% of the folks who pay attention to hockey probably already knew what cities are the hosts this season.

2500 seating capacity for a NCAA Hockey Regional. SMH!

For those who might wish to compare, WMU plays in tiny Lawson Ice Arena... capacity 3667.

Michigan's home , of course, is the fabled Yost Ice Arena.  Capacity 6600.

 

WTF NCAA???!!!

 

Just to clarify for those…

Just to clarify for those who aren't avid followers of college hockey:

Maryland Heights is in suburban St Louis, not the state of Maryland.

Other than Tiny Tommie, a couple other B1G coaches , plus Calipari, Pitino and Bill Self, I find very few basketball coaches as dislikable as Kim Mulkey at LSU.

I don't care how successful her coaching record is, I would never want her anywhere near the Michigan program in any capacity.

Thanks for the link. I honestly had never heard of the "Mountain Jews" and their historical significance.

I'd bring back T Reed in a heartbeat.  Nothing that better coaching can't improve.

As for Dug, I think his situation would be a more difficult road.  Without knowing all that went on behind the scenes, it seems like maybe a few too many bridges have burned for him to even want to come back.

Does anyone have a…

Does anyone have a comprehensive list of the status of every player currently on Michigan's roster?

It's been widely posted on the MGoBoard (and elsewhere) that Reed, Dug, and YoYo are in the transfer portal, what about everyone else with remaining eligibility?

Exactly why we needed to get into the flow of the offense several ticks earlier when instead they waited until 7 seconds and had Laila drive the lane .  With it being a one-possession lead, getting points was imperative, much more than milking the clock to the max.

Mike Sainristil is totally deserving.  In the 46 seasons I've had season tickets, I've only seen a handful of Michigan defensive backs who have had college football careers as impactful and impressive as what he's done consistently over his Michigan career. 

And to think, Sainristil was initially a pretty darn good little receiver before volunteering to switch positions to help shore up an area of weakness on the defensive side of the ball.

That's effin' insane!!  Wow, 5 marathons back-to-back-to-back.  I've never run anything longer than a 10k run in my  jogging days, never ridden my bike more than 45 miles at a time since aching joints relegated me to bicycling.

And they're running 130 miles.  Holy shit.

Ok!  I'll talk!

In third grade, I cheated on my history exam. In fourth grade, I stole my uncle Max’s toupee and I glued it on my face when I was Moses in my Hebrew School play. In fifth grade, I knocked my sister Edie down the stairs and I blamed it on the dog…When my mom sent me to the summer camp for fat kids and then they served lunch I went nuts and I pigged out and they kicked me out…But the worst thing I ever done — I mixed a pot of fake puke at home and then I went to this movie theater, hid the puke in my jacket, climbed up to the balcony and then, then, I made a noise like this: hua-hua-hua-huaaaaaaa — and then I dumped it over the side, all over the people in the audience. And then, this was horrible, all the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other. I never felt so bad in my entire life!

Apparently Wiscy never received the James Naismith memo that said the object of the game was to put the ball in the peach basket
