This looks like what you'd…

This looks like what you'd see in a movie set in a fictional future where the Olde English D uniform never existed. I'm not a fan.

Holy cow do they have a lot…

Holy cow do they have a lot of plate options! What's next, snowbirds can get a plate that's the same as the state they moved from? So you move from Michigan and can get a copy of the maize and blue water-winter wonderland plate but it says Florida instead of Michigan?

It's ironic that Florida has a NASCAR plate when there's literally no place to hang plates in NASCAR.

Was it this car?

Was it this car?

 

Or did it look more like this?

Olympic rooting interests…

Olympic rooting interests are a lot like fantasy football. You have your favorite team that you root for (USA! USA! USA!) but then you get a guy on your fantasy team whom you also want to do well because it makes your fantasy team do well (Go Amene!). 

The maize and blue water…

The maize and blue water-winter wonderland plates always worried me. I won't let my wife drive her car with that plate through the Windsor Tunnel. 

All of these posts need…

All of these posts need thumbs up because WCB and Romeo are taking every chance to rip on Staee, which is appropriate, and Seth is right in the real world, not the irrational rivalry world.

That's what Amorion Walker…

That's what Amorion Walker said to Michigan then Ole Miss then Michigan again.

I love Z. Those hook shots are the best. Now he adds the decel. Such a smart player.

And here I am having a hard time figuring out how to run a speaker from the living room out to my deck to listen to Tiger games. I bet they're not using bluetooth technology.

Baseball on the radio is so…

Baseball on the radio is so much better than TV. All 4 of my kids are baseball and Tiger fans because they grew up with the game on the radio every night during the summer. My 2 older girls both got MLB subscriptions when they moved out of state just so they could continue to listen. 

Ernie Harwell was the voice of my childhood. Dan Dickerson is the voice of their childhood.

As fun as that would be, it…

As fun as that would be, it doesn't seem likely. They saved, what, $75 million on the Tuck contract? I didn't read this article, but another one said Tracy is planning to sue MSU for $75 million. If she was a plant, then she magnificently turned the tables on both Mel and Staee.

Although this sort of outcome would be par for the course in EL.

The Michigan Endowment Fund…

The Michigan Endowment Fund was valued at $17.9 billion as of June 2023. Where's my share of that? Talk about hand over fist money.

How soon until games go to pay-per-view in order to afford this racket? I don't know how "college" football can survive this.

Before Jim Harbaugh went…

Before Jim Harbaugh went back to the NFL, Dan Campbell was the NFL's version of Jim Harbaugh - building a team with the right attitude, chemistry, integrity, etc. Others say they want to do it, our guys do it.

Go Lions and Go Blue! And go Vikings every time they play the Packers!

A Bears' fan I work with…

A Bears' fan I work with asked: "Would you rather have the Lions' receiving corp or the Bears' receiving corp?" I told him it was the wrong question. Would you rather have the Michigan cohesion or the OSU mercenaries? JJ McCarthy is a winner who raises the level of everyone who plays with him.

That sucks. Good luck, JJ,…

That sucks. Good luck, JJ, except when you play the Lions. 

That was rude.

That was rude.

I'm not taking the bait on…

I'm not taking the bait on this. In fact, I'd like to see you scale it back a little bit.

And yet Michigan has beaten…

And yet Michigan has beaten OSU 3 years in a row and just won a national championship. Joel Klatt commented yesterday that the cohesion of the Michigan football team was like nothing he'd ever seen before. These guys truly love their teammates and would do anything for them, as opposed to mercenary football. Maybe this is just weeding out a mercenary.

LOL - unexpected zinger right out of left field.

So no Week 17 games for the Lions in Lambeau?

This will surely help them in recruiting.

This isn't quite the argument to make. It impacted actually getting him on the field for USC. If USC was giving houses to recruits' families but other school didn't because the rules didn't allow it, would the USC recruits have chosen other schools?

Hang the banners!!!

Hang the banners!!!

OSU backers are quietly…

OSU backers are quietly coming to the realization that Michigan losing Harbaugh wasn't as impactful as they hoped, and Michigan poaching Alford was quite impactful.

One half? It was only 5 bad plays, tough guy.

This is so spot on. I work…

This is so spot on. I work with two Sparty grads. We rarely talk sports because it's gotten quite heated in the past. But their little digs are usually in the same vein as "bad tattoo, dude." They've got nothing else. Even Michigan basketball's implosion was so complete that there was no meat on the bone for them.

It's astounding how quickly…

It's astounding how quickly Coach May was able to put together a roster.

Yeah, thanks for your thoughts but I'm gonna go ahead and give the OP a thumbs up anyway.

For noon games, I spend the morning at the fire pit right outside the family room, smoke a cigar then head in for the game. I love noon games.

Isn't it funny how wild horses can't drag the NCAA to the do the right thing on its own, but a single Stallion can?

As a former sports writer…

As a former sports writer who cut his teeth taking calls from coaches to create high school basketball box scores - girls' names are the worst as far as spelling variation. Jenni, Jenny, Jennie, Ginny, Ginnie...Kathy, Kathi, Kathie, Cathy, Cathi, Cathie, Cathey...etc. God forbid if you spelled someone's precious daughter's name wrong in an agate type box score. 

Even though I knew the…

Even though I knew the outcome and have watched it multiple times, my hands still got sweaty on that last drive.

Also, OSU's new center sure does have a lot of bad snaps. You could almost say he was one of the keys to Michigan's win.

for the 1003rd time 

LOL at the number of times.

If that happens, I don't…

If that happens, I don't know if Michigan wins a national championship. Clemson, Alabama, Georgia and LSU were just at another level through that stretch. Michigan would have made waves in the playoffs, but they didn't have a QB that could win it all. Playing this out, would Harbaugh have left for the NFL earlier after 4 years of banging up against historically great teams?

Despite the agony of those seasons, I'm happy with how things turned out. Falling, getting up, falling again, getting up again, etc - the reward is so much sweeter after fighting through such adversity.

I think the Edwards 75 yard…

I think the Edwards 75 yard and 85 yard TD runs were two of the greatest plays in Michigan history, but I'd give the game ball to the 2021 win. That set the stage for everything that followed.

Also, don't forget the…

Also, don't forget the probation.

NCAA: "OK, that's settled. Now on to Connor Stallions. Since you should have been on probation, which we've made retroactive to the time Coach Harbaugh bought the cheeseburgers, when this most egregious violation took place (think of the safety of the players!), the penalty for signgate is DEATH!"
