It might be worth it to try a VPN. I got a VPN specifically because I wanted to watch Italian TV and it has worked for me. The Italian TV site I use is free if you are in Italy but is not available at all outside of Italy.
I have seen some ads for a VPN saying that it can be used to access different movies on Netflix. I think some Europeans use a VPN to access the US version of Netflix because it has more/ different films available.
I have found that I can't have the VPN on all the time because some sites want to confirm who you are. IIRC, I had to turn the VPN off to use Amazon for instance. I think the issue was that the VPN was masking my IP address but don't remember the specifics. It is possible that there is a setting you can change - I didn't look into it since I only use the VPN for that one site.
I use Nord VPN and have been happy. They are having a deal right now. It is $3.50/ month for their standard VPN or $84 for the first 2 years. They have a 30 day money back guarantee so there is no risk to try it.
I'm glad we honored the non-aggression pact with Wisconsin (as much as we could with a massive rogue contingent).
But now it is time to go full wolverine on the badgers. I urge any rogues that can not coordinate orders on Discord to focus on attacking Wisconsin held territory or defending our borders with Wisconsin.
Why Wisconsin not OSU?
1 - It makes strategic sense. We are a bit scattered around the map now. If we can consolidate the North we will have a good base of protected territories that will conserve our power for the later rounds when we will have to face TAM. TAM already has a large protected base in the South.
2 - OSU is not a current threat and they have been more trustworthy than Wisconsin so far. This could change but they have been more focused on the SE. Their leadership seems to be trying to battle the SEC and win the game rather than just attacking us.
3 - Wisconsin will be coming for us. We border 9 of 15 Wisconsin territories. Their leadership seems to have decided that they can't win so they are just trying to kneecap us.
Nice write-up at The Michigan Daily on Senior Night
Excerpt:
Coming in, the seniors aspired to change the culture. They knew it wouldn’t change overnight. Despite holding a 43-23 record in the seniors’ first two seasons, the team was just 21-15 against Big Ten opponents.
It now holds a 21-8 record in the past two seasons against Big Ten opponents
It has been fun watching this group transform M Women's Basketball. Of course Naz & Dilk have been shining since freshman year. It has been great to see Rauch and Kiser make a difference this year. So happy for the whole team. These seniors will be missed.
2 regular season games to go and a chance at a B1G title. Let's Go Blue!
Love this team! They have 5 more games in the regular season:
MSU x2
Northwestern
Maryland (#15)
Iowa (now #25)
The only team I am worried about is Iowa. We were lucky that Caitlin Clark didn't heat up until Q4. She *only* had 21 points on the first 3 quarters before going off for 25 in Q4
All the wolverines looking great tonight. Caitlyn Clark is on another level but the wolverines have her a bit rattled. She's missing a lot of shots (for her).
He made some statements after Harbaugh left SF but if you listen to the recent podcast, it is an hour of him gushing over how awesome Harbaugh is as a coach and as an overall great dude.
Harbaugh has always been a straight shooter. Agree with you that all the drama came from the speculating asshats.
Glad that coach tunes out the BS because if he didn't there is no way he would want to come back here after all the posts pissing on his legacy before he even made up his mind. I'm pretty disgusted with a lot of the posters on here.
Depends on point of view. This report makes it sound like there was a lengthy discussion and Jim decided to go back to Michigan. They swung and missed.
I've been looking at some Vikings forums and the fans were pretty invested in Harbaugh
Yeah. I think the NFL owners are idiots. Whenever I hear an interview with someone who played for Harbaugh, they love him. LOVE him. He's a real players coach.
One of the Vikings podcasts had an interview with Alex Boone who played for OSU and then for the 49ers. He could not say enough good things about Harbaugh.
So thrilled he will be back. I heard some talking heads say that he would be better off in the NFL because he won't be able to beat the SEC. I can almost hear him say, "we beat Ohio State, now we're going to beat the SEC or die trying". That's my coach!
This is my take, too. We were going to play Georgia first no matter our ranking. In that case, I would rather be under-ranked and prove everyone wrong.
Win out against Georgia and Alabama/ Cincinnati and nobody can say it was a fluke or we had an easy road.
Today was a killer for me. Two of my Final Four teams were knocked out (Illinois and Texas Tech). I originally had Illinois losing at the Elite 8 but changed it to have them go to the Final. Painful.

Yes you can use a VPN on a smart TV - just saw that this was a question in one of the replies.
Also, you can turn a 'dumb' TV into a smart TV by using a streaming stick like Roku or Chromecast.

Defend any border with Wisconsin/ OSU/ Texas A&M
or
Attack Wisconsin anywhere

WOLVERINES!

Y. I think JJ gets meaningful snaps from day 1, even if Cade does start.

Terrific write-up. Thanks!

2 regular season games to go and a chance at a B1G title. Let's Go Blue!
It was really just the 3rd quarter. Nia Clouden couldn't miss in the 3rd. She was human the rest of the game.
A loss here puts us behind Indiana. Looking on the bright side, Indiana plays Iowa (Caitlin Clark) two times in the next couple weeks.
Win out and we can still win the B1G regular season.
Hate losing to Sparty, though
Rauch bringing the heat here in the 4th.
All star behind her head pass by Rauch. Nice!
Y. That 3rd quarter was rough. Hope we can re-group. Need to shut Clouden down and get more rebounds
Uh oh. Nia Clouden woke up. Just 4 pts in the first half and 8 points already in the 3rd quarter
Y. I hope Leigh will be back for the final game against Iowa and for the tournament.
Phelia has been great except for the turnovers. Will be awesome once she gets those under control.
Can't believe we have an extended interview with the new MSU volleyball coach in the middle of the 2nd quarter. WTH BTN?
Great start for the wolverines, 8-0. Defense is strong and shots are falling. LFG.
Love this team! They have 5 more games in the regular season:
MSU x2
Northwestern
Maryland (#15)
Iowa (now #25)
The only team I am worried about is Iowa. We were lucky that Caitlin Clark didn't heat up until Q4. She *only* had 21 points on the first 3 quarters before going off for 25 in Q4
I agree. Think Jay could be a great head coach.
I think he will need to go somewhere else to be a first time head coach. Some place like Western Michigan or Miami of Ohio
Clark is fun to watch. More fun when she is not playing against the wolverines.
Great win today. Go Blue!
48-36 at the half. Love this team! Go Blue!
All the wolverines looking great tonight. Caitlyn Clark is on another level but the wolverines have her a bit rattled. She's missing a lot of shots (for her).
Love this team! Great 1st quarter. Up 25 -15. All of the wolverines looking good!
Phelia looking good and so is Cam Williams
Ugh. Hate losing Leigha Brown. Iowa is going to be a tough game. Caitlyn Clark is on another level.
That was my reaction, too. Wish every M fan would listen to at least a few minutes.
Real football guys love Harbaugh. We're lucky to have him.
Thanks for posting this as its own thread. It got buried in the other threads and it is a terrific interview with Alex Boone.
It is clear that Harbaugh loves football and loves his players and that they LOVE him.
Mike Mac said something similar in a Ravens interview the other day. Harbaugh loves his players and he always has their backs.
He made some statements after Harbaugh left SF but if you listen to the recent podcast, it is an hour of him gushing over how awesome Harbaugh is as a coach and as an overall great dude.
Great podcast. Thanks for posting.

I agree. That was a pretty crappy Mgoblog announcement that JH is staying. It was unworthy of you, Seth

Great win! #1 in B1G and trending to a 2 seed in the tournament.
Go Blue!
This Indiana team is tough. They haven't played in 2 weeks and are playing without MacKenzie Holmes.
Indiana #4 keeping them.in this game. She's responsible for at least 7 turnovers and leads them in points and tied for most Indiana rebounds
A couple of bad fouls here by Amy Dilk and Leigha Brown. Good timeout by KBA
Thanks for the write-up. Great to see the women getting some love. They are having a great season!
Indiana #4 is a menace. She has 5 steals in the first half. Hope we can neutralize her in the second half
Very bummed for Kiser
This is my take, too. We were going to play Georgia first no matter our ranking. In that case, I would rather be under-ranked and prove everyone wrong.
Win out against Georgia and Alabama/ Cincinnati and nobody can say it was a fluke or we had an easy road.
Michigan vs Everybody! (and I like those odds)
He has a good shot, no question. But I'm not sure he can beat the good guys in this case.
Go Blue!
You're 1 point out of 1st place but you bet on ... Baylor to win it all?
Title should be: MGO Yahoo Tourney Standings 3/28
Leigha Brown is definitely back and Naz playing like PoY!
Really happy for the seniors, AK and Hailey Brown.
Go Blue!
Consider yourself lucky. I originally had Illinois out at the Elite 8 and made a last minute change to put them in the final losing to M. Sigh.
The Midwest is my best region. I was 8-0 yesterday. Today so far I am 1-2.
Note to self: Loyola and Syracuse always go further than expected.
