  1. Along those same lines - and it's possible I'm reading too much into things - but I've been assuming that the speed with which these things go down is a big indicator of where prospects stand on our board. To put that more simply, I assume Golden was Tier 1 ("this is a guy that we need"), whereas the rest of these names are Tier 2 or lower ("these are guys that would be nice to have if the fit and numbers make sense").
  2. So are we down to Bolden or bust for portal WR as of right now? A bunch of names have come and gone in quick succession.
  3. Damn, I was a huge LTJ fan in high school. Never heard any of that stuff. I haven't listened to them in probably 20+ years, but that's a damn shame.
  4. The problem is that the airplane may have been assembled by fuckups. Capitalist fuckups or union fuckups depending on your Surly point of view, but fuckups nevertheless. Who knows what else wasn't done right? Are they checking the bolts on all the plugs, or just the one side? What about the doors? The landing gear? The fucking engines?
  5. I like the young guy in the Titans jacket. “Made me spill a drop of my beer? Fuck it, they’re on their own.”
  6. Well they got their fancy OL award that they couldn’t shut the fuck yup about. Maybe they can put that on their stadium.
  7. Excited to watch the NFL draft all these Michigan DL in the 1st round and then cut them 2 years later.
  8. We got beat by a better team in the Sugar Bowl. It happens. What hurts me most is that this game is taking place about 15 minutes away from my house. When will I get that kind of opportunity again? The good news is that, per aggy rules, if Washington wins we can put a banner up in DKR.
  9. Satisfying regular season. One thing continues to baffle me though...
  10. Supposed to be tornadoes and shit this afternoon/evening. Tailgaters better watch their cornhole.
  11. I could see the Commies taking BPA or trading down, giving Howell another year to see what they've really got, and taking a QB next year if it doesn't work out.
  12. I took my kids to see Kidz Bop on Friday. Pretty light turnout tbh. $1200 including fees seems like the floor for tickets. They haven’t budged all week. Will be interesting to see how it plays out tomorrow.
  13. 155 combined starts and a few of them weren’t actually that bad
  14. Nico Collins en fuego
  15. So what ever happened with Kobe Black’s brother? Turned out there was nothing to see there?
  16. It seems early to me for 2023 OL to be transferring. Especially with a small '24 class behind them. They'll get their shot.
  17. Atlanta 2025, Miami 2026
  18. I was really starting to dream about Mitchell in particular. He's likely a round 2 or 3 guy now, but I had visions of him returning, being our 1A next year, catching a million balls, improving his route running, and being a surefire 1st rounder.
  19. Yeah 5-8 get a home game against 9-12. Quarters and semis are at the existing bowls. Championship at a rotating site.
  20. I think the 12 team format is really going to crush demand for the semis and quarterfinals. There's just not many people that will have the financial ability to fly somewhere 3 weeks in a row (or even 4 if they're not a top 4 seed). We saw this with the Sugar Bowl where Washington fans didn't show. Michigan is a big fanbase that was starving just like us, so they showed up for the Rose this year, but in the 12-team future, there won't be these decades-long droughts between appearances.
  21. Honestly I think you made out ok given the circumstances.
  22. Here's a long post by Kuffner that lays out what's probably my biggest concern about Whitmire - namely, that a big part of his campaign was "the state will be nice to us because I'm friendly with them". That comes across as wildly naive to me. So naive as to be almost unbelievable. I suspect that the promise of "cooperation" with the state is a big reason why all the local GOP money lined up behind Whitmire. http://www.offthekuff.com/wp/?p=112788
