    Just a little echo of your sentiments. I've been to the Big House as a tshirt meatchicken fan multiple times when I lived in Chicago. Crowd is a lot better than they get credit for. Not insane levels, but I think it's on part with Texas home field. 

    As for Michigan fans before/during/after games, I have to say the pre-rose bowl match up was just a pleasure. I'll be careful here so as not to sound like aggie fan fiction but there were way, way more discussions about the history of the teams, the great match ups and generally a love of college football than shit talk. Even the shit talk was very subdued levels of "Your teams going down tonight! GO Blue!". Yes, that's on the road at a neutral site, and unfortunately I missed this game. In short, if I was forced to pick a University most similar to Texas fans regarding behavior, knowledge and general attitudes about games and their University, Michigan is the one. Based on my personal experience and opinion no other school is close. Wisky is a lot of fun and may have the best tailgating scene for consistency of food quality as well as open attitude to opposing fans. That’s the only other I might include, but it's a different beast.

    That first series they were super loud and I thought it might be a real problem, but we took them out of the game so fast it was a non issue after that.

    Cops will be dealing with all sort of people many of whom will be complete assholes and they should be trained to deal with it and de-escalate. I'm a broken record on this, but it's the fundamental problem with policing in this country, they overreach all the time and assume that every citizen they encounter is looking to blast them with a hidden gun. It's just not rational or reasonable and should be a big deal in a country that brags about civil rights.

    In this situation, when Hill won't lower his window, just yell that you're gonna give him a ticket. All Hill is legally obligated to do is show license and registration (I think the video showed that he did this before rolling up his window). If he won't open the window on demand, tell you you need to give him his ticket and he can move along (also probably needs to return his license and registration). If Hill wants to be an asshole and call his lawyer over a fucking speeding ticket, fine, let him know he doesn't have to talk, but he's still getting a fucking ticket. I just don't think it's all that difficult in principle.  

    Cops are very short fused when they feel their authoritai is being challenged. It is a bunch of small dicked washed up former HS football players still trying to run the yard in many situations.

    I can hardly work in MS Paint.  But, my wife is a professional graphic editor.

    I showed her some of the commitment edits Fawcett does, and she LOL'd over them.  Said it couldn't take 10 minutes to work one up better than his best work.

    Considering that she still has no idea in the difference b/t OL and DL, I doubt she's interested in stealing his business model.  Plus, her Instagram page has about 10 connections, so ON3 may not be dropping bags of $ at our door....

    Put that woman to work, start sending edits to recruits unsolicited. It won't take long. Also, make sure you spill all the beans on this board.

    That first half was absolutely a cat playing with its food. Michigan was just so out classed. Other than a few RB mistakes it doesn’t get much better. Gbenda is also a mad man 

    Gbenda nuked the center on a run play and threw him 3 yards into the backfield in the first half and I almost came out of my seat. That was something I never would have thought we would get out of that guy. Development at its finest

    Take it however you like, but since Sark has been at Texas, I've noticed a tendency of Sark to not show up the opposing coach in many cases.  It may not be intentional, but very rarely does he just let the dogs eat in the second half.  OSU Big 12 CCG notwithstanding.  He does play the long game, and may not want to leave locker room material for the next time we see whichever team.  Interested to hear if he had an opinion or thoughts on the flag planting incident.  Doesn't seem to jive with his culture.

    Well, I for one hope he rains holy hell down upon Kyle field for all 4 quarters. Running backwards from the 1 yard line and taking a knee at midfield for the last play of the game to not top triple digits.

    • I think that's still a really good Notre Dame defense. I specifically remember saying, "This is not an SEC elite defense that we've seen in the past." I'm still not sure. I'm looking around the SEC and saying, "Where are the elite defenses other than Georgia?"
       
    • I think Texas' defense looks good when I watch them play, but they played Colorado State, and I'm telling you that Michigan's defense is bad, bad, bad.

    LOL

    Their offense looks like ass and they needed a blown safety call to close out Houston.  They are going to lose a few games this year.

    They are going to get absolutely hammered by Texas, Tennessee, Bama, and Ole Miss, and I think they are in a lot of trouble against LSU and Mizzou.

    I think the question is, why hasn't imma been able to land an interview with the premier recruiting commitment photoshop specialist on the Surly Pod?  He could ask him about his design choice to make every human face look like a bright red crypt keeper.

    Being a graphic artist, much like real estate, comes down to 1 unreplaceable quality. Exposure, exposure, exposure.
