Like a former US President who was the "star" of the bench of that baseball team.

3 posts in a random early September game thread. Yes, it has been a while since we were exciting in September.

By President Putin?

serve all of them

Dabo is the hominid who saw the jawbone of the ass and told his players not to pick that evil thing up and had his clan of proto-humans wiped out by the clan that did pick up jawbones of asses.

Since the Judge adhered the terrorism bonus for Enrique Tarrio, could we call him Terrio?

Lets hope he's wrong plus, Trump is going to go out on a limb for you? Is that really what you expect?

Then there is this

Well, the Russians appear to be trying other things as well

Russia is sending these mobilized troops in with limited weapons and almost no training. That is not how you win. That's how you delay defeat. OTOH, Ukraine's best units and most motivated troops are getting over the 200 days of combat that combat mental health experts say is the "breaking point". Combat Fatigue: How Stress in Battle was Felt (and Treated) in WWII (warfarehistorynetwork.com) I hope Ukraine has been able to provide the same sort of rotation system.

There was a very interesting tweet the other day showing the home provinces of all the casualties suffered by the Russians. Not surprising was that Moscow and St. Petersburg were the lowest and the lower-status Tuva province was at the highest end by a lot. Putin's center of gravity are the elites and he doesn't want to send their kids or them (the conscription age is quite high) to war.

Seems true.

This is why its important to re-orient the economy away from middle-east oil.

Anything that makes Michigan stand out from other -- lesser -- schools; is fine by me.

Harbaugh is a weird idiosyncratic dude. [deleted entire political point that ran several paragraphs of problematic appreciation for his weird idiosyncrasies]

Fans of other teams seem really upset that Harbaugh has the support of his team. If Ted Lasso was based on anyone as it was supposed to be based on Harbaugh, then this would have been a normal thing to have seen from the team.

Is the guy the Nats just lost Mike Rizzo of any interest as GM or is it a lock that he's going to the White Sox? My grade: B Positives: Lots of positive development of the position players. The AAA offense is thumping teams every night according to my MILB app which can only mean that some of these clubbers are coming North at some point. The big three of Riley, Spencer and Kerry appear to be a core worth preserving. There is the basis of a future rotation in Skubal, Manning, Olson with possible FA centerpiece like Erod (who appears to be on the Michigan Chamber of Commerce for all he loves it here). Negatives: That AAA pitching staff appears to be tied together with banyan vines and spit. That does not bode well for the future. For this to mean a winning season in 2024, he needs an offseason like the Detroit Lions offseason. Having that offseason required a surge in 2023. I'm not sure we had that surge to the degree necessary.

I love Mike Tirico as a PbP but this was egregious. I wonder if he was just as clueless as the audience because it sure seemed like an INT

Peacock experience just feels like lining up at a MEPS for medical exam. We’ve all been drafted and we just have to pay. Damn them and the horse they rode in on.

No worries…i got your meaning.

That was fine and about what I expected. If I had a concern, it would be non-dominance in the run game. Defense was good. Our special teams cost us some points. Need to give Moody DNA to the new kid.

The Crossing is perhaps the best debut album of the 80s

wow

You can't record Michigan games on Bally --- [that was supposed to be in the vein of "sir, this is a Wendy's"]
