I think if the Archduke could sing as well, we never would have had the Great War.

Was comparing the balloon mania to some things. I sent to one of my colleagues 'The Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Balloons!' to which he responded the 'William Hung of Balloons' Worth a comp

Now?

Monsters. That bus needs to stop and that driver needs to pull everyone off. Go from there.

is this a yard of beer?

I guarantee that Michigan would be among the craziest of NIL crazies if allowed. The Fab 5 era showed it was possible. I'm ok with some dignity but not self-disarmament.

Buster sounds like a heck of a guy.

Just read in paywalled article on one of the sites that the Michigan recruiting coordinator fled for Charlotte to work with Biff Poggi. Get a better one.

And if you mess with Canadian geese in Europe you will suffer. Canada isn't sending their UN Peacekeepers there.

The Tigers period of decline exactly mirror's Jack Morris' time as a broadcaster.

Smokeshow with some righteous fury

Just got an email from Nancy Pelosi saying that if Diane Feinstein is retired to the pet farm upstate that her pick for the US Senate seat is Adam Schiff. That will enrage the slackjawed haters who think he shouldn't be on a committee because he was mean to the former guy.

Difference between the executive of a Fortune 500 company who has alimony payments and has to keep up appearances and the propane dealer down the holler's ability to stroke checks?

A hoodie here, a t-shirt there. I'm buying into the various collectives.

I've furiously avoided the original "Avatar" based on the lunacy surrounding the hype for that movie. I was similarly out on "ET the Extraterrestrial" but eventually buckled to pressure on that one later on.

I wish I could share with this forum the pure joy the Hausfrau had with the Comptroller General's responses to MTG's bizonkers questioning yesterday. She's up there talking nonsense and he's a pure technocrat who bleeds and lives by clean government. That was an immovable object being hit by an object directed by pure misinformation. You'll see the stories if you watch for them today about: Drag Queen story hour being misheard by him as Dry Clean CRT being taught at a school in Chicago which was given $5.1B for the purpose My wife works with the CG so she knows he actually had no idea what MTG was talking about and was up there to talk with professionals about professional matters. Cross-fit gym ownership does not prepare one for public policy.

Clearly, not getting Harbor was bad. Michigan wanted him and couldn't finish that off. They may get another chance though in the portal process. There is a lot of rating inflation of players from less scrupulous organizations but I think generational talent defines the haves from the have nots in CFB. Michigan has been able to transform nobodies into decent pro prospects but we definitely need to have the next 5* QB and at least one 5*on D down the road. In the B1G championship our 5* on D was the key figure despite being a true freshman. In the OSU game our (build-a/transfer) 5* C was the key man in opening up the way for the 5* RB twice. So, back to the drawing board Michigan. Please get Harbaugh a new contract. Please get more NIL. Please open up your hearts to the transfers from these lesser programs who courted these kids with false promises. Maybe get innovative and actually set up in Ann Arbor some sort of Dharma Initiative to court these kids via advanced theoretical metaphysics.

Likewise, I will fight these idiots. So, right back at you 1776. I would rename myself 1945, specifically May 8, 1945. Side note: I think declaring someone is locked and loaded used to mean they were under the influence of some substance.

Truth

This will be a significant help

Not sure if this falls under the Warde Manuel/Juwan/Harbaugh did-something-wrong bin that the Freep likes to frame things but...still https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2023/01/30/university-of-michigan-websites-russian-cyberattack/69854720007/

This is from today Really bad people? The kind who cheat on their spouses?

all in favor of this. I think Vladdie's miscalculation has resulted in the below quote from Samuel Johnson coming true.
