  1. Are Michigan fans calling for Davis Warren or Alex Orji yet?
  2. The receivers had trouble getting open, but even when they did he just flat-out missed them and that was against far inferior opponents than today's.
  3. What if Corum really wasn't even hurt and this was all just a con job, like there was never any question he'd play but they made everyone think he might not. .
  4. I don't have a good feeling about today - mostly because the Michigan downfield passing game is terrible, and that was against second-rate opponents. Maybe they have a handful of plays they have been sitting on all season, but I don't think JJ is very accurate, even in the rare case his receivers get open. The Tight Ends for Michigan need to have a big game today. Just keep it close. Lose a close game coupled with a USC loss and Georgia beating LSU and we're probably still in the playoffs.........A TCU loss would be nice too. Alabama is sitting there waiting for the dominoes to fall, but would Clemson leap-frog them because of only 1 loss? Maybe UNC beats them in the title game.
  5. Sophomore slump. Lidstrom "struggled" his 2nd year too. (Struggle in Lids' case was he wasn't as good at his rookie year).
  6. No, No, it's like something I think I remember but I can't remember and it's frustrating.
  7. I know, our radio station can't play them anymore. We keep dropping songs from artists that have behaved badly it's going to be very quiet on our airwaves
  8. don't get groped !
  9. Blew a 2-goal lead, but still get the 2 and the other team getting the 1 point won't hurt them in the playoff standings.
  10. DYLAN LARKIN !!!!!!!!!!!
  11. Perron playing some serious keep-away. That shot almost won it with 1 second left in OT. Wow
  12. 3 on 3 OT is so fun to watch.
  13. Well, shit...........
  14. Wait, I thought they worked it out and started playing in a real arena. That didn't happen? Geez.......Quebec City, Kansas City, Hamilton, Milwaukee, Houston...............come on man...... It's Phoenix, it's not a natural hockey market (neither is Houston, but they have a much higher population
  15. What is your Avatar?
  16. "♫ Some folks will never lose a toe, but then again some folk'll........like Cletus, the slack-jawed yokel"
  17. If the new hitting coaches can get Schoop, Baez and Meadows back to their averages and then save Tork before he's completely broken, then the team is going to do a lot better right there. They should go after Justin Turner. He's perfect for them. High OBP guy, still decent at 3rd, and even though he's 38, he still gets on base. He won't be looking for a long contract. I know they'd like to find a left-handed hitting infielder, but they just need to get someone competent at third. I don't think Clemens, Kreidler, Perez or Lupcius is the answer there, at least not right now. The free agent list is weak this year and the ones at the top won't be coming here. The rest of them, I think, you'd have to look at guys with OBPs over .320 (maybe higher). That's what he said his priority was, understanding the strike zone. That's why Daz, Candy and the Castros are gone. That 17-4, 2.14 season comeback- of-the-century year for Franklin Perez is going to be awesome, though.
  18. In baseball, you have to commit to a GM longer than any other sport because of how long it takes drafted players to develop. You have to give him at least 4 years unless he just does some incredibly stupid things, but I wouldn't expect it from this guy.
  19. I don't think Harris leaves his hometown team to come here unless he got certain assurances IN WRITING that seemed appealing to him. Cheap & Controllable might be the 2023 way for 2 reasons. (1) 32 million wrapped up in one aging, non-productive player in his last year and (2) we really don't know the long-term outlook for our young starting pitchers. If the Tigers think that Skubal, MIze and Manning are going to be what they expected in '24 and beyond then they can trade some other young pitchers to bolster the roster, but they aren't going to know any of that this year, so this year it's likely to be band-aids on bullet wounds with next year being more aggressive with Miggy's 32 million, Schoop's 7 million and possibly Javy's 25 million all off the books. The next offseason is probably is probably where they make some interesting signings and trades on the field, this season was about fixing the organization off the field and I think they've made some good moves, but we won't really know it for 3 or 4 years.
  20. That is a great story. They've developed this great friendship.
  21. DING !
  22. 11-0 = $1,500,000 5-6 = $100,000 still a bonus. Seems fair to me.
