  1. a return to jim crow is an extreme exaggeration. and in another generation or two, population movements could turn a lot of the old industrial midwest into "consumer states," so be careful what you wish for.
  2. my 13 year old was fine. but she wasnt learning as much and there were a ton of distractions. most of the boys in her class - being boys - werent paying much attention. then i make her read books outside of class and she hates me. the four hour napoleon documentary didnt go over well either. being in person provides them with socialization chances too. that's really important. we usually bring a couple of her classmates over for remote learning "pods" just so she can be with friends.
  3. that's great! texas can be three states and florida two. we can make cali three states too since the valley js so different from the coasts. or better yet, combine the dakotas, montana, nebraska, idaho and western oregon/washington into one big state with only two senators! even better, let's keep dividing up territory until we get a temporary democrat super majority in the senate. and then when the population migration and party policies and demographics change again in 15 years we can split up the map again to make sure democrats have another majority. as much as i dont like the senate, i think getting rid of it and leaving things only to the house would be very scary. house members are nuts!
  4. or we could just combine a bunch of tiny northeastern states like vermont, delaware, rhode island, maine. why do those tiny states get 2 senators where their population is so low?
  5. i believe green bay clinched when the cowboys lost.
  6. cant imagine someone like dubois makes it to free agency. do you take a chance on max domi? or spend for 28 hear old hertl?
  7. red hogs is a really good name.
  8. i'm a big second amendment fan now.
  9. remote learning is terrible. most of the kids dont pay attention. we had remote kindergarten last year. total joke.
  10. chicago cancels school as teachers vote not to return to work in the classrooms because of covid concerns.
  11. when did they get to michigan?
  12. i think theyre still a year away from spending big money on a free agent. wait until edvinsson is ready to form a solid d partnership with seider, or lead a solid second pairing. then go get your center. in the meantime see if you can sign larkin to a reasonable extension. bert? that's a bigger question. you have to see if vrana can be in the mix too. he'll be due for a pay day too.
  13. if youre yzerman, do you spend the money for hertl next year? larkin and hertl as your top two centers might look pretty nice...
  14. yeah, i dont know. but i think that hard core scottish presbyterianism is a link between the appalachian peoples and a lot of the frontier settler populations you see in much of the upper south. they were some of the first settlers who came here to work from england/scotland/ireland, and then left virginia to settle the frontier (and north carolina). those who stayed in virginia - and who became much of the planter class of the plantation south - tended to be anglicans. think of our image of robert e lee (genteel southern gentlemen) as opposed to the rowdy, expressly overtly severely religious scots/irish who tended to be lower class workers. if you have curiosity stream, there is a really good lecture series on the history of the south taught by an american history professor. its really interesting as to how slavery developed and the peoples who made up what became the south as opposed to the north and the midwest.
  15. sharks just gave up 8 to the pens. can the wings catch them?
  16. fabbri makes it 6. wings are sniping the top corner tonight.
  17. and then larkin with a nice backcheck too.
  18. larkin with a great shot makes it 5-2. great assist by raymond.
  19. rowney in a bad giveaway and its 4-2
  20. they were a top 10 team preseason and the co-favorite to win the big ten. this was not supposed to be a "transition" year, this was a final four contender.
  21. 1) you need to change the title of this thread. 2) how long before tater calls for howard to be fired? this has got to be the most disappointing season in michigan basketball in a long, long time.
  22. seeing that replay of helm and glendenning gave me bad flashbacks.
  23. i dont think they think that about gattis. if they were thinking about replacing harbaugh, they would likely turn to someone like matt campbell before gattis. i could be totally wrong and harbaugh could bolt for the pros, he'a a weird cat and could suddenly decide that's what he wants to do, but i honestly dont think he'd leave michigan in the lurch like that.
