I don't know if this qualifies as a peeve, but for the 2nd time in my career I have finished a battery of interviews for a new position - which took place over 6 months - & then was notified yesterday that it was down to me & 1 other guy - & they were going to pursue them first. In some ways, it makes me think they liked what I had to offer - but this one came after they mistakenly sent me a rejection letter once & then rescinded it - put me thru 3 more interviews - & then moved on. Maybe it's just because it's fresh - but I hate putting that much mental energy into something to be let down.

There's a local Ariens dealer that can order the lower arms I need. Shouldn't be much to switch those out - & the engine still runs well. Thanks for the input everybody!

If it was Clink, he left for the Chargers before Sabb announced.

I was really hoping to baby the Ariens I got 4 years ago on FB Marketplace and make it thru this winter, but this morning the handle literally fell off in my hands - & there's really not enough metal there to try to weld it on. Wondering what you guys & gals use - and is there one in particular you would say run away from? What about electric vs gas? Anybody try the eco-friendly stuff yet?

I think that's a good move for him. Good, smart kid - I think he may have a nice future in coaching.

Thanks. My wife bought the 1/2 season package last year for me for Father's Day, but the special meant I couldn't watch any of the games live. It was all next day & I don't wanna pay for that again.

QUESTION - What's the easiest way to watch Tigers' games this season without cable?

Wow - I'd heard that before but it didn't dawn on me now why I should switch.

That is essentially what I told my wife at halftime when she started to get excited. I think we all knew it wasn't over, but I did not think it would unfold the way it did.

I feel like that was indicative of the SOL - This regime has done a lot to repair that culture.

The Lions got here at least a year before I thought they could - While I would have probably made different decisions regarding FGs in that last game, I am absolutely convinced DC is the right coach. He got more out of this group than he probably should have. Completely agree on CBs. I would put another edge rusher on par with that. Beyond that, I hope we use a best player available approach at the draft - Outside of perhaps RB, QB, & S, I don't know that there is any position group where we don't need depth.

Is it a done deal that Sherrone Moore gets the gig - `cuz I'd kick the tires on that dude from Kansas.

I'd be okay with them going after Brian Dutcher - or somebody like McDermott from Creighton

1 question - IF the Lions win Sunday, will you admit it isn't fixed?

This is exactly how I feel about it - In `91, I fully expected the Lions had turned a corner & would be back. Now, having lived thru these last 30 years - Plus the Tigers run, I am just enjoying the hell out of this & not really putting any expectations on it.

I'd be okay with Vrabel. I do hope the Lions will at least consider an interview with Jesse Minter. What he did with Michigan's Defense this year is impressive.

Ya know for all the talk from the league blaming the Lions, even the video they put out, said "You have to stand in front of the ref, gesture to your number, and report." Of the 2 lineman in question, only one did that. Taylor Decker.

It would be nice to get a little revenge for the Thanksgiving debacle too.

Not a young girl, but this is exactly my son. He has never been a hugger. Even now, visiting for Christmas, it's a begrudging little side hug - but there's no animosity at all. On a completely unrelated note - ESPN. Admittedly I shouldn't have waited until the 11th hour, but I signed up for ESPN-Plus on the app yesterday, for like $100, which they led me to believe would give me access to the Rose Bowl stream. It did not. I had to download the Varsity app to be able to get the UM radio call. I don't mind listening on the radio, but I'm more ticked about losing the $100.

Listening to all the Georgia smack over the past few days has been nauseating.

Obviously need JJ to play better - I think our WRs should be able to get a little more separation against UW than they did against Bama, which should help - especially with guys like Loveland. I think TOP will play a big role. Unlike the past 2 years, I think this M is resilient when tough times hit - They can withstand some blows from Penix & that offense, but if they can consume lots of time on their drives & keep the ball out of his hands, that's nice too.

Just re-reading the thread & thought this was interesting...Michigan had a lot of mistakes, especially on special teams. Did NOT capitalize on Milroe's fumble...& yet still had enough in the tank at the end to win it. This is surely a resilient bunch.

There is no way Skipper reported before Decker. There is no reason for Skipper to have reported. The refs just announced the wrong player. What I wonder is could the Lions hear that the wrong # was announced? If so, could they not correct the ref - or audible out of it?

Dude - I drink maybe 1 beer a week, if that - Came home on Thursday night & grabbed one. Ended up with gas so bad I sat up in a chair until 3:30 in the morning!
