Now, now, the Python fans should know well that it is entirely possible for your name to be spelled Raymond Luxury-Yacht but pronounced Throatwobbler Mangrove. Actually, it's more common than one might realize, I would imagine. You'll simply be refused a startling amount of interviews, that's all.

|Tier 4...
I am forced to wonder if calling Purdue a Tier 4 team is just a roundabout way to tell Darrell Hazell that you've evaluated his talent and.....well, let's not discuss it, right? I mean, if there was a way to tell someone without telling them, like if my wife just told me I was a Tier 4 Closet Occupant, I would look at the pile of workout shirts on the floor and understand what she meant.

See, all it took was for someone to remind them that the current model for financing the airing of these games doesn't work so well when you schedule them at times when no one can watch them. I should say that this is fine for a mid-September Vanderbilt vs. Only Team Worse Than U game because you don't want people to watch that necessarily (and the only sponsor you could get was Uncle Ed's Oil Shoppe), but the CFP semifinals? Yeah, different strategy.

As much as I would like to see an Olympics other than Atlanta (which I visited) in my lifetime, I don't know that I would necessarily go to Rio even if I could afford to do so right now. This one just seems like it has the potential to be less than great for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is the Zika virus.
Congratulations to Dhani though - I have to think that covering any Olympics is an awesome gig on a lot of levels.

|I Don't Know...
Like others, I am intrigued to see play the likes of Marquette, Texas, UCLA and a few others, but again it seems like we run into the problem of following up chances to build tournament resumes with game that don't seem like they would count for much towards that. I would agree with the person that said even changing some of the low RPI teams out with some MAC opponents would probably make a world of difference. I am really only guessing there, but it seems like we undersold ourselves on the OOC schedule.

No complaints about our 55" Samsung really, although we did get the SmartTV and part of me is still trying to fathom some of the capabilities of smart televisions which seem rather un-TV-ish, if you will. I can get most of the major apps that I can on my phone, although some apps make more sense on the phone than on the TV. I guess it is about finding some weird digital balance.

Ah, but what if you're standing in the part of the yard which, while you might maintain it, is technically in the municipal right-of-way? I've always wondered if this affects the answer to that particular question. It doesn't in my case, but I have always wondered how others may feel about this.

"They're definitely up there. If they're not the best they are way up there. Pretty much all the guys I went against last year when they shut us out, I believe most of them are back again. Those guys already knew what they were doing, and another year with very good players and coaches … I'm sure they'll be even better."
Part of me wants to say this eminates from Maryland if we're talking 2016 opponents. Is it possible we could do better than a shutout, maybe beat them bad enough that they actually must yield any points scored in their previous game to us? That would be interesting.

|Seger And Spotify...
Seger has said in a couple interviews that the problem stems from an ongoing disagreement between him and Capitol Records on media rights. He never goes into immense detail - he probably can't - but a lot of it has to do with pricing and a few other items, or so I understand. He always encourages people to go out and actually buy the physical album though, being rather an old-school person.

|To Be Absolutely Fair...
To be absolutely fair, I do believe he hit a 48-yard FG against Vanderbilt although I could be misremembering. Quite frankly, I kind of have the same image of his yardage / success distribution as being almost asymptotic to a particular distance rather than a typical curve like you might expect. I remember a lot of 44 and 45-yard attempts too for some reason.

|At This Point...
It just seems to me that, at this point, they are essentially trying to blame the world for something which they did to themselves as a football culture, almost as if they won't deny it per se but they would rather there was some unwritten agreement whereby the abuse was not mentioned. It almost harkens back to the generation of Germans immediately after WWII who had to deal with history books that fast forwarded to Konrad Adenauer after the chapter on the Weimar Republic, or at least there seems to be that air of "let's just not discuss and maybe it will go away on its own..." logic on their side. The problem is that it needs to be discussed so that it doesn't happen again.

|Well, To Be Fair...
Well, to be fair, at 35 years old, his career as an NFL receiver was well on its way to that, but even so, it is a good depth signing for Detroit and more than likely he makes the team. It doesn't make the Lions hugely better, but it makes them better at wide receiver. They can definitely use him - the problem (well, one of them) is that they have to narrow the, oh, 3,000 receivers to maybe six for the regular season roster.

The OP was correct in that the other thread doesn't offer more than the speculation, whereas now a few outlets are indeed running with the story that he is definitely set to step down in 2020, so we can leave this thread.
There is precedent for doing this on the blog anyway - the "might happen" thread is often followed relatively quickly with the "will be happening" thread and generally we leave both because merging in this interface is hard. Actually, it isn't possible, insofar as I know.

"I have a lot of energy, and I have a lot of interest in what's going on in the college space today from the operational issues, reform issues, and the existential threat," Delany said Tuesday during his annual address at Big Ten media days in Chicago. "So I will be around for a bit. Whether I'm around here for six years is probably a little bit beyond how I see it."
I mean, he'd be 74 in six years so I would be shocked if he hung around that long, particularly in this sort of position. As much as we joke about Delany essentially having the charisma of a cadaver and all the charm of one to boot, being the conference commissioner is probably one of those roles where you've seen some shit, and 27 years is a long time to hold it too.
I wonder who they would get or if they would tap someone already employed in the conference.

I liken it to music sometimes - you hold down a key on an organ or whatnot for an entire bar, you get a pleasant sound sometimes. You hold down the "Save" button on a post on MGoBlog, you get a pleasant posting error sometimes. It merely depends on which key and which post.
Or it could be what happens to me - mindless tapping of active control buttons on the site. Either way, you know? All I know is people ask me to delete them all the time, not realizing I would have to do it one post at a time in this version of the interface, which is why I ignore a great majority of such requests.

He may very well be (really, he is - I am trying to be polite), but he was the second-to-last coach to get Kansas football a 10-win season - 1995, I believe. He's got that anyway, although it isn't much. He's also the man that Minnesota dumped in order to trade up for Tim Brewster, of course, so I suppose there is that too.

"American Gladiators" was admittedly a guilty pleasure of mine growing up.

I think that many of the experts to which you refer have to push that as a possibility because it is still mistifying to them that someone could leave the NFL, and it hard for them to believe that any such departure may be permanent. At least, this is the narrative that they feel compelled to push - not sure if the NFL would fall in love with a story of how it has shallow, vapid people running teams and those people chase talented coaches away. Pretty sure Goodell would be on the phone about that one.

Yeah, I realize that polls like this are - in the end - an attempt to make the college football news cycle last all year, but I have to say that this and other positive predictions for Michigan and its players do help me make it through the offseason with a smile about what could be rather than an angsty sort of look.

Basically, but as you will note, only about 15%-20% of Division I (and some beyond) made the cut, so there had to be some sort of early elimination process. Either way, this is going to be a long, long table of hats (should he choose in such a manner) whenever the time comes. If it is evidence of an off-kilter sense of hummor, he already fits in at Michigan.

It always seemed like Green's time at the college level got lost in the discussion, but he was Big Ten Coach Of The Year in 1982 with Northwestern.

Ultimately, we have to ask ourselves whether the factors that have caused their declines over the past 15 years are structural.
I would say that a lot of Michigan's problems over that time period were structural and cultural. When you combine a growing complancency like what seemed to exist in the early 2000s with a risk-averse football philosophy and then you abandon it suddenly, then abandon that in favor of a shoddy imitation of what was originally there, you create a cultural clusterfuck inside and outside the department. That's what makes the abilities of Hackett and the imagination and charisma of Harbaugh so amazing to me on many levels, when you look at where we were just before Halloween in 2014 versus right now.

I have trouble seeing a scenario in which Notre Dame goes all in on the ACC and joins them in football because quite honestly the South Bend / Mishawaka market doesn't scream footprint, but then again, ND has this national following that, even in 2035 would like to see what remains of Tom Hammond doing games on NBC, or indeed any network.

It's pretty clear that Alabama is going to make a late run here but they definitely have some work to do yet. Colorado is still the comfortable overall leader as of the last update, although by percentage the SEC is in the lead for offenses committed as a conference.

|My Own Story...
Well, had I not been goaded into going to the hospital in December, I might have experienced total heart failure inside a couple weeks, or something else had I allowed the fluid in my lungs to gel and cement. Definitely fortunate there.
I was actually caught in a small building that was mostly obliterated during a torando many years ago, and as it was plowing through, I was pretty sure for a few minutes that, well, that might be that. I was 20 and we were golfing out near Pinckney on a July afternoon when the sky began to darken a little bit - like a lot of storm fronts, it's pretty gradual, or so it seems. From the look of the sky, we thought we could get in at least a few more holes.
As the wall cloud approached, we noticed it was quite low and suddenly it became eerily quiet, which in many cases is a bad, bad sign. We ran for the nearest structure, which was small, partially enclosed cabana, got under a picnic table, and hoped for the best. It turns out the roof of that cabana can be supported by picnic tables, because in the howling, deafening wind (and this was an EF1 tornado, so not so impressive) down it came. Once it had passed, we crawled out from under the table and then along one of the few newly created small corridors made in the confusion.
I am not easily frightened, but I was fucking frightened in those minutes. I was pretty sure that might be it.

"Everybody was complacent with where we were and Coach Harbaugh came in and said, 'We're going to do this. We're going to win this game. We're going to do that right now,'" Lewis said.
I hate to say that you could tell the complacency had set in by 2014, not to mention that there weren't really many clear expectations if any at all. Correcting these two things alone probably went a long way towards what we say last year - now, everyone looks "hungry" and you can tell they are driven by goals. it's very refreshing indeed.

Then, of course, I get finish on me, and what do I do but exclaim "Motherfucker..." rather loudly. So, for the next couple weeks, when my son would spill something or get something on his clothes, he would say "Motherfutter", which sounds suspiciously like, well, you know.

If you can have a positive takeaway from this game at all (and that's pretty difficult), it is that this was another example in an early stage of Harbaugh's tenure here of how he has drilled into this team finding ways to win even if many aspects of the game play itself are, well, not looking so hot (put mildly, in the case of this game). Like Minnesota to a certain extent, they did not give up and could get it done when it mattered the most. That alone is a major improvement from 2014 and will continue to buy them the odd win in the future. That I will take. Still, this game would be a tough watch again.

I am sure a little good news will help ease the tensions of the ongoing OT Season in the board, or at least I hope so - definitely would not have signed up for the mod gig if I knew some of these threads would exist.

|To Clarify....
To clarify, the problems start when someone decides to be dickish, proselytizing, smug, intolerant (some have been all of those in the same sentence) or any one of a number of things which would stifle open discussion, and so far that hasn't happened here. With these sorts of threads, in about 9 out of 10 cases, it isn't the message or the OP, it is the people responding and their own attitudes that cause the problems and lead to a lot of these threads eventually ending poorly.
Yeah, people are going to say "no religion", but in my own interpretation - and Brian or Seth can correct me at any time - is that mere greetings such as what the OP posted are typically fine and inoffensive save to the few who can't handle even that - otherwise, virtually all of the Christmas, Easter, Passover and other threads would be taken down as well, rather than the select few which were invaded by problematic posters. Overt preaching would likely be an auto-ban, but that's definitely not what is going on here.

The word on the street is that once Phil Steele finally gets a quote he likes from the folks at Xoom for hosting the site, he'll migrate it and revamp it and then it should really look like he wants finally. They have to move to HTML 3.2 first so Netscape users can properly view the site though.

|Cool Story Indeed...
Those of us who live minutes away sometimes forget what a real treat it can be to visit a city like Ann Arbor and a campus like the University Of Michigan, especially for those among us like me who both grew up nearby and went to school there. I admit that the things that I get to see every week and did even before I was a student can really light up eyes and fill people with wonder even if they are sometimes old hat to you some levels.
This is a cool story indeed, and I also probably could spend an entire day inside Schembechler Hall - even if you're local like me, Michigan's history never, ever will get old to you even if the scenery on the block might sometimes.

|Way Too Early Stuff...
Even though the lines from any source at this point are mere discussion points for a football-starved world, you still have to feel pretty confident that - working on all cylinders - this football team could beat just about anyone you put in front of it. Granted, that's just a feeling, but even if you didn't show me the extremely preliminary lines, I would like our chances in just about any game this year, even "Stripe The Birthplace".

|Kindle Reading...
Actually managed to get a copy of "The Matheny Manifesto" by Mike Matheny and it's actually a pretty interesting read, mainly geared at parents looking to get kids involved in a sport like baseball, but he injects his own experience as a player and coach and now MLB manager into it as well. A bit like Harbaugh, there's a heavy emphasis on character and trying to instill and develop that as well.
I would like to read "Billy Martin: Baseball's Flawed Genius" before the summer is out as well.

|For Convenience...
For convenience, because it is only a 40-minute drive from Romulus, we find ourselves at Fifth Third in Toledo a few times a year and it is how I have managed to get the kids at least somewhat into baseball because they like that atmosphere moreso than Comerica. It is a nice place for an inexpensive family outing.
I've also caught minor league games in Akron, Columbus, South Bend, Louisville, Indianapolis and a few other places.

As a sidenote, I remember seeing Messner a few times when he was not on the field as we used to get music and supplies from Hammell Music in Livonia back in the day and I believe Del Pretty was a partner there.

We joke about it, of course, but there is nothing that says AIRBHG does not have his own version of Dashavatara and that one of his forms pays an occasional visit to a school such as Georgia.

|About That...
The tragedy at the time was that the MLB itself did not publish its own record book, so it wasn't until they did in fact get control of that some time after 1961 that the distinction was erased and Maris was listed as the recordholder. I believe there's a story out there that Frick was a personal friend of Ruth and invented the distinction (which was unofficial) on behalf of his late friend.

|I Would Agree...
As ugly as this game got on a lot of levels, it was a successful test of the culture that Harbaugh has been creating in Michigan football and a successful test of a very important trait he is teaching in particular- there is zero quit in this team. That alone made it a nice victory overall.

Fortunately, the cabin we're going to has a smoker so I can do this - I seem to get stuck with all the cooking whenever we make these trips.

"Just the atmosphere," Taylor said of his decision to pick Michigan. "They've got the best fans. There's just a certain feeling you get when you go. It's a feeling I got from Michigan that I fit very well for the offense and I've got a good relationship with the coaches and Coach Harbaugh. I love it up there."
Well, contrary to the expectations of certain SEC coaches, it definitely has not been all that cold up here recently so we've go that going for us too.
In all seriousness, Taylor sounds like he's got a great attitude and a great work ethic - generally, a great fit for the culture that Harbaugh is creating here in Ann Arbor.

Admittedly, I am a bit snobbish about beer, but for me it is about the experience and enjoyment.

We're headed up north in a few hours to spend a couple days at a friend's cabin up near Harrison, so while there is wi-fi, modding might be sporadic.

As I can now drink again, even though they would rather I not get plastered, I can actually enjoy a beer with my burger for the first time in six months, so there is that.

I think you need to look at it this way - one theory estimates that by the 2050s or thereabouts, the Lake Erie basin, which includes southeastern Michigan, will possibly have a climate profile similar to, say, the St. Louis area, so it is entirely possible that - if that holds - the SEC might finally start playing up here en masse in the OOC schedule. If that were to hold, just think - it only took a regional climate shift for those chickenshits to do it too.

I guess that, in my mind, beating one of the two rivals is a "development marker", if you will, for this team and what Harbaugh is building in Ann Arbor. Michigan State is probably the easier one by a mile this year among the two, but yet in my mind beating either would suffice. Beating both would be an unexpected bonus just by my own expectations this season. I will say, however, that losing to MSU and beating OSU would probably make me forget that we lost to MSU, if that scenario happened, and forgetting MSU is as it should be anyway really.

|Oh Good Grief...
"The people we're competing with – Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame – this is just not something they have to deal with. Although we want to move on, those other schools are not letting us move on."
Especially because Penn State has a frightening inability to learn the lesson and move on themselves, there's no reason to let them. They seem as if they will never learn, and for their inaction and then their attempt to portray themselves as the victim by others and now Franklin, they should be forever reminded of what their athletics culture enabled. So that such a human disaster is hopefully mitigated in the future, they should be reminded of it.
Move on? No, I don't think so. Not after they allowed that to happen.

|Interesting Question...
Around me anyway, the leagues are still there and they are still going strong, but as others have said, the cost now if you're serious about it is pretty high and I think pursuing it to that level - travel laegues or organized school teams and so forth - tends to make little league almost like a gateway 100-level course in some places. When I played, most schools still didn't charge for participation and rates weren't that bad, so those leagues were a little more visible, I think. It seems like there is a drop in casual play of baseball - we did that a lot as kids, whereas now I don't see neighborhood baseball games just happen.

ZURICH FIFA president Sepp Blatter praised AC Milan midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng on Monday for displaying courage when he walked off the pitch last week in protest at racial abuse.
However, the head of the world governing body said that such gestures were not a long-term solution to the problem.
"If a player walks off the pitch because he has been racially abused, just as AC Milan player Kevin-Prince Boateng did, it is a strong and courageous signal, a way of saying it has gone too far," Blatter said at the Player of the Year ceremony.
"It is praiseworthy but it cannot be the solution in the long term, we have to find other solutions to get to the root of the problem, otherwise such stands will be made in isolation and will get lost.
"Football must not separate people."
Boateng, who played for Ghana at the 2010 World Cup, took his shirt off and walked off the pitch after being racially insulted in a friendly against a lower tier side.
The other Milan players followed him and the match was abandoned.

SEOUL, July 1 (Yonhap) -- Prosecutors said Monday they were questioning a former opposition party official to determine whether he unlawfully kept a government intelligence agent from leaving her house while trying to obtain evidence that she meddled in last year's presidential election.
The National Intelligence Service (NIS) has been under investigation by prosecutors for allegedly mobilizing its agents for an online smear campaign against Moon Jae-in, the opposition candidate of the Dec. 19 election, to sway public opinion ahead of the election.
After being emerged as a suspect, the female agent, surnamed Kim, locked herself in her apartment in southern Seoul for two days when a large number of reporters, the main opposition Democratic Party (DP) officials and police officers camped outside her home.
Kim let herself out of her home on Dec. 13 after deciding to hand over her computer hard drives to police officers.
Kim and the ruling Saenuri Party soon filed legal complaints against DP officials, arguing that they had violated her human rights by not allowing her to leave the apartment.
The Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office said it has arrested a former official of the DP, surnamed Cheong, on Sunday.
"We arrested Cheong as he has repeatedly disobeyed the summons," a prosecution official close to the investigation said, adding that a decision regarding whether to indict him will be determined depending on the results of Monday's questioning.
Last month, prosecutors indicted the then NIS chief, Won Sei-hoon, on charges of meddling in last year's presidential election with the online campaign.

I saw a creppy long gray centipede type creature run across my bed as I came out of the shower and got out of the hotel as soon as possible.
