In one week, the Wolverines went from being unranked to No. 4. Pretty cool. Now all we have to do is beat the No. 1 team in the country on its home court tomorrow. I have been completely wrong (so far) on Juwan Howard. I thought it was a typical "hire the famous alum" type hire and I didn't think h...

[/quote] Is Harbaugh in any legit danger of getting sacked?[/quote] Not that I am aware of. He does well enough so that the yearly thumping by OSU is not enough to put him in danger. I've read several articles this weekend that emphasize the talent gap between the two schools, e.g., the number of 5 ...

1 outta 2 ain't bad

Yep, kind of used to it by now. But it still sucks.

We looked good in whipping Gonzaga's butt. Looking forward to see where we are at in this week's rankings -- should be one of the biggest moves in a long time from not being ranked to, hopefully, top 10. Now all we have to do is beat OSU today in football and it will be the best weekend ever.

Seems like we always lose when we play Michigan in November (we lose to them in other months but we also win- November is another story). Today was one of the worst shooting games I've seen outta the Heels in ages- not only were they missing everything, they also had guys who should be economical i...

I am very much IN for this one.

Awesome, we shall have to do some serious pre-gaming.

This is always a fun week for college hoops, love all the tournament action and should be some pretty good games in the next few days. Hate to see MSU go down yesterday. :D Of course, the game of the week/year/century will be tomorrow morning's Michigan/ISU match-up. Will be our first real test of t...

Surprised that they are doing only one night at Metro as it is smaller than Thalia, and didn't they basically sell out the two show stand there in 2018? Also, they will be touring behind a new album, so you think that would increase rather than decrease the crowd. Anyway, happy we are getting a sho...

Drive-By “Fuck The Midwest” Truckers up to their typical shenanigans... Last time I checked Indy, Chicago, St Paul, and St Louis were in the Midwest The Midwest is comprised of 12 states. That’s four shows, spread widely across four states, with no two night stands. No Ohio? No Southeast Michigan? ...

battle of the lightweights as i take on Clams for the battle over last place. I'm just happy this league doesn't have a sack-o prize. That's the award given to the last place finisher in Junior's league where last place finishers have been required to do things such as pierce their ear, get their c...

Not a good week for Phungi and losing to me twice in the same year is the ultimate humiliation. On the plus side, his pain and despair will be good for his art, so this week's chapter should be especially good.

Assuming we don't get snowed in, me and the Ms. are heading down for this weekend's show. Somehow it will actually be our first shows of the year -- this is my longest gap in 18 years without a show, so I'm jonesing for a couple of nights of rawk and roll and perhaps a beer or two or twelve. Looking...

Will be interesting year for the Wolverines, let's see how Howard grows into the job of coach. Have enough talent to make the tournament and win a game or two while there, but not deep or talented enough to compete with the big boys. Unlike Beilein, looks like Howard is going after the top recruits,...

It's time you give in to Jr's contract demands and get him back in charge.

Pretty damn close after 7 weeks -- 6 teams at 3-4 or 4-3, and one each at 5-2 and 2-5. Phungi continues dropping like a rock, while Clams continues his rise towards the top. Lots of football left, everybody still has a shot. I'm rooting for me.

Thinking of you. Stay strong and hang in there.

The only game i care about is PSU vs. Michigan, and I can't even watch it :x Unfortunately for me, I can. But I'm thinking I"ll see us lose by 3 touchdowns unless we play much much better than have so far this year. Michigan always seems to have PSU's number, though Good point, let's hope that cont...

Being a Lions fan has meant a life of pain and suffering. But what happened in MNF last night was a joke, it is unfathomable that the referees could be so obviously wrong on several game-changing calls, all in the 4th quarter.

Kind of like me now thinking that Ronald Reagan wasn't so bad after all.

Looking forward to this week’s creative writing by Phungi now that he has tasted defeat. Well, I ain't no poet (and don't we all know it), but here is my contribution: There once was a guy named Phungi Who is now sitting at home muttering "oh my" 'Cuz undefeated was he after fantasy week 3 But then...

True story: Adam Broad, a member of the FB DBT group is running for Congress in Illinois! :shock: At this moment that is exactly everything I know on the subject but I will try to learn more. I don't recognize Adam from the Chicago-area shows but I suspect i have danced on his toes at some point in...

Man, what a brutal game for the Wolverines. My 10 year old and I went up for the game, and I think he learned several new words in the first half. Well, he probably knew the words but not in the combination in which they were used. Its safe to say the Harbaugh honeymoon is over.

Mr B. wrote So it now looks like we aren't gonna make the Louisville show -- our friends band is no longer opening due to an illness and we have some stuff going on in Chicago that weekend, including a late-night Lucero show the night before. Enjoy, and hopefully I'll get a chance to buy you a beer...

It ain't easy being a Lions fan in his 50s, we've basically had a lifetime of underachievement and mediocrity. Losing an 18 point lead in the 4th quarter to one of the league's worst teams while making terrible coaching decision after terrible coaching decision is basically the last 50 years in a nu...

I believe my 10 year old learned some new combinations of words during yesterday's Army/Michigan game. Still can't believe we pulled it out, pure luck. My main cause for optimism is that it would be almost impossible for them to continue to play this poorly and be so careless with the ball. Luckily,...
