I'm simply stunned at your comments today, darell. You're usually one of the more positive posters on the site.

I've been a big Hoke supporter since his hiring but it looks like his ship has sailed. He doesn't have a clue. Although, for the folks screaming for a change at QB, well...there's your answer...NOT.

Michigan's offense embarrassing itself today...

Nothing less than a terrible tragedy. No parent should have to endure that kind of pain and heartbreak - send your kid to college 3-4 weeks ago and he comes back home like this? Awful. My prayers are with the family.

In January or February of 1988, with the temp at about -25, my friends and I were playing volleyball inside Hyslop. One of our group went up for a monster spike and came down hard on his ankle, practically snapping it in two. He sat on the floor in excruciating pain insisting that we were NOT to call an ambulance. It was about 5 minutes before closing time, I believe 10:00 pm. At around 11:00 pm, he's still writhing around on the floor in pain. The gym attendant said we had to get out ASAP. I walked across campus to the West/McVey lot and drove my car back to Hyslop, parking it right in front of the place by the "NO PARKING ANYTIME - DELIVERIES ONLY" sign. Between the time it took me to walk back into the gym and help my friends get Bobby outside into my car (maybe 5 minutes), Parking Enforcement had given me a ticket. I went to the appeals department and spoke with the head of the Gestapo PE staff and explained the situation. It was easily 11:45 - midnight and there were zero deliveries going on at that time of night The place was locked the second our group stepped outside. I even showed her paperwork from the ER indicating what time we checked in at the hospital. The hearing officer told me I should have either a) parked about 1/4 mile away in the nearest student lot and gotten the car when Bob was outside Hyslop and ready to go (nevermind his state of shock, bones sticking out of his ankle, and -25 degree weather) or b) called an ambulance. She offered me zero relief on the ticket - yes, it was only $10 back then, but that wasn't the point. Absolutely zero common sense...

And Minnesota absolutely pounds Detroit pitching yet AGAIN! If Detroit blows the division title, it has only itself to blame. 11, 2, 8, 4, 6 - the runs scored by the Twins in each of the last 5 games against the Tigers. 31 runs. Ouch. Detroit's totals? 4, 4, 4, 3, 8 - 23 runs total. Who's got the better pitching staff and bullpen?

Hopefully Michigan is fired up today. Their honorary captain will be 4 year old Chad Carr, grandson of former head Coach Lloyd Carr and son of former QB Jason Carr. Chad has an inoperable brain tumor and is currently undergoing radiation treatment. LOTS of chrome domes and ugly buckets around this weekend. More posts to follow.

HUH??

I figured you meant the Republic of Korea and not the DPRK.

Is Kim Jong-un piping in the game for you to Pyongyang?

In fairness to Muschamp, the amount of injuries Florida had last year would have made any team 4-8, not just his.

That 2013 title game appearance was a joke and you know it. From the phantom interference call in the Pitt game to the miracle of Manti T'eo, the whole sports world fell in love with the mystique of ND. Bob Davie...George O'Leary (until he resigned before coaching a game)...Ty Willingham...Charlie Weis...academic issues...a rape allegation that was covered up (the alleged victim committed suicide)...your Irish are golden in helmet color only.

So much for Phil Simms' grand-standing on Washington's nickname...I tuned in for all of 30 seconds and heard him slip up and say the word 'Redskins'... In his defense, he did say the potential for saying the word was there and that it's bound to happen.

Walked by a nice looking lady at the gas station tonight...she had some nice curbs.

Probably a pipe dream, but, boy, would URI be a nice fit in Hockey East along with Providence College, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, UMass, and the rest of the group out that way.

I'm sure JohnboyND7 had in his eyes over the Irish Shamrock Series helmet but this thing was an absolute mess.

I don't get the love for the Ravens' helmet...always thought this was a crummy color combination...

"to the curve"? Is that the expression these days? And all these years I've been saying "curb"...

That doesn't qualify as a "bucket" though...

All better. FYI: my non-collegiate sports "Chris Gomez home run" is still pretty embarrassing.

I don't know how you can argue that the original Tampa Bay helmet was a total fail when this chromified-gigantic logo mess is what they're wearing now... which used to look absolutely fabulous...behold, the Warren Sapp/Derrick Brooks/Mike Alstott/John Lynch beauties!

Fixed!
