    Simon gets 30 games

    If you set the league record for suspensions 2 times in a row, that in itself should be grounds for a rest of the season suspension. Still 30 games is reasonably long.

    2007 College Football Season Talk

    http://s31.photobucket.com/albums/c398/happypancake/UM-OSU/ I apologize for the mix of clear and blurry shots. I just uploaded all the ones I had before I have to get working on my homework. Sadly, all the shots of me (guy in the Michigan helmet) where I look incredibly drunk, I'm not. I just look like a dumbass in every picture for some reason. Lucky me.

    Offical Lloyd Carr retirement thread

    I got to see Lloyd in person coach his last Big Ten game. Even though they lost, I'm glad I got to go see him one more time. I'll post pics later if anyone is interested in seeing them.

    2007 College Football Season Talk

    Nitpick time! In the era before teams were guaranteed to play each other for the title, there is no such thing as 'half' a championship. Michigan won every game that year and beat multiple top 5 teams to do it. Sure Nebraska also won but that in no way detracts from Michigan's title. So there. I would say Michigan is an elite team. They are able to recruit based on their name alone and have fans all over the country. The main reason I say elite is because while yes, they have only 1 title in recent memory they still have the most wins and best winning percentage of all college teams. While teams like Miami and FSU won 3 or 4 titles in a decade or so, look at where both teams are now. Michigan has had 40 straight non-losing seasons ("non-losing" referring to the 6-6 1984 campaign. In 38 out of those 40 years Michigan has won 8 or more games ) and it's consistency like that that makes me still think of Michigan as elite. Michigan spends some time out of the polls but hasn't spent the entire season unranked like Miami or FSU has in recent years. Call me a homer but that's my two cents. And before timothy1997 comes on here saying Michigan should be kicked out of the conference etc etc, royally blowing one game to a ridiculously overmatched opponent doesn't tarnish Michigan's status as elite. Much as I love Lloyd, he has a knack for playing down to weaker teams and it finally bit him real hard in the ass. Manning threw 6 picks yesterday to a team coached by Norv effing Turner and I think history will still remember him fondly.

    It'd be funny if Michigan hadn't lost either and it were right back to #1 vs. #2 again and piss off all the SEC lovers. OH WELL.

    What are you reading right now?

    I'm absolutely crushed to hear that Robert Jordan, the Wheel of Time author, died on Sunday. Right as he was working on the last book too...RIP Mr. Jordan. Thank you for your wonderful stories.

    Dude, having a bad year doesn't make them an embarrassment. It's awfully hard to read your posts when it seems every one of them is somehow built around how much you personally don't like Michigan.

    What are you reading right now?

    Parallel Worlds by Michio Kaku. It's stuff like quantum, string and M theory plus origins of the universe etc etc for people lacking a background in the subject. Even still, parts of it are somewhat over my head. I'll probably read this book again for good measure.

    First ranked 1-A team to ever lose to a 1-AA team? Yes, you can and should lose your job if you're that coach.

    This f***s Michigan's whole season. No confidence for the rest of the year. I see a 4 or 5 loss team this year.

    2007 Baseball Season

    Ironically Texas beat Baltimore about 10 years ago 28-10. They got 18 runs in one inning which I think might be a record. Leave us alone Texas.

    Eklund at it again. Forsberg to Detroit?

    No. He would become a tool, much like my hammer in my toolbox, whose job it would be to score goals. When he did I would not be happy, much in the same way I don't jump for joy when my hammer successfully drives in a nail. When he didn't score he would continue to be the biggest piece of crap I've ever laid eyes on. Retire or sign somewhere else Floppa. We don't want you here, ever.

    The Distinct Kicking Motion Goal

    I saw this question mentioned in an article on ESPN.com and it has been something that has always bothered me. Honestly I don't really see the big deal if a player kicks the puck into the net if that's the only way he move the puck forward. To me it doesn't seem like the goalie is put in an unfair position by having the puck guided past him like that. What do you guys think?
