you and me both on the height .... There was a kid out of Middletown who was 5'8" and swam pretty well and played on the soccer team too - can't remember his name but we saw each other in the pool and on the pitch a couple times.

love this reference!!!

Was completely in awe swimming against them (not that you can count what I did as swimming against them) in the late 80's, early 90's.  That's right ... they tapered for nationals.  What a thought .... 

What is the ultimate key?   We have the talent, the physical prowess, and the staff to do this.  So, I don't think it's a matter of whatever it is we're doing physically speaking - this is a mental issue, first and foremost.  It's going to come down to leadership - the leadership the coaches have/display and the leadership that certain players have/display.  The articles I've read about players and the staff ..... seem to point to this.  

such an unfortunate truth.

He reminds me a lot of coach (Luke) Fickell,” Harrison said. “He gives off that vibe that I had when I first came here with coach Fickell.

that makes sense .... thanks!

someone please educate me ... what is the difference between big skill and skill?

I had some of the weirdest things stolen from me in the military and at college - just stupid little things - I imagine that a monogram could dissuade someone from taking the stapler knowing it's permanently etched.   But I would have bought a Sharpie or something - not have it monogrammed.

you actually have one of those to give?

I love that he's being rewarded for his work!

(edit note: didn't read your last sentence until just now - so rewriting this reply)

Yeah ... it was 3 years ago - just excited that he's doing well in the NFL now.  Hopefully this won't be an issue we discuss in 3-5 years with Day's team management!!

Little tired of hearing about the Michael Thomas mismanagement.  Don't get me wrong - I completely agree that his utilization was mismanaged.  But let's get over it ... like yesterday.

Dude ... mine too.  "Look how much $$ I saved!!"   <sigh>  I suppose it is saving money if you were going to spend it anyway - but you wouldn't have spent the money had the "free cash" not been dangled in front of you.  I  love her though!

In your opinion, what must be done with the linebackers to make them more like the Silver Bullets of which fables are made and that we remember?   

yeah ... that's certainly more than just TX or AZ to Columbus (which at least there's a similar culture).  He moved from a totally different culture, different language, different country/continent, etc.  That would be tough for anyone - but a teen and his family?   Wow ... glad he could go home to see the fam!

Makes sense.

And there is no other way to drink a satisfying cup of coffee, my friend!

33 days until the first game .... 15 (obvious) + 4 (also obvious) + 8 (laces on football) + 5 (left hand) + 1 (#onetribe) = 33!   See?  Easy!!

I'm not a football expert (played soccer, swam, and ran track growing up) .... but I cannot figure out why Baron Browning has not been on the field more - it's not that I don't trust the coaches, I do.   It's surprising to see such a prospect still on the shelf.  

My exact thoughts on this ... it proves so many things.  Things like, we hired some good coaches; the kind of coaches that bring up the players well ... to still respect and love the man, but still be competitive in the game - that's the way it should be.  The completely inept, moronic, and emotionally deficient statements from Harbaugh continue to floor me - they really shouldn't, but they do.  I can't imagine why the University of *ichigan would want to retain him - that is, if they "want to do things the right way".   

Not in any particular order of importance ....

1. USMNT in a friendly in 1990 - I went to see Tony Meola - loved watching him play. 

2. Cowboys v. Redskins - 1978 - Thanksgiving Day game ... as an 6-year-old kid, wow!!!

3.  The Game, 2010 - Pryor's last home game .... loved that game though!

Just started watching Harbaugh's infomercial ... his introduction - where was he looking the entire time??   Love Dan Hope's question!!   JH's answer had nothing to do with Dan's question on what U* needs to do different to beat tOSU ... are you kidding me?  What a douche.  I had to stop there - it was too painful to continue watching.

laughed at the fact that he was replaced by Peyton Manning the following year.
