But Washington was a terrible matchup for this Texas team. Even so they were one play away.

The tough pill to swallow is that this Texas team matches up very well vs Michigan.

I realize that this is hypothetical. But that is how I feel. Damn.

Can anyone give a grade on Cottonwood Creek Golf Course?

He caught 54 passes for 746 yards and 5 TDs this past season. 👀

I'm not rooting for either team. DB grabs handful of jersey then pushes. No call. Announcers say "they're letting them play." No they are not calling penalties.

My guess is first aid being applied to everyone who knee jerked themselves in the face.

The problem was the pass defense. It was always going to be the pass defense. How could anyone not see that coming? Both the coverage as well as the rush.

From liberal Democrats John B. Judis’s and Ruy Teixeira’s new book, Where Have All the Democrats Gone?:

I just hope Michigan can score one more and make it something line 41-13

Looks timid.

Neither has a nationally elite quarterback. Those teams will struggle against anyone except Florida St., if the Noles even make it in.

I assume so.

The pragmatic and "correct" outcome in my opinion would be to rule it is a political issue to be decided by the voters.

However, the WSJ has a story today about the quandary this presents the conservative majority. They have generally been steadfast in strict " textualism and originalism" interpretations of the constitution. They are not fans of pragmatic applications, even when it arguably could lead to chaos:


"The conservative majority, including Chief Justice John Roberts, considers itself textualist and originalist, and conservative legal scholars such as Will Baude and Mike Paulsen have argued that textualism and originalism argue in favor of disqualifying Trump from office. The text of the Fourteenth Amendment is self-executing, they argue, and allows state officials to decide who has “engaged in insurrection” as they see fit, without enabling legislation from Congress. Both the Colorado and Maine decisions relied on Congress’s conclusion in its January 6 report that Trump had aided or assisted the insurrection.

. . .

The election cases will revive the debate between the more pragmatic Chief Justice Roberts and the rest of the conservative majority, which tends to be more devoted to textualism and originalism. In his votes to uphold the Affordable Care Act and to avoid formally overturning Roe v. Wade, Roberts has emphasized the importance of considerations such as respecting precedent or maintaining the Court’s nonpartisan legitimacy."

If these guys had called our game last week, we would have won by 21

That QB at Wash ain’t gonna see the ball much. We just gonna pound you and your D can’t stop us.

NM

Actually glad they beat Washington after their behavior last week.

Who woulda thunk it?

I can’t wait to go into the Big House and watch us knock them off!

...I'm confident that's where we are headed.

Bullhorn

None of any of that last week!

I want Michigan to win but think Washington takes it. 30-24

Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving team,

Michigan -2, O/U 46.5
Texas -5, O/U 64.5

Lines already moved to Michigan -1.5 and Texas -4

Going to Draft

Didn’t see it on here.

Anyone else not GAF?

Two undefeated teams, Penix, McCarthy, etc., and I still don’t care much.

Ok, one more personal anecdote, despite yesterday's promise. I'll try to make it short. The summer I turned 19 or 20, I inherited the job of coaching a Little League team in my little hometown up in the panhandle. My dad agreed to help me, and while his fund of baseball knowledge was far superior to mine, he had gone blind by then so I couldn't exactly put him in charge of pitching BP. Anyhow, three kids and one mom taught me most everything I know about communication and leadership in a 60-day crash course, lessons I've tried to remember to this day.

This mom had two boys on the team. One was a great big ol' kid, 12 years old; the other was a scrawny 8-year-old who didn't belong at that level. I mostly tried to keep the little one from getting hurt at practice. After our first game, I'm sacking up the equipment down in the dugout, when a beautiful sunset was blacked out by the looming presence of this mom, towering over me. It was like a biblical prophecy. "Yew know what I'd do if I was yew?" she drawled. Going with our Bible theme, I began to pray that the earth would swallow me up, but she says "That little un of mine, he don't belong here. We gotta send him back to the minors. And that big un? You need to kick his butt." I started to protest, but she interrupted "No I mean you gotta kick his butt; it's the only thing he understands."

I said three boys. The third was very different. He came from what we called back then a "broken home." His parents were divorced. He was a great athlete, but reaching him was very different. If you raised your voice in criticism, you lost him. You could see it in his eyes, in the cloud that formed over his little face, producing a rainstorm of tears. If you had two functioning synapses, you knew never to let that happen again. Like Pooh and Piglet from yesterday's Gift, you had to touch this kid. You had to put a hand on his shoulder. In those days you could hug a kid without getting turned into CPS or going to therapy. He responded mightily.

And the big ol' kid? I stopped just short of taking a bat to his thick skull. His mom beamed, and he hit 12 home runs on the season.

One size does not fit all. Each of us is unique. On the days we feel too dumb, too old, too...whatever, we'd do well to remember that "...we are the clay...He is the potter, and we are all the work of His hand." He knows how to communicate with each of us, in a way that speaks to US, whether we need our butts kicked, or our hand held.

Take the field. Who can I reach today, by taking a different approach?

May you know the blessings of Peace.
