Genuinely Sarcastic: Where Did You Go?
http://genuinelysarcastic.blogspot.com/2014/08/where-did-you-go.html
Thursday, August 21, 2014. Where Did You Go? On October 16, 2010,. I sat (stood) in the Michigan Stadium student section for the first time, quite literally right behind the band. It was, naturally, an experience quite different from sitting elsewhere in the stadium, where down-in-fronters and romance-novel-readers. THIS ISN'T FUN ANYMORE! Outside of 2011, when was the last time Michigan was "fun"? Since the photo that opened this post was taken, Michigan has played 16 seasons. Eight, exactly half, o...

Genuinely Sarcastic: Sometimes The Bear Gets You
http://genuinelysarcastic.blogspot.com/2014/03/sometimes-bear-gets-you.html
Monday, March 31, 2014. Sometimes The Bear Gets You. March 20, 2011, Round of 32: #1 Duke 73, #8 Michigan 71. March 29, 2013, Sweet 16: #4 Michigan 87, #1 Kansas 85. March 30, 2014, Elite 8: #8 Kentucky 75, #2 Michigan 72. Of it To cap an already-improbable comeback with that. The answer is there is none, other than whatever asinine rationale the officials who made the calls decided. What's the difference between Marcus Lee's putback slam in the first half that was blatant, flagrant, and obvious offe...

Genuinely Sarcastic: Starve The Beast
http://genuinelysarcastic.blogspot.com/2014/09/starve-beast.html
Saturday, September 27, 2014. Shane Morris had no business being in the game to be illegally destroyed like that. Had no business being in the game AFTER being illegally destroyed like that. Let that meme be snuffed out forever after today's farce. Shane Morris could barely stand up in the third quarter after wrenching his ankle. That happened on the first play of a drive that began with 12:44. And his head coach claimed after the game that he did not notice anything wrong. You think this is over? Get wo...

Genuinely Sarcastic: Attention to Detail
http://genuinelysarcastic.blogspot.com/2010/11/attention-to-detail.html
Monday, November 29, 2010. Note: This is not my work. I did not do the research, I did not voice the opinion, I did not tell the story or transcribe the narrative. I just happen to agree with it wholeheartedly and believe that this is the most logical, most even-keeled, and overall best representation of our present situation. So, without further adieu:. Subject: What was, what might have been, what is, and what could be. Is this really the case? DT: Johnson (with Martin making early contributions).

Genuinely Sarcastic: Prodigal Son
http://genuinelysarcastic.blogspot.com/2014/12/prodigal-son.html
Monday, December 29, 2014. Again As Michigan's experiment with Rodriguez flatlined, the militant lust for the fabled "Michigan football" of Bo, Mo, and Lloyd suddenly found its savior in a native son who personified everything we had lost from 2008 through 2010. As I commented here,. My first encounter with the emerging Harbaugh faction was an unpleasant and alien intrusion into the fanbase; a devious strain of backstabbers openly rooting for a new coach 2500 miles away. Two days later, after a hilarious...

Genuinely Sarcastic: Darkest before dawn.
http://genuinelysarcastic.blogspot.com/2008/10/darkest-before-dawn.html
Monday, October 6, 2008. I arrived at Michigan Stadium. I assuaged the Illini fans' nerves. I told them, "As long as Stevie Brown, Brandon Harrison and Charles Stewart are at the safety positions for Michigan, Illinois will be fine." I told them that Arrelious Benn was a horse; they agreed. Are you KIDDING me? You're at a FOOTBALL GAME, YOU MANIAC. If you want to read Through My Eyes. By Barbara Delinsky, STAY HOME! And that damn woman still read her goddamn book and tempted my rage. I'm pretty sure the ...

Genuinely Sarcastic: Saigon
http://genuinelysarcastic.blogspot.com/2010/11/saigon.html
Saturday, November 27, 2010. So, as it stands now, there are two camps: one still throws out offensive ranking statistics and "youth"; they want Rodriguez back. The other throws out defensive ranking statistics; they want Harbaugh. So yeah, I'm off the bandwagon. I'm "all in" for Michigan. Not comparing something as ultimately trivial as football to something as real and horrifying as war, but as a history major, I can't help but see the parallel. And right about now, Michigan football is reaching th...

Genuinely Sarcastic: The Expectations of a #8 Seed
http://genuinelysarcastic.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-expectations-of-8-seed.html
Friday, April 25, 2014. The Expectations of a #8 Seed. Photo by Dave Reginek/NHLI via Getty Images). Bruins 3, Red Wings 2 (OT); Eastern Quarterfinals, 1- 3. But at no point were we surprised. Who knows. Would that Red Wings team have been able to beat Vancouver in the Western Conference Finals? Drafts since the turn of the century, they haven't even had a first round pick at all! At 6'5, 205, he certainly has less physical maturing to do than previous prospects in the system. Boy was that a big loss bac...

Genuinely Sarcastic: Crossroads and Perception
http://genuinelysarcastic.blogspot.com/2014/07/crossroads-and-perception.html
Wednesday, July 2, 2014. Usually not much of anything happens in sports during the dog days of summer. Baseball's usually the only gig in town, and I can't figure out this year's Tigers squad for the life of me. People with the US defeat, my interest in the World Cup is only intensifying because "my" team is playing France on Friday. MGoBlog's superb summation of the American experience in the World Cup. Like many Red Wings fans have been itching to do for a few years now. To try and downplay the 24-2 re...
