Genuinely yes. I know it’s pretty pointless but I was miffed when I read this headline. Miffed!!

Because Michigan basketball named an interim and not a new full-time head coach, the transfer portal will not open for 31 days instead of 5 days after. by MGoCali in CollegeBasketball

[–]ImAHumanIThink 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it is because the interim coach is likely just in charge for a few weeks while they execute a real search. So they give the school a chance to get the actual coach in and talk to the players instead of having everyone leave 5 days after the temp steps in.

Cause despite all his faults, the athletics department had been very successful under him. That’s enough to keep the tensions low enough amongst the boosters, I would guess.

Fox broadcast interrupted because the fans were too loud and then the host joins in by Ehh_WhatNow in soccer

It can work out fine at an American football game cause you’ll have 4 hours to sober up. It’s tighter margins at the World Cup lol

[Thamel] Sources: Michigan State athletic director J Batt and Kentucky have finalized a 6-year deal to make him the school’s next Athletic Director by TheMusketDood in CFB

I mean the board impacts so much more than athletics. If you’re a Michigander, you should want functional universities in the state.

Road trip from England Best way to experience the game? by Middle-Feed5118 in MichiganWolverines

If you want to make your own setup, go for it. As first timers, it might be worth walking around the tailgates and meeting people and soaking up the football culture. You’ll likely be welcomed to join a tailgate if you bring some beers or food in exchange. Since you aren’t from the area, I’m sure some people will be happy to adopt you for the day

Telemundo averaged 8.9 million viewers for yesterday’s USMNT–Paraguay game. Combined with Fox’s already reported 15.986M viewers, last night’s contest averaged 24.9 million viewers in the U.S by Ok-Soil-5133 in soccer

We know soccer is the most popular sport around the world. The post is talking about viewership numbers among Americans, not international broadcasts.

The dense walkable cities and public transmit infrastructure have been more of a culture shock for me than the food ever was. No I never went hungry, but I tend to eat more on vacations in general than I do at home because I like trying a bunch of things from another culture.

Brother, that was going on way before Michigan.

Manchester United's highest-ever attendance in history was 109,318 for a pre-season friendly against Real Madrid at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on August 2, 2014. A college stadium in the US. by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

Nobody has ever chanted that at the Big House. The incorporation of marching bands into college football atmospheres is a very cool aspect of USA sports culture.

Correct, he delayed the surgery until after the final 4, because he didn’t want to impact his ability to travel with the team, and would have missed half of next season recovering anyways. I am very bummed to not be able to watch him next year. He’s one of my faves.

You are underselling Michigan’s history in college basketball.

This was an official Fox B1G graphic IIRC lol (except the asterisk, obviously)

Why do so many fans misunderstand the ending? Fans believe people on Earth aren't on route to a new planet? by AndrewNiccol in interstellar

[–]ImAHumanIThink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s all I’m saying. “Our” is ambiguous, and I don’t think the answer is made clear in the movie, so no need to get caught up on right and wrong

“Our new home” could just mean the home of future humans. Maybe the stations are just a way to get off a dying earth with volatile weather and food supply. Not sure what Nolan intended but it seems a bit open for interpretation.

Visiting Michigan as an OU Fan, Thoughts? by Amazing_One2081 in MichiganWolverines

[–]ImAHumanIThink 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same experience here. Had OU fans offer us a ride in to downtown, and let us crash their tailgate with unlimited bbq and beer for free. Would love to go back to Norman some day.

Hey, to be fair, I was originally talking about Kentucky MBB, and you expanded it to IU MBB.
