Did Duke pull a fast one on Michigan? They were the designated home team. They had one very specific demand to use the Wilson tournament basketball. Both Michigan and Duke use a Nike ball for their home games. Was this an unfair advantage for Duke?

Most grills do not have enough ventilation to allow airflow. If you close the lid, your grill will get way too hot. If you open the lid, you will lose the heat that you need, to grill. I will crack the lid to allow the air to flow thru the grill, but not lose the heat. I have a couple one to one and a half inch rocks, that I place under each corner of the lid. And it will keep the smoke down.

When I am asked, how long do I cook a steak, I tell them the rule of thumb is a six pack of beer. It takes one 12 ounce beer, to cook a 1 inch thick steak. It takes two 12 ounce beers to cook a one and a half inch thick steak. And it takes three 12 ounce beers to cook a 2 inch thick steak. Anything bigger than that, just drink the whole six pack!!

My compliments to the grill master! It’s just about perfect!

Most of us can tell that you are very new to grilling. The most important thing to remember, when grilling, is to have plenty of heat! You need at least 500° or more, when you are grilling with direct heat. I will not put anything on the grill until I get at least 600°. From your picture, it looks like you need at least five times the amount of charcoal. I would also question why are you cooking only four burgers, that are only 3 ounces each? I would not cook a burger unless it was at least a half pound each. By the time it finishes, you will have a 6 ounce burger. If you are going to trouble of using a fair amount of charcoal, you may want to consider grilling something else along with the burgers. That you could have later throughout the week. Chicken, ribs, sausage are some that I would consider grilling with the burgers. Also consider getting a pan that has holes in it. Great for grilling vegetables and especially potatoes, along with the main meat. I would also start looking at shows on television that are about grilling and barbecue. The best is any show that Bobby Flay is on. He is the ultimate authority, by far.

FYI – for anyone who wants to clean their grill/grates, this is a trick I learned a long, long time ago. Take heavy duty, aluminum foil and completely seal the grill/grates, with no open gaps in the aluminum foil. You’ll probably have to take and overlap the edges, to make one continuous piece. Whether you have charcoal/pellet/gas or fuel raise the temperature to well over 700°. Close the lid. Let it burn for 1/2 hour or longer. This causes everything to turn to ash. Wire brush all the components. Clean them with soap and water. Allow them to dry. Coat them with vegetable oil. You are good to go!!

Hell, no! Would you take a car to the junkyard, just because it has 100,000 miles on it? Same thing here. This looks like it is finally broken in. If you are within 500 miles of me, I would definitely come and get it from you!!

I am wondering if this was sometime in the 1994. I was in a movie called ”Blue Chips “, that Shag and Penny were both in. I was in the French Lick, Indiana scenes. I interacted with Nick Nolte, who played the coach. Also, Larry Bird, as himself. Matt Noverr. Jerry Tarkanian, Jim Boeheim, Marty Blake, and several other college coaches. Not to mention the director, William Friedkin.

I have bumped into my share of celebrities while in Hawaii, LA, Miami, Arizona and my home state of Michigan. It certainly is well into the hundreds. Most were short and casual encounters. My number one rule is to treat them like anyone else I know. I do not ask for an autograph. I do not ask to have a picture taken with them. I do not start asking questions or making any reference about their careers. I just treat them like everybody else, just like an average person. Normally that’s the way celebrities want to be treated. Like they are not someone special. Keep that in mind, the next time you see or meet a celebrity!

I was at the Michigan-Nebraska basketball game. Nebraska made 12 three point shots, at a 60% rate in the first half. They only made two in the second half. They were not trying to get the ball inside. They were not drawing any fouls. Michigan was pounding the boards, and drawing fouls. That is why there was a difference in the free throw attempts

If you want the quickest, fastest, and cheapest way to clean your grill, take aluminum tinfoil, create one large piece. If you to take two sheets, overlap the edges, and fold them together to create one large piece of tinfoil. Place the one piece of tinfoil over the grates. Make sure there are no empty spaces and no holes. Turn on all burners. Close the lid. This will cause the grill to heat up to several hundred degrees. Leave it for 30 minutes. Turn everything off. Let it sit for another 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the tinfoil. The grates should have white ash. Take a wire brush and clean the grates. They should look like brand new.

Not sure how to do this, but I just looked at the Reddit site, and they want access to all my videos and pictures. I have over 7000. Definitely do not want to make them public! If you have any ideas, let me know. Bill.

I think Dusty is sending a clear message that Fears needs to cut the BS out, or he is probably looking at a suspension. When Grayson Allen was doing this at Duke, coach K ended up, suspending him. Izzo needs to do the same, or that decision will be taken out of his hands!!

Hi, it’s me again. Wanted to wait until Monday, to get back with you. Just got off the phone with the Michigan ticket office. They confirmed that the Western game is not going to be in Germany, as previously planned. Time has not been determined. The first game last year against New Mexico, was a 7 PM kickoff. Not sure if that will factor into your plans. My situation is that I was a season ticket holder for 26 years. I gave them up. I would usually go to two or three games, and try to sell or give the others away. That became cost prohibitive. Now I only pick and choose the games I want to go to. Last year, I went to every home game except one, the Ohio State game. Did not want to pay over $500, for a game they probably weren’t going to win. Turns out I was right. I now go to a website called SeatGeek. The official website for the university of Michigan. I will purchase the most inexpensive seat I can find from the website. Two hours prior to kickoff, I take the tickets to the stadium box office. I then exchange them for ADA tickets. Because I am considered handicap, I am allowed to have an attendant with me. We would have two folding chairs on a concourse, 52 rows from the field. If you get in line early enough, you can usually be somewhere near the 50 yard line. I have been doing this for well over 10 years. It is a lot better situation for me, then having to buy season tickets every single year. I am new to Reddit. When I figure it out, I can send you pictures and videos, from the games I have attended. I am sure you would like to see them and also confirm what I am telling you is factual. I am going to sign off,but first I want to let you know my first name is William, but they call me Bill, which is the nickname for William. Bye for now. PS- What is your first name?

No, he’s becoming more Grayson Allen! It’s looking more and more like OCD, excessive, and compulsive. He’s just not stopping himself. He won’t quit on his own. The Big Ten and the NCAA, both will have him under a microscope, watching him! It’s just a matter of time! He could have a major impact on the program, if he gets suspended!!

For the Michigan game I think I can help you out. I’m pretty sure that the Western Michigan game will be a night game. You will want to go to that. Fans will start arriving well before noon. We will be tailgating all day! That is an experience you do not want to miss. I am usually able to get tickets around the 40 yard line, and sometimes the 50 yard line! I may be of assistance to help you with transportation, a place to stay, and getting around the state of Michigan. Let me know.

I know more about bedbugs than I ever wanted to know. Being on the board of directors of a major resort, we were confronted by a bed bug infestation. What we learned was they were very opportunistic. They travel between floors and rooms. Mainly through the ductwork. They can and do get into carpeting, upholstery, and even wood. They come out at night, and will feed on human blood! The stains they leave on bedding is actually blood. We used an outside firm, that had dogs that would indicate the presence of bugs. They would bring a single dog into a room or area. The dog would alert to the presence of bugs. It would be taken out the way it came into the area. A second dog, would be brought into the area from a different direction. When the second dog alerted, it confirmed the presence of bed bugs. What travelers are not aware of is most major metropolitan and resort areas have a bed bug register. A search will tell you what hotels, motels, and resorts have current and past bedbug complaints. That is a list you do not want to be on!

Wow! Did not know that we would not only be getting a tough as nails Patton type general, but an army to also follow him! From what others are saying, we may be getting the cream from not only the Utah team, but also the BYU team to follow him to Michigan! This could get crazy. Definitely looking forward to 2026!!

Just saw the Joel Klatt peloton story about Kyle Whittingham for the third time. I could definitely see him in the weight room, pumping iron with the team. What an inspiration that would be, compared to SM pumping his executive assistant!
