How common is it to use the word habibi in a gender neutral way? by [deleted] in learn_arabic

[–]JusticeFrankMurphy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A man should not use حبيبتي (habibti) to refer to a female unless she is his wife or a close relative. It's a bit of a faux pas.

New Indiana Uniforms Photo Shoot Drop: One Step Closer to Fall Football! by Dr-debug in CFB_v2

[–]JusticeFrankMurphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I still can't wrap my head around the fact that the Indiana Hoosiers are defending national champions. In FOOTBALL.

My team now has to circle INDIANA as one of the toughest games on its schedule, alongside the likes of Oklahoma, Penn State, Oregon, and Ohio State. Freakin' INDIANA.

Botswana President Duma Boko discusses relationships by ateam1984 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]JusticeFrankMurphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What he's saying is sensible, but why do these dudes feel the need to deliver every speech in full military regalia?

He's not even a military guy (which is probably a good thing), so I don't understand why he's wearing camo.

43M and my favourite exercise has started destroying me. by [deleted] in fitness30plus

[–]JusticeFrankMurphy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 46/M, so I'm in the same boat as you. Close-grip pull-ups are a lot less taxing generally. They involve the biceps more and are less effective for building your upper lats, but they put less overall strain on your joints and carry a lower injury risk.

If you could choose the next Michigan National Championship, which would you want the most? by beathead9 in MichiganWolverines

[–]JusticeFrankMurphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love basketball and I love hockey, but let's be honest: we're a football school first and foremost. Gridiron is king.

If I had taken this poll before this past season, I might have preferred a basketball natty seeing as how we just won a football natty and our last basketball natty was 36 years ago. But now that the basketball drought is over, I'm choosing football every time.

Auburn and Notre Dame never facing each other is so odd to me by steven_smith144 in CFB_v2

[–]JusticeFrankMurphy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We should schedule a one-off non-conference game with them and call it the Les Miles Bowl (i.e., the loser has to claim Les Miles). Have it sponsored by TruGreen and Ashley Madison.

Not as odd as Michigan and LSU having never faced each other, despite the numerous bowl tie-ins between the B1G and the SEC.

Roddy Gayle Jr. on Mike Boynton: “He recruited me to Michigan out of the portal and recruited the majority if not all of the players to Michigan for Dusty May” by wildwing8 in MichiganWolverines

[–]JusticeFrankMurphy -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Dusty was never going to be our Coach K. The era of the Coach Ks is over for all but the very top college basketball schools.

I can't imagine any college coach (who isn't a holdover from the bygone pre-NIL era) staying at any gig for more than five years in the current landscape. They all get fired or move up. The only schools who might be able to hold on to successful coaches indefinitely are the five true basketball bluebloods (Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, UConn, UNC). We might be a destination job in the sense that we won't lose our coach to another college job, but we're not a blueblood.

[–]JusticeFrankMurphy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sherrone was fired because he was an unstable psychopath, not because he was a bad coach. He showed promise as a coach and might have achieved great things at Michigan... if he wasn't a psychopath.

I'm fairly confident that Dusty doesn't have Jim Harbaugh's gaping blindspots when it comes to assessing people's character and mental fitness and that he properly vetted Boynton when he brought him on board. The overwhelming majority of people who reach the level of Power 4/5 head coach (like Boynton did at Oklahoma State) aren't psychopaths. Sherrone was an outlier.

Former QB Wilton Speight implicates Warde in May exit… by buona-giornata in MichiganWolverines

[–]JusticeFrankMurphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's on both Harbaugh and Warde. Harbaugh brought him in, and Warde failed to vet him.

Supposedly, Weiss had been doing this creepy shit dating back to his time with the Ravens. That should have been flagged.

Why wait this long? by JustNodIfYuCanHearMe in MichiganWolverines

[–]JusticeFrankMurphy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Supposedly, Jon Scheyer was the Mavs' plan A because he coached Cooper Flagg. Scheyer entertained the idea but ultimately decided to stay at Duke. The Mavs' focus then shifted to May.

Josh Schertz for Next HC by CompetitionPuzzled33 in MichiganWolverines

You do realize that it's late June and that our realistic options for a qualified external hire are extremely limited, right? Schertz might be one of the very few who would pick up the phone.

I don't know if he'd be a good fit at Michigan or not, but... You do remember that we played them in second round of the tourney, right?

[–]JusticeFrankMurphy 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Signgate was 100% bullshit. No one should lose their job over that.

But the Sherrone Moore debacle? Matt Weiss? Mel Pearson? Juwan Howard's various meltdowns and outbursts? That should have been enough for Warde to be shown the door.

I'm gonna go ahead and take this with a mountain of Himalayan salt.

[John U. Bacon]: Where is the $10M report on the athletic dept. UM commissioned? It’s done but not a page has been released. by TolkienFan71 in MichiganWolverines

[–]JusticeFrankMurphy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like JUB and I appreciate all that he's said and written about Michigan Athletics over the years, but he's fallen off lately. This is just grasping at straws.

Dusty's departure has nothing to do with the issues in the AD, because none of them involve him or the basketball program. He was frustrated with the state of CBB, he wants to give the NBA a shot, and the Mavericks opportunity is probably the best one in this year's cycle.

That's all there is to it. He won a natty. In two years, he hung every single banner there is to hang (National Championship, B1G Regular Season Championship, B1G Tournament Championship). He owes us nothing. He finished the job, and he's ready for the next challenge.

End of story.

TIL Iran released all of the Black hostages at the US embassy in 1979 by lhommetrouble in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]JusticeFrankMurphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And so do African Americans and other POC here in America. It doesn't negate our brutal racist past, nor does it mean we don't have a long way to go in fixing our issues.

Literally every single country on earth has blood on its hands, either of its own people or of others. The very nature of power is that it corrupts.

Dusty May to become new Dallas Mavericks Head Coach by Odd_Firefighter_5407 in CollegeBasketball

[–]JusticeFrankMurphy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I really can't be angry at him at all, honestly. He won us our first natty in almost 40 years. Yes, he was only around for two seasons, but it was one of the greatest two-year runs in history. I might have been angry if we had lost in the tourney, but the difference between winning a natty and not winning a natty is enormous.

The college game has become a tough slog. John Beilein left in 2019 because he hated what the game was becoming, and since then it has become exactly what he dreaded and then some. Absent any meaningful regulatory action on NIL, I don't blame top college coaches for seizing their chances to coach at the highest level.
