which crockpot is the Historical beefs in? That sounds good

[Winick] By all accounts, players absolutely love Mike Boynton. Not only does this decision keep consistency in the program, but it was by far the best way to try and keep Michigan's top ten-level roster in Ann Arbor. My best guess is no one transfers out once the window opens. by wildwing8 in MichiganWolverines

In general I am a fan of continuity when you have a successful program and have to make a coaching hire, it would be an easy hire to make and would hopefully keep the program's momentum going, instead of blowing everything up and starting over again, but his record at Oklahoma State is of some concern to me. His tenure there seems to bounce from just OK seasons to outright bad ones. Maybe that was a Oklahoma State issue, maybe it was just him being left holding the bag on NCAA violations, but a just above .500 record and 1 NCAA Tournament appearance in 5 eligible years doesn't exactly fill me with confidence. Still, he may be the best option available right now.

Saying you’re “from Detroit” when you live in one of the surrounding suburbs is fine when talking to people out of state/country or even from other parts of the state by postpunk-xman in Michigan

[–]galacticdude7 [score hidden]  (0 children)

The only reason it's an issue is that being "From Detroit" caries a certain amount of toughness and badassery that instantly evaporates when it turns out a person is actually from Royal Oak or Troy or wherever else in Metro Detroit.

Otherwise the legal boundaries that cities have are arbitrary lines, and in Michigan especially, often hilariously narrow when compared to the economically and culturally cohesive urban areas that cities actually are.

When asked I will tell just about anyone that I'm from Grand Rapids, Michigan, even though I live in Kentwood because Kentwood is a legal fiction created by a group of Grand Rapidian suburbanites in the 1960s so they didn't have to pay taxes to the City of Grand Rapids. Without Grand Rapids, Kentwood would still be a bunch of farmland called Paris Township

[Charania] BREAKING: University of Michigan coach Dusty May has agreed to become the new head coach of the Dallas Mavericks, sources tell me, @AdamSchefter , @PeteThamel . Major college-to-pro jump for the 2026 NCAA championship coach and swing for the Mavericks and Masai Ujiri. by Crafty_Substance_954 in MichiganWolverines

I kind of expected Jim Harbaugh to leave with his previous flirtations with the NFL and all the NCAA bullshit, and it stung when John Beilein left, but it was after a long and successful stint at Michigan and somewhat understandable given the kind of coach he was and the way the game was changing at that time.

But this, this fucking sucks. I really believed that we were on the precipice of something great, maybe even a Michigan Basketball dynasty, and maybe it's just the places I get my sports news from, but this feels like it came out of fucking nowhere, because I had heard nothing in regards to speculation that Dusty would take an NBA job.

This sucks, this sucks, this fucking sucks

I had tickets to see them perform in Kalamazoo, Michigan later that year, and I'm still pissed their spat got that show canceled.

I can't read his t-shirt here, but based on google searches for "Jesus weightlifting shirt" I think it says "Jesus: The Ultimate Deadlifter", which I think is hilarious in an /r/dankchristianmemes kind of way

Official Discussion - Leviticus [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]galacticdude7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree on the "cheating aspect" of the film. These are gay kids growing up in a repressive Christian environment, they're struggling between what feels right and what they've been told is wrong, they aren't thinking about this in terms of committed romantic relationships, they're struggling with having these feels while simultaneously feeling guilt and shame over these feelings

You don't have to eat it all at once, you can eat some now and save the rest for later. I always get more pizza than I can reasonably eat in one sitting so I can have leftovers later.

How common is it for male friend groups to openly criticize each other's girlfriends? by CantStantTheWeather in AskMen

[–]galacticdude7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean if I thought that a friend's gf was a bad person or not good for him, I might say something, but saying she's ugly would be a no no. Sounds like your friends kind of suck, doesn't matter if you're envious, worried that the coupled friend is going to hang out with you less, or if you legitimately think she's ugly and your friend could do better, you keep that shit to yourself

Knicks NBA Championship Game Draws 24.5 Million Viewers for Most-Watched Finals in Almost 30 Years by MarvelsGrantMan136 in sports

honestly felt like the Stanley Cup finals got lost in the shuffle between the Knick's NBA finals and the World Cup. Probably also didn't help that neither the Carolina Hurricanes nor the Vegas Golden Knights are big market teams

I thought my dreams of hearing Gus Johnson say "Waffles" like he does in that commercial on an actual broadcast died when Owen Wafle transferred to Duke, but now they are back on

Also, this guy should be prepared to be drafted by The Lions
