  1. Hmmm. I sign up for everything using a gmail account, but maybe that's it. Maybe ESPN isn't defaulting to gmail once it verified my cable provider. It's probably been a decade since I set it up.
  2. I tried to use the ESPN app on my phone to watch one of the late games yesterday, and it blocked me. In the past, the app has asked who my cable provider was (it's ATT). So even though I had turned off the wifi on my phone and was using a cell signal, it *STILL* gave me an error message saying, "your provider is not available" or something like that. In other words, just because they're having a fight with the company that gives me cable television, they decided to completely block **all** ESPN access on my phone EVEN THOUGH I WASN'T AT HOME AND WASN'T USING ANY ATT WIFI. Such bullshit. I feel like this could be cross-posted in the "great enshittening" thread.
  3. Yeah, he's pretty clearly grinding an axe. I think he was one of two people who had Notre Dame ahead of Texas last week... which was already absurd had you watched either of those teams play.
  4. Last week vs Aggies, the network was putting up ND schedule, and pointed out "favored in every game the rest of the way!!!" It was laughable in real time. Anyone who had watched that game would have projected 2 or 3 losses, minimum.
  5. Worst call since the Oregon onsides kick?
  6. Looks pretty indisputable to me
  7. Klatt has been generous when speaking of us for a long time now. He has a ton of affection for Sark, and for Sark's support of his sobriety.
  8. Both teams in playoffs last year. Michigan sends 13 guys to NFL. Texas sends 11. Only one of these two teams looked "gutted" (as described by ESPN). We went out and completely reloaded our WR room. Added Mukaba, who was everywhere today. I know coaches must hate having to recruit every player in the country in every off-season (including their own roster), but since teams have to address their *immediate* needs every off-season, it's gonna be only slightly less consequential than recruiting high school kids.
  9. Yeah, Michigan was "gutted" by the draft, but apparently we weren't.
  10. Since the lead story on ESPN is how Michigan lost 13 guys to the draft -- we lost 11.
  11. I see 9 and still think "Kwame Cavil."
  12. Fox has to be totally hoping for Manning just so viewership doesn't go to zero.
  13. I have never seen targeting on a LB hitting a RB between the tackles
  14. Makuba is everything we hoped Catalon would be
  15. Hello, Mr Makuba
  16. We're gonna block a punt today
  17. What a bullshit call.
  18. That's rough. In one of Mack's first few years, I think we played UCLA, Nebraska, and K-State... at one point it was like 3 of the top 4 in the AP poll, and maybe all of them on the road (I may be getting the year/teams slightly off, but it was something like that). Whatever it was, the OU schedule this year is pretty rough.
  19. I'll be brave and take a (probably wrong) stab: First one has a little more low mids, so I'll guess that's the Ash Deluxe(?)
  20. If it bleeds, we can kill it.
  21. Never has a team failed upwards on their first drive more than this. Starting with running the kickoff out of the end zone and getting KO'd. Bunch of gifted 3rd down penalties. Losing half a mile on a laughably bad reverse. Fumbling forwards to your own guys. Touchdown.
  22. Yeah, that's f*cking ridiculous. I'm not sure if it's Gibson or Sweetwater who should be more embarrassed (insert "why not both" gif). I'm pretty sure Duesenberg PLEKs every single guitar they make, including guitars waaaaaay cheaper than 6 or 7K.
  23. Been there.
  24. I met Donahue (and Marlo) in about 1984 at a benefit gala for Gloria Steinem's "Ms" Foundation. The featured speaker that night was Dabney Coleman - and yes, he was pretty famous at that time for playing male chauvinists, especially in "9 to 5," and I'm sure the irony of making him the featured speaker was intentional. I was Coleman's cue card holder for his speech. He was very cool to me. Donahue definitely wasn't afraid to give orders to the entire production crew (spotlight guys, etc) even though he didn't specifically have any role of authority. Both guys now in this thread. /csb
