First let me say I love the time change, it suits my life style in retirement. Like the peace and quiet I get in the morning and I'm a big coffee guy.
I've seen others comment last night that they felt like it was Christmas Eve and I won't argue with that but for me it's more like the Eve of the November firearms deer season. You prep all fall, make sure your firearm is sighted in and have your clothes and boots ready to go. Coffee is brewing and your back pack is loaded with enough supplies so you can sit all day. You hope a big one walks by and if you get a chance, you don't miss and make a clean shot. That's sort of how I'll approach any news in retaliation of all the shit that has slung at us over the past several days. Sit in my blind and wait for my chance. If we don't get monumental news I'll settle for fighting back. I've hunted for 60 years and this is the first year I'll miss (haven't seen a deer in two years at my UP property after seeing 7 - 8 bucks five years ago. My oldest son works as a chef on a Great Lakes freighter and gets back on board Nov. 15th and my other partner is a freshman at UM this year and doesn't want to miss class, don't think Grandpa could have done that and maybe that's why I didn't get accepted.
First thought is that for the last few years I've not been a huge Warde fan, maybe it's because I was so thrilled with Jim Hackett. I think I was looking for reasons why Warde wasn't living up to "My" standards. Well maybe Warde was just waiting to find a hill he was willing to die on. If my memory serves me correctly Hackett/JH wanted to spill the beans on cheaters but maybe the Schizz wouldn't let them, maybe it wasn't the time. I prefer to think Ono was the driving force with a big Warde assist this time around. Like I said earlier I'll be happy just to land one good punch so the other guy(s) know to be careful, really careful if they attack us, Hope Purdue's Walters gets nicked but I doubt that happens, he's too new. I really don't like him.
G10504 hit on something I've been thinking about OSU's recruiting success since the Urban days. How are they able to recruit like a SEC school? Yes they've had great success with WR development, but what else. If they get a non WR drafted they don't do really well unless their last name is Bosa. They don't show up on the graduation rate success indicator, NW is #1, we are #2. Michigan has 14 out of 28 sports with a 100% success rate. Are they making education an after thought? Paying to play? Are we actually making kids take academics serious, shame on us? Hope OSU/Day get dinged seriously.
My last thought is again to congratulate Josh and crew for the civility this site has shown the last few days/weeks (our members should get a pat on the back also). We're getting quite a few new members but please don't come here and try to change OUR site into the one you just left. I for one like things just the way it is.
Well it's getting first light and the deer are starting to move. For you that feels like it's Christmas Eve, I hope you find the present that was on top of your list. P.S. this is not a fact based post, just my thoughts and mine alone.
