He-man

Should I be worried that my 5 year old likes watching She-Ram more than He-man?

iPhone 5

Yesterday the new iphones came yesterday right on time (many thanks to FedEx). I was able to set up the phone quickly using the iCloud restore. It was seamless! My new phone has exactly all the same settings as my old iPhone 4 - including all the music. I was terribly afraid I would lose something and not be able to sync or whatever, but the worry was all for nothing.

I am glad I upgraded the Uverse internet speed because there was quite a lot of data to download. It was pretty quick - probably would've taken all night with the old data plan.

Overall I am very pleased with the product. The bigger screen, Siri is smart, speed of the processor, 4G speed is tremendous, the panoramic camera, the list goes on and on. The best thing is that now I can sell the old iPhone 4 for $150-200 and cover most of my upgrade fee.

Who Farted?

I respect Mark Dantonio as a successful coach. He was the D-Line coach at MSU under Saban, then DC at Ohio State under Tressel and won the 2002 National Title, then successful at Cinci, and now successful at MSU.

But his public image is peculiar. He comes across cocky and angry, and he is constantly photographed after he has smelled a nasty fart. Like this photo below - he just smelled a fart and asked the question, "who the fuck just farted? It stinks."


In this shot below, he just found out uMich is going to the Sugar Bowl despite losing to MSU and finishing lower in the B1G. Already frustrated and upset, he smells a fart on the sideline. This is his reaction. I don't have him on record with a quote at this moment, but you can imagine he smelled a nasty Oberon fart and he is blaming Brady Hoke.





And he rarely smiles, but he is on record after this shot, where he is like, "Yeah, I just farted. Do you like way it the smells?"


Michigan Football

Last week I was convinced we would lose to Mich St for the fifth time in a row. My reasoning was simple: Denard still can't throw. However, watching ND @ MSU last night, I have renewed optimism. Not because I have any more confidence in uMich, but because MSU is not looking too sharp.

Last week, ND battled Purdue to a last second win, which to me, means ND is not strong. But then they completely manhandled MSU last night. Maxwell looks weak. We may have a chance.

Iphone 5

I order the iphone 5 - one for wifey in white and one for me in black on Sept 14. Then I heard on CNBC that the phone was sold our of pre-orders within one hour. But I ordered mine at 7am and I was worried that I wouldn't be receiving mine on Sept 21 as expected.

So I opened a chat window with ATT wireless, and they confirmed that as long as I ordered before 6am PST mine would ship by the 21st. Hopefully it will arrive on the 21st, but as long as it ships I will be happy. If I had to wait two extra weeks I would definitely be upset. I would consider waiting in line at the Apple store....and be THAT guy...

Allergies

So get this. All the sudden I have fall allergies I think. So I've got that going for me now.

Worst losses in the modern era(excluding rich rod)

Oregon 2007 Carr
Appalachian state 2007 carr
Alabama 2012 hoke
Syracuse 1998 Carr and hoke
Tennessee 2002 Carr

These five games are the most painful games I have witnesses as a umich fan from 1997-2007 and 2011-2012. Obviously, nearly every game in 2008, 2009, and 2010 are excluded (for obvious obvious obvious reasons).

But since you brought it up,

-miss state bowl game
- toledo
-2008 every big ten game
-2009 most big ten game
-2010 second half of the season
