@YostBuilt @JordanAckerMI GR, Toledo, Ft Wayne, et al., have tried it before and all lost money and a weekend for other profitable options. So bidding is basically irrelevant around here unless the system changes to guarantee profit.

@JordanAckerMI Fully on board that campus sites are way better. But until the NCAA comes around on that, is there any reason we aren't bidding Grand Rapids, Toledo, Plymouth, or any other viable arena that's closer than South Dakota
Huge advantage to be close to home even if it isn't your barn

A constant reminder that hockey is the worst run sport and not having home regionals for top seeds make no sense.
Play these games at Yost, I compel you! (And at Munn, etc.)

@paulacweston Not sure where C-C sources sugar/other raw ingredients, and with all due respect to the corn growers...last time I looked, over 50% of the sugar produced in the US was from beets (shout out to the farms/processors right here in Michigan).
English
So ... U.S. corn growers can just fuck off, right?

"I have been speaking to @CocaCola about using REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so. I’d like to thank all of those in authority at Coca-Cola. This will be a very good move by them — You’ll see. It’s just better!" –President Donald J. Trump

Bev Plocki’s 26 Big Ten titles are the most by any coach, in any sport in the league’s history
And given the league’s expansion, that record may stand for a while

@Johnubacon I share an American father and a Canadian mother with you, old friend...but I was adopted. So what to call myself, eh?
Maybe Half-Baked Canadian?!
Cheers!

Happy Canada Day to all who celebrate -- and all should. Why not?
(Full disclosure: as the son of an American father and a Canadian mother, I am in fact Half-Canadian Bacon.)

Happy Pride Month to my community and our allies. It’s a hard thing, coming out. I was fortunate, accepted unconditionally by family and friends. So many of my friends haven’t been as blessed. That’s what makes Pride Month so important — showing others that it’s OK to be YOU.

Happy Pride Month🌈
I am always proud to be an ally. We all deserve to be celebrated, seen, and treated fairly. Love is Love❤️

@JoshInMichigan @_ZachShaw For example...
Michigan will play UCLA today with no chance of advancing (and in Michigan's case as a team below the bubble, no chance of a NCAA bid). Even if they win, it creates a "tie" in their pool, which by rule still advances UCLA as the highest seed.
Brilliant...not?!
English
The Big Ten baseball tournament will conduct 6 games games on Thursday & Friday, airing all of them on BTN. But thanks to the league's dumb pool-play format and seed-based tiebreaker, 4 of those games will have literally no consequence on who advances. Just props for commercials
English
@_ZachShaw Who are the "genuises" who dreamed up this format? Now they are forced to play another game vs. UCLA with literally no chance of moving on (win or lose) or getting a NCAA bid!
That said, bottom 9th they had bases loaded with 1 out and couldn't score...end of story.

No, Ono already had an offer from University of Florida for $3M, and he knew if he signed the UM Regents’ Op-Ed pushing back on Trump pressuring universities, UF’s offer would be immediately rescinded. Ono was not motivated by politics, but self-interest. He is a chameleon.
BedlamX@Bedlam_X
@Johnubacon @control_alt_ So it was politics. He didn’t want to get into a pissing match with President Trump putting govt grants and funding in jeopardy therefore gotta get rid of him. Politics ruin everything
English
@dougastevens @Johnubacon Spot on...he was a "breath of fresh air" when we really needed it on campus. But his time at UC and UBC did not reflect the skill set required for this position. Hopefully the search firm/process will be much different this time around. Accountability matters more than ever.
English
@Johnubacon Wow, were we wrong about that guy. May be time to reevaluate whatever vetting process is used for the university president…
