I think the funniest autocorrect is “fucking” into “ducking”. Yes, the commonly used English word “ducking”. That’s definitely what people are frequently meaning to type
Final HockeyCast of the season: a look ahead to next season and some softball/baseball talk. Thanks to everyone who listened this year mgoblog.com/content/michig…
Two weeks later and the SGA/Chet commercial has blown right by this. I have issued a warrant for the arrest of both guys and everyone involved with the production of that commercial

13 in a row for M Softball after another sweep, this time over PSU. Lauren Derkowski looked like an ace with a huge bounceback weekend in the circle and Michigan has now secured a top 2 seed in the BTT. A share of the B1G reg. szn title remains in play with one weekend to go

Extremely funny that Lions went from the draft that made everyone go crazy about “reaches” into a draft where it’s largely “steals”

Bit of an odd pick but definitely high in the BPA bucket and with the receiving talent in the division, nothing wrong with loading up at this position

Michigan wins an old fashioned pitcher’s duel for the first time in a while, as Derkowski has her best start in some time against PSU ace Bridget Nemeth. Clutch hitting from Ella McVey and Maddie Erickson get it done and the Wolverines have won 11 in a row

It’s really funny how anyone born between the first week of January and Valentine’s Day all are going to have this universal experience of telling people “hey, the Super Bowl used to be on my birthday” and non-sports fans in 2035 being like “yeah right”

I don’t like picking for position as a general rule but Lions really really needed a corner and luckily Terrion Arnold is arguably BPA anyway
If a non-Lions NFCN team was going to take JJ, I vastly prefer this to the other two options
Michigan Football is going for the NFL Draft record for most players taken in one draft this weekend. Read about every feasible candidate and get my take on whether it happens: mgoblog.com/content/2024-n…
the reality of the current NIL/portal era is that it's gonna be *really* hard to keep rotational guys (Waller, Sabb, etc.) who don't see a clear and immediate path to a full-time starting job, because somebody else will always be able to promise them one (and the accompanying $)
The best there ever was 🫡🥲

Wrote about Michigan Softball's continued offensive surge, path to the NCAA Tournament, and did a quick check in on Michigan Baseball's solid B1G season so far: mgoblog.com/content/softba…
#Michigan and @CoachDustyMay getting one of the nation’s most productive players in Lakeland (Fla.) Victory Christian Academy 2024 guard Lorenzo Cason (@CasonLorenzo1). The 6’3 playmaker averaged 24.5 points, 7.2 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 2.5 steals per game last season.
How many current athletes have more dawg in them than Jamal Murray?

@Alex_Drain i have a rule in my autocorrect that re-corrects for this. but it does make attempts to discuss water fowl more challenging.
@Alex_Drain It's SO bad. This one and the iPhone "don't let me go" commercial drove me insane during March Madness.
It’s the worst ever
Trying to think of the worst moment of my life… oh wait, I remember: it’s watching this Shai-Chet “What a pro wants” commercial.
Super excited for the summer! Really looking forward to calling @roleprechauns baseball!
We are proud to announce Alex Miller will be our 2024 Play by Play Announcer! Alex grew up in Bloomfield Hills-not far at all from Memorial Park. He is a junior at the University of Michigan, where he broadcasts for the student radio station, WCBN, and for BTN+
FINAL: Michigan 14, Penn State 3 George retires the final three Nittany Lions with three groundouts on just six pitches. Wolverines clinch the series!
I'm tearing up, this is the gift that keeps on giving. Conor Stalions will never pay for a beer again if I'm around, he has done so much for me personally.
@Browns @zak_zinter Honest Browns fan here. I wouldn’t be mad if the commissioner gave him a 3 or so game suspension for the cheating, along with all drafted Michigan players.
A Motor City roar for @ArnoldTerrion 📢
@Alex_Drain And he's such a great culture fit. I think if you are going to put that limitation on yourself as a team builder, you've gotta be willing to trade up and grab those dudes when you get the chance.
@Alex_Drain No more Cam Sutton. God smiling upon us right now
@ThiccStauskas Welcome to Skol Nation, Michigan fans!
@ NHL are you watching? Give Detroit an All-Star weekend and/or draft
@ThiccStauskas “Talented guy who caused me no consternation whatsoever”
@ThiccStauskas He's arguably the best college receiver I've ever seen (since Megatron) and we beat him three straight times, a perfect OSU player.
@ThiccStauskas Was saying something similar recently about C.J. Stroud. He could be the next Peyton Manning and I'd be like "good for him, never beat Michigan so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"
@Alex_Drain He and Chris Cuthbert are the voices of so many of my hockey memories
my god this might be the least serious visit list ever. an absolute gauntlet of unseriousness. unseriousness rating of 99.
