No, because it's a geographical grouping that is used pretty much everywhere. The directions in the name don't mean anything. Because pretty much none of the states considered to be Midwest are actually in the middle of the West. The center of the country is in Nebraska, which is one of the most western states…

Midwest isn't literal. Anywhere you look, Ohio and Michigan are included as parts of the Midwest. Directionally, the Midwest would be Colorado, Montana, etc. It's just a messed up term, man.

Holy shit! The e-mail of the week paid off big time.

Rarely when it matters.

Phelps should know not to cross any lane lines. Otherwise he might kick Ryan Lochte in the face.

8 is being overrated here.

Lil' Rufio is the best! This is why the Lions drafted Ebron. They knew Fauria may run into some injury issues taking care of the real star of the household.

The Brick Dick!

There is no other way.

Just before the Lions game! Orton Hears a Suh.

The older you are, the longer you've been outrunning whatever is chasing you. In my case, it's heart disease from not running very often.

I know several students at U of M that are in that same boat. They just have better things to do than go be unhappy at the game.

It's not just that they can't win a game this year. It's that they've been mediocre since App State jabbed a scimitar through the collective hearts of Michigan fans everywhere. I've been living in Ann Arbor for most of the last 20 years, and have never wanted to attend a Michigan game less than I do this season. BUT I…

Think I'm not getting the job done? Have a baby who can.

Of course 2:00 will be broken. But I really don't think it will happen anytime soon. Marathon running is such a sport of conditions. How the runner feels that day, how the weather is for them (there is no perfect marathon atmosphere for everybody), who else is in the race to push them early, etc. As athletes continue…

Not sure if you noticed, but they already ARE boycotting. I have lived in Ann Arbor most of my life, and have never seen the Big House so empty.

Goodell is pretty funny though. I saw him at UCB back in his younger days. Classic wit. An improvisational mastermind.

Just don't root for Spurs. Makes me miserable pretty much every day.

Why isn't Maize listed? (God I hate myself)

My girlfriend warned me of the same thing this week. It's been a rough 4 days.
