The Blue Board

Last night my man bought a locker for $2.50, and he found three colored bottles. One of them was an old "fly trap" bottle that was rare for collectors and he got a grand for it.

My youngest daughter has a friend whose dad was working for chrysler, and actually quit his job to go to these things and also to estate sales. Guy has an engineering degree but loves this. His wife works so that takes pressure off of him to score at these, but he once found a pocket knife at an estate sale he knew was worth 2500 bucks and bought it for 5 dollars. He's found speakers of certain types that he's made 3 grand on. Guy can glance at things he knows are valuable at estate sales and scoop them up. He also flips homes. Those organs that play music automatically need these round cylanders to play the music. He found 20 at an estate sale that he knew were collectors items and made 15 grand off of them. He paid 200 for them. He's amazing.

He tells us he hates going to those storage auctions in the Detroit area because fist fights actually break out and they're not as civil as we see on t.v.

I'm hooked on that show and Duck Dynasty. I feel dirty.

Wow. Didn't know harris got hurt. Hope it's not serious. But still ... it's BSU. You should be able to beat BSU at home with half your starters on the bench. I've been looking forward to our games against you guys this year. Don't ruin it for me. At least try to make a respectable showing.

You're MSU, you should beat BSU with your backups. Appling, Payne, Nix, Dawson, Valentine, Costello, Kearney...

MSU had an off night, it happens. A win is a win.

Your telling me it's a coincidence you added scoreboards a touch bigger than ours one year after we installed ours.

That's no excuse. A championship team is supposed to have depth to where one player doesn't mean much like when Michigan lost Trey Burke and Spike Albrecht stepped in and led Michign to a blowout win.

The dfference is we didn't immediately decide we needed bigger scoreboards the year after our rival just installed new ones.

We actually had a great night. Just missing some important impact players.

You weren't playing a championship team. You were playing BSU. Appling, Dawson, Nix, Payne, Costello, Kearney... Were enough to blowout BSU at tBres.

This is a dumb argument though, every team has bad nights, MSU had one last night.

no offense guys, but I really think people are bothered by injuries and wins/losses if a big part of your life is how you get an identity out of the school you cheer for. These message boards obviously exasperate those feelings of joy or depression. It's great when the team you love wins, and you sure feel like kicking the dog when your team loses, but come on, it's a game. To fret over an 18 year old kid who might or might not play is beyond my scope. Whoever we have has to step up. It's why we give them scholarships. Same with the guys who hang on 16 & 17 year old kids decisions as to where they're going to matriculate. Big deal. It's like this great achievement in some peoples lives has been reached when a kid signs at somebody's favorite school. (often not even attended by said person) Then they'll scream at you "If you don't recruit, you won't win..." blah blah blah. Get a life.

I like watching the games for what they are. Sport, strategy, decisions. Sucks when we lose, but I'll be damned if it's ever changed a thing in my life. If someone gets hurt, or a bad call is made, what are you going to do to solve the problem becomes bigger and more interesting then lamenting it. Who steps up? That's the human drama that intrigues me.

I feel bad about this injury for the young man and his family. I don't feel bad for Tom Izzo or the Spartans. Do something about it. Get it done. It's why we gave you a scholarship, and it's why we pay Izzo millions. How many times have you been on both ends of a win/loss and someone is either giving you an excuse as to why they loss (injury-refs-crowned field) and you just dont' give a crap or you're the guy giving the excuse and after it still doesn't change the fact that your team lost. I'm going to watch the Spartans in the next game now. Know why? I want to see who is either going to step up for this kid, or who is going to think poor pitiful us, we have no chance at life now.

Whens the next game?

You do have a point. According to Steve, that was a great game played by MSU. If it takes a great game to beat program like BSU by 4 points at home, MSU will be hurting in B1G play.

Nope, MSU was good just missing a few impact players. When they're back we are going to roll.

Doesn't surprise me you don't grasp what I'm saying. Just chalk it up to another day where Steve is right. My track record speaks for itself.
