2/10.

That is easily a 7/10. It is way better than some of the stuff I could be posting, and you should give me the credit for that or I'll just post 3 genuine 1s to get to 3 points.  :)
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

The Michigan Man is no more. The AD of Michigan didn't just fire Hoke today, he also said this: "I want to get rid of the word Michigan Man".

RIP Michigan Man.
Nice partial quote.

Let me provide more context:

Quote from: Bo Schembechler, at the start of a coaching transitionMichigan will be coached by a michigan man.

Quote from: that dude yesterdayI want to get rid of the word Michigan Man.

Additional context regarding Michigan traditions:

-From 1969 to 2006, Michigan had 3 football coaches. From 2007-whenever the hire the new guy, they will have had 4.
-Recent NCAA violations.
-Stupid uniforms.
-Playing 1-AA / FCS opponents.
-Losing to 1-AA / FCS opponents.
-Losing the greatest winning percentage in college football.
-2 tickets with coke purchases.
-A quarterback wearing the number 98.
-Tate Forcier.
-Make believe attendance numbers.
-Scheduling games against previous teams that beat you in epic fashion in order to raise the Q rating of the game.
-And now, now more word "Michigan Man".

He should get a couple extra points just because it's Michigan.

"Michigan Man" is 2 words. 

Having an AD who can't count to 2 doesn't bode well for the coaching search, I'd think. 

Of course, considering the conference, are poor counting skills a surprise?

They're just not using a decimal system.

<letter to Gardner>

At Marion?  It's like UTSA sending a letter to OU for something that happened during the RRS.

Anyway, hasn't Devin Gardner always pretty much not been a douche or shithead at all throughout his time there?  I don't think I've ever heard anything bad about him, but do recall stuff like writing back to sick kids and things like that.

Nebraska fires 9-3 Bo Pellini to hire 5-7 Mike Riley. Winning!

Sort of, but not exactly. There's a lot of cross-pollination or whatever you want to call it. OSU is closer to the satellite campuses.
