Neat Won't Play Against Fresno | ClarionLedger.com
You mean our undersized, fumble-prone fourth-stringer won't be out there against Fresno?! Big whoop. Give Bolden the ball because, horrible dropped passes aside (still not over that one, Brandon), the guy's a baller.

Michigan is good again - at least, so we think. Of this I am constantly reminded by my Wolverine friends, girl- and otherwise. Resultingly, what I've come to learn about the Mighigan fan base is that there may not be a group of people who have had to learn, understand, and cope with losing quite like they have over the past few years. Remember, up until just a handful of seasons ago, Michigan was a perennial top-10 team for almost as long as any of us can remember. Then they lose to Appalacian State and shit just gets bizarre in Ann Arbor. So, naturally, having tasted the acrid flavor of gridiron humiliation akin to, frankly, ours and the rest of the "other half" of the college football world in such a sudden and painful way, what do Michigan fans offer up after opening their season undefeated? Schadenfreude! Really, it's interesting how this and MGoBlog's "This Week in Schadenfreude" both come from a fan base who has just recently become so familiar with the agony that most football fans endure.
Regardless though, we're a grumpy-ass and disproportionately high-profile fanbase, so we're not exactly helping our cause. And if you're winning you've got a bit of a license to point and laugh. And I am pulling for the Wolverines this season. So, yeah, just take the link and following content at face value. If anything, it's amusing.

Fire Claims Bowling Alley | WXVT
Goodbye Kiame Lanes/Backyard Burger/Rancho Grande/Brass Monkey/The Lanes/whoever else may have inhabited that building during my stint in Oxford. I still have my Rancho Grande lunch card in my wallet (I was only three punches away from a free chimichanga.), and I know we all vividly remember Oxford's very own local, insane, and fat Elvis impersonator working behind the counter at BYB. And the old Kiame Lanes were a truly Oxonian institution. A BYOB bowling alley not only provided good times, but also invited disaster (Memories of a good friend of mine having her shoes vomited in - literally in - are starting to pop up.), making it a perfect establishment for the type of community Ole Miss fosters.
