Why Pryor Chose "University of Ohio State"
Oh, and TP, it's Ohio State University - OSU - not "University of Ohio State" as you said in your 48th press conference today. But hey, everybody gets the name of the school they're going to wrong.
Welcome to the rivalry, kid.

"university of the ohio state university"- UTSOU- sorta catchy.
kinda like the ADAA- american dodgeball association of america.
the two have a lot in common

The kid is a mouth breather anyway..."University of Ohio State" is a classic from the Department of Redundancy Department. Hearing that from his mouth makes me think we're gonna be better off without him. He's probably too "slow" to run R2's offense and that's why he chose to go to UoOS instead of "Michigan University"! What a dumbass...

on a whim, i looked up the older "player rankings" from past years (almost as interesting as looking up past pre season polls). rivals.com's #1 ranked QB-
2007-Jimmy Clausen
2006-Matt Stafford
2005-Mark Sanchez
2004-Rhett Bomar
2003-Kyle Wright
2002-Vince Young
well, they predicted Young correctly. when you follow the lists down & review the top 5 QBs, names like Anthony Morelli, Xaivier Lee, & Mitch Mustain begin to really pop out at you.
point being for every Vince Young, you get a half dozen Wrights & Bomars.

I hear Pryor and Antonio Henton will be roommates next year... Henton will teach him "The art of the $25 hooker pickup"... which is somewhere along the lines of the "Quarterback Sneak"...
When have we EVER "beat the drum" with a QB at Michigan? Henson rings a bell... but he's blasted by almost every alumni... Henne, Mallett.... seriously...
UM fans have not been happy since Griese led us to a split NC... even Brady wasn't touted.
By the way... what happened to Justin Zwick (I remember a lot of TOSUUSOT fans beating a drum as big as the drum at Purdue University over him)...
GOD do I love being incoherent in my posts... maybe joshua will come bail me out (I emphasize names because I know HTML)

i swear, yost, i'll just ignore him after this (the way you should ignore all stalkers) but:
"surrounded in columbus' continued rants against Pryor are pathetic. mouth breather."
wtf? seriously. i make the same point that half the sportswriters and bloggers in america make- recruits can be talented but high school stats are meaningless- use Drew Henson as example (numerous times) and the f'ng troll suckeye accuses ME as the one ranting??
and mouthbreather? i guess this is what happens when kids get off the bus and don't have parental supervision when they get online.
ok, i'll just pretend he's not there lest T9 chastise me yet again.

Yes, Antonio Henton has turned out to be somewhat of a turd. However, let us not forget manningham and arrington's off-field issues last year? your team is loaded with the same crap.
I agree to annoint this kid the next great thing is premature. But you would have been ecstatic if Pryor had signed with your team. To suggest otherwise, is garbage.
Kristy must have graduated cum loudly from michigan.

on a tangential note, both tom lemming and tom luginbill have both been saying (quietly) very positive things about the likelihood of Threet picking up some shaun kingesque version of the spread by september. R2 will likely have to "dumb down" some of the reads on the running side, but the offense might come along nicely by fall. considering Threet was a 4-5 star recruit two years ago & has 4 years of eligibility left, it may not be as bleak as we think (though, pessimism is the hall mark of any good michigan fan).

i just love how all the UM fans were so excited to let Mallett walk away, cause RRod was bringing Pryor with him. Now that Pryor is going to OSU, it's no big deal. please! RRod got hired cause he convinced Bill Martin that he could bring Pryor in tow and beat OSU. Now with your QB situation, you set yourself back another 5 years.
And, going back to surrounded's list, which player is Pryor most closely referenced to as.....that's right Vince Young.
so make fun of him pronouncing OSU wrong all you want, cause in the end i know it kills you that he is a buckeye and not a wolverine.
here's a great drill for UM fans: ask yourself if you would trade your last 5 years of success for OSU's....now ask yourself if you would trade the next 5 years. It's the same answer....really.
- March 19, 2008 6:03 PM

if it meant having to be an tosu fan, and all that comes w/ that program, NO, we would never trade places.
not at any price.

"not at any price."
Okay, now we've crossed over to hyperbole.
- March 19, 2008 6:11 PM
- surrounded in columbus said...
no, wtrk, i don't think so. the question was wouldn't michigan fans want to have tosu's record, and i meant that i don't think there is any sports record you could have for which any of us would trade. i don't know a single michigan alum who would trade places to be a tosu alum over any sports record.
now, i suppose if you wanted to expand the concept beyond sports record, then yeah, that was incorrect. i have a price (cash) i suppose. probably something akin to the cost of Pryor's corvette.

i think everyone needs to take a step back.
all this is a microcosm i suppose.

Hmmm. I'm on record as thinking Prior might be a thug, so therefor we win cause he is a buckeye.
Kristy might have graduated cum loudly but it wasn't with a buckeye. SIC don't fight with the PILLOW BITERS. Ohh and I'm not an alum but have two sisters that were tosu grads. It would take a lot more cash then his vette to get me. GO BLUE!

Apparently Woodyhayes didn't see the quotation marks, or just didn't get the bit of fun humor poked at the new recruit. If Pryor was coming to UM and spoke that "eloquently"about us, I'd poke fun.
Whetstone- great uses for the new TUTOSU!!
Isn't It funny how all of a sudden there are so many new posters from OH, all ready to jump on anyone trying to have a bit of fun with the new QB, TP?! Nicknames-Charmin, Cottonelle.... Just kidding. It is all in fun-at least from me.

Now with your QB situation, you set yourself back another 5 years.
Did the NCAA just institute a "You almost got the #1 recruit in the nation who may or may not be any good and sounds like he's as sharp as marbles so you can't recruit another QB for 5 years" rule? If not then I'm really confused. And for the record (once again) I've always been in the Shepard camp, because the kid actually sounds like he could carry on an intelligent conversation (amongst other reasons) and not like your typical Buckeye.
"ask yourself if you would trade your last 5 years of success for OSU's....now ask yourself if you would trade the next 5 years. It's the same answer....really.
You're correct, the answer is the same: NO. As a Buckeye fan I'd have had to live through the 2-10-1 era before that. It would also mean that while my team would have owned our most hated rival for the past 5 years, I would've been a fan of a team that has won ONLY 4 of 10 big games which it or its opponent entered undefeated in the past 15 years. Two were obviously in the same season as you won a NC in '02, so in 8 other seasons you've ended up disappointed. Because of that I can honestly say I wouldn't trade the last five years because it would include getting my hopes up and be disappointed again and again and again. But then, you should be getting used to that.
As for the next 5 years, name your wager tough guy. If we lose 5 in a row I'll meet it.

Okay, my Wolverine friends: things are not always as they appear. Therefore, odds are Pryor will not live up to expectations. Too bad--so sad.

The way I look at it, if we can defend against him and beat OSU, then it makes us look better, too.

if your idea of success for the next 5 years is going 1-4, then you have already hit rock bottom.
I'm not asking you to trade schools....just team success over the last 5 and next 5. you can still keep your general studies degree from UM. You still play your games in the Big House. Just the football teams success.
And having sat through the last 2 NC games. i would still rather be there than lose to UM any day of the week.
So do you make the trade....just the success. of course you do. And you know the next 5 years aren't going to be pretty either.
- March 20, 2008 8:43 AM
- Forza Bucks said...
Also, I do realize we had a very tough time in the 90's with UM....thus i would trade our cumulative success, as the half title you won in 97 is greater than the 0 titles we won in that same time period. But i'm also more concerned with this decade and next, than last.
Things will obviously change. runs happen, and we are on ours. but for those of you that think this is the end of OSU's run, well yesterday just reinforced that it is absolutely not the case.
- March 20, 2008 8:47 AM
- Forza Bucks said...
One more thing, for those bashing OSU for losing in 2 out of 3 NC title games we've played in:
We have actually won one. We were embarrassed in one after feeling like it should've been handed to us. Last year, we got there when NOBODY was expecting us to even win the Big Ten. We overachieved and lost to a better team. This is our year, and we will be hungry to get there again, and take care of business.
And nothing is as embarrassing as what UM did against App State. Nothing. You made the cover of SI for the most embarrassing loss ever.

And therein lies the difference between Suckeye fans like "Pryor went to OSU" Forza Bucks and UM fans. If UM had one-upped OSU yesterday, everyone would go to UM boards to celebrate.
When Suckeyes fans get a (perceived) upper hand, they go to... UM boards to talk trash. I guess the phrase "full of piss and vinegar" was started to describe OSU fans.

for those who didn't read real closely- in columbus, the bcs game against LSU was "a real close game". the fans here seriously think they "almost won".
back to Pryor, as i predicted, the sports page of the Dispatch is a full page dedicated to this kid, w/ the lead headline: When Can He Start?
now, this is a team that returns a QB that won 11 games in his first year as a starter. they also have Henton as the back up, who himself was a fairly highly touted non pro style prospect coming out of high school.
if michigan fans are displaying sour grapes, tuos fans are behaving like drunken sailors w/ their first liberty in 6 months. and reading the dispatch doesn't give you the full depth of the mania. the radio talk shows are literally fixated on how many heismans and how many mncs they're going to win. i haven't heard this much hype since... justin zwick.
and wtrck- as great as Young was? no Heismans (not even a candidate until his senior year) and one MNC. now, i think that's great but, that's not exactly "heisman after heisman after heisman", is it? at this point, if Pryor has a career identical to Young's tuos fans will actually be disappointed.

You know watching that debacle of a press conference yesterday what stuck out to me and what got under my skin was Pryor's "I feel so bad for them" stuff.

I don't understand where you get 1-4 over the next 5 years as our idea of success?
Just because a QB goes to OSU over UM means that we won't end a losing streak?

Michigan Friends, I know you may be a little bummed but there really is no reason to be. What 2 QB's have won the last two NC's? TP does not guarantee a NC. I thought TP going to Michigan was a great fit because of all the changes at Michigan. Now it's time to move on. This next year will be a tough one, but your new coach is going to bring success with a more exciting offense and strong defense. Thanks for not taking Coach Miles away, we love in down on the Bayou. Good luck to you guys next year.

it's a slow news day: the games haven't started yet (and OSU isn't in the tournament anyways), so they don't really have other things to talk about (besides OSU football). Plus spring ball starts next week for us.
As far as Pryor goes: I don't see this guy making a huge difference until his 3rd year, and with his track record i'm not sure he'll be there in 3 years. What makes a lot of osu fans happy is the fact that his decision not only made osu better, it made UM worse (in their perception).
You can't be a reasonable college fooball fan and say that UM is worse of without Pryor, especially since RR's system is so "tailor-made" for a mobile quarterback. Just my 2 cents.

a former Lions' great Spielman is on their 4 pm show. When you look up "Homer" in a dictionary there's Spielman's picture right there, next to the definition. Chris will talk OSU football year around to anyone who'll listen, when he can't find someone to listen to him he'll talk osu football to a brick wall.
Can you imagine, this guy almost went to UM to play football, instead of OSU?

Wasn't aware Spielman ran the 4 o'clock show but I LOVE that guy. Probably the only former Buck I'm actually a fan of. The rest range from "meh" to "I hope the get bit by a rabid squirrel and fall down a well", but Spielman's awesome. This should be huge on the unintentional comedy scale.
- March 20, 2008 2:30 PM
- surrounded in columbus said...
you may have a very different opinion of Speilman after you hear his local radio show. like Herbstriet (who is also on @ 4), he has two different personnas: one for ESPN and one for the Columbus market.
did you see today's Dispatch? headline: "when can he start?"? as for yesterday's radio chatter? yesterday the cavs were playing the pistons, the CBJ's the redwings, MLB spring training @ full tilt, tous just finished up its first NIT game, march madness starting today, and what did they talk about for 4 hours? yup. Pryor.
which is one of the really big differences between the two schools. if Pryor had picked Michigan, yesterday's radio talk shows would have focused on the cavs playing the pistons, the CBJ's playing the redwings, the Tiger's spring training, march madness, and Pryor. the New or the Freep's headlines would have been about one of the pro games. Pryor signing would be front page, but not necessarily above the fold.
michigan fans would have been happy, but the entire world wouldn't have stopped to talk about it.

Wow. I am all for freedom of speech and democracy, but Jim Carty and those douchebags at the AAN have really pushed my buttons. Yeah yeah it's a non-story and all, but what is annoying is that other papers are picking up the "report," even if they are the Orlando Sentinel and The Daily Daytoner. The point is, say it enough and it becomes fact. As a Michigan alumnus and fan, that is one thing that I shouldn't have to defend against.
In retaliation, someone should write a 4-part report on all of the bullshit classes that Jim Carty took during his 6 years at Syracuse and get it published. Now there's an idea. It's just a minor, minuscule annoyance that I don't need.

When Michigan sports teams tank, a Michigan grad is still a Michigan grad.
So, if we lose the next 9 out 10 games (giving us Coops record), we still know we're better than you are. Get used to that.

Just to set the record straight, I am an arrogant A-hole, not an arrogant hypocrite. Thanks for caring enough to come on a Michigan blog and whine though, I like hearing buckeye fans whine like 5 year old girls for no apparent reason.
Remind me why you're here again Crab Apple, didn't you just land the #1 recruit in the country? Is it because your Bball team was relegated to the NIT and the NCAAs were on today? Or is it residual regret over being a Buffalo Bills of college football fan?
And I have enjoyed our version of the Cooper years. But I think they're over- OOH! Maybe that's it! You're ticked b/c it took you guys 13 years before you decided to do something about it, and we've already rectified our problem after 5 years. You feel slow and incompetent. Kinda thought you'd be used to that, too. Either way I cannot WAIT to start dominating again. We're gonna have SEC speed soon, and we all know what happens when you try to play that. So say hi to Mr. University of Ohio state, and I hope you enjoyed our version of the Cooper years, because we're coming for you son. And this time our fan-base isn't gonna be quite as nice.

It also explains why we see so many tuos trolls here but so few M fans bother going to tuos sites: they really care about what we say about them, but we really don't care about what they say about us.

- Joshua said...
That's true SIC, for as much of my time as I spend discussing/reading/obsessing about M football I've never set foot on one of their sites. Interesting study in the culture of the two fan-bases. I found it extremely comical how many Buckeye fans were entirely flabbergasted when we treated them well while tailgating for the game this year. They just didn't know how to react, as if out civility was such a foreign concept.

Crabapple Bitch -
For an idiotic bunch of self-absorbed pillowbiting douchebags, you Suckeye fans sure care what we say a lot. Enjoy your second version of the "Clarett years".
Sadly (except for the rest of America), this version won't include a MNC, though.

Since you never broaden your horizons by not "setting foot" in other sites, that would explain your lack of knowledge regarding tOSU or its fans. I have treated all with respect and as a result, get the same in return. I'm not insecure about anything, but enjoy other viewpoints as well.
While I'm happy to have another prospective player come to Columbus, it doesn't affect my enjoyment of life or how I conduct my business or day to day activities.
I do find it amusing that some think we held on to John Cooper too long. While losing to you 10x in 13 years, he made it difficult to fire by beating everyone else. He was canned when Reggie Germany posted his Blutarsky-like GPA and the off-field problems grew. The one similarity between Cooper and RR is one that can't be disputed. Both are not connected thru previous involvement with the program. Outsiders, so to speak, to the rivalry. This was a source of concern in the Cooper years, and his lack of passion for the rivalry contributed to his undoing in the game. Bo understood the rivalry, and his teams played like it too. At least for the next few years, you and RR should benefit from lower expectations. I don't believe IMO that he is the answer and 'SEC speed' is lost when it goes north. Haven't you noticed how much slower our Florida recruits get when they come to our schools?
BTW SiC, Buffalo never won in 4 Super Bowls, we won the the 2002 season championship. And don't bring up the penalty, there are photos to prove it was the correct call. The only one who doesn't know it is Dan Fouts. You aren't Dan Fouts, are you?

- Forza Bucks said...
I got that 1-4 idea, because one of the posters on this thread said they wanted to bet that UM does not go 0-5 over the next 5 years. so basically, if UM goes 1-4, he wins. if OSU went 1-4, i'd be in depression, but i guess that's good enough for UM fans.
and trust me, i don't forget the Cooper years. The big difference between the Cooper years, and what's happening now is simply during the Cooper years, we constantly had a more talented team who would lose a game to underdogs (i know, not in a few years like 97). Whereas now, we still have more talented teams (not just individual players) and we win. this is not a mental thing for UM like it was for us. this is superior talent beating inferior talent, and that gap widened yesterday.
and don't give me any BS about your guys that stayed for their senior year. You'll see how talented they are when Jake Long is the only top draft pick from that group. The same Jake Long who got eaten alive by Vernon Gholston.
Beanie > Hart
Boeckman > Henne
Pryor > whatever retread RRod can convince to get the living crap kicked out of him next year
- March 21, 2008 9:00 AM
- Dave said...
I am by all means not a big fan of Henne but at least Henne doesn't throw into quadruple coverage on every single down. Boechman is probably the hardest quarterback to watch on television... he is HORRIBLE. He would always get soooo lucky throwing into those coverages because his receivers would go get it for him or would just tip it... Knowing how Utosu coaches are though, they won't even play Pryor the same way they didn't play Troy Smith against Texas, and got raped.

- 0-4_Hart said...
What I find funny is that just about a month ago, your student section at a basketball game was chanting "We want Pryor" and now that you dont have him you resort to name calling a 18 year old. His off the field issues include him sticking up for a girlfriend at a park that was sexually touched by someone else, getting into a fight with someone for calling him the N-word. and you pathetic fans want to label this kid as a thug or problem child. Come on get a clue and get over it. Your all like a 4 year old that takes this ball and goes home cause you didnt get picked first.
Think about it maybe thats why Mallet left. Your program is in shambles. Deal with it.

oh and SEC is hot hot hot.... winner.

All you Michigan fans are just jealous. So what if Pryor pronounced the university wrong. Is this all you got. This kid is only 18 and already got tons of pressure on him. He's going to be fun to watch running and throwing all over your asses.

It's AVAILABLE NOW from iTunes, eMusic, Bandcamp, or another of your favorite digital stores! Due to a website glitch, we CANNOT sell this directly- you MUST go to one of those outside sites.
Fish Karma returns with a new collection of scathing tunes entitled Lethal Fairy Tales. Targeting the world-at-large, this is their 9th road marker on a never-ending journey of social commentary. Backed by the Love Generation, the band has grown beyond their folkier roots and are pushing in a direction that recalls a mangled Bob Dylan fronting the Velvet Underground.
It's clear that Fish Karma and the Love Generation are too skilled on their instruments to be pushed aside; they have a plan. Not fucked up enough to be twisted and not freaky enough to be outsider music, could this be an attempt to break into the mainstream? With heavier tracks like "American", "Swimming To The Homeland" and "Heavy Metal Jowls" or folkier political songs like "OckUPyd" and "Fema Camp," you'll be singing along: "I am a moron, I am American." Sing it loud and sing it proud!

RACHMANINOV The Piano Concertos Lisitsa 4784890
. . . her energetic style is most dramatically captured at the end of the Third Concerto, galloping along with a coltish exuberance. She negotiates changes in mood and energy with no undue grinding of gears, though you sense an eagerness when reflective moments transform into passages of more sweeping emotional heft.
. . . the recording doesn't disappoint. Each concerto is a perfect showcase for her talent, and she effortlessly tackles all that Rachmaninov's impressive music throws her way -- from lively bubbling semiquavers in the opening of Concerto No. 1, to moments of understated beauty in the famous No. 2. Fans of Rachmaninov's expansive piano melodies and beautifully soupy Romantic moments will not be disappointed, but there's much more to this album than a few hummable tunes. In tackling these huge cornerstones of the piano repertoire in her debut studio album, Valentina Lisitsa proves it's not just Rachmaninov who should be taken seriously.
. . . this is a thoroughly engrossing account of one of the 20th century's greatest bodies of piano works. It has all the power and passion you'd want, without any of the grandstanding and excessive rubato that sometimes goes with it. What makes it different from many competing accounts is that Lisitsa has at many points followed Rachmaninov's own Rachmaninov recordings rather than the published scores. The young Michael Francis does a tremendous job of keeping the music moving while allowing that vital ebb and flow of expression.
. . . [Concertos 1 and 4]: Lisitsa plays both of them with a lot of fire and energy, emphasizing the quite advanced romantic harmonies in No. 1 and treating No. 4 as anything but an unsuccessful sequel to the two that came before. Her command of the keyboard is extraordinary, and one should really look at her videos to see why; her elongated, thin, and flexible fingers, graceful and smooth, make her feats of prestidigitation quite fluent and flawless, and a perfect set of hands needed for a composer like Rachmaninov . . . [her fast tempos] give a new and rather breathtaking dimension . . . [Paganini Variations]: Her playing reminds me . . . of a younger Martha Argerich, the same robust tone and tempestuousness of temperament. Michael Francis learned of Lisitsa's intention via solo recordings that she made of each movement, as they did not have the means to meet before the sessions began. He does a fine job, coaxing the . . . Londoners into some truly inspired playing. Decca's sound is for the most part wide and involving . . . this is what it probably really sounded like in the studio, and the results are most exciting . . . Lisitsa has given us a set fully worthy of her predecessors.
Francis and the London Symphony Orchestra provide consistently world-class, shapely orchestral frameworks and beautifully characterised first-desk solos throughout . . . supple filigree and textural lightness [by Lisitsa] . . . The Second Concerto's first movement fares best, where Lisitsa's rubato in the second subject has an unforced give and take . . . [the brass and winds] make a powerful impact in the Fourth Concerto, which boasts Lisitsa's most sharply characterised playing; note the sustained lyricism in the Largo's extended solo passages and the finale's exciting build-up shortly after the reprise of the first movement's introduction.
Lisitsa's performance is sterling throughout, with the London Symphony Orchestra under Michael Francis proving to be an often unexpectedly softly-spoken partner . . . Lisitsa gives highly personal and modern performances, by turns gently romantic and full of enthusiastic attack.
. . . genuine Russian-school weightiness and transcendental, glittering runs . . . I marveled at the unsentimental fluidity and togetherness with her orchestral colleagues . . . an impressive CD . . . The balancing, so often wrong in Rachmaninov concertos, here keeps the pianist in lively interplay with strings, woodwind solos and some specially distinguished horn phrasing. Lisitsa follows Rachmaninov the pianist's brisk cue, but she doesn't rush . . .
. . . powerhouse performances . . . vivid -- exciting -- passionate. Lisitsa has a commanding technique, and she is equal to Rachmaninov's demands, technically. While her playing could not be described as lush, there's poetry too, and plenty of imagination, despite the fast speeds and forceful execution. The Decca recording is excellent: clear, forward, and very vivid, allowing lots of subtle detail to be heard. The heavy brass sounds very immediate, but the piano is always well-balanced and clear. An impressive achievement!
Lisitsa's interpretations are extroverted but never crass; she has a good, singing line and is tasteful when playing an accompanimental role. She is consistently fleet and impetuous . . . The first theme of the Second has sweep and momentum; the second theme is free but expressive . . . The opening "quasi gliss" of the third movement is spectacular . . . Her fearless tempos in the Fourth Concerto are reminiscent of the composer's own. Her playing is impressively accurate . . . The recording, for the most part, is outstanding. The piano is captured close-up, but orchestral details are still clear . . . Her set is therewith recommended . . .
Lisitsa bringt Melodien zum Schweben und virtuose Passagen zum Glitzern. Dass die 39-Jährige neben einer makellosen Technik auch klare musikalische Vorstellungen hat, wird rasch klar . . . Valentina Lisitsa bringt sich mit dieser Aufnahme als ernst zu nehmende Pianistin ins Gespräch.
Das Ergebnis kann durchweg als gelungen bezeichnet werden. Dank ihrer überragenden pianistischen Fähigkeiten gelingt es Lisitsa, Rachmaninows vollgriffigen Klaviersatz zum Klingen zu bringen, die wieselflinken Tempi, die sie für Ecksätze wählt, bremsen jeden Anflug von Schwulst und Sentimentalität, und in den lyrischen Passagen betört sie mit hoher Legatokultur. Auch die Klangbalance zwischen Klavier und Orchester ist nahe am Optimum.
La musicienne est un véritable phénomčne . . . elle peut beaucoup, car sa technique est impressionnante . . . C'est brillant.

The same general area of Japan that was devastated by an earthquake and tsunami almost exactly one year ago was rattled today by a 6.9 magnitude temblor that led authorities to warn of another possible tsunami along the nation's northeast coast. (Note at 7:42 a.m. ET: The U.S. Geological Survey had earlier estimated it was a 6.8-magnitude quake; we've updated our headline and post to reflect it's new estimate.)
But just a short time ago, the Japan Meteorological Agency announced it had canceled "all tsunami warnings and advisories."
Still, the area was just shaken by another quake, this one a 6.1 magnitude. We'll watch for more news from there.

Welcome disc golfer! You can login or create an account.
Questions? Call us: (785) 258-2494
The Innova Champion TeeBird is an overstable fairway driver and one of Innova's most accurate and reliable disc golf drivers. It has a combination of straight flight, high glide and good speed that make it accurate and long flying both upwind and downwind. It is a very versatile driver, excellent for pin-point accuracy, distance and sidearm. It is the preferred fairway driver of 12 time world champion and Hall of Famer, Ken Climo. Brother to the Innova TL (see below). 21.2 cm diameter
It is a great choice as a utility driver, headwind driver, sidearm driver, for hyzer shots, flex shots, and thumbers.
Speed 7, Glide 5, Turn 0, Fade 2
About Champion plastic in general - it is more stable than all other plastics. It provides outstanding performance and durability. Champion golf discs retain original flight characteristics much longer and are distinguished by their clear or pearlescent colors.
About Color and Availability - pictured above are some available Champion colors. This model may not be available in all of these colors. Likewise, each weight range may not be available in all colors. Therefore we ask you to list and prioritize your color preferences and to give us guidance if the color or weight range you want happens to not be available. Feel free to contact us if you need more specific info.

"The TeeBird is the workhorse of all my drivers because: 1. It has plenty of distance. 2. It is super dependable upwind or downwind. 3. It is very predictable. 4. It is the Roc of drivers. " - Steve Wisecup
"The TeeBird should be a staple of every golfer's bag. When new, it flies straight with a smooth hyzer finish. As it gets beat up it flies straight with very little deviation from its flight path." - Mike Solt
If you are looking for a disc with
more Glide, try the Archangel
more Turn, try the Eagle
more Fade, try the Banshee
Other Speed 7 discs include the Banshee, Eagle and TL.
For the sake of comparing:
The TeeBird+ differs from the TeeBird in that it is made from the Plus Mold. The angle of the rim under the disc was changed in that it angles outwards slightly more than the regular rim which is more of a 90° angle to the bottom of the disc. This slight angling of the rim provides a smoother release. Everything else is the same. There is a limited supply of Plus Mold TeeBirds. Try it before they are gone!
The TeeBird-L fairway driver is straight. The TL is the brother of the reliable TeeBird. The "L" stands for "Less Overstable" and "Longer". This disc has the same great speed and glide as the TeeBird, but is straighter flying with less fade at the end of the flight. If you are looking for a straight flying maximum fairway driver, the TL is the answer. It is a great choice for a first fairway driver, tight fairway driver, placement driver, turnover shots, and beginner disc golfers. Beginner friendly. 21.2 cm. Speed 7, Glide 5, Turn 0, Fade 1.
The TL+ differs from the TL in that it is made from the Plus Mold. The angle of the rim under the disc was changed in that it angles outwards slightly more than the regular rim which is more of a 90° angle to the bottom of the disc. This slight angling of the rim provides a smoother release. Everything else is the same. With its easy-release rim, the TL+ comes out clean. The Plus rim and the TL's neutral flight make this disc easy to throw for straight drives. It could be the ultimate smooth fairway driver.
The TeeBird3 represents the evolution of the TeeBird. The TeeBird3 is faster (Speed 8) with less glide, and has the same trusted turn and fade flight ratings as the original TeeBird. Many people have described a lot of discs as a "faster TeeBird", but this is the real deal. The flatter flight plate promotes speed while reducing glide, effectively producing consistent, accurate flights. This is a point and shoot, target specific fairway driver. Speed 8, Glide 4, Turn 0, Fade 2.

Thank you for the healing post, pic#2 saved to desktop.

Guys, I'm at the game and it was thrilling to the very end! We beat Penn State!! Ummm, we were playing in Tampa at the Outback Bowl right? (i drank quite a bit last night)

for what it's worth, sportsbybrooks tweeted that he was told that richrod contacted maryland this week but was told that the job is leach's. apparently he knows he's gone as well.

Let's heal it for the ladies up as well....
- January 01, 2011 5:13 PM
- Andy said...
Of course he is gone. No question about it. You could tell by his body language all day long.
If there is any hesitation or by some strange miracle he returns -- I am going to take the next season or two off. I can't stand watching our once proud program get embarrassed anymore.
- January 01, 2011 5:20 PM
- bigGexpress said...
If it is Harbaugh, expect hesitation at least until Tuesday.
- January 01, 2011 5:39 PM
- srudoff said...
Can you imagine what would happen to the next coach if it's NOT Harbaugh?? Coming in to a ton of disappointed fans. Similar to Golden going to Miami after all the Gruden rumors.
- January 01, 2011 5:59 PM
- Mikoyan said...
I have a feeling of two things:
1. Rich Rod is probably gone. After both the embarassment in Columbus and now this, he has to be gone. The defense couldn't stop Hans Moleman. If he's not gone there are going to be some wholesale changes...the Defensive staff will definately be gone.
2. If Rich Rod is gone....I just have this suspicion that our new coach isn't going to be Harbaugh.
- January 01, 2011 6:34 PM
- MichmanOK said...
He's gone. I'm in favor of Harbaugh, but something is telling me Brady Hoke.
- January 01, 2011 7:12 PM
- phil said...
It was reported Miss. St. all had the flu. I would have hated to go up against them when they were feeling well. I hope Harbaugh is the new hire. If he doesn't come, then somewhere along the line he and Michigan had a falling out.
- January 01, 2011 7:21 PM
- wingedhelmet said...
If Jim ("you will never step foot on a Michigan football field again")Harbaugh doesn't become the HC of Michigan football by Thursday of this week, I will assume that DB has failed his first big test as AD. Having said that; as long as RR is headed for parts unknown I will at least have hope that Michigan football will be on the way back. And for the haters let me just say - by back I mean; respected, respectful, fundamentally sound, competitive, confident and proud and yes MGO all innies capable of losing at least one important should have won it game a year, because you see that would mean that at least the team was in a position to have a "meaningful" game.
Finally thanks for the healing, but for an old school guy like me, maybe a Maize and Blue walker with a cupholder or something along those lines. Not complaining, just saying.

I concur if he stays I will not support the team next year. Idc who the coach is but the entire staff there now must go immediately. I don't even care if it's harbaugh it could be someone I've never heard of and I'd be happy.

Detroit News is reporting "Denard Robinson won't say he'll return to U-M if Rich Rodriguez is fired"
- January 01, 2011 10:35 PM
- Bigasshammm said...
If denard leaves then good riddance. Michigan is not about a coach. I'm sick of all of this shit. I'd almost rather they hire some nobody coach who comes in and rewashes the slate. Back to simple fundamental football. I wouldn't even care if they sucked if they were at least lpooking like they're trying.
- January 01, 2011 10:56 PM
- Jim said...
If RR goes, he's got no one to blame, but I'd rather see one more year with another DC. I'm not sure I could stomach Harbaugh after his comments.
In fact, if RR goes I think it's more likely that we dip into an even darker period. Harbaugh will likely have better options at Stanford or the pros...then what?
If RR goes and we could have anyone? I think I'd rather have Peterson or Patterson.

Let me get this straight, Bigasshammm, no player or coach is bigger than the program but you will no longer support UM if they keep a coach you don't like? Reeeeealllly?
I'm now fine with trying something else. Not only because of the suck on the field but this specualting and postulating has been wearing on me. i just want it to be over.

SWISS-MADE coffee machines costing taxpayers more than $7000 each are found throughout a federal government department, causing quite a stir in the Coalition.
The Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism has nine top-of-the-line Swiss coffee machines which together cost $63,225.
Four smaller machines, some with an unreleased price tag, have also been bought since 2009. During a recent Senate estimates hearing, Liberal senator David Bushby ground the department down about its coffee use.
This week Senator Bushby filtered through the written answers to find a staggering price tag.
The data also showed the department had spent $37,203 buying coffee for the machines since 2009, and about $2000 a year on machine maintenance. ''That adds up to over $100,000 that taxpayers have spent filling up the coffee cups of bureaucrats in this government department in around three years,'' Senator Bushby said.
''Given Labor's promise to rein in spending and exercise fiscal restraint I would've thought one of the first savings measures would've been swapping the taxpayer-funded macchiato, latte or mocha for a tin of instant blend and a kettle.''
The department's answers showed nine Jura Impressa X9 machines costing $7,025.25 each were bought since 2009.
The answers also revealed Tourism Australia has a $13,922 Carimali espresso coffee machine in its Sydney office, which was bought in 2008.
''The government simply cannot play the productivity card in a bid to defend its spending on these high-end coffee machines,'' Senator Bushby said.

Finding the correct floor for your household might appear like a daunting job, but actually it simply comes down to having the information, evaluating the styles and picking the right person to install it.
The initial question you're almost certainly to ask is 'what kind of wooden floor is best'. The solution is dependent upon a number of criteria such as which room you are looking to install it in, your way of living Benefits of Wood Flooring Phenix City AL 36867 and the spending budget you have available.
There are three categories of wood flooring; solid wood, engineered wood and laminate. There are pros and cons of each and it's essential to understand fully what each kind will offer before committing to a final decision. Hardwood flooring is typically perceived as the most in-demand type of wood flooring. However, restricted budgets and an involved maintenance and installment process have meant that many people are beginning Phenix City AL 36867 to turn to other kinds of wood flooring in order to reach their needs.
Solid Wood Flooring
As the name implies, this type of wood flooring is solid wood all the way through. Solid wood is milled from one piece of wood. It is often known as 'hardwood flooring' and is possibly the most common sort of wood flooring used in homes these days.
Solid wood flooring has many advantages. With its elegance being the Flooring Installation: How To Choose The Best Company? Phenix City AL 36867 main focus, it's significant not to forget the more practical benefits just like resilience, stain resistance (including wine and food), simple to clean, warm to the touch, hygienic and dust free making it especially good for allergy sufferers.
This flooring option can be susceptible to scrapes and dents however this is not a problem in the long terms since solid wood floors can be re-sanded numerous times, increasing it's life for decades. It should Phenix City AL 36867 be remembered however, that solid wood might not be the most suitable option for moist areas such as kitchens or bathrooms since it can have the tendency to expand or contract if exposed to changing temperatures or a damp environment.
It is commonly suggested that installation be performed by an expert, since solid wood flooring cannot be installed straight on concrete or on top of your existing floor, instead it has to be nailed Phenix City AL 36867 to a wooden sub-floor.
Engineered Flooring
Engineered wood flooring is produced by laminating a real wood layer on top of a base of wood. Engineered flooring has a top layer of hardwood above several criss-crossed layers of hardwood or softwood boards, on a plywood or veneered base. This sort of flooring is considered to be extremely stable because of the cross-layered construction, and is a excellent choice to solid-wood flooring.
Engineered wood Phenix City AL 36867 floors are very versatile and can be installed invisibly nailed, floated on wooden floor with underlay or bonded with wood glue. This is a viable choice to think about if you are seeking to install the flooring yourself.
Engineered flooring is a terrific selection for rooms just like kitchens and bathrooms as it has constrained normal expansion and greater dimensional stability. The drawbacks of engineered flooring are that it does not have the same Phenix City AL 36867 life span as hardwood floor, and if any extreme damage is caused to the wood it cannot be repaired as quickly and can probably only be sanded a maximum of two times.
Laminate Flooring
The remaining type of wood flooring is laminate. It offers a equivalent look and feel to a solid wood floor but is normally more cost-effective and in many ways more resilient. Laminate flooring is manufactured by producing an image of wood Phenix City AL 36867 on a layer of plastic, which is laminated to a board backing.
Laminate flooring is of extraordinary quality, making it at times really hard to tell apart from its costlier alternatives. With textured finishes and bevelling choices available this sort of flooring can continue to give a real wood appearance at a fraction of the cost.
Installation is easy in comparison to the solid wood floor which is why many individuals go to set up Phenix City AL 36867 it by themselves. Since the laminate is not connected to the sub floor, levelling is important to making certain a high-quality finish. If the sub floor is bumpy then the laminate could have a spongy feel. Given that some laminates make use of a click system, with no glue it is possible to walk on it just after installation.
Laminate is highly durable and resistant to typical wear and tear including scratch resistant and Phenix City AL 36867 is easy to keep, so that it is perfect for busy homes and lifestyles. It works well in moist environments for example bathrooms and kitchens and price wise it's thought to be an incredible option.

Happy New Year everyone!! I figured I'd start the year off right with a heavily-requested video: My NEW Makeup Organization & Collection Details!
I'm obsessed with organizing so this video was so fun to do. My new makeup organizers are definitely some of my FAVORITE Christmas gifts from my sweet husband (if you want to see more of what I got for Christmas this year, check out my video all about that and my December Favorites here).
I'm SO loving how everything came together in my new organizers. They hold SO much, yet don't take up a ton of space. The best part? I've got some room to spare (hello future hauls). ;)
So check out the video below for tons of my makeup organization tips and to see exactly how I organize mine!
Here's the usual "where things are from" details:
white organizers: Alex 6 drawer unit from Ikea (I used two and stacked them WITHOUT the casters)
organizing trays in the drawers: Target (they still have similar items- also look at the Container Store)
perfume tray: Pier 1
mirrored vanity: Pier 1 (Hayworth Collection)
makeup mirror: Conair
little jeweled containers: Z Gallerie (also at Hobby Lobby)
brush holders on my vanity table: Sigma Beauty Make Me Classy Kits (holder makes 2 brush cups)

Let me start off by saying that I LOVE the whole "planet look" of the Mineralize products in this collection. So fun.
So fun, in fact, that MAC needs to create a HUGE collection based on space. Just my thoughts...
Anyway, this collection is anchored by the Mineralize products- Mineralize Skinfinish, Mineralize Eye Shadows, and Mineralize Blush. With some lipsticks, Cremesheen Glass, and random re-promoted skincare products and brushes thrown into the mix. So if you're a fan of Mineralize products (particularly the eye shadows because they are GORGEOUS) then go ahead and get all over this.
Personally, the Mineralize Eye Shadows are not my favorite thing. Not because the quality is bad or anything, but just because I wish they were more pigmented. They are just made to be more sheer. Especially the ones (like in this collection) that are very swirly with several different colors that make up the eye shadow. So when it's all blended, it usually turns into a shade that is nothing like what it looks like. Not that that is a bad thing. I just crave for them to look like the actual shades in the pot. Yes, you can use a (very small) brush and carefully get each color onto your brush. But let's be real, that drives me CRAAAZY. My favorite Mineralize Eye Shadows are the ones that have larger shapes of color within them that you can actually work with separately or the super dark ones that contain very few colors swirled together. Those are just easier to work with and provide the best color payoff in my opinion.
As for the Mineralize blush, I've always been a fan. Just love them. Same with the MSF's. Just love.
Here are the products I received from the collection. There's lots more of the collection to see so be sure to check it out when it's released!
Also, to make things a little easier, I added a little star next to the names of products that are my favorites from the collection.

Before he even picks out his office furniture upon being named MSU head coach, Mark Dantonio told the world he'd put a "countdown clock" up in the MSU locker room in order to tick off the days until the Michigan game.
Then, when asked about the Wolverines' loss this year to Appalachian State, Dantonio jokingly asked if he should have a "moment of silence" for the Wolverines.
Most recently, in the days leading up to last Saturday's M/MSU game, Dantonio asked how long MSU was going to continue to "bow down to Michigan."
Yet when Michigan rises up to the challenge and beats MSU - after having to listen to all the crap above, suddenly Dantonio can't take any smack talk directed back at his team.
In his press conference yesterday, Dantonio expressed his anger over Michigan players pausing for a "moment of silence" at midfield at the end of the game in response to Dantonio's Appy State comment.
"This game is an important game. If they want to mock us, I'm telling them, it's not over. They can print all that crap all they want all over their locker room — it's not over. It will never be over here. It's just starting," said Dantonio.
Then, when asked about Mike Hart's comments in which he referred to MSU as Michigan's "little brother," Dantonio responded like an 8th grader trying to impress his friends in gym class.
"Does Hart have a little brother or is he the little brother?" Dantonio asked. "I don't know, he's…that tall."
Dantonio placed his hand to his chest to illustrate Hart's stature.
Ooooooh. Good one, Stifler.
These are college kids. And you basically called the Michigan players out with the clock shit and mocked them with you moment of silence line. So you think the Michigan players might have been a little anxious to do some talking of their own after they won? They didn't say shit before the game - you did. Let me say it again: you put a fucking countdown clock up in the locker room!
So get over yourself. Seriously. And if you can't take the response when you lose (due to some crappy coaching, by the way) then don't start it by talking shit in the first place. Because to bitch about it, when those you mocked first strike back, makes you look a little silly.
Oh, and the fine folks at MVictors had a lovely new idea for your countdown clock...
