  1. LOL - I get the idea of adding the player that gets you over the top, so that part of the parallel is right on, but OTOH, Shanahan was brought in to toughen a relatively 'soft' team. Looking at Yzerman's approach so far, that is most definitely not going to be the Wings problem when they are ready to look for the team's finishing touch this time.
  2. no arg there. But moreso, I hope Ono, since he does seem to care about intercollegiate sports, does spend some energy leveraging M's weight to have some input into where those sports are going. I never got the impression Schlissel was interested/engaged enough to facilitate any kind of leadership role. Like anything else, if the AAU schools won't lead, they will have to follow, and will end up with what the 'bama's want the system to be, and that will not be the best outcome for them.
  3. But Clemens had to be sent to Toledo as there is no role for him.
  4. the thing with an air frame is that each has a unique training, munitions, maintenance and logistics tail and some are a lot longer than others. Can the Ukrainians get as much effective utility as quickly with the 18 as the 16? That is the question that DOD needs to make a sound judgment about. And you hope that judgment is one wholly based on Ukraine's best interests and not internal DOD/vendor agendas.
  5. Is that series Hornet or SuperHornet? I'd be surprised if the US is willing to part with any SH.
  6. I suspect there is more F16 inventory. Have to think maintenance and support reqs on 15s would be an even longer learning curve.
  7. Granted, but like everything else so far, knowing what the Ukrainians need and getting it to them has not always been the same thing. Getting HIMARS to them has been like pulling teeth. And the Germans continue to drag their feet - or foot - as one of theirs is still firmly in the "We need Russian gas more than the future of the Western World" camp. 🙈🙉🙊
  8. the danger is that the Russians up their drone game with Iranian supplies - then the Himars become vulnerable to targeting unless you can control the local sky above them. A lot more surface to air capability could provide some of the same.
  9. I’ve been traveling recently and following mostly on game day. I’m finding it provides welcome emotional detachment from watching this slow motion train wreck on live video.
  10. Runs allowed will be the story of the second half. In fact given that even if the hip is nothing serious, they can't get many more innings from Faedo and Brieske they might as well start "playing" for another high pick. But instead they will rush Turnbull and Manning trying to salvage some kind of respect out of this disaster of a season and probably fry one of them even longer term.
  11. The advanced artillery systems can level the playing field, but Ukraine can’t win without air power. Thomas Theiner laid out a 1 yr plan to equip an integrated Ukrainian F16 force. Should start on it yesterday.
  12. There is a lot of optimism out there but I wouldn’t advise anyone to put their money on a new president turning MI into ‘bama. Like Buddha said, it’s a huge institution with a LOT of big constituencies that don’t care about or are even hostile to revenue sports.
  13. And Coolbaugh is *still* employed. If a guy doesn't get fired when his team is putting up century bad numbers with multiple players having career worst years, you have crossed right past Darryl Rogers level.
  14. You can also set up secure internet access to the data on you home server. That’s what my NAS has options for. The data stays on my drives, the NAS hosts it securely to the net.
  15. FWIW-He said more about sports in his intro remarks than Schlissel did in 8 yrs
  16. I have a Asustek NAS at home that will also serve security video to me via the web privately, but I admit I don’t feel the need to set it up currently.
  17. Important that the dems keep up the drumbeat right through to the fall.
