My cat, Justine Purrlander, and I watching the pitcher she was named after @JustinVerlander one final time. Go @Tigers!!
You’re half right. Michigan should give Bryce Underwood another shot. But you’re wrong about Tommy Carr. The real problem is Jason Beck. Get rid of him and let Bryce and Tommy split QB duties until one emerges as the clear winner.
I really hope Bryce Underwood sticks around next year. I know he’ll probably transfer, but he’s such a good teammate and Jason Beck has been so bad it’s hard to tell just how bad Underwood actually was.
Exactly! I have no problem cleaning up after myself if I’m staying with a friend. But they don’t charge me for the room, let alone a cleaning fee to clean up after myself. So it’s not a fair comparison. They’re comparing apples and oranges.
All of the AirBnB drama boils down to the fact that hosts are running a >>norm arbitrage scheme to get better margin<<:
Hosts deliberately conflate two sets of norms:
1) socially, you're a treasured friend/family who tidies up after himself.
2) commercially, you're a customer who paid for housekeeping.
As a paying guest, you get the obligations of the first and the invoice of the second.
It has always bugged me. No bueno.

The worst part is if you just subtract Jason Beck from this team its an easy playoff team
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but if Michigan hadn’t future fired Wards Manuel, he could fire Jason Beck right now.
Michigan is literally going to lose a generational QB prospect this offseason because there’s no one in charge in Ann Arbor right now.

Airbnb owners are my favorite breed of “entrepreneurs” because they’re running service businesses but think they’re real estate moguls who discovered an infinite money glitch.
Your customer base is shitting on you saying Airbnb host demands are insufferable.
But instead of listening to the market they will just complain to daddy Airbnb about the mean guests (their paying customers)
Marriott hotels for me 7 days a week and twice on Sundays.
its just bonkers the new policy @airbnb is trying to put in place. Putting the dishes in the dishwasher, taking out the trash, pulling the sheets off the bed....they are just standard things any normal person would do when staying at a house. Why wouldn't a host be allowed to say that?
Airbnb was cool when it first came out. A safer version of couchsurfers. I remember staying in a spare room at my host’s house and they would show me around town.
But once they turned it into a hotel competitor, it lost its appeal.
Higher prices
Manual labor
No rewards
The good thing about figuring this out now is it means maybe Bryce Underwood can still turn things around.
But we can’t wait until the offseason to get rid of Jason Beck. It has to happen now so we can evaluate these QBs before next season.
Michigan Loss is 1000 percent on Jason Beck. It’s not Underwood’s fault. It’s not Tommy Carr’s fault. It’s all Jason Beck’s fault. Shoot Jason Beck to the moon #Goblue

Watching Michigan with two different quarterbacks, it's hard not to conclude that Michigan's offensive problems are more OC Jason Beck than it was Bryce Underwood or is Tommy Carr.

Airbnb hosts really believe they are doing you a favor by letting you pay thousands of dollars plus cleaning fees to stay in a property they mortgaged
It’s the opposite—guests are doing YOU a favor by choosing to be a customer of your business when there are many options

It’s criminal that Michigan’s coaching staff is wasting such an elite defense because Kyle Whittingham “stands by” Jason Beck.
College football is wide open this season.
If our offensive ran north-south, we could win it all.
“Stands by?” Are you kidding me?
What happened in Utah, stays in Utah. No one in the Big Ten cares about that stuff.
Kyle Whittingham says Jason Beck wishes he had back some red zone calls, but stands by his OC, noting the success he had at Utah last year and how hard the staff is working behind the scenes. MORE: wolverineswire.usatoday.com/…

When CJ Carr goes to watch his brother Tommy Carr play, it’s a great story. But when a friend of mine goes to watch my son Ryan Day play, Pete Thamel throws a fit.

Because they’re not houseguests. They’re paying customers. The same way no one helps the restaurant cleanup or do dishes after dinner is over, even though that would be totally normal if you went to a friends dinner get together.
You should sue them for millions.
Like you said it’s not about the thousands you paid for tickets. Those memories are irreplaceable. Worth much more than the cost of a seat.
And it’s not like the Brewers will be back any time soon.
The sickening stories keeping coming in…😢😢😢
SHAME ON YOU, @StubHub.
Imagine being a kid, a HUGE @Brewers fan, and finding out you’re going to see your team play in the WORLD SERIES! ⚾️💙💛
The excitement. The anticipation. The memories you’re already imagining making.
Now imagine having that excitement ripped away because a company sold your 3 tickets that you bought, that they apparently can’t deliver.
That’s exactly what we’re dealing with right now.
We purchased THREE tickets to the Milwaukee Brewers World Series for Game 1 last Tuesday(13th) through StubHub. We selected our section, our row, paid for our tickets, and received our order confirmation.
Everything was supposed to be set.
Then suddenly, StubHub tells us they’re “searching for replacement options” because they can’t provide the tickets we purchased.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
How does a company accept someone’s hard earned money, confirm a purchase, and then turn around and say they can’t fulfill it?!
And their solution? We can request a refund while they continue looking for tickets.
THIS ISN’T ABOUT THE MONEY.
It’s about the experience. It’s about the memories. It’s about the excitement of a kid, his dad, and grandpa, who thought they were going to watch their favorite baseball team play on the biggest stage in baseball.
Look at the first picture. That’s the disappointment you’re creating, StubHub.
A refund doesn’t replace that moment.
And here’s what really bothers me…
StubHub advertises a “FanProtect Guarantee” and tells customers their orders are “100% guaranteed.”
Guaranteed WHAT, exactly?!
Because from where we’re sitting, that guarantee doesn’t feel worth much when you can’t deliver the tickets you sold us.
We did everything right. We purchased through a major ticket marketplace. We trusted the confirmation. We trusted the guarantee.
Now it’s time for StubHub to make it right.
We aren’t asking for anything extra. We want the three tickets we paid for, or comparable or better seats together, at no additional cost.
Stubhub…DO BETTER.
Please SHARE this. Not just for us, but for every fan who has trusted a ticket company with an experience that means so much more than the price of admission.

Didn’t y’all get swept?
Just a friendly reminder that the Dodgers had the Brewers on the ropes and would’ve beaten them 9/10 times
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Brewers swept the Dodgers.
