Joe could you publish the number and pin code to the B1G conference call for anyone of us that want to participate?

Joe's not really being honest.

He has no thoughts (as a professional journalist) on Harbaugh skipping a BTN interview?

Not buying it.

he wants to keep being invited to the cocktail parties.. it's what happens these days when anyone with a blog can be a "journalist"..

Moose got selected the most, I recall about 2-3 of his questions getting through.

I'm surprised that the corporate lackeys let that one get through.

No coach has ever skipped the interview. Harbaugh does, and Joe has no thoughts on it.

No offense, Joe...but, if you're not going to be honest with your readers, then you lose some credibility. I will no longer participate in these sham chats.

Heartbreaking.

Great job, guys, and Bob.

Look for 'steve' trying to get some ridiculous questions through.

My friend Blanch thinks that the Italy hoops trip is prepwork for the eventual MSU-USC game in Greece. Do you think this is true and have you heard anything further about that potential game?

Yeah I have. Hold on...

WBH LOL!!!!

Joe didn't answer my question about tailgating.

I asked one too.

He also isn't answering my question about our poll, or where Bob has been.

I asked him if he thought I should be a mod here. Then I linked it. My question didn't even show up

Mimosa?

Geezus.

Is Joe the one approving these to get through, or someone else?

Ask in the chat.

Are there seriously new tailgating rules? Link please.

Is Joe #TeamTanfan or #TeamNigel?

I found this. There was a PDF as well, somewhere, but I can't find that one.

I didn't realize you could no longer be dropped off. That is pretty damn annoying. I'm tired of MSU and all of its rules.

Giant Moose wrote:I didn't realize you could no longer be dropped off. That is pretty damn annoying. I'm tired of MSU and all of its rules.

I think that's just for people that drop off stuff and go into a lot to save a space.

OK, that is better then if that's the case.

I am pretty sure can still drop your freshmen daughter off at a frat house, too.

It doesn't specify that people can't be dropped off to save a space, it just says people can't be dropped off. I hope your interpretation is right.

OK. You're just making Moose paranoid now. Stop it.

I don't think it will impact me for the Oregon game, but this could be trouble some day. I'll let you guys figure it out and report back.

They would have to hire a lot of people to police/enforce an absolute no drop off rule. Simmer down.

He is really flying off the handle over this tailgating drop off thing.

Did you make some synergies with your expanding global initiatives? How do the metrics look?
