U-M football players to miss Heroes for Kids fundraiser

U-M football players to miss Heroes for Kids fundraiser - The Saginaw News Online - Michigan Newspaper - MLive.com

The fourth annual Heroes For Kids golf benefit likely still will take place Wednesday at Apple Mountain Golf Club, but not as originally planned.

Larry Preston, one of the directors of the event which raises money for Saginaw youth recreation, said he learned today that no University of Michigan football players are able to take part in Wednesday's benefit.


"It's a big disappointment for all of us," Preston said. "The (U-M) players always have said how much they enjoy Heroes For Kids, and the strength and conditioning coach (Mike Barwis) said he wants to work with us on this next year.

"But this workout is mandatory, and all players must attend. It's coach Rod's call on that. This is his first year (at U-M), and he's doing everything he can to make sure his team is successful."

Former U-M football player and current Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker LaMarr Woodley started the event four years ago along with former Michigan State University football player and current St. Louis Rams defensive lineman Clifton Ryan. The two launched the Heroes For Kids benefit as a way to give back to Saginaw, where both were born and played sports when they were youngsters.


--That's just awesome. This is an event the Michigan players have been supporting for 4 years, and was started by former player Lamarr Woodley. The event is called Heroes for Kids. Guess who won't be a hero after this week?

Oh yeah, one other thing. According to NCAA rules, no team is allowed to have "mandatory conditioning" at this point in the summer. But to tell a charity event none of your players can come because it's a mandatory conditioning session? Rich Rod, you really need to learn what this phrase means- Do The Right Thing.

According to Justin Borlen, (or whatever that kid's name is who transferred to the "evil school down south"), Rod has no "family values" what-so-ever.

What a crock, do you really believe Coach Rod would stand in the way of charity, just to have a practice? I'll stand by words from the previous post.

+1. Out of the stone age, bring in the new. I'm excited as hell about this season. I think they will be better than a lot of the pundits think. It all depends how quickly the O-line develops. ( A sophmore, and 4 freshmen). The defense will have to carry them for a while. By the way Jimbo, quite a few ex-Wolverines came back to Ann Arbor to participate in workouts with the new strength coach, and they all said it was a radical change from the previous guy. The emphasis being on speed and explosiveness. We'll see how this works out, but I like the change in direction.

GO BLUE!!!

Yes, from what I have heard about the new trainer, his training is totally different then what is being commonly done. Many have said it was tough, but have survived and you are right NFL players have come back for the training.

While I dont think they will be BCS bound...I find it real hard even with the graduations and new style that they will be a five win team as many including SI have them pegged for.

SI doesn't know their butts from a hole in the ground. 7 wins minimum. You read it here.

Paul, your mixing up the comments.
Borlen said the stuff about family values, but had NOTHING to do with the kids and charity thing.

I'm sure you saw the pissing contest the two teams had regarding who's working harder in the off season this year.

Since it was already "paid" for, I spent the two hours of my time watching the John Cena action movie on Apple TV, "Matchbox The Movie" even though the reviews were brutal. It was better than I expected, so I didn't feel like I had wasted an afternoon watching it. But it felt like another "Reacher"/"Neghley"/"Mission: Impossible"/"Fast & Furious" crash and blow stuff up with lots of automatic gunfire mixed in movie featuring covert CIA operatives.

I don't think we'll get a follow-up movie from this. I expect Mattel will have other toy lines to exploit.

PISTONS and THUNDER are finally testing on the stream server. PISTONS is showing the Ion/Scripps Sports promo loop filler that their NHL and WNBA feeds have, THUNDER has a "You are watching Thunder+" slate

The Clippers still haven't officially announced their TV plans beyond 10 simulcasts on KTLA, but the NBA's FAQ for ClipperVision is now live. The CLIPPERS feed is currently showing a loop of their Hawaii preseason game.

The Heat still haven't announced their West Palm Beach or Fort Myers affiliates. Since WPLG is streaming the games for free via their app, I doubt we'll be seeing the return of WPLG on stream.

So far nothing testing for the Bucks, Magic, Hawks or Hornets.

West Palm Beach is getting it on WTCN-CD/43 MNT. Still nothing for Fort Myers


Also, the Thunder's deal for KSBI/52 OKC and KQCW/19 Tulsa will be via a special cable and DIRECTV only feed of those stations. OTA viewers and Dish customers will be limited to 10 games.

Thanks for the updates on CW norfolk
Hopefully comes to sat soon!!

Not seeing 44 (WVBT-DT/44 CW Norfolk ) on my D* app for firestick

It's only available for streaming customers, they still haven't added that batch of CW stations to satellite.

Even if it was, satellite customers still can't stream their CW affiliates via the app, just the Big 4, select PBS stations and some independents (mainly the ones that have full season NHL/NBA rights)

Yes the Cowboys owner needs to fire the general manager (himself), co-owner, Chief Operating Officer (COO), Executive Vice President, Director of Player Personnel, and President of AT&T Stadium (his son) and then he should jump off of a cliff. Only then can they recover.

Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson had an argument about who was responsible for the dynasty building of the early 90's Cowboys.

The rest of us figured it out in about 3 years, Jerry has had over 30 years but still can't admit it. It's all he lives for, to show everyone he can put together a winner. I don't think he can. His kids only know what he taught them.

Odd that out there, Prem is only 40 cents higher. Here it's a full dollar more.

Last night it was about $4.17 gas, $6,19 diesel.

On the West Coast, a 40-cent differential is common. It used to be 30 cents before the prices rose above $3.

A "full dollar more" sounds like it may be boat gas (non-alcoholic), which is a whole different discussion.

Both non-ethanol and prem run about the same....buck more. When we were up in TN it was a buck more up there as well.

In Oregon, our premium boat gas is about a dollar more than our corn premium. Several stations only offer the non-corn premium grade.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....
