I'm not sure Avila having a breakout year can make up for the potential loss of Cabrera, Jackson, Grandy...

There arent any FA mentioned... though Tigs are looking to offload $

like?

This is good news for everyone in the eastern conference. Well, except the C's...

Posted Wednesday November 25, 2009, About: Red Sox interested in Cabrera?

Yeah, players like Cabrera and Mauer are a dime a dozen. What team would want two players that finished 1 and 4 in MVP voting?

But you can teach piano playing... maybe that's where we've gone wrong in the past...

Having to get bailed out of jail in the middle of what was essentially a playoff series didn't so much build collateral with Dombrowski....

Posted Tuesday November 24, 2009, About: Mangini suggests Lions faked injuries

Yep. Mangidiot stuck foot in mouth again. When QB scrambles it eliminates some calls like illegal contact, but a pass is a pass is a pass. You can't mug a guy when the ball is already on its way...

The biggest mistake? Not cutting ties with Singlio when it was clear this year that he wasn't producing early. Cut him then, then you dont look bad for doing it later, and you avoid looking like a chump on the slim/outside chance you somehow blow your lead in the central....

Said it all summer... $18 mil - I told you so!

Was it Jim Calhoun? Couldn't handle attention going somewhere other than the basketball program?

Magini, we are thankful for you gladly taking the place of the Lions as the butt of the NFL.

Sure, Carr didn't leave the cupboard bare, but coaching changes affect recruiting. We lost a few recruits in the change-over, both typical Carr recruits that would have come if Carr stayed, and recruits that would have come to RichRod if he had been there. For example, as much as he's public enemy #1 now, Boren would be a nice addition to get the push for Minor, Brown and Smith.

That being said, most of RichRod's DB recruits aren't on the field. Lots of key defensive red shirts... lets hope they pan out because Warren, Graham, the O-line are all Carr guys and are all the guys that are the bright spots currently...

1/2 title my ass... everyone and their mother knows UM got screwed that year... (but technically you are correct, and your argument is still a good one)

Posted Friday November 20, 2009, About: Agent: Michigan president backs Rodriguez

Yep. AA85, you realize that even though your blue kool aid drinker, river knows more about UM football and has more respect for it...

Posted Thursday November 19, 2009, About: Agent: Michigan president backs Rodriguez

I feel ya. It sucks right now. ND cant give UM crap, since their the one highpoint during Rich Rod's tenure, but its certainly not like we can say much either...

Big 10 needs a healthy Michigan, just like Michigan needs a healthy ND...

I think the "general pulse",honestly, is WTF. Sorry I can't tell you more or less than that. No one really knows what to think. We've never really been in this position before...

Its gonna be a big weekend for Blue! My prediction:

- UM: 74 OSU: 0
- Report in Freep reveals the nature of extra "practice " were actually calculus and premed study sessions.
- Justin Feagin mix up is resolved when its revealed the whole situation was a charity stunt gone wrong
- We finally realize that the secondary portion of our roster was inadvertantly swapped for the soccer team's backfield roster
- We find out that Rich Rod lawyers were actually trying to figure out a way to donate more money to WV since they felt so bad.
- Rich Rod announces that his tear filled press conference was just allergies, and Zyrtec has solved that problem.
- RichRod lands verbal intents from 30 out of the top 50 recruits in the nation.

Did I say prediction? I meant minimum standard for RROD keeping his job...

*will be read very differently

Posted Thursday November 19, 2009, About: Agent: Michigan president backs Rodriguez

The content of the findings that land on MarySue's desk will also be very different depending on what happens Saturday....

Posted Thursday November 19, 2009, About: Agent: Michigan president backs Rodriguez

-- he said he wasn't sure what the meeting was about or how it arose --

As an agent your not supposed to say the pres has his back, and then go on to make this statement... it sort of blows the cover that you were just blowing smoke...

Posted Wednesday November 18, 2009, About: Harbaugh won't comment on Michigan rumors

By the way, any chance we can have our QB coach back?
