Hmmm... what was Paterno's record against Schembechler, Moeller and Carr?

Considering you only finally beat us for the first time in 10 tries, this year, maybe you should shut your pie hole and hope Rodriguez sticks around for a while.

Darn it, you're right. Amazing, I couldn't pull the wool over your eyes. How do you do it? It must be all those connections to our program that you have out there in Las Vegas.

However, even with your vast insider knowledge, I'd still rather take the word of well, ME and the friends of mine who actually know our program's leadership and players, support the program and consort with many other supporters, over that of a buckeye on the outside looking at us through blinders.

Just because you and your cronies WANT something to be true, doesn't MAKE it true. You were classless in canning Cooper because he couldn't beat us and you want to believe that we did the same thing. Nope.

Stick to the simple arguments - like the fact that you've won 5 straight over us. That has a lot more punch than erroneous speculation does.

Yes, take river's word for this. After all, he's a buckeye fan. And he knows that Carr was fired. So his info is TIP TOP.

Well let's see:

McGuffie almost didn't come to Michigan anyway, had a death in the family, and has a younger brother that he is basically raising. Throw in a recurring concussion... wow major shocker he needs to move back home.

Kates was a career loafer who wouldn't have seen the field even if Lloyd and his softies were coaching still

Babb was kicked off the team because he repeatedly broke team rules.

Horn had no place in the new offense so it's smart for him to transfer.

Butler is a career penalty machine, dog house resident and under achiever who was switched from TE to DE in his 4th season - if that doesn't put the writing on the dorm room wall I don't know what will.

Then we have Artis Chambers... a guy we certainly had high hopes for when we recruited him out of Indiana. A high school QB and safety, He quickly found out that he didn't really have a position - too slow for Safety (and at Michigan, that's really saying something) and too small and/or unwilling to play linebacker. So... disappointing that it didn't work out, but there has to be desire on the part of the player and I'm not sure we saw any of that.

Also, as has been pointed out above, this junk's been common knowledge for weeks, it's just official now. But... this is the Detroit Free Press we're talking about.

Dear Free Press,

Please stop publishing. You never have your details straight. MSU was the only program to offer Appling a scholarship and the only way this kid was not going to play ball for MSU was if Izzo didn't offer him one. Also, please stop calling these types of commitments "ORAL" commitments. That's just ridiculous.

That said, Appling is a pretty nice looking prospect and another good get for Sparty. If he keeps developing over the next two HS seasons he could be a top 10 or 15 prospect.

Kitna can only hope this is true.

Drew Sharp is a worthless hack, though, so Kitna probably knows he has at least a few more months to wake up realizing he's employed by the Fords.

For someone like Brewster, who's known as a great recruiter but not necessarily the best X's and O's guy, to go into a program like Minnesota and instantly proclaim that they are going to reach the pinnacle (Rose Bowl, BCS, etc)... is just silly.

Set reasonable goals. Try .500 football and some solid fund raising for that new stadium first, then try 8-4. Then start talking about reaching the next level.

If he was still available with the 29th pick when my Pistons were drafting, I still wouldn't want him.

Since you can't hit the Goalile - you'd have to be one pretty **** dumb Goalie NOT to fall down when someone comes in contact with you.

But hey, this is the best offense the Penguins have showed thus far in the series?
Posted Wednesday May 21, 2008, About: Big 12 wants fifth year for football
Hmmm... so would they also be pushing for a boost in the 85 scholarship limit? I can't imagine many coaches being too thrilled with having even more of those 85 tied up for a 5th year.
Posted Friday May 16, 2008, About: NFL teams lining up for LA market?
This sounds like the perfect opportunity for the NFL to kill the pitiful excuse of an organization known as the Detroit Lions. Move them out to LA and start completely over from scratch with new... everything.

"These schools need to take a page out of Michigan's playbook. General Studies, Independent study courses with grossly inflated grades, etc etc."


And... of course you have EXTENSIVE proof of this, right? Probably the same EXTENSIVE proof that the Ann Arbor News was able to dig up in their 7-month investigation that amounted to all of three athletes with a few too many independent study classes on their transcripts. Wow. Shocking.

It's not our fault your old man won't give it up. Keep hatin' on us. I love it.
Posted Wednesday April 30, 2008, About: Are Pac 10 & Big Ten to blame?
Hahaha... so one one hand there's no way you could get that many people to travel and then on the other hand you're saying that there's too many fans that would be in the stands to make the logistics possible to have two games at one site?

This is exactly why a playoff will never happen. Nobody even knows where to start and the answer is always "no".
Posted Wednesday April 30, 2008, About: Are Pac 10 & Big Ten to blame?
So apparently, the fan bases of the college basketball teams are smaller? Or easier to manage the travel of? Admittedly some are (e.g. Davidson, Valparaiso, etc). But what about the high majors and elite programs?

Anyone got any revenue statistics handy for what takes in more money? Bowl games or the NCAA tournaments? If I had to guess I would say they are about equal.

And I'm talking about total revenue - not just the gate.

A playoff could easily happen, if only people would take their heads out of the sand.
Posted Monday April 21, 2008, About: Penn LB to commit to Buckeyes
I mean, he's a 5-star LB prospect out of high school who's highlight films show him unblocked more than 2/3 of the time... what could possibly go wrong at the college level? All of the rest are NFL starting LBs, no?

If a guy commits to your arch rival before even visiting, do you even care? I don't need any more Justin Boren losers, thank you.
Posted Thursday April 17, 2008, About: Young RB excites Badgers
I remember when we were recruiting this guy. I think he was too fast for us, though. We used to like to recruit guys who run 4.6 and 4.7 in the 40 for RB. Otherwise they would run into our fat slow linemen who were blocking... air.


Jesus thank god that's over.
Posted Thursday April 17, 2008, About: UCLA ditch day angers recruits
I just... I mean...

How the hell does this act ever get to the point of being tradition? How does it even happen one time without scholarship athletes being demoted or getting kicked off the team?

RN supposedly addressed the team about this well before it happened. He should have just said, "Guys, if you walk off that field you walk off your spot on the depth chart - period."
Posted Tuesday April 01, 2008, About: Wolverines land Ohio commitment
Yeah, you're talking about Mealer JR. That's quite a family and QUITE a situation they have been put through. RR has been to the hospital a few times while his brother has been stuck in there. Everyone should be praying he can walk again in the future. You should see the donations that have rolled in for his family, especially after news got out that they were going to have make a lot of changes to their house to allow for the brother to move around in his current state.

As for recruiting a kid to get to another - I don' think there are any serious errors in judgment happening (recruiting a kid who simply cannot play at the school's level just for the sake of having a friend recruit someone else) but coaches seem to be willing to take a shot on a developmental project or a kid that will be able to provide only depth since they need those kind of guys anyway. And if it has an obvious connection to a higher-level prospect that's all the better.
Posted Tuesday April 01, 2008, About: Wolverines land Ohio commitment
Without getting into all of the P*** and S*** of the matter (good grief people), let's get back to the facts of the situation:

This is an under-the-radar prospect who is still growing. Going to be tough to keep him quick and fast enough to stay at Safety. I'm guessing he will end up being a Will linebacker in college so he can run the field.

Also, though he is a pretty nice prospect, I think this was equal parts interest in Bell and interest in securing a commitment from his teammate - a speedy slot receiver who has Michigan on the brain as well.
