the just released schedules were a flat-out statement that the B10 doesn't believe SOS will matter in playoff selection
Highlights
Devin Gardner 2012 Highlights
Filed under:
OK, I lied. These aren't really Gardner highlights as much as they are Gardner/Gallon/Roundtree/Denard highlights or Offensive Highlights In Which Gardner Touches The Ball. I wanted to split up the highlights so they wouldn't be as long as last year's. If you think it's too short, that's probably because I couldn't include the Nebraska game after Denard got injured, the second half at OSU or the Big Ten Championship.

Bluestreak hasn't been maintaining the 2014 offer list so I've updated it. I used Rivals offer list along with TTB and the old 2014 list to compile this chart, making some judgment calls along the way. In some cases, I moved players to the positions they were offered at by Michigan's staff. (with the exception of Bo Scarbrough who was offered as a WR.) Michigan has verbally offered 85 players. The distribution is as follows:
QB: 1
RB: 8
WR: 13
TE: 4
OL: 18
DE: 7
DT: 4
LB: 12
CB: 9
S: 6
ATH: 3

DT Kenneth Finley 6'3" 265 lbs. Muskegon HS

OT: Help finding funny recruit video
MGoBoard, I require your assistance. I once saw a video posted on the board which was a hilarious fake recruiting video. It featured a recruit who in every play was simply running off the field, standing on the sidelines, etc. I believe that I first saw the video summer of last year.
I've searched YouTube, MGoBlog, and the internet in general for this video but have been unable to find it. Does anyone know what video I'm talking about and where I can find it? I've referenced this video several times with a friend and he's expressed interest in seeing it.
Thanks.
OT: The hotness that was Barry Sanders running the football
Filed under:
I figured that I would post something excellent for people to watch rather than talking about you-know-what. After watching it, I can sympathize with the Lions for deciding that "hand it to Barry" would be their Super Bowl-winning strategy for ten seasons.
