Countdown to Kickoff - Day 8: Henriette The Otter of Énergie and Jerry Montgomery
Unlike her brother, Henri, Henriette, the otter of énergie, is so excited about the return of The Fort that she can't stop dancing.
Programming note:
We missed the first broadcast of FS-Detroit's Michigan preview but we should get the noon replay and the BTN preview tonight. I'll post them here as soon as they are up on YouTube.

I like Henriette, but I find her slightly less attractive than Hyuna.
Also, hearing Jerry talk about moving linebackers to 3-tech at previous stops makes me feel a little better about Jibreel Black.

Sorry to thread jack, Thorin, but I feel this is something everyone would be interested in reading, and I don't have enough points to start a new topic (someone care to help me out?). Tom Dienhart from the Big Ten Network has an article about his thoughts on UM's practice yesterday. The most interesting info is a quote from Jerry Montgomery that as of now the starting DL would be Black, Roh, Campbell, and Washington. Apparently all that talk about Will Campbell at the 3-tech wasn't just for depth purposes. Also interesting is Hoke thinks there will be 12 freshman that play this season (Kalis, Braden on the o-line; receivers Amara Darboh and Jehu Chesson; d-lineman Ondre Pipkins; linebacker Joe Bolden; safety Jarrod Wilson; tight ends A.J. Williams and Devin Funchess).

It's probably a good thing that you don't have enough points since I posted the same link yesterday.
August 24th, 2012 at 8:20 AM ^
Wow, my bad for stealing your MGoThunder. Your title states a video, and I didn't click on a link to a video. Maybe have a more descriptive title and a little less whining.
August 24th, 2012 at 8:29 AM ^
Or maybe you should search a link before you post it. It was posted in the BTN preview open thread too.
August 24th, 2012 at 8:31 AM ^
And judging by the comments it looks like not many other people clicked on the "video" link. You added the Dienhart story later and didn't update your title. Change your title next time, and no need to be a douche.
August 24th, 2012 at 10:13 AM ^
Welcome to MGoBoard. Search your links.

From yesterday's front page article-

I'd get off my high horse if I were you.
August 24th, 2012 at 5:58 PM ^
Sorry, but I didn't see your post and my otter is way happier.
August 25th, 2012 at 1:14 AM ^
August 24th, 2012 at 8:32 AM ^
Sheesh - enough already Thorin. You are the king and we all bow to you. Leave her alone.
August 24th, 2012 at 9:11 AM ^
I think it's a guy. I wonder if you would have been so quick to jump to his rescue if you had known that.
p.s. I'm just teasing.
August 24th, 2012 at 8:35 AM ^
I missed Thorin's post yesterday so regardless of all of that tomfoolery thanks for the link.
August 24th, 2012 at 9:13 AM ^

I made a similar post last night in the BTN thread about the Dline quote from Coach Montgomery. I think that he considers the rush ends to be linebackers, which means Q Wash is the first big-body off the sideline.
August 24th, 2012 at 1:27 PM ^
That makes sense. At first I thought we were moving Roh back to WDE.
August 24th, 2012 at 8:34 AM ^
This is who I came up with: Walter Cross, Jason Avant, Jonas Mouton, Nick Sheridan, Terrance robinson, JT Floyd, Dwayne Ware, Doug Mallory, Trevor Pryce.
Avant was definitely my favorite of the bunch. Too bad Pryce transferred he was a monster when we recruited him and had a great NFL career.
August 24th, 2012 at 9:19 AM ^
missing Chris Howard, RB from the 1997 Championship team is a considerable whiff. In fairness, I would have missed a couple of yours.
Chris Howard and Chris Floyd may not have been flashy, but damned solid in that backfield. So much talent on that team...I feel like they never got enough credit. Brian always seemed to hit Howard in perfect stride on the screen passes.
August 24th, 2012 at 9:21 AM ^
Chris Howard and his 4 touchdown day against UCLA in '96.
August 24th, 2012 at 8:48 AM ^
Talking about freshman =
August 24th, 2012 at 9:27 AM ^
I thought it was interesting that despite that, they still showed a highlight of Pipkins when Karsch asked the freshmen question. Somewhere a video editor might be losing his job right now...
August 24th, 2012 at 8:54 AM ^
days until Michigan and Denard Robinson take a cue from the last Michigan quarterback to defeat an SEC team.
August 24th, 2012 at 8:57 AM ^
Depending how you want to play with your definitions, this guy might also qualify:
August 24th, 2012 at 9:06 AM ^
NOT A MICHIGAN MAN!!!!!!!!!
/s
August 24th, 2012 at 9:25 AM ^
August 24th, 2012 at 10:01 AM ^
That's not kickoff. That is 12am Saturday morning.
August 24th, 2012 at 11:38 AM ^
...but did you really want to see Nick Sheridan?
August 24th, 2012 at 9:44 AM ^
+1 to you sir.
August 24th, 2012 at 9:59 AM ^
August 24th, 2012 at 12:22 PM ^
My friend just introduced me to this song and now it's been in my head for the past couple days.
August 24th, 2012 at 12:23 PM ^
I felt so strongly about this I couldn't help but post it twice.
August 24th, 2012 at 10:07 AM ^
Montgomery will replace GMatt when he's ready to retire
August 24th, 2012 at 3:36 PM ^
If anyone on this staff is going to replace Mattison, I would put my money on Mallory.
August 24th, 2012 at 10:11 AM ^
I now refer to him as Henri, the otter of Eunoia. His vicissitude since 2008 has been nothing short of remarkable. Life is good.
August 24th, 2012 at 4:26 PM ^
He seems like a non-bullshit guy, and knows what he is talking about. His answer do not seemed so scripted.
