Don't get the lemmings excited about this please. Lets all just wait and see what happens. This board is becoming insufferable.
Sorry.
I'm not happy about the state of Michigan Football these days, and my optimism is waning a bit as well. I just hate reading 5000 comments that are all essentially parroting the doom and gloom that seems to permeate this place the last couple years. Not your fault, obviously, I was just saying...
Yeah well I'm tired of pretty much everything going wrong lately football related. We're some other absurd injury away from being exactly like the Rich Rod years.
But were the Rich Rod days the good old days of the program? Deflated tire now!
But compared to last year and where we are headed, I am not sure they weren't.
Michigan just finished two straight seasons of not going to a bowl game, was finally getting all systems up and running and: went 7-6 with all 6 loses by double digets, won three games by double digits (U-Mass, a middle of the pack FCS team, and probably the worst team in FBS the next year, by only 5). Beat ND by 4, lost to MSU by 17 (at home), lost to OSU by 30, then lost by 38 in the bowl game.
Even by 2013 standards, which were low, none of Rich Rod's teams were the good old days compared to Hoke's tenure. That's not to say Hoke has brought Michigan back to the good old days (no one will be Michigan standards), but your post reeks of doom and gloom.
The sunshine blowing before the 2009 season was off the charts. It hurt bad that we could never close out multiple games that season. If we had finished 7-5 that year I think things might have been a lot different.
everyone thought MSU would be mediocre at best and they were bitching about Danonio and the quartback situation. Things can change quikly.
That can't be Coach Hoke. Not once did he say anything about toughness, chemistry, accountability, and of course, youth. Always have to talk about youth.
Ouch.
EVERYBODY PANIC
That Michigan drive the Brink's truck to San Fran and visit Mr. Harbaugh. Things are in a downward spiral faster than a pass from Bellomy.
New president will replace him when 90000 show up for App State
he already makes 5MM/year. Not a huge difference, he likes in SF, and he doesn't have to deal with the unrealistic expectations of this fan base, academic eligiblity, etc.
At least we beat OSU in that.
It's definitely sketchy that's for sure. My friend's uncle is a big booster for OSU and I guess they offered Linsay some BS job at Dave and Busters that pays him $2000 a week to come to OSU.
My friend's uncle told me that's almost certainly not true.
When has an OSU booster ever done anything a little extra to get a recruit?
Seeing as all Dave and Buster's are corporate owned (and not franschised, which would've made it easier to hide some shady business like your scenario), I highly doubt it would be possible for someone to create a BS overpaid job for a student athlete there.
Because I want to remember what it was like to finish a good season off right.
Meh this is not a big deal. One-year stopgap vs. developing experience and cohesiveness among our young OL. It's a wash.
Provided our line actually improves this year. That may be a big leap of faith.
You lost me when you said developing. We've seen a lot of things around here, but development isn't one of them.
What does that say about this staff as a whole...
I'm guessing the calls will change. They've probably already been changed.
But the scheme won't vary too much. I know we don't have a Bama Oline so Nuss will be more pass heavy here.
son of a bitch
Ok brady the seat is getting hot. If we can t make it to a 11 win season and beat most of our rivals this trend will continue
Wow. What a disappointment. Urban Meyer strikes again. We can't seem to catch a break lately...
Try to be the best, but you're only a man and you just can't learn to take it,
Try to believe, now the going gets rough that you just can't hang tough to make it,
History repeats itself: fail and you concede,
Always doubt that you're the one, and forget all of your dreams!
You're the worst! AROUND! Everything's gonna keep you down!
You're the worst! AROUND! Everything's gonna keep you down!
You're the worst! AROUND! Everything's gonna keep you down!
