BRIAN: insider bits(!)

When I saw this post, I had to do a double-take to make sure it wasn't some joker who had taken Brian's avatar and was posting under a similar-looking name to fool us. 

slightly giddy. 

And Brian is that uncle who keeps looking out the window and saying that he can hear sleigh bells. SRSLY UNCLE BRIAN???!!

Thank God for Brian's signature or I wouldn't have known where to buy HTTV 2010.

Optimism rising after this mgoboard cameo from Brian.

I just hope the multiple fronts are seamless.  Last year I was always confused that teams didn't snap the ball when we did had guys popping up and down and moving around on the line to realign strength with strength.  I was always taunt when you see that on offense you just snap the maul, the guard mauls the DT that popped up since he has instant leverage (can't play low when you're standing up) and the RB slams through that gap.  Pretty much 5+ yards every time.  We did it so often and I was confused as to why opposing coaches weren't prepping their offensives to exploit it.  

Regarding Gardner, Bellomy, I've been hearing the same things for what it is worth.  I've heard Bellomy advanced as a Shane Morris like substance.  Bellomy lacks the arm strength of Morris, but supposedly is similiar in his ability to make reads and other things scouts love about Morris.  What people have told me is that the staff is hoping Gardner ends up loving WR and the fact he is instantly dominate at it.  So he'll be happy there as a future 1st round NFL pick.  That way Bellomy rolls on in next year and the offensive overhaul happens.  Morris likely passes him on the depth chart and things move forward from there.  Basically a nice no drama personal adjustment where everyone wins.  

"Borges won't overhaul the offense until Denard is gone, and after that it does sound like a highly multiple offense with tight ends all over and formations switching willy-nilly. "

I give the Al Borges a lot of credit for taking the OC job and inheriting a QB who was electric but not in his personal wheelhouse as offenses go and building one that combines his tendencies with the power of Dilithium and made it work very well overall. Michigan is recruiting to better suit what they would like to do long term, but the compliment paid to Denard by an incoming staff should not be overlooked. 

"The DL is "legit." Campbell is "the real deal." I know, this would be wonderful and is hard to believe, but this is just me playing careful stenographer."

That is awesome to hear. If there is anyone that I would like to see have a great year, it's BWC. He's endured through trials and tribulations of both the program and some that were self-made, but he's taken on a leadership role willingly and that shows how much he has matured in a short span really. 

Oh goddamnit now I want to lay $20 on us after being a downer piece of shit for the last three months.  

Excited to hear about the young WRs making good.  This team needs a deep threat opposite Roundtree, and either would be a welcome addition.

Also, still skeptical about BWC but, man, a good final year out of him would be awesome.

Brian F. Cook fishin for mgopoints... tsk, tsk, tsk.

For failure to use any one of the INSIDERZZZZ tags.

I'm going to miss Denard. :( 

BWC = Rambo.  Murdock = Bama

I can has DL?

than the mega thread covering the MSU Boise game.

Highlight vid reminiscent of McGuffie but with better speed. A playmaker with breakout ability. Great upside. Tremendous cutting abilility Hope he doesn't get hurt.

Oh sweet Jesus... if this is true, I'm going to waste SO much money drinking celebratory beers at the bar tomorrow.

So much to look forward to.  Bring on the season!
