Does having Mattison give us a leg up on Meyer
Seeing how Mattison was on Urban" Liar's" staff at Florida, and Mattison is freaking awesome. Does this give us a leg up on Meyer in game planning? Does Mattison have an inside look at how Urban will game plan? I think he will give us a leg up on Meyer and what Meyer will try to do with his offense. Any good team asks the DC how they would try to stop their own offense and I am sure Mattison has an in depth look at how Meyer will run his O and how to try to stop it.

how many weeks to bama week?
January 25th, 2012 at 9:37 PM ^
We're doing this during active recruiting still. Imagine what this place gets like post NSD.
January 25th, 2012 at 10:04 PM ^
This school does compete in sports other than football.
January 25th, 2012 at 10:20 PM ^
I thought that was just an urban myth passed around to get peoples' minds off football the rest of the season.

I don't even want to think about what things will be like once hockey and basketball finish up (groan).
January 25th, 2012 at 11:03 PM ^
Days until Michigan beats the defending national champs in Dallas
January 25th, 2012 at 9:33 PM ^
We'll find out on November 24th, won't we?
January 25th, 2012 at 9:53 PM ^
Well if we know his plan and he knows our plan will he do what he thinks we'll do or will we do what we'll thinks we want him to do.. Or maybe we dont do anything and he does.. Or.. Or.. Or.. Who gives a shit.. Hoke Is the unaccounted variable baby!

BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIPS???
January 25th, 2012 at 9:34 PM ^
You win the best thread of the night award. GET OUT.
January 25th, 2012 at 9:36 PM ^
will put more girls in the bed for recruits. If Meyer puts two in perhaps we'll use three. Should give us more than a leg up.
January 25th, 2012 at 9:40 PM ^
Yes if my math is correct, that would give us six legs up.
January 25th, 2012 at 10:03 PM ^
Where do I sign up?
January 25th, 2012 at 9:37 PM ^
Can we get a ban on using nicknames like Urban "Liar". It's about as clever as saying "cHoke" or "scUM" and I like to think we as Michigan fans better than that. To the content of your question, I would say Mattison only helps as much as having a good DC helps when facing a good offense. Very good offensive minds(like Borges or He who shall not be named in Tucson) constantly tinker with things and I bet Urban's 2012 offense with Ohio looks different enough from 07 Florida with Tebow that any minimial edge Mattison might give us with familiartiy is negated.
All that being said, Mattison is still awesome, we have Denard and it's time for us to beat the Buckeyes in Columbus and get a winning streak going.
January 25th, 2012 at 9:40 PM ^
Strongly second this notion, with the exceptions of referring to MSU as "Sparty" and OSU as "Ohio"
January 25th, 2012 at 10:13 PM ^
There used to be a rule that a certain nickname starting with the first syllable of Spartan and ending with the second syllable of Christina would earn a banhammer for n00bz and a vacation to Bolivia for established users. I can't find the documentation, but it may have passed into unspoken status at this point.
January 25th, 2012 at 9:59 PM ^
We know, down deep the other schools know, but when it's mentioned on forums like this the other schools use it as fuel to neg us. Oh well. Screw them. Lol
January 26th, 2012 at 1:49 AM ^
Stop saying lol. Your name is Phil so I assume you're not a teenaged girl.

<br>That's my bit 'o snark for the day.

Can we use "Oscar" as a nickname for Meyer? I think that would serve a few purposes. It could be turned into a derogatory term such as "Man, that new Oregon uniform is so ugly, it's Oscar!" or "Oscar you, man!" This, I think, is the only acceptable nickname for that coach in Ohio...or maybe not.
January 26th, 2012 at 3:27 AM ^
"Oscar" is the navy's term for "man overboard"....
/Not sure this has anything to do with anything
January 25th, 2012 at 10:45 PM ^
I agree completely. "Ohio" and "Sparty" are fine, but obnoxious stuff like Urban "Liar," "Suckeyes," or "Dumbtonio" is no better than "scUM," "cHoke," or "Joke." We shouldn't sink to their level.
January 25th, 2012 at 11:10 PM ^
I'd say that Ohio and Sparty are more than fine, since one has a marching band spell out "Ohio" and the other named their mascot "Sparty". Those names are endorsed by their respective institutions.
Agree that Urban Liar, Douchetonio, DickRod, Brady Joke, Spartina, ect, ect, ect. are all signs of weak intelligence and need to be dealt a supersonic ticket to Bolivia.
January 25th, 2012 at 11:29 PM ^
Urban Meyer=>scUM.
January 26th, 2012 at 2:04 AM ^
Urban Liar is sounds sophomoric but it is rooted in truth. The guy flat-out lied to recruits about the sanctions, Kiffin-style.
January 25th, 2012 at 9:40 PM ^
I just cant get enough threads were Urban "Liar" is mentioned. Cause he's a big fat LIAR and we, the unbiased, impartial members of the Mgomafia, have outed his lying ass.
Cause he's a big fat stinky liar. And his pants are definitely on fire he's such a big,big liar.
Good lord we sound like petulant 3rd graders tattling on another kid at recess. Teacher...TEACHER...Urban took my recruit again. And he LIED teacher....he did. He sure did.....cause he's a liar.
January 25th, 2012 at 9:43 PM ^
most excellent
January 25th, 2012 at 9:44 PM ^
hahaha
January 25th, 2012 at 9:49 PM ^
January 25th, 2012 at 9:44 PM ^
Negged for Urban Liar.
January 25th, 2012 at 9:46 PM ^
Little Trollish. Just tryin to have some fun at Urban's expense.
January 25th, 2012 at 10:00 PM ^
At 178 mgopoints, you should theoretically know the "lay of the land" here enough to figure out what is going on. You are actually quite fortunate. Posters have been negged a lot more than five points. One even got a million negative points (or was it "only" 100,000) from the mods for a Sparty reference that has been deemed unhealthy and non-kosher.
Anyway, consider your five point negging to be one of the least-expensive lessons you have ever learned. Your execution was terrible, but your premise has some merit. Mattison certainly helped inferior Notre Dame teams beat Michigan once or twice while he was there.
We'll just have to see if Mattison is any better than anyone else who has run the defense at Michigan when it comes to stopping the spread when it is executed by a team with very good personnel. I hope it works out that way.
January 25th, 2012 at 9:47 PM ^
Urban Liar. HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA. Whew. Seriously that is lame.
January 25th, 2012 at 9:49 PM ^
Wouldn't that work both ways, with Meyer knowing how Mattison game plans and countering Mattisons' plan to stop Meyer's plan?
January 26th, 2012 at 12:43 AM ^
He only ever listened to Jesus and Greg Mattison.
January 25th, 2012 at 9:52 PM ^
Urban Liar? But I thought his name was Urb... OHHHHHH I see what you did there! Clever!
January 25th, 2012 at 9:58 PM ^
hit the wall with it repeatedly. Until you pass out would be the best. Thanks.
January 25th, 2012 at 10:02 PM ^
no? And in answer to your question, maybe one play in seven.
January 25th, 2012 at 10:03 PM ^
I've always enjoyed the nickname suburban kroger.
January 25th, 2012 at 10:24 PM ^
I like Rural Kroger better myself
January 25th, 2012 at 10:04 PM ^
Not really. We all know, from reading message boards, that Meyer did absolutely nothing at Florida. Mattison ran the defense and recruited ever single player to Florida and Dan Mullen ran the offense. Meyer was just a figurehead with minimal impact on his programs.
January 25th, 2012 at 10:08 PM ^
The OP thanks you for falling on the douche sword Mason Bilderberg, as you are so often apt to do...
January 25th, 2012 at 10:05 PM ^
Are you familiar with the term "vice versa?" If not, utilize Google or Wikipedia, and consider your mind pre-blown by what has clearly, unfathomably remained a foreign concept to you for such a lengthy period of time ( i.e., your entire life).
