Uh, guys. We are going to win the national championship this season. I hate to tell everyone out there, but they are simply playing for 2nd place. AND yes, I've only said that 100 times since March. Save up for Dallas, because the Michigan football team and band are going.

As an occasional victim of MGoBlog “negification,” I can empathize with your plight.

I’m very old, but as I’ve wandered through the valley of the shadow of MGoBlog’s banners, gradually I’ve discovered that there are certain subjects such as politics, religion, ethnicity, race relations, gender discrimination, sexual relations, sexual preferences, personal attacks on others and their friends and family, wishing someone ill (even when prefaced by a caveat), assaults on moderators and, especially in my case, writing in verse, that probably are taboo and are verboten.

I often wish that I'd never touched this button

I did have a dream last night that I missed the opening game and checked the boxscore only  to see that Michigan won 76-34, with all three running backs rushing for over 1,000 yards in the game (and as a typical Michigan fan I was upset that they let up 34 points).  Let's hope that dream comes to fruition.

Maybe the reports are wrong. But from what's been reported, the hardship involves his mother not being able to fly due to some sort of ear surgery. Not sure this will qualify as bona fide hardship -- especially since Ty didn't transfer to a school within 100 miles of Joliet.

are you seriously questioning the legitimacy of a parent's desire to their son play football? sure, many parents live far away from where their students and never see them play (and they are medically able to fly). that's their choice. but to be unable to do so because of a medical condition is entirely different. She isn't driving to California for a game. If the physician that cares for her deems her unable to fly, who are you to say otherwise?

Isaac can get the waiver because it is compatible with the 'spirit of the law'. It doesn't need to meet the 100-mile requirement because the NCAA has historically decided matters on a case by case basis.

Because hardship means real hardship, ie: a player with a relative who's in bad shape, physically or financially. Usually the waiver is so the player can go home to help out, be supportive. I'm just not sure having a parent who can't fly to games due to a bad ear will qualify as significant hardship. Also, how many players have parents who fly cross-country to their games? Most definitely do not.

the NCAA tends to decide things on a case by case basis, and I could see them sympathizing with a mother and a desire to attend a game to see her son play.  Exhibit A, in which the NCAA tends to decide things on a case by case basis, and has worked out in our favor, Devin's medical  -

people on Rivals saying he won't get it, I believe the NCAA could grant it, if they wanted to (because they can)

when will we know, either way?

The NCAA kills me. Makes a non paid student athlete sit out a year on a transfer AFTER they have to appeal to the school to be released- with restrictions.



They should make Coaches have to sit out a year too when they jump shop.



Enough pontificating, now, if we could only get some O lineman to transfer to block for all these stud backs...

I don't want to come off as Fred Jackson here, because I'm in no way implying that these 2 are even close to their level... But I know another big, relatively fast back that runs upright, his name is TJ Yeldon... With Nuss in two and if he can squeeze the potential out of our highly touted OLine... Couldn't Green and Isaac effectively become Lacy/Yeldon lite??? Wishful thinking sure, but not impossible.
