Hey Brandon- These guys played for Bo too
Interesting but not surprising to see the former players take on this. Rob Lytle was real adamant about what Bo would think of moving The Game:
And what does Lytle think Schembechler would say?
"He would have hated this," Lytle said. "I'm glad he and Woody don't have to go through it. They're probably sitting up there just shaking their heads or tearing down-markers and stomping on the field. They're probably marching around throwing tantrums right now."
Seems the only person wishy washy on this in the article is John Cooper. Nuff said

Personally, I think Denard Robinson is going to get the first snap, but tate will still take about 45% of snaps.
August 29th, 2010 at 4:29 PM ^
Thanks, not really on topic for the thread, but thanks.
August 29th, 2010 at 4:37 PM ^
You're welcome, I mean there are non-stop posts about this topic, so I figure I'd switch it up to something new.
I think people are blowing this up. Perhaps I'm naive, but I have a feeling it will all work out. At this point I don't care when the game happens, as long as Michigan wins.

Winning in October won't mean the same as ruining an Ohio State team on the brink of a championship or capping a championship season by besting that final, looming challenge ourselves. Don't give up, they're clearly feeling the fan pressure.
August 29th, 2010 at 5:11 PM ^
Hold on, let me get this straight... You are sick of the non-stop posts on moving The Game, so you wanted to switch the talk to who starts and takes what % of snaps in the Uconn game?
Wow, the irony is absolutely killing me right now.
And you would be in the minority if you don't care when the game is. Just so you are aware.

I think there was some sarcasm in his post. He didn't pick what he talked about just for some random reason...
August 30th, 2010 at 12:26 AM ^
I care but i care more about plain old beating them. If beating them 20 years in a row killed the rivalry, Id support it. I think people confuse perception of a rivalry with the actual rivalry itself. Not only did ruining a season lead to the hatred, but there is a whole cultural element to this rivalry that wont die. I don't think the game will be moved to October, it will likely stay in November. Maybe i'm being too naive, but i think everyone knows it makes no sense to move it anywhere else.

No, I heard (from a reliable inside source) that Rich Rod is going to use the Fibonacci sequence to determine how playing time is split up amongst qbs. It will turn out that the quarterback to start the Ohio State game will secretly be a descendant of Jesus, and all this moving the game talk is a desperate ploy to keep the dark Illuminati plot under wraps.
August 29th, 2010 at 4:52 PM ^
so that rules out Tate?
August 29th, 2010 at 5:31 PM ^
Tate is white Jesus.
August 29th, 2010 at 8:11 PM ^
Where's our Jewish, middle-eastern QB? Well I guess they could be a mixed ethnicity since there have been quite a few generations since Jesus. Also it doesn't mean that the descendant is following the same religion either. Counterarguments be damned!
August 29th, 2010 at 9:00 PM ^
How many games do you think Michigan needs to win for Rodriguez to keep his job? I say seven, or six if one of those is Ohio State.
August 29th, 2010 at 4:23 PM ^
I think the show bouncing bears should be back on the air!!!

my bad. Sorry, didnt see that post
August 29th, 2010 at 4:43 PM ^
HA!!! Cooper would be for moving the game.
August 29th, 2010 at 4:53 PM ^
If only because he couldn't move the game completely off the schedule when he was coaching...
August 29th, 2010 at 6:46 PM ^
Just like they all said on there "I guess Cooper still doesn't get the rivalry."
August 29th, 2010 at 5:33 PM ^
I'd rather not think about how Bo would handle this. He would be more heartbroken and angry than all of us combined.
He'd be even more angry if he saw the loss to App. State, our first losing season in 40 years and the way our defense has looked the last 2 seasons.
2010 Michigan Wolverines, please make me forget about these recent instances.
August 29th, 2010 at 7:01 PM ^
...Bo would have gotten himself fired after the Horror. The kind of coaching Bo would have done is no longer allowed, at least not in the age of cell phones and youtube.
But it would have been hilarious to see the locker room after the game a Bo team had ever lost to the likes of Appy State.
August 29th, 2010 at 6:15 PM ^
...already acknowledged that Bo would hate this just as he hated the addition of PSU, so pointing that out to him again is not likely to change his mind.
August 29th, 2010 at 6:26 PM ^
Need to bring back the Nasty to M's defense, seeing old clips from M's great D's, they were just Nasty and had attitude. Moellers/McCartney's (sp?) monsters as Ufer used to call them, when opposing offenses felt the PAIN, and none of this bend don't break crap. It's all about bending and breaking the opposing QB, that's what is is supposed to be about. Did I just end a sentence with a preposition? Oh well, I'm a rebel, that's what I am!! Oh, and GO BLUE!!!
August 29th, 2010 at 6:43 PM ^
We need more Lamarr Woodleys, Sean Crables, Terrance Taylors, Marlin Jacksons in the next few years.
August 29th, 2010 at 6:57 PM ^
Exactly, of those you listed, Lamarr Woodley was my favorite, keeping my fingers crossed that the Barwis regimen starts to pay off!!
August 29th, 2010 at 8:20 PM ^
With some of the great players and units M has had on defense, there were years where I enjoyed watching the D more than the O.
