Just ask Bryan Wright
He came back with BGSU in 2010 as a grad student and promptly lost by 41 points, 65-21.

Being buddies with one of the linebackers, going out there, and getting absolutely annihilated by the guy. Talk about embarrassing/humbling. He's not in Ann Arbor anymore, so to speak.

I took it the opposite way.

I took it the opposite way. I think it's great that he has a chance to actually get some playing time (which he wasn't going to get here), play against his old friends and show them what he's capable of and actually do all of this in the big house. I actually hope he gets a few yards against us. TD's not so much.
I used to play senior hockey, quit for a year, and then came back to another team. I used to love playing against them. There was always quite a bit of fun spirited trash talking when we were on the ice.

Bryan Wright and Johnny Sears
Bryan Wright and Johnny Sears
I remember Bryan Wright (K for BGSU) and Johnny Sears (CB for EMU) doing it. There must have been others. Definitely strange to see former Wolverines go up against the team.
EDIT: I forgot Mr. Plow, so there's another.

Brian was wrong; Mike Cox will probably still get one more huge run in the Big House during a MAC-level beatdown.

Why on earth would you
Why on earth would you
Why on earth would you presume he can even start at umass?? He doesn't get the fact that one must run the ball to gain yards, not move laterally every time for an inevitable big negative loss. One or two big runs during mop up time does not make a RB in the BIG.

What are you talking about?
What are you talking about?
What are you talking about? He gained yards every time he touched the ball.
Besides, the only guy who had significant yardage last year was a fifth year senior, who is on his way out the door. Nobody else had even 200 yards rushing. So the opportunity is there.
March 16th, 2012 at 5:35 PM |
I'm pretty sure he ran, you don't see RBs walk too often.
I'm pretty sure he ran, you don't see RBs walk too often.
And if he ran laterally, he wouldn't have lost any yards. He'd be moving directly to the left or right. The only way he could have lost yards if he moved backwards in any direction.
Yep, that's Simba made out of a pineapple.

A slight side note: There is a long thread
A slight side note: There is a long thread
over at RCMB regarding Hoke running off players and opening spots so we can oversign. The lone M poster trying to use logic and reason (His first mistake) keeps getting rolled over. I am not sure how you can rate someone a troll over there when 95% of that board are trolls.
(And yes I KNOW I am asking for it going over there,,,,but it was in my history so it was the fastest way to the ND board to see their feelings after the Tee Shepard defection. Answer btw is 50% want Neal to play CB since they are "loaded" at WR.)

9/15 game against Michigan. Doesn't that challenge the idea that a 4 year graduate is a " Michigan Man"?
He could have transferred to 20 other schools but chose a place where he plays his alma mater. Too Justin Boren-esque for me.

He's from the area of UMass. There aren't many places he could transfer in that area and still play FBS ball. Most kids transfer to closer to home (NJ's Brandon Smith to Temple, OH's Boren to Ohio State, OH's Bryan Wright to Bowling Green, OH's Mixon to Kent State, etc.). His other options would be, what? Boston College? UConn?
I think you're creating drama where there doesn't need to be.

Maybe he thinks he can show
Maybe he thinks he can show the coaches what they missed out on. Plus if he thinks he can get a shot at the NFL, doing well against Michigan, the team he transfered from, would be a big deal. He spent 4 years at Michigan, never got serious playing time, and will get his degree. I have no problem with him transferring to a team Michigan plays as long as it's not a rival.
March 16th, 2012 at 5:14 PM |
Hardly Boren-esque.

UMass is no Ohio State. And football aside, Cox is now a graduate of the University of Michigan. An alumnus like many of us here at Mgoblog. Is there even any evidence that Boren ever passed a class in Ann Arbor?

What sucks about this is we're scheduling teams that are happy to take one-year options on guys that just aren't seeing the field for us. I have no problem with Mike Cox seeking greener pastures and I wish him luck.
This does, however, point again to the lack of respect D. Brandon has for his patsies er...his home fans...and the quality of game for which we spend our money.
We're gonna play with toughness, we're gonna be responsible and we're gonna play with toughness. This is Michigan.

The issue isn't whether he was wrong for disliking Rodriguez, the issue is whether he was wrong for expressing his feelings in a semi-public forum (especially in such a childish and vulgar manner).
Also, a dude named "Cox" is the last person who should be making penis jokes about other people's names.
Good luck to him.
