I disagree.  The RB's did not put up stats like that under RR.  I think you can put it on a good, veteran OL for how good the RB's did in 2011. 

And coaches can do an awful lot in 6 months timeframe....just look at what Mattison did in the same 6 month timeframe.  Molk won the Rimington and Lewan has turned into a future 1st round pick, that didn't happen without coaching.  I'm waiting to judge Funk until these recruits get a couple years in the program.  Watching Kalis' development this season will be telling too.

before it inevitably becomes an issue, personal stuff on players is going to get that poster banned. Talk about their play all you want, how they messed up all you want, but we're not having personal attacks on players posted on MGoBoard.

But that's what happens when you have to actively look for it. Still, I don't think it's all that common here, but it was looking like there might be a few people too close to the ledge in the game threads so I thought a reminder/warning might head off some really crazy talk.

I think it's more common with the basketball team, but I hate it enough that I'd rather be annoying and say something unnecessary if I think it has any chance to help stop it.

I made the mistake of wandering over to mlive. Lets just say in a quick glance at the comments section I encountered all the best of the lowest common denominators in society....from the we need a high iq white qb meme, to the hoke is fat so players don't respect him. This blog does quite well relative to what you can see in other parts of the internets.

3-0 is a helluva lot better than 2-1 and a loss to Akron.  I'm going to leave it at that for the weekend.  Props to Terry Bowden for a good, great, gameplan and coming up to the Big House to battle a team that's supposed to be superior in every facet of the game.  Go Blue.  Have a good weekend guys.

If we would have lost, Hoke would have been on the hot seat.  I still blame him for not having the team ready. I'm concerned for the remainder of the season.  I have to go back now to my original projection of 8-4 after upping it after the ND win. We are not a good football team now and not saying we cannot be a good football team by the end of the season.

And "Snowflakes" after losses...this is as close as a win can feel like a loss.

Embarrassed. Disgusted. Disappointed.

But a win...so go undefeated and let this be a "remember when we won the National Championship in 2013 and almost lost to Akron?" joke 10 years from now.

without those horrible things its over early. I have a feeling this won't stop, just like denard never improved in the pass game devin will make horrible throws.

Starters had to play the whole game. Who would have thought it. 

Just goes to show you just how much emotion plays into the outcome of games.

I never thought I would have felt so deflated after a win.

- Interior O-line sucks

- Can't get pressure w/ 4

- Fitz still bounces

- Gardner still needs to work on decision making

- Secondary wasn't great, but you can't expect them to be when the QB has all day
