OT Season: "If You Could..."

1. Rashan Gary. 2. Ohio state 3. Dantony 4. DPJ 5. Harbaugh 6. Denard's first snap 7. Yes, unless on my face 8. I don't really get this question. Wouldnit effect the past ? 9. More night games 10. A. Schedule more night games. B. Schedule 3 winnable OOC every year for 5 years. C. Spend even more money on assistant coaches.

1. Saquon Barkley

2. Ohio St. (duh)

3. Mork

4. Tarik Black

5. Dave Brandon so I could shove a fork in his neck.

6. So many but I would choose either Penn St in 05 or vs Notre Dame in UTL 1 

7. Yes

8. Don't know

9. Nothing. It's perfect.

10. Play golf, eat a sandwich, and schedule more night games.

1. Rashan Gary or Mo Hurst

2. The nut loving tree worshipers (buckeyes)

3. Meyer

4. Tarik Black

5. JMFH

6. Howard punt return vs. the tree worshipers.

7. Yes, right on my ass cheek because that emblem can kiss my ass!

8. Rashan

9. Box seats all the way around. That stadium would be so bad ass!

10. That's above my pay grade.

1. Either Jamarco Jones or Sean Welsh (Iowa) to play T. I think I would prefer Jones, who has experience at LT, which would allow Cole to play RT. This would probably have Cole going up against fewer high-caliber edge rushers. Welsh would play RT and keep Cole at LT. This answer probably becomes a CB (Rashard Fant?) if we get Sunny Odugwu.

 

2. Ohio State (I'll be there)

 

3. Urban (did yall ever hear those Urban cheating rumors? I've heard both that he was sleeping with a 23yo intern and that his wife was sleeping with a Florida quarterback. Whoa, if true.)

 

4. If you are talking among Michigan freshman? DPJ. If you are talking all B1G freshman? Still probably DPJ, maybe Jeffrey Okudah at OSU.

 

5. Harbaugh for sure. Guaranteed a fat steak and good stories. Brady if Jim cancels.

 

6. Roundtree catch to beat ND? Whatever the moment the crowd was loudest at in the first UTL game (though this would give that person a weird idea of football uniforms).

 

7. With 0 hesitation. Tattoo goes away in a year? Plus, you didn't specify where this tattoo was located? I'd get it on my left butt cheek and re-up every year. If I'm the only person that will see it I'll gladly take a win over OSU every year for a big block 'O'.

 

8. This one's tough. Lavert Hill? Our recruiting classes the last two years have been so good that I'm really not worried about any position where the starter this year would stay another year if they could. Mo Hurst is going pro after this season, even if he could stay another year. Vilain will take over Winovich's spot. Kemp redshirted so he will have two years after Gary goes pro in 2019. I guess we'll go with Hill here. Keep Hill and Long with as much eligibility as possible.

 

9. I'd eventually like the Box Structure and Ediface to go all the way around the stadium. I'm not sure what I would do with it though. It could be a second deck of covered seats? It could be a giant walk way connecting the two boxes, complete with memorabilia (a little like the Towsley museum), or maybe with concessions that are accessible via steps from the top row? More suites (probably not)? Not sure but I'd love for the big brick structure to enclose the whole thing. It would look awesome and kick the sound up another notch. 

 

10. I would start fundraising and planning for #9, I would try to maximize opponent intrigue & win probability for open dates on future football schedules (solid programs we could possibly get to agree to a one-off in Ann Arbor...i.e. West Virginia? Boise? Missouri?), I would start thinking about Jim's extension.

1. Toss up Ndamukong Suh or Charles Woodson. Or if it's a current player Jamarco Jones. 2 MSU. I love night games and want to see a beat down. 3. Mork 4. Tarik Black 5. Brady and he is bringing Giselle. 6. Anthony Carter's game winner vs Indiana. 7. Yes 8. Newsome last year so he did not hurt his knee from the bench. 9. My entire section would get moved to the 50. We have a fun section that knows football....& more urinals 10. Work to fire Delaney. Work to fire Emmert. Challenge David Brandon to a cage fight for Chad tough

Too many questions for me.

 #5 - Woodson, Brady and Harbaugh with a bottle of Twenty-four wine (milk for JH, though).

 #6 - Woodson's one-handed interception against MSU;

#7 - yes. I would have the tattoo on the sole of my foot so I could walk all over OSU for an entire year.

EDIT: wow is this long. Cut a couple of questions out just because of length.

IF YOU COULD..."clone" one B1G player and add him to 2017 Michigan football, who would it be? (I say "clone" because too many people take players to hurt a team more than help Michigan - and that's not the point)

Whichever OL is taken first in draftgeddon. Not that I'll ever know who that is, since, you know...

IF YOU COULD...hit Urban Meyer or Mark D'antono in the nuts with a football (as hard as you could), who would you choose?

I'm not inclined to do that sort of thing. But, if I were presented with both of them, I might make a show of pretending to labor over a decision between the two, forcing them to wait nervously while Jim Harbaugh goes and steals their recruits.

IF YOU COULD...have dinner with Woodson, Brady, Harbaugh, Rich Rod or Dave Brandon...who would you pick?

It would be awesome to eat with either Woodson or Brady. But, c'mon, the answer is Harbaugh and it's not close. The dinner conversation, the memories, the one weird thing he would be guaranteed to do...

And, since I'm a milk drinker, we could spend the evening after dinner tossing back glasses of milk, eating fish sticks, and talking football or something.

IF YOU COULD...redshirt one player on the current roster who wasn't redshirted - who would it be?

As stated above, this question is unclear. You mean a retroactive redshirt, so there is an extra year of eligibility, or redshirting a guy this season to save him for 2018?

If the former, Mason Cole. If the latter, Karan Higdon.

IF YOU COULD...change ONE thing about Michigan Stadium, what would you change?

Nothing. It's perfect, even if too far away. But I would open it to the public again.

IF YOU COULD...be Donald R. Shepherd Director of Athletics for a day, what are 3 things you'd do?

1. I would locate and publish all relevant film of the Molly Game.

2. Take a long lunch with Harbaugh and Mel Pearson, and have the department comp the meal.

3. Open a permanent comp tickets account I can use for any sport home or road, as often as I would like. Oh, and as a bonus, I would schedule a regular matchup with UMD, Michigan visiting every other year. Cause, obvs.

We're hiring a new person who was born with a good hoist

1. Ron Dayne

2. Ohio State

3. It's spelled Dantonio, and that's my pick.

4. DPJ

5. Woodson, because the wine

6. Anthony Carter, Indiana, 1979

7. Nope

8. No clue

9. No more RAWK

10. See #9, reopen the stadium on weekdays, take down Dave Brandon's stupid video board.

1. Sean Welsh, OL, Iowa. 2. State school, worst state evah. 3. Meyer, even with a pizza box in the way. Because I would use a jackhammer on those dainties. 4. Donovan Peoples-Jones. 5. Harbaugh. Because Harbaugh, plus the Crackerbarrel meal would be both filling and cheap. 6. Biakabutuka's 313 yards versus OSU counts as a single play. So yeah. Amazing performance. 7. No way that sh!t will ever be on my body. I actually lived in Marion Ohio for nearly a year. No, not ever. Not even for the team. 8. Corey Malone-Hatcher, kid's from my neck of the woods and might benefit from seasoning, otherwise I worry about him. 9. Make it seat 200k with decent views. We can grow full attendance with our back-to-back national championships. 10. Grant all athletes free tuition through a doctorate for life. Add ivey and trees to the the walls of the athletic facilities. Add mens rugby to varsity sport, we were almost there tail end of the 80's when our parent team was ranked #2 in the country and then Title IX supravened. Mens rugby is an excellent sport for our school to make varsity.

If you could... Read my mind, love, what a tale my thoughts would tell.

The B1G Championship Game in a rematch with Wisconsin

I've got answers:

 

1.  IF YOU COULD..."clone" one B1G player and add him to 2017 Michigan football, who would it be? (I say "clone" because too many people take players to hurt a team more than help Michigan - and that's not the point) - Billy Price, OSU

2. IF YOU COULD...only attend one game this year, which would it be?  The Game.

3. IF YOU COULD...hit Urban Meyer or Mark D'antono in the nuts with a football (as hard as you could), who would you choose? This one's easy - Meyer.  Dantonio is already all up in Meyer's nuts, so you could get a two-for-one (nut shot on Meyer and unavoidable headshot on Dantonio) and with a good arm maybe castrate Meyer.

4. IF YOU COULD...pick ONE (true) freshman and bet $1,000 to be 1st team All-B1G this year, who would you feel most confident about?  Donovan Peoples-Jones.

5. IF YOU COULD...have dinner with Woodson, Brady, Harbaugh, Rich Rod or Dave Brandon...who would you pick?  Harbaugh.  (Second place is Woodson, third Rich Rod, fourth is Brady.)

6. IF YOU COULD...take one play from Michigan Stadium to share with someone who's never seen American football - which play would you take?  Take That!!

7. IF YOU COULD...guarantee a victory over OSU in exchange for an OSU logo tattooed on you for a year...would you do it?  Sure - it would have to be on my ass, but sure.

8. IF YOU COULD...redshirt one player on the current roster who wasn't redshirted - who would it be? Eddie McDooooooooooooooom!

9. IF YOU COULD...change ONE thing about Michigan Stadium, what would you change?  Find out Section 1's real name, and name the suites after him - prominently.

10. IF YOU COULD...be Donald R. Shepherd Director of Athletics for a day, what are 3 things you'd do?  Name the softball field for Hutch.  Name the rink at Yost "Berenson rink".  Work to send kids in nonrevenue sports on trips like the football trip to Rome through donor contributions.

1.  Saquon Barkley

2.  MSU home game

3.  Mark.  Because he's been such an insufferable douche.

4.  Donovan Peoples-Jones

5.  Woodson.  He seems more relatable.

6.  The Catch:  Michigan-Notre Dame 1991, Desmond Howard

7.  No.  We'll start winning our share soon.  I don't need a tattoo for that.

8.  None

9.  How can you improve on perfection?  If anything, I wish it was louder.

10.  Pass.  I don't really know enough about his job to know what I would want to do with it.

1. Saquon
2. Sparty (to witness the gore)
3. Mork
4. Tarik Black
5. Tom Brady
6. Desmond punt return/heisman pose vs OSU
7. No
8. Lavert Hill
9. Nothing
10. my head hurts idk

1.  Jamarco Jones, LT for OSU.  We could use a 1st team all-B1G left tackle.

2.  The Game obviously.

3.  Dantonio just because of all the shit talking over the last 10 years.  At least Meyer can win with a tad bit of class.

4.  DPJ

5.  Harbaugh.  He has the most interesting mind of all of those IMO.

6.  Woodson's punt return in 97 to seal the win against OSU.

7.  No, cuz tattoos last more than a year

8.  Mason Cole.  I'd love for him to have been RS and get another year out of him.

9.  That I'd have free lifetime season tix behind M's bench a few rows up so I can still see the field well.

10. Get a good soccer coach, get a good lacrosse coach, convince Hackett to come back forever.

1. Jemarco Jones (OSU) OT - Having the LT spot locked up by someone other than Cole is something I'd wish for.

2. MSU @ Michigan - I plan on being in Texas for the opening game, but that would have been my other choice.

3. Mark, not even close for me.

4. Tarik Black. Prior to spring camp my money would have been on DPJ, but after the reports that have rolled in I think Black could be a real weapon on the outside this year.

5. Woodson all day (night). I idolized him growing up and got to meeting him for about 5 minutes a few years back. Will never forget the breif interation and how genuine he seemed, but would love to spend some extended time with him.

6. Painfully, I would go with the muffed punt snap against MSU. As much as that play hurts and still stings, I think it encompasses every emotion in football in a 30 second timeframe.

7. I get to choose the location? Would probably do it since I already have tattoos and it would be easy to cover.

8. Tyree Kinnel. He got valuble playing time on ST's his freshman year and spent some time making an impact last year. Either way we would be inexperienced in the secondary this year, so I think having an extra year on the backend of his career could of helped.

9. I would add a few more inches between those numbers on the benches. As much as I love sitting so close to other fans, there are times in the fall when people in my section need a halftime shower.

10. Too early in the morning to rack my brain around this one.

... because it's the only answer I have that might be somewhat interesting:

IF YOU COULD...change ONE thing about Michigan Stadium, what would you change?

Answer: I would either build additional seats above the top ring somehow slanted inward or add some architecture in a simliar way to reflect more of the crowd noise back onto the field.  Michigan Stadium's recent additions have helped some, but much of the noise still escapes our stadium as compared to other stadiums.  I'd love to see our 100k+ home field advantage pressed to the max with an acoustic design that just floods the field with noise when the stadium gets loud.  Opponent audibles would become impossible.

Goota choose Urban for the shot in the crotch, because it gives me a good chance of hitting Dantonio in the face on the same throw.

that I thought this thread was about.  If you could suck your own dick, would you?

1. Bosa 2. OSU 3. Dantonio 4. Tarik Black 5. Charles Woodson 6. Roundtree's catch in the ND game. 7. Yes, but not where it could be seen. 8. None. 9. Nothing. 10. Renegotiate home games with ND Survey the students to increase their interest in football Hire Coach Cal for basketball after JB retires.
