Since the word coming out of fall camp was that he was the clear cut #1 back, I am thinking he may be the Slaton to Denard's Pat White.  Thus the ensuing straw(Fitz) landing on opposing teams defenses backs(Camels) and rendereing it helpless.

I don't have a lot of points, but that doesn't mean that myself, and others with low totals don't know what they are talking about. I've been reading this site since every day for four years. So what that I don't post often? Just because you have 400,000 posts doesn't make you any more welcome here, or any smarter about college football.

Please quit generalizing.

It's not for replying to comments (how would you get points to begin with?); it's to keep people from starting new threads like this one. Hopefully after posting 100 or so times, they would have a better understanding of how the board works, rather than just posting whatever thought pops into their head.

Exactly.

In the time that I read this post, the following thoughts popped into my head:

"I really like Michigan football."

"Denard is very fast."

"Why hasn't Brian posted the offensive UFR yet?  I can't wait forever to have my lunch.  I am getting hungry."

"Is 12-0 possible?  Probably not, but who knows.  Man that would be cool."

"I would like to get some M&Ms from the snack machine, but I don't really feel like getting up and going all the way down the hall."

"I really like Michigan football."

Notice how I didn't start a thread about any of these things?

Post away, your point total will change accordingly. Why is it that everyone has to immediately presume some injury every time something does not agree with them. I'd support an increase in the points as well, but I think 1000 might be about right.

I mean I hate to be that guy but, honestly does this contribute in ANY way to the board?

There are no links to anything.

There is just pure speculation.

You don't even give your own opinion.

Sorry but if you want to post your own thread, try to mimic the others on here who know what they're doing. You've only been a member for 3 weeks, and I understand your best idea of a thread is the shit that's already on the board, but really, reeeaallly look around, particularly in the diaries to see what is appropriate.

I don't mean to be a dick either, but damn, I swear this board is starting to make me question why I come here every 10 minutes...

Before I stopped watching it, the "experts" on ESPNU kept saying that Robinson is Batman, but still needs to find his Robin.  Hopefully this will be Fitz so they can stop using that idiotic analogy.

But if Fitz turns out to be his Robin, wouldn't they just talk about how UM has a Batman and a Robin? I guess I'm saying you can't hope to stop the idiocy of sports "journalists;" you can only hope it doesn't drive you to eat a muzzle.

Toussaint's High School Coach: He can catch, he can run, he has got speed. They believe that he has the right characteristics to fit that style of offense. I would say he is similar to the Noel Devine kid that Rich had down at West Virginia. He’s very very fast, not quite as big, but he can move. I think he ran a 10.58 electronic 100 meters as a sophomore.”

He has great potential, and I am convinced that the more we build him up here without having seen him play one down, the better he will play on the field. True fact.

Fitz will definitely help this offense because he gives the backfield another dimension that we don't currently have.  Fitz is very shifty and is also pretty quick.  He has great vision and that will help him find the developing holes as the play progresses.  I'm really excited to see what he brings to the table, and while UMass isn't a top notch opponent, it should give him the confidence he needs going forward.

Why is it that assholes always have to control the content of the board? This is a blog site for michigan football. People come here to give and hear other peoples thoughts on Michigan football. There are much more important things to be stopped than someone trying to have a conversation.
