I expected to see a slideshow.
As soon as I saw the unrelated pictures of the Big House I scrolled back up to see who posted and then I just nodded my head. Yep coulda guessed that one.
I always thought Mone wasn't fully utilized here, and hope we get this kid and he becomes what Mone should have been... a monster...
I digress... another guy that left alot on table with Gedeon. Hoke recruited well but didn't get enough out of them... they ride bench here but then play in NFL.
I still remember Gedeon as a true freshman vs OSU (2013) and making like 3 tackles on their first series and was flying all over the field. All of us were thinking "where did this guy come from?" then unfortunately for two years he was behind good, but lower ceiling players like Bolden and Morgan.
I thought it was bonkers that Bolden was playing over Gedeon. Gedeon should have been on the field. And I think I was proven right. Bolden was a sieve. I'd be screaming at tv at Hoke saying to bench Bolden. Kelly at ND passed on him for good reason. He looked the part but surely didn't play up to it. Gedeon on the other hand was a man child freak. Hoke sure recruited well on defense... not so much on offense.
Not a Hoke apologist, but Chesson and Darboh were probably the best two receivers under Michigan (Nico could have been, but cest la vie). Jake Butt the best TE. Daveon Smith was probably the second best running back thus far (after Higdon). Outside of Ruddock, Speight in 2016 has been the best QB during the Harbuagh regime. Mason Cole and Graham Glasgow would probably be your starting Right Tackle and Left Guard on the "all-Harbaugh era" offensive line.
Kind of depressing to think about really.
Would take Smith over Higdon all day, but don't want to quibble.
I didn't fully realize (not fully aware?) that Speight was the best Harbaugh QB until you wrote it. Man, that is depressing.
Yeah, me neither. You could maybe make the case for 2018 Shea Patterson because of what he did for the running game, but I think the 2016 passing game was better. If Speight could run the RPOs like Patterson did in 2018, we get that first down in Ames, beat Iowa, and at worst tie for Big Ten East that year.
Kind of related, the near misses at key moments is one of the bigger disappointments of the Harbaugh era. The reason I was excited about the hire (and still hold out some hope that he can turn it around) is that he's always fostered a winning culture. For whatever reason though, at Michigan, he made some really bad calls at the worst possible points in the season (e.g., Punting against MSU in 2015, Clock Management in Happy Valley 2019). Had some of those decisions played out differently, I think this could have been an entirely different program.
I think it's been well established that Bolden was a great practice player since he got to go against familiar looks which he could pounce on over and over. That's the danger of guys who look great in practice but don't perform the same in games...
One of the biggest failures of the Hoke regime. Some guys are practice ballers, some are game ballers. Bolden was the former, Gedeon was the latter. It was clear to all of who just watched the games that Gedeon was better and should've been playing.
One of my all time favorite post-play announcements "Tackled by Ben Gedeon".
Mone was poised to be a monster and then broke his leg in fall camp his sophomore season. But I agree, he could have been an Alan Branch type player for us.
There is no relevant content in this post.
Yet you responded.
Yet you drew attention to his response by responding
Yet you prolonged the thread by responding to his riposte to the response
Yeah, that's why he responded.
Bears are funny
Title says it all?
I tried to use small words.
This post is strange
Ponderous, prodigious, nay...voluminous man and house.
Nay, voluptuous!
Wait till he is shirtless, ohh la laaaa!
I knew who posted it based off the terrible, click bait title and confirmed it by seeing a post filled with pointless pictures and no content.
Thing we know will happen will still happen. Here are photos of a person and Michigan Stadium.
A very big man at a very big beautiful house. A player we all hope will get landed.
Feelingsball.
As long as their aren't two doe-eyed infants standing beside you there at the computer going, "Wish Dad invested half as much time on us as he does football. . ." then it's all good.
To paraphrase Sheriff Martin Brody: We're gonna need a bigger house.
I respect the enthusiasm, but it may be a bit much and a bit premature.
Here is a picture of my cat.
Was this meant for the Harbaugh responds to Anderson post?
(I’ll see myself out.)
Maybe, but Anderson usually started with....
Those pics of The Big House are just fantastic. Can’t wait til this fall!
I think they're fantastic too! That's why I posted them.
A couple people here were looking for something with deeper meaning or something.
The very big man is visiting the very Big House. And Michigan has a real chance if landing him.
