No thanks
October 27th, 2020 at 8:22 AM ^
No, but on another note, does it feel kinda forced for the defense to put Ben VanSummeren out there at LB? He had no impact Saturday.
October 27th, 2020 at 8:26 AM ^
His only recorded stat was 1 KO return for 4 yards. I don't know if he ate blockers to help the rest of the defense. We may learn when Brian does UFRs.
PS - Van Sumeren
October 27th, 2020 at 9:59 AM ^
This is going to be like "Ruddock" all over again, isn't it?
October 27th, 2020 at 11:00 AM ^
Rudddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddock
October 27th, 2020 at 8:31 AM ^
No. First game back at LB that is already loaded with Ross, McGrone, Barrett. He will find his role.
October 27th, 2020 at 8:58 AM ^
BVS is following the Ben Mason school of preparation. Ineffective on defense one year, then a beast at FB next year.
October 27th, 2020 at 10:57 AM ^
Terrible name.
October 27th, 2020 at 11:56 AM ^
Ralph..... we should name it Ralph....

Cap'n Brown's leaky dinghy.
Sorry...just popped in my head.
And here the Cap'n...

"Gilligan's Defense"?
October 27th, 2020 at 8:03 AM ^
I hate to break this to you but speed in space is not a name.
And this is likely to be the worst defense since Harbaugh arrived. So... no
October 27th, 2020 at 8:17 AM ^
Well said. At this point, the D's name would be the, "My kingdom for a real nose tackle and some corners" defense.
October 27th, 2020 at 8:19 AM ^
very accurate, but going to be tough to get that one on a t-shirt.
October 27th, 2020 at 10:37 AM ^
Wasted a perfectly good opportunity to say "My Kingdom for a Hurst."

Well played, King Tot. Wish I'd thought of that.
October 27th, 2020 at 8:18 AM ^
I highly doubt that about the defense, but you're right about speed in space.
October 27th, 2020 at 8:03 AM ^
Maybe we should wait until we have a bit more data before we go naming it. Feels very Sparty at this point. Also the best names come organically not out of some naming brainstorm thread.
October 27th, 2020 at 8:05 AM ^
Thought the offense was called Murder Spread.
October 27th, 2020 at 8:07 AM ^
The 'wait and see' defense?
It's only been one game.
October 27th, 2020 at 8:09 AM ^
Must we? Is it truly imperative?
October 27th, 2020 at 8:09 AM ^
Crunch Bunch - collegiate defense or breakfast cereal?
October 27th, 2020 at 8:09 AM ^
In other news, I thought I saw that on the sidelines behind D Brown play cards being held up to make a play for the defense to know what to run.
October 27th, 2020 at 8:16 AM ^
This defense has much to improve upon!
October 27th, 2020 at 8:20 AM ^
OP, you have brought this upon yourself. God speed for the roasting you are going to get until this post is obliterated. Stop trying to make fetch a thing....
October 27th, 2020 at 8:22 AM ^
Fetch.
October 27th, 2020 at 8:21 AM ^
Did the 1997 defense have a snappy nickname? No, it didn't need one because its play did all the speaking that was necessary.
Fuck the hype. Fuck planting spikes. Fuck the ridiculous obsession with milk and steak and khakis and Jordan shoes and all the other ancillary David Brandonesque marketing optics bullshit. Talk is cheap.
Just play good football.
Beat Ohio State.
October 27th, 2020 at 9:21 AM ^
God dammit, Donny, you're out of your element!
October 27th, 2020 at 10:48 AM ^
Yikes...sorry
October 27th, 2020 at 8:27 AM ^
Let’s see if this defense improves before we get too excited. Thought they looked a little weak at times and left me concerned for when we face Wisconsin and OSU
October 27th, 2020 at 9:28 AM ^
Wisconsin may be down to a 4th string QB when/if we play them and their running game does not look vintage Wisconsin.
October 27th, 2020 at 8:27 AM ^
Yes, yes and a mascot too. let's do this.
October 27th, 2020 at 10:28 AM ^
And a turnover award too. You know, like a turnover chain or something really cool like that.
October 27th, 2020 at 12:21 PM ^
how about a theme song? we could call it hail and unite?
what about a halo around the stadium?
October 27th, 2020 at 8:28 AM ^
Wolverine Defense is a pretty good name.
October 27th, 2020 at 8:30 AM ^
No, no we don't!
October 27th, 2020 at 8:38 AM ^
Sorry guys, I was only trying to create some fun!
The only "fun post" on the board is the opponent look-a-like contest shortly before each game.
Holy Shit Batman, I might create a new post topic negativity rating record .......... and that'sfor a positive post!
I admit my glass is usually half-full and I expected some half-empty glasses. But I did not expect the empty or broken glasses!
Maybe I should have made ............... a negative post!
Don't worry I promise to never create another post topic!
Where's the penalty for "unnecessary roughness"?
October 27th, 2020 at 8:40 AM ^
Well damnit, I hope you learned your lesson!
People are a lil bit touchy about what gets a board post these days.
October 27th, 2020 at 8:44 AM ^
People have always been kinda touchy about what gets posted on the board
October 27th, 2020 at 8:52 AM ^
So what?
Isn't information, opinion, and feedback the reasons for the Board's existence?
Hawt takes and snowflakes may not be appreciated.
October 27th, 2020 at 9:28 AM ^
People are allowed to be touchy. It's also fair to point out that an extra, useless board post here or there isn't going to hurt anyone, lol
October 27th, 2020 at 9:02 AM ^
Well, actually you succeeded quite well. I have had a great deal of fun reading the comments in response to your proposal.
October 27th, 2020 at 9:27 AM ^
And you did!
Look at how much fun the haters, concern trolls, negative Nancies and don't say peep till we beat OSU folks had.
October 27th, 2020 at 12:22 PM ^
we can't name the defense until we beat OSU?
October 27th, 2020 at 9:47 AM ^
Well, at least you owned up to it. I am pleased that you didn't go M Go Bru-chebag when people called you out. Well played.
October 27th, 2020 at 11:16 AM ^
+1 for owning it.
Good brufence!
October 27th, 2020 at 11:37 AM ^
+1 to you for leaving it up so OP can take some licks
