11 hours 15 min ago	You forgot to mention the most obvious ACC target	in Georgia Tech.  Atlanta market, good academics, not central to ACC and already not in same conference as in-state rival.
1 day 7 hours ago	No offense, but that might be the worst suggestion ever	the last thing we need is another Big East/Acc turd on the schedule, especially one that plays in a frickin dome.  Terrible.
1 day 7 hours ago	I just don't see a long term series happening	or at least not one the fans would want.  It will be an ever changing series of home and homes or nuetral site one offs for better or worse.   I like the variety, and to hell with Notre Dame,  but I think the schedule just won't be as good without the annual ND game.  At least we will have UM/Rutgers and ND/Duke in its place!  Blech.
3 days 5 hours ago	I totally disagree	I love the thought of a front court with GR3 Mitch and Morgan/Horford. That fits each players skills well, will fare much better in the B1G and gets more experience on the floor. There may be more talent on the wings but it is young talent.
4 days 12 hours ago	None of the starters last year were recruited by this staff so	I'm willing to wait till they get their guys in to make a judgement. Star rankings are one thing but if they aren't the right fit for the scheme the star rankings don't mean as much.
5 days 2 hours ago	How old are you and how good are your recieving skilz	Jk
1 week 1 day ago	Good list	painful of course, but those all have to go down in my top 10 most paingful UM related calls/non-calls.
1 week 1 day ago	That is thoroughly craptastic	I still can't beleive Brandon scheduled App St.  There is nothing good that can come from that even if we win 70-0.  It would be like Domino's brining back the 30 minute garuantee as a promotion despite the fact that it arguably caused multiple traffic deaths and cost the company millions in settlements and court judgments.
1 week 1 day ago	Those look pretty sweet to me	so I'd be happy if they stopped there, not including the obvious technical advances.
1 week 1 day ago	Same. It's great during football season	But totally unlistenable from April to July.
1 week 2 days ago	That's at least 6 bad giveaways by Smith	He needs to go the way of Lashoff.
1 week 2 days ago	Seriously I think its time for Smith to take a seat	in the stands.  I'd rather they play White at this point. Smith has zero confidence right now and it shows badly.
1 week 2 days ago	Smith and Quincey are just awful	Mr Giveaway and Mr Bad Penalty.
1 week 2 days ago	Yet another wasted draft pick by the Raiders	they might be the only front office worse than the Lions over the last decade or so.
1 week 2 days ago	I love London and I love Deanrd, but	the idea of an NFL game in England is bad enough, but when it involves the Jags its even worse.
1 week 2 days ago	You have to wonder if those are actually UM fans or	other fanbases trolling.  Why in the world would anyone give Watson crap for choosing Kansas when our coaches stopped recruiting him?   Oh and btw- Twitter is the Devil.
1 week 2 days ago	Maybe the worst/best show of all time	just check out the awesome airbrushing on that poster!
1 week 2 days ago	Well Hagerup may go the way of Stonum	but there is no way he would not be granted a 5th year if he does everything that Hoke has set up for his penance.
1 week 3 days ago	Yea that was my other major critique of the schedule	I love going up to Evanston every winter for what is almost  Michigan home game inside a crazy small arean.
1 week 6 days ago	Where's the threat?	Now all we need to do is win in EL and Spartys little "run" is officially over on and off the field.
2 weeks 1 day ago	It has been said numerous times that Martin paid	players that did not end up at Michigan so I think its very possible some money went to players who ended up at Sparty.  I'm not saying that to excuse what happened at Michigan or to label the Sparty hoops program as dirty, but to remind people that the Ed Martin scandal went beyond Michigan.
2 weeks 1 day ago	Sorry, but this is where the meme of players should be paid	goes off the rails.  I understand why Webber took the money.  A lot of it came when he was in high school and he was not from a wealthy family.  Many kids do the same thing in the same situation, and even though its against the rules, I get it.  I'm also generally in favor of compensating NCAA athletes in some reasonable fashion. That said, I have a big problem with the way Webber handled this whole mess.  His refusal to talk set the investigation, and ultimately the program, back years and only compounded the problem.  Had he come clean in the beginning he would have saved the University years of turmoil and himself a perjury conviction.  So for that, I absolutely think Webber should appologize. On the other side of the coin, I don't see what Michigan has to apologize for at all.  They did not tell Webber to take the money, they did not tell Webber to lie under oath and cover things up.  They did not set up the NCAA's ridiculous rules of "ametuerism."    Just because the NCAA system is outdated and hypocritical does not mean that turns every athlete into a victim and every University into a perpetrator.
2 weeks 2 days ago	Be prepared for this to be the meme unless and until	someone shows they can beat Urban and the Bucks.  As much as I hate it, they have lorded over the B1G for a decade and show no signs of slowing down with Urban at the helm and the B1G down overall.  Michigan is the only legit threat at this point but they need to prove it on the field whereas Ohio gets the benefit of the doubt based on the last 10+ years of dominance.
2 weeks 3 days ago	Funny how none of those things mattered	In the first half against Ohio or in the 2 games before Ohio, or against South Carolina.
2 weeks 3 days ago	Well the only reason I am talking about it	is because the OP brought it up, but lets not pretend that it hasn't been brought up as a real possibility by Brandon himself.
2 weeks 3 days ago	Sorry, but telling me something could be way worse	is not a very good argument for accepting something that sucks.
2 weeks 4 days ago	This while episode just reemphasizes what a total dumpster fire	The Pistons organization has become. Seriously, what the hell are they paying the GM for if they need to keep bringing in consultants? It's even worse that it's a former bitter rival and king douche. It's been obvious that Joe D needed to be canned years ago but Gores obviously can't pull the trigger so instead he comes up with this half assed solution? What a joke.
2 weeks 4 days ago	Didn't they have issues with Levenberry as well?	Wonder what's going on with LB recruiting down in Tallahassee?
2 weeks 4 days ago	There were rumors of Ringer leaving long before	We got to 86 scholarships and it would have been easier for Hoke to just tell Hagerup to take a hike given his off the field problems. I think there is nothing to see here.
2 weeks 4 days ago	Sparties love to cherry pick stats like that	while conveniently ignoring the facts that Michigan had an episode of temprorary insanity, Ohio's official win totals during that period are lessened due to tatgate, Penn State imploded, and well, the rest of the B1G sucks.
