| 2 years 41 weeks ago | Last time we played a regular season, neutral-site, OOC game... |
...was 10 Nov 1945 Navy at Baltimore (L 7-33). The Army game at Yankee Stadium (referenced above) was earlier that season. I'm not real happy about losing a home game to do this, but I will try to be there. It certainly marks a major change in attitude about voluntarily playing known "cheaters". Perhaps we'll agree to skip a practice if they'll agree to hold out 25 (oversigned) players.

| 2 years 41 weeks ago | It sounds like the most egregious offenders in scheduling |
the tomato can games (Minny, Iowa, and Wisky) have had a "come-to-jesus" meeting with Delany. If you look at the comments from Joel Maturi and Barry Alvarez over the last two months, they apparently see the benefits ($$$) of 9 BT conf games outweigh the benefits of 2 ooc tomato cans ($).

Mizzou: The BTN is already in KC and STL, and we'd rather not take anybody else from the B12 besides Nebraska. OU: PAC10 really doesn't want OkST and TT, so the "Texas and Hooterville 5" thing never happens. OU and OkST are better candidates to join the SEC. PAC10+: Gets fed-up with the Texas State Legislature and makes offers to Colo and Utah. Texas: Stays right where they are. We really don't want them, we are just using them to get what we want. SEC: Adds 1-3 ACC teams in addition to OU/OkST. Big Ten+: Takes Maryland, Vandy, and Neb. Stops there. ACC: Takes enough Big East teams to get back to at least 12. Sayanora BE. NDp: Fail. Die. Rot. |

I think DB will at least avoid foisting a D1AA team on us. I hope he will be willing to schedule ND + a Top 25 team once this BT expansion thing gets resolved. |
| 3 years 7 weeks ago | Great post... |
Any chance that the SS's would be used on run-down blitzes? Say perhaps when expecting a sweep, or to cause havoc on a Zone-read play? |
| 3 years 22 weeks ago | Has anyone ever made it in the NFL after being benched for.... |
.... a walk-on? Scott Dreisbach |
| 3 years 22 weeks ago | I'm thinking about the DC, Baltimore, and South Philly markets, |
and recruiting areas, and how much easier it is to get to College Park than to Columbia. crouch lower |
| 3 years 22 weeks ago | I've been hyping Pitt for many years.... |
but I think a case can be made for Maryland. They are several years removed from their MBB glory years, and leaving the ACC might not be so tough: $$$$$$. TV markets are important, and I recall Delany saying that the BT wants to expand the geographic footprint too. Maryland gives you both TV and footprint, Pitt and Mizzou don't. |
| 3 years 23 weeks ago | Brian's on the right track... |
but to avoid the logistics issues, we really need to eliminate BCS-level Conf Champ games, and play the 1st Round Playoffs on the First Saturday in December. This gives fans more time to plan. We would have to convince $$$$$ the conferences $$$$$ that it is in their best interest $$$$$ to drop Conf Champ games $$$$$. There will be plenty of $$$$$ available to do this. BTW - there's never been a year when more than five teams had any kind of claim to a MNC, as judged by any service/poll/system. My (very similar) Playoff Schemes always invited eight teams just to avoid predictable bitching, but if Brian can talk 'em down to six, let's do it! |
| 3 years 26 weeks ago | I hope Will Campbell.... |
can be all that and a bag-o-chips next year, or we are in trouble defensively. |
| 3 years 29 weeks ago | FWIW....the Cass Tech Coach is.... |
Thomas Wilcher, former Michigan RB #27 for Bo. |
| 3 years 30 weeks ago | Cool..... |
Brian called me an "insignificant drop-in-the-bucket"! WOOO! Put me on Sportscenter....preferably with Dana Jacobson. You rock, Brian! |
| 3 years 30 weeks ago | Can't say that I agreed with... |
everything BM did (esp to long-time and loyal customers), but on the whole, he has been a good AD. If the next AD can re-connect and re-energize the fan base and PSD-paying customers, give them value (no 1-AA FB games please), and make them feel appreciated, that would go a long way to making Michigan Athletics (esp FB) a more enjoyable experience for everyone. Being a Michigan fan: It's a labor of love, but it shouldn't feel like a job. |
| 3 years 30 weeks ago | I'd like to see either Bates or DeCarolis |

| 3 years 30 weeks ago | great stuff, Brian.... |
please continue these. I'm also enjoying the grad level debates and analysis between our resident coaches. Agree, disagree, but please continue! Thanks |
| 3 years 30 weeks ago | Yes, Coner at WR or Safety would be nice..... |

| 3 years 30 weeks ago | How about Wisky replacing BGSU in the CCHA? |
Would a major renegotiation ($$$) of the CCHA TV contract be sufficient to bring them onboard? |
| 3 years 30 weeks ago | Exhibition football games are not a new idea.... |
we played Homecoming exhibition games (back before Illinois invented Homecoming) against Alumni teams during 1897-99. Not sure if I like the idea or not....... |
