By apology I should've said explanation.  When he explained that he loved the rivalry and would've been proud if LTT was a Buckeye and did it.

All I'm saying is that I think he's been sufficiantly and appropriately been chastised for his mistake.  He deleted his twitter.  And he's being made fun of on this blog, which I have no problem with.  I just don't think there's a need to take it past that point like some people were saying needed to happen.

He can now go away from my life and live his own miserable one as an obscure ohio fan (they all live miserable lives) whom I hope to never see or hear about again.

I promise to step off the soap box now... I just didn't like the tone this thread was starting to take.  

The internet does not forget?  Give the man a break seriously.  He was really really really stupid with what he said but seriously?

Can we please not try and ruin a guy's life?  Everybody does incredibly stupid things in their life.  This is far from the worst thing I've ever heard someone do.  

As long as he deleted it and apologized, let him live his life.  No need to go and ruin a guy's life.  

Scott Stricklin is the guy Michigan fans should hope and expect to get.  They guy knows how to recruit and develop stud pitchers.  And he can recruit with the best of them.  In a lot of ways he is kind of like Maloney.  I'm not sure about Maloney's track record at BSU before he came over other than he had a #1 overall pick in the MLB draft... but Stricklin just finished winning his fourth straight MAC tournament.

The last time a coach won a MAC tournament other than him was Coach Boss, who then took the job at MSU.  Stricklin can recruit and develop talent.  He is the guy all Michigan fans should be cheering for to get the job!  I was pleasantly surprised when he didn't get the OSU job a few years ago.

The #12 was just for the year 2012 I believe because that DT we just offered got the same letter and tweeted something along the lines of... "I think I got a letter Shane was supposed to get".

The roster is littered with in-state kids... like it should be...

But I think maybe coach maybe fooled himself by believing the Ann Arbor area is always filled with top notch recruits.

When he came to Michigan Zach Putnam was a local legend and the rest of that roster was filthy.  I really believe that was a once-in-a-generation group... That Ann Arbor Braves team was stacked from about a decade ago with Putnam, Avila, and a few other top ballplayers.

Just a thought. 

Is it just me or is there a bit of a bobblehead effect with RG3 and is head?  It looks really disproportionate to his body.  

Video Game people always photoshop those pictures so oddly, I can remember in NCAA Baseball 07 (I think) when the U. of Texas "T" on the batting helmet was no where near where it was supposed to be.

Shouldn't the 'maize' on the brand new scoreboard tell us what Dave Brandon is thinking?  Obviously that thing looks like the 'maize' basketball uniforms we've been wearing and is a pretty good indication of the maize we will be looking at for all sports moving forward.

Am I right?

Are they not actually wearing the 'Rose-Pedel' numbers on their jerseys?  If they are it is literally not noticable.  I'm kind of dissapointed I keep looking for a difference on the jersey and I just don't see it.  

Am I just crazy?

This is why I love mgoblog... anyone who reads this post has to like Michigan... at least a little bit.  

Go Blue!

I wish I was good at all this photoshop and .gif stuff.....

That being said... anyone wanna stamp Jim Tressel's face onto this guy right here in this video?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Dj-4RYjbdY

I'm no good at embedding =/

It's awesome seeing all these fans.  Goes to show you that all Michigan fans are not all Detroit fans.  It's amusing because if we were on any other blogsite you guys would all hate each other.  But we gotta play nice because we all love us some Brady Hoke and Lloyd Brady =)

I didn't mean to spew my annoyance about this at you... I copied and pasted that remark about the texting from another thread. 

I'm not on the Leach bandwagon...

Just stating that the texting thing isn't a big deal IMO... in no way should that ever be "Major".

I mean... I don't know how old you are... but 234 text messages to 45 prospective athletes by one coach?  I know people in college probably send and recieve at least 100-200 texts a day if not more.

Thats... 5.2 texts to each person? Over how much time I wonder? And some probably responded so there was a quick conversation...

To be fair... I'd probably say on an average day I send about... 150-200 texts a day?  It's really not a lot at all.

I know it's illigal... but it's not exactly like texting is an obvious thing that Mike Leach would definitely know about.  If that's the reason we didn't hire him I'd be concerned about our program/fan base/decision makers.

You guys want to be happy???

Right here kids.  Look right here.

Stay classy Ron Burgundy...

Underdogs still win big games when they have a great coach.

I'm not asking Michigan to win every rivalry game while the team is young...

But 0-6 against OSU and MSU is unacceptable.  End of story.  No excuses.  There's a reason why we are the leaders and best.... we've never let this kind of thing happen.

That is one stupid arguement... lol...

Oregon's team has been sitting in a MUCH better position than Stanford's for a while... so the fact Harbough even got one from them in that four year stretch... is a great coaching feat... 

Harbough actually occasionally won a game he wasn't supposed to win at Stanford... actually he did it quite frequently... with a lot less talent... something that Rich Rod has done... what?  Once against Wisconson in 07'?

And Harbough was the beginning of USC's decline... kicking them in the arse when they were #1... that was such a huge victory... it showed that USC was vulnerable for the first time in a while.  Harbough wins big games.  He did it at Michigan once, and he can do it again...

About a decade ago OSU hired an Ohio guy that promised big things because he understood OSU football... maybe it's time Michigan did the same...

That would be an awesome under-the-radar matchup during bowl season.  

Imagine playing Notre Dame during a bowl game?  That's pretty much what that will be like in the state of Kentucky.  That would be pretty awesome.

Would a cash strapped, average institution like Colorado really be an upgrade over a place like State?

I dislike State as much as the next person on here, but Dantonio seems to have a pretty good track record around these parts and I don't see him leaving until Mr. Tressel leaves osu... I think he's going to hold out for that job.  Unless a Tennessee does come along.

But not Colorado. lol.

By saying they still have an upset or two left in the tank... that would imply that they actually have given us an upset win in recent history... I mean unless 08 Wisconson or 08 Minnesota count still....

As someone still forced to play Ps2 football from time to time.

I appreciate this post.

I found the Jim Abbott Michigan baseball shirt that they gave out at Ray Fisher when they retired his number at the salvation army this summer!

I wear the shirt at least once a week down here at my college, and I love talking about him every chance I get!

He's embodies what a Michigan Man is.  And why the people down in Columbus will never be as special as the men they make in Ann Arbor.

End of story.

Michigan Football is built upon beating our rivals.  We hold it next to our heart that we've dominated the OSU and MSU rivalries....

Well Rich Rod is 0-3 against MSU and 0-2 against OSU.  He needs to beat OSU this year or next and has to beat MSU next year.

If he doesn't win 2 of those 3 games then I think he has to be done.  End of story.  You can't lose to OSU 8 years in a row, no matter the coach.  Can you?

I will support... but we HAVE TO, let me repeat, HAVE TO beat MSU next year and we have to beat OSU once in the next two meetings, either this year or next year.

Michigan football is built off of beating our rivals.  This is getting rediculous.  

Why does it only say Michigan has only four wins on OSU?  Did that shock anyone else?

I'm still a BG student, fan, and employee and I'll see you guys at various events while I continue to work for the athletic department.  

I love BGSU and I love Ann Arbor too.   I am thankful that I get to participate at sporting events, it's not something I take for granted.

But lesson learned.  No more jokes coming from over here, I promise.

I don't think I should predict a score, but I think Devin Garnder will have a big day.  Lol.

For the good measure of rubbing it in a little bit, I'm predicting Michigan misses an extra point while Bryan Wright makes a field goal... that will be fun for the BG fan in me. 

Although he's virtually a lock to kick at least one kickoff out of bounds, as he does that pretty much once a game, even when he played for Michigan if I remember correctly.

Personally I'd like to see Kamar Jordan get like 18 catches.  And have Denard run for like 200 yards.  

They ain't paying my bills, I'm paying all my bills to them!!!

My undergraduate degree is going to get me next to nothing without my graduate degree... which will probably not be at BGSU.

And I love Bowling Green, but when you grow up in Ann Arbor your whole life you gotta cheer for the team you've invested 18+ years to.  Ideally I want Bowling Green to go 12-0 every year... except when they pay the team from Ann Arbor. 

Nothing about that makes me a traitor.  Maybe a "Wal-mart Wolverine" to those idiots from MSU... but I'm Go Blue through and through.

He's not really talked about much here, kind of just a blip on the radar.  Especially to the people that were here then.  They don't talk about him much, and it's normally not the best things either. 

You should come back for a game!  The stadium is gorgeous with the Sebo center they put in a few years back!

After missing the first three and a half quarters because of BTN stupidity, I was hoping this would come asap.

Thank you!

By the way.  I had a dream last night that I was reading SI.com and in the bottom right corner was a link to click on an article written by "Formerlyanonymous" and I remember thinking to myself... "Shit, when did FA get a weekly spot on si.com?".

So.  +1 to you and here's to hoping you get that article in SI sometime soon!

Are a jerk.... :(

You just made me cry all over again.  I told my girlfriend I only wanted two shirts from the mgostore and that would be it for christmas...

=(

I've seen some pretty rediculous double posts... but... a 16-re-post???

Haha.  Glad it gave me a laugh... after losing all the shirts in the store I needed somethign =(

Is there anyone that can send me the shirt designs so I could... like... print them onto shirts myself....  

=(

The next time someone from West Virginia whines and moans about Rich Rod leaving his alma mater to go coach at a more prestigous school make sure you mention Coach Nehlen and how West Virginia took him away from Bowling Green, where he was the head coach at the time.

Nehlen was a star quarterback in Bowling Green during the fifties then went as was an assistant coach at a bunch of different places (including Michigan) until landing the head coaching gig at Bowling Green.  He was there for eight years before West Virginia thought to steal him away.

He's got 10 more weeks to become the first ever player to win the award more than twice in a season... I'm liking his chances!

I guess from my point of view one big factor in the championship formula for teams is winning the first big game of the season.  For example OSU, Texas, LSU, USC, Alabama, and now Boise. They all have played huge, huge games at the beginning of the season and when they won it put them in the national eye and on the fast track to the national championship.

05: Texas beats OSU, never looked back.

06: OSU beat Texas, put them in drivers seat for NC game (lost to Fla.)

07: LSU beats Va Tech, loses two games but still ends up in Nat. Title game.  W/out that extra quality win do they end up in game still?

08: USC beats OSU, makes statement, sets themselves up with #1 ranking until the other OSU wins a wierd game up in Corvallis two Thursdays later.

09: Alabama beats VaTech in first game of season, makes mark on national scene.  Ends up in national championship game.

10: Boise beats VaTech, LSU beats UNC, OSU vs. Miami.  What are the chances Boise, LSU, or OSU/Miami makes the nat. championship game?

Conclusion?

VaTech is to season openers as tOSU is to national championship games.  Also, if you want to secure a spot in the national championship game you need to win a big out of conference game, because that's the most secure way into the championship game.

So... looking into the future...

2012: Michigan beats Alabama, earns #1 ranking and never looks back!

2012 National Champs baby!

That movie was so rediculously not like the book!  I mean the movie was okay, but for God's sake... make a freaking movie like the book or else just say it's based off the book and call it something else.

I was very saddened.  I felt like I was cheating out future generations of kids, who whenever they hear "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" they'll think of that stinking movie.

Argghhh

I saw Boise State last year when they traveled to Bowling Green.  They are a freaking event, up there with 'Strasmas' and things like that.  When they come to town EVERYONE comes out to see them and they all cheer for them.  

Boise State filled a niche that was previously not filled.  They were the underdog that consistantly outplayed bigger teams with consistantly lesser ranked players.

Simply amazing.  I love it.

Yes.

If Tate came in under Lloyd his career would've turned out just like Jason's did.  He grew up in a family that bred him to be a quarterback from the moment the sperm hit the overies.  He was as polished his freshman as most D-1 quarterbacks after two years.  That being said, preparation doesn't make him great.  There's only so much that can do for you.  Part of it is genetics, and while Tate was polished, he didn't have the skill set needed.

It was pretty obvious during the Iowa game Rich Rod wasn't a fan of Tate's... but Tate was literally his ONLY option.  Devin Gardener is a much more skilled player, and with the help of spring practice has been able to refine his talent to much better suit Rich Rod's system than Tate's talent ever was.  

Tate should always be remembered positively by Michigan fans for helping bridge a gap that was the lowest talent level ever to step foot on campus in Ann Arbor.  But unfortunately his time (tentatively since Denard could get hurt and Devin really truely might not be ready) is up when it comes to being a consistant on-field contributer.  But he also could work harder from this point on and try to be a leader and impact this team off the field too.  I hope that's what he does.

I love Tate and I hope nothing but the best for him.  But what's the best for him isn't what's best for the on-field performance of Michigan.  It's just the flat out truth.

Lets Go Blue!!!!

Are you trying to tell us this is a double post?  I'm glad he posted this because I wasn't going to keep checking up on a post from 2 days ago...  This is relevent.

And the MGoBoard is always the place I go to for breaking news when it comes to things sports/Michigan related.  

MGoBoard >Si.com>Espn.com

Doing something right?  I don't understand...?

Alright.  My feelings on Ohio State.  I want to beat them every year.  I hate it when they win.  And I love it when they lose.  As a school and program though, I respect that they are our rivals.  The rivalry is the greatest in sports.  I respect that they have a great thing going in Columbus right now and are the most consistant program in the Big 10 right now.

That being said.  It disgusts me that they choose to lessen The Game (or the game however you want to type it) by allowing nike to totally redesign their jerseys for our game two years in a row. 

The Michigan v. Ohio State game is supposed to be the winged helmet vs. the buckeye stickers.  It's supposed to be a winged-Charles Woodson fighting with a David Boston who is covered in buckeye stickers.  It's what makes the game send chills down your back.

Nike tries to create tradition.  You can't create tradition overnight.  Tradition isn't supposed to be marketed.  This sucks.  I hate this so much.  Win or lose against OSU, I want them to be wearing their grey helmets with stickers on them.  I want the tradition.  

The whole O-Line gets 5 stars for me.  Running backs are dumb, you just tell them which way to run and they do it.  

I base that strictly from Forrest Gump..

Football Coach: Who in the hell is that?

High School Coach: That there is Forrest Gump. Coach. Just a local idiot.

Football Coach: He must be the stupidest son-of-a-bitch alive. But he sure is fast!

I think Theo's just trying to get all the pieces back and survey the scene to make a run at 2011.  If the Rays picked him up they'd probably have a decent chance at re-signing him next year.  I think Theo has quietly thrown in the towel for this year... not to mention Johnny Damon hates Boston.  

lol.

We'll see though.

The Red Sox have no interest in Johnny Damon!  If anyone thinks they actually want him on the roster then you're crazy.

It was just to make sure no one else will take him.  No trade is going to happen.  And if it does the DD is a genius for turning a profit from signing an older guy like Damon to a one year deal.

I personally love Damon and would love to see him in a Tigers uni next year.

Laughter is always the best medicine for a broken down sould... until September 4th at least.... then beating down UConn will be a suitible replacement.

Go most amazing thread ever!  And Go Blue!

I was watching the 1997 OSU v. UM game yesterday thanks to WolverineHistorian (Along with both 38-0 beatdowns of ND) and watched in amazement as Charles Woodson burnt the defense as a wideout, shutdown David Boston as a cb, and returned punts... and my immidiate thought was that Denard could totally do it.

I wish wish wish he could do both QB and Corner... 

Just like in NCAA 04 with Desmond where you could be the my player mode for the first time and after like three years your player was always 99 ovr. speed and could play QB AND CB.  Yeah.  Please Denard?

I don't care if maybe he should've stepped down a few years back... or if he is past his prime, which he obviously has been for a while, this sucks.

Sometimes you just wish the great ones could stick around forever.  I love how foreward thinking he's been in recent years, totally supporting the Nebraska addition and wanting to start things up with Pitt again.

He's going to leave some pretty damn big shoes behind for someone to try and fill....

Lloyd Carr is telling you to run the ball at least 3 out of every 4 downs... and take the play clock down to 2 seconds on every other play!

Giving up 40+ points a game means you gotta throw in a run play here or there and actually watch the clock. lol.  I beat a guy online the other day 12-10 using Michigan and he was Arkansas.  It was the most satisfyingly frustrating game I've ever played online.   

Yeah man they have home and away #10 and one other number... 86 maybe?  Either way I totally loved the nikes a lot more than last years addidas's... 

Not sure how I feel about this years version yet.

Line up in the 5-2 defense but have your de's drop back in coverage or man to man and squeeze the middle three in towards the middle.  

That way you take out the middle and if your doing zone the de's will still be in the area to be able to clog space.

Also occasionally guess which side they're running and do a cb blitz play on that side in the 5-2... running is hard to stop in general this year but if the guy online sees a 5-2 and you luckily stop him a few plays he'll be inclined to pass it... but with the de's dropping back still it's not any easier for him to pass.

What's your GT on Live (I'm assuming your on 360)?   I'd be happy to beat you just using passing plays :)  VA Tech and Michigan are my two teams this year.  Good luck!

Wu-Tang maybe?  haha.

That's how I'm coping right now... My two-headed monster of Denard & Devin in Dynasty mode is killing it... 

It's a beautiful thing.

Yahoo Sports! Reports Butch Davis has left UNC to take over at _____.

Only question.  NFL or College? 

Haha.  I like my school's fight song but we never play it at the game.

Instead we play a song called "Ay-Ziggy-Zoomba" after every good play... and it gets annoying as hell.  I hope I don't hear it too many times on Sept. 25th.  Actually never would be fine.

The lyrics to "Ay-Ziggy-Zoomba"

Ay Ziggy Zoomba Zoomba Zoomba 
Ay Ziggy Zoomba Zoomba Ze 
Ay Ziggy Zoomba Zoomba Zoomba 
Ay Ziggy Zoomba Zoomba Zi 
Roll along, you B-G warriors 
Roll along, and win for B-G-S-U.  

lol.  Don't know why they picked Ay Ziggy Zoomba.  So annoying.

I think it was Pasta Padre that said they are actually going to make it so the quarterbacks don't fumble as much, but it might not be until the actual patch gets released in a few weeks.

I know in my Michigan dynasty it was always the backup quarterbacks that fumbled constantly, whether it was Denard or Devin Gardner after his redshirt year.  

My favorite part of the Dynasty pre-progression fix was that Devin Gardner was the highest rated QB in the game his RS Senior year.  But I also had to put it on hold after 5 years so I'm glad it's fixed.

An article I wrote and it came up with P. G. Wodehouse? 

By the way, copy and pasted Terrelle Pryor's research essay too.... I guess a blooming David Foster Wallace too lol.

I still think it'd be a kick-ass spring sport.  And I think the ratings would be astronomical if you could get a weekly tournament of a lot of big time teams playing against each other.  

It'd also allow smaller school QB's the chance to show their stuff on a more regular basis.  And it'd create a lot of hype for the fall.

Haha.  That was awesome seeing the president at the end.  I've always lamented about how lame and non-satisfying the endings are after you win something in sports video games.

Maybe it was just my imagination but I feel like in some NHL game for the SNES you got to skate your guy around the rink with the cup after you won.  Maybe I was just six and wanted to do that really badly.  Anyways I wish you could do something interactive after winning a National Title in NCAA or a Super Bowl in Madden.

May he never see daylight again.

I definitely thought this was some story about the Minnesota Twins adding another player to the team before the trade deadline.

Thank God its not.

Needs to buy the Lions.

He is one of my favorite people in sports.  He truely loves the Wings and Tigers.  And he truely loves the city of Detroit.  

I just wish he sold his pizzas in CoPa for $5.  Although the Hot Dog value meal is about as good of a stadium deal as you'll ever see.

It''s awesome that he threw a no-hitter... but I think it's even more impressive that he allowed a baserunner per inning and still came away with a shutout.

Also with how many perfect game/no-hitter's this year how many no-no's and/or perfect games does Stephen Strasburg throw in his career?  Without steroids or greenies in the game I feel like barring injury Strasburg could rack up one a year... lol.

As a huge baseball geek this is the standard answer... But it's just fascinating to try and peer into a man's mind like Billy Beane...

I just don't understand how a man can run a baseball team and never watch any of their games.  Even if he is trying to take an objective look at a subjective game...

And also, he's pretty much abandoned the moneyball approach and is way into soccer now, but it's still a great read.

He just put his drive behind that tree....

.... Just Kidding... the next shot he put on the green...

He's baaaackkkkk

The Ohio State hire is an awesome one.  Just like how Maloney came from Ball State to put Michigan back on the map Greg Beals will do the same for Ohio State, and he also comes from Ball State.

While OSU hasn't been "off the map" they have been underperforming... a la Michigan football the last few years with Lloyd.  The teams had tons of talent, were supposed to dominate, yet failed to capitalize (OSU didn't even qualify for the B10 tournament this year).  

Beals always has his teams ready to play and he always, always gets the most out of his players.  He had two players selected in the first two rounds a few weeks ago (Vitek and Perci Garner) along with a later round pick.  The man develops talent.

Notre Dame on the other hand is just a mess.  

This honestly makes me really sad.

A person dead at 37 is way too young.  Especially someone who just seemed to love life like Lima.

This sucks.

Puts the biggest smile on my face :)

Dembrowski could care less if the middle infield can hit or not... he just wants defense from those positions...

Adam Everett literally transforms the lineup from an AL one to an NL one... the only difference is the our 9 hole hitter bats every single day... Adam Everett looks and hits like a pitcher when he's in the batters box.

He's got a nice glove though.

I think the Bedford story is pretty cool and that would be totally awesome!

I feel like Saline has enough money to do what they want though.... they sure spend like they have enough money.

Plays Rugby here at Bowling Green...

The sport is amazing... my favorite is the "sevens" version of the game.  It's a 15 minute game with two seven and a half minute halves... It's super intense.

If anyone is interested in watching NBC is actually covering the USA Sevens Collegiate Championships on June 4-6th in Columbus.  My school is competing in the tournament along with 15 other teams.

Here is the link to the tournament being shown on NBC if anyone is interested.

Never say the Lions "Can't miss on this one!"

That being said...

Geez I love my man named SUH.

I would skip summer vacation and go straight into fall classes/school work if it meant the season could start sooner.

I can't wait to see Denard play.

Those stupid Bowling Green kids hurting LaMarre.

Drawing small school beasts! I tried drawing a Michigan baseball player... but alas my better judgement told me that I suck at drawing people.

The green dude is Cleveland State's logo btw for people.

He even won a national title back here at Bowling Green wayyyy back in the day. He is a boss.

Is it wrong for me to want Evan Turner? Because I think he'd look mighty good in a Pistons uniform...

I can forgive him for going to OSU. Fundamentals and hard work would be nice to see on this team again.

And I'd take a kid from OSU over a kid that's coached by John Callipari anyday...

He's down 57% to 43%. Lets do this!

Wish there was a nike logo on the jersey. But, +1 to you!

I'm there now.

They stole my joy and made me cry over the way my Freddie Barnes-led Falcons lost to them this bowl season in Boise :(

I don't doubt Idaho is nice and all... but they beat my school I spend my money to attend in a rather heart wrenching fashion. lol.

Freddie still smashed the all-time receptions record that day though. :)

Does Wyoming have anything going for them in sports?

I saw them come in to Bowling Green and sat next to Pat Forde the whole game, and he had just come up from the Cincinatti v. Fresno State game. After Boise's beatdown of my beloved Falcons Pat Forde predicted to me that Cincinatti would go undefeated in the Big East and Boise would go to the Fiesta Bowl this year.

As much as I disagree with a lot of his stuff, I gotta give it to him on that one.

As for Boise, at one point they scored 21 points in 2 minutes. This team is scary good, they could compete with any team in the nation. I think it's about time they join the Pac-10, because if they were they could legitamitally compete to play in the Rose Bowl on New Years every year. That program is in a very good place right now.

Go Boise!

Is it just me or does manny never dribble with his left hand? Never drives down the lane with his left.

It drives me crazy he always goes to his right, at least from my casual fans perspective....

This has a nice little graph of the playoff picture for both conferences.

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/standings/playoffrace/seeds

It boggles my mind that there are seven teams with either 8-6 or 7-7 records in the AFC.

I don't know who's gonna play who the next two weeks but man this tiebreaker could be rediculous....

Can we not pick on Bowling Green! We do have Freddie Barnes, leading reciever in the nation!

lol. I'm just messing around, but hey at least I actually get to drive to a bowl game to see my college play... Even if we're projected to play in Boise and it will take me 234234 hours to get there.

Is way tougher than TCU's...

but Florida, for this year only, hasn't played as tough of a schedule as people think...

Tennessee, Arkansas, and LSU are the only above average teams they've played so far, and only LSU was/is ranked.

Alabama is gonna roll over Florida in a few weeks... as much as it pains me to watch Nick Saban win, they have the best team in America. Hands down in my opinion.

They played another top 25 team instead of Texas State in that second game of the season I would say that they should be a legit Title contender...

But lets look at the numbers...

They beat #16 (at the time) BYU 38-7 (btw BYU did beat Oklahoma)

Just killed #16 Utah 55-28....

Also beat a should be heisman candidate in CJ Spiller and Clemson and also beat down a horrible Virginia team...

Texas on the other hand...

Their only two ranked wins this year came against #20 (at the time) Oklahoma 16-13 and #14 (at the time) Oklahoma State 41-14...

Looking at the resumes Texas hasn't had that much harder of a schedule than TCU... and I'm confidant in saying that if TCU was in the Big 12 this year... they would have run the table and would win the Big 12 too.

It was Drew Nietzel's senior year when they lost to Grand Valley.

Freddie Barnes for Biletnikoff!

Michigan is 81st in Total D and BG is 88th in Total D.

Michigan is 70th in Scoring D and BG is 87th.

Now Bowling Green does have the 22nd best Pass D compared to Michigan's 63rd.

Rushing D BG is 110th compared to Michigan's 85th ranked Rushing D.

I'll take Donavan Warren and then trade secondaries with BG.

So... ya take that however you want.

They were also drooling about Jake Long and the offensive line in the last part of that game. Jon Gruden is in love with the Miami Dolphins,

And also no wonder Gruden had so many qbs in tampa, all he talked about that last drive was about how much he loved the fact that Miami kept on switching QB's... calling it, and I quote "the most exciting thing to ever happen to him" watching the QB's switch in and out

The Muck Wolverines!

Is now my favorite wolverine. Easily.

I hope he plays a lot during the Delaware State game. I'd love to cheer for him in person.
