Texas A&M...

Sumlin was embraced at A&M. However the shine wore off as he proved to be incompetent. He was successful in year 1 because he inherited an offense with all 11 players who played in the NFL. Once Sherman’s recruits matriculated, Sumlin stunk.



He’s a fine man. His teams don’t play defense and his offense generates too many 3 and outs

Little is close with Oklahoma's backup QB (next year's starter) Kyler Murray. They were teammates in HS. Expect Little to transfer there

He can listen to the Vols radio play-by-play coverage

HALLEMUTHAFUCKINLUYAH!!!

There were more non athletes than athletes who took the classes

Gonna need Speight again this season. I like watching JOK, but given how he throws his body around, he’s likely to get dinged at some point. Hopefully Wilton is ready to step in when needed

That's not good for UM and the B1G

Always hear his voice when reading his interviews.

Political tensions are high right now, but in time, I think historians will look back and unanimously declare that Draymond is trash

It's a confirmed cornhole pic

Meanwhile Dusty Dvoracek from Oklahoma was given a medical exemption due to an alcohol incident where he nearly drunkenly beat his friend to death

Hey now, you wanna learn how to fix an outhouse with duct tape, Bama is the place to go

Check the IP address of his Counterstrike login

Maybe he's just touching himself and thinking, "damn that's a fiiiine hammy"

I have overcome both feet falling asleep due to sitting on a toilet for 20mins while reading a UFR.

Question for those who track recruiting: Roughly what percentage of the time do Sam's "Gut Feelings" end up to be correct?

Instead of "zoom zoom" and "gotta get that" etc., can you use labels that lay people understand?

Myles Garrett

I think top 15 is more likely. Also, I doubt he ever gets used on offense in the NFL. If for some reason he comes back next season, I hope the PepCat is abandoned

We have much better athletes than Wisky and look what their defense did to Ohio

dp

Ferentz is more innovative on offense than Michigan was. Let that sink in

Please put Isaac in

If M loses to Ohio or in the B1G title game, I think we still get in

It's kind of you to write that, but A&M's defense isn't in the same league as Michigan's

Hire him to design trick plays

Texas is gonna get cornholed by a Leprechaun

Is Peppers the first player to be a consensus AA despite playing a new position?

And they have a lot fewer than a few million fans.

Just venture over to: http://www.baylorfans.com and read the appalling support for Ken Starr/Art Briles and how dismissive they are over the rape culture.

Baylor is trash. Their basketball program almost got the death penalty in 2003 for trying to portray their murdered player as a drug dealer, in an attempt to cover up improper benefits.

American Samoa State College of Higher Learning is gonna be pissed that Harbaugh is stealing their recruits

Myles Garrett (DE - Texas A&M) will go #1 overall

"Nice ass" - Spurrier

They are extremely Little Brotherish when it comes to Texas A&M

Too bad they are so quick to raise money for this and something like...pediatric cancer research

Midget tossing is illegal in most states.

I guess you can take the kid out of Oosterbaan Fieldhouse, but you can't take the Oosterbaan Fieldhouse out of the kid

I don't think he understands the word "humbled"

Ever been to Waco, TX? Nothing redeeming about that place.

Little has had some very shady dealings once his handler took over his recruiting. It was not a surprise Ole Miss then landed his commitment. I don't think Harbaugh would play Little's game.

I'd go after TX recruits. A&M and UT are trending towards dumpster fires

He's smart to transfer. The OC is terrible and the offense doesn't take advantage of his abilities

Neutral punishment. Didn't provide or withhold a stimulus. Hopes that this will stop further outbursts. Clearly Urban failed Intro Psychology.

An OT in the first round in each of the 3 past drafts is pretty consistent, especially when one considers how infrequently schools generate 1st round OTs

A Tesla costs $90k.  I don't have that money, so I'm gonna go steal one, because damn it, I'm entitled to have one

This kid sounds like he has a great head on his shoulders. I strongly doubt I was that mature and focused when I was wrapping up my Sophomore year of HS. 

I'd walk from California to Michigan to live in that house

Love the references.

And now I'm sad there's no Portal 3...

Well if she got off her ass and got a real job, she could get a new car

I trust he got to witness some great layout defense by MagnUM

What did he ever do on the field against a top CB that made one think that Funchess is a blazer? Sure he looks good against college LBs and Safeties, but he never struck me as fast

Thanks for the great thread!

If you had to guess, what is the cause for the effect of age differences?  What happens to around the age of 12 that makes a difference?

If soccer players are also exhibiting CTE, it would be interesting to do a similar study and see if you get a gender difference in the cutoff age (e.g., boys - 12, girls - 10).

Their offense was horrendous last year (59yds of offense).  Their defense was solid but lose their best players to early NFL entry and graduation.  They don't have any good QBs in the pipeline.  Strong is a good defensive coach, but I don't think he'll last 4 years.

Murray is very short, but he is one of the most polished HS QBs you'll ever see.  So much so, that he may pass up A&M's current starter (who was the #1 PP QB the previous year).  Personally, I hope Murray gets redshirted.

Other contenders: Auburn with Malzahn&Muschamp. A&M with Sumlin&Chavis

I doubt Michigan lands Little. Provided 2015 QB Kyler Murray signs with A&M, 2016 OT Little should follow his HS teammate and friend to A&M

A&M just snagged Chavis from LSU

But that means Michigan may now have to compete with LSU

They let midgets play football??

It's ok as long as you're really, really, ridiculously good looking

Afghanis don't like democracy. Where's my pay?

He does have Chutzpah!

This is why you shouldn't compare Funchess to Mike Evans:

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/24852368/look-mike-evans-with-the-most-devastating-block-youll-see-today

Funchess can't block

I still don't believe you no matter how many times you say it

I have no empathy for anyone who fell for this. This is what you get when you listen to Cowherd

I wouldn't call John Idzik, Dave Brandon, Brady Hoke impressive.  Also, Enfield has struggled at USC

Especially once you get hit in the mouth

Clearly you have not seen "Interstellar" yet

Don't tell Peyton Manning

damn messenger

Bye Gardner

1) Bama 2) Oregon 3) Miss St 4) TCU.

I wouldn't vote for FSU as they enable criminal behavior which is far worse than any NCAA violation.

I take credit. I sent him an email on the 28th saying you're going to get fired, why don't you just resign.

Freebirds used to be good until they were bought out ~8 years ago

Hopefully the Michigan job finds Gary Patterson and hands him $5mil/year

66 yds of offense.  Subtract MSU's yardage from the pick-6 and our offense has moved the ball...37 yards

How the fuck did the recruitniks ever label DG the best DTQB???

The fewer times the ball touches Gardner the better. Thus a flea flicker is a doomed play

You think A&M is an awful academic institution???

• They are an AAU school
•  8th among public universities in New York Times survey of business leaders worldwide based on the top institutions from which they recruit
• 2nd in nation among universities based on "contribution to the public good," Washington Monthly
• 2nd in the nation among public universities in "great schools, great prices," U.S. News & World Report
• 2nd in nation for preparing graduates for the workforce, The Wall Street Journal
• Top 10 in nation for return on investment, or what graduates earn in their careers compared to their college costs, PayScale

Good writeup.

I always hoped one of my two teams (Michigan; A&M) would snag Patterson in their previous recent coaching searches.  Unfortunately I don't think anybody is pulling Patterson away from TCU.  I'm not sure why he's bound to the school.  FT Worth is a pretty awesome city though.

LOLWUT? Strong has been a disaster

One problem with Mullen is that we don't have his type of QB on campus. Are Michigan fans willing to give him time to get his personnel?

Kings bury is not getting it turned around. Look at his record against teams with winning records.

He can recruit but he's not a very good coach. When he won the MNC, he attributed it to stop coaching Vince Young and just let VY go make plays. Not exactly a ringing endorsement of his coaching ability

Normally I'd agree with you, but when Hoke is only using coach speak in his press conferences then I'd like to use his coach speak against him

That 2010 season was largely due to the first and second string QBs getting injured for the season

Not sure if this belongs here.... Brian - the next time you or one of your staff has a chance to ask Hoke a question, please consider asking him, "Coach, you have always placed the highest importance on winning the B1G. Even in your first season when everyone lauded your success, you were quick to point out that you failed because you didn't win the B1G. If you fail in your goal for the fourth consecutive year, will you consider resigning?"

Money talks. If you're a donor, write a letter that says you are withholding any donations until we have a new AD and coach. If you're friends with a donor (especially a big money donor), ask them to do the same.

I like this theory. Brandon would've likely had to fire Hoke to save his own job, but now he can lie and try to save face

He loves Brady and by all accounts Brady is a good man. However being a good man/friend does not necessarily make one a good coach.

I wish someone would have the balls to ask Hoke, "Coach, what does it say about you when the program has regressed with each successive year you have been coach?"

Are you 7 years old?

Butt saves our ass

Or just fire everyone

Needs to go along with everyone else. ZERO production from DEs. Every single game every single year.

I agree. Time for a new staff

That wasn't even close. Clearly PI

God bless you Emily Weiss, whomever you are. You understand what men want.
