Yeah, but I have been lurking (daily).....between moving the family cross country and spending 6 months in Afghanistan kinda cramped on my internet time....but this is still my favorite blog.  

anti-christ

3 hours of watching the game sped up in 3 seconds...

Ever since Hoke's freak grizzly bear wrestling accident in 1984 he vowed never to return to that region. 

We offered 16 kids in Ohio and 9 committed......thats a 56% success rate.  Also, out of those 16 only 3 of them went to Ohio State.  

Actually its ESRI ArcGIS.....I'll have to check out Tableau to be honest I never even heard of it until I saw it in your post.  Did a quick check on the website, and it looks interesting.  

Pshhhhhh.....mgoblogger only stay at fine establishments like Motel 6, and Country Inn.  

I am selling my Shane Morris #12 Michigan Jersey on craigslist if anyone is interested......$5

Supposedly everyone is infected with the virus its already in your blood (supposedly this is the secret the scientist at the CDC told Rick)......you just have to die to become a walker.....unless you are killed by head force trauma.  

1.) Start a blog

2.) Every 2 weeks predict a possible commitment is close

3.)?????

4.) Profit

.....its true he was on Urbans staff, but lets give Mattison a few years at Michigan and see how many arrests accumulate under this staff in Ann Arbor.  I think we will soon find out this is a Urban problem and not a Mattison problem.  

Columbus Marion-Franklin HS WR Jaron Dukes has pledged to#Michigan

I didnt think i would use it ever again.....but hell with it.

Nice try Dayne Crist

.....there is still a chance?!

Its obviously Brionte Dunn.

.....but posts like this make me cringe.

.....I could see the "buckle up" thing turning into a rallying cry if we would of actually landed Brionte Dunn (when it was first introduced by Tom VH)...howeva since we did not land him (or any recruit since) I cant see why this has turned into somthing so popular when it has produced 0 results.

tl;dr: I blame "buckle up" for everything.  

....and I couldnt agree more.....this kid should be referred to as "The Senator".

My reaction to the Yuri threads.....

We are def going to need some offensive players along with some defensive players.  Depending on how coaches allocate the talent we may need some special team players as well.  I dont have any insider info a/o sources, but could someone please confirm. 

OMG he is wearing matching underwear!!!!!!!!

60% of his passes.....he completes every pass....its science. 

Seriously....trying to direct a little traffic/business for Tom is ok in my book considering we all benefited off hit free content and hard work for his entire time here.  

Some people should sit back and ask themselves "what the hell do I contribute here" other then looking for the first opportunity to bash someone for posting something.  This blog has gotten a "country club" atmosphere by a few goobers that hang on this site 24/7.  

The kid id a solid player, but the obsession goes beyond that.  Its having the opportunity to flip another 5 star kid out of Ohio.....it feels more like psychological warfare just for the sake of it bothering Ohio fans. 

.....but I like it. 

only b/c it costed a field goal.....but your right.....lets wait and see. 

Beat Ohio

If a "kid" is old enough to join the military (the ultimate commitment)....I think a program should be able to hold him accountable when he makes a verbal commitment. 

Safe to say Mattison is worth every penny. 

What Exactly Do you Do Here?

But does anyone else feel like notre dame was the better team? Except we had the better coaches and better QB and that put us over the top. Not saying that its factual,but that was my mere mortal interpretation.

There is saying in design "elegance can be found in simplicity"....I believe this is a perfect example.

It Begins

...The old tom would consider parking his car in front of a potential recruits home to get the scoop a vacation.

Well I am sure with his fathers aspiring rap career they were looking strictly at academics. 

I think it was a tragic comment.

No your right......he'll have the dillusional buckeye fan base though. 

Hey Section 1.....why don't you and Dudeness just makeout and get it over with.

Its just the roster.....I know that skews things especially for Moeller and RichRod based on sample size......but if I wanted to do it based on recruiting classes I dont know where to find the recruiting data from 20 - 30 years ago.  

The Great Wall of Tressel is coming down

“

I believe the Michigan-Ohio border is now open. I think you're going to see eight or nine guys from the state of Ohio going over to Michigan this year.

”-- Michigan recruit Kyle Kalis

Here is some footage of Coach Hoke on vacation....

...I hear he is ok. 

.....everytime I'm waiting for an announcement.

Let me google that for you...

You shouldn't steal show topics from mike valenti on 97.1. They are discussing the same topic right now. Try being a little more original u douche nozzle.

Between the D-Line and asomugha shutting down half the field....I think they could pick up the slack for the other defensive deficiencies. Don't forget I still think they would sign another free-agent LB. So I think they would be Playoff contenders

I love the way this kid hits the hole....great technique!  Congrats on your Michigan offer Alden!

"This isn't even a sports guy, I dunno what it's doing on MGoBlog."

Hence the OT....if you wanna stick to pure sports related topics take your soap box to a thread not labeled OT. Based on the demographics of this blog....most people have grown up watching Dunn on television. Its pretty tragic when someone your age (relatively young) passes away regardless of why or who was at fault. Nobody asked for your sympathy.

Though is the car dealer is a former buckeye player who employs student-athletes providing a free ride to the compliance officer.

Does it bother anyone else that its in no specific order, but michigan is listed 3rd?

Not trying to be a dick....wondering if anyone else is neurotic like myself.

Apparenty Rich Rod was fired.....

http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/why-rich-rodriguez-was-fired

This was funny....

"I loved Ohio State believe it or not. I think they showed us the best time when we went there."

Ohhhh I bet they did, lol.

On a serious note Jordan Diamond is one of my favorite recruits in this class.  His mom seems like a real class act I am glad he has someone so grounded to guide him through his decision.....I hope he picks Michigan.

To me this is the big one...

"When asked why Archie, who did not immediately respond to voice mail messages, said he only spoke to Kniffin once and denied that the deals were approved by OSU compliance, Kniffin said, “That’s something you’ll have to ask him. I’ve got records of it.”

it looks like the deals were getting approved by the compliance office.....to me, this is the  cover-up. 

I'll be honest Tom....at first I was mad, but then I was happy...

Do a search on twitter for "Tressel" word is spreading like wild fire.

Here are a couple of videos I found,,,impressive to say the least!

...My sources tell me it would be wayne state...not eastern.

...from the title I thought that maybe some Detroit Tiger were at the Players Gentlemen Club on 8mile Road......

Royal Oak, Berkely, Birmingham

Need more cowbell dammit!

Mmmmmmmmmmm

.....and thanks for the kudos on the maps.  If you ever want some custom maps in the future let me know, but I'll probably be updating those after we get another 2 or 3 commits. 

...a while back.  It needs to be updated (esp. 2012), but it starts to paint a pretty good picture.

2010 vs 2011 vs 2012 Map

After this recruiting class closes out I'll go back and update this graphic.

No way zeke is coming here to play corner.

I heard when RichRod left he took some of the speed with him....

The guy took his time to state....

☑  What he observed.

☑ His thoughts on what he observed.

☑  Comaprisons to what he observed this year vs last year.

I don't see what the big deal is.

...if you could somehow extend it though

This shit is the bomb...

.....your not even a real fan.....you only have 240 points.

\sarcasm, jealousy, bitterness

.....over there.

This is a great article....for me to poop on.

Thanks for pointing that out for some reason the software I am using is putting Edgewood, KY on the eastern side of the state.......not sure why.  I'll have to manually fix that....Its been pointed out before and I keep forgetting

Man, and I thought having sex with my clothes on was crazy...

Hey OP I'm not trying to hijack your thread, but do some of the more knowledgeable recruiting guys think we could end up with a top 10 recruiting class?

....this is symbolic of your last comment.

Keep that jalopy of yours parked across the street.

Ever

Family Lineage is rich in music

.....is killin me

"schools aren't looking to hire a coach who is going to crash after a few months."

 - Not trying to be a Richard.....but this is a pretty ridiculous statement.  I think a large majority of schools would line up to hire this guy.

Magnus.....are you a dad?  That’s something my father would have said…..verbatim.

Prior military here....and when i was stationed in Germany you can find all of the guys huddled around there computers on the weekends watching their favorite sport teams back home...even when we were in Iraq thats how we spent a lot of days/nights during our off time.
