First of all Andrew Luck is a REDSHIRT SOPHOMORE. But anyway, on to your question. I can't speak for others that want Harbaugh, but I think your question raises an important point. Some say that people only want Harbaugh because he went to UM, but as you say, people weren't clamoring for him before now. As for me (a person who wants JH to replace RR), I supported RR from day one. I liked the hire and was excited about it. I thought at the time it was too soon to hire Harbaugh. After Stanford had a decent run last year and we had a losing record again, I still supported RR and was willing to give him another year. I also knew that if JH kept it up and RR kept losing, I was going to want him to coach here. Then after this year, when Harbaugh lost his Heisman Trophy runner-up RB and yet improved his team's record to 11-1, while our team got either pasted or beat handily by the top half of the Big Ten, I knew it was time for a change. Harbaugh has proven himself now and has done enough to earn the coaching position at Michigan. If we hired him three years ago, I honestly think we would be in much, much better shape than we are in now, but he hadn't done enough at the time. We didn't know he was this good of a coach. Now we do and it's time for him to come home. |

Can it not be true that we both needed a transition and that RR is not the right person? What have you seen to be convinced that we are going to be dominant in recruiting? What have you seen that suggests we are going to contend for national championships? I think you really just assume this stuff but after watching our team for 12 games, we don't seem close to competing for a top 3 finish in the Big Ten, let alone a MNC. We definitely aren't burning up the recruiting trail. I agree we needed some sort of change but that doesn't mean we chose the right guy to do it. |
| 2 years 25 weeks ago | But his thread title stated |
But his thread title stated that Wojo was "at it again," presumably meaning he was again suggesting Rod should be fired. I think that is the part with which the second poster was taking umbrage. Even the most ardent supporter of RR can no longer say that people calling for his ouster are out of line. |
| 2 years 26 weeks ago | I think that is what is so |
I think that is what is so distressing--the "had the offense started earlier" excuse can be applied to 3 of our 4 losses (our offense against MSU never really came around). One or two slow starts is expected but three starts to seem like a pattern, We can debate the reasons until we are blue in the face but the fact remains that when we needed our offense to keep pace with the other teams', it didn't. |
| 2 years 26 weeks ago | going to a bowl |
we are supposed to celebrate this? you only need to win 50% of your games to make a bowl. you have to basically try not to make a bowl. |

Bruce Feldman said on the radio this morning that Mizzou to the B10 is pretty much a done deal. Apparently he said it on KOMC. |
| 3 years 3 weeks ago | That wouldn't be the case |
There is no way OSU wouldn't automatically be on our schedule. That's only 3 conference games in your division, so there are 5 others to be filled. I'd guess there would be one locked-in opponent for us and the other 4 would rotate. Not sure how it would work logistically, but I see no way that the B10 would ever do away with UM/OSU on an annual basis |

can't take stupid fucking penalties like that when you are trying to get to the frozen four. completely unnecessary |

| 3 years 9 weeks ago | I get back to A2 for at least |
I get back to A2 for at least one game every season and I will be there for the first night game without a doubt. There is a different feeling in there when the sky is pitch black. Maybe it was because of how they finished, but the walk back to campus in the dark after thrilling OT victories over PSU and MSU were amazing. Really hope that this is true. |
| 3 years 10 weeks ago | SONA |
If you want to indulge, then go to Sona and get the tasting menu. The chef is David Myers and he is amazing. I have only been once, but it was by far the best (and most expensive) meal I have ever had. It is on La Cienega just north of Beverly Blvd and you will not be disappointed. Other Favorites: --Umami Burger (few different locations in Hollywood. quite possibly the best burger in town, if not the hippest) |

I can report that his hands aren't the only part of Ralph's anatomy that is gigantic. I had a membership to a gym on Eisenhower and State my senior year and Ralph had one there too. Let's just say that he was not a fan of wearing anything but super tight, hiked up spandex when he worked out and I saw a lot more of Ralph Williams than I ever wanted to. My favorite teacher was definitely Matt Lassiter. Loved his use of pop culture to teach history. Very informative and entertaining lectures |

I'm very intimated with the size of Infinite Jest. I get anxiety thinking about opening to the first page. I'm going to do it though once my Kindle comes in the mail. This way I won't have to lug that thing around |
| 3 years 16 weeks ago | Anything Russian |
Love the suggestions everyone. Anyone have any suggestions on books about Post-Communist Russia? I'm fascinated with it, especially after Scott Anderson's article in GQ: For those that are haven't heard about it, Anderson wrote this piece on the FSB apartment bombings that took place around the turn of the Century. The reason that I didn't provide a GQ link is because you can't find it on their website. They ran the article, but tried every way possible to bury it. Here's an NPR article on why Conde Nast buried it and tried to make sure it wasn't read in Russia: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=112530364 It's fascinating stuff and Anderson's investigative article is amazing. |

RR's WVU teams putting up big points on bad teams. I think he will let the guys score points and I think it will be a lopsided win |

You're aiming too low. We can get there in 2011 |

| 3 years 36 weeks ago | Correct Shock |
Who said they are to play at the same time? We can have both, like nearly every other team in CFB and we should have both. |
| 3 years 36 weeks ago | While you are certainly |
While you are certainly correct that there is a lot of football left to be played, half the fun is getting carried away and dreaming of big victories, being part of the B10 Championship race, making to a NYD bowl and of course, beating up on OSU. Now, the players on the other hand, they need to concentrate on EMU and EMU only. Us? Let's dream big. |
| 3 years 36 weeks ago | Which is exactly |
why we should have piped in music that the players like. They are the most important part of the equation. Not the people in the stands (though it helps the fans get hyped as well). |
| 3 years 36 weeks ago | Keep the Music |
I used to be against it. But at the WMU game, I saw how it pumped up the crowd and the players. I am sure this was intensified during the ND game. I know there are those that suggest we shouldn't need music to get the crowd going, but the fact is that it helps. And I don't understand how anybody, after the glowing reports about noise in our stadium, would want to change anything that helps that process along. Keep the music and let it get the crowd and players rowdy for the next play. |
| 4 years 33 weeks ago | Fake Handoffs |
The play that was most representative of our difficulty defending the fake handoffs, is when they ran one in the red zone, and B Graham absolutely blew up the running back that got a fake and headed toward his side of the line. John Thompson was coming from the other side and could have tackled Juice but he obviously thought that the RB got the ball...the RB who was already in the arms of B Graham. Instead of tackling Juice just to be sure, JT runs by him and heads over toward BG who already has taken this runningback down. I was seriously in awe about this play. I rewound it 4 times just because I was so shocked. JT knew that BG already had the guy and headed over to either celebrate or i don't know what. If he goes after Juice instead of running toward BG, its a loss of 5. Instead, they got a big gain (might have been a td, I don't remember) To me, this was the play that showed just how ineffective we were going to be against Juice and Co. |

| 4 years 45 weeks ago | yea I'm with you | I was the same way C. I was very happy that it was 'meh' instead of what we were hearing just prior to him and would have been much happier with him than Grobe, Hoke, Ferentz etc. It just didn't compare to the excitement I had upon hearing we might get Rodriguez |
| 4 years 45 weeks ago | Go back to December 1 | Would any of you say you preferred Schiano to RR? I know it may be hard to do now, because RR is now the guy, but I remember when the reports started to come out that Schiano was going to be the coach. I had to literally work hard to get myself excited for the hire. I was a bit lukewarm on it, but eventually came around to the idea just as we were told he was not going to be our coach. I am much happier to have RR as the coach. I was immediately excited and shocked when his name surfaced. (As Chris Matthews would say, I felt a tingle go up my leg...) |
