| 2 years 38 weeks ago | Point taken. But do you |
Point taken. But do you dispute that the sum total of posts read as a pretty overwhelmingly witch-huntish? |
| 2 years 38 weeks ago | Okay, that's it. You simply |
Okay, that's it. You simply won't engage any debates, clearly, and prefer name-calling. Your right. What's funny is that I and my buddies are M grad students, assessing M blogs with an M professor as part of an M-sponsored study. We actually go to school here, alongside these players, two of whom are in our class. Call us all the names you want. |

I'm posing questions. Look at how quickly you resorted to name-calling. Countable hours and non-countable hours are pretty subjective, wouldn't you say? The point of the report is that peer pressure might be blurring the accounting lines. Big-time football programs have been known to blur things. Agreed? Maybe, just maybe, M has been. I don't know. Neither do you. |
| 2 years 38 weeks ago | The point is: I don't know |
The point is: I don't know all the facts. Nobody does. We weren't at practice. But several players have made serious claims -- maybe invalid, maybe not. We can't be sure just yet. Until the investigation reveals the truth, why is everyone so certain who is right and wrong here? |
| 2 years 38 weeks ago | Fair enough. So you don't |
Fair enough. So you don't think there's any chance that RR may have pushed it too far? No chance? RR has been 100 percent slandered? And all ten players are liars? |
| 2 years 38 weeks ago | Has it occurred to you that |
Has it occurred to you that maybe Lloyd hasn't said anything because Lloyd agrees with the allegations? Why is it that nobody here considers the possibility that M/RR actually may have done something wrong? Seriously. |
| 2 years 38 weeks ago | They said what they said, |
They said what they said, clearly. Doesn't matter how the question was asked, as long as the reply was on-point re the issue now at hand. You're making a false argument. |

Um, dude, please just make a pretense of fairness and accuracy: the Rivals article isn't by Rivals; it's by a writer for...Wolverine.com. |
| 2 years 38 weeks ago | Brian's Undisputed Truth |
Brian, you're still kind of dancing around three central points: *Anything resembling that much of a workout, on Sundays, is a violation. NFL teams don't lift weights on days after games. *Your beloved Angelique, at the News, confirms that M exceeded the hours permitted according to NCAA rules. *Just because Other Teams Do It doesn't make it right, especially at M, a school with a reputation for doing things the right way. Don't get me wrong: you're awesome and invaluable. But since you largely always take the RR line, and here seem disinclined to accept any part of the Freep story, you too should be view skeptically. Sometimes, at least. Admit it. Inasmuch as Rosenberg may or may not have an Agenda -- and I'm not sure that's entirely true, BTW -- you don't really pretend to view M with anything like true objectivity. You've become something of a de facto news-source, so... Just saying for all those who reflexively take every word you say as The Undisputable Truth. Obviously, I read you for a reason too. But let's take a breath here. |

So he's saying his son didn't actually say what he said? What the kid said was pretty clear and incontrovertible, and it's on tape. |
