6 weeks 4 days ago	When was the last time the	When was the last time the Lions "not doomed"? In all seriousness, may your retirement proves more enjoyable than your professional career, Legatron.
11 weeks 22 hours ago	Renewed Emphasis on Southern Recruiting?	First of all, welcome back! Currently, Fred Jackson is the point person for Detroit / Flint / Tri-Cities recruiting.  With Roy's Saginaw roots, does he take over the in-state role, and let Fred return to his previous Louisiana / Texas territory?  Michigan was shut out in 2013 south of the mason/dixon.
12 weeks 3 days ago	What would Jud do?	From an MSU messageboard... "In one of the games during Kevin Willis' career at State (early to mid-80's), Willis was charged with a flagrant foul, a call Jud did not especially agree with. During the postgame interview, with the cameras rolling and the reporters scratching notes, Jud continued bemoaning the call, going on about how it wasn't a "flagrant" foul. This prompted one of the reporters to ask Jud what his definition of a flagrant foul was, and the coach paused a moment, looked up, and then said (completely deadpan), "Well, I suppose if you kick a guy in the gonads, that would be a flagrant foul."" Izzo and Hollis need to give Jud a call.

Recruit Kate Upton to attend the U of M, convince her to spend the next four years as Coach Hoke's "headset holder" during games, and the recruiting hostess.  Then spend the next 50+ years populating the US with smart, beautiful, and loyal Michigan fans.

1 year 4 weeks ago	Jeraold Robinson had just	Jeraold Robinson had just spent an hour studying biology with his blonde, leggy, ex-volleyball player turned tutor in the football office.  He just realized that his fiance's book club meeting has just ended, and he needs to be home now to keep the child support police from digging into his scholarship check.  He drive his harley up to the gate, insert his stained ticket, and wait for the gate to open. It doesn't. "Where are the gate operators?" "Hello?" "Help?" Suddenly, the seriousness of his situation dawns on him. He panicks. If he doesn't make a move now, he'll be a prisoner of the child support laws for 18 yrs. A mix of determination, moxie, and sheer terror propel him to accelerate the harley toward the gate, "No motherfucking gate can hold Jerald motherfucking Robinson in!"  He felt the engine explode with power. The vehicle lurches forward, smashing his face into the gate, breaking it into fragments which spill onto the pavement. Realizing what had happened, he called his tutor, who then arranged for a cover-up with a campus cop... Trouble...

The URB will need to score off-the-charts in the a--hole meeting for the Columbus press to turn on him like the Freep did on RR.
