3 days 16 hours ago	All fair points	My point:  If you can't be down there to help pull people from rubble or rebuild that community, just give money, its the next best thing.
3 days 17 hours ago	Understand	I understand your viewpoint and do appreciate that there is genuine compassion and empathy on the board right now. Not debating that. I am suggesting that the banned user had a point. Compassion and self centered thought need not be mutually exclusive. Scan through the threads and see how many offer prayers, hopes, or other forms of passive aid as well as a story about themselves in a tragedy, in the military, working for charity, personal ties to tornados, etc. Many are unable to not make themselves the center of a topic. What does it matter if random blogger GoBlue123 once had an uncle with a store in Moore back in the 80s, or BeatOSU97 volunteered with the Red Cross. I can see how that would annoy some people.
4 days 5 hours ago	While the troll is getting bashed	I do understand his point.  A lot of people will discuss tragedy to find common sadness with others, hence making the group feel better, as if some sort of communal mourning is going on that will help alleviate suffering.  The whole thing can get a bit self involved with the, I feel sorry, no I feel more sorry, but I know somebody there, etc.  People tend to make things about themselves when it really has nothing to do with them. Also, prayer is a passive way to make yourself feel better.  Give the people money if you really want to help. All that being said, he was clearly looking for the reaction he got.
4 days 9 hours ago	I fully support this coaching staff
1 week 2 days ago	I won't melt down	Will just be completely heart broken.  I reserve meltdowns for when things shittier than expected or mean outcome occur.  (Appy State being the most obvious) Heart breaks occur when awesome thing almost happen, but I would be being greedy to expect them to happen. (Make Final Four but lose in championship game) Peppers and Hand to me would make us legitimate national championship contenders over the next few years.  They are game changers at positions where the SEC has seperated themselves from the rest of the country, DB and D-line.  Add them to our amazin O-line hauls and 4 star recruiting across the board and this reads like the most complete 3 year recruiting haul in the country outside of Tuscaloosa.  OSU is really, really good too, but have that glaring hole at O-line. With Peppers and Hand I believe we will have national title level caliber and depth.  Without them I think we are Big Ten Title caliber, but not ESS EEE SEE
1 week 2 days ago	Is his OSU offer still commitable?	Or did they find a faster guy out of Florida since only SEC speed will do for Meyer.
1 week 2 days ago	Sparty Unbuckled
1 week 2 days ago	Buckled
1 week 3 days ago	Yes but	How much of that have they spent on the players' salaries during his tenure?  Need a fair profitability measure for a true analysis.
1 week 3 days ago	meh	I am a big time cynic but this isn't exactly an entrepreneurial decision. Still something to be said for the network you can find at a university vs. chilling with your crew on the corner bustin out shitty tunes LOL at inability to see dead end decision here.
1 week 3 days ago	You don't like	that breathy lazy sounding unpronounced conglomeration of empty lyrics?  Sounds like a high and lazy high school kid ...oh, wait.
1 week 3 days ago	hahahaahahahahahahah	He's such a bad rapper too. HAHAHAAHAHA
1 week 4 days ago	He's Blue	Unless Meyer gave him a commitable OSU offer.
1 week 4 days ago	Um...	How bad is it at Colorado when a guy competing for the starting QB job decides to transfer to Akron??? Colorado and Washington are really the two schools that amaze me in how quickly they fell from relevance.  From 90's powerhouses to complete garbage programs.
1 week 5 days ago	Agreed...	I always look for the Alabama offer as the ultimate stamp of approval.  OSU is a good guage as well, being our main rival and within the same geographic region (would player X realistically leave the south or west coast to even visit the campus) I don't look at ND too much as somehow it seems we arent crossing paths with them that much these days on the recruiting trail, for whatever reason. Schools like Florida, LSU, USC, I look at, and focus on the position groups as well.  For example, if we pull in a defensive lineman that LSU was recruiting hard, or a DB that Florida was after, or a QB or RB that USC was on, I get even more impressed.
1 week 6 days ago	Remember that awesome year...	When Sparty went or the Rose Bowl? Yeah, me neither.
1 week 6 days ago	But Urban Meyer	Is the best recruiter ever and nobody in the Big Ten will be able to keep pace over the next decade. He will bring SEC competitiveness to the Midwest. - espn
1 week 6 days ago	Not to push our luck but	Any chance in hell Webb flips? That would be the ultimate dong punch to OSU
1 week 6 days ago	Yes	And it's no question, we still take D'shawn and Malik if they want in.

2 weeks 1 day ago	Blowout	MSU was able to bottle up our offense when it was Denard at QB.  Was a good matchup for them.  Gardner will expose them as he is an efficient passer and can break contain on scrambles.  Most of Denard's runs were designed and played into the aggressive Narduzzi blitz schemes.  Devin is a more balanced dual threat and now that he is polished they will not be able to contain the offense so effectively. Their offense is a pile of poop.  If they cant find a running game early they will be in big trouble. Michigan 27 - MSU 10
2 weeks 2 days ago	Absolute Joke	Any ranking that does not have Alabama #1 is a complete joke.  The Tide were not a senior laden team that built up towards a national championship.  This is a program that has won 3 of the last 4 national championships and has had the top 1 or 2 recruiting classes for like 5 straight years.  How can any analyst say this is not the best team going into the year?  Betting against Saban is not a good policy. And the team above them is a solid not great Big Ten team that nearly lost to a bunch of mediocre teams last year?  Uh, did this moron not watch the national title game and see what happened to a solid but luckily undefeated team against Alabama?
2 weeks 5 days ago	Eh	The work and achievements of Barwis, Mealer, and 3rd gentleman on stage are deserving of more than an Amway-esque rally.  Would like to hear more about the methods, hard work,  and physical and emotional process instead of what feels like a pep rally.  Felt a bit like a sales conference when there's so much more depth to explore here.
2 weeks 6 days ago	Southerner	I hope this doesn't mean we are going to start cheating.
3 weeks 3 days ago	Hail Hoke+ Mattison	They are building something very special with these last few classes. Going after the Alabama pro style Model with recruits just slightly less touted. Coached up, this will be a team competing for national titles...big, nasty, and fast. Given what Mattison did with subpar RR recruited talent ( not a knock on our players, just looking at nfl draft), it is hard not to get excited when extrapolating that coaching toward the last 2-3 classes. Borges and the offense will be the wild card. Clearly we have a lot of talent coming in to run their preferred system, and all things considered they were ok in handling the denard zone spread conundrum transition. This will be the first year we can truly and fairly judge Borges offense. My sense is, even if things don't totally click with the future qb's, having such a mamouth o-line will allow us to dominate 8-9 teams on the schedule annually by just plowing over them. A storm is a brewing in Ann Arbor, and because of all the focus on SEC, and Meyer and Kelly in the Midwest...it's kind of flying under the radar.

3 weeks 6 days ago	Cautious Optimism	If you've ever visited Stanford's campus, well let's just say it's holy shit beautiful.  He actually seems serious about academics and as good as Michigan is, well, Stanford is a top 5 undergrad University.  Now that their football is top tier, I put this at 60 - 40 Michigan.  Does he have family or any ties to California?  Distance could be a factor here.
3 weeks 6 days ago	And D-line	With Pipkins, Taco, and dare I say Hand up front.  That will be scary.
