2 days 21 hours 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
2 days 22 hours 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.
2 days 22 hours ago	Sparty Unbuckled
2 days 22 hours ago	Buckled
3 days 15 hours 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.
3 days 15 hours 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.
3 days 15 hours 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.
3 days 16 hours ago	hahahaahahahahahahah	He's such a bad rapper too. HAHAHAAHAHA
4 days 16 hours ago	He's Blue	Unless Meyer gave him a commitable OSU offer.
5 days 2 hours 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.
6 days 53 min 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.
6 days 17 hours ago	Remember that awesome year...	When Sparty went or the Rose Bowl? Yeah, me neither.
6 days 22 hours 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
6 days 22 hours ago	Not to push our luck but	Any chance in hell Webb flips? That would be the ultimate dong punch to OSU
6 days 22 hours ago	Yes	And it's no question, we still take D'shawn and Malik if they want in.

1 week 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
1 week 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?
1 week 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.
1 week 6 days ago	Southerner	I hope this doesn't mean we are going to start cheating.
2 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.

2 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.
2 weeks 6 days ago	And D-line	With Pipkins, Taco, and dare I say Hand up front.  That will be scary.
2 weeks 6 days ago	I agree	A true Michigan man never celebrates or boasts.
2 weeks 6 days ago	Respect to Dantonio	Call him a douche, call him an asshole, but he took a 2nd rate Big Ten program and gave them an identity.  While it is unfortunate that this identity hinges almost entirely on how they perform against Michigan, he did manage to beat us 4 years in a row.  Saying 3 of those years were agains RR etc, is a lame excuse as we would not allow them to write off all their losses to years of incompetent coaching (John L. Smith, etc.).  For a school that has never been relevant nationally, he knows that beating big brother which is a national brand is the best bet at getting exposure. Point being, while he's a grumpy asshole, have to give him credit as a defensive genius and someone capable of instilling pride and belief in a very mediocre program.  Unfortunately for him, the talent gap between UM and MSU will be too much to coach through going forward.  He missed out on that OSU job when he peaked.  If he doesnt get a better job offer next year He will fade towards anonymity as that program is headed towards a steep decline.  OSU, ND, and Michigan will raid all local talent.  His top 25 to 30ish classes will be competitive but once every 4 years against our top 5 hauls.
3 weeks 5 days ago	You nailed it.	That's just dead on.  Rock Stone factories?
3 weeks 5 days ago	Drinking buddy	Can't peg him for a profession, but would be a hell of a drinking buddy.
