Ooops 2 |
| 23 weeks 5 days ago | Clarification |
Believe or not, I actually like Speight. I think will have an excellent year this year and hopefully next. I also think he will be better in the pros than Griese. I was referring to Griese as a senior versus Speight as a sophmore. Our 3 losses were Iowa, osu and Fsu. I think a senior Griese doesn't lose Iowa or Osu....Peppers not injured equals a win against FSU....FSU was as good as national champ Clemson by the end of the year ( Clemson 37-34)....so with just a little bit better QB play in 2 games....NATIONAL CHAMPS! QED.....By the way, Oline was not great but neither was Deveon....mistake not to play Evan's more |

| 23 weeks 6 days ago | Last year |
Replace Wilton Speight with lots of other QBs....for example Brian Griese....and we win it all |
| 31 weeks 3 days ago | I know |
My bank wouldn't let me deposit (its an international goofy site), even though I had before. I was going to bet $100 and if we won, I would have gotten $15,000!...I just deposited $100, so now I will get $2500...not bad actually and since Mobileye got sold today...that $100 is house money all day! |

Give us a Mike WIlliams or Dalvin Cook, and I think we win it all this YEAR!!!! |

When will the average layman learn what every football coach in America knows....skill players matters a GAZILLION times more than offensive lineman... |
| 41 weeks 5 days ago | OSU |
they might win it all, and then this year becomes even more disappointing |
| 45 weeks 2 days ago | undefeated |
I like Wilton Speight but if Brian Griese from 1997 was our QB this year....we don't lose a game |
| 1 year 13 weeks ago | Best game I ever went to... |
the weather sucked but we still tailgated for about 7-8 hours....Then we walked up to our seats in the Michigan section....the row behind us were 4 smoking hot chicks holding up a sign that said "OUR BEAVER IS BETTER THAN YOURS!"....I swear to God.....I found out they went to every game that year and knew football inside and out.....Unfortunately, I was married at the time and didn't close the deal.....in terms of the game, i remember several times looking at our defense and it seemed like waterboy stuff....Charles had 1/2 of the field "covered" and the other 10 guys had the other half covered.....Very happy day to say the least! |
| 1 year 27 weeks ago | was that class called "Real analysis" |
I got my master's in EE specializing in communications/info theory and signal processing. But they made us take that math course. That course proved 1>0 for the ENTIRE COURSE!!!! talk about proofs! |

Agree! That's a coach's son for you.... |
| 1 year 42 weeks ago | watch the video |
He is moving to his right and the ball fumbles forward and left relative to his motion...that's why he has to swing around....but actually your point even proves my point more! Without rugby motion the ball is just fumbled in front of him...therefore easy to grab and punt...but it's not easy because of his motion to the right |
| 1 year 42 weeks ago | the punt |
As everyone has pointed out...not being in max protect. But more importantly. ..was the rugby movement. I've watches it 50 times and there was a great analysis from J. Leman of BTN. The entire team was moving to the right including Oneill....the snap came a little low and to his left. He fumbles it to his LEFT. Since him and all blockers are moving right it puts that side of Sparties pass rush into play. He grabs ball and because of the rugby motion,he must swing around to kick it. A sparty guy knocks it out to another sparty ( a guy who was perfectly blocked by Braden!) And the rest is history. Without motion he fumbles it in front of him and doesn't have to swing around, he simply grabs and punts....no block happens....set up on max protect and do not do rugby motion and even with the fumble we win |
| 1 year 45 weeks ago | Here's a Cool story Bro |
I graduated from U of M in 1983 with a BSEE. I was pretty smart so I got a Fairchild Scholar. I worked for Fairchild Communications (on Satellites) outside of DC for 3 days a week and I got to go to Maryland for 2 days a week to get my MSEE (full salary). Maryland was so bad I couldn't stay even with that deal! I got a job at ERIM in Ann Arbor and came back and got my MSEE from U of M. Best decision I ever made :) |

Perfection |
| 1 year 50 weeks ago | I was there |
Section 127....in the middle of hard core Minnesota people....all I can say is that they were EXTREMELY nice....we partied before and after the game...our hotel....everywhere they all were so nice. ...excellent people |
| 2 years 2 weeks ago | I love my Bovada bets |
I placed alot on us early at various levels....150 to 1, 50 to 1, etc.....16 to 1 to win the B1G |
| 2 years 3 weeks ago | bavado |
I put $300 on us to win it all at 50 to 1....and $100 for us to win the B1G at 16 to 1...I'm liking my bets :) |
| 2 years 3 weeks ago | comparing to 1997 |
why not.....I think this year's Dline is better than 1997. Deeper and quicker and bigger. I don't think Renes, WIlliams and Steele are as good as Glasgow, Wormley and Henry....but most important is the backups! Taco, Hurst and Godin...sheez there was nobody like that in 1997. I DEFINITELY think the LBs from 1997 were far superior to this year's LBs. Dhani Jones and Ian Gold were my favorite michigan LBs ever (I am an old guy too!). Throw in James Hall and its a clear win for 1997. FInally, from what I have seen...even as amazing as Chuck was...this year's team has just a collection of studs at DB. Nobody on 1997 was anywhere as good as Peppers at Safety (sorry Marcus). Jarrod Wilson might lose a small battle to Hendriks. But when it comes to CB, its the depth that impresses me. Jourdan Lewis will play in the NFL and even though he loses to Chuck, so does everyone! Clark and Stribling are where you see the big difference. a 6'2" guy and 6'4" guy? Are you kidding me? Awesome...throw in Delano Hill and its just a machine of DBs...they can all tackle, press cover and play to their assignments. I know I'm crazy... but because of this, I see this year's defense as potentially better than 1997....still early but WOW |

They eat EVERYTHING and quickly...they have moved them about 5 times in a few weeks. Only down side is the "zoo" smell |

The whole thing is NON-Linear...your train experiement is Linear. As you go faster, the scale factor changes, it does not stay the same. That is hard for most of us to imagine, but thats the correct way to view this problem |
| 2 years 27 weeks ago | Interesting stuff |
Everything seems kind of what I would expect...except the "glitch" in your first plot where it is more likely to be a 7 year player in the NFL than a 4 year player. I will take a stab at a theory. Generally speaking, the plot should simply decrease as time goes by (age + injury potential). But at year ~4, some guys "figure out" how to be NFL players and stick another so many years. Those guys who figure it out last until the age/injury curve makes them leave and the curve goes back down. So the glitch is the guys who figure out how to be a professional. That being said, it might just be monetary or maybe based on contract length! |
| 2 years 30 weeks ago | I'll do my son |
He fell just short of getting a U of M football scholarship. He didn't want to leave the state for Purdue, Iowa or Minnesota. ...so he went to Western....they wanted him on Defense...he wanted to play RB....he made travel team his freshman year....3rd game of the year is against Michigan at the big house....2001....because he was easily the biggest back....they had him playing FB to simulate Michigan's offense for Western ' s Defense. So the week leading up to the game he did that....well 9-11 happened...they postponed the game....the following week while practicing at FB still he got rolled by an Olineman....snapped 3 of 4 ligaments in his knee...he never recovered and still has knee problems to this day.....FUCK OSAMA BIN LADEN |
