Date Title Body
2 days 10 hours ago Because NBA teams never put out

smoke screens and horse manure about whom they are going to pick before a draft!       

5 days 15 hours ago The Next Isaiah Thomas????

The smiling assassin returns! Hope Burke becomes that guy for the Pistons!

1 week 2 days ago Pats n Tebow

Bet it turns into a good deal for both sides....Pats front office and coach have a pretty good track record for acquiring and utilizing talent!

2 weeks 12 hours ago Coaching and Resouces

It is all about getting the right coaches and the right resources and finding what you got to sell to move it on up. See recent history of NW, Kansas State, Boise State, and recent recruiting success of some of the lesser SEC teams. Ability to identify and coach up players to get you started as was done by coaches above. Every year we see lots of players drafted into NFL from no name schools. Talent is there, you just got to be able to know it when you see it....

2 weeks 1 day ago Gee retires.....

Comedians every where mourn the loss of another great source of material! Gee was beloved by the OSU students and donors, and a frequent attendee at student parties. There are far worse things to be! Maybe Brandon will take OSU Prez job????!!!!!!! LOL!

3 weeks 4 days ago To quote Emerson, Lake n Palmer...

Ohhhh, what a lucky man he was!

3 weeks 5 days ago Question was favorite QB, not best!

Read the question before judging answers ....

3 weeks 5 days ago Wangler: Whip out the Wang!

   Bo's first Rose Bowl win, best QB cheer in Michigan history outlined above, our first passing QB in my lifetime, the 45 yd TD pass to AC to beat Indiana with 6 seconds left, the excitement in the stadium when he came in to replace BJ Dickey, seeing our QB actually be able to truly throw the ball.....So, my favorite by far!

4 weeks 1 day ago One Guy decides

To go to a smaller school known for its beautiful women and all you geniuses are certain there must be cash behind it....Michigan will be fine without Treadwell, and when he makes a catch to keep Alabama out of the playoffs the karma will all even out.....

4 weeks 1 day ago Guess you never.....

Went to Oxford, MS for a football game. Ole Miss is where they redshirt Miss Americas, which should be of great interest to most Michigan men!

4 weeks 1 day ago We are discussing fans here, not players and coaches....

Players and coaches should always have intensity for a Michigan vs OSU game in anything, but fans and alumni need to learn that the best way to truly drive them Buckeyes nuts is to ignore them the rest of the year....What got OSU back was Tressel recruiting better talent while we slipped in terms of talent in the late Carr years and RR years....

4 weeks 1 day ago Good Point on Rutgers

http://www.rutgershockey.com       Seems they have a University team in the ESCHL, so maybe they will be part of the B1G for hockey in a few years.....

4 weeks 1 day ago You'd think a Michigan blog....

would be kind to a small SEC school that is absolutely no threat to us and that is taking away talent from places like Alabama and LSU and not us for the 99% part.  Maybe the guy is just a pretty damn good recruiter and is trying to place his school in the best light.  Not like he is Nick (the Devil) Saban or Brian (Insert yelling at player here) Kelly.  Here is hoping they beat Alabama in 2013!  Go Rebs!

4 weeks 1 day ago Speculation: Next B1G Hockey Team(s)???

Guys, Seems to me that we need at least 1-2 additional schools in the B1G to add hockey in the next 4-5 years or so.  Is that feasible?  Does it make sense?  (I think it would be to add what we might call inventory to B1G network)  Who would add it?  Northwestern?  I think there must be a longer term plan than just having less than half the conference with a team in a particular sport.

4 weeks 1 day ago Best thing to do, Ignore Ohio...

Nothing drives Ohio State alumni and fans (take it from a guy banished to live amongst the heathen for the last decade) more crazy than simply telling them the truth, and that is that Michigan alumni and fans should ignore Ohio except when we play them.  Don't be like the slappys who live in Ohio and define yourself and your love for your team by rooting against anyone else.  What truly hurts them is when you ignore Ohio State...like we got to do basically during the Cooper years...We need those kind of years to come back!  My focus is Michigan, Michigan, Michigan, and the rest of the B1G and the country are just fodder for the only team that counts!

4 weeks 1 day ago Ask Ole Miss.....

That is what true overachieving looks like, for us, it is return to business as usual!

4 weeks 1 day ago Lions play winner?

And lose!

4 weeks 4 days ago But still good news!

Never can we abuse the ND chickens too much!

9 weeks 6 days ago Fine Post Ace

Some people think the site is all about them, as opposed to all about all of us!

9 weeks 6 days ago Move On?

It has been only three days, and we have people on here still discussing RR....have a little patience after taking 20 years to get back to a basketball championship game

14 weeks 3 days ago Free Throws....

Death by missed free throws with a chance to close it out....It happens, now must win B1G tournament!

14 weeks 3 days ago Free Throws....

Death by missed free throws with a chance to close it out....It happens, now must win B1G tournament!

14 weeks 3 days ago Freshmen....

Playing hard, playing tough, so stop whining about them......

18 weeks 3 days ago As always, you miss.....

the point, oh ye of obvious obtuse thought and inability to see what is painfully obvious to the rest of the intelligent world, is that the matter is moot, there is no smoking gun of evidence to be found to take away the already handed out verdict nor to do anything to exonerate Joe Pa who has no defense as all you could possibly say is that he either knew what was going on and did little to nothing, in which case he is a lying sack of crap, or he did not know and should have known, in which case he was a proverbial idiot of the first degree, and you and all those who want to continue to debate the issue somehow thinking that the standard of proof for deciding that Mr. Paterno is guilty is the same as that for a criminal trial are full of the proverbial wit and wisdom normally attributed to those who flunk out at MSU.....

His statue is gone, his legacy tarnished, and the evidence is fairly convincing that he knew what was going on but put damage control short term over doing what was right when his own personally promoted image was otherwise.  He and his family can join you and whine all the way until the Lord returneth, but it is and will be a waste of time whether you have any respect for the court of public opinion or the facts in evidence or not.

18 weeks 3 days ago Point...

If anyone knows how to get under Urban Meyers skin and psyche it would be Mattison based on his experience with Urban....

18 weeks 3 days ago Court of public opinion

At this point, both a criminal court and the NCAA and the B1G and the court of public opinion have all spoken, and all come to the same conclusion, so your whining, much like that of the Paterno family and PSU and PA governmental officials is moot!

18 weeks 3 days ago Boys....

Paterno is dead, the court of public opinion and the NCAA have spoken, and all the horse manure pumped out by Paterno apologists including his family and the state of Pennsylvania are not going to change this one iota.  Ignore them and let them flap their gums in the wind, that is all they are doing as they are simply engaging in self-masturbatory delusional speculation that matters not a bit.

18 weeks 3 days ago Those attitudes.....

come from experience, and we have to get it through our heads that our freshmen from McGary to Stauskas to GRob3 to Van Wert are going to have to learn how to play college ball and are going to experience growing pains.  You lose two games by two three pointers that go in for them and not for you, one on a definite miracle 1 in 50 or more shot, and all the analysts come out and question their coaching, their work ethic, their mental attitude.....Get real, the top 5 teams all went 0 for whatever on the road this week....Home court refereeing advantage is huge....Beilein had it right in his post game comments, question is what did we learn as a team and as individual players from the last two games.  Either we get better and learn, or we keep pounding our heads into the wall and suffer more losses.

18 weeks 3 days ago Panic.....

You guys are way too worried about one kid making a single decision on where he wants to go to college and play football.  OSU will get their players, and we will get ours and sometimes they will get people we want and sometimes we will get people they want.  Get over it....We expect that OSU and UM will continue to both get top 10 classes most of the time, and thinking that Meyer or Hoke will likely move that needle much from what it has historically been long term is sheer foolishness.  Some kids will prefer one to the other, or one school to the other, and that will not change.  Real question is likely more one of individual talent evaluation by both staffs, and the ability to find players who can be and will be coached up and developed.  I trust Mattison and Borges and the entire Michigan staff more than I trust the entire OSU staff to be able to do that based on what I have seen from this staff so far, so should all of you.
