Rutgers doesn't deserve to be associated with Michigan. It's a fourth tier school with garbage sports and miserable fans. Kick them out and get a decent school. That old hag Delaney can kiss our asses when the current TV structure implodes. I hope he dies unhappy.
I wouldn't be surprised if 25,000 are trying to attend. The stadium and campus simply can't accommodate. I'm looking out of the stadium now and it's complete gridlock. Honestly if you are close, get out and walk the last few miles. Looks like Woodstock out there.
I also saw a few groups of HS coaches attending. I believe Braden River's staff was sitting next to me. I talked to them about their team and possible recruits. Offered to mentor anyone who was a 4* or above.
At practice now, there have to be 15,000 people here. Took me an hour to go the last 5 miles to the stadium. The entire town of Bradenton seems to be gridlock. Saw a few recruits and talked to a few about Ann Arbor. Also saw Dylan Moses. He looks VERY athletic.
As soon as Dave Brandon assigns him the #1 jersey. Hopefully it will work out as well for him as the #98 did for Devin. Honor Michigan Tradition...by assigning "Legend" jerseys to guys who have played 4-5 games. If DB was playing now he'd probably get one too.
Ok. Slave: "someone who is legally owned by another person and is forced to work for that person without pay, "a person held in servitude as the chattel of another," "one that is completely subservient to a dominating influence." http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/slave?show=0&t=1379865969 Or: "Slavery is a system under which people are treated as property to be bought and sold, and are forced to work. Slaves can be held against their will from the time of their capture, purchase or birth, and deprived of the right to leave, to refuse to work, or to demand compensation. Historically, slavery was institutionally recognized by many societies; in more recent times slavery has been outlawed in most societies but continues through the practices of debt bondage, indentured servitude, serfdom, domestic servants kept in captivity, certain adoptions in which children are forced to work as slaves, child soldiers, and forced marriage." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery So you're contention is that a college athlete, who, by his choice alone, plays a sport and is compensated with a free education, room and board, tutoring, entrance into top academic schools and numerous other benefits associated with being a college athlete is a slave? They are not owned, they may leave at any time. They are compensated (to the tune of $200,000+ if they are out of state, $120,000+ if in-state). Yes, perhaps you can argue that they lose the rights to their image or "work," so too do graduate students and employees of most companies. They cannot be bought or sold (unless they agree to under the table payments...more compensation). Perhaps YOU should look up the definition. The hyperbole really hurts your argument. Simplify it to allowing them to own their image, sell their rings, etc and you might have a valid point.
Hmmm, interesting way to garner funds to pay players quietly. Wasn't it LSU that had some issue with casino money being directed towards the program a few years ago?
Why the fuck should a wrestler be compensated? For doing what exactly? And I'm sorry, I can't hear these athletes bitching over the sounds of creditors calling about my $10,000s of student debt. These whiners don't even value their education. What, 90% of football players are general studies majors (or whatever they call it this year to make it sound more presentable). Good luck getting a job with that. Why not just eliminate college athletics all together and let Michigan field a team of professionals who don't have to "waste" their time in school and won't drag down a schools overall academics (I know at Michigan they are a small blip, but schools like Wake Forest have a significant % of their student body playing sports)? (Sorry that sounded harsh, I know some/many/most college athletes value their education, but the ones complaining about not getting paid are most likely the ones who don't.)
Serious question: can college athletes take out normal student loans? What, 70-80% of other college students take out loans and go into DEBT to have the opportunity to get a college degree and athletes (not even just football players at the 20 schools which have ADs in the black) want their entire lives funded, PLUS MORE? Here's an idea too all these college athletes: let's go full America and let the free market decide what you deserve. No more athletic scholarships. The schools can pay you whatever they want. Mark Ingram gets $3 million a year. A men's tennis player? Well, he's gotta start paying for court time and for gas money to get to his games. Even more fun: let's not have these insanely low admissions standards for athletes and see if they can even get themselves accepted in the first place. In my perfect world, the schools keep the sports which, overall, add value to the school (noteriety, donations, advertisements, etc), which would probably be football, basketball and hockey at Michigan. Then use the surplus of AD money and give scholarships to deserving students who can't afford tuition or use it to steal great students away from schools like MIT, CalTech or Harvard to better Michigan's academics.
Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize that tennis players, golfers, swimmers, soccer players, baseball players, etc. were risking injury. The argument MUST be defined as paying FOOTBALL PLAYERS or PAYING ATH-O-LETES. There is a discussion to be had about paying football players, but if I see a G-d damn tennis player getting a full ride, tutoring, easy access to getting into school, free room and board, AND a salary I'll shit myself. Sorry, take out a loan like 75% of normal college students. Stop your bitching. No one is forcing you to get a free education, play a game, and add NOTHING to the University.
Pull your head outta the sand. Gardner was, what, 11/23 with 3 TOs and a few other close fumbles? He looked like HS QB out there. This team is in trouble. We slipped by the TWO WORST TEAMS IN DIV-I BY 4 AND 3 POINTS. This is NOT A GOOD TEAM. Lewan's bullshit didn't change anything last week and it won't change anything this week. Devin is weak minded and generally incompetent. Hoke shows no passion and hasn't motivated the team for TWO STRAIGHT WEEKS. Borgers has called two shit games in a row. And you're going to tell me everything is hunky-dory?
Get your head out of your ass you homer. They beat AKRON on a goal line stand and snuck by the second worst team in FBS tonight. This team is NOT GOOD.
UConn's overrated chant is compeltely correct. This team should not be ranked. Akron by 4 and UConn by 3? What an embarassment. And Lewan? You can shut it with your Tebow speeches. This team deserves to have their wings removed, though I doubt Brady could show enough emotion to do so. We'll be lucky to get five wins in the B10.
UConn's QB is miles better than Gardner. This is sad. Heads need to ROLL this week. What an embarassment. Lewan especially. "We won't let this happen again." Liar. Who wants to pay these guys this week? They don't deserve paychecks.
So much for Lewan's big bad speech about stepping the team's game up. They stepped down. This is an embarassment. They should all have their wings taken away for these shit performances. DISGUSTING.
This has to be the worst ranked team in the country. This just shows how stupid the rankings are. We are the new ND. Ranked because of the name with zero substance.
And it would cost, what, $50,000 to send the band to Dallas but Brandon thought the AD couldn't afford it. "Oh, that's only $.50 extra per ticket for one game." This guy knows NOTHING of the Michigan brand. I hope he gets booed next week as he glad hands around the field and tries to get himself on tv like a six year old boy.
Yeah, like David "Multimedia" Brandon. This + the fraudulent season ticket sales should light a fire under his ass. I wrote a letter, but since I don't donate $10,000+ a year, I doubt he gives a shit. All about the benjamins, right Brandon? This guy is a piece of work. He manages to NOT FUCK UP the hiring process of a head coach of Michigan and expects to be sitting free and clear for the next decade? The guy is scummy beyond belief. I can't wait for MORE ads to be in the Big House. Maybe he'll put the macaroni statue on the field next time.
It's absolutely childish. It's cute if it's simply a rich alumnus making a joke, but not when it's a concerted effort by the UM AD. Maybe David should've been paying attention to the number of basketball season tickets sold rather than coming up with idiotic ways to troll MSU. Congrats, he got garbage playing time (if that) and now thinks he's the end all and be all. Fucking childish.
I've personally seen him cheat on his wife. Which makes me sad that a man like that can find a woman he'd cheat on his hot, bimbo wife with. Damn, when you find a hot blonde with a 75 IQ, you stick with it.
That might be going too far but Tebow does seem like a good guy and nothing has come out to show otherwise. Unless ya'll have some other evidence, he's a good, upstanding guy in my book. Just because he could bang any girl on Florida's campus and didn't (which makes you suspicious), makes me more impressed. Damn, all that extra testosterone helped.
What were the terms given when buying the tickets? If it's anything questionable, the law school has clinics that are designed to help people for nearly free, I'm sure they would love to look at it. I'd also love to see legal action taken against this AD.
He was too busy making those two assisted tackles against AKRON to continue stealing electronics. Plus, he only steals laptops from "fellow" Michigan students.

Do Wayne State students get "Under Fire" bonuses?
Hmmm, interesting way to garner funds to pay players quietly. Wasn't it LSU that had some issue with casino money being directed towards the program a few years ago?
Is there supposed to be a /s there? 3 carries for 12 yards and 1 TD on the year. One of those carries was for 9 of the 12. http://espn.go.com/college-football/player/_/id/511699/thomas-rawls Not exactly a world beater yet.
Key word: SOME.

Go study some bugs loser.

Does he know anything about offense? I really didn't imagine myself hating a coordinator more than him, but it may be happening.

Even our kicker sucks.
Woooo! We're back baby! I don't care if Gardner is injured at this point, he's hurting the team more than he could possibly hurting.
FUCK THIS. PUT SHANE IN. GARDNER IS FUCKING GARBAGE. HE IS AN EMBARASSMENT TO TOM HARMON'S LEGACY!
http://www.freep.com/article/20130914/SPORTS06/309140068/michigan-wolverines-akron-zips LEWAN SAYS THEY WON'T COME OUT LIKE THIS AGAIN. FUCK THIS TEAM AND FUCK HIM. GREAT CAPTAINCY LEWAN
THIS TEAM IS THE FUCKING WORST I'VE SEEN SINCE 2008. AN EMABARASSMENT TO THE UNIVERSITY.
IS HE FUCKING RETARDED?! GOD DAMN THIS FUCKING TEAM! TAKE THEIR WINGS AWAY NOW!!!!!!!!!!
HOLY SHIT PUT IN SHANE. FUCK IT, PUT ME IN, I COULDN'T POSSIBLY BE WORSE.
Hey guys... TOWSON beat UConn.
I think the coaching staff is waiting to open up the real playbook in B10 play. They don't want to show everything against inferior opponents.
GARDNER IS AN EMABRASSMENT TO TOM HARMON. GREAT LEGACY JERSEY IDEA BRANDON.
So much for Lewan's big bad speech about stepping the team's game up. They stepped down. This is an embarassment. They should all have their wings taken away for these shit performances. DISGUSTING.
This has to be the worst ranked team in the country. This just shows how stupid the rankings are. We are the new ND. Ranked because of the name with zero substance.
7-0. Halfway through the 2nd. This team is a joke.
"Devin is struggling" understatement of the year right there.
Who is worse, Jack Miller or Gardner?
UCONN hasn't had a sack ALL DAMN YEAR and they are TEARING through the line. This team SUCKS right now.
Just hope to get out of here with a win. Akron all over again, but this looks worse.
Nice blocking by Lewan there. Can't wait till B10 play. We'll be lucky to beat PSU at this point.
Gardner for Heisman.... LOLOLOLOLOLOL
Put in Shane. Gardner SUCKS. GRAT JOB MANNINGS... YOU BROKE HIM.

He's what? 5'11 with shoes on? Have fun now kid, you ain't making it in the NFL. Good for him for having fun. FUCK THA HATAS
Every major office? What about Obama?

Where was Frank Clark at the time?
