4 days 23 hours ago	Cool	Just signed up for two years.  Thanks for the post!
5 weeks 6 days ago	One question	Who was the one recruit you lost to Michigan that you most wished had come to Osu?
6 weeks 3 days ago	ridiculous	From an admitted 'watch-nut' who spends way too much time online on watch websites, and way too $$$ on collecting watches, the price for this piece is totally out of wack.  The alligator straps are a reasonable price compared to others, i.e. Panerai OEM straps.  But for a no name watch company with a dressed up generic swiss movement, the prices are insane.   For this price you could buy a new Rolex Submariner,  which would likely be worth what you spent on it in 10 years, a well studied and well updated movement, containing an amazing number of 'firsts' in the watchmaking industry.  In addition, they promise to provide service for that watch for the next 25 years, and will definitely be around that long. Not that I love Rolex, but the value is much greater in terms of the piece itself, and the heritage.
20 weeks 1 day ago	AL	Yeah I'll say it, Borges has called a heck of a first half.  We'll see, but i'd love to see more denard and a few down the field shots with gallon or funchess.
26 weeks 3 days ago	The link to espn article	http://espn.go.com/colleges/michigan/football/story/_/id/8596531/michiga...
26 weeks 3 days ago	This was covered previously,	This was covered previously, but according to an ESPN article, we can apply for a medical redshirt at the end of any year.  We apply to the conference, not the NCAA.  So we should know at the end of this season once U of M applies for the redshirt. Regardless, at least Shane Morris will have a redshirt season (save injuries) before he needs to start.
27 weeks 2 days ago	Me too with Colorado	I almost left with my dad. I was 16. But at the last minute I said I wanted to watch from one of the gates and saw Westbrook come down with it in the end zone. I was in shock, but I'm glad I was part of such an amazing game. This year I got to see my first game winning field goal (MSU) and overtime game ever. What a great year!
28 weeks 6 days ago	I'm headed up for the game.	I'm headed up for the game.  Any 'must go' places?  i've heard the Big Ten bar.  Anything else in particular?  Is campus worth checking out?
29 weeks 21 hours ago	20-17 Michigan.   Total yards	20-17 Michigan.   Total yards 650
31 weeks 3 days ago	That's a dissappointment.	That's a dissappointment.  Better now than right before signing day.  Hopefully have some time to grab another OL.
32 weeks 2 days ago	I'm fickle.  You have	I'm fickle.  You have convinced me.  No way we beat Nebraska.
34 weeks 3 days ago	I agree.  Probably 2-3 of	I agree.  Probably 2-3 of those picks were forced by pressure from ND.  The fumble also was forced.  So pretty good on their part. It was the other 2-3 picks that did us in.
34 weeks 3 days ago	I would love to see Denard	I would love to see Denard have the record, he deserves it.  In ten years, it will be nice to see his name come up in the record books.  I won't remember yesterday, I'll remember UTL 2011.
34 weeks 3 days ago	Vincent Smith	They really did set up the vincent smith pass. The first posession they ran the same play, toss left to Fitz.  It went for a loss.  Then they try in with Vince to the right, and Manti Te'o read it all the way, rushed Vince, and he tried a jump throw.  I don't disagree with the call, I just wish Vince threw it away when it wasn't there.  A field goal would have been nice.
36 weeks 4 days ago	My take	Saw him outside the stadium with a brace on talking to his family. Seemed in good spirits though. Who knows, but I took it as a good sign that he didn't have anything really serious. Also saw jake Ryan saddle up on his moped to head home. Do the players get parking spots at Schembechler Hall?
36 weeks 6 days ago	Campbell	Maybe he'll get better. I mean, not good, but just ok. All season to work with the coaches and get tons of game experience. He has to get better, right? Right? Tell me I'm right. Anyone?
37 weeks 2 days ago	I don't know	Can we complain about burning redshirts on special teams and then also complain about injuries to starters that are playing special team roles?
37 weeks 2 days ago	Good news!	Good news on lewan and Moore
37 weeks 3 days ago	my thoughts...	I'm sure practice this week will determine if anyone will be moved into a starter's role.  I think we'll have to replace Countess for sure, not sure about Lewan and Moore, but more than likely we'll see a lot of the other TE's.  It would be nice to get Ramon Taylor more reps at CB and Gardner more reps at WR at this point.   the LB and DL issues that aren't injuries will be determined by who practices better this week. I would expect 1 or 2 switches for AF.
37 weeks 3 days ago	sounds like it's not season ending	I heard it's not a tear for Countess.  But no more info available.  Possibly back for ND.  I haven't heard anything about Lewan though.  And this is just info from more 'in the know' posters on other boards, so obviously no first hand sources.
37 weeks 3 days ago	Mealer seemed to do fine.  On	Mealer seemed to do fine.  On another site it was suggested that Mealer was a better shotgun snapper than Barnum.  Good to have depth I guess. Speaking of questions:  Does anyone know why Furman didn't make the trip?   As far as freshman playing, Hoke must feel like we need reinforcements now because by my count Wilson, Pipkins, Jenkins-Stone, Ross, Ojemuda, Norfleet, Funchess, AJ Williams all played.  Perhaps Richardson too, not sure on that one.
37 weeks 5 days ago	I agree	MSU 31-17.  Boise has too many spots to fill.  This would have been a great game last year.
37 weeks 5 days ago	Colorado	Colorado 1994 with my Dad.  We were about to leave and I watched the last play from the exit above the endzone where the hail mary was caught.  I remember not thinking it was a big deal until we got back on the bus, but then the crushing defeat sank in.  I was just in shock.
38 weeks 4 days ago	Waiting for ACL surgery	I believe that it is directed to wait for surgery on a torn ACL for the swelling to subside.  Also you are directed to strengthened the other surrounding muscles as well prior to the repair. http://www.toc-stl.com/info/acl.htm "When should my surgery be performed? ACL surgery is not an emergency.  In fact, it is extremely important that we delay your surgery until some of the inflammation in your knee quiets down.  The goal of waiting is to allow you to regain full motion back in your knee prior to surgery.  In general, this  takes 2 to 3 weeks for most patients, but it can vary.  The reason to wait until full motion is achieved is that loss of motion before surgery can make it more likely for the knee to become stiff after surgery.
40 weeks 3 days ago	Diet	I love Craig Roh, but those dietary ideas are the most ridiculous that I have heard. But whatever works!
50 weeks 2 days ago	Hmm...	Did you just get your new ticket option?  I'm waiting for mine.  I heard they'd email in June.
1 year 6 days ago	Patterson house	This speakeasy (patterson house) is hard to find but serves the best high end cocktail I've had and I've tried everywhere. Like I said, it's tough to find, because it is intentionally not well marked. But the best. A good place to start. Noshville would be great for a hung over breakfast. Finish your night at the red door near campus.
1 year 11 weeks ago	that's reasonable.	Fair enough, I have my answer.  Thanks.
1 year 12 weeks ago	Bears	Definitely Junior Hemingway.  They need a #1 and a #2 receiver.  I'm ok with Floyd in round #1 and Hemmingway in #3 if he's available.
1 year 13 weeks ago	I was worried about that too.	I'd hate to lose him now that things are going so well for recruiting and on the court.  I hope he has another 10 years in him.
