We're on the same wavelength man, thought the same thing. Unfortunately read your post after I posted mine...redundancy only reinforces the fact that J.Peppers is awesome.
I love the innovations that have been made with these new stadium designs. Strictly admiring it as a structure, it is incredible how such a mammoth thing can be moved and retracted. Soccer stadiums from around the world have been toeing the line of practicality, it's great to see the some new innovative designs being brought to the US. I wish more teams had retractable roof stadiums so weather can never be a factor and that it'll only be about the game.
And please, no talking about tax payer dollars, etc... politics are not welcome here.
I'm excited for this kid. I think he's got huge upside and great potential to be a serious weapon in our offense. Having Drake Harris and Mo Ways... great wide receiver haul for the '14 class. If Ways drops, then I think KJ would be next.
Fox News was just reporting from their local affiliate that there are around 60 to 70 dead. Damage reports from up to 4 blocks away. This is crazy, so much has happened in the matter of a couple days... this all just needs to stop. Too much tradgedy, too many people dieing. The video of the explosion is insane, never seen anything like that. Thoughts to all of those families
I don't care what people say or the pundants acknowledge... Michigan should have won this damn game and deserved to win this game. We were the better team, played better, and rose above the officiating the best we could. People say you can't blame officiating, in this case you'd be an idiot if you didn't. First time in a long time that I could say that the refs cost us the game. The style of officiating along with the completely blown calls! I'm sick, and Belein should address it... When the announcers address you, you know that it's obvious.

Professionals workout their entire lives to hit goals like this...this kid is just developing and is already beating pro records set by fully developed adults? It's obvious that there had to be something artificial going on here... 5 fakes out of 5. He did it, but not without "aid." Sorry kid
Even if I agree with what he says, I will still be petty and disagree. Jim Delany is an idiot. But anyways, I'm concerned that the O'Bannon lawsuit will win and lead to Pandora's box being completely blown open with the little integrity that's left in college athletics being lost. The current system is not the greatest, especially with the athlete's getting exploited through video games and apparell. I'm sure the Universities wouldn't go bankrupt if they paid athletes 2% of the revenue generated...but if O'Bannon wins, more problems will occur than be solved.
Would better players get compensated more?
Would their be salary caps and max contracts now?
Would they still get scholarships?
College athletics then becomes semi-pro athletic teams with a multitude of complications from money that will ruin the heart of the game. Idk...don't mind me, I'm all over the place.
While I value Kiper and Mcshay's opinions, they are not the gospel on projected NFL talent...nor am I... But, you don't draft solely for need and find "the best" at that position and draft him with your pick. Even if he is rated in the so called top 5, drafting a CB that high is a huge risk. A top 5 pick needs to be a no-doubt great contributer, and when I watch Milliner I don't see fantastic shut-down corner. You can't base it off analyst rankings all the time, otherwise all top-5 prospects would pan out into pro-bowlers.
The Lions can't afford another screwd up draft pick.. with the signings of Chris Houston, Glover Quin, Bentley getting healthy, and the emergence of Green and Greenwood... we need to allocate that first pick to a lineman on the D or O. What has Hoke always preached? Build from the trenches, and it has refelcted in his recruiting. Pro-football isn't any different. You select an OT, DE, and worst case scenario a LB. Those are your foundation positions, that is what you draft. Lions can always find a proven CB in free agency still at a bargain since the market is flooded with them.
Our OLine needs to be rebuilt and I wouldn't be opposed to seeing Fischer at 5 and then Barrett Jones in the Second Round.
Dee Milliner is not a good value at the 5 spot. If we had a mid-late 1st rounder it wouldn't be bad, but not at 5. Ezekiel Ansah or Jarvis Jones at 5 would be a better pick...I'd even live with an OT. Just not Dee
Se'Von tried committing to UM and Hoke passed on him... soon after he committed to MSU, and then Urban decided he wanted him and blessed him with an offer *cough cough.* I don't think Hoke would even take a peep at this kid
I think Speight has some great potential and is very accurate. Film is great to get an initial read on a recruit, but it can only tell you so much..let us not forget the Sam Mcguffie highlight reel...that worked out. Would Cornwell be ideal? Maybe... But i'm happy with Speight, we'll see what he can do when he wears the maize and blue. Go Blue and Happy NSD!
His friend and former Michigan commit Anthony Standifer goes to Ole Miss... but I still have no idea why anyone would want to go to Ole Miss. I'm guessing Ok. St. gets him. Whatever happens, best of luck to him.
Exactly! How is it a game changer if we came back and took the lead with under 2 minutes? South Carolina won with what was basically a hail mary. Game changers typically swing the entire momentum against the opposing team....we scored real quick.
What's more plausible is a GRIII front flip from the free throw line for a dunk...we all know spike would be the passer a la The Palace Flight Crew. But my prediction would be Michigan - a lot to Binghamton's - a little (97-38 Michigan for the win and 10-0).
I'm watching Kingdom of Heaven while drinking some Hoegaarden and finishing up my urban policy exam...the first two parts are pretty good, the latter not so much.
As Doug Karsch always says, "Whatever gets you closer to, not further away." Not taking the picture then telling her to make you a sandwhich = a dry spell longer than MSU's not going to the rose bowl.
They kinda look like Northwestern's underarmour jerseys; the stripes on the sleeves are of similar design. I do like them a lot though, Nike does amazing work with their pro combat line.
Mike Farrell is an ass hat...got that off my chest and I feel better. Anyways,
I don't understand how Farrell makes the statement, "Conley probably ends up at Ohio State." What about Conley's recruitment makes him think that he will "probably" end up at Ohio? I think that is a huge assumption with no solid evidence other than his all powerful Oz prediction powers. Lastly I enjoyed his deductive skills...that Conley's official visit to Michigan is on the 14th, and that this is another example of how Hoke's no visit policy doesn't work. He picks two examples, two very unique and odd examples, and deducts that this no visit policy doesn't work? The fact that Hoke expects a commitment to be a commitment is not reasonable? What's so difficult for a recruit to commit when they are absolutely sure they want to come to Michigan? He cites two examples, from three that I can remember(P.Brown), and disregards how we've kept 40+ commits true to Michigan; that type of record sounds like clear failure for Hoke *sarcasm*
What would Stern do if the Spurs orginization refused to pay the fine? Apparently Stern is not only acting as the a general manager by not authorizing certain trades... he's now dictating how teams set up their rosters and play their games. His retirement can't come soon enough! He has effectively watered down the NBA product by over exanding the leagues footprint, and by selling his soul to bad basketball. His decisions are based upon what he personally wants, not what is better for the league. While Popovich shouldn't have sent his star players home, it's ultimately his and the orginization's decision. If he's so concerned about fans who pay to watch his NBA product then he should shut down the Bobcats.... they're a crime against humanity.
But the whole Fab Five didn't show up the year after sanctions killed our program. It's ridiculous and arrogant for Ohio to have brought back Tressel for this game. It just highlighted the lack of teeth the NCAA has, and the amount of butt kissing Delaney did during this whole controversy.

Subs would be so much more effective.
Here's his junior film from youtube.. it is highlight tape, but you can definitely see why the coaches offered him.

I want to apologize.. Apparently my computer spazzed out just as much as I did and decided to reiterate my point 7 consecutive times. I am sorry.
