1 week 6 days ago I humbly suggest the following RAWK changes

AC/DC.....how about "IF You Want Blood ..rarely played and rocks as hard as any AC/DC song out there.

For local flavor, why not the Motor City Madman Ted Nugent. Cat Scratch Fever is way overplayed....Stranglehold is too damn long....how about something like "Snakeskin Cowboys".

A nice Who alternate might be the live version of Eminence Front or even Won't Get Fooled Again...or reach out a little further for Slip Kid.
28 weeks 20 hours ago I agree with much of what you

I agree with much of what you said. I'm not surprised that the Grad assistant didn't break things up and escort the kid out of there. The shock of seeing something like this go on, is enough to make you behave in ways you never thought you would.

What I am surprised about, is that after being able to think and reflect..and that persons of more advanced age and presumably more maturity who did not witness the act..didn't take this thing on.

When given enough time to reflect on things, someone should have thought of the kids and the future harm Sandusky might do and put an end to this by calling the police or DHS and reporting it. That after all this time, no one has, means they put themselves and their wants and desires ahead of the safety of these children.
28 weeks 1 day ago Your statement about Joe Pa calling the police...

If Paterno called the Police or DHS and they failed to do what needed to be done, then I absolutely would have a different opinion of Paterno. At that point, the  onus is on the authorities and they must do what is required.

39 weeks 6 days ago I have new for Mr. Bates.

Every company in America (and elsewhere for that matter) has been built on the backs of it's "Labor" force..many of whom are often "exploited" by the companies they work for.

People go to work every day in low paying jobs making the wealthy wealthier. Is this really shocking to anyone? Those folks handing you coffee out the window of your local McDonalds probably wish they were making better money too..and were not be exploited by the McDonalds Corp..many of those people had little or no opporunity to better themselves while they slave away for a rich and powerful corporation.

The NCAA attempts to make sure these players have an opportunity to get a college degree that can provide a better life for the thousands of players who don't make it to the NFL level..no one gives a chance like that to a Sonic car hop.

Last I knew, college football players were free to chase tail..attend parties..get smashed etc. just like the rest of college attendees. I see very little that is being denied most of these players.
1 year 10 weeks ago Just something to think about.

Some people love to discuss the "Athletes make money for their university" issue and rightly so I think.

No one every discusses the "Cheating athletes/coaches costing their university" issue. So, while Webber helped make Michigan tons of cash, his actions then cost them tons of cash as well.
1 year 17 weeks ago Agree with the Lifeson

Agree with the Lifeson comment..always loved "The Trees", "Digital Man" and "Subdivisions".

Big Mark Knopfler fan as well..."Down by the Waterline" is a personal favorite.

Zeppelin..."Over the Hills and Far Away"...wish I was good enough to play the accoustic intro.
1 year 25 weeks ago The only knock against the

The only knock against the 3-3-5, is the replacement of an OLB, with a tweener safety who might have difficulty holding up against the run. Also, it's a little harder to adjust to a two tight end set.

Our problem with the 3-3-5 is that our players don't understand it, aren't fundamentally sound within the scheme and lack sufficient depth and in some cases, don't fit the scheme very well.

One of the only problems I have with Rich, is not deciding this is what he wanted, and getting players recruited to the scheme earlier..thus avoiding our depth issues.
1 year 26 weeks ago If....

Also, if appears to me that Avery is expecting Mouton to fill the Backside A..so that he can fill the Backside B gap.
1 year 28 weeks ago I know on one, it appeared to

I know on one, it appeared to be three deep coverage, and I think Avery took his man too far inside..he probably didn't see the threat from the RB on the wheel and was aligned too far to to the middle of the field.
