Date Title Body
1 week 2 days ago We will have to beat OSU twice to win Big 10 Championship

Other than OSU, our 4 toughest BIG 10 games are PSU, MSU and NW on the road, NEB at home. We need to win 3 of these games to have a shot, given the easier schedules for both MSU and NEB. We also need to beat OSU to get to the Big 10 Championship because either NEB or MSU will only have 1 Big 10 loss. Because OSU also has an easy schedule, they will likely make it to the Championship game for sure.

4 weeks 5 days ago Jake Butt Will Not be Redshirted

The post suggests a reshirt for Jake Butt would be "ideal."  I don't think so.  

 

Butt is at least 3rd on the depth chart now, behind true sophmores Funchess and Williams, and ahead of junior Jordan Paskorz.  

 

Butt was one of the top-rated tight ends last year (4th-ranked by ESPN, 5th-ranked on both Rivals and Scout).  Butt has been in school since January.  

 

He is listed at 6-6, 231 on the official Spring Roster and thus is bigger than Funchess right now.  

 

There is no way Borges is going to pass up using Butt this year in two- or three- tight end sets.

21 weeks 6 days ago One wonders why the prior censorship

I can't figure out why the earlier report was censored:

 

Michigan will be without "key defensive player" in Outback Bowl [Locked]

 

Chris Balas ‏@Balas_Wolverine

Heard from several that as of now, U-M will be down a key defensive player for the Outback Bowl. Will wait for the program to announce who.

Maybe this is why Norfleet is suddenly playing CB?

Mod edit: The threshold for saying a player is kicked off the team for potentially illegal behavior is higher than unsubstantiated rumors. Speculation that names particular players and/or suggests those players have legal or other serious problems should be kept off the board unless a credible source comes forward to report. If you think you are a credible source, I encourage you to email Brian at the address at the top of the page. JGB.

 
Does anyone have an answer?  Why was there an assumption someone was "kicked off the team for potentially illegal behavior"?
25 weeks 2 days ago Thanks for the kind words

I'm not sure why the original post brought on so much generalized disdain and ridicule as opposed to specific objections or criticisms.  My suggestions were focused on dealing with the usual keys to The Game:  avoiding turnovers by our offense and dealing with the speed and athleticism of their defense.  If anybody has better ideas I would enjoy reading them.

25 weeks 4 days ago Thanks

Typing on no sleep does things to you.

25 weeks 4 days ago Thanks

That's what happens when you try to type a long piece on no sleep.

29 weeks 5 days ago No, it's actually Mrs. Arthur Miller & her husband,

a noted former Daily reporter.

29 weeks 5 days ago Sorry, just a sloppy typist,

Not a Freudian slip.

29 weeks 6 days ago Contrary to Red Cedar Board, Denard "Finished" Them Off

Denard made a statement final drive and won the game with help from DD and the Brunette Girl Kicker, Gibbons. I'd say he "finished" the game.

30 weeks 4 days ago Defensive keys to stopping MSU

MSU traditionally beats people when they convert 3rd downs via throws down the middle to the TE, screens to the RB, sideline passes to the WR or a QB scramble. Maxwell hasn't yet shown the ability to scramble or throw a sideline pass. Michigan's LB's can win this game by staying close to the RB's and TE's when they go into their pass patterns. No need to rush more than 4 on 3rd and long.

30 weeks 5 days ago The Good News re Morris' Health Outweighs

the disappointing news re Dawson's decommitment.  Whatever the outcome concerning OL recruiting for 2013, having Morris healthy for Spring '13 practice is the most critical factor for Michigan's offense in the future.

31 weeks 4 hours ago Not sure about OSU regressing, but

I am sure they have some LB depth problems. OSU has always depended on their LB's to be in the right position to make big plays. They need to get their LB's healthy before they play at Penn State and Wisky or they won't be able to even win their division this year.

31 weeks 1 day ago Rivals Article Significantly Mentions Alex Swieca

One key fact to note in the Rivals article is the mention of Wolverine walk-on Alex Swieca as competing for QB time with Gardner and Bellomy (and Morris).  The guy's story is fantastic- orthodox Jew from NYC, trained in the Israeli military, won MVP in Israeli football league sponsored by Bob Craft, owner of the NE Patriots.  Swieca is as likely to get some PT during the Spring Game as Morris, given Shane's bout with mono.

My 2013 QB depth chart prediction:  Bellomy is 1, Gardner is 2 (while no. 1 at WR), Swieca is 3.  Shane will likely redshirt to permit him to fully recover from the mono.  One mystery:  whether Michigan picks up another 4-star QB in the 2013 class as "insurance" for the future.  While Hackenberg would be the likely choice if he starts rethinking his verbal commitment to Penn State, Brogan Roback, a 4-star verbal commit to EMU from Toledo is also a possibility.

31 weeks 5 days ago No questions re Kovacs, wonder why?

You've got to wonder why no reporter thought to ask a question about Kovacs' condition?  Even if Hoke doesn't like answering injury questions, they still should be asked.

31 weeks 6 days ago Your point is appreciated.

While I'm not against humorous reply posts, my original query re Kovacs' health was a legitimate question. He is the Captain on defense and our most prolific tackler (until yesterday). Hopefully, his knee injury is not serious and he will have time to recover before Illinois. Although Ilinois' record has not bee impressive, they did stay close to Wisconsin for three quarters (while on the road).

38 weeks 5 days ago Garnett was never going to come east

after his twin sister accepted a scholarship (debating?) to a private California college.

43 weeks 2 days ago Not as good as the Saban Tax Plan for At-Risk Kids

Why punish anyone when you can start a new bogus charity to help kids, utilizing taxes on Penn State football tickets?  Just ask Nick Saban how its done:  link

Then when the new charity commits a mortal sin or two, send the remaining funds to your favorite religious tax-evading non-profit in order to avoid having to satisfy expected liability judgments to the victims:  link

 

45 weeks 12 hours ago It is illegal to offer a recruit a scholarship for his buddy

NCAA rules prohibit offering a recruit more than the standard athletic scholarship. If the offer includes a scholarship for the recruit's buddy, it is clearly an illegal offer. The buddy's scholarship is a tangible valuable benefit, more costly than just offering to give the buddy a car.

(Sorry everyone for the multiple posts, my iPad misfired.)

50 weeks 3 days ago Best Part of Dayton Daily News Article:

At the end of the story they buried the fact that Jerel Worthy received an award.  Says a lot about Ohio media's opinion of MSU and its players.

1 year 3 days ago Yes, why else would Saban seek out a game with Michigan?

Saban sought a game with Michigan when Michigan was sliding down in its football reputation.  Why would he seek a game with us at that time?  Did he want to improve his overall record vs. M?

1 year 1 week ago Just remember this a criminal, not civil matter.

Most of the other cases involve the press or the public seeking information pertaining to a civil matter such as an NCAA investigation.  If prosecutors in a criminal case seek University records which may be relevant to the discovery of information relevant to the criminal case, they can get a judge to issue a warrant for it.  FERPA permits such disclosures with due notice to the student and their parent.  Once those records are filed in court, they are usually subject to public disclosure subject to a special order issued by a judge to keep them sealed.  In this case the prosecutors should be seeking phone and email records between the defendant and OSU phone numbers and email addresses, at the least.

1 year 1 week ago Will the truth ever come out about what happened at OSU?

There is undoubtedly information concerning this individual's activities vis-a-vis OSU recruits and players that the public hasn't received.  I am hoping the legal process which will now begin to provide the entire story.  For example, will the prosecution get him to roll-over on someone at OSU who enabled the contacts with the under-age players?  We haven't seen the end of this saga.

1 year 2 weeks ago Looks like that cab driver's got game

First, he blocks Rees from escaping with a car door, than holds on to him. Maybe there is a silver lining for PurpleFace-- you might have lost a middling QB and a LB, but you gained a priority walk-on defensive player.

1 year 2 weeks ago Concerns for Ty's Mom

One of the concerns for Ty's Mom might be the crime scene around the USC campus. Here's a link to a story about the latest student murders:

http://www.ktla.com/news/landing/ktla-usc-deadly-carjacking,0,3944032.story

I have 17 year old twin sons and live in SoCal. As a parent you have to think seriously about the possibilities of your kids becoming crime victims. Although USC is an elite and wealthy private institution, the surrounding neighborhoods are constantly victimized by gang and drug activity.

1 year 2 weeks ago Gonna miss Mr. Odoms

Few people may remember that marvalous Martavious set a freshman receiving record in 2008 when he led the team with 49 receptions, while also leading all Big Ten freshmen in receptions and all-purpose yards.  Good player, good guy.

1 year 2 weeks ago 6 turnovers in Spring Game

Apparently, the offense hasn't solved their turnover problem yet with 3 fumbles and 3 interceptions in their Spring Game. QB starter still up in the air, but the D should be above average.

1 year 2 weeks ago Nice to see Ondre has the correct perspective on his 5 stars

Knowing that he's got to prove himself all over again as a college freshman is a great asset. I do hope he will be ready to play in the Alabama game. It would be a great experience for any freshman to play their first game in the Jerrydome.

1 year 2 weeks ago Not sure why Nebraska should be ranked higher than Ohio

Huskers lost 3 star defensive players to the pros and their offense still needs a consistent passing game. I think the Bucks' defense will be better than Nebraska's and their running game should be about even.
