Tim Hardaway and Trey Burke weren't really high-profile players, nor was Darius Morris, and all were high-profile players. "We're still looking at 'who is the best fit.' "

Thank you BiSB for your contribution to this blog. I have a greater appreciation for the time the mgoblog employees/contributors and the mods spend here now.  I was inspired at one point to provide a weekly contribution to this blog, but have found time to be too short as of late.  High quality, well informed, and humorous posters make this blog one of the best out there.  You are one of those that make this a better place.

I wish you the best with your new baby and leave you with this final thought -

28 weeks 4 days ago Here's a link

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_bids_to_college_bowl_games

Big Ten Conference
The Big Ten Conference has eight bowl tie-ins.[5]
#1 Bowl Championship Series. The winner of the Big Ten Championship Game gains an automatic berth to a BCS bowl game, preferentially the Rose Bowl.
#2 The Capital One Bowl receives the second choice from the Big Ten, but must choose from remaining teams with the best overall record, or within one win of the best overall record. Starting in 2011, it may choose to take the runner up of the Big Ten Championship Game should its record be better than the league champion.
#3 The Outback Bowl receives the third choice of Big Ten teams.
#4 The Gator Bowl receives the fourth choice of Big Ten teams.
#5 The Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl receives the fifth choice of Big Ten teams
#6 The Meineke Car Care Bowl of Texas receives the sixth choice of Big Ten teams.
#7 The TicketCity Bowl receives the seventh choice from the Big Ten.
#8 The Little Caesar's Pizza Bowl will take the eighth choice from the Big Ten; if no remaining teams are available, the bowl will choose a Sun Belt team.

28 weeks 5 days ago Good read, thanks for taking

Good read, thanks for taking the time to write this up.

In regards to a 3 star QB - I can't say how accurate recruiting rankings are, and I know that the work has been done to show which services are more accurate - but I can say that sometimes they are wrong.  Examples of 3 star (to Rivals) quartebacks who had decent college careers -

Kellen Moore

Sam Bradford

Christian Ponder

Andy Dalton

Colt McCoy

Ryan Tannehill

Unfortunately, the list of 3 stars who never saw the field is much, much longer.  I think the goal when recruiting a 3 star is always that you hope for the exception, and sometimes you might get it.  For Bellomy, I think the case may be that the sample size is too small to make that call.  At the beginning of the season, we are always talking about how vanilla the offensive scheme is.  This is to give the offense a chance to work up to the speed of conference play.  Bellomy hasn't really been in any situations that would prepare him for that, and that is [insert blame here].  He was clearly overwhelmed by the speed of the game.

Good read and thanks for posting.

* We won the TOP, 31:36 to 28:24. Yippee. We did control the clock early, and I was expecting that to pay off in the fourth quarter when we should have been able to grind down their defense, but then, you know, Denard got hurt.

Watching the game I felt the same way.  Nebraska was going to get burnt eventually with their  "prevent Denard" defense.

What did you do this weekend?

30 weeks 1 day ago You are right about the MSU

You are right about the MSU game as it pertains to winning the B1G championship.  If we had beaten MSU last year we would have been playing Wisconsin in Indy.  I don't think this statement is entirely accurate though -

And don't even bring up nd because over than the novelty of being our first night game it had no impact on the season or bowl game.

While it is always the goal to win a B1G championship, the Notre Dame game was an important factor in our Sugar Bowl appearance.  Had Michigan State beaten Notre Dame they would have been higher in the rankings with only 2 losses, after their loss to Wisconsin.  That would have given them a small chance to get a BCS invite, which they were not going to get with 3 losses.  In the end, neither Michigan or Michigan State got what they wanted (the B1G title) but it was Michigan that went to a BCS bowl game and not Michigan State, and you could argue that the Notre Dame game was the difference.

This is something Brian wrote in respect to the gap blitz -

*[I was just reading that Smart Football post he linked about matching short passes with runs, which would have been perfect here. A-gap blitz? Immediate toss to slot/TE. Still need to block up the middle to get the QB some time.]
