hoke:"[Freshman] A.J. Williams a guy who is mainly on the line of scrimmage, learning how to play college football. He's learning how to block fundamentally and technically. He's got great hands, and he can run." still picking things up by the tone of that qoute. I think there's a reason he's not making a big impact yet. I agree he's an asset but he's still a freshman blocker; I mean Kalis hasn't even seen the feild it's a bit early to expect williams to control the edge rushers on the line.
I feel like I know this offense a lot better now; but wouldn't the lack of experianced tight end blockers and the fact that non-denard run game isn't happening this year very much limit us to spread offense and 2-rb sets this year dictating that Denard continues to face pressure in the pocket against traditional big ten defenses? I feel as if the Lazer screen is a desperate attempt to keep this pressure off of Denard, if only because Borges inexplicably hates this play.
Anyways I hope the emergance of Lazer, Funchess and other checkdown throws help negate the de-evolution of our pocket protection and deep ball. GO BLUE!
that o-line let him down; he seemed hesitant to enter the pocket a couple times because the line was basically a sieve. i was suprised at how nice his short throws looked, cant wait to see what he does with a real line in Ann Arbor!
Ohio(the state not the school) athletes in general seem to be nice kids. with the exception of an odd Maurice Clarrett that seems to be pretty consistantly the case. I agree about Aaron Craft his style of play is incredible to watch .living in Wisconsin myself I frequently forget that playing good defense doesn't have to be the most boring thing in the world to watch. Ohio(the school) has helped its image a lot IMO by ditching the old football coach;
But yes Thad Matta is maybe the most shady Big Ten Basketball coach, and I hope he doesn't taint the accomplishments of his players.
as a brewers fan I'm going to politely request that the cubs keep losing. It's all we have left up here; I mean we lost a series to the twins fergodsakes
thanks,haha yeah he used to work task force so he can handle mifflin pretty easy. I grew up in Madison myself, I've met Ron Dayne and Berry Alveraz they seem like nice people as well; and I ten to root for the Badgers whenever they aren't playing Michigan, but I always wear my Michigan gear to any game I go to at Camp Randell anyways :).
I'm glad to see I'm not the only wisconsinite who loves Michigan. were you at the game where Mallett got the start in Camp Randell?
just talked to him on the phone about what happened, said Ball was extremely polite about everything. He also told me he was there when the arrested Brent Moss in 94' for crack possession. It's funny that these things keep happening when he's working
my dad's an officer that works mifflin St. every year, and this kind of stuff happens every year. It's never been very safe, but just like halloween on state street it's never going away either. My dad was there when they arrested Ball btw, as a fellow michigan fan he thought it was pretty damn funny.
I'm seeing the same trend Michigan is always the first to offer on these ohio kids and even when ohio beats us head to head it seems to be the onese who were lifelong Buckeye fans that were never going to go blue anyhow. I'm also really Impressed that we're recruiting kids from columbus so successfully. All that said OSU is still getting some really great kids, but long term I think you're right this trend is going to kill their talent base.
absolutely right; anyone whos seen the film of Lebron's aau team knows they played above the rim and were athletic as hell. Even a 9th grade Mitch Mcgary type would completely shut down any post game and if you look at some of these rosters now they are absolutely staked with future college stars on these elite AAU/high school teams.I think even with the women's ball it's still not even close.
That term 'Walmart Wolverine' is something I had never heard before, but I'm pretty sure the whole reason one would feel uncomfortable in defining it is that it's inherently classist in its nature and would probably make you're average Sparty fan uncomfortable acknowledging the ugliness of it.

I was confused initially as well but it's ranked by yards per attempt. hope that helps

Bro Mouzone; just gotta say I'm a huge wire fan. but as a philly fan wouldn't it make more sense to do a weebay or even a d'angelo reference?

this will give us a huge advantage in all these night games we have scheduled.
hopefully Treadwell sees that Morris can make a good reciever great.
Living in Milwaukee Idk if I have the patience for two brandon jennings in my life

thanks for the link. Once again I get the sense that Brad Hoke(and his staff) just gets people, and has a tremendous rapport with recruits.

trash storm
I was thinking the same thing this seems like a no-brainer
Nice work. Personally I plan on keeping this going through the superbowl
can't follow the game too far gone on the drinking end of things.
March Madness nothing beats it
It hurt listening to that. Michigan doesn't need a rap video it has this http://soundcloud.com/chriswebbershow/the-chris-webber-show-ladies
