| 1 week 11 min ago | Summary |
Allow me to summarize his piece: Alabama is better SEC Fast, B1G Slow Alabama is still better Denard can't throw Alabama won't let Michigan run either Alabama has better players... Better coaches, too. Insert cliches and statistics grabbed off of Yahoo! Sports in 3 minutes.
There, just saved everyone some time. |
| 2 weeks 6 days ago | As a Ravens fan I am upset |
As a Ravens fan I am upset but this defense has a knack for players coming in and out and performing well. When Adalius Thomas, Ed Hartwell, Bart Scott, Will Demps, Jim Leonhard, etc. all left at various times it looked like the defense would take a step back and it never really did. Players tend to be better with the Ravens than they are anywhere else. I am cautiously optimistic about this season, but it will require the offense to take another step forward. Unfortunately the easiest way to do that is to kidnap Cam Cameron and lock him in a dark room for the duration of the season, but that is frowned upon in Maryland law. |

Come on man, RDT will post if he has info that he is comfortable sharing, it's not like he is holding out on everyone just to be spiteful. Just wait for the Hello post if/when it comes, in the meantime sit back and take it easy. |
| 4 weeks 1 day ago | It still took all this for him to do the bare minimum |
It still doesn't take away the fact that it took an absolute uproar for the Athletic Department to do the bare minimum that they should have done in the first place. It honestly made us look like a second-tier department compared to Alabama and our numerous peer institutions who would have certainly brought their bands in the first place. I hope Brandon didn't just turn the screws on donors to get some big donors to pay for it- that kind of extortion is not how you build loyalty or set yourself up for larger future gifts. |

| 4 weeks 5 days ago | Ann Arbor is an amazing town for reasons well beyond football |
Ann Arbor shows up on just about every list of good towns: Best College Towns (#2) Smartest cities (#1) Best Small Cities (#46)
There is a ton to do even as a non-student living in the area. A fair amount of local bands (that are actually talented), a wide range of drinking establishments from Good Time Charley's to The Ravens Club (very different experiences), a ton of festivals, shows, and other events, and a 20 minute drive to a major airport. It costs a lot more to live in the city than right outside but it's worth it to me, there is so much to do.
It couldn't be more different than Detroit. In fact, just about every city in Michigan (except Flint) is way different than Detroit. I moved here from Maryland and found it completely different than the sad news stories they show about Detroit. Great place to live. |
| 4 weeks 6 days ago | Michigan should be better than this |
I am just waiting for Brandon to just get rid of the band altogether- maybe they can just have a hype video and rawk music instead of the band forming the M at the beginning of the game. Sound is sound, right? Apparently his conception of the Michigan brand is just anything that saves/makes money. He should remember that money is useless except in what it is used for. We don't love Michigan because it's a really wealthy athletic department or because it has a great marketing department. We love it because of things like the band, the winged helmet, etc. I knew I had arrived at a special place when I saw the band first come onto the field and form that M, with the banner being raised soon after. Oh and I am not some old timer who hates any and all change. That moment I just wrote about? 2006. |

I love that you went there, I just hope it doesn't mean he won't call on you in the future! |

The assumption is that a poster would at least read the blog... Let's consider this a learning experience. |
| 7 weeks 6 days ago | Yes but isn't Big 12 country |
Yes but isn't Big 12 country just Future SEC country? SEC folks can be downright scary about this kind of stuff, and I would hate to see that when your state gets annexed. |
