I just don't see how they take him off defense for his primary position. I can definitely see him getting more snaps on offense, but I think the majority of his snaps will come from the defensive side of the ball. RBs are easier to plug in than finding DBs with that sort of athleticism.
would be my first choice agianst whoever in the PAC12. After that, Florida would be a tough but exciting matchup. I think playing Ole Miss would be fun, and something new. Fournette scares me too much to want to play LSU.
As soon as the game the game ended I turned my back to get out of the stadium as quickly possible. As we all know it takes a while, and so when I finally turned back around to look at the field there were a fair amount of State players either taunting the student section or running over to do the same thing.
second to last question you addressed here and your answer.
At first after the game of course I was upset. Devastated. But it didn't take me long to comprehend the bigger picture. Meaningful football games are back at Michigan and I think this is just the beginning. Obviously it sucks to lose, but I think we'll be alright and grow as a team because of it.
Also to your point, I don't think I have seen such an aggressive fan base after winning. Sparty just seems unreasonably mad still. I mean they are always a little angry, but after that win you think they would calm down a bit. Yet you get people like Jemele Hill who feel the need to yell at us through a tv screen.
due to injuries and graduation. In particular, their OL and secondary are not what they've been the past couple years. That being said, I still believe they haven't played their best game yet and will pick it up come Saturday. Game will come down to QB play, where they have an obvious advantage. If Rudock can have a "nice" game, nothing too spectacular, then I like our chances to win.
Under Armour one bit. I like the classic feel they have with Auburn and Notre Dame, and thought worked with Northwestern well. Plus, I feel their apparel would be a definite upgrade over Adidas.
Miami of Ohio before transferring here to U of M. The lack of cute girls thing is definitely not true. Miami is about as good as it gets when it comes to attractive girls per capita, because that whole school is one big sorority/fraternity, but there are definitely a good amount of attractive girls here at Michigan too. It's just there are also a bunch of ordinary, smart girls as well. Idea is totally outdated.
need to move on. We got our guy, and it's about as good of an hire as we could've made.
Who cares if an analyst thinks it's only the second best hire made in all of football.
Because I, just as most every poster on here, is overly invested in this coaching search. I am also a huge fan of Gus Malzahn, so I clicked hoping the guy had more reasoning than just "No one has mentioned him yet, and Cowherd likes the guy!"
on another blog site, including Auburn fans, and they say they still believe he is a UM lean. He is being heavily pursued by the new Auburn coaching staff but in their opinion the coaching turnover may be too much to overcome. Not sure what is going on with these Auburn fans referenced in the OP.
....while their teams are usually notoriously bad/choke-artists, especially Cleveland teams, the fans themselves are very passionate.They are the complete opposite of the type fans you find in areas such as Miami etc. I currently go to Miami (Ohio) and there is a lot pride in all their teams, whether deserved or not.
Ok positives over, let's go back to ragging on them please.
with Barwis personally, and before that with the same trainer I use. Talked to him multiple times, he is a good kid. Always talked about wanting to go somewhere warmer though, so this decision makes sense. He is definitely a good player, though a lot of the competition he has faced is questionable.
We did the same thing to some public schools around us. Didn't really have to do with race at all, we usually only used it when the opposing schools would chant something like "brokeback high school" or something along those lines. I do believe U of D does not have better academic standards/prominence than CC and not sure where that belief in U of D came from and why it's so prominent.
Even on the beautiful days, those curvy roads in the middle of nowhere still make you want to drive like an old man. Though the drive on a nice day between Oxford/Ann Arbor is probably one of easiest 4 hour drives you can make.
Best of luck to the kid. Committed to play before everyone knew how good this class was. I hope he does great things at Cincinatti. I think our OL haul is still top notch.
I think the fact that his GF goes to Bama already has a big part to do with this. Whether or not it factored into his decision, you know his parent(s) at least believed it to have some role. Thats just how they work. Of course a mom would rather her son stay home and play for a national program in their own backyard instead of going into a different state to possibly be with his girlfriend.
giving him a legitimate response - his profile was created today. A poor trolling attempt by Sparty, but either way I hope DeAnthony and his father well.
I was getting very annoyed after VT got picked for the Sugar Bowl. The media wasted no time giving them bulletin-board material. Heck, Herbstreit ripped into them on national tv the minute they got chosen. They will definitely be very motivated, but as we have seen with Team 132 motivation and heart is definitely not an issue.
but so far two analysts have picked against us. Thanks for nothing Todd McShay and David Pollack. Don't know Pollack's track record with his picks, but I'm sure it isn't a big deal. Geaux Blue.
To start 6-0 get to 7-1 and finish 7-5 would not be acceptable, but it isn't unlikely. I believe we will overcome Illinois on the road next week, but I think we slip up against Nebraska and Ohio State. To those who say we're solid at home, the best team we beat at home was Notre Dame and that was somehwat of a miracle win. Our only B1G home wins have come against Purdue and Minnesota - not exactly two teams that can indicate how good your team truly is.
will realize we just aren't that good. We are good, and a better team than last year, but we're still not a good enough team. I don't where all this confidence from the fans came from. I believe in wishful thinking, but how you guys thought we would easily walk into Kinnick stadium and come away with a win is mind-boggling. I feel confident in saying we will finsh the regular season 8-4, with that final win coming next week in Illinois.
Let's beat Sparty before we can even think about going to the B1G championship game. This season has played out exactly like last season minus are defense didn't shit the bed vs the terrible teams we played. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
that I saw was the lack of missed tackles. Yes we didn't stop the run by any means but we didn't miss tackles. We blew some coverage assignments too but you can clearly see the difference from this year and last year.
Cam Dillard to be mentioned. He is a friend of mine (acquaintance) and was one of my training partners and I frequently would talk about Michigan with him ( more as of a joke than anything). Kid is pretty damn strong when he sticks with his work ethic and gets the right training. He has been training with Barwis a lot lately so I don't know the status of his strength these days, but the kid is still a beast and is still growing. Hope for big things for him.
with a 31 and a 3.8 from a very competitive private Michigan school. It was pretty crushing especially considering some other kids that got in, but I know I should have done better.
I am now off to Miami University in the fall, and if things at Miami aren't great then I will attempt to transfer to U of M.
I'd be done for any kind of serious dynasty, if the OP still has any spots open I'd take Michigan, PSU, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Iowa, MSU,tOSU, Northwestern, Illinois in that order.
And now they have realized they don't mind losing Kalis at all. A money quote from Bucknuts regarding Dodson and Kalis.
" That would be the best news all year. I think Dodson is a far superior talent to Kalis and is way under rated. I was more upset about Dodson going to Wiscy then I was about Kalis committing to Michigan. Kalis is like a HS girl who changes his mind every five minutes and I don't want him here. He contradicts himself every 4 or 5 weeks and is a sell out! I would welcome Kyle Dodson back in a second and I didn't blame him for committing in the middle of this shit storm to Wisconsin because at that point he didn't want to get left out of a top program, and OSU was retarded for not offering him earlier. I can't wait till Bollman and Peterson are GONE!:
If O'brien committed first, then they would still take Pipkins. If Pipkins committed first, its hard to see the staff turn down one of the best prospects in state and a solid prospect nationally to hope for a kid from California. That's not the type of recruiting buzz that you want in-state.
because they just had a whole thread on tRCMB about T-Rich wearing a Florida hat and they were all giddy about him possibly decommitting. Its honestly pathetic. It has to be them.
mentioned because Jeremy Clark just committed...kinda. The coaches are only going after Wilson now, and if he doesn't commit then Clark will get offered a full scholarship. I think that does it for safeties.
"I think its absurd to let kids like Kalis hold THE Ohio State program hostage because we won't name Fickell HC. I have no problem with him choosing to go to that $hit hole to finger bang Stroebel if it means we bring in a guy like Meyer or Pelini, etc. Fickell has proven nothing. I like his heart, I like what he said in the press conference, but lets be serious. Ohio State is one of the top three programs/jobs in the country. There are a ton of coaches gnawing at the bit to jump on board. Lets see what we can do after August."
Who wouldn't want to deal with a fanbase like that?
I fear for this kid's mental stability and all-around safety if he ends up going Blue. The level of class that a lot of tOSU fans will handle this with will be nothing surprising.
Go Blue Kyle, and see the true nature of your "fans".
I'' be in the same company. Obviously Olson, Bars, and Keenan are talented prospects considering that we offered them so early and pursued like we have, just the idea of having legitimate chances at these national prospects is too enticing and would provide even more excitement for the rest of the class.

But I can't decide whether I would want him to take the 2 or just let it be and have Jabrill make his own legacy with #5

so much. Vandalism is taking it too far IMO, or at least spray painting statues and iconic university landmarks.

Moe's Sport Shop will have some Harbaugh attire too!
Drake Johnson listed as RB4. He was very impressive in the end of last year, hopefully he comes back strong.

bracket challenge in 8th grade. Most the girls did well and won using this method of choosimg. The championship game was between Florida and UCLA...

I just got home driving back from Miami (Ohio). The drive right now is brutal with this terrible weather...especially in Ohio.

a pretty optimistic result. I see us going 9-3 with unfortunately losses to Nebraska and tOSU.

I'd hate this guy just the same no matter where he goes.
Seriously, eff this dude. So sick.
hate Strobel so much. and if Kalis ends up blue then their hate towards both will just increase tenfold.
