18 weeks 17 hours ago	ACL	Ouch, good luck with the ACL surgery!  I've had both replaced (1 ultimate frisbee, 1 basketball).  The difference for me between the two was the quality of physical therapy that I had.  For the first one I did my PT at the Cube in Ann Arbor and it went really well.  The second one was out in California and not so well.
24 weeks 2 days ago	Seats	>> It is a massive improvement and I'm happy to report that rumors the >> seats were reminiscent of flying coach turns out not to be >> true. Room was sufficient. Unfortunately that wasn't the case for me.  Legroom was pretty bad and I'm only 6 feet tall.  I was in the lower bowl to the right of the student section.
29 weeks 23 hours ago	Schofield	Watching the game Saturday Schofield didn't play all that well at guard.  I counted 2 or 3 plays where I noticed the rest of the line blocking well and him missing a block to get the play blown up.  It seemed like the coaches sat him for a while and brought Barnum in until Barnum got banged up again.  Schofield definitely seems like he belongs at tackle.
31 weeks 3 days ago	Screens	My friends and I were watching the game, wondering for the whole time when they would start throwing screens.  It's pretty elementary football logic that when they are blitzing and rushing really hard, you use misdirection using a quick screen to the running back.  They have done this in past games with success but I don't remember seeing it for the whole game.  This could have meant huge gains, but at the least would have kept the rush honest.
35 weeks 2 days ago	Take the points	I was watching the 49ers game with my friend and his dad, who is a former starting safety in the NFL.  When Harbaugh was making the decision, my friend's dad said automatically that you take the points.  He didn't have any specific examples from his time in the NFL but he said that it just isn't a good idea to take the points off of the board.

2 years 49 weeks ago	Fumbling	Watching the video, I couldn't help but notice how he holds that ball out for anyone to take it when running. Hopefully M can coach that out of him, or else it will be stripped easily.

3 years 18 weeks ago	Christian coaches	"That hurts with some with recruits, but it probably helps with some others who may not walk around wearing Darwin fish but also aren't too enthused about getting evangelized for four years." I understand that this is hyperbole, but this probably is not true. There are a bunch of Christian coaches out there, like Mike Singletary and Tony Dungy and I doubt they are evangelizing all of their players. Even in those two cases you see two entirely different styles of relating to people (Dungy seems pretty calm and Singletary seems pretty intense) even though they fall in the same bucket of being "Christian coaches". I personally think that some kids may feel like they are basically choosing a father figure for the next 4-5 years, so it would make sense they want to choose one that shares their values. Whether or not this is actually true, they may just feel that with a Christian coach who shares their values, he's less likely pull a move like Charlie Weis does every year in totally screwing over some kid.
