he gambled on trey burton and missed. that's about it.

sounds like 100% work ethic

and played LSU tough in the sec title game. tougher than Osu anyways.

seems to have died down. people were up in arms about picking a WR and he's been really really good for us.

I think your emotions are getting the better of you.

there are always a lot of climpsun fans but it was not half and half. and the area around campus has been hipster-fied.

if not the seat gets warm. either way he needs a real DC (im hoping randy shannon) or he'll end up swinging from the same branch as RR so to speak.

.

no way

CC-Rockford is at Battle Creek. don't know where CT-LO is.

current staff inherited a first team all american at qb as well as a backup rated as the #1 dual threat qb in his class with (presumably) 2 years of separation between them. when was the last time a coaching staff at Michigan had something like that to work with?

Steve slaton? darius reynaud? noel devine? if you are going to talk about things, know something about them.

Bellomy is in his second year. expectation is for the position remember?

when did bellomy throw a good ball. he doesn't have first string arm strength and I somehow think the coaching staff missed that fact until last night.

if that's not your thing hit the back button and KIM. your reply is not only unnecessary but many times dumber than what you posted to complain about.

the people saying he's dumb or reckless probably got their first exposure to him in this post.

not the other way around

the situations are opposite. sherithreet had done nothing in any system. denard was 1st team all american as a sophomore.

the source of your quote could

if you hated it, it was because of inconvenient truths-not an intrinsic deficit of the book.

this post brought some emotion out

id say Navy has set the standard for service academies lately; they're just replacing a 4 year qb

first of all Stephen hill was a Johnson recruit. second of all what system did they actually play in? who cares who recruited them, its obvious that playing in the flex 3O doesn't keep wr's from making the NFL.

at CC the curriculum has no wiggle room.  the plan requires all 8 semesters and summer school is not offered to speed things along.

they are trying to win 12 games, you know that right?

risk his health? if the coaches were scared to run him then they should have taken him out as opposed to trying to make him be something he isn't, because they left a lot of bullets in the proverbial gun by shackling him.

and dogfish head 90 min imperial ipa

that's not very neutral

by sold out do you mean "needed a better building"?

Fracassa and Rice are the reason Harrison went 15 years without playing a Catholic school

A Shamrock does not root for the pumpkins

Shane morris has performed exceptionally at every camp he goes to. besides that, aren't impressive physical attributes the way to win camps?

my first game at the silverdome in high school I had trouble hearing the snap count. less of a problem in shotgun but at CC we didn't run much shotgun lol

that's exactly how someone *becomes* an elite prospect

Aaron Murray is definitely their best player

calvin played 04-06 at GT. PJ and the 3-O showed up in 2008. they were running a basic pro style offense before that.

its "Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?"

are the players he recruited better human beings than the ones he inherited?

don't be a dumbass

a little better than average.

didn't Shawn Crable set a school TFL record and make multiple all big10 teams?

someone good enough to contribute to a top ~15-20 team in D1 is good enough to have around

are you implying he should have coached harder? I personally find the notion of giving different effort to different opponents fairly shameful. you're either saying that he should have given more than the 100% he gave to every other game (which is stupid), or that his 80% effort in the other games needed to be kicked up a notch (which is is insulting). honest to god, every day the perception of the level of discourse on this board gets further and further from reality.

They tend to be really physical and well coached to the point where they look faster than they are.

I don't know why anyone would listen to the BCS either.

southern universities get shit on all the time here for no other reason than the fact that no one bothered to verify facts before typing. a semi-recent thread about auburn had the same type of nonsense.

its hard to push tempo without mature bodies or experience

he was #167 overall in rivals first rankings

calvin johnson has been a force of nature since his first game in college when he put Clemson's AA corner over his knee for a fatherly spanking. DB is a tall and athletic unknown commodity who I hope can be half the WR calvin was as a FR.

Im sure DLS's principal had a very unpleasant day planned for those young men.

Where was the Detroit News when Livonia Stevenson would chant "C-C-Faggots! *clap clap clapclapclap*? Nowhere, because that wasn't newsworthy either.

Incidentally I was at the CC- WL Central game last night and one coordinated "you suck!" was enough to send two teachers into the middle of the student section to lay the law down.

maybe one of their VHT guys pulls a justin turner

I can't think of anyone who's thrown for 5 td's against CC before, much less on that stage. matt baker started for a few years at UNC and Im not sure he had 5 td passes against us in his whole career.

athletic department goings-on at other B1G schools have been deemed appropriate for the board yes? if the story is that upsetting to you, why are you replying?

those kids were the 3rd string qb and 3rd string tb respectively, and the academic benefit is tangible ans obvious in those cases. every starter i can recall from the '96 to '99 teams when went i there and played started CC as a ninth grader, and we certainly didn't have anyone that was all-catholic from another school such as divine child or bishop borgess. almost all of them DID come from local catholic grade schools tho. so I still don't see your point. the big 10 makes it difficult for football players to transfer within the conference, I would like to see the catholic league do the same, unless, for the 3rd or 4th time now, its demonstrated *not* to be about sports, like a WR wanting to play with Shane Morris. obviously, scandals or cutting teams from the school would be special circumstances.

while I was there. both came from public schools, Taylor Truman and Detroit Central. so what are you getting at?

for sports at all. like I said, if they moved from Pleasant Ridge to Roseville, cool. im glad they are sticking with the CHSL.

if its about sports I don't like it. *shrug*

now if the family moved or something, yeah I get it. but to leave one Catholic League high school for another to play with a big time qb recruit should he discouraged. if the education at DLS is that much better than it is at Shrine then being ineligible for next football season shouldn't be a problem.

as a former catholic leaguer I have semi-strong feelings about this type of thing going on in the league, and I'm looking forward to watching my Shamrocks ground the Pilots.

I found their Midwestern charm to be a little deficient

and a lot of psu fans look at Osu as their biggest rivals (border war and such), particularly now that the streak monkey is off their backs

I watched a terrible GT team pound UNC by 20 last year. didn't seem to affect them in the long run.

final 4 appearances are a pretty widely accepted measure of a program's success. is every coach who has only ever won one title a fraud too?

no one goes to prison for a 10 day bid

DLS played 3 state finalists in CC, OLSM, and BR. all 3 have D1 talent on defense at multiple grade levels

have you watched all of this Olsen kid's games? has anyone here? hoping he is (which I do, as a former catholic leaguer) is one thing, but I don't think many here are qualified to make such a statement. that was my point; a lot of uninformed opinions are allowed passes as long as they are pro-M. the fact that you call me a troll is a perfect example, just because I hope for more objectivity.

strength and speed are totally quantifiable.

in no way whatsoever is Arkansas state a better school than Auburn. auburn has been a top 50 public for like 20 years in a row and is 82 overall in USNWR.

jordan Jefferson's claim to fame was leading them to a road win at #1 Alabama? and that's not supposed to mean something?

were not voted onto the super bowl. they qualified by an objective measure.

Clemson, who oscillates wildly between '95 Nebraska and '07 EMU, no matter who is playing or coaching.

clemson fans don't have a lot to say after nights like this

cmu should be expecting their 2010 rose bowl trophy any day now.

don't be so obtuse, you know just as well as I do that just because a>b and b>c one saturday doesn't mean a>c always

that wasn't necessarily a "defensive game" just because scoring was low. sloppiness and mental errors kept some points off the board.

...deserve a bid. not that difficult.

im fully aware of david molk's accolades, but that's not what I was getting at. there was no reason for VT's ends to be scared of something big up the middle; just about everything wide got strung out save one or two runs

UGA won 10 straight games this year and took the SEC east. mediocre might be a little strongly worded.

because of a sign at a bowl game...you probably had traces of that before you saw the sign

lol

down 2 o-line men, the b-back (sione houma's position), and a starting corner.

that being said PJ really needs to get this bowl streak ended.

I had that same thought watching the game last week. their game plan, particularly on offense (and even more particularly with the running game), was outstanding.

and you're of the belief he will be better than david baas? (current best guard since Hutch)

why couldn't you just say he parted ways with UM a few weeks ago? or if you are incapable of being informative, you could have been funny. either would have worked instead of telling someone to spend more time on the internet.

I have a feeling it isn't. show some respect for the game and the athletes.

i promise this not how we operate.

id be surprised if the ends are coached to let pullers come across their faces like that.

also demens getting caught up in the wash didn't help; it doesn't look like he was even blocked (thanks to will campbell holding up against a dbl), just let himself get sealed off on the wrong side of a scrum

winning the game is always the beat case scenario

so these kids are shortsighted and inexperienced for rallying to support their classmates? I love this website but the high horses some of you people ride on are ridiculous.

im class of 2000

Kovacs ripped persa's helmet off with a dangerous tackle attempt. persa never even hit the ground

but thats not true of his offense as a whole. there is a bunch of stuff in his offense that we never got to see, probably because of qb inexperience.

the field was in terrible shape

didnt candlestick park host a world series the same year the Niners went to the SB?

somehow the tigers can pack the house without anarchy erupting. and that area hosts the electronic music festival and hoedown. a lot of reasons not to do this but that is dumb.

havent been since the 2007 osu game and im flying in tonight. as an alum of a southern school im used to drinking smuggled alcohol during games. what is the likelihood of successfully bringing in a pint of whiskey?

i disagree with your assessment of Flint Powers. they havent won a conference game since 2007.
