3 weeks 23 hours ago	RIP friend.	So terribly sad, inexplicable and frustrating. What a truly great leader on the field and a better man off. Thanks for all the great memories at GVSU and after. My thoughts and prayers go out to Cullen's family and hoping your beautiful wife and kids find peace someday. I know they will have an unlimited amount of support moving forward. God bless.
19 weeks 5 days ago	Likewise...	...my fellow Laker! It's a great to attached to both fine collegiate institutions. So much so, I felt like double tapping 'save' and posting twice!...

31 weeks 3 days ago	I was at the game	My dear sir and it was nowhere full at the end of the 1st qtr.
32 weeks 3 days ago	Which leads me to...	Does anyone know who else might be visiting?
32 weeks 4 days ago	I'm sure this has been said, but it's worth repeating...	I honestly believe that his time spent on the field at WR has helped his maturity process, develop a better appreciation for the speed of the game and generally has gotten him more comfortable in the offense. I too believe he gives us an option now at slowly developing S. Morris as opposed to throwing him into the fire and possibly causing more harm than good.
32 weeks 4 days ago	I sure Hoke that...	this team has bowl aspirations. Just not Little Cesar bowl dreams, but larger Pasadena dreams! Now let's hope msu can take care of business in E. Lansing today and draw us one step closer.
32 weeks 4 days ago	Happy birthday Coach Hoke!!!	I'm sure his birthday present for himself is Minnesota breakdown and Northwestern game film.
33 weeks 4 days ago	Damn it...	Our policy with taking visits when committed is so flawed that we have to say good bye to this poor kid before he even decommits?! He could end up not liking either visit, but refuse to come back to Big Blue because 17 & 18 year old kids are not humble enough to say, 'just kidding, I want to come back', even if that's what he feels deep down. So sad. This policy needs to be changed to realistic expectations. These kids should be able to stay committed. That way they have Big Blue on their minds when visiting other campuses and its not 'wide open' because they know they are no longer committed anywhere else. Awful.
40 weeks 3 days ago	My only complaint...	has nothing to do with the video, per say, but rather the audio/speakers on the new video boards. Is it just me, or did anyone else notice the imbalance of sound in the stadium, with only sound coming from the north scoreboards, and none from the south scoreboards??...Then, to my surprise, I noticed speakers only on top of the north video boards and none on the south. This clearly explains why all the sound only comes from one end, but why in the world would they want it set up that way? I'm in section 20 ,and have been for a very long time, and yesterday was the first time I ever noticed the sound disparity issues. It had the car radio effect when your sitting in the back and the driver accidently changes the speakers to 'front' and you can't hear anything but muffled sounds as a result. Thoughts MGoBloggers?!
42 weeks 1 day ago	I think the best...	Median here is sit Fitz for the first half. He is still being punished game time, but doesn't lose out on all 4 quarters. This is a first time offender and the situation seemed pretty tame, ie he was cooperative with the Police and everyone else. Lord knows Hoke & Co. have made him pay dearly during practices, with possible early morning running sessions up and down the bleachers in the Big House (I believe Arrington had to do something similar a few years back). As far as Frank Clark is concerned, he should definitely sit the whole game. Hoke still makes a strong point to his players and appeases the masses, without doing too much and overreacting to make a statement and appease the Drew Sharps of the world. Not saying he would make a decisoin based on D.S., but you get my point.
49 weeks 4 days ago	Done!...	Glad to help, but I agree with some of the other posters...I would love to see the results! Keep us posted if you can.
1 year 12 weeks ago	Fitting!...	Mine as well bow out early like the basketball team did...were on a fucking roll right now! Another weekend of infinite sadness :(
1 year 12 weeks ago	Boo!	Fuck Ohio...and no, making it this far did not make anyone feel better about the basketball teams loss...Ohio won a GRAND TOTAL of 2 games in the tournament and couldn't beat an injury riddled UNC team! I don't care how good or highly ranked UNC is either. Any team w/ those personnel losses should lose in the Sweet 16 but they didn't because Ohio is terrible and WE lost to them!
1 year 12 weeks ago	Ha ha!	Very well done sirs!
1 year 13 weeks ago	I share your opinion...	End it. Immediately. Stop it. It has absolutely no place in Michigan athletics amymore. I will literally cringe when I hear Hoke say it now. Its hypocritical for us to use. Our basketball team blew it, plain and simple. If we lost to them in baseball, softball, soccer, etc..I would say the same thing. Clearly Hoke does it as a rib on osu, to call them inferior, like Ohio is in terms of sports and Universit stature in the state. That is not the case any longer as the tiny MAC school knocked us squarely on our asses . Who gives a shit if their script reads 'O H I O'. That has NOTHING to do with why Hoke calls them that. It is supposed to give them an inferior complex, that is no longer relevant.
1 year 13 weeks ago	Okay great...	Then Zack is clearly a better recruiter and maybe he should get into a Grad Asst spot on the team, but he and Stu were clearly liabilities everytime they stepped foot on the floor. I don't understand what they did to win a BIG Ten title. Everybody can thank Burke. Plain and simple. They eached Avg. what?...6 pts a game for their career. Stop using terms like 'grit' and 'toughness'. What the hell does that even mean? It certainly doesn't put up points which you need to outscore and beat an opponent.
1 year 13 weeks ago	But...	Unfortunately he is correct sir. TJH did not live up to his lofty expectations. He played TERRIBLE this year...plain and simple.
1 year 13 weeks ago	I couldn't...	AGREE more! I've been shouting that since the first five minutes of the game! AWFUL coaching performance. Simply terrible!...Why the hell doesn't anybody else see that?! The last three games of the season, when it mattered MOST I might add, Michigan played and certainly were coached the worst.
1 year 13 weeks ago	The biggest Donkey Punch to the balls...	Was that we lost to OHIO!! Holy shit balls, does anyone not see that! Stop giving a MAC team credit. Who gives a shit about DJ 'whats his name' Cooper. We have Burke?! That saddest part is, it was OHIO!! At this very moment in time Hoke must STOP using 'Ohio' to reference osu. Dead. Done. No more. The bball team killed it. It's absolutley disrespectful to use that term now that we are their bithces. Ohio was used as a slight rib, not any more! It would be hypocritical at this point. Almost complimenting osu to call them 'Ohio'. Mother of god why couldn't it have been F'ckn Hawaii State Tech College?! It couldn't have been a WORSE loss than to OHIO. Ugghhhhhh....
1 year 13 weeks ago	Who Cares?!	I mean seriously...THJ hasn't been relevant since last season. Not a single person can argue that. Not one. He was terrible this year. A huge let down. No shit sherlock he's not going to the pros, because the pros wouldn't take him! He's the 6th man off the bench in the D-league right now. Everybody that said Burke settled for the 3 ball way too much was spot on! That falls on Belein and his GAWD DAMN green light to let anyone just chuck it up when were only down 3 and clearly just need a couple 2 point baskets. Unreal. Burke is John Wall, without all the talent. LOVES to shoot the rock and think about setting up the offense and passing second. Good point guard but is allergic to assits. If he were taller, he's a no brainer 2 guard. Also a D-league contributer at best right now. Thank god Stu and Zack graduate. HUGE liabilities on the court all season. Way undersized and lacking in just pure athleticism. Prototypical Indiana bballers. If we don't start recruiting 'ATH' like they do in football, we will continue to be killed come tourney time. Stu and Zack would be 'human victory cigars' at best on a legit team. Not starters!
1 year 13 weeks ago	Belein & Co...	Had this team ill prepared the last three games. I have lost all faith in him as a real threat to take this team ove the top. Not being sarcastic or stretching at all here. His brand of style, 'everybody has a green light to shoot the 3' just does not work vs opponents who are well prepared for it and have even minimal coaching talent. His brand of offense is Rich Rod on the hardwood court and we all know that it just doesn't work. Three ball is spread basketball. Plain and simple. Its easy to defend and can be exploited. I'm beyond disapointed in the coaching, far more than the players. They seemed slow to adjust, ill prepared, poorly coached, lost, etc...Very embarassing for the University. What hurts the worst is everything they accomplished this year was just severly down graded and most of the respect we gained back for having shared the conference title is gone. We got lucky this year, plain and simple. Nobody is going to take us seriously until we start making noise when it matters most. When it counts! Beating inferior opponents means nothing! We got lucky to beat MSU and OSU at home. We were embarrassed in the Big Ten tourney and now the NCAA. Minny in the 1st rd should have been a loss and osu certainly exposed this under coached and lacking in talent team. Beyond frustrating! Now I have to spend the next 8 months avoiding all sports media outlets. Thanks team!
1 year 14 weeks ago	BEAT Bowling Green!..er,	Akron State, doh, I mean OHIO!!!
1 year 15 weeks ago	I like!	Not that its already painfully obvious, but Dorian O'Daniel  would be a HUGE get!! I don't mind becoming the next Linebacker U and QB U and WR U and DL U, etc...you get the picture
1 year 15 weeks ago	I totally agree...	Its so frustrating to watch! IMO it always seems as though its Morgan and Novak that are the guilty parties...Its even harder to watch when its a close game. I've never seen them with a problem like this until this year. Maybe because the team is under the microscope so much more, but man we got to correct those small misses when it comes tourney time!
1 year 16 weeks ago	No, not possible...	Kelly came from CMU to replace Dantonio. He was not on his staff as an assistant.
1 year 19 weeks ago	This is sad...	I'm 30,000 feet in the air, flying Delta to Minneapolis/St. Paul from Detroit and I'm logged into GoGo In-flight internet, just to check the status of our signed LOI's for team 133... I think I might have a problem?! In other related news...SOOOO glad to hear we might have one more signing day surprise...PLEASE be Kozan!
1 year 20 weeks ago	ESPN	Has never had a strong track record in football recruiting, substandard at best, since I have been an 'Insider' and began following football recruiting about 6 or 7 years ago. They do, however, fair very well in mens bball recruiting. Not sure why there is such disparity between the two college sports. '2012' post above is correct though, they have been very strong as of late with their predictions and nailed Garnett, Reeves and Kozan... Let's hope their right about Diamond! Damn we need him!...
1 year 20 weeks ago	Oklahoma	No sources or any of that bullshit...just preparing the rest of you for another day in 'Hoke & Co' couldn't close a f'ckn front door right now'. We haven't secured anybody but a couple WRs since our amazing 11-2 season, WTF happened to our guys?!
1 year 20 weeks ago	I completely agree!	What the hell has happened?!
