hilariously, he got caught stealing 2nd to end the inning just a couple pitches later

Len & JD (Cubs broadcast team) were having a field day with it

there are Mo Ways than one to find him on the internet!

maybe Marshall's a UM basketball fan and MSU football fan?

the possibility alone of Mike Valenti's head completely exploding makes this a situation to monitor

it's not all it's cracked up to be...

I'm going to keep covering my eyes when opening up MGoBlog for a while in fears of a "[Michigan Player] to declare" post

thanks, i plan to wear out this file in the next 24 hours

Eh, don't care, we won the biggest game in recent memory tonight which is all that really matters.

no, just no

the serious concerns are that he's not yet developed any type of reliable 2nd offering, and that's not something you can just mentally overcome through guile and makeup or whatever, at the MLB level

this is the right move

coke binges.

probably not, but then again there's not much that Nix can fit into

i'm sorry, maybe one more time? i'm still not clear on what your point is

Thanks for this. I don't venture outside of MGoBlog much to follow recruiting, so I often wonder why these kids haven't committed yet when every single sign seems favorable for us.

they had a couple meltdown threads already get deleted for whatever reason

(it's been a slow work day)

Mark Donnal, come on down

If Embry wants a Michigan shirt, I know what he should do...

landing any of Hand, Adoree, Peppers would be fantastic, but for some reason Drake Harris is still the one i'm getting my hopes up for the most, and it really doesn't have much to do with MSU either

I KNEW IT I KNEW IT HOKE DOES PRESSURE RECRUITS

Recruiting strategy: invoke Woodson's name in talks with every DB recruit

Boundary CB: you can be the UM-era Woodson for us!

Slot CB: you can be the present-day GB iteration of Woodson for us!

Run-stuffing Safety: you can be future years' version of Woodson for us!

knew this one would be good news, given that it didn't garner hundreds of replies in a matter of minutes

well, it did work vs. IU - just sayin'

I look forward to seeing the 8 WR sets aTm will evidently be using, with all these guys

now Taylor has a companion for his twosie!

LaMichael James...Jacquizz Rodgers-type...well that settles it - Chip Kelly's going to draft him!

Brian

Oher's the RT in Baltimore

They've also produced Patrick Willis, Mike Wallace, Deuce McAllister, BenJarvus Green-Ellis & Dexter McCluster.

I like where your head's at.

G/C Travis Frederick, UWM and DE Michael Buchanon, UI might fulfill your needs in rounds 3 & 5

In some kind of semi-realistic dreamworld, this is what we'd do:

1-9) DeMarcus Milliner, CB, Alabama (trade #5 to NYJ for #9, 2013 4th and 2014 4th)
2-27) Bacarri Rambo, FS, Georgia (trade #36 to SF for #59 & 74)
3-3) Tank Carradine, DE, Florida St.
3-10) Kenjon Barner, RB/KR, Oregon (via SF)
          -OR- Denard Robinson, RB/WR/KR, Michigan
4-2) traded to MIN last year
4-9) Shamarko Thomas, SS, Syracuse (via NYJ)
5-4) Omoregie Uzzi, OG, Georgia Tech
6-3) Tavarres King, WR, Georgia
6-11) Etienne Sabino, OLB, Ohio State (via Titus Young trade)
7-5) Quinn Sharp, P, Oklahoma State
UDFA: Roy Roundtree, WR, Michigan | Ray Ray Armstrong, S, Faulkner | Sam McGuffie, RB/WR, Rice

and he had the critical 4th down conversion!

it was lunacy.

Whatever the position, I just know that I'm building my team around him in Madden next year!

So...time to offer Berkley Edwards?

*ducks*

How ironic would it be if he was awarded a redshirt, and declared after next season anyway?

in the middle of the season, on the Stony & Bill (and Sara) Show, they brought up recent comparisons being made about he & Christie and he interrupted them to say (paraphrasing) "I keep seeing him and thinking, what a good looking man he is!"

i had a good laugh.

I wonder if they're happy to have an excuse to do what game theory suggests is usually the smart move- foregoing a FG try for the promise of more points.

There was an article a few days ago, spotlighting Chip Kelly's similar policy for 4th downs:

damn, Urban really did recruit some athletic players

yup, nobody's beating that team

i thought this was going to be about The University of Miami

(rhetorical)

we can and will scheme around their DL

that Jack Miller is a DE.

i keep striking out.

Thankfully, I don't think I've ever heard Valenti use that idiotic phrase. I actually enjoy listening to him quite a bit, because he's usually very informed in his opinions (which I often disagree with); That makes for better radio than milquetoast wishy-washiness, imo. I can see where others would differ though.

I agreed with him in what he was arguing today. MSU clearly did have the better resume this year..

At the end of your youtube link, add an '&' and 'start=' however many seconds into the video you want it to start at.

For this video I posted of Burke's finish in the Ohio game, to start at 11:04 into the video (664 seconds) I changed the value for both value and src in the embed code:

value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9SDweePDCfI&start=664"

src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9SDweePDCfI&start=664"

So the final code looked like this:

<object height="315" width="560"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9SDweePDCfI&start=664" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9SDweePDCfI&start=664" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560"></embed></object>

And, voila!

We're going to run out of Muppets at this rate!

Hardaway Jr. = J.D. McCoy?

...and a two-assist night for Hagelin

and put it on my wall.

...but proud of Hoke for making the right choice. It had to be done.

But we lost to Iowa, who lost to Minnesota, who got demolished by Michigan.

So glad we don't have to play that team, though; we'd never stand a chance.
