9 weeks 2 days ago Point Well Taken

I did not mean to sound less than certain we will win.
9 weeks 3 days ago Remembering 2011 Preseason Talk

Last spring and summer there was quite a bit of disparaging talk about our shortcomings and weaknesses. Maybe it was justifiable. Thank God our boys listened to our great coaches and played extremely well down the stretch. Sure, for 2012 we have a few holes to fill and some what ifs to contend with, such as: What if BWC steps up and "gets it"; what if JB or QW or RA, or even Pee Wee becomes a force on the DL; what if BC starts believing he is the second coming of King Charles; what if Def Roh strives in the switch; what if DRob kicks it up a notch or two; what if 'Tree or JG or even JJ becomes all world? I know there are a lot of ifs here - but Coach Hoke and his staff have me believing in what we would have thought as highly unlikely a few seasons back. Not anymore - I am a firm believer in team 133 with this coaching staff. Let’s reload and go beat the Tide!

Wow! Let’s get the Michigan FB coaching staff down to the medical research lab ASAP. They are in the zone and can do no wrong! I just feel they might have something else up their sleeves. Oh, by the way let's get the Powerball and Mega Millions numbers from them for the next drawing.

13 weeks 4 days ago Opinions about lil bro...

First off I'm not in favor of the lil bro comment as would prefer it not having been said. However it is harmless silly sports talk that should not have garnered nearly as much scrutiny as happened. Some have prescribed way too much consequence to Mike's offhand comment. Dantanio's supposed curse is world class BS. If Dantonio knew we were going to hire RR and spend the next 3 years in the Big Ten wilderness he would have written a book foretelling such and made millions then and every year on the sports talk curcuit. I am so tired of people giving this" bogey man fairy tale dribble" legs until I could just puke hot purple foam.

Brady Hoke will end this so called curse in 2012 and completely bury it with a national championship! Long live Brady Hoke.
16 weeks 14 hours ago Wolverines rule

A wolverine can eat a couple of honey badgers on the way to a meal.
16 weeks 1 day ago Is that correct?

I thought a signed LOI was binding for the commit's full term of NCAA eligibility at a university.  The scholarship on the other hand is annual.  However if a commit desires a transfer he/she must get a release from the university.  There are a few exceptions where the commit may appeal to the NCAA directly for a release.
16 weeks 1 day ago As Fred Jackson would say...

He's like Jeremy Gallon, but faster.  Two things I noticed about Dennis:

1) He runs with above average horizontal balance.  This smoothness usually is a good indicaor the runner does well on wet and/or slippery surfaces.  The other part of this is the runner's ability to cut using the heel rather than the forefoot, but I can't really tell this from his videos.

2) He uses a gliding gait that gives a deceptive appearance.  Of course this may cause defenders to take wrong angles and figure defender over confident in catching the runner, especially as the games drags in later quarters.

This commitment may be a very good addition for Michigan in the return game and in slot receiver play.
17 weeks 1 day ago Do you take suggestions?

I suppose the potential for legal ramifications may exist, but do you or would you considewr taking suggestions from your viewing public?  Just thinking it may be interesting to have a Lloyd Brady character visit from time to time - providing there are no copyright or proprietary impacts of course.  
18 weeks 4 days ago Snakelike quickness?

I put forth the following potential nicknames:

1) Cobra

2) Mamba

3) Darbo (obviously not snake related)
19 weeks 3 days ago Pee Wee was impressive

Three things that impressed me most about Andre Pipkens are:

1) His motor - the kid kept at it.  He was still running even when plays were going away from him and gave up only when the play was totally out of reach.  He also took good angles at ball carriers and avoided uneccessary traffic to get in on plays.

2) His will - seems the kid has a fairly healthy desire to excel, and plays with a certain level of agression.

3) "Intangibles" - I'm not saying Andre has "it" as a DL, but the kid appeared to have played within himself and did so with ease.  He was clearly producing without pressing.  To me this indicates whether a player has substantial upside as opposed to maxing out his abilities.
