I was at the game: As the

I was at the game: As the team was walking to the locker room, Stribling was walking the opposite direction away from everyone else. Not sure why, it was weird. There were already a lot of fans on the field, and one ran into him and fell down. At that point he was becoming surrounded by fans and he pushed one to the ground. Godin quickly grabbed him and escorted him back to the rest of the team heading to the locker room.

Was glad it was limited to that, it could have been a lot worse.

I also saw a clip on ESPN

I also saw a clip on ESPN after the Denard interview of the band playing temptation during their post-game show and the students still did the you suck chant, making it seem like they were telling the band that they suck.  Stupid and embarrassing.

Agree

Meh.  No stats, hopefully that gets corrected.  They could have been a lot bigger.

Isn't it ironic

It is kind of ironic that Brian himself has been criticized lately for starting, what are viewed by some, emo whine posts.

I don't think the 3-3-5 is the problem, especially since we have used the 4 man front more against MSU and Iowa.

Really they only have to show up as much as they have all year since that is what his predictor is based on.  So maybe if they actually, you know, have a great game we could hold them to less than 38?

Don't think that is true

From the NCAA website:

"You should know that NCAA rules indicate that any competition, regardless of time, during a season counts as one of your seasons of competition in that sport. It does not matter how long you were involved in a particular competition (for example, one play in a football game, one point in a volleyball match); you will be charged with one season of competition."

Just curious

Assuming Christian is a servicable starter, why are people thinking we need to convert more than 1, maybe 2, players to CB?

No Sugar Coat

I don't know what it is but imitations of GBMW get me everytime BUT ALSO make me laugh everytime. No sugar coat.

annarbor.com

annarbor.com ran a similar story that was discussed a few days ago.  http://www.annarbor.com/sports/um-football/polling-website-says-michiga…

It had a little more explanation.

<blockquote>In the process of polling the Michigan governor's race, polling company Public Policy Polling added another question.

Do you have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of (Michigan football coach) Rich Rodriguez?

"We do add fun stuff to states where it seems appropriate," said Tom Jensen, the Director of Public Policy Polling and an Ann Arbor native. "We've polled on (John) Calipari and (Rick) Pitino in Kentucky and Roy (Williams) and Coach K in North Carolina."</blockquote>

A General Philosophy For Watching This Thing

Other than "have a good time with the closest thing to football you'll see in months": paradoxically, you'll probably learn the most by observing the players you've already seen a lot of, because those players will be going up against other Michigan players you don't know anything about and you'll have a baseline to compare them against. Unfortunately, there aren't a whole lot of one-on-one matchups that promise to put an experienced player up against a noob, especially if they don't run ones versus ones. If and when they do:

* Taylor Lewan is likely to be blocking a blitzing Craig Roh, Ryan Van Bergen, or Greg Banks.
* Troy Woolfolk will probably be locked up on an inexperienced wide receiver much of the time he's out there (if he's out there much at all).
* Will Campbell will contend with a couple of guards who we've seen play.
* Experienced tight ends will be going up against Michigan's new spurs and recently deployed linebacker Craig Roh.

Other than that, I'll be doing what most people will: anxiously attempting to see Denard Robinson's rumored improvement, trying to figure out what's up with Justin Turner, doing a hype check on everyone named Gordon, and hoping like hell the first defense seems tough to run against and not particularly prone to giving up the big play. Seeing the 3-3-5 in extended action will be interesting, as well. Also there's that Devin Gardner guy and the tailback war.

I think Shoelace is a pretty cool guy

Marvin Robinson

According to AnnArbor.com he will not enroll early. http://www.annarbor.com/sports/michigan-recruit-jerald-robinson-growing…

Although, hilariously the hyperlink on his name links to this story.

Gardner

Looks like contrary to what was posted yesterday (http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/sam-webb-and-ira-update-early-enrollments-m…), Gardner may still enroll early. http://www.annarbor.com/sports/quarterback-devin-gardner-still-hoping-t…

I know classes start today, but does anyone know when he would actually have to be enrolled by?

In the words of Kenny Powers

I play real sports…not trying to be the best at exercising.

Long journey by sea

I wonder if the six of swords could be referring to a distant future where Rich Rod is AD and conducting a coaching search. Because of future advances in communications he receives word on his yacht that Bill Belichick III is interested in coaching UM. BB III leads UM to 12 consecutive wins vs OSU/intergalactic BCS titles.

If you are looking for pizza,

If you are looking for pizza, I prefer Pizza House (Church & S. University). Although both Pizza House and the original Cottage Inn serve alcohol so you can't go wrong there. I would also recommend Ashley's or Red Hawk on State Street, both have pretty good food and Ashley's has approximately over 9000 beers on tap.

To facilitate traffic flow Ann Arbor-Saline rd to I-94 will be southbound only.

As a seasoned veteran of the pass-back I can confirm that people of all races and genders have gained entry to games using my Mcard.

What is Iowa's injury report looking like for this Saturday?

Too many gingers go to school there. Green, white and ginger.. its just gross.

Big Boy

The Big Boy theme song in the commercials say they are a Michigan thang.

Even Wikipedia can't name

a top politician/business person/ creative artist that came out of Columbus except Roy Lichtenstein.

"Ohio State currently has over 425,000 living alumni located around the world. Ohio State alumni include Nobel Prize, Pulitzer Prize, and Medal of Honor recipients, ambassadors, as well as Fortune 500 CEOs and members of the Forbes 400 list of the world's wealthiest individuals. Numerous graduates have gone on to become Governors, Senators and members of Congress. Ohio State alumni have appeared on the cover of TIME twelve times, with the artwork of alumnus Roy Lichtenstein featured on an additional two TIME covers."

Great design

one of the best so far. However, am I the only one that thinks the cursive o's look a lot like a's? Sorry just kind of bothered me.

I agree

I worked at JJ while going to school and there was no preparing the bacon, except taking it out of the box.

I know he wasn't a Lloyd player but

Shonte Peoples has to have everyone beat with shooting at undercover police officers he thought were stealing his Jeep, right?

5 yrs no interest + free hdtv

If football doesn't work out for Gardner and White they could always sell some furniture.

I can't believe

no one has mentioned Coner yet. This is just like that time everyone forgot about Dre.

In addition to the then/than issue

I think confusion arises from the use of there instead of their

lol.

"He is listed as 6-0 and 315, a little bit on the short side but plenty of substance."
