entertaining if he was at MSU or Ohio.

that without the scandal, we would likely have not had poor coaches & poor attendance.  Our future, BB-wise would likely have been sky high, attendance would have been much better, better tv revenue, etc. which should have led to an upgrade of facilites.  Anyway, I like how things are now, it just should not have taken 20 years.

to another, literally.

is that Wilt's doctor told him he had the penis of a 150 year old man.

after their loss to Wisconsin in the playoff last year.  First thing he says is that M is sitting at home and will play in a better bowl game.  If he thinks life is fair, he'd be better off working for the government.

ever.  Wisky gives you a gift by not fouling, then we respond in kind.  Inexcusable.

to passing QBs, but as I recall he favored the running QB, B.J. Dickey to Wangler in the early parts of their time at UM, much to my dismay.

Bob Kostos will go on another rant, this time about the culture of drinking in our society.  It's a culture of lack of responsibilty for our actions, not guns & alcohol.

would not want to follow John R. Smith?

biggest problem in this game, run-wise as it was all year.  The failure of Borges to realize that in the second half was our demise.

different reasons:  Tress, because of cheating, but he could have been a pedophile as well.

i.e., how a person posts on most any question and gets scores of insightful responses in minutes. I remember when we had to look stuff up in books. Call me grandpa.

about all of this is that if Sandusky had raped little girls, he would have had the shit beat out of him, cuffed and in jail 20 years ago.  I don't see much difference if I was a victim or an eyewitness.

work for NBC, so must be a blend, but still-this is the US Open.  The difference between a great shot and a good shot in my opinion is mostly luck, not what I want to see, not what is fair and right.  Score relative to par means nothing except to us hackers who like to see the pros shoot above par.

funny as Bill Maher.

college presidents are generally out of their depth in AD and coaching hires.  We got lucky with Don Canham/Bo. 

the spread and at home.

chances to affect the line.

Tom-authentic sig on a pic as an early Patriot (skinny); Ford a print pic with sig. 

sofas, love seats and Lazy Boys are safe, at least for now.

reminded me of a golf partner I had.  Depending on where we were in the match, he would say we should lose this hole so we could press the bet.  RR would let the other team score so he could get the ball back or so it seemed.

man a couple years ago who had some buds who played for Kelly at Grand Valley and it was pretty consistent among the players that they thought Kelly was a total asshole and could not put a sentence together without using the "F" word. 

Looks like the collar is getting a little tight in SB-what a clusterfk.

the same thing sparty and VT did, force DR to throw.  The difference, I hope, is that DR is not the same passer as he was last year(s). 

is dumb on this.  There is no restriction on, say, Shane Morris from recruiting for the university.  Sure, he is not enrolled, but that's a technicality as far as I'm concerned.  He is in effect a student athlete contacting fellow recruits which I think is fine.

relevant so many years ago?  The arrogance of their recruiting was that they do not recruit, they interview.  It almost appears that we are getting that way.

The rest stops are filthy, the roads are crappy except the tolls and the speed limits make no sense and often < @70 mph.  And Columbus is a piss pot.  For the life of me, I can't figure why a kid would want to spend 4 years in Columbus when he could be in AA.

Since you don't feel the same way about Boston University, it can't be a local population cause.  Could it be arrogance if I dare use the term?  I've never been around either, just curious.

we want him to visit, but make it perfectly clear it's as a long snapper or CB.

look at OH, PA, IL, MI & IN as though it is Texas as to this coaching staff.

conspiracy theorists will not agree on this, Ford sacrificed his political career for the country when he pardoned Nixon, as if Nixon resigning in shame was not enough punishment.  Ford was most respected in congress, mostly for his integrity.  The article says as much about Ward as it does for Ford in that Ward was a good guy and liked by Ford for that reason.   

unfair.  I almost, almost feel sorry for Sparty.  They are rationalizing that many of our 4 star recruits will not pan out.  Some may not, bit I sure like the percentages and I'm sure Sparty would be doing cartwheels if they had half of our 2013 recruits.

In those times racism was not what it is today.  He was raised in a different time in a different environment.  If he was alive today, he would probably think differently.

now, so why will he become a prick if he is a CEO of a Fortune 500 company?

me not to get into a bar fight with you, but then again, what would we have to fight about?

I always wanted to pretend to be an architect, not a marine biologist!"

where is the "Large Commercial Transportation"  (truck driving)  major?

guy.

him always as Jake Butt-kicker.

with intent.  I remember Kelly Tilghman on the Golf channel made a comment about the pros wanting to lynch Tiger Woods the way he was putting at that time.  She clearly did not intent to make a racist comment,aploagized profusely and Tiger was cool with it.  Of course, she did not have the benefit of time before it came out of her mouth.  If the writer was fired without proving intent, just to make a public showing of pc., that's just wrong.  It was a stupid comment, but most people don't get fired for stupidity unless it's chronic.

and I dearly hope he does, I suggest he change his surname legally by adding "kicker" to the end of it.  aside from it being accurate (hopefully), it would end the jokes.  While that might hurt his employment options outside of the NFL, I would take the chance. 

need people like you to monitor any "ugly" posts.  If such posts are so heavily policed as you say, why do we need you?  I expect so you can feel soooo good about yourself, protecting women and minorities.

"obviously" is about the relative attractiveness of co-eds.  If you, the p.c monitor and protector of women of this board, do not like the subject matter, why did you come on here?

a rather bovine quality about them.  I actually saw one of them gnawing at an ear of corn, raw.

this is Ohio fergodsakes.

word "marginal" is telling.  What he's telling these guys, his parents, friends, family and the public is that there are guys who just signed on that they are not really wanted and they are there only because he could not get someone better.  All schools do that, but damn, that's outright thoughtless at best, cruel at worst.  He may just be the Saban of the north.

negative recruiting . . .

this morning had no info on a timeline.  He believes it's between Auburn & UM & thought it was equal as to new signees & existing players at both schools for playing time for Kozan.  He also said Kozan's decision would be influenced by their business school since he is very interested in that major.  Seems a no brainer on that-Ross vs. Auburn?  Kozan was quoted as saying that Auburn's business school was one of the best in the country-go figure.  I don't know what kind of student he is, but if he chooses Auburn, maybe he thinks he can do better in the business school at Auburn than UM. Just speculating.

the only MSU coach I ever liked.  Can you imagine Dantonio saying:  "We're small, but we're slow"?

for growing up in the "country" parts of Michigan, you know, the uneducated conservative hicks.  Seems the only political talk that gets dissed here is the non liberal talk.

propagating the WSJ.

are joking, right?

posters who try to dissuade you on the sports theme.  I know people who apply to UM for sports and that is not what the admission folks are looking for.  My daughter wrote her essay that was titled:  "I know where Jimmy Hoffa was buried."  She did not, of course, at least I don't think so, but she got their attention and was accepted.  Good luck and GO Blue!

My wife, the mall rat and not shy, just came home from Briarwood Mall.  She ran into Kenny Demens and Devin Gardner.   She did not know them by sight, just that with their size and dress, looked like football players.  She stopped them and asked if they were on the team.  They said they were and gave her their names.  What impressed her the most was how polite and gentlemenly they were.  She told them they broke her heart with the MSU loss (for us and them) and that MSU fans & players are such . . . and did not finish the sentence when one of them said:  "Go ahead and say it, because we can't".  She finished the sentence with: "assholes" and they both laughed.  Gardner was the more talkative, Demens a little reserved, but one of them said:  "Don't worry ma'am, we have OSU & Nebraska coming up and we feel pretty good about them."  She said she loves Brady and they said they do too.  Gardner gave her a big hug and Demens shook her hand.  Nothing earthshattering on the so called rumor, just a tid bit that does not look like a guy who is unhappy with the program.

of a pasture could he be in?

is that MSU continues to recruit thugs, puts a good/great team on the field year in and year out, we recruit Hoke guys and beat them year in and year out.

say is true.  My point was that RR was doomed to fail even if Bo was reincarnated and held pep rallies for him.  It was a bad fit, a bad choice from the get go, a panic hire.  RR was in no way a B1G coach who could win no matter the support.

what the Sparties call tough football, which I have no question about them playing on both sides of the ball, is that the late hits, arm bar and helmet twisting when our qb is on the ground, blind side punching is just plain pussy-ish, not something a real man would do, kind of like beating your wife.  More that enough of this, but had to be said. 

wanted to make a racist statement, I'm sure he could come up with something better than calling him "Tom" .  I suppose if he called him "a Tom" that would fit the racist accusation a little better.  So it's just a coincidence that Gholston claims he chose MSU over UM was because he was repeatedly called Tom on a recruiting visit? 

would we not see that in college hockey?  I do think the MSU coaches are guilty.  Gholston, when questioned about his dirty play said:  "The coaches told us to play with reckless abandonment."  I think he meant to say reckless abandon, but we get the point.

How could anyone be pissed that English did not get the job?  He may become a good HC, bit there was nothing I read r heard to indicate that at the time.  Of course, in retrospect, he could not have been much worse, if at all.

Would you?  It's easy to say others who are successful should be paid less, but it's human nature to want to be appreciated & paid fairly for what they do.  He does have a wife and children.  I don't see Warren Buffet taking a $1 year salary or paying extra taxes.

the same things from not too bright fans.  On personnel issues, I usually shut them up by saying:  The coaches see these guys every day in practice and know what they can do, we don't.

I'll bet Bo would say that you want your best athlete at QB which we have, no doubt.  Wouldn't it be crazy if we put Devin Garder in the backfield for Denard to pitch to for a pass or run?  I know, I know, but wouldn't that be interesting to see and put the defenses off balance?

JLS was a pretty good fit.

Like your mother in law going over a cliff in your new Mercedes.  Seriously, given the smack we are getting from the Sparties over our lucky win, it would be fitting for them to get hammered by ND, especially if we don't do the same to them.

an "Ohio" shirt my friend.

O'Brien does not read this stuff.  He might get the impression UM is full of pussified libs with no sense of humor or perspective.

He's too classy to be a bucknut anyway.

each other.  Per David Feherty, Williams is an a-hole.  Good enough for me.

the brightest student, tOSU will have a problem getting her.

U cant fix stoopid-a perfect storm.

such a hard decision for these young men on a college choice. Think of the tOSU recruits who thought they had a stable program and MSU recruits who thought MD owned the Midwest for years to come and then there's ND ...

The reason it works in Europe is because of the close proximity and the high gasoline costs, mostly due to taxes on gasoline.  That is the goal of this administration, high fossil fuel costs which make the alternative energy costs somewhat and I mean somewhat, competitive.
