Want to see Rolder emerge as…

Want to see Rolder emerge as a reliable 3rd LB, Benny along with an Edge to make a jump into reliable starting rotation along the Dline. Crippen needs to be the real deal because I think the Oline will struggle a bit. Most importantly, we need a capable starter to emerge at QB. We've been spoiled with JJ so the new starter is going to get heat after a couple losses.

I concur, but can we at least acknowledge how ludicrous it was for Haller to bemoan safety concerns re sign stealing while seemingly ignoring alleged sexual assault being perpetrated by a member(s) of the AD?

I'm sure Georgia is ecstatic to have hired Smart and Clemson with Swinney. I'd rather roll the dice with a top-notch coordinator than someone like a Brian Kelly or Jimbo Fisher.

Surprised the Virginia…

Surprised the Virginia schools are so low. Personally, I'd love to add ND, UVa, UNC, Clemson, FSU, and Stanford to get us to 24. Potential pods:

UW, UO, Stanford, UCLA, USC, ND

Neb, Iowa, Minn, Wisc, UIC, IU

NW, Purdue, MSU, UM, OSU, PSU

Rutgers, Maryland, UVa, UNC, Clemson, FSU

Herbstreit has a huge platform on ESPN and impugned Harbaugh's character with this conjecture. I think he and Pollack showed their true colors. These are the thoughts of guys that would behave in the manner they're deriding if they found themselves in the same situation. Harbaugh has been a disappointment as a coach but I don't think he'd ever run from competition.

Yet, here you are. What kind of content did you think you would find? What kind of content do you think you will find on the OSU boards you frequent if you lose to LSU or Clemson?

So you're saying that because some heros don't publically project their ugly side that it's okay for Sanderson to tweet what he did? 

Why the need to delete a bunch of tweets? I supposed his homophobic tweets were okay because he's a "Christian" and, well, we Christians know gays are abhorent and are all going to burn in hell. Give me a break.

And how do you defend his tweeting pics of Serena Williams and captioning "disgusting..."? 

I'm of the opinion that this

I'm of the opinion that this was never a real offer. Vrabel doesn't have much coaching experience himself and he would hire an OC without any play calling experience? I think he did it to give exposure to OSU. Urban can now say he has a young OC that is coveted by the NFL.

I also think he's offering Warriner partly due to the fact that he is someone who could sure up the weakest link on our team.

I'm always reticent to proffer my sympathies in situations like this because anything I say winds up sounding so platitudinous, but your story welled up a lot of emotion in me this morning and I felt compelled to reply.

I, too, have young children and the thought of them losing their mother is frightening. I shudder at that thought and can't imagine what you're going through. I just know that you will raise two great Wolverines and their mother will RIP seeing that come to fruition.

May you find peace in these troubling times.

You would've been correct if that was the only thing you said. You also pointed out that Meyer processed 2 guys much earlier in the process and contrasted it to the Swenson timing. Why even go there?

Don't be so obtuse. You knew

Don't be so obtuse. You knew I was referencing the 2013 class where Jacobs was given the boot right before signing day to make room for Clark. This was right before signing day so I don't know why you would reference Swenson to make your point.

You just couldn't help yourself and made a dig at Harbaugh. When a new coach comes in and asks you to camp and you refuse, I would assume a subsequent lack of communication from the coaching staff would be enough. Swenson "knew" well before mid-January that he wasn't going to be a part of that class. He was just extremely immature about it and ignored it; hoping it wouldn't be true.

Gtfo with this bs. Meyer

Gtfo with this bs. Meyer kicked that Maryland kid out in his first recruiting class right before signing day to make room for the kid from Florida.

What a bunch of non sequitur

What a bunch of non sequitur bs. There is a huge difference between college and professional. College kids are still mostly malleable and a coach's influence can be huge. It's a known fact Meyer let his stars run amok.

Why would Urban go to Notre

Why would Urban go to Notre Dame where he'd face some recruiting hurdles? Notre Dame definitely has stricter academic requirements than Michigan or OSU for football players.

While Urban is a great coach, he's built his record with teams that had equal or greater talent than the opposition. That certainly speaks to his recruiting acumen but I don't think he could overcome the inherent recruiting disadvantages at ND

I admit I'm not giving enough

I admit I'm not giving enough deference to Lewis' accomplishments but I think Bolt's resume is easily more impressive given the manner he dominates. He doesn't even lose outside of the Olympics. 

You do fail to mention that Lewis won one of his golds because of Ben Johnson's dq. Also, that Lewis himself failed 3 drug tests leading up to those Olympics. Lewis openly lamented the use of PEDs ruining the sport. Perhaps he was well-versed in their use.

I still think the flly is the

I still think the flly is the most similar stroke to freestyle but we're not going to change each other's opinion.

Phelp's specialty is butterfly. Anyone that is great at fly will probably be at least good at freestyle. I agree that the fly is the most difficult stroke and not everyone can master it.

Why do you consider me pro-Bolt? Because I provide counterarguments to the pro-Phelps guys? I appreciate both guys for different reasons. Bolt is so dominant. Has he ever lost? He's also very cocky in a manner that is likable and not off-putting. People question why he doesn't participate in more events and I think the simple answer is there's no money in it. I don't think there would be any ROI if he tried to win long jump.

I also respect the hell out of Phelps' accomplishments. I won't see them rivaled in my lifetime and he's truly a special athlete. The sheer amount of will, determination, discipline, and athletic prowess he possesses is truly unique. He's a generational talent like Spitz was before him. Just like Owens was before Bolt.

One final point to consider for those that use medal count as a reason for Phelp's superiority: The list of Olympians with the most medals is littered with swimmers and gymnasts. Don't you think that weakens the argument?

Did you consider the context

Did you consider the context of the post to which I replied? I even stated it would be ridiculous for him to compete in other events. Pro Phelps guys always seem to point out the fact that Bolt doesn't do any events outside of his 3. I don't think these guys realize that the mechanics of butterfly and freestyle are very similar. Phelps isn't swimming the wide breadth of disciplines as they seem to imply. 

 

First of all, I'm not your

First of all, I'm not your son and I didn't "site" anything. Given your attitude, I would think using your middle finger would be a natural reaction and typing "c" would be easier than "s".

Second, when did I claim "Phelp is tainted?" I replied to a poster mentioning the 8 Golds in Beijing. That's a feat that I don't see being surpassed. I was pointing out that Phelps had a lot of help in that accomplishment because he was on the best relay teams.

And LOL at your citing golds for Lewis and Johnson in non-sprinting events. Bolt is a sprinter though I have no doubt he woud be one of the best in the 400m.

It's too bad you don't appreciate Bolt's accomplishments because he's not trying to be Jim Thorpe or Jesse Owens. What's wrong with just sprinting and being the best at it, ever? The fact you put Carl Lewis in the same conversation with him is laughable.

Phelps got to 8 golds because

Phelps got to 8 golds because the US has the strongest swim team in the world and therefore have most of the strongest relay teams. No way you're winning all those relay golds without help. 

I give him a lot of credit for being strong enough in breast and back to dominate IMs but I'd hardly call that pushing "himself to compete in strokes he wasn't the best at." Again, he's not competing in backstroke or breaststroke. It would be ridiculous and foolhardy for him to try.

You're being so obtuse by pointing out multiple runners have won the 100 and 200 in the same Olypmics. While that may be true, no one has ever accomplished that in 2, let alone 3 Olympics. You also neglect to acknowledge that swimmers' careers are longer than sprinters'.

While Phelp's accomplishments are unmatched, you can also wonder what might have been if swimming were more lucrative in Mark Spitz's day. It's not unreasonable to surmize he couldn've had over 20 gold medals.

Bolt doesn't run hurdles

Bolt doesn't run hurdles because he'd probably do as well as phelps would do if he competed in backstroke or breaststroke .
