1 year 38 weeks ago	WMU QB	I remember when they said Tim Hiller was the greatest QB ever 2 years ago.  We saw how that turned out in the opener...
1 year 41 weeks ago	Time will tell	We won't truly know how Michigan's offense will look under Hoke/Borges from a long term perspective until Shane Morris is under center.  Until then, the coaching staff will use the strenghts of Robinson and Gardner to dictate the play calling.  This won't be a complete disaster like 2008 all over again.
2 years 5 days ago	Nothing but a marketing campaign to sell jerseys. Disgusting!	What is wrong with this uniform?
2 years 4 weeks ago	Darius to the NBA this year	I think Morris is a great college player for Michigan and I hope he is successful if leaves for the NBA this year.  However, it is clear (I'm not a NBA scout obviously) that his game has a lot of room for improvement and he probably could use another 2 seasons in college to get him ready. I just don't see how a PG that can't drive to his left or shoot with any consistency can compete on a nightly basis with other PG like Derrick Rose, Russell Westbrook, or Chris Paul.   At the same time, it is a historically weak draft and I can't blame him if the money is waiting for him.
2 years 7 weeks ago	Rich Rod	I think I just saw Brian walking around in a OU polo....
2 years 8 weeks ago	Bravo	You are a true humanitarian.....good for you!
2 years 8 weeks ago	vomit	I'm surprised Brian didn't use the old "trying to fit a square peg in a round hole" cliche....blaaaahhh
2 years 9 weeks ago	Great day! Tressel is out and Michigan will	Beat Duke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2 years 11 weeks ago	big game	I hope all of the Michigan fans attending the game tomorrow bring their A game.  I know I am  attending a football esque tailgate tomorrow, let's make Crisler loud like it's 1993.
2 years 12 weeks ago	Rebounding	I love Novak and everything he brings each night, but he is asked to do way too much down low.  Novak has huge testicles, but Michigan got killed on the boards and it was making me crazy watching Wisconsin get offensive rebound after offensive rebound.  This team will not take the next step until they get a true physical power forward down low that does not have a physical disadvantage to do all of the dirty work needed to win. Morgan is developing into a really nice player and I think he still has a huge upside.  However, he seems to make an extra unecessary move at times when he gets the ball in a good position to score.  He did that a couple of times tonight.   Even with a loss, Michigan is a fun team to watch and I think this has been Beilein's best coaching job at Michigan so far.
2 years 13 weeks ago	Bill Simmons	I'm a huge Bill Simmons fan and I listen to every BS Report podcast.  He is the only thing that is good on ESPN and I can't wait to see his website.  Good News!
2 years 17 weeks ago	The lineup of pictures is	The lineup of pictures is hillarious!
2 years 17 weeks ago	His TD run against the Irish	His TD run against the Irish in '09 was an awesome moment.
2 years 17 weeks ago	Qb depth	I support the decision that he wants to transfer, but I found the press release to be very strange. Let's hope denard and devin will stay healthy, the QB position will be 1 injury away from a walk-on if either player gets hurt.
2 years 18 weeks ago	Bill Martin	You really miss Bill Martin...wow! Rich Rod is not the Michigan coach and he should have been fired the day after the OSU game, I just don't understand how people can still defend a Coach that won 6 big ten games in 3 seasons at Michigan? That wouldn't be acceptable at Purdue! I think it is time for all of the Rodriguez apologists to realize that Day 1 of the restoration of Michigan football began today and the program is finally in good hands once again. Today is a great day! Go Blue!
2 years 20 weeks ago	2nd choice	If Harbaugh falls through, I think the focus should shift to Lloyd Brady as the next head coach!
2 years 20 weeks ago	It was an accident	I have no idea how that happened, it must be a omen from the recruiting gods.
2 years 20 weeks ago	The fat lady is not scheduled to sing until Feb. 3rd	If the next coach is in place by the end of the week, he will have a month to save this class. Anyting can happen,I wouldn't count Michigan out just yet!

2 years 20 weeks ago	You are missing the point	I was simply trying to point out that there are still a small minority of Michigan fans out there that still want to see Coach Rodriguez lead the team out of the tunnel in 2011.  I believe that small minority of fans are failing to look at the big picture and are in denial.  We all know fan is short for fanatic.  Therefore,  I think every fan in any sport for any team has an element of blind faith when it comes to who they root for.  Following the Wisconsin game, I finally reached my breaking point as a Michigan fan and was able to look at the current state of Michigan football objectively.  Those fans that have not reached their breaking point with this regime are looking at the situation with their beer goggles on.  That is all I was trying to point out and I just can't figure out how that is insane or unreasonable?
2 years 20 weeks ago	You must be confused...	"Butt F..ing magic" is the act that you do with your buddies when you guys are sitting around listening to Josh Groban and has nothing to with anything I wrote.   You are mad, calm down sir!  The sun is gonna come up in the morning.
2 years 20 weeks ago	I don't think the words	I don't think the words "Blind Faith" and "magic" are dramatic at all relative to the opinion that Michigan was going to suddenly play well in the bowl game after the dismal performances against Wisconsin and OSU.  I don't care how much time there was between games.  Besides Mike Martin, the 2010 defense lacked blue chip future NFL talent across the board.  To improve the defense, Michigan is gonna have to recruit high level talent once again on that side of the ball to establish quality depth.  That must be the number 1 priortiy of the next head coach.  Therefore, the words "blind faith" and "magic" were accurate descriptions of fans that believed they were gonna play better due to the awarded extra practices.
2 years 20 weeks ago	your welcome	First of all, I don't think that there is anything wrong with venting my frustrations on the current state of Michigan football and stating the obvious (horrible defense).  Secondly, I do think Bill Martin was a great AD from the business end. However, he screwed up the football coaching search three years ago and may have hired 2 below average men's basketball coaches (the jury is still out on Beilein).  Ultimately, his legacy as AD will be devided into two categories: 1.  Hiring Rodriguez, Amaker, and Beilein. 2.  Rennovating Michigan Stadium and pulling the Athletic department out of the red.   Finally, accusing me of stereotyping the Michiagn offense is a little dramatic. I think it is healthy for people to have a variety of opinons and not to be so sensative.
2 years 20 weeks ago	Blind Faith	Through blind faith, a lot of my fellow Michigan fans believed that this team was going to magically get better over the last 5 weeks. Well, this team somehow got worse! I hope all of the remaining Rich Rod supporters finally had their rude awakening yesterday and will use common sense to realize that this brand of football will never work at Michigan.  Horrible defense, horrible special teams, and a cute offense that turns the ball over and is only good between the 20's will never be a recipe to win football games.  The program hit rock bottom yesterday and I hope the right man will be hired to take Michigan Football back to the mountain top.  I firmly believe that Dave Brandon will get his man and will not be on a sailboat in the Florida keys during the most important week of his career like the previous AD!
2 years 23 weeks ago	The Stagg-Paterno Championship trophy??	Paterno's longevity and record  is amazing, but most of his success happened before Penn State entered the Big 10.  He has only won 3 big ten championships and 2 of them were shared.  The historical indenity of the Big 10 has nothing to do with Penn State or Paterno.  It makes no sense at all!  Stagg is a legend, but he only won 7 big ten championships for a school that left the Big 10 in 1946.    Yost won 10 during the same era!  His name belongs on there before Stagg! I understand that the coach of the year trophy is called the "Shembechler-Hayes" trophy, but that should be the name of the championship trophy! They made the Big 10 special in the modern era, not Stagg or Paterno.   Bo and Woody combined for 26 Big 10 Championships (13 each).  All they did was win Big 10 championships, shouldn't that be reflected on the Big 10 championship trophy or whould that make too much sense for Jimbo?
2 years 24 weeks ago	Keep dreaming	It will be hard to make chicken salad out of chicken__ in just 3 weeks. Especially if chef Robinson doesn't even belong in the kitchen at the local Mcdonalds. I hope you are right, but it won't be that simple.
2 years 24 weeks ago	Sorry to offend you.	I'm glad you took the time to find something I wrote months ago. You must really take yourself seriously. It seems that you made it a point to attack me because I think Michigan will struggle in the bowl game. However, you have not made a valid comment from an x's and o's standpoint on why Michigan will be competitive in the bowl game. Football games are not won through blind faith. Michigan has been awful under Rich Rodriguez for 3 seasons against quality opponents, it is not going to suddenly change in the next 3 weeks.
2 years 24 weeks ago	I'm not proud of that post.	I was drunk and emotional that day after a tough loss. Since then, I've learned from the inspirational lyrics of Josh Groban to make myslef a better person.
