It's all about the Premier League (EPL/BPL) if you want to really get to know class soccer. No other leagues even come close in comparison from top to bottom in terms of talent. Manchester City is my team. Whatever you do, don't root for Chelsea. Jose Mourinho is a complete d-bag of a manager.
If someone on here really thinks that this goal is due to the defender being slow and not due to Gareth Bale's pace, you have serious issues and obviously don't follow soccer much. Gareth Bale is quite possibly the fastest player in the world. So anyone trying to make this about the defender being slow is an indictment to the class that Bale is. This wasn't his best goal ever, but under the circumstances, without Ronaldo, it is a great goal.
Interesting offer. I like it. Interesting in that, Steve Lorenz just said the other day that Michigan wouldn't offer him, not because of on-field concerns, but off-field concerns. Maybe those finally got cleared up. Who knows. But I'm a huge fan of this guy. Much more than Enwere, no offense to him. Watched Jones make someone fall flat on their face in the UA game last night when they tried to tackle him.
No evidence or anything here. But just from pure speculation I would assume the '13 guys get the bulk this coming year. However, I think the '14 class of WR's all have star potential and therefore, down the road, I think the '14 class will go down as one of our best WR classes ever. They're all different receivers to me, which is exactly what you want in one class.
I've been on the Shane bandwagon since he committed. I still want him to RS next year and let Gardner be our QB. I think they asre both capable high-BCS caliber QB's to be honest. Good problem to have. Some points about Shane last night that I wanted to comment on. Accuracy seemed improved on the intermediate throws. There were at least 3 other times that he hit Gallon in the hands or Funchess in the hands that they dropped. Shane also seems to have impreccable footwork in the pocket compared to DG. Shane actually steps UP in the pocket and slides left and right and doesn't take useless sacks. He is also a deceptively athletic kid, which I knew already but many people didn't. All in all, congrats on your first start Shane. The future is bight for him.
I just want to see the O-line continue to progress. I also want to see Shane rip a few deep just for fun. But all in all, I want to see him be more accurate then he has been so far between his high school careers, camps, and this year. I'm excited to watch the future play tonight.
Why are people surprised by this? No kidding Hand is going to recruit his friend and #2 prospect in the country to Bama? Ho hum. JP is going to be playing for Michigan.
My first comment meaning if you're this supposed to be wonder boy that committed to USC in the 7th grade, I feel like you should be the best person far and away in your own highlight tape. Your pretty much unknown 3-4* receiver who hardly anyone knows about shouldn't be outshining you in your OWN highlight tape. And no it's not because Malzone has wide open receivers. It's where he places the ball on almost every pass. I'm actually a fan of the hitch sort of throwing motion he has. Throwing motion is the biggest load of BS I'v ever heard. I'm sure people have heard of Matt Stafford. How does he throw the ball? It's side arm almost 75% of the time. Rich Gannon was the same way. There's a number of others too. Each person has his own preference. Mine is not Sills. It seems like he probably hasn't grown much as a QB since he got that offer in th 7th grade, which concerns me.
Also forgot to mention but I had family members go to watch one of their games earlier this year, all of which have coached football either in college or high school. They were going to watch Sills specifically. Said they were highly unimpressed with him. Said Canteen was the more impressive by a country mile with Watson actually 2nd ahead of Sills as well. And I also didn't tell them that Canteen and Watson were Michigan commits so they wouldn't be biased. So take that FWIW but not what I want to hear from people completely unbiased of the situation
Thowing my opinion in here. I've watched the kid a few times on tape and expected to be blown away. But I'm not. I'm not saying he's a bad quarterback by any means, but he looks like a 3-star kid on tape to me. I'm not a star hog either, but QB's and star evaluations tend to be fairly accurate. Especially ESPN's rankings. Luginbill does a good job of evaluating. Canteen impresses me more than Sills in his tapes. The WR should never outshine the QB that's supposed to be a high D-1 recruit. I just disagree with this offer at this time. I've watched most of who we thought were our top 6's tapes and Sills might be the least impressive to me of the those 6. I personally like Malzone, Kearns, and Johns, probably in that order.. Malzone just seems to have some sort of "it" factor to him and he looks like a 4 star quarterback to me on tape. Kearns has a lot of accuracy like Malzone, but I also think Kearns is helped by his receiver #2. I have no idea who he is but he looks like a high caliber D-! WR on Kearns' tape. Johns has potential, he has some athleticism to add to the position. Seems fairly raw though. So this is just my two cents. I'm not fond of the offer to Sills but I guess we'll see.
I think he knows offense because I've seen his offenses. He's not a good head coach but i think he's a great offensive coordinator and play caller. He's a pro-style guy. He can recruit his ass off. If he gains his player's respect he'll be fine. I don't think he will be here I'm just saying. Depending on the bowl game playcalling I'd like Borges to stay another year
Proud of DG. Played a near perfect game. Stepped up in the pocket a couple of times even today. Saw him go through progressions a couple times as well. Only complaint is that he didn't go through progressions on the 2 pt conversion, I know it was designed for Dileo but he has to see he's not open. And I'm still not mad about that because he was great today. Anyone saying move hm back to receiver is dumb. When he has time he is a complete Quarterback. And everyone complaining about burning Shane's redshirt you realize he can redshirt anytime right??? He can redshirt next year and still be a 3rd year sophomore like he would be if he redshirted this year. Bellomy can back up next year.
I'm against the grain on this one. The same plays have been called most of the season. The offensive line played well today. Gave DG time. When DG has time he executes more than not. Thought the game was called well start to finish. Agree with going for the 4th and 2 the first time. Agree with going for 2. Think the 2 pt call was fine. DG didn't read the defense. That's on him not Borges. Defense has to play better. 400 rushing yards is unacceptable. The future is bright. I'm on the fence about firing Borges. Funk yes still. Borges, I'll let you know if people open up. I would take Lane Kiffin given the chance. Either way, it's been a long season but I still love Michigan and every player on this team. Brady Hoke is our coach and should be. He's not Lloyd Carr 2.0. He was aggressive today and i loved it.
Not your best game defense. Missing a lot of our guys though. Ohio has a great offense. Not much we could do. Thought it was overrated all year anyway. We'll improve as our studs get older
Support the call 100%. We had a QB one hit from being done and Shane coming in. A placekicker who can only make field goals outside of 50. and a defense that have gotten wrecked by the run all game. Take your chance to win when you have it. The play though. That's the first time all game I saw DG not go through his progressions. He was going to Dileo the whole time. Other than that great game. Hate those motherfuckers with a passion but they played great as well. Go Blue. Fuck Urban Meyer
First time i haven't seen DG go through his progressions today. Fin with the call though. Play to win. Still fucking hate Ohio and hate Urban Meyer. Please win Alabama because I don't want these mother fuckers in the national championship game
Even if we end up losing this game I'm proud of this team and I want to keep it under the spread so we can make all of those mother fuckers out there that didn't have faith in us pay.
Been impressed with DG throwing the ball today. Shown a lot of heart with being injured. He's just gotta learn to step up in the pocket if he's gonna be sacked and scramble with 2 hands on the ball

Countess and Taylor have both utterly shit the bed this game.
lol. How'd I know we'd still give up a first down? I didn't think it would only take one play though
Been happy with Shane thus far. That is all I can say positive so I'll just leave it there.
I just want to see the O-line continue to progress. I also want to see Shane rip a few deep just for fun. But all in all, I want to see him be more accurate then he has been so far between his high school careers, camps, and this year. I'm excited to watch the future play tonight.
When I try to watch them it says they are private highlights and i can't watch them. Any way around this??
Most impressive thing to me was his tackling technique. He actually wraps up at the ankles. Hardly seem to see that anymore.
to each his own
And I see Pepper's comments as someone just messing with the press and reporters. He knows he's coming here
Why are people surprised by this? No kidding Hand is going to recruit his friend and #2 prospect in the country to Bama? Ho hum. JP is going to be playing for Michigan.

Yes. Go for 2!!!!! Play to win
Perfect play call
When they score. And if we go down and score. I hope we go for 2. Because we won't win in OT. We can't stop them
Good job D. We're really missing Pipkins in the middle today
Fuck you Ohio
I'll admit that I didn't either
come on matt wile
I like running the ball there
I'd guarantee either a rollout or an option here. They havent stopped the option all day but I wish they would've gone there on 3rd
He is really hurt. He's a warrior right noe
If they called DG's a fumble even with the evidence to support otherwise, this better be a fucking fumble.
Even if we end up losing this game I'm proud of this team and I want to keep it under the spread so we can make all of those mother fuckers out there that didn't have faith in us pay.
Thank you DG for stepping UP into the pocket. Keeping us in this game. Maybe the defense will ge ttheir heads out of their asses now
Jake Butt is going to be an All-B1G TE at least once by the time he leaves too
Lewan has played a damn great game today too
Been impressed with DG throwing the ball today. Shown a lot of heart with being injured. He's just gotta learn to step up in the pocket if he's gonna be sacked and scramble with 2 hands on the ball
Game, set, match. Thanks refs. Thanks Defense
Just get it over before the score gets too bad
I'm fine with going for it there. We're not going to stop them anyway so field goals don't help
I truly believe that's game
How does he even get caught from behind on that play in the first place. Should have been a first down easy.
DG has to learn to step up into the pocket. A 2 yard sack is better than a 10 yard sack
Obviously I want to win, so bad. But I am glad that we at least came to play and didn't just come out and get smacked around
Wel if that's the case, then lets all agree to go there and not split us up between threads. Everyone to one thread
Also, can we make sure no one starts a second half thread? Just keep it on this one
Sums up my feelings exactly
