11 weeks 4 days ago	Go Blue!	Best win of the season! So proud of our guys! GO BLUE BABY!
12 weeks 16 hours ago	Sorry guys, but I gotta ask... OT-ish	Where can I go to find thoe RISE shirts that everyone seems to be wearing? I've checked Moe's, and they don't seem to be selling it. :(
15 weeks 1 day ago	Congrats LSA. I don't really	Congrats LSA. I don't really know how this will change the board, but I do look  forward to more of your statistical analysis in the future. It really adds something unique and sophisticated to the blog that you can't find elsewhere.
16 weeks 4 days ago	Never been backpacking.	Weekend plans include going to work, enjoying a cold alcoholic beverage, and contemplating my future. While I haven't met any mgobloggers since moving to OK in 06, I have met quite a few Michigan fans in this state. Many more than I would have guessed. I've even had a few offers made on my car, with it's custom blue paint and maize (actual color) pinstripes.
20 weeks 4 days ago	Anything having to do with	Anything having to do with RichRod at Arizona. He is no longer our coach, and unless we are playing against him, what he does at Arizona has no impact on our football program. His tenure at UM is in the past, so let's leave it in the past. Going along with that, no more using him to bash on Borges. I get that some people are highly hurt by the departure, but it's time to drop it.
24 weeks 1 day ago	(No subject)
26 weeks 3 days ago	Variety	Dos Equis Ambar, Leinenkugel's Snowdrift Vanilla Porter, Noche Buena, and Session. I like making my own 6-packs, adds some spice to life.
26 weeks 4 days ago	I hadn't thought of that.	Even knowing how advertising works, it never really occured to me that my Adblock could be detrimental to the blog. Thank you, I'll be turning on my exception now, but only for Mgoblog. :)
26 weeks 4 days ago	Nothing.	My ad blocker keeps me from seeing any ads at all. I know, I'm boring... :(
40 weeks 3 days ago	Really?	Devin Gardner is a wide receiver... and Norfleet is our returner. What's up with that?
40 weeks 6 days ago	Donate multiple times	I plan on donating a second time, assuming I can afford it, just so I can get the thank you card as well as the rising hoodie.
40 weeks 6 days ago	Go ahead and neg me...	But I've been waiting for this confirmation all week(end). I feel like this is a very "I told you so" moment for me, since everyone was bashing Denard. This is why we really need to not bash players in the immediate aftermath of a bad game. Thank you for actually UFRing this, if for no other reason than to confirm that Denard actually had a good, if hidden, game.
41 weeks 17 hours ago	In that case...	I guess I am the one who missed it. Whole-hearted apologies, been highly emotional/irritated/impatient ever since Saturday. Shouldn't have jumped on you without taking more time to see what you were saying. Again, my apologies.
41 weeks 3 days ago	I think you missed it...	Did someone forget to turn on their sarcasm detector this morning? >.> I honestly believe that Borges had a perfect plan for this game, that would have worked if the receivers had executed better. Running Smith wasn't the best idea ever, but I'm pretty sure the gameplan was originally created for Toussaint to be the main runner.
41 weeks 3 days ago	I don't blame Denard for that.	Look at Denard's placement of the ball, and where Roundtree would have been had he not gotten manhandled. A lot of what I saw last night involved the ball being in a place where only Michigan receivers had a chance to make a play on it. Denard consistently got the ball where it looked like his receivers SHOULD have been.
41 weeks 3 days ago	Why be scared of Oklahoma?	Their offense is led by one of the most choke-tastic QB's in the nation. Landry Jones is kinda like Joey Harrington, all the tools to be great, but no mental fortitude whatsoever. They lost Ryan Broyles in the draft, and none of their running backs really scare anyone. They are good, but not scary. Defensively, their linebackers have become a weakness. If you watch them, their linebackers bite on a lot of playfakes. Against a guy like Toussaint, that would cost them a few times. If Gallon can get positioned for quick slants against a linebacker while the corner is occupied with someone else, we'd be able to move the ball effectively. Long story short, I would have preferred we opened against OU this year. I like our chances against them.
41 weeks 3 days ago	You're right.	We should fire Borges and hire a coordinator that will send Denard out running every single play, to be the one taking all the helmet to helmet hits from some of the biggest, fastest, most NFL ready defensemen in all of college football. That would have never lead to a season crushing disaster. Nope. Also, for the record, if you watched Bama's D you'd know that they always had enough men in the box to take Denard's running lanes away anyways. So he would have been putting Denard in a bad situation, for quite possibly no gain at all.
41 weeks 3 days ago	I'd like to see you try it.	The offensive line did not give Denard "all night" to throw. He constantly had a 6'6" defender in his face, and he had to throw the ball high to avoid batdowns and interceptions. Add in the fact that receivers (Roundtree and Gardner) were either running sloppy routes or dropping the ball, and most of the blame can be taken AWAY from DRob. As much as I know it will pain everyone, I can't want for Brian to UFR this game. If for no other reason than to prove that Denard wasn't the source of our poor passing game so much as the receivers. (The only exception was the SECOND  int, that was DRob's one really bad mistake of the night)
41 weeks 3 days ago	More please...	This vodka just ain't strong enough, need MOAR puppies and kittens.
41 weeks 5 days ago	Feed off of the negativity...	prove all of the analysts wrong. Go Blue, Beat Bama!
43 weeks 1 day ago	Don't care if it was posted already.	I missed it the first time, and I thank you, have my two bought already.
47 weeks 6 hours ago	I see what you did	I see what you did there... (Begins slow golf clap)
47 weeks 1 day ago	Helmet numbers	Jersey talk aside for a moment, why would we suspend the use of helmet numbers for the rest of the season? As far as I remember the players seemed to really like having them, and shouldn't that be the only thing that matters? It's just a number, let them have it I say. As far as the actual jersey goes.... for some reason it strikes me as more of a hockey jersey than a football one... could just be me.
47 weeks 3 days ago	I got it now!	Mine showed up about 2 hours after I posted yesterday... making me feel just a tad foolish for being so impatient. Lesson learned though, and it was totally worth the wait.
47 weeks 3 days ago	Yup.	I've been trying to wait patiently... but patience is a virtue I really haven't been blessed with.
49 weeks 5 days ago	Awesome work man...	If you aren't getting paid for this yet, you should be. Love the content here and on the Blockhams official page.
50 weeks 5 days ago	One number worries me...	I understand that if in Mattison's second year, the rushing defense is better, that teams will start passing the ball more due to 3rd and long and whatnot. But even if teams are getting more passing yards per game, shouldn't the completion percentage DROP if the defense if doing it's job well? Just trying to understand if our secondary is something to start worrying about again, or if I am looking too deeply into the numbers posted.
51 weeks 6 days ago	Not to burst your bubble...	And lord knows I have no interest in the debate crap that won't stop on this board... but... Brady Hoke was not the coach for the 2010-2011 season. That was while RichRod was still here. Please... make your pitchforks dull and your fires safe when you come after me...  >.> EDIT: Reread original post... and very confused, why would Hoke get credit for the APR When he wasn't hired until January 2011?
1 year 1 week ago	In all fairness...	If the fans had ever bothered to show up to Seattle games, and if the city would have built a new arena, you probably wouldn't have lost the team. Getting tired of listening to all the Seattle fans still crying about this crap when it was their fault to begin with. I honestly would have preferred that you kept the team, since the mere presence of an NBA team causes a rise in the local crime rates. You know about the shootings after Game 5 with the Lakers? Yeah, I'd rather you take them back.
