Date Title Body
This as our D's best performance to date

There were breakdowns..sure, but they actually tackled and had 3 and outs. 

I think injuries have held Denard back more than anything

Just imagine his numbers if he doesn't go out against BG, and plays out the full game against ILL, and that isn't even adjusting for the fact that at least a couple of his INT's are totally attributable to his bum shoulder.

The QB chucked the football at the last moment

I was pissed about losing the sack, delirious about the win and impressed with the Frosh's presence of mind all at the same time.

That tackle by Avery on 3rd down right at the

1st down marker was unreal. I literally haven't seen a Michigan defenseman make a "You ain't going no further son" tackle like that for a looong time. 

I am not so sure they let Stew go

He still does have a darn good winning percentage and is mathematically in the race for a Big East title. 

How would that be political?

Fox claims to be a "un-biased" source of news. 

They would just happen to really like Shirwell's "Family Values".

Then you clearly haven't read his

supposed conversation with Bill martin after the 2008 season. That was hilarious.

Technically Woolfolk would also be a

returning starter since he was one when he got injured. 

btw, Magnus, wanted your take on the Demens hype and the Woolfolk hype. 

What they fail to mention or understand is that

DC's will gladly have Denard launching air missiles all day than hav him galloping all over them. 

Until he has a B10 game where he burns the secondary to a crisp, this meme will not die. 

Suggestion for alternate model.

Take the number of yards predicted for the offense and use the yards/point of the defense and THEN predict the outcome of the game.

(Hope this is clear, I can clarify if you need). 

Defenses that create a lot of turnovers will be better modeled with this predictive scheme. This will also account for bend-but-dont-break defenses that give up lots of yards but not too many points.  NOTE: Jokes about our "bend-over" defense will not be appreciated.

Your prediction is actually (loosely put) using two  random variables without a joint probability term right now.

I am breaking out the ol Simmons

"I am afraid to say anything"

 

response here.

If I were you, I would check if the offer is

still open. If he is a big fan he might have already lost it already with all the bad luck they have had.

Completely legit on an official visit

Pearl hosted a barbecue party at his home for players not on an official (maybe even during a non-recruiting period, I am not sure). 

Harbaugh knows very well what is

involved with an NFL HC job ( I've seen him on the Ravens sidelines a couple of times). I am not at all convinced he would give up the perks of a college job for the NFL. If anything, he will jump for a big payday in college FB (LSU maybe?) .

Wow, the TW reference really hit home.

Brian regularly makes fun of the blame ND  fans put on TW's recruiting but fails to realize he is doing exactly the same. 

To be fair they weren't "beasts" under RR

either. They were barely serviceable.

Yeah, that was funny.

Also you can't hit stop on the timer as soon as you see the screen in Windows because it only *starts* all the startup applications then. It still needs to start connecting to Wifi and start the AV software at a minimum. 

Why doesn't Tiger Woods win every single tournament he plays in? That i one of the dumbest questions I have ever seen around here. I know people get shocked when favorites lose but one play, that takes a special kind of crazy to ask why they couldn't guarantee that they would get it.
One of the interceptions was clearly a miscommunication between him and wayne (read based on safety blitz). I would hardly call that a "terrible" throw.
What's your point? What's your point?
Not begrudging at all I think. Just curiosity I guess. Simmons always keeps track of his "predictions" and mentions it at the end of his picks column...fwiw
GBMW consists of the same morons that claimed Omameh was tearing things up and was a lock for All-American. Why the hell are you reading them?
Stating the obvious (this includes paraphrasing what Brian has been saying forever) is not contributing. Also, asking a question and answering it yourself == LAME.
It is remarkable how you manage to comment in every single one of the 1000 threads every day without ever contributing anything..not even by mistake.
I think RR is doing an okay job (B-) but your statement is retarded. So if try my very best in an exam and still answer very little correctly I still deserve an A??
RR is very internet savvy I bet his bulletin board just redirects to MgoBoard.
I doubt if visiting Sparty fans will have the requisite points to actually neg anybody.
This is awkward but I also wanted to apologize I've been reading this site for a few months now and just signed up for an account and got over-excited and posted a lot today. Apparently thats a no-no around here. I have learned my lesson and I will keep quiet for the most part now.Sorry for the trouble (I got an email saying I was annoying too many people).
Sorry my bad I misread that.
Can we get Dantonio's take on this already?
I think this years game might have made it into the list piggybacking on the RoboHenne-BE game.
That should seal the deal right there. Can't let her get away.
Not a great idea to rely on past streaks especially this year.
Can't generalize like that. When we have Sparty to drag our (B10) class level down, any mention of class is throwing stones when in a glass house.
No way they come in to the big house and beat us. This is the last year Sparty even gets within 2 TD's of us.
Agred on Boo freep link I go to detnews for all my news now.
I bet that 4-6 number is padded a little bit in an effort to try and catch somebody offguard
Did they ever try a hard count to try and draw them off? Or would this be something you wouldnt burden a frosh QB with?
Wasn't there talk of a light issue for 3:30 starts. Granted that might have been for Nov games though.
AA in the fall is pretty but I would go to Gainsville or LA if I was looking for a pleasure trip.
That would be ND's old tagline The new one is : All your Burgers and mayo are belong to us
Hard to understand how you are twisting Tom's comment negatively here.
This info really helps. I am curious What do you guys(IA fans) think of the coaching match-up? Looking through my M&B glasses I would call that in our favor...
If we get to PSU 7-1 and then get Molk back..lookout, new years day bowl here we come.
Stanzi is the kind of QB that we don't match up well with Hopefully we can just outscore them.
Speaking of Mr.Sheppard Last saturday was the first time I saw and I have to say, I would MUCH rather have Tate or Denard. I just don't get the hype for that guy.
As long as Brian doesnt go paysite on us I don't see why one would ever pay anybody for this info.
Agreed A healthy dose of Minor rage is what we really need (for the good of the O and the D).
Why is Tate wasting time with that loser I think he conveyed what he wanted in the presser.
Pearlie and Dequinta definitely fall in this category. Losing them really hurt us and we didnt know until the last week so I am not sure if there was a lot of time for us to play defense ( no pun intended) on that.
