6 days 22 hours ago	I never	Understood the lalas hate. I don’t think he would be a good coach per se but as a talking head he is nothing but entertaining. He’s also a Michigan guy (the state) and was a very recognizable figure of the USMNT 94 team that - I guess - kind of started the soccer fad in the US? Is that safe to say?
1 week 1 day ago	Exactly	The best soccer player in the world is 5’7 and weighs as much as a leaf. Our athleticism isn’t the issue.
1 week 3 days ago	The Hoke stuff -	Is my new favorite MGOBLOG tradition: debating blame for a prior coaching staff. Been going on strong since 2008.
1 week 5 days ago	And	He won five big ten titles and oddly enough his national championship was in .... year three.
1 week 5 days ago	100% true	He also gave up his wal mart khakis for lulu lemons.
1 week 5 days ago	Except	Lloyd won a national championship, went 10-3 against MSU, and was basically .500 against OSU (not eeking out a wine every five years). I think we all would take Lloyd at this point
1 week 5 days ago	This is	A dumb comment.
1 week 5 days ago	1-4	Against our rivals. With a better chance of going 1-5 instead of 2-4. Not on the hot seat but the leash is shorter and the it’s time to cut some of the cute stuff. Like the Amazon series seems fun but now you realize there’s a reason that Saban or Bellicheck doesn’t do HBO Hard Knocks
33 weeks 6 days ago	burying the lede	Wait - what is this about players almost getting into fist fights with coaches?
40 weeks 1 day ago	He recruited	Irvin and Walton. He's also been their coach for four years. They are now seniors. Playing worse than ever before.
41 weeks 5 days ago	I mean	We played Wisconsin Colorado and Penn State in the start of the season - not exactly cupcakes. We also played Maryland in November - not exactly the start of the season either. Iowa isn't exactly a world beater, we lost to them. And almost lost to Indiana - once again, not a world beater by any stretch. The argument that we played better teams at the end of the year doesn't necessarily hold water. It seems like we just faded a bit down the stretch...
41 weeks 6 days ago	Come on man	This seems like the classic backup qb syndrome. At one point this year harbaugh mentioned speight as a possible heisman contender and no one laughed him out of the room. I'm not saying speight is the answer but pining the seasons failure on him seems rather revisionist
41 weeks 6 days ago	Well, no.	And this is getting off topic but he pooped gold with what we thought was going to be his success here: The prognosis now is much better than it was in January. Hoke will be able to shovel early missteps onto Rodriguez's grave—already the tallest mountain east of the Rockies—and ride out the awkward transition from the spread, at which point he'll have a roster full of guys who are qualified, a career record worlds better than Rodriguez's, and a talent advantage over his division opponents. From there it's a matter of grabbing that goddamn win over Ohio State and seeing what happens. It's hard for me to think we'll be as good as spread terror du jour in any particular year, but let's whine about that bridge when we get to it. http://mgoblog.com/content/brady-hokes-intricately-rendered-sculptures
41 weeks 6 days ago	No wonder Mike Scott Hated you	Don't think he's comparing the coaching acumen of Brady hoke and Jim harbaugh as much as he is making a statement. At one point on this blog there was a tag that said "Brady Hoke Poops Gold." We loved Brady too at one point...
46 weeks 2 days ago	Possibly true	But TCU doesn't have the ability to draw in the eyeballs that Michigan does.  Agree with it or not, the CFP is still a "show" and Michigan gets ratings.  Make no mistake, the committee raised an eyebrow at the 10.4 rating from Saturday...
46 weeks 2 days ago	I don't know	if it matters who wins Wisc vs PSU as much as the type of game it is. People have fickle minds and tend to overreact to what is in front of their face RIGHT NOW.  If Wisc and PSU play a good fundamentally sound, solid football game that is back and forth until the end then I think the winner goes regardless who that winner is.  Conversely, if one team absolutely blows out the other, I think that winner goes, too. What we need is an ugly, turnover-prone poopfest, with both teams making mistakes, missing extra points, having lots of flags while remaining relatively close on the scoreboard.  It needs to be an ugly enough game that the consensus is that these are two mediocre teams that happen to be playing in the championship game due to scheduling quirks and happenstance more so than talent. (This is, of course, assuming one of Clemson/Washington loses). The rooting interest, regardless of rankings tonight: Clemson/Wash loss, with an ugly and non-memorable B1G Championship game.
46 weeks 4 days ago	Wishful	Thinking but this is the same logic I'm hanging my hat on. That fat 10.4 rating from yesterday is the second highest rated college football game EVER - CFP absolutely wants that market. Problem is what's the path to even give the CFP the option to get us there? UW and/or a Clemson must lose, certainly, but I also think the BIG champion has to get frozen out - no way they take three teams from one conference.
47 weeks 5 days ago	....	"they"
50 weeks 5 days ago	I didn't	Know (1) was the rule - if I had of known that would have saved me some last second stress before that 2 pt conversion.
1 year 1 day ago	But what does	@FauxBoPelini have to say about this?
1 year 1 week ago	But no one	Could ride the coat tails of a BCS win over a mediocre Oklahoma team like he could....
1 year 1 week ago	Ha.	Speak of the devil....
1 year 1 week ago	Don't get the joy	That many Michigan fans have to drudge up the past in the middle of an undefeated season - should we also have the RR/Arizona is 2-4 thread? How's that going for him?
1 year 1 week ago	College gameday with Tennessee again	What is this - the third time this year already?
1 year 2 weeks ago	MARCUS HALL EPIC DOUBLE BIRD OF THE WEEK.	For me, at least, is the delay on the ESPN watch app.  I am a millenial, I don't own a GD TV.  I have to turn off my phone to watch these games because otherwise it blows up with texts - good or bad - and I'm too undisciplined to check.  I knew the Darboh TD was coming before they even completed the prior third down pass!  #firstwordproblems
1 year 2 weeks ago	Rich rod	Era special teams disasters
1 year 4 weeks ago	Yep	Thought the same thing - Texas got the bump we used to get in the Rich Rod years after all our early ND wins.  The wheels will come off and at the end of the year both teams will be a big fat meh.
1 year 4 weeks ago	IIRC	Morris got one play as a blocker for Peppers before Speight took that hit.
1 year 29 weeks ago	Yedlin	Reminds me of that kid in might ducks 2 who was fast but couldn't break. Everyone loves his speed but he is so out of control.
1 year 31 weeks ago	This is why	People get mad at belien. Yes Caris and Spike are out but that doesn't mean that chatman can't play instead of dakich...
