1 week 6 days ago	Actually, it wasn't quite as	Actually, it wasn't quite as simple as some would have you believe. The infractions, in the end, weren't extraordinary. But Michigan did cop to them, and the NCAA did find reason to penalize Michigan. Some folks here would have you believe that the whole Freep thing was a 100 percent fiction. Michigan did commit some violations. Not huge ones, but violations nonetheless. And the ol' "everyone else was doing them" argument shouldn't fly.
2 weeks 10 hours ago	Michigan would never elevate	Michigan would never elevate the AD, out of a legitimate concern that sports run the university. Never.
3 weeks 4 days ago	For the most part, the	For the most part, the greatest and truest rivalries have are regional. You can't just start a fierce rivalry with Texas or LSU. You need some kind of turf war.
3 weeks 6 days ago	I love their runners. I just	I love their runners. I just wish one of them would deliver on the hype in football. It's been kind of absurd so far.
4 weeks 4 days ago	Still preferable to at ND,	Still preferable to at ND, OSU and (pretty much) Alabama.
4 weeks 4 days ago	Agreed. It's funny how many	Agreed. It's funny how many people here are married to the idea that today's uniforms are completely traditional. The team phased out "maize" years ago.

6 weeks 14 hours ago	Do you understand that every	Do you understand that every team in the league wanted Darko? It wasn't a stupid pick. Sometimes it just doesn't work out.
7 weeks 15 hours ago	Yup. Christians and Americans	Yup. Christians and Americans are under seige. Give me a break. Stop embarrassing yourself.
7 weeks 1 day ago	This is a Michigan sports	This is a Michigan sports blog. Create threads like this on tv blogs.
7 weeks 1 day ago	Now that they weasel we out	Now that they weasel we out of the series, ND news is meaningless. They're dead to the world.
7 weeks 4 days ago	Lions are hosed. Trade down.	Lions are hosed. Trade down.
8 weeks 7 hours ago	It's sad how many students	It's sad how many students feel that Saturday is really more about drinking than football. Borderline pathetic.
8 weeks 3 days ago	Sure thing, goober. You do	Sure thing, goober. You do realize this is a nation of immigrants?
8 weeks 4 days ago	It's only unsafe when people	It's only unsafe when people ask questions like this.
8 weeks 4 days ago	Yeah. They're gonna hire a	Yeah. They're gonna hire a head coach from the wnba.
8 weeks 4 days ago	The scholly replaces	The scholly replaces Hardaway. A twin press conference is good news for Michigan. Nobody announces he's leaving with someone else.
8 weeks 4 days ago	If they're announcing	If they're announcing together, they're staying.
8 weeks 5 days ago	Fielder displayed the worst	Fielder displayed the worst two-day display of batting ever. Literally, I believe.
8 weeks 5 days ago	Actually, it's pretty fair.	Actually, it's pretty fair. All of these teams, including Michigan, tend to benefit from pre-season hype. It's institutional. My only issue is absence of ND.
8 weeks 5 days ago	Guy's not leaving to be a	Guy's not leaving to be a surefire backup.
8 weeks 5 days ago	A couple days ago, JB said he	A couple days ago, JB said he doesn't expert any transfers. So I think the point is moot.
9 weeks 2 days ago	People love to use terms like	People love to use terms like "regression to the mean" because they think it sounds important and scientific. Also "data points."
9 weeks 2 days ago	First rule of spring game:	First rule of spring game: draw no conclusions based on what you see in the spring game.
10 weeks 1 day ago	Not to be downer, but why the	Not to be downer, but why the hell are you so eager to to see a player who helped bring corruption and shame to the university in a major and lasting way? A great player, sure. And everyone deserves a shot at redemption. But he's still playing the petulant victim. I don't think the university needs a reminder of that tomorrow night.
10 weeks 2 days ago	Makes no sense at all. Those	Makes no sense at all. Those are the three best teams we play.
10 weeks 5 days ago	You're kidding, right? The	You're kidding, right? The guy fired the coach only after OTL aired the footage. The timing tells you everything. A coach who abused kids, verbally and physically, doesn't deserve counseling. He deserves to be fired. Some things are just over the line. And, according to all indications, the guy was doing it for years. The AD should be fired, too. His crocodile tears are bullshit.
10 weeks 6 days ago	I love the posters who just	I love the posters who just flatly say "of course it's rigged." As if they've seen enough evidence to conclude that there is a widespread conspiracy involving multiple refs.  The reddit video is a statistically meaningless sampling. You'd need to study games across the board. And of course the video doesn't take into consideration bad calls that may have gone against the Lakers.  If you're gonna be a conspiracy theorist, at least bring persuasive evidence.  The reason there aren't more mass conspiracies is simple: it takes a lot of people to a) pull them off and b) keep their mouths shut. People, in the end, rarely stay quiet.
