Reading comprehension fail.

Reading comprehension fail.

I am commenting on Harbaugh's coaching tenure aka the last 4 years. The years before have nothing to do with what I am talking about. The fact is he has underachieved and failed by even conservative standards for him. This program is not in better shape now then it was 4 years ago. 

No other school in the…

No self-respecting school in the country would keep Harbaugh employed.

- 1-9 against Top 10 teams

- 2-6 vs OSU and MSU

- 1-3 Bowl record

- ZERO Big Ten championships or playoff appearances

It is an absolute joke that he is being given a fifth (!) year.

You're BEGINNING to think…

You're BEGINNING to think that?! This program has regressed over his entire tenure has while many other coaches have turned around programs in half the time (or less). The longer he is employed, the longer we will be set back.

Umm, Rose Bowl Championship

Umm, Rose Bowl Championship =/= Regular season basketball win

UM fans probably shouldn't keep making couch burning joes, dont you think? Also, Denard doesn't have any room to make fun of MSU considering his performances against them.

PLEASE

If someone could post a stream I would greatly appreciate it!!!

LOVE the Reiff pick by the Lions. Top 15 talent at a position of need, no brainer.

I didn't know it was this easy

In that case I am going to start a footoball team right now!

We will be the best of the 2007 Patriots + Oregon's offense. And on defense we will be the 1985 bears with a pinch of the Steel Curtain.

Wow this coaching stuff is easier than I thought!

Can someone PLEASE post a stream for the game that is NOT ESPN3 (it is blacked out in Michigan). I would greatly appreciate it!

UM and MSU have the same

UM and MSU have the same academic standards for athletes.

Yes, sorry if I wasn't clear

Yes, sorry if I wasn't clear enough, but the interview was not from his seats. It looked like FSD brought him onto the court to do it.

Yeah sorry I wasn't recording

Yeah sorry I wasn't recording the game or anything. I just had it on in the background and was like "Hey, that guy on the court looks like Denard. Wait a minute, it is!".

An idea...

I agree, and that is why I think an MGoTeam of Ace and Tremendous would be, well, tremendous. Have Tremendous handle the inside scoop/gut feeling/personal contact role while having Ace produce the in-person recruting scouting reports/recaps and basketball coverage.

I hate when people do this.

I like making fun of Sparty fans as much as the next guy, but I have never been a fan of bashing MSU as an academic institution. Their psycho fans are not a reflection on the type of education you can receive there.

Well folks,

News like this is why we are supposed to be excited that Denard and JT announced they are coming back.

wow

I know saturday nights on the site are slow so I really hope everyone gets a chance to see that you guys landed this interview. Great job and keep up the good work!

I highly doubt any of them

I highly doubt any of them will transfer, nor should they. Many good teams have 3 capable QBs ready at any given time.

And did you seek advice from

And did you seek advice from outside sources at all?

“Always. Always. We are constantly trying to professionally enrich ourselves with regard to the development of our offense, our defense, and everything. Our ego’s on the shelf. If we think somebody can help us, I’ll make a call here and a call there for somebody who’s done something more than I’ve done it. I get calls from people all the time asking me how we do things, but I’ve got people that are running some spread, good friends of mine, that know a lot of the nuances. So yeah, we’re going to do whatever it takes to get it taught. We’re not going to think we know it all and keep us from doing the best job of teaching the players.”

 

This is perhaps my favorite ever from these pressers. Some coaches think they know it all and are too stubborn when it comes to doing it "their way". Adapting to your personnel and seeking help from others because you understand that you can't be an expert at everything is a sign of a great coach, IMO.

Thank you

This should be stickied for the entire week.

Uhh, solution:

1) Put long sleeve shirt or Under Armor on

2) Put Sweatshirt (preferably maize, but does not have to be) or jacket on over that.

3) Put Maize T-Shirt (or whatever your "warm weather" maize gear is) on over that.

4) ???

5) PROFIT!

Every week should be a "Maize Out".

WOW

I really hope you are not a real Michigan fan. You better get banned for calling Denard that...

Agree to some extent, but...

Don't forget that Iowa's 2 minute defense played a big role in that. Iowa was purposely sitting back and keeping everything in front of them which is why moving down the field at the end looked so easy.

Look, I agree that the

Look, I agree that the liveblogs need to be moderated, and you guys generally do a good job of filtering out the pointless comments. I am sure that is pretty difficult especially with the high volume of comments.

All that I am asking is that the mods comment (or approve comments) that are related to the game. I don't come to a liveblog on a Michigan fan site (on the day of a game!) to get involved in inside jokes between the mods.

If by "commentary" you mean

If by "commentary" you mean your attempts at humor and your dumb banter with other mods that you think is so insightful, then yes, it is unwanted.

I actually have to agree,

I actually have to agree, Geaux_Blue is unbearably annoying in the liveblogs. He just makes dumb "Hurr everybody look at me I'm soooo funny" jokes that have nothing to do with the game.

That picture of Fitz, Denard,

That picture of Fitz, Denard, and Devin all celebrating the TD together is pretty awesome.

MODS?

So the mods act so quickly to pull down a Gholston thread, but this garbage stays up for 8 hours?

I am disappointed in you mods...

Well there is no need to

Well there is no need to guess anymore because Denard was definitely injured after that thuggish late hit by Rush towards the end of the game.

Gallon was great, and

don't forget, he had a nice punt return as well.

Thanks for doing this. Keep

Thanks for doing this. Keep it going all season.

Most talked about opener?

Uhhh you do realize that Michigan is opening the season against Alabama at Cowboys Stadium next year, right?

AHHHH

I would rather have DB allow 11 fuzzy wolverine mascots dressed in nike pro-combat alternate uniforms come out to RAWK music on the Big House field than this. But this cant be serious right? RIGHT?!?!

"Offensively: the transition

"Offensively: the transition from pro-style to spread is far more difficult than the move back. "

I have heard that phrase several times throughout this transition, but can someone explain to me why it is the case? I am not really sure I understand why. Anyone care to provide any relevant examples where this occurred?

Why the Erie hate?

I miss the old +1 / -1 system

I miss the old +1 / -1 system for a few reasons:

-When threads reach greater than 50 comments (which is common now and almost expected during the season) it was much easier to sift through comments with very high (or low if you're into that kind of thing) point totals.

-The fact that this system has a range of -1 to 5 seems like a huge flaw to me. First, not all 5s are created equal! Some worthwhile posts have deserved much more than 5. Perhaps more importantly, not all -1s are created equal either.

In the end, this site is Brian's to run as he so chooses, but I have seen several people agree with these sentiments.

If there is anything the last

If there is anything the last 3 years have taught me, it is that no news = good news.
