2 days 9 hours ago	The other side of that coin	The other side of that coin thuough is Michigan's ability to get after field goals and punts in the last few years (4 against UCF alone).
2 days 9 hours ago	Here goes nothing...	I'll see your unpopular opinion and will raise you a very unpopular one.  I too am glad that Michigan Stadium doesn't sell alcohol. I further wish that alcohol didn't exist at all. I don't understand the attraction... it turns otherwise enjoyable people into reduced versions of themselves, and often brings out the worst traits in folks, and that's all before crossing into more serious problems like health concerns, alcoholism, and threatening people's safety.

3 weeks 4 days ago	Doesn't seem so crazy to me	Doesn't seem so crazy to me that Don Brown might have some unique insight on the QBs since his defense plays against them regularly. Likewise, they could ask one of our 437 offensive coaches what it's like to face Gary, Hudson, and the rest of the defense.

9 weeks 3 days ago	Right	(at the risk of further stoking the fire...) I agree with you. Right or wrong, timing has a lot do with these things.
9 weeks 3 days ago	That's fair.	That's fair. When quickly skimming the front page those blobs of text caught my eye so I thought I'd share.  Given Mgoblog's recent and well-written meanderings into socially-sensitive subjects (health disorders, the MSU mess, etc.), it's not crazy to think an article might address a tragedy that has caught much of the nation's attention for the moment. When one reads more closely and that's not where the article is headed, it seems a little insensitive. FWIW, I'm usually on the "don't be so oversensitive" side of things, but this one struck me differently.
9 weeks 3 days ago	Well...	Firstly, thanks for the great site and content. Truly. Secondly, I agree that the headline and "BULLETS" heading could probably use a change.  They seem a bit tone-deaf.
