37 weeks 10 hours ago	posted from iPhone	I don't know about anti-Christ, but he has definitely shown to be anti-Crist...
49 weeks 6 days ago	Extremes don't tell the whole story	If you take both stats and points scored into account, hopefully we can all agree that, while the offense was not as effective as we thought from the first games (in terms of scoring against good teams), it had incredible potential and was dangerous. I think saying that the offense did not work, therefore we needed change is just a major oversimplification. If there was one thing that was working last season was the offense (yes, I know, except for OSU and MSU, ntMSU). To say that the offense wasn't working and stop right there, ignores that there were several reasons why it didn't perform to it's potential: - Denard as a first year starter. In spite of that, Big Ten Offensive POY. - Michigan offense needed a real alternate running threat. Once teams realized Denard wad the only running threat, they knew who to focus on. - Michigan defense and special teams were disastrous. As an offense, when you know that you know that the only real chance at winning is to score a TD in almost every possession, it creates an incredible amount of pressure that only an offense filled with upperclassmen could handle. Yes, the Michigan offense did not do enough to win key games, but in my opinion, the reasons above (not excuses), especially the defense and special teams, made "enough" a goal nearly impossible to reach. At the end of the season, I wanted change too. Change everything, defense, special teams. But at the risk of sounding like a grumpy old man, "get off my offense!" (lawn).
51 weeks 6 days ago	I disagree...	... He is not better than this. This is who he is. As a fan, I respect how a player conducts himself after he leaves Michigan, including how they support their Alma Mater. I am disappointed and lost respect for a few ex-players, including Desmond Howard, Braylon Edwards and Brian Griese. Not that they care what I think, but it is what I think.
52 weeks 11 hours ago	SEC B1G Challenge	I love this idea, as long as the B1G teams get the home portion of the games played in late November. I bet the SEC teams would all choke playing in cold weather.
1 year 4 weeks ago	"Borges, unlike Mattison,	"Borges, unlike Mattison, obsessed over last year’s tape" For some reason, the above statement makes me think the offense will be fine. I mean, why be obsessed over watching last year's tape if you are not planning to use at least some portions of that offense? To me what we saw in the spring game is just a practice on the new concepts, as in, why practice what they already know? Also, what Borges said about not wanting to show all of the offense makes a lot of sense to me. Or I am in just plain denial...
1 year 19 weeks ago	Not thrilled...	... I was all in for RR, but just as I wished he had gotten more support, I will be open and embrace Hoke as the coach, and hope for the best. There is something that would really get me excited: that in the Ohio State at Michigan game, he gives a speech where he basically tells OSU that their days of dominance over UM are over. It would set the intention and the tone of what will be and that would get people excited. I remember when Tressel addressed the fans that basketball and stating how he would make everyone proud "31x days from now in Ann Arbor", and how the crowd got wild, and I was laughing thinking "how arrogant! we will give him a rude welcoming". Little did I know that in 10 years we would only win 1 game against Tressel? It's time to return the favor!
1 year 19 weeks ago	Exactly!	I'm so frustrated... But hey, what's done is done. I'll whine today... Move on tomorrow...
