2 years 27 weeks ago	Did I ever tell you	Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky took me out to go get a drink with him? We go off looking for a bar and we can't find one. Finally Brasky takes me to a vacant lot and says, "Here we are." We sat there for a year and a half and sure enough someone constructs a bar around us. The day they opened we ordered a shot, drank it, and then burned the place to the ground. Brasky yelled over the roar of the flames, "Always leave things the way you found em!"
2 years 27 weeks ago	At this point, I'm almost in	At this point, I'm almost in favor of the team purposely tanking next week against Wisconsin in order to ensure that MSU doesn't get an outright B10 title, especially if OSU goes down today. Almost.
2 years 27 weeks ago	Sadly, Clarett's troubles	Sadly, Clarett's troubles really only came to light after the MNC. It reminds me a little of the Mark McGwire/Sammy Sosa stuff in 1998, where everyone knew they were juicing and there was some evidence but not enough to tank them completely.  But if Newton gets nailed before the season's over, I've gotta think it'd be pretty unprecedented.
2 years 28 weeks ago	posted from iPhone	I think having medical redshits is cause for granting players medical redshirts.
2 years 29 weeks ago	Really bummed out	Really bummed out but I blame myself. Finally!  Someone taking responsibility for the awful defense!
2 years 29 weeks ago	Also, he was apparently blind	Also, he was apparently blind until recently.  Not bad production, considering.
2 years 31 weeks ago	Oh please.  That's like	Oh please.  That's like saying the QB #16 in NCAA '11 could be any random #16 in Michigan history, rather than Denard.  Except for #1, there aren't that many jersey numbers that enough different big time players have worn to be able to legitimately say you're not singling one out specifically.  "What, this #2 jersey?  Charles Woodson?  Never heard of him.  This is my authentic 2008 Sam McGuffie jersey!"

2 years 35 weeks ago	I don't see it happening.  No	I don't see it happening.  No matter how explosive he is, it's unlikely any NFL team would use him as a QB, except in a quasi-wildcat situation.  He'll probably convert to a WR in the NFL, like Antwaan Randall El.  But unless Denard converts to WR in college, I doubt he'd go in the first round of the NFL draft because he wouldn't have proven he can play WR at a high level going into the draft.  So that's less incentive to jump early. Plus, dude seems like a likable, grounded guy.  Graduating is probably important to him.

2 years 37 weeks ago	QB is a lot harder of a	QB is a lot harder of a position to play, and generally the more experience the better the QB will be.  RBs can come in as freshmen and do well.  The QBs' experience here is better than nothing, but it's probably not optimistic to rate them higher than a 3 till they've got two full years of experience under each of their belts.

2 years 44 weeks ago	Don't have a link because the	Don't have a link because the Every Three Weekly's website doesn't have any archives, but in 2002 Brian wrote an article for the UM satirical paper E3W titled, "John Navarre Blamed for Offense, Defense, Kicking Game, Iraq, 9/11, Everything Else."   That's the first thing I always think about when I see people who criticize Navarre.  He had a lot of faults as a QB, but by his graduation I had become a fan of his.

2 years 45 weeks ago	Plus, isn't the general	Plus, isn't the general consensus that David Terrell would've come back in 2001 if Henson hadn't left?  The run D in 2001 was pretty sick (ignoring TJ Duckett); they just lacked an offense.
2 years 46 weeks ago	Retributive justice feels	Retributive justice feels nice, but would essentially fuck over LLP's future.  If he wasn't able to pay for school, he'd have to drop out and wouldn't get his degree.  It sucks that he's been kicked off the team, but I'm still rooting for him to succeed in life.
2 years 47 weeks ago	Gotta say I'm pleased with	Gotta say I'm pleased with his solid academic prospects, considering the press lately on some other, unnamed recruits.  Will be nice to point to guys like Sousa to counter crap like, "RR only recruits meatheads!!1!!!1!"
2 years 47 weeks ago	Yes, that's exactly it: it's	Yes, that's exactly it: it's a good decision for all NCAA players to quit school as soon as they are good enough to make money, be it in the NBA or overseas.  Considering how insane the NBA has become with throwing money at anyone with "potential," and the fact that, at 21, Harris is considered an "old man" by NBA teams, he probably should have entered the draft sooner.

But their O will only improve if they bring back the triple option :)
