9 weeks 5 days ago	No, I agree.  That is	No, I agree.  That is certainly one way to interpret that statement.  With everything you hear about student athletes these days coupled with the thought of majoring in engineering while playing football, it's hard not to be jaded.  That's a crazy workload.  That being said, Adam Finley, our old punter, recieved his degree in Biomedical Engineering so it can be done.
9 weeks 5 days ago	Engineering	The thing that stood out to him the most about Alabama was the engineering program?  Certainly, that is one battle we will win.
9 weeks 6 days ago	Exactly. Beat me to it.	Exactly. Beat me to it.
9 weeks 6 days ago	Behavior	I think it's a good point to mention that Michigan recruits a lot of the same players. What I would like to believe is that once they get to Michigan, our coaches do a better job at educating them and instilling qualities that will help them succeed and make good decisions It seems that it may not only be the types of kids the programs recruit but the culture of the programs once the recruits arrive. If players are put on a pedestal and allowed to take shortcuts or get away with small and petty things, they can start to feel invincible. Ultimately it can lead to situations like the alleged one here or those last year at ND.
10 weeks 1 day ago	Psyche	Having the guys on the line helps the comfort level when shooting a critical free throw.
10 weeks 1 day ago	Agreed	If anything, at least having the rest of the team out there for the shooters to see them helps the psyche instead of leaving them all alone.
29 weeks 6 days ago	ACC Challenge	Living down here on tobacco road, I can't wait to play NC State at the beginning of the season. After years of taking the backseat to UNC and Duke the Wolfpack appear to be the frontrunners in the ACC (not sure if I agree with the experts on that one). I have to say in the last several years I have lived here their fans have become exceedingly obnoxious about their teams. I'd love to get some payback after having to sit through a loss to them the last time we met down here for the challenge. It should be a far cry from Amaker's pass it around the perimeter for 34 seconds and launch up a prayer offense. I don't miss those days. Exciting times for hoops in Ann Arbor.
36 weeks 1 day ago	Hoops	Didn't Jennings lead you guys to a state championship in basketball that same year?
36 weeks 1 day ago	Bitter	Yeah I'm still bitter because Portage Northern used to crush Norrix back when I was in highschool... and the fact he was so good but blew his chance at Michigan.
36 weeks 1 day ago	Baraka	Baraka is a Portage kid.
39 weeks 2 days ago	Turfy!	Turfy!

42 weeks 2 days ago	Twitter	Green tweet: 'juz finished having a #GREAT talk with coach hooke #michigan' I'd expect nothing less
47 weeks 5 days ago	I'm sorry do you know him	I'm sorry do you know him personally or do you judge on the media portrayal of the man? I go to grad school with his daughter and met him personally and I can assure you he is anything but a sleezebag. Top players play for him because they relate to him and his tough background. He may toe the line but so do 95% of division 1 coaches. He's just more successful than the rest of them.
1 year 9 weeks ago	Maybe	Honestly I don't think Harbaugh really cares that much about Michigan. He has his track record with negative publicity and it always struck me as being despiteful. I like him and wish the best but I'm skeptical on the Harbaugh-Michigan relationship.
1 year 10 weeks ago	Calls	I live in ACC country and see Duke play a lot.  What you don't always see on TV is Coach K constantly in the refs ear during timeouts.  He jaws them to death throughout the game until the calls start going his way.  He also clearly teaches his players to flop which is no secret.  So while I understand that you're tired of hearing people complain about it, fact of the matter is they have a very valid point.  Unfortunately I don't ever see this changing.  That's one of the ways he gets a competitive edge and it works.
1 year 11 weeks ago	Nose Bleeds	I always sat in the nose bleeds.  It's good to know that I intimidate Steven Jackson despite not being a felon.
1 year 12 weeks ago	*so often. Damn autocorrect.	*so often. Damn autocorrect.
1 year 12 weeks ago	Transparent	It should be completely transparent. People would probably be less inclined to do it do often.
1 year 15 weeks ago	posted from iPhone	That's certainly a nice haul on paper. It'll be interesting to see how it translates on the field. They clearly haven't lost any recruiting prowess with the departure of Harbaugh.
1 year 15 weeks ago	Bush League	Good teams have enough talent and depth that they don't need to use an injury to excuse a loss.
