1 year 11 weeks ago	What a game by Hardaway!	What a game by Hardaway! Let's hope his new found shooting stroke continues well into the tournament. If he can continue to be a viable main offensive threat like he was this game, we have the potential to go several rounds deep into the tourney.
1 year 12 weeks ago	I haven't read all of the	I haven't read all of the previous 200 comments, so forgive me if this has been considered. But how about a list a nominees get accumulated over the course of the school year, and in late spring/early summer there is a week long open voting period on the blog as to who gets accepted. I don't think it should be limited to 1/sport/year. With the above idea, you'll have the list of everyone over the year to vote on, and the acceptance can be limited to the top 3 or 4 vote getters that also meet the percentage criteria. Brian can make the call each year whether to limit it to 3,4 or whatever based on his persuasions. I like the sliding scale Brian thought of as well.
1 year 17 weeks ago	Does any body else find it	Does any body else find it odd that it seems like we've completely failed to capitalize on our successful season with respect to recruiting this past month or so? All of our big name recruits have come before or during the season when the coaching staff's ability was still in question. Now, after seeing their success, it seems like our top potential recruits have all ended up elsewhere. I thought they'd be running to us with a program like Michigan and a great coaching staff. What's up??? It's frustrating to see us sink in the rankings after our tangible success.

1 year 25 weeks ago	A 3-loss state team will not	A 3-loss state team will not be ranked ahead of Michigan. I guarentee it. I think it's perfectly fine to root for Wisconsin in that game. As long as Georgia loses to LSU we'll be fine.
1 year 26 weeks ago	Clean program?!?	" but at least with [Meyer] at the helm, we’ll not only get beat by a clean, talented program" I'm not sure if somebody has already brought this up, bought Meyer had anything but a clean program at Florida. He had so many players get in trouble off the field that it's difficult to count them all. In most cases, Meyer gave them a slap on the wrist and let them play shortly there after. If Meyer goes to Ohio, it will be more of the same.
1 year 27 weeks ago	I don't know if I'd call	I don't know if I'd call special teams a push, since they had a turnover on one and Gallon averaged 15.5 return yards on four punts! We actually won the special teams battle decisively! When was the last time we could say that?
1 year 29 weeks ago	"Mattison pushed all the right buttons"	What a beautiful statement that has been nonexistent the past three years.
1 year 31 weeks ago	Man, I hate the fact that we	Man, I hate the fact that we lost to that trash.
1 year 31 weeks ago	We did punt a lot on State's	We did punt a lot on State's end of the field, but the problem was that it was always 4th and long. If it's 4th and less than 5 yards from inside the 40 I see Hoke going for most of those. But they were all 4th and long. And also, Hagerup was pinning them back quite well, so maybe that played into Hoke's thinking as well.
1 year 31 weeks ago	Dantonio suspend Gholston?!?	Dantonio suspend Gholston?!? Yeah right. Most likely he'll give the kid an at-a-boy. The little prick. It was probably at Dantonio's bidding.

1 year 32 weeks ago	Another possibility is that	Another possibility is that due to the timing of the play, Schofield didn't really have the chance to over run the SLB in the 2nd case.  On the interception play, Schofield would've had to look through the gap to see the LB coming, in the 4th and 1 it appears the LB came through the gap at the same instance Schofield got to it. While I don't doubt the idea that the coaches pointed out what he did wrong the first time around, the timing of this play may have made it easier for him to fix his initial mistake.
1 year 32 weeks ago	These coaches have totally	These coaches have totally won me over. That strip by Gordon to cause NUs 2nd turnover was beautiful. That's pure coaching and was entirely forced by the defense. Gordon stopped the runner, and waited to go for the ball until there was another defender to stop his progress. Hoke was stoked about it too. That was the first time I've seen him hyped up on the sideline. It was good to see.
1 year 32 weeks ago	The 'tackled in bounds' stat	The 'tackled in bounds' stat doesn't mean as much these days with the new rule change from a few years back where it's only in the last two minutes of each half where the clock stops for going out of bounds. Announcers still make this mistake in a lot of games where the commend a guy for getting out of bounds or a defender for tackling in bounds. Another worthwhile point is that Hoke made another great 4th down decision which led to our 2nd touchdown.
1 year 32 weeks ago	" The Buckeyes defense	" The Buckeyes defense eschewed pressure to focus on coverage, figuring that the only way they were going to score points was by getting pick-sixes" Great line. It's funny because it's so true. Oh, I hope Ohio's incompetence continues through the end of November.
1 year 33 weeks ago	Man, Brian, I never thought	Man, Brian, I never thought anyone could make me depressed about a 58-0 blowout but you just about succeeded. Baby Seal U Jr. or not, this was an extremely encouraging (and enjoyable) win in my book. We executed very well on both sides of the ball, and while the opposition has some to do with that, Michigan still had to do their part to make the plays and they did. Items of note that I took away: 1) Continued development/signs of promise for BWC & Countess. 2) Competency in the offensive passing game. 3) Domination for both our OL and DL. 4) The safeties barely had to do anything for the 3rd game in a row. 5) Flashes of creativity from Borges. 6) Domination of a Division 1A Big Ten opponent!

1 year 34 weeks ago	Unless I missed him before, I	Unless I missed him before, I believe this is the first tv shot of the year for him. I feared that he had graduated.
1 year 34 weeks ago	Do the 'flips' by the	Do the 'flips' by the defensive line concern any of you? Throughout the game I was thinking that SDSU could totally do a quick snap after they bring the TE in motion and catch us in the middle of one of those. I know we want the even/under, strongside/weakside players to be in position but that seemed really odd to see. I don't recall other teams doing that.
