Kelly has a little of that RichRod savor---person who rode some insights about offensive game-planning a way and has been figured out, who the game may be passing along the way. I'm interested to see how it works out for him down there. Sometimes hiring your old boss can be tricky, especially if it's out of misplaced loyalty. And he's got one post-season to get it right. . .there's some pressure there.
Yeah, would have been a mite more thoughtful for the OP to place a question mark after the title. I mean, this allegation may quickly get seconded from people around the league, but in the meantime, there's really just one former player in the video declaring that.
OTOH, while being uncomfortable around people doesn't prove you're a racist. . . if you've had a career in football and you're still uncomfortable around Black people?
Anyway, screamer coaches will get away with less under emerging conditions, and that's a good thing. My daughter was a local high school sports star who stood up to two bully coaches during her four-year stint, and while I know that other kids' mileage could vary, that has stood her in incredibly good stead, including now as she begins to coach herself. Both of those people continue to respect her.
As I always used to tell my brother: At least we've got a university attached to our football program. Their egos are tied up solely in their sports. They got almost nothing else. (Okay, I like what they do with food systems development and analysis.) When your teams suck at MSU, it's not like you can return to class Monday with your head held high. It might well have been axed to pay some fat old governor's bonus.
Oh, they'll get plenty of green and white blood for a long time to come. And deservedly.
I don't think we know that the guy is coming here, but the good news is that they continue to hemorrhage. MSU will be TOTALLY irrelevant in football for a lotta moons to come. They've already lost a decade, and NEBRASKA is now a bigger part of the Big Ten conversation; NORTHWESTERN is a bigger part of the Big Ten conversation than old brokedown MSU. And here come Washington, Oregon, USC, and UCLA.
As they say on the posters at the travel agent's: Fly Bolivian!
Yeah, and I'm afraid that the modest Tom Brady--who was so appealing because of it--has given way to a somewhat feckless something. But I did enjoy the joke from the person who said give up your wife and family so that you could go back to football and have a 7-9 season? Who wouldn't jump at that opportunity? (I mean, Robert Kraft was off limits?)
I think you've probably jumped more than one shark by the time you're getting roasted by some of these people, but you gotta fill the days, too.
Don't tell anybody, but Tallahassee's a nicer town, in many ways, than A2. And I grew up there, when it really was nice. Three universities, the state capital, just a lot more going on. And the cost of living is half what it is in Ann Arbor. I lived in NY and SF before I came here, and used to save with my wife for months for a trip to Sonoma, LA, Seattle. Here, I've traveled out of the country every summer since I arrived. Most biodiverse place in the lower 48, according to EO Wilson, who grew up here. We have two socialists on the city commission, and our politics are arguably better, too. Plus, the city isn't entirely white! Which is good if, like me, your family isn't, either. I'm okay if people don't know or don't want to come here, though. A hundred thousand people move here every day, and they're destroying it, fast. Yes, the politics are ugly, but Michiganders forget quickly that their state (mine, originally) was for two decades a laboratory for right-wing Republican experiment, including under the stupidest, fattest, ugliest governor and then head of MSU who ever lived. Upstate is great, but the rest of Michigan is. . . about like the rest of the United States, covered in dreck and in deep trouble. I'll stop for a pasty heading north, though. And be happy to hang out on the Leelenau Peninsula, anytime.
I've tried. And I've kept trying. Trip after trip to Chicago, starting in the late 70s, when I was at the U of M. (Spring breaks, when the temperature there would be 20 degrees!) But I've never taken to it.
Maybe people who are stuck there just like it for the insulation? Those things are instant heart attacks!
And you can follow this around the world. The Sicilian pie, sometimes errantly called foccacia, is said to descend from a Catalan coca, which can come with anything from carmelized vegetables to red peppers with confectioner's sugar.
And almost all of them, when sold in markets, etc., get warmed up for the buyer and taste BETTER for it. People who scoff at the idea of reheating any savory baked good. . .
Of course! Half of the latchkey schoolkids in NY and NJ are preserved from starvation because they stop off somewhere on the walk home and buy the slice and a drink special somewhere!
They can be like that, almost that precise. There was a tornado alert when I was a kid in Flint and we went and hid out (I don't think we had a basement). Later we went for a walk--a block-long stretch of houses two streets over had been wrecked.
Saying NY pizza is shite is just. . . asstastically dumb. I really shouldn't have responded, you were just being provocative. You even SAY that on the street over toward Caton Ave. in Bklyn, you're gonna get it handed to ya, bub. :) It's also very stupid to say that if something's warmed up it's necessarily bad. That kinda disqualifies you from the conversation by itself.
Gaines Street Pies; Decent Pizza; Isabella's Napoletana; and Little Italy for the Four Seasons described above. Brickyard on the north side has a perfectly fine pie, too.
Ten years ago, I would have said that any NY slice was better than any slice anywhere in the country. But pizza has improved. Tallahassee, population 205,000, has three and a half* pizzerias where this Brooklyn and New Jersey boy is willing to take visitors. A plain slice and a sausage and onion slice are good test cases, but I'll eat anything. A chicken and potato and pesto is one of my favorites to make at home. Fig and bacon on a white pie is another. Combos we came up with.
I'm not intolerant--I'll eat mediocre pizza, too. But the thing has to have a nice crust (c'mon!) And some of the sauces from the chains are execrable. It takes all of three seconds in a blender!
*I say a half because there's a nice Italian restaurant that sells a pie it calls a Four Seasons, with breaded eggplant, fresh tomatoes, and basil that's drowning in mozarella that not trad at all but filling and tasty.
You might want to check with your grocer--several of our local chains make real pizza dough daily, and keep it in coolers near the front of the store. We make our own a lot--it's super easy, really, but making it rise, then working it does take time--and theirs is in every way as good. And--not to be critical, because all pizza is good pizza--but if you can obtain more heat, do it!
Don't want to make a bigger deal of it than it is, because I looked back through my own posts and saw plenty of wisecracks. Has just seemed to happen a lot to me lately that the top is routinely meta or silly. And unfortunately, you don't really know to click the karat until you've read the stuff.
Well, we want him to succeed. I want him to succeed. But to say that there aren't questions just isn't accurate. We can split the difference and says he's on the sturdy side of slight, but especially after playing the last part of last season hurt, people will wonder how sturdy he is. And this also goes to the kind of protection he gets, and his luck as he begins to play. Lotta fantastic players never quite got their chance.
To my mind, these guys have succeeded by making it, by doing great things in college. An architect doesn't tell himself he sucks because he's not working on the very biggest or most prestigious projects. I already admire him. But some of these things will go to whether he becomes a bona fide star or backup, etc. I agree that he has the mindset, lots of tenacity.
These people are not finished human projects. And a certain kind of stats-addled fan forgets that. Which is why you constantly have these happy surprises like the Knicks' Jalen Brunson blowing minds. Yes, there are some questions about JJ; I would personally list his frame as foremost. He settled some of them at the combine, is the word, relating to both arm strength and speed. If we looked, I think we would find that not many of the greatest QBs took a ton of hits, so whether he gets good protection will matter, a lot. I want him to succeed.
Boy, if you come here to try to make a substantive comment about a post these days, you may be out of luck. I know I'm guilty myself sometimes, but the amount of silliness you have to scroll through to find thoughtful remarks is amazing.
Just wanted to point out that this is why ND would rather not be in the SEC of B1G: They'd have to play people, and wouldn't receive nearly as much attention.
Seeing them on the floor may have less to do with their height than how they work together. It's not easy to develop effective biplay on the offensive end between two guys who occupy so much space.
He's not a guy who doesn't learn as he goes, though. I don't share a lot of his views, but he's a listener. And decides for himself. He works to see the world through his players' eyes.
I would lay a LOT of money that Warde is never fired. He'll look good in one of those enormous weird plaid jackets the bowl and NCAA people wear, and one day--maybe soon--he will be in one.
Yeah, he may suck. I certainly wish he had been more vocal in defense of the school a good many times, now. In truth he seems like. . . corporate man, now maybe with his eye on the next job. But what real pressures he's under, from who. . . so much of we get here is pure speculation. Sentiment tends to settle around a select few narratives for which, even now, there's not a lot of real evidence. From some people's close-up viewpoint, Warde may have moved heaven and earth to get Michigan through and to the championship, with everything else being. . . far less important.

He's a WKW, anyway. Well-know weenie. We've gotta stop rising to the bait when these chunks come calling.
Yes. I don't think that their spring game suggested that they have resolved their QB issues, anyway.
