Just bought my CMU/Ohio tickets. Does anyone know where these seats have been in the past? |

I'd agree if we were tight on cash. Sure it's not imperative, but the whole point of having a $100million + budget and multi-million dollar surpluses year after year is so that we can afford luxuries that other schools can't - like providing the live soundtrack to our football team. |

I just registered with marrow.org yesterday and will be receiving the cheek swab kit soon. I encourage everyone to do the same! |

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but can someone tell me the context/inside joke of "Death from Above?" |

Excellent! I'll attend the game in my wings jersey, with 'M' hat. And I'm glad they picked NYD to have the game... that'll give me a week to rest and get to Miami to see Michigan play in the MNC the following week! |

In my dream: Al Borges has an epiphany. He works in an uptempo spread offense (Chip Kelly style) that Bama has no film of. We hang 56 on them, while Bama's inexperienced 5* recruits (because all their juniors left early to the League) have first big game jitters. Oh, and there were bubble screens. |
| 1 year 31 weeks ago | Even if he kept Mallet, he |
Even if he kept Mallet, he would've had 2 returning starters on offense instead of 1. While Mallet is a big time athlete, we saw in 2007 how raw is talent was even with a tremendous support cast. People forget that regardless of any attrition that could be put on RR (which, I doubt he had control over mostly), the 2008 team he inherited still lost the leading passer in school history (Henne), the leading rusher in school history (Hart), and the #1 overall pick in the NFL draft (Long) to graduation. That will make a dent regardless. |

Yeah, I hope it's not Ole Miss, because that would put him in the division of death (Bama, Auburn, LSU) |

I really wish he could get a job like the Arizona job. 1) BCS conference 2) zero expectations, so he could build from the ground up 3) USC is the only "good" team in his division.
Either way, I wish him the best and will be rooting for him to get a fair shot and be successful. |
| 1 year 31 weeks ago | I respect your point, and it |
I respect your point, and it is a tough balance. It's a little difficult because we have so many returning starters. And it's not so much the "spread vs. no spread" as it is the play calling out of the pro-style. I don't mind when Borges calls those roll-out throwback screens out of the I-form (i.e. Vincent Smith vs. Notre Dame) as much as when he calls these jumpball bombs to Jeremy Gallon. When Coach Rod had Steven Threet and Nick Sheridan, he tailored his "spread" to their skills. Notice he didn't call zone reads because there's no way the DE is biting on their running ability. Perhaps Borges just needs to call plays, regardless of "pro-style" or "spread," that play to the strengths of his current players. |
| 1 year 31 weeks ago | Dude, I support Coach Hoke |
Dude, I support Coach Hoke 100%, and I hope this doesn't happen, but it isn't inconceivable that we could lose these last few games. If that happens, we would finish with the same record as last year, despite having a much improved defense. That would be very disappointing, because it would suggest that an offensive system that produced 6000+ yards last year, returning 9 starters (minus Stonum and Schilling) is massively underachieving.
I hope that doesn't happen, and I don't think it will, but it's certainly not unbelievable.
Go Blue! |
| 1 year 31 weeks ago | Gosh, I know I'm just |
Gosh, I know I'm just rehashing what a lot of us feels, but I need to say these three things: 1) Coach Hoke gets my support because every coach should get a chance to install their philosophy, with their recruits, which takes at least four years. That being said... 2) While Coach Rod may not know the defensive side of the ball very well, his offensive schemes worked 3) Al Borges, I beg you to please suck it up and throw in more zone reads and BUBBLE SCREENS. |
| 1 year 32 weeks ago | I agree. People make |
I agree. People make mistakes, and when they admit them it's a lot more easy to forgive them. A lot of other coaches would defend their decisions to the grave. |

As he left the team, Trent blamed Rich Rodriguez for being cut, saying he was too fatigued from all the extra stretching on Sundays to perform at the next level. |

Ace, were you wearing some M gear and carrying some electronics in a shoulder bag? Did you finish a can of something and throw it away as soon as you arrived?

After Week Two last season: http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/story/13926209 "Which brings me to Saturday, when Michigan beat Notre Dame 28-24 as Denard Robinson staked his claim as the Heisman frontrunner and the Wolverines staked their claim as a top-five team." |

I like Nike products as well, but Adidas is giving us A LOT of money. It doubled what Nike was giving us before: http://www.michigandaily.com/content/adidas-just-did-it
I remember also reading, somewhere else, that we are now Adidas flagship university. If this is what it takes to keep advertising out of the stadium on gameday, I don't mind this sacrifice. |

I have an excerpt from "There is Indisputable Evidence: Jim Tressel and the Ohio State Buckeyes in the Crucible of the Infractions Committee"
"The Buckeye players got up at 11:00 am and headed out to their 2011 BMW on their way to the tattoo parlor." |

MOAR bubble screen plz!
If we run enough read option, eventually the DB on the slot receiver comes to stop the run. Then Denard can throw the ball to an open slot receiver after pulling the handoff back. |
