Single worst game I have…

Single worst game I have ever seen from Fran. 

Paige looked lost that…

Paige looked lost that entire series. Freshman safeties, ugh.  

Garza shuffling his feet…

Garza shuffling his feet after picking up his dribble almost every time.

Guild Wars

Call of Duty

Tomb Raider

Duncan Robinson

Not a Division 1player. Unwatchable.

Good stuff

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving program.

Walking on Sunshine

Oh wait, I don't think I grasped this properly.

Who's got it better than us?

Seriously, who?

Dawkins

His de-evolution is remarkable.

Irvin

Liability at both ends right now.

Read harbaugh's lips

On fourth and sixteen???

The Cass Tech pipeline

Huckleby, Greer, and Seabron, are all from CT.

I recall it as "Dime Night"

I thought it was one day a week.  Mondays maybe?

Take advantage of the nice weather

Some yard work, screens in for storm windows, maybe even wash the cars. Boring, but satisfying... It was a LONG winter (well not by GOT standards, but you know what I mean).

Calipari has no credibility.

He had the audacity to claim that their last shot against us went off just as he "drew it up" in the timeout. "Take a long three, they won't guard you ". I call bullshit.

That's nothin'

You should see MY sub ate speed.

"Hoke, the J. Ira and Nicki Harris Family Head Football Coach"

Awkward and ridiculous, looking and sounding.

Pipin's migraine

yeah, right.

Don't have room in this class???

Since he is coming from Alabama, someone will likely have to explain this concept to Nuss.

Live from Chicago...

It is coming,  Bang me.

It's worse than you think...

6'6" and 325 lbs.  Ouch.

That ankle issue

Will be tough on their big fella.

There's a box out

Reward is a one and one

Go military academy...

How do you root against either?  These kids are a special breed.  You have to really want it to get into any of the academies these days.

A broken GI Joe

Then he would tell you that you did not execute playing with it correctly.

Seconding that thought

Always enjoyed Twitterverse summary

Nice work AC1997

Thank you for the effort required to complete this.  It will make a nice reference tool.  I agree with most of your comments, except on Bosch.  Burning his redshirt seems like a huge gaffe, given his likely downstream contributions.  It is difficult for me to imagine that his practice performance made him irrepressible.  It feels like the coaching staff was grasping at straws trying to stop the bleeding up front.   Hindsight makes this easy to criticize, but they are paid to make difficult decisions, and need to be held accountable for short term failures that hurt the program long term.  Particularly true when the attempt is such an abject failure.

 

Crap! I am always too late to these things.

And I have the point total to prove it.

Thank you Brian

Looking forward to seeing the impact on the board.

Can't vote yet, but if I type about 60 thank you notes.... hmmm.

He has a nervous habit when on camera...

He is picking at or rubbing something during every interview.  Usually it is on his face.  It is incredibly distracting and a bit disturbing.  

I offer no accompagning psychoanalysis with this observation, but there is plenty to speculate about (smile).

I tend to disagree...

That play the Florida receiver made was not nearly as stupid as Gardner's pick six against ND, given the scores, players' natural positions, and the relatively likelihood of success, not to mention the consequence of failure.

No contest here.

All Brian actually did was ban that user name...

and all the inflated self-worth and perceived bullying power that goes with the points associated with the user name.  He is likely already posting under a different user name. Given his style of posting, it will soon be obvious.

Poor Lions Fan

Never needs any explanation.

Thank you

Fantastic job.  This is why I come to read at MGoBlog.  This is why I come to MGoBlog.

if one of them gets arrested or benched...

we will find out that their captaincy was not a committable offer.

Well written piece here...

I love how Brian captures his thoughts and turns them loose in intelligent, mature, and entertaining prose, with downright hilarious high brow metaphors.  I too REALLy appreciate the stability and vision that Brady et al have positioned the program in, with enough short term success, more than enough long potential, and doing it eminently likeable characters (Michigan Men).

For a glimpse of what I consider the opposite this, watch a replay of ESPN's "Sunday Conversation" from yesterday.  Chris Fowler interviewed Urban Meyer.

Ohio can have him.  If that is what it takes to win... no thanks.

Thank you Brian...

It must be very difficult to make time to do this, particularly at this time of year.  I thoroughly enjoy all your UFRs and breakdown/insight.  Even when it means dredging up my marginally suprressed rage over officiating and play calling, your verification and validation is strangely soothing.  Go Blue!

Male, 49, married with two kids

UM BS '86.  Grew up in Detroit.  Played football at Cass Tech (just after Greer, Hucklebee, Seabron, and Smith) and then Westland John Glenn (just after Carr left to coach for Bo). Married with two kids.  Environmental Consultant specializing in petroleum remediation/clean up.  I am a lifelong UM fan.  I was telling people when I was six years old that I was going to Michigan.  Never applied anywhere else.  Never regretted this one bit.  It was everything I thought it could be and would be.  Go Blue!

Oh, almost forgot... right handed.

Thank you Brian for the effort required to complete this

I really enjoy (and later apply) the insight you provide in the UFRs.  It is obviously laborious, but the result is always terrific.  It is one of the many many reasons I am a big fan of you and your site.  Gratitude.

Shame on you...

That's racist!

Have subs...

it will be crazy1

30 bicycle seats...

that will NEVER be the same.

Seconded

Beyond awkward after the first time the interviewer mentioned it.  Kudos to Devin for not acknowledging the dumb aspects...

Dreaming of one more year...

Taylor Lewan renewed my faith in humanity.

Did one of those guys just make fun of "slap the flag" ?

Hopefully not the same as touch the banner on the way onto the field...

T. Lewan and T. Gordon

I think that two is enough.  One from each side of the ball.

Authentic Winged Helmut

From my wife and kids. Best part... She ordered the Schutt, like Denard wears. Not because the Schutt is that much cooler, but because SHE knew the difference. I am blessed.

Many thanks

From an appreciative iPhone user!

Hmmmm... like maybe

Navy?
