Prior to the start of MSU…

Prior to the start of MSU/OSU, I just watched the NBC commentators talk about how Moore had too much emotion in the post game interview and how Michigan brought this on themselves.

They don't get it.

It really is Michigan vs everybody.

Bet.

Eggs Benedict was the first…

Eggs Benedict was the first thing that came to mind for me as well.

I always enjoyed getting breakfast at Angelo's on the occasions when I could. Though it hasn't been that often since I lived on Ann St. twenty years ago. It was disappointing to hear it's closing forever.

Bias

I'm sure that most of us are bias in regards to Michigan vs. everyone else, but seriously, when I saw NW's new uniforms I thought, "Those look all right."  When I saw Michigan's various changes over the past 2 years, I thought, "What the f*** is this?"  Especially against MSU last year...just thinking about it still makes me cringe.

How is this not marked...

Obviously, the Brian Cook Six-team system should be called the BCS.

I checked and...

A very similar email (literally "The Top 10 Things Fans & Friends of Michigan Athletics Should Know") was sent from The University of Michigan Compliance Services Office on April 14, 2010.

I thought we were destroyed

I thought we were destroyed until my brother asked "how long would it take to recreate it from scratch?"

 

Someone buy Brian's brother a drink.

Lloyd is white

In case you don't know, Lloyd is white.

I keep chuckling at this.

Also, you have a good point.  I think that Brian could be correct, but I would assume that the coaches we're hiring are used to working with and helping young guys - regardless of their race.

So the SEC is like Amber, except that they actually say 'Yes' to the recruits, and then cancel at the last minute.  It's complete bull.

The state down south

Hoke's good reputation in Ohio is going to be a big benefit for the program.  Let's hope the payoff continues in the next 2 weeks!

2002

2002 was my freshman year.  I liked football, but was never that into it since my dad didn't really care growing up.  My first game was the 31-29 win over Washington.  Remember the last second field goal for the win by Phil Brabbs? (Continue to pray for him by the way -- he is still working hard to kick cancer.)  After that I was totally hooked.  We finished the season with a 10-3 record and a Outback bowl win over Florida.  About as sweet as it gets...if you're disallowing seasons with a B1G championship.

Go Blue!

Agreed

Hoke needs to get things moving immediately.

Next weekend is when we'll probably see the commitment numbers move in the other direction.

And good God, I hope Tim is right about this.

107,856 people was highly questionable in my opinion.

Once you get 100 MGoPoints, you can "vote" on others' posts.  Posbang = +1 = 3 MGoPoints, Negbang = -1 = -2 MGoPoints.  Basically you can't help Fu until you post a bucnh of other stuff....or 1 really good thing that a bunch of other people posbang.

And sorry about profit's reply, if you were taken aback.  He's a really good guy...and hilarious.

Welcome to MGoBlog!

 

EDIT: I know there is duplicate info above, but I'd like to welcome n00bs and encourage this community to grow. Go Blue!

A chance

So you're telling me there's a chance...YEAH!

Snake Oil Science

Just have Hoke read this book:

Yay puns!

"Les is more" will be the freep's take.

MGoBlog's will be more along the lines of "Settled for Les", no?

I don't remember it before 2 years ago.

They also considered "Double Down for Michigan".

High Traffic

Love that the volume is so high because this is where the most reliable information is coming from.

Also, didn't Brian say there were 5000 people in the liveblog during the press conference?  My guess is that at least double that are viewing this site over the course of the day and most of us are addicts that refresh the page 5 times a minute as well.

Maybe the lock downs can be turned into beveled guilt to help buy some better mgoservers?

Domination

You certainly are dominating this message board.

 

Oh wait, sorry TP:  U R dominateing ths mesage bored.

"Houston's Better"

ND 2003 is possibly my favorite game ever. Love the story, Michgoblue.

Leaders and Legends

“My experience is that fans never love something new, and they’ll always criticize it,” said Edward O’Hara, the chief creative officer at SME

Yes.  But especially if the new thing is generic, elitist, and shows little to no creativity.  These names suck.  End of discussion.

Not the same thing

Brian posted this back in October.  Gardner getting a medical redshirt with proper documentation is not the same as what Saban does at Alabama.

 

Alabama vs SEC - Medical Hardships

Thanks monuMental!

You sir, are awesome.

11'1"

It also appears that he grew quite a bit his senior year.

Jeff Casteel

Is acquiring Jeff Casteel dependent on West Virginia's bowl game outcome?

I would think that Michigan can offer money enough to get Casteel if RR/DB really want him.

 

Otherwise, if Michigan's Casteel-acquiring ability is really out of their control, then, Go NC State!

Thanks!

MGoBlog points record?

Seriously, thanks for all the love MGoCommunity!

Perspective

We tumbled from 10-2 and a Rose Bowl win in 1980, all the way to 8-3

 

I wish we could still complain about falling from a 2 loss season to a 3 loss season.

Perhaps less change is more?

12 teams.

Illinois

Not that it really matters, but Illinois is playing Fresno State this weekend, not Western Michigan.

Iowa at 23

I thought the same thing at first.  I would initially put Mississippi St over Iowa based on who they lost to, but after considering who they beat I think Tim got it right.  Iowa does deserve to be 23.  They have wins over Michigan St, Penn St, & Michigan.  Who else should be ahead of them?  Mississippi St, Utah, Northern Illinois, USC, Miami (YTM)?

Snake Oil

Science.  It works, bitches...

Long term, short term

Yep, great things to look forward to next year offensively. I don't think most people would question that, but there's still the lingering matter of the next two weekends.  I seriously hope people look at the season as a whole and see improvement over last year + potential for the years to come, rather than short-sightedly seeing just the losses and shouting for RichRod to go.  (Seriously hoping we can pull off an upset in one of the last two and stop that kind of chatter altogether.)

But yeah, good things to look forward to long term (though I tend to be perpetually hopeful for the future), and brace for the worst in the short term (cause you know it's going to be ugly).
