Not trying to be snarky,…

Not trying to be snarky, just genuinely curious what has shown you that Dylan is more of a "leader" than the other options at QB?

In terms of pre-season lists…

In terms of pre-season lists/accolades, reasonably accurate, but 2011's O-Line was pretty legit as well. From our fearless leader's twitter:

The fact that there are…

The fact that there are people out there that would read a college athlete's Twitter and feel the need to post this on a message board, or respond to his Tweet directly, is something I will truly never understand. Please find something else to worry about or be passionate about other than a 20 year old likely posting a song lyric to his Twitter. 

Towel Boy!

Did Harbaugh also say "That

Did Harbaugh also say "That was all me" right before "I call the plays" in the second to last honorable mention?

MSU Marching Band

I believe the band doesn't play the song anymore due to complaints, and I haven't been to Spartan Stadium in a few years to confirm, but MSU used to play some song in the late 2000's where at one point the fans would chant/sing "Fuck Them Wolverines" multiple times throughout the song.

I was just going to say, I

I was just going to say, I recall Harbaugh at Stanford calling Andrew Luck the best QB in the country when he was a sophomore before the season, and people thinking he was crazy....obviously saying Ruiz is the best ever would be a tad premature and immense hyperbole, I just always have faith in Harbaugh's hyperbole because it usually has some basis in reality.

Love your work man! Any chance you have the original from this Wallpaper from last year without the depressing reminder of last year's OSU game?

This, 100 times. I've been to every OSU game for the last 6 years and this was by far the LEAST I've seen.

I'm the furthest thing from someone who wants to defend MSU...but Cook has 21 TDs and 4 INTs, along with 2500 yards passing. You don't think that's good?

Although Frita's is in a different playing field, I think the JP Burger at Jolly Pumpkin is genuinely one of the best burgers I've ever had.

I believe Brian was just

I believe Brian was just taking a stab in the dark at why a guy with arguably the most hype in the offseason wasn't seeing the field at a relatively thin position. I think he backed up a little from that take in last week's BYU column since Marshall was on the field in garbage time and not just straight up benched.

Was just gonna say that I

Was just gonna say that I picture Brian and Ace sitting in the studio at peak facepalm when they see that guy's on the line...

The best part is how he

The best part is how he linked it on his Twitter: "I spent a few months traveling the country trying to understand Jim Harbaugh. Here's my story...". You spent a few months traveling the country....to read everyone else's pieces on Harbaugh and gather absolutely zero original content. Bravo.

Agree wholeheartedly on the

Agree wholeheartedly on the horror angle. The couple's reaction was almost comically bad, especially compared to Rick's reactions/demeanor.

"What the hell is going on?" "I have no idea." Honestly?

I mean, seeing the team and how they've progressed is all well and good, but 99.9% of the reason I go to the spring game is just for another chance to be in the Big House, rain or shine.

Wasn't sure how to do the

Wasn't sure how to do the blockquotes:

"They, like everyone else, figured Duke or Syracuse," Gary now says.

They figured wrong. During the visit, Battle clicked with U-M players from similar backgrounds and saw an offensive system tailor-made for his skill set. Then there was the pitchman.

"Man, him and Beilein, they were like, arm-in-arm," Gary Battle said. "It was obvious that Beilein really liked him as a person."

Appears Poggi is officially

Appears Poggi is officially taking snaps on offense...not sure if that was ever confirmed. Saw him pulling as a tight end/h-back on a Morris rollout in the middle of the video.

Odd Side's Beautiful Disaster. Pale Ale aged in Red Wine barrels...wine comes through really well. Odd Side is rapidly going up my top breweries in Michigan list. Just pumping out high quality beer after high quality beer.

Had a feeling this was the case...but 247 shows a timeline of who he visited and several were in Texas: http://247sports.com/Coach/Darrell-Funk-859

Am I the only one who selfishly wanted him to being wearing a Michigan hat or some sort of Michigan gear on the sidelines of that Ravens game? RECRUITINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

I think what gets lost in the

I think what gets lost in the shuffle is how absolutely horrendous the Media Relations/PR team has been in all of this. There is an entire department whose JOB it is to handle these sort of situations and they have absolutely butchered it. I'm not sure if Brandon just brushes their ideas aside, but having worked in PR, this whole situation is a case study in how to NOT handle crisis communications. Derek Satterfield is the head of Media Relations/SID for the football team and CLEARLY looks in way over his head. They sorely miss Bruce Madej in my opinion.

Wow is Kam Chatman

Wow is Kam Chatman effortlessly smooth. And those three straight 3-pointers at the beginning of the video had my mouth watering.........

Went to Perrin a few months

Went to Perrin a few months ago for the first time and had 5 beers, and was honestly blown away by every one of them. Like you said, they have a WAYS to go in terms of marketing/distribution, but I'd make a trip there every week to have the Malted Milkball Imperial Porter - it had some of the best chocolate flavor I've ever tasted in a beer, w/o being overwhelming. Love Perrin.

I have no idea who you are,

I have no idea who you are, but I'm sure you're a douche. Dickens has an immense amount of experience in football on the NFL and collegiate level and has a huge amount of respect of all of the UM players I've seen him interact with.

I feel like for the UTL game

I feel like for the UTL game in 2011 people were predicting it was like an 80% chance of rain at kickoff and it was absolutely beautiful all afternoon and night.

Did anyone experience

Did anyone experience scalping in person for the first UTL game? I'm just going to be in Ann Arbor with minimal hopes of actually going to the game, but I'm curious how the scalping market the day of and right up to kickoff was.

Do they actually check if

Do they actually check if your MCard is expired now? I didn't see them care in the last four years I went to games.

What is meant by Thomas Gordon being a better version of his younger self, but also being in the SAME category? Is one of those supposed to be Cam Gordon?

THIS!!! Everyone that is

THIS!!! Everyone that is there should take advantage of being in such an iconic and amazing place. Instead, a vast majority spend their entire time waiting in line to have college players write their names in cursive on stuff...I just don't understand. 

Fair point. I have just never

Fair point. I have just never really understood the appeal of having a 20 year old football player (or any athlete for that matter) write his name on a picture. If they were a superstar of some sort, it would be cool for them to sign a helmet or something just as a cool memory...but I still honestly have never really understood the whole autograph thing. And people pay SOOO much money for them...

I'm voting for the Alamo

I'm voting for the Alamo Bowl. *Additional depression linked to this game*: That's when my Michigan fandom started truly hitting its stride at age 14. I specifically remember Antonio Bass (who I was obsessed with because he went to my high school) having a one-handed catch that ended up being a SC Top 10 Play. Little did I know that would be the last time I ever saw Bass on a football field.

Herbstreit yelling "Oh my gosh!" still echoes in my nightmares...
