11 weeks 2 days ago	Not saying this is	a be all end all, but one of the guys at Rotoworld did pre-draft roster rankings and had the Lions at #11. Said we did "less with more" than any team in the last 5 years
26 weeks 6 days ago	coon	Is possibly the best upper weight wrestler ever to come through this state. He was a 4x state champ. Twice at 215, two other times at heavyweight. Now, the football team has picked up some great heavyweight wrestlers. Mike Martin and Terrance Taylor were both state champs. They weren't on Coon's level. We have a real special one, and a real shot at having a 4x ncaa champ
40 weeks 15 hours ago	You really	think they're gonna hire someone who has a WS ring? You're severely limiting your options there. Here is a list of managers to win a ring since 1995: Bobby Cox, JIM LEYLAND, Joe Torre, Bob Brenley, Mike Scioscia, Jack McKeon, Terry Francona, Ozzie Guillen, Tony LaRussa, Charlie Manuel, Joe Giradi, and Bruce Bochy.  Now, which of those would you think is reasonably likely to be hired if you think they wouldn't hire someone who didn't have a ring.
44 weeks 2 days ago	You bet I am	but I was also 10 when he won the Heisman so I have very limited memory of watching Woodson at Michigan sadly
44 weeks 3 days ago	I don't care	what any other Michigan fans thought of Denard. Whether they appreciated him or not is irrelevant to me and quite frankly, their loss. What I do know is that I appreciated him and enjoyed every last second of watching him. To this day, I've still only ever been to one Michigan game that Denard didn't play in. Also, a blue #16 jersey is the only Michigan jersey I have ever bought and it will take an EXTRORDIARY effort to get me to buy another (Looking at you Peppers).  In closing, I love you, Denard!
44 weeks 3 days ago	I would	however, point out that Denard was 1-1 as the starting QB against OSU
45 weeks 48 min ago	i went	To Richmond high school too. The Michigan version tho
45 weeks 5 days ago	my solution	is simple. Instead of starting from the top, I scroll down until I find the last thing I read. Then I read the stories each on my way back to the top.
45 weeks 5 days ago	that does it	I'm going to McDonald's (where they have a giant M for a logo) and ordering a 20 piece Notre McDame
46 weeks 4 days ago	I'm really	hoping that this UFR is the beginning of evidence of these DL adhering to the Heninger Certainty Principle.
46 weeks 5 days ago	two things stick out	One, yes ND dialed it down against Temple. So did our team against CMU, yet we still scored 59 compared to 28. Second, they get lots of defections because they recruit at a high level. We recruit at a high level with very few defections. Explain that.
46 weeks 5 days ago	Go read	the picture pages from yesterday. Brian seems to think so
46 weeks 5 days ago	Wow	I'd never seen that Brian Cushing write up. By the way, the score of that 2007 game that NDNation was predicting to go to the Irish as of that 2005 writing? 38-0 USC
47 weeks 4 days ago	My favorite	part is all of it. Also, the part where you keyed all 11 defenders on Peppers and I still doubt they could stop him. Honestly, I don't know if I've ever been this excited for a recruit to just get here and be on our team.
48 weeks 2 days ago	Hill	Hill is a 2016 recruit. Jame Ross III has a little brother named Josh in the 2017 class though. If you go to 247 though and go to the Michigan site, there are plenty of 2016 targets listed already. http://michigan.247sports.com/Season/2016-Football/Targets
48 weeks 4 days ago	who is the	5th recruit committed? Harris, Campbell, Runyan, and David... Unless you're counting Pallante, but even if he counts for 2015, he's still a 2014 recruit.
48 weeks 5 days ago	I think	Gholston just likes to look like he wants to fight all the time
49 weeks 5 days ago	I will	get married and divorced several times per year if that's what it takes to land ALL THE RECRUITS
49 weeks 5 days ago	it is never	Too soon. And when those names become available and interest is gauged, then the mock class will change. These are always fluid. Hell, in my 2014 class I didn't even list Jared Wangler as of 3 weeks ago and that class is almost over
49 weeks 6 days ago	I could see	Tyriq Thompson being an in-state kid we take. If we start off with 16 spots for 2015, here's a little mock class I'd start with. Bold are commits and I'll include the Scout100 ranking since that's what just came out QB: unknown right now. Only offer is #14 Josh Rosen, but his interest is low RB: #22 Damien Harris WR: #13 George Campbell TE: Tyrone Wheatley OL: Jon Runyan, #62 Sterling Jenkins DL: Brady Pallante, #47 Jashon Cornell, #18 Keisean Lucier-South (Others of note include Josh Alabi, #53 Kamonte Carter, #1 Tim Settle, #40 Terry Beckner) LB: #48 Osa Masina, #54 Justin Hilliard, Tyriq Thompson CB: #98 Shaun Crawford S: Tyree Kinnel ATH: #59 Brian Cole K: Andrew David How would everyone feel about that if we could only take 16?
50 weeks 4 days ago	Well	lefties do have a .550 OPS against Coke so there's that
50 weeks 4 days ago	Well if you want to	play that game then RABURN (no Y in it) is better than...well everyone
50 weeks 4 days ago	That's ok	based on what I've seen, Cleveland is property of Detroit, so it's all good
50 weeks 6 days ago	man	Purdue is a whore. First osu, now it hooked up with Michigan State and had twins that were named Maryland and Rutgers
50 weeks 6 days ago	pencils?	I remember those. Seriously though, I have a #2 keyboard if you need it for the test
50 weeks 6 days ago	you didnt hear?	He's transfering to Michigan Staee because of that Blacknail guy or whatever his name is
51 weeks 5 days ago	Slide him back?	They're all still pitching every 5 days anyways
51 weeks 5 days ago	No	if Peralta doesn't get suspended, we got a great backup for the rest of this year, and the starter for after this season is over. The Tigers weren't planning on re-signing Peralta unless they absolutely had to.
51 weeks 5 days ago	Don't forget	about Doug Fister. He's just as extreme of a ground ball pitcher as Porcello
51 weeks 5 days ago	That's	completely a sample size issue. You can't use advanced defensive metrics when you only have 240 innings to judge on. It's the same issue as thinking he's a .330 talent hitter because that's what he's hitting this year. He's not a .330 level hitter, nor is he struggling defensively. He probably projects as a .260 type and the best defensive SS in the game. As long as he can maintain near an average level OBP over the course of a year, he'll be great to have in our lineup. Hell, he's SO GOOD defensively, he could probably survive being a bit below average at getting on base.
