This is one of those times cool story bro is really true - thank you for sharing an amazing memory and story from your Grandma. Your Michigan family here at MGOBlog sends deepest regrets and condolences on the passing of your Grandma.
Last year the staff had an amazing finish to the recruiting cycle and I am hoping for the same this year. If they can finish by landing Solomon, Becton and flipping Thorpe that would constitute an amazing finish to one of the highest rated classes in program history. The future is bright!
He was playing with very experienced OL and WR (not to mention Butt) that he will not have next year. That is what I meant by a "young team". The offense next season will have much less experience than this year's squad.
I wouldn't be surprised one bit if we see Peters starting at QB next year. Speight did a good job last season and was clearly better than O'Korn but is he really a guy who can lead a young team to BIG Ten title contention? Plus, Harbaugh recruited Peters and Speight is a Hoke recruit. My guess is Peters is the starting QB against Florida (even though I will most likely be wrong)
Is one of the most quotable movies of all time. My wife and I say "he's just nosing through the trash" pretty much every time our dog gets into something he shouldn't..
We have the RV christmas ornament hanging on the tree!
To say I am beyond excited about Durkin running our defense with Mattison working on his staff would be understating my feelings.. I cannot wait to see what this defense will look like. Get ready for big time passion, intensity, recruits, and results.
I love the decision by Harbaugh to have a speacilized special teams coach (see what I did there!!). Special teams has been a soft spot of Michigan football for about 10 years.. Special teams is a huge part of the game and I can't wait to see the massive improvement pay off moving forward!
Tyrone Wheatley is one of my all-time favorite Wolverines. I grew up watching his mix of size and speed and to this day I measure pretty much every college RB I see on what I call the "Wheatley Scale". I wore the #6 my whole sports life because of Tyrone.
So now that I got my cool story bro piece in, I think this would be a homerun hire at the RB position for Michigan. I would bet he will be a monster in the recruiting world based on his resume, name, and passion for Michigan. On top of recruiting I believe he will be a great teacher of the position. Guys like Derek Green and Ty Issac should take huge strides under Wheatley.
Keeping my fingers crossed that this goes official and Wheatley comes home!
What I want to see is a map detailing where the streaming traffic is coming from... I have a feeling a lot of it may be coming from the Ann Arbor area.
I completely agree with you. Even though Cowherd can be an idiot and most of the time just takes stances to move ratings, he isn't far off on these comments. With that said, I don't think Hackett or Harbaugh would let it get to the point where the class is "unsavable".
Even if Harbaugh does not take the job, I can't imagine he would string Michigan along and set them back even further. There is no debate that Harbaugh still has love for Michigan so he won't want to put Michigan in a hard spot. I can't image that Harbaugh wouldn't have provide a yes or no by Christmas.
I think Jim Mora is the real plan B option and I think that would be a great move for Michigan. I think if we wind up with Mora we would all wind up very happy 5 years from now.
Although at this point it doesn't seem like a plan B option may be needed. Where there is this much smoke, there is usually fire (except in 2007 with Miles of course).
This is the part of coaching searches that are so frustrating but also make them soo damn fun to follow. The amount of "reporting" by NFL and ESPN shows that Michigan is in fact an elite job still, which many ESPN talking heads will try to tell you it is not, and that Hackett is doing a fantastic job of playing things close to the vest. I have no doubt that Hackett will find the right coach for this program moving forward.
Green shows great potential but in big games there is no way he should start over Fitz.. I do believe that Green solidified his #2 RB role but it should be about a 70-30 split in big games in Fitzs favor.. Gives us the best chance to win
I believe the lines will be the key this season.. I know you can pretty much say that every season but we have a young and talented DLINE with depth and finally some OLINE depth as well. I think with Lewan coming back and leading these guys the OLINE can be special.
Man it's great to see them in action again.. Denard looked sharp cutting and hitting holes but the Jags are awful so it will be tough for him to find running room this year.
Awesome to see Kovacs stand that dude up - hopefully he gets a shot in Miami
Does anyone know another source that possibly sells out of stock MDen gear? I am looking to pick up the Making The Cut Final Four (ClimaLITE) t shirt and the MDen is all out.. I called this morning and they told me they are all sold out..
I have searched the internet for another retailer without any luck.. Anyone know something I don't?! Thanks!
I want to buy the "Making The Cut" Climalite Adidas Final Four shirt Size Small but the MDen is out of stock... does anyone know of any other places that are selling this shirt in the Clima LITE style???

"Are you serious Clark?" Has to be Christmas Vacation.. One of the funniest movies I have ever seen. Already watched it 5 times this holiday season!
Just win baby - if we get back to our winning ways the top recruits will be kicking down the doors to play for Harbaugh
I have never tried Corn Flakes but Beerios were an every weekend part of my college diet

Rich Eisen is a crazy person and I love every second of it

size and speed at CB...... i like
my god how I wish this was true!
Any news on Iman Marshall? I haven't heard much since the initial buzz around the hiring.

Good times to come
favorite: Trey Burke least favorite: everything else?
this is a major win.. just belted out a huge laugh in my office on accident haha
this is the best GIF you could have used... well done Ace, well done
Good points -- fire RichRod!
Great work as always! I love these write ups -- my favorite post each week
45-10 Michigan
Same thought process.. I drafted Denard and named my squad "Shoelaces Optional"
35-17 UofM
amazing stuff! best hype video of the year by far.. I'm ready to go!
I believe the lines will be the key this season.. I know you can pretty much say that every season but we have a young and talented DLINE with depth and finally some OLINE depth as well. I think with Lewan coming back and leading these guys the OLINE can be special.
thank you for including the silver lining.. first positive thought I've had since seeing the news.. that crop of WR sounds nasty
It was because of this game I purcahsed every ESPN channel they offer and my cable bill is now like 60 bucks higher... damn you SEC
soon the football season will be here and debates about punting stats will be over
Any team that doesn't include Denard stands no chance
just throw it out
I cannot wait to see these young guys on the field this year.. 8/31 can't come soon enough!
