The present participle and the gerund have the same form, so it's not a mistake. The roots are ultimately verbs from which nouns (gerunds) can be derived. So, the participial forms are more basic because they are still verbal.
Boo Ya! It's great to have another present participle on the roster in Ian Bunting. Now we need to flip Quin Blanding. Of course, this is all led by the double Channing Stribling.
This was the most enjoyable of the individual interview episodes of this program this year. He showed a lot of personality where most have been very hush
I had to watch the whisker part about 6 times. That was too funny, and his reaction was great. Makes you wonder if Karsh missed a spot shaving and Barnum couldn't stop staring.
The main flaw, or inaccuracy rather, of the article is that he mentions Brian Kelly's red-faced tirades, when in reality they are purple-faced tirades.
Twitter is a novel way to present oneself in public, but it is set up for instant unmeasured release. This means people are going to screw up on it, and each of these kids is still a few years away from having a fully settled (adult) frontal cortex. Twitter is a recipe for trouble here.
The out of conference games are too important and exciting to do this. 9 conference games is too much and hurts the conference nationally because of the higher number of necessary losses. Look at the PAC10 before and the BIG12 now.
I think it was Payton who a couple months back said something like he was hoping to get a group of big name recruits all to commit to one place, something "fab-5 style". Remember?
I had to watch the whole game on TV from Texas, and the sight of the scene at the Big House was beautiful and other-worldly from what one expects at Michigan. The design of the lights is very slick, a thin bright line atop the towers. The blue in the crowd blends into the night and the maize is highlighted by the lights. The pom-poms added a lot too. The whole place was a living, moving, screaming maize mob.
The 4th quarter got so intense I had to leave the room once to focus on my breathing because I thought I might be on the edge of having a heart attack. Seriously, it was nuts.
I think it would be very intimidating to opponents and very attractive to outsiders and potential recruits. Colin Cowherd is a bit of a ballbag, but his take on it right at the beginning of his interview with Hoke sums up how it would look to an outsider (Herd doesn't typically talk much or seem to care much about Michigan as far as I know.): http://espn.go.com/espnradio/play?id=6965847
If Notre Dame's sloppiness in week one and our relative unsloppiness (ball security) of week one carry through at all, I think the rain will exacerbate their woes.
Neither Omameh or Brian were out of line about Denard's speech, but just to clear up something...
"He be speaking Florida" is not an ungrammatical use of "be". It is a fully regular and grammatical use of "be" in the dialect of English that is sometimes called African American Vernacular English.
AAVE "He be speaking Florida" = Standard American Eng. Habitual mood, 'he speaks (habitually) Florida'
AAVE "He speak Florida" = Standard American Eng. Progressive aspect, "he is speaking Florida"
Woolfolk isn't an all conference corner, but he is a senior and a vocal leader. He has sound technique and seems poised to play with a fanatical toughness. In that sense, he is the best corner we have.
According to the site, there are many more prospects "considering" Michigan than there were for a long time. It seems like to ESPN "considering" means 'has mentioned'.
The committed dates are all out of whack still.
The offers list and visit dates are an excellent upgrade.
Make sure to eat at some of the seafood places on Lynnhaven Inlet - Chick's Oyster Bar, Dockside Inn, etc... There is some serious fresh fish selection in that part of the world.
The dark pirate internet sites are great, but they get shut down after a while by the department of Homeland Security of all things. Just something reliable with staying power is all I want.
Posada seems like a great kid with a lot of potential. He'll have a lot of competition with the 2012 OL guys and probably the 2013 guys too. If he's motivated and learns well, he could start for a couple of years.
That's the problem. The SEC West can expand westward without the risk of losing many of their regional recruits to the new member (in this case A&M). The new SEC East school (member #14) would be someone some team(s) already share a home recruiting ground with. They can't expand east to the Bahamas. The SEC East will be resistant to adding A&M unless the concomitant 14th team comes from N.C. or further north. My guess is that is why A&M was not invited.
I'm sure Fred Jackson usually praises his players, but you could not give more positive feedback than that. Superlatives. This is exciting to read. Thanks.

The first interview he gave, the one where he is sitting in his office, did not impress me at all. Now that he is working with the team and getting into playing football at Michigan, I am very excited about him. His speaking style annoyed me at first but I like it more and more the more interviews I hear.

I think you dissolve the franchise to end the torture of the fans and players.
Put 'em in the cool blue and other colors division. We've just added two more ugly-ass red teams.
No Oklahoma. B1G has too much ugly-ass red already. Just added two more. No more red teams please.

My divisions have always been, especially once we added two more ugly-ass red teams with Rutgers and Maryland:
Ugly-ass Red Division Better-looking Division
Nebraska Michigan
Ohio State Penn State
Wisconsin Iowa
Indiana Northwestern
Maryland Purdue
Rutgers Illinois
Minnestota Sparty
Yes, scarlet, crimson, cardinal, and even maroon are all just types of red (Minnesota is a little bit of a stretch, but close enough).
Too many of the prominent football teams around the nation are red teams, and I'm just sick of it.
Basketball, on the other hand, is often dominated by blue teams more than red ones (UK, KU, Duke, UNC, UCLA, UCONN, etc)
I say put Purdue in the East. We already have way too much ugly-ass red in our division to add Indiana!

Jake Ryan, Joe Bolden, Ben "The Freak" Gedeon, McCray, and now Ferns. We take all your monster Ohio LBs

Hasn't he been trying to get out there for a while? I seem to recall he was denied transfer requests before, no?
This was a great read by the blog's consistently funniest.

Kugler is a monster. He's punishing those kids!
I better join the thread so I can see you be a steak
It would be wise to take one mini slot ninja biannually.
Norfleet = ninja
Flip baby
It would be 10 degrees outside!

that would be seriously stressful if I were a Notre Dame fan. What a bunch of sloppy mistakes.

We need a fresh influx of dreads. Not many of the new commits have them...
I was more excited about Watkins than Crawford back then, and I think Yuri Wright would be the best CB to add if any.
Thanks!
Who is Mattison praising from 4:30-6:00?

Thomas is a tremendous kid and a tremendous athlete that will play with great toughness, accountability, and physicality.

I'd hate to get hit by this guy. Really, I wouldn't want to get hit by anybody, but this guy causes pain.
He smears his opponents.
That's the
The 14th team...

You should be stoned. If I had more points, I could downvote you. I'm sure others will when they see how you got those points.
Texas is a highly accredited university. It is the same size or bigger than tOSU and more or less at Michigan's level with academics.
In the penultimate paragraph, you wrote Larry Powers instead of Bill Powers as UT President.
This is a great post that goes in and out of a lot of thoughtful detail.
One other viable option is for the Big 12 to grab TCU before it ever gets to the Big East. Geography and competitiveness make TCU a good fit.
The Longhorn Network would still be a destabilizing force for the Big 12, but not for the other teams as much as it is/was for A&M.
