10 weeks 5 days ago	This Time When Nix Tells Trey Burke..	This time when Nix tells Trey Burke, "you're soft", Burke retorts, "that's not what your girl said".   Michigan gives 100% for 40 minutes and discovers the antidote to soft play. Michigan 78, State 70.

The post would not take initially, so I retried it. When it finally took, all of the previous attempts showed up too. My bad. Moderators, can you please delete the multiples?

11 weeks 5 days ago	I Appreciate The Diversity..	of styles. I observed this site for quite awhile before emerging from the woods. I chose this site to become a poster because I found myself here the most due to the comprehensive information available at any given moment. There is less lag for new information.  Generally, there are some pretty thought provoking minds lurking here. I also dig your site Magnus. Keep doing the girl pix.  I admire and draw inspiration from the fact that you guys made this into a vocation.  Seth, I always enjoy your magazine as well. I built my computer too. As a guy who rebuilt a BMW transmission just because I'd always wanted to rebuild a transmission, I appreciate information freaks (as I am one). Go Blue.

11 weeks 6 days ago	Vance Bedford	A natural fit.
11 weeks 6 days ago	Vance Bedford Highlights	Louisville • In 2012, the defense finished in the top 25 for the third straight season. The Cardinals were ranked 23rd in the nation in total defense and 16th in pass defense. • Louisville finished 23rd in total defense in 2011 after ranking 14th in 2010. Bedford's defense was 10th nationally against the run, 17th in scoring defense and 21st in sacks in 2011. • In 2010, Louisville was 10th in pass defense and seventh in the country in sacks. Florida • In 2009, he helped the Gators to a 13-1 record and a win over previously-undefeated Cincinnati in the Sugar Bowl.  • His secondary was one of the best in the nation, finishing seventh in the country in interceptions and second in the nation in pass efficiency defense.  • Joe Haden, a first-round pick by the Cleveland Browns, was a consensus All-American in 2009 and was also named a finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award, given to the nation's top defensive back.  • During the 2008 season, he guided a secondary that ranked third in pass efficiency defense and 20th in pass yardage defense. The group also tied the school record and led the nation with 26 interceptions. Chicago (NFL) • His unit returned seven interceptions for touchdowns during a four-year stretch, equaling the team`s total from the previous nine seasons combined.  • Developed three young talents in Mike Brown, Charles Tillman and Nathan Vasher. Michigan • Led the nation in pass defense in 1997 and ranked 20th in 1996.  • The Wolverines` 1997 national championship secondary set an NCAA record allowing just 8.8 yards per completion and finished fifth nationally by allowing just 133.8 passing yards per contest.  • His secondary in 1997 led the Big Ten and finished third nationally with 22 interceptions, and Charles Woodson became the only defensive player to ever win the Heisman Trophy.
11 weeks 6 days ago	Vance Bedford!!! Seeing As How Hoke Also Coaches The D-Line	I am offering my energy to the universe in hope that they pull the brilliant stroke and bring back Vance Bedford. Sure, he is the DC at Louisville, but offer him a raise and the opportunity to replace Mattison down the road. The defensive backfield becomes a strength in short order. He developed Charles Woodson fergodsakes.
11 weeks 6 days ago	If My Crime Is Being Too Intense..	and I never get another point in this space, I'm cool with that. LOL. But don't get it twisted, you challenged my claims and I offered to oblige you. I am intense because my formative young adult years were spent in the Defense Language Institute preparing to become a Cryptologic Russian Linguist. I got the top secret clearance with SCI/SBI. I speak (or used to) flawless, fluent Russian. I have done things you would neither believe nor can I talk about. While some of you were drinking it up and deciding who could join your clique, I was in survival school preparing to give my life so you could continue to have the right to create boards with groupthink attributes. At heart and in body and spirit, I am still that specially trained patriot. So sue me. I know a little bit about a few things. Including attitude.
11 weeks 6 days ago	My Friend..	A few points and I'm done with this exchange because I don't come here for confrontation. Or proving anything to anyone.  1. I know what I said is the truth and that is enough for me. That being said, I live in the metro Detroit area and will meet you for beers and satisfy your challenge if we can work out the logistics. Then, YOU can come on here and vouch for me. Because I could care less. I have no internet soul. I am far beyond others defining what I am or must live up to. 2. Last night I got irritated that some of my posts were negged for no other reason than censorship. I also got my ire up after seeing a couple of young guys giving older guys 'guff'. I don't normally 'talk smack' about my physical status either. But I got a bit tired of some of these youngsters assuming 'fathers' are over the hill.  3. I put all three of my kids through Michigan. I could tell some tales about our great institution that are best left unsaid. 4. Clearly, this is not a place for free exchange of ideas. Democracy. 5. I come here because I fell in love with Michigan one saturday morning around 1970. So much so, that I steered my youngest daughter there despite the fact she was accepted at Harvard. 6. Go Blue.

12 weeks 9 hours ago	What's the Point..	So I can get a point? Make it worth my while and I'll show up.
12 weeks 13 hours ago	Bacon, You Are Going To Get Fried..	to a crisp. Don't you realize this is a communist board? Go along. Get your cult hat on, fer godsakes.  As for that game, it was a huge, huge upset at the time. I graduated High School in 1980. To touch on the older guys getting no respect in these parts, all I can say is some of you whippersnappers are lucky we are old enough to have learned restraint. Otherwise, we'd unplug you from the matrix and expose some truths to you that you really don't want to know, just yet. And for the record, I still have a six pack at 50. Can still manage to run a 4.6 (4.3 back then). And could pass for 35.
12 weeks 14 hours ago	Dude...	Feeling the love. How such an artfully written piece nets a negative one, makes this one, wonder. The too "Kill Bill" machismo was purposely poignant and graphic in order to drive home the point. I repeat, "Blitzkrieg their asses". Bring everything you have in such an awe-inspiring, massive, relentless assault, that they are overwhelmed. This can be about fun, right?
12 weeks 21 hours ago	Reduce It To One Key..	I would caution against analysis paralysis. To use a street fighting analogy, most street fights are extremely short in duration. Therefore, the prudent martial artist trains for one swift, end of story move. The goal is to have no response from the opponent. So the best instructors arm their students with a variety of moves for different situations with the common denominator being, whichever move you choose to deploy, execute it swiftly and lethally. So, when the decision is made that a physical response cannot be avoided, choose a move and execute it. Analogous to BBall, you practice those bread and butter moves endlessly so that there is no thinking involved in the unfortunate moment you must act. The next time an opponent tries to exploit Michigan physically, the response should be swift and lethal. Whether that be by upping the intensity and running them until they drop dead, or delivering a series of manball stops in the paint, etc. The key is the attitude. The attitude must be, 'You want a piece of me, well then, fine. Choke on it. Because I am going to give you more me than you can handle'. Blitzkrieg their asses.

12 weeks 3 days ago	Michigan Improves Immediately By Using The Brick..	I had a younger cousin living in a very tough part of Detroit as a youth. The area was gang infested and he was the oldest of three siblings. I was four years older, but I lived too far away to help him. An older, larger kid, a true bully, took to terrorizing him at around age 11. This kid was evil incarnate. He was around 14 years old. He was known by the precinct cops. His entire family was comprised of generations of thugs. He beat my cousin like a grown man. Sent him home bloodied and eviscerated. My cousin's mom (single parent) went and spoke to the kid's family. The mom threw up her hands and said she couldn't handle him. She then went to the police. This just made the kid angrier. My cousin was reduced to finding new routes home from school and improving his footspeed. Then one day, his mom had enough. When my cousin came running home from school with the bully in hot pursuit, she watched from the window. As her son neared the house, instead of rushing out to intervene, she locked the door. To my cousin's utter horror, as he rushed up the porch and tried the door, he hollered for his mother. And he saw her sitting there in the window as if she didn't care at all. By now the bully was making his way across the lawn. My cousin turned to consider jumping off the porch and running. But then he saw it. A large, fresh brick. Just sitting there by the door. As the bully leapt up onto the porch, he met that brick. Full on in the face. When he got released from the hospital, he wanted to be friends.
12 weeks 4 days ago	The Truth Must Be Embraced..	Before the team can advance, they must embrace the truth. They are in a regressive phase right now. They are not getting better. This is somewhat alarming. Alarming from the point of view that the deficiencies as I see them, are related to coaching. Exhibit A: Defense. Good defensive teams get that way because the coach demands it or you sit. See Bobby Knight, Tom Izzo. Tolerating sub par defense feeds it. A dog chasing his tail, will be busy. Figure it out coaching staff...and quick. Exhibit B: Agression. The team needs to embrace being the bully. Beat somebody up. Stop trying to protect your lunch money. Start taking the opponent's lunch money and their girls too. From the opening tip we need to see every player in a Michigan uniform in full attack mode. Feed them gunpowder, chain them to their dorm rooms, do whatever it takes to make them play angry and fierce. That is all.

14 weeks 3 days ago	How Anyone Could Top Ray Lewis..	Speaks to the inability of people to reason. Teo is a kid. And harmed no one except himself. Ray Lewis should be in jail.
14 weeks 4 days ago	In that 1981 NCAA Championship Game...	Isaiah Thomas was a sophomore point guard. He won the national championship by learning to take what teams gave him and to attack relentlessly. Part of Michigan's weakness in my view is the current mindset to 'respond'. The better mindset would be to be the aggressor and make the other team respond.  Regardless of whose court the game is on. Mental toughness and control are the key ingredients needed for this mix.
