9 weeks 1 day ago dylan

there is no indication that Bob Dylan ever went to a single class at Minnesota, although he was undoubtedly enrolled for a semester.  So I agree he should have been excluded.

9 weeks 2 days ago the SDSU victory at New Mexico

Out here in Santa Fe, just up the road from the Lobos in Albuquerque, I recall the shock when the Lobos lost to SDSU.  My recollection is that the UNM suspensions included Kendall Williams, the Mountain West player of the year.  He is not the highest scorer on the team, but he is the glue.  Also, it was very apparent to everyone here that the Lobos were looking ahead.  At that time, Cincinnati was ranked about 10 in the country, and the Lobos travelled to Cincinnati and won about 5 days after losing to SDSU.  They followed that great win with a 14 point loss at St. Louis.  The Lobos need to be focused to play their best, and they never had any focus that day against SDSU.  Having said that, it is probably true that SDSU had to play well to win at the Pit.

22 weeks 1 day ago Daughter Class of 2011 LSA,

Daughter Class of 2011 LSA, son class of 2014 University of Arizona.  We root for Arizona (unless they play Michigan), went to the New Mexico Bowl, were not surprised by Nevada gaining 659 yards, but cheered for the exciting finish.  We will see if the UA defense improves over time, or gets progressively worse.

1 year 34 weeks ago If Al wants cactus

he will have to go to Tucson.  There are no saguaro cactus here at 7,000 feet.  UNM should really think twice before going for another offensive coordinator from the Big Ten.

2 years 33 weeks ago santa fe

nmwolverine here. Santa Fe native.  Grew up in Philadelphia area (Lower Merion HS).  Enjoy the big sunny skies but usually get out to northern Michigan in the summers (for a week or two anyway).  Would be curious as to the names of the ABQ bars, although at game time I am parked in my living room.

3 years 8 weeks ago The last Ivy League team

I was a sophomore at Penn in spring 1979 when they were the last Ivy League school to get this far. Those old enough recall they beat a good Syracuse team and then knocked off #1 seed North Carolina. They slowed down after that, beating another overacheiving team (St. Johns?) and then losing by 50 pts to Michigan State led by you know who. I felt they played well and had some bad luck that day, layups not going down etc. They should have lost by no more than 25.
The point is that a good Ivy League team can surprise and win. To do that they need to be very hot from the outside. So I predict Cornell will win without having seen them play. Kentucky is beatable. They won a number of very close games this year.

3 years 15 weeks ago expensive for a college student maybe

Here in NM, it is about $100 for a civil filing fee, about $125 for the newspaper publication charge, and either a minimal attorneys fee or better yet free simple forms for a do it yourself process, including the 5 minute hearing with the judge. I am convinced sham would have persuaded the judge the name change is a good idea.

3 years 22 weeks ago two more years of scholarship

This is the best idea Brian ever had. It could really help people who need the help. Legal questions. Can you do this for the football and no other teams? Since there is not a girls football team, a Title IX issue always lurks.

3 years 22 weeks ago not worried about football

worried about basketball after Manny and Sims are gone. Please discuss.

3 years 24 weeks ago If this happened to Michigan

If Michigan had beaten Illinois, and qualified for a bowl game, and was offered either Pizza Bowl or GMAC Bowl, and turned it down, I would be disgusted with this team and its holier than thou attitude. I would never look at them the same way. I would say, "Look at yourselves. You are a 6-6 team. Practice, go to the Bowl game and get better. You are what you are." I recall Notre Dame did this some years ago, maybe with Bob Davie. It does not meet my standards.

3 years 24 weeks ago Why are we talking about these comments

when we could be talking about important topics like Tiger Woods' private life.

3 years 25 weeks ago comments on Griese make me think of Brady 1998

1. Opening day. Looked sharp in loss against ND. Pleasantly surprised with the new guy despite team around him caving.
2. Bowl game against Arkansas. A great win, but I remember the following. Second half, Brady throws a sort of duck to a receiver in the end zone. It was apparent while the ball was in the air that it would be intercepted, and it was. I said to myself "There he goes again. When will he ever learn to be smarter with the ball." He was of course a fourth year junior playing in a conservative scheme. Coaches can only do so much.

3 years 27 weeks ago I don't remember circumstances of Mattison leaving

Is it true Jim Hermann filled a vacancy created by Mattison voluntarily leaving Michigan for ND? Really? And can anybody explain why the huge improvement in the defense after 1996 when Mattison left. Should we give Hermann credit for that or not. I saw very few games in 1996, as I live in the southwest and did not have cable then.

3 years 27 weeks ago jones

graduated in 99, like Gold and a lot of the defense. Gold is the one who didn't play as much during the year but did get playing time in the Rose Bowl. Back then I assumed the line of fast LBs would never end, and the Hutchinsons would never end. By 2000, the defense was way down but the offensive line peaked. Within a year or two after that, neither line was good any more. Kudos to Lloyd for winning as many games as he did with subpar offensive and defensive lines. 2003 Oregon- we couldn't run when it mattered. Lloyd's Bowl run of 1997 to 2000 was largely done on Moeller recruits.

3 years 30 weeks ago the power of logic

First, I am expecting a UM win tomorrow for the precise reasons stated. Now I look at what was apparent before the season:

1. Penn State could not be as good with the huge losses on their offensive line and loss of all three receivers, especially D. Williams.
2. OSU could not be as good with the weak QB getting no help anymore from Beanie Wells.
These were predictable. Also predictable:
3. The Denver Broncos would implode with the loss of Cutler and the unheard of dissension combined with the young rookie coach with just slightly more experience than Jim Zorn.

3 years 30 weeks ago how about paul krebs at new mexico

I recollect he hired Urban Meyer at Bowling Green. At New Mexico he hired Steve Alford, who has improved the bb program after Dave Bliss (he's the one who went down at Baylor), Fran Fraschilla, and Ritchie McKay. The Mike Locksley era has not gone as well (note 0-6 this year and suspension for altercation with assistant).

3 years 33 weeks ago Religion is only permitted

Religion is only permitted here when Tebow is referenced. However, I am not sure if a post speculating about Jesus compared to Michael Jordan can be termed a religious post.

3 years 33 weeks ago what makes OSU better than

what makes OSU better than Iowa?
what makes us better than Wisconsin or Minnesota?
Purdue was close to beating ND and Oregon. Purdue has shown as much as we have. Watch out if they learn how to win a close one.
In fact, I would put Michigan #1. We are not that good, but we continue to win games we should lose. We could win the conference while deserving to be #6. This is noticeable because it never happened under Lloyd (did it?)

3 years 33 weeks ago analytically, the troll makes sense.

Normally you expect good run support/blitzes out of your safeties OR better drop back help for the cornerbacks. The fact that Gerg is not doing this is a red flag that he just can't do it. The analytical alternative, that he doesn't know as much as us, is just too funny. Now add to the mix that our defense tightens up in the red zone WHERE THERE IS A LOT LESS SPACE TO DEFEND. So the Gerg brain cramp magically disappears. How could this be? Because the lack of space hides our huge deficiencies. So in the end I agree with the general support for Gerg, especially in light of our talent shortage. If we blitzed better and without giving up coverage, we would. If we could cover better without giving up run support, we would. We are not good on defense. We are playing way over our ability on both sides of the ball right now.

3 years 34 weeks ago When I say we are a team that

When I say we are a team that will win games we shouldn't win, I mean that we are not a good team this year. But we will win a lot anyway. Credit determination, coaching and character, and ingenuity. We are not good. Face it. But there is a reason I predicted 10 wins. See above.

3 years 34 weeks ago Out here in the Land of Enchantment

Sparty will be on ESPN and Michigan on ESPN2. Probably because the MSU game looks like it will be better. BigTen will be showing Minn v. NW.

3 years 34 weeks ago crowd noise

How will Tate handle real crowd noise when the line and receivers can't hear him? How did Threet/Sheridan handle that. I can't remember that much from 2008.

3 years 34 weeks ago she's better

than that guy who did the Horror and last year's BCS championship game, Charles something, that guy who I think played at Tennessee. When he and his partner announce, they don't always know what the down is. That's special. Pam just doesn't bother me. Sorry to disappoint.

3 years 34 weeks ago An away game.

I am very optimistic, but there has been no real test yet. what will Tate look like with a hostile crowd. The experience with the rest of the offense will help, and he probably won't fall apart. But he may not be on fire. We'll know a lot more after that.

3 years 34 weeks ago improvisation

You have not considered that Tate was on the run constantly against ND, and that he had great moments no matter how the pocket broke down or how much he had to roll out in anticipation of the pocket breaking down. Whereas under Lloyd, especially in 2004, Chad did what he was asked to do, which was limited. Chad may have had more ability than Lloyd allowed for. But from a fan perspective, he never did what Tate did against ND. Even as a junior in the USC Rose Bowl Chad looked a lot like Navarre under the huge USC rush. Tate is part of a huge breath of fresh air which is why we are all so excited with him and the offensive team in general. Let's admit there is no chance Chad wins the ND game with our offensive line.

3 years 35 weeks ago It's a real change

that we can be excited about Eastern week. Not just a bump on the road, but a chance to see some excitement.

3 years 35 weeks ago The ND game

showed what we knew in August: the offense would be improved and the defense would still be questionable. But there is a fire with this team completely lacking last year. We have no right to win 10 games with the talent and experience we have. But we could win 10 by playing over our heads. Regime change. Don't bet on it. Just enjoy it.

3 years 35 weeks ago I wouldn't bet on 10-2.

I just predicted it for fun. Biggest factor is really down year in Big 10. We'll see.

3 years 35 weeks ago This was my prediction for regular season

combined with a loss in bowl game. I assumed we would beat either PSU or OSU unexpectedly, and blow an easier game. I based this on vastly improved offensive play combined with questions on defense, but more than either of those a down year in Big 10. It remains to be seen if OSU can develop Pryor this year without Robiskie, Hartline, Beanie, etc. Others have pointed out similarity to 2005 Henne. It remains to be seen if PSU can handle losses on offensive line plus loss of the 3 Musketeer receivers. I also assumed we would play beyond our abilities from time to time. Still too early to know if I was right or not, but I like the idea of watching a Michigan team play beyond its capability instead of generally playing below it.
