7 weeks 6 days ago	Titanic	I remember this scene from Titanic.
8 weeks 5 hours ago	Perhaps	You haven't seen the Chicago Blawkhawks play ice hockey this year.  I wouldn't worry about the Wings having to face anyone in the Stanley Cup final.
15 weeks 23 hours ago	and once they had that chance	they brought in the closers: William McKinley, Grover Cleveland and James Madison.
15 weeks 23 hours ago	Sammy Sosa	Sammy Sosa agrees with your Lance Armstong-esque argument.  If there is no evidence, then it can't be true.
15 weeks 3 days ago	Better execution	In Downton than in Nola.
20 weeks 2 days ago	And	You know how it turned out for the most well known guy who had that done, right?
25 weeks 1 day ago	It's been a while	Since I had civil procedure, but I imagine that this case will be removed to a federal court upon Maryland's move.  Unless the ACC had agreed to make NC the situs for all litigation.
25 weeks 1 day ago	At this point	I'd rather have Eddie Lacy than Kenny Lacy.
25 weeks 1 day ago	At this point, I'm not sure	At this point, I'm not sure if Conley is a reliable source.  He was 100% committed yesterday.
25 weeks 1 day ago	My hope	And hunch is that after face-to-face discussion, Mattison encouraged him to decommit and take his visits while making it explicitly clear that there was no guarantee of a spot in this class for him.

26 weeks 3 days ago	Above avg defenses	Given Denard's record against above average defenses, I think Gardner's unknown reaction is preferable to Denard's known reaction. I may be ugly wrong Saturday, but I'm hoping we see Devin take another step up.
26 weeks 3 days ago	Wrong!	I guarantee that Denard's remaining performances are tied to the discussions on this blog -- especially the amount if comments that focus on choosing one good outcome over another good outcome.
26 weeks 5 days ago	Broken leg	He's not getting up from that kind of fracture
29 weeks 3 days ago	Templeton	You do realize that the best rye on the planet is made in Iowa, yes?
29 weeks 3 days ago	If he couldn't damage it more	Would he have really been a worse option? He's the only offensive threat we have. An offense consisting of QB leads and an occasional "oh no" could NOT have been worse than what I witnessed.
35 weeks 5 days ago	Easy solution:	Move. If you love Michigan sports on your tv, it's the obvious solution. /s (kinda)
35 weeks 5 days ago	By what objective?	The same one that says that, objectively, Bernie Madoff was a good businessman?
36 weeks 2 days ago	Haven't forgotten	I haven't forgotten that Smith didn't do anything special on that play.  It was designed very well, the pass was on the money (thankfully, or it would have been intercepted after it bounced off his hands), the blocks were great.  To Smith's credit, he set up the blocks very well -- but that's a trait that ANY Michigan running back should have.  Just because he succeeded there (what were his other big plays last year?) doesn't mean he's best man for the job. Maybe I'm still bitter about watching him drop a TD pass in Iowa City last year when I was surrounded by Hawk fans.
36 weeks 3 days ago	Dee Hart > Vincent (Devin) Smith	the fact that Vincent Smith is still on the field in any offensive capacity means there are at least some plays that would belong to Hart.  I think it's awesome that Vincent Smith is tough as nails and gritty, but I like my running backs to be able to catch or juke somebody.
36 weeks 3 days ago	As an Iowan,	If you'd witnessed how Gene Chizek did Iowa State and his recruits there, you wouldn't feel bad for the guy at all.  He made one hell of a mess and Iowa State was fortunate that Auburn wanted him.  He's like Lane Kiffin with less winning.
1 year 8 weeks ago	Don't worry	This isn't the Penn St locker room
1 year 10 weeks ago	Heartbreaking	Brilliant analysis and a voice like Ron Burgandy. He will be missed. /s
1 year 15 weeks ago	Kozan isn't done!	I have faith that he has the ability to verbally commit to Auburn, Iowa and Michigan before sending his LOI to UCLA.
1 year 15 weeks ago	Is it really snake oil	when the kid "committed" to MSU only to hold a spot when Michigan said no?
1 year 15 weeks ago	Meyer didn't	think that it was fair that the other SEC coaches also used these tactics.
1 year 15 weeks ago	You have to	You have to respect a guy like Kozan who refuses to let Jordan Payton run away with the "Weirdest Recruitment" award.  Obviously, overcoming Payton is an uphill battle, but Kozan can manage to miss a few more self-imposed commitment deadlines, he's got to be in the running.
1 year 15 weeks ago	Yesterday	Yesterday worked out perfectly.  You've got the coaches of both division winners attacking the coach at Ohio while Mr. Hoke stays out of the fray.  I'm 100% for this outcome.  If the next few years consist of Meyer stealing Wisconsin and Sparty recruits and those coaches calling him a cheater -- I don't see how this doesn't help encourage kids with good character to end up at Michigan.
1 year 15 weeks ago	definitely /s	definitely /s
1 year 15 weeks ago	Your last sentence is	especially true with Joe Pa's death.  He'd been the last bastion of truth telling at all costs in the B1G coaching ranks.
