| 6 weeks 2 days ago | Congratulations on making the |
Congratulations on making the most semantically-based horrible defense I've ever read on MGoBlog. And that's saying something.
It goes without saying that being technically correct here (I could make an argument to the contrary but its not worth the bandwitdh) does not count as a moral victory. If anything it looks like a defeat. A simple "my bad, I was wrong" sometimes can go a long way... |

He never said UM was doing it because Stanford did; he was pointing out, by example, that the naming of the HC position was not a correlation with irrelevance. Reading comprehension. |
| 8 weeks 9 hours ago | Right to work laws don't |
Right to work laws don't really have an impact on hiring/firing or "cutting dead weight". Essentially, they forbid requiring a dues payment or union membership as a condition of employment. They are means of economically attacking the larger union base (money). Regardless of right to work law or not, the corrective action/progressive discipline/termination is going to be covered by the CBA. |

Considering PERA already contains a clarification on graduate student research assistants not being covered and a reference to the 20-point test,, I agree. They would just amend the law accordingly. |

| 14 weeks 4 days ago | The whole tone of the Chiefs |
The whole tone of the Chiefs defense changed when Flowers went out. Carr is a decent #2, but expected Robinson and Cooper to play starter minutes in anywhere other than the nickel was going to be trouble (and it was). Add in a Justin Houston injury for much of the 4Q (arguably their best pass rusher) and you have a perfect storm of a collapse.* *That, coupled with losing their best player (Charles) and his backup, and their #2 WR. |

Chiefs were great. Okoye in excellent would bounce everyone off him. Thomas flew around, and Stephone Paige and Neil Smith were very underrated. |

Go watch the play. There was nowhere to "tuck it and run forward" without reversing field. |
| 22 weeks 5 days ago | Gardner is calling slide |
Gardner is calling slide protections now? That's news to me. When did this start happening? Can you explain what "awareness" is? That's a pretty vague term for something you're a cussing someone of being bad at. On the particular play you're referencing, I don't mind the decision to change fields - nobody was open and sitting in the (moved) pocket has not been working out. I would have rather seen him cut it up field a little sooner, but that's from the benefit of a top angle camera. Getting to the outside makes sense from a clock management perspective and because he should have a shot at turning the corner on a DE. |

There was a decent amount of criticism of him while he was at Baltimore for being too conservative. It's a bit of confirmation bias, but if you google for old articles or message boards from when he left Baltimore there's a lot of statements which might sound all too familiar ("enjoy it when he rushes 3 on 3rd and 19 against OSU" etc). I like Mattison, and think he's a good coach and great recruiter... But I do think he's too conservative at times. Especially with a small lead. It worked against ND, Akron, and UConn when they all made a mistake. It did not work tonight. |

Had 2 extra, couldn't sell them together (pathetically), all scalpels were trying to dump. Mostly $20 for tickets, I sold a single for $10 as I was walking in, because 10 > 0 |
| 36 weeks 1 day ago | Not sure on the article |
Not sure on the article posted, I was having issues getting my insider to work on my iPad, but I'm a consistent FO reader from the NFL-side. Their metrics are pretty good for that. On the college side, their 2013 Almanac has UM projected at 7-5 (4-4), and they note that "if blue-chippers click... [Michigan could] vastly exceed their projection". So... I'm not really sure without reading that article what the numbers actually mean, but it's apparently not the same as FO has projected and published on their website. Edit: got insider to work. Very weird. The metrics BF uses there are not the same as most others FO use, so don't kill FO for it. The FO Almanac is much more upbeat about Michigan, though notes they are young in some key areas. |
| 42 weeks 6 days ago | jackrobert - Since you do |
jackrobert - Since you do class action for a living, are you little frustrated with the analysis (or lack thereof) of certification? I feel most journalists (save McCann's primer @ SI) have glossed over the certification angle. I'm going to go law-nerd for a moment, but one of the most significant things that has impact my area of law in the past few years in terms of being fearful of a class action is Wal-Mart v Dukes. While I don't touch class actions (in-house employment law) I feel there are definitely some commonality and typicality hurdles for O'Bannon to overcome. It might be quite dull for most people, but it seems crazy to me that there are ton of articles out there about certification and rarely any of them mention Dukes and the increased focus that has been placed on certifications recently. Again, I don't deal with class actions enough to know it in all the detail someone like you might, but I've read enough about it over the past few years to like having that quiver to attack potential classes, and seems to be really glossed over.

| 1 year 7 weeks ago | I love the Manning |
I love the Manning suggestion. While others have comments on Hart being good on recruiting due to his personality, in my opinion Manning would likely bring the same. I had classes with him while he was playing and he was incredibly social and a really nice guy. Always talked to people and got along with all the different groups. Great guy and would love to see him here. |
| 1 year 34 weeks ago | Seconding the recomendations |
Seconding the recomendations of footballguys.com . Hands down the best FF website out there. They also have a weekly podcast if you're into that sort of thing. Sigmund Bloom is one of the best FF analysts out there right now and they routinely go deeper than most FF websites. As someone else mentioned Fantasypros.com is great for weekly lineup decisions.
And of course, FootballOutsiders.com is good if you invest in the KUBIAK projections if you're a stat-head.
good luck! |
| 2 years 8 weeks ago | The phrase that the "helmet |
The phrase that the "helmet has wings" was something that I pre-dates RichRod, but I definitely was referencing the commercial in the title, although tidied up a bit, as "our helmet's got wings" (as you pointed out) just sounds odd. I did consider changing it at one point, but I'm sticking with it. |

| 2 years 11 weeks ago | Meyer's success at Florida |
Meyer's success at Florida (recruiting and otherwise) get him every benefit of the doubt with reporters.
It's just presumed that he will recruit very well and win. Unfortunately, not much to do except point it out at this point, and hope he doesn't win. |

Well said, can't believed this is lost on so many people.
Yes, the Onion is parody, but it often has a point to it, not just some dumb site you go to to watch a dude get hit by a football thrown by son. |

Looking back on it, although career-wise it didn't have many follow ups, I'm glad I chose History as well. Quick question - what was your favorite history class? favorite prof? |
| 2 years 12 weeks ago | Thanks. I was thinking |
Thanks. I was thinking about recruiting pitches for future football players there. There's very little which would encourage anyone to attend the program in the next few years. Sure, maybe O'Brien wins in the next few years (I'm not of that impression), but I just can't see this program ever being the same. Perhaps 5-10 years from now there will be some attempt, but there's still open wounds then. |

Much more explosive than Smith.
No reason to worry about it at this point, we need to see how well he does in offseason and next year's camp. |
