Go Blue

2 years 11 weeks ago Who's got it better than us?

Who's got it better than us?

3 years 29 weeks ago This has been a standard

This has been a standard go-to response by Brandon toward frustrated emailers over the last year or so. It isn't fake, it isn't a fraud, and yes, he is stupid enough to "go on record" with responses like this. "Lowlife and unprofessional" is the lunatic in charge of Michigan's athletic department.

3 years 30 weeks ago *waves hand* This isn't the

*waves hand* This isn't the concussion you're looking for.

4 years 3 weeks ago Oh, I'm sure it is.

Oh, I'm sure it is.

4 years 32 weeks ago FWIW, the coach in charge of

FWIW, the coach in charge of recruiting at Sheldon Day's high school (Warren Central in Indianapolis) is a hardcore Michigan hater. As in, the "herp derp lol scUM meatchicken" Ohio State fan on Bucknuts kind of Michigan hater. He routinely ran interference during Michigan's dalliance with Day.

4 years 44 weeks ago Michigan was not an option

Michigan was not an option for Dior when he picked Oregon, so he didn't pick them over us. RR and Gibson liked him better as a slot.

4 years 44 weeks ago He seems set on taking

He seems set on taking officials to all three schools, and he said yesterday that he might not be able to do so during the fall because Bergen Catholic plays a lot of games on Saturdays. So this one could very well go into December or January (which would be just fine for us, since Hand and McDowell will likely be off the board one way or another by then), and we'll have a better idea of what the numbers look like.

4 years 44 weeks ago Dickerson himself said his

Dickerson himself said his final three is in order: Stanford first, Michigan second, Northwestern third.

4 years 44 weeks ago After Bunting committed,

After Bunting committed, Michigan told Dickerson they would continue to recruit him exclusively at DE now. Although if U-M lands Hand and McDowell and still wants Dickerson (and Dickerson decides he wants U-M), I imagine they'd bring him in as an "athlete" and find a spot for him, either at DE or TE.

4 years 45 weeks ago Confirmed by Rivals. Family

Confirmed by Rivals. Family situation came up, but it's been resolved. Visits are a go.

4 years 45 weeks ago The general feeling is

The general feeling is mentioning the words "offensive line" to McDowell is a good way to get your school dropped from consideration.

4 years 46 weeks ago FWIW, Finley wasn't actually

FWIW, Finley wasn't actually offered. Michigan called him and asked if he had any interest in possibly setting up a visit; he said no. The recruiting sites ran with that info as "Michigan offers Finley, Finley sticks with MSU."

5 years 26 weeks ago Not bad, gentlemen. Not bad

Not bad, gentlemen. Not bad at all.

6 years 47 weeks ago posted from iPhone

I'm sorry. I didn't see that post and discussion when it was made. I didn't avoid it; I just didn't see it.



And I'm sorry if I've said things on my blog that anger you, or others. I'm opinionated, and often times I come across as a jerk (to put it lightly), but honestly, I'm past the point of putting much value in what strangers on the internet think of me. That's not me being an ass, or trying to insult you or anyone else. I just have more important things to worry about in my life. I've been battling clinical depression for basically six months now. Things began to crater for me in the latter third of last season. My disappearance here and erratic blogging had nothing to do with suddenly not wanting to say anything because UM was struggling. It had everything to do with *me* struggling. I spent a week in the hospital in late February and early March. Everyday now is a constant struggle. When I finally get the strength to get out of bed, I look myself in the mirror and wonder if I'll have the strength to be here tomorrow. So I'm sorry I've upset you and others with things I've said, and my apparent ducking of people calling me out. I'm just trying to do my best each day, and I'm trying to do things I enjoy.

Thanks guys.

That makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. :)

Not a chance. Ross has a spot saved for him until he's ready to commit.

7 years 21 weeks ago Huh...you know what else the

Huh...you know what else the future would be with Harbaugh?

Beating mediocre teams 38-0 while blocking punts and making field goals and forcing 5 turnovers while committing none instead of winning 67-65 with 5 turnovers and no special teams whatsoever.

Woe is us if that's our future...

7 years 22 weeks ago This is so far offbase. MSU

This is so far offbase. MSU and OSU fans are not encouraging UM to fire RR because they fear him. If they're encouraging UM to fire him it's because firing a coach and hiring a new one is a volatile process and the odds of them pulling even further ahead of us increase (in their eyes).

MSU and OSU fans do not fear Rodriguez, believe me. And to date, they have no reason to.

7 years 22 weeks ago Haven't heard anything like

Haven't heard anything like that from Cooper.

Haven't heard anything on Johnson period, because barring some sort of major upset, he won't be coming here.

7 years 22 weeks ago Damon Knox. And he's not

Damon Knox.

And he's not going to make it.

7 years 24 weeks ago Janoris Jenkins = junior

Janoris Jenkins = junior corner for Florida from Pahokee.

Jelani Jenkins = redshirt freshman linebacker for Florida from Good Counsel.

From Mike Farrell earlier:

http://twitter.com/rivalsmike/status/588079253422080

Michigan could be the new leader for cornerback Blake Countess from Maryland

7 years 26 weeks ago Nope, he's Green all the way.

Nope, he's Green all the way. Unfortunately, I can't blame him at the moment, either.

7 years 26 weeks ago Yeah, I removed any link to

Yeah, I removed any link to the video because it started popping up virus warnings on people's computers, apparently.

7 years 26 weeks ago Yes, they were the same

Yes, they were the same coaches. The thing that changed is Michigan's (and Michigan State's) coaching staff.

7 years 26 weeks ago Yes.

Yes.

7 years 26 weeks ago Just FYI, we're probably 5th

Just FYI, we're probably 5th out of those 5 teams.

7 years 27 weeks ago Combination of both. UM

Combination of both. UM really liked him, but as things have progressed,

a) he visited Wisconsin and really liked it;

b) Michigan's focus has shifted almost exclusively toward defense, and...

c) with B in mind, the wisdom of taking a good-not-great possession WR decreased.

UM may have "cooled" on him, but it was convenient for all sides. Wisconsin pulled ahead, and UM decided not to put up a major fight. If we take another WR, it'll be Watkins.
