I think the overall performance in all 3 phases was damn impressive, considering it was the first game of the year & the relative youth of this year's team. Other than the obvious (Speight), no major issues that can't be coached-up.
My daughter & I will go to dinner at my parent's house. Then Friday is the travel day to Ann Arbor for The Game on Saturday! Happy Thanksgiving to all of you, GO BLUE!!
I will be there with my girlfriend & my daughter. Sect. 305 with parking in the Regents Drive parking garage. If you're in the garage, give me a shout!
I'm trying to get back in. I had season tickets from 2007-2011, but had to drop them due to a number of reasons. Paid $200 on NYE to hopefully improve my points. I'm not an Alumnus, let alone a Letterwinner so I don't get help there. Looking forward to the drive from SE PA again for Fall football Saturdays. *Fingers crossed* Go Blue!
The host was Chris Childers. Very good typically, but with this whole Michigan CC situation, he has been propping up Schiano for weeks. He's a Chicago guy, huge ND fan, & has a soft spot for NW. He did shows with Eric Legrand, thinks he got to know Schiano through Legrand, thinks he would be great at Michigan. I listen to Sirius 91 all the time. Chizik is very, very good on the shows, and he obviously knows what he's talking about. Childers looks for "good radio", not necessarily anything else, a la Bill King if you're familiar.
These so-called "insiders" are all butt hurt because they refused to do any work & were too arrogant to believe that their precious NFL could lose out to College. Please go away now. Thanks.
Development of talent, team toughness, & no entitlement. I'm sure there are many other things that he will bring, but those 3 are what I'm looking for right from the start!
After Hoke was fired, I truly thought we had a slim chance at JH. I am so happy that the Team will begin trending up sooner rather than later. I don't think my heart or mind could have taken another 5 - 10 years of subpar football. Now, for the Lions win in Green Bay!
I, like many of us were skeptical (former CEO, etc.), but he is obviously a different guy than DB. A definite tip of the cap to Mr. Hackett - I would absolutely buy him a beverage or 2 if I were to ever meet him!
This should surprise no one. By all accounts he is a smart, classy, & selfless young man. I really wish things would have worked out better for him on-field because he deserved it.
All of these NFL "experts" get stuff fed to them - ESPN, CBS, FOX - none of these goofs can dig up anything on their own. That's why they don't know a thing about all of this. If they actually had to effort a story, it would be a first.
The moon & stars have aligned: for Hoke to suck (which most of us saw coming before the season), for the 49ers to suck/have all of the turmoil (most did not see this), & Brandon getting shit-canned? No one could have seen all three of those happening.
None of the "would he or wouldn't he have been fired" crap matters. A 6-6 bowl appearance would have been very underwhelming for me.
All of these "personal stories", reprts, etc... This has been & continues to be the longest month EVER. I cannot wait until this is settled, one way or the other. I hope it ends the way we all would like!

Is a bitch, Dave, you arrogant prick! Another company run into the ground...
This is a great playlist, going to order this soon. Thanks for posting WD!
Go Blue!
We hired a lunatic. A beautiful, magnificent lunatic.
Well done! I agree 100%!
Even IF he isn't able to close, it doesn't appear to that it will be due to a lack of effort. JMFH x 2
