11 weeks 4 days ago Someone please teach Frank

Someone please teach Frank Clark the "Frank the Tank" dance from Old School. Perfect sack dance...if we ever actually see him sack anyone.

Student section cheers, "Frank the Tank! Frank the Tank! Frank the Tank!" as Frank goes into his patented sack dance.

Hell, think of the t-shirt possibilities.

1 year 12 weeks ago Ah, that jogged the memory.

Ah, that jogged the memory. He came over after the second period thinking the game was actually over (ya know, like two halves in basketball or something). We kindly reminded him that hockey plays 3 periods and to walk away from us. I don't remember if we finished the C-Ya chant with the proper chain of profanities, though he definitely deserved every one of them. The Sharkeez Shark Bowls are a helluva drug...

1 year 37 weeks ago I haven't seen a tweet from

I haven't seen a tweet from @mgoblog in the last couple of days either. That is usually my bat signal when new material hits the front page. 

1 year 37 weeks ago Everytime I see "JMFJ" I [Rob

Everytime I see "JMFJ" I [Rob Lowe Parks and Rec voice] literally laugh out loud. As for Trouba, until I see him in the maize and blue on the ice with the team, I remain skeptical of high-level hockey commits. I guess it's good that we're still getting high-level commits, even if they don't stick...take that Sparty!

1 year 38 weeks ago Mostly just stuff I hear

Mostly just stuff I hear around the interwebz from insiderz and stuff. I'm not trying to fan and rumor flames or anything, just thought I'd pose a recruiting question in a recruiting themed thread as opposed to starting something new. We'll all find out for sure with regards to O'Brien in a couple of weeks. I find it odd that we'd take a pass on a player at a position of need, but I'm not our coaches. 

1 year 38 weeks ago Good points. I like Yuri

Good points. I like Yuri Wright and hope he goes Blue. I think we'd find room for Dunn with a nice firm handshake to Mike Cox after this year. #noiwillnotmakeacoxjoke

1 year 38 weeks ago That is awesome news. Now on

That is awesome news. Now on the flip side, there have been some pretty good sources saying that we've cooled on O'Brien and he is all but assuredly choosing Tennessee on the 6th. I guess that means we have room for Darboh too?

1 year 38 weeks ago Did Eastern motion the TE

Did Eastern motion the TE over to the far side pre-snap, pre-video? Our defensive alignment is off. RVB, the SDE is lined up to the weakside of the formation along with our SAM Ryan. Hawthorne and Roh are over the strongside of the formation when they are both weakside players. I wonder why we lined up this way if we knew off the bat what was the strong and weak side of the offensive formation. 

1 year 39 weeks ago I think they're going for

I think they're going for Bronze. They added a bronze accent to the jerseys when they went all "300" with their logos and stuff. Which on a side note, I still can't find funny enough that they constantly play the "SPARTANS!" and other clips from that homo-erotic movie with no sense of irony or shame. I guess people in glass houses (Pop Evil) can't cast stones though.

1 year 39 weeks ago I agree in that it's asking

I agree in that it's asking for trouble, but there was a pretty sweet picture of Gallon I think going up for a ball and the Maize block M's on his gloves were really visible. I wish I could find the screencap or something from it to show you. I flipped back the DVR to make sure I wasn't hallucinating...

1 year 41 weeks ago The thought of Danny Hope's

The thought of Danny Hope's mustache catching fire made my day. I imagine him running around looking for a tall glass of milk to put out the flames. Then conducting his next press conference sans the ol' soup strainer. Gold, Jerry.

1 year 41 weeks ago Is it weird for a grown man

Is it weird for a grown man like myself to like a college football player I don't even know and am not related to this much? I keep telling myself there's something wrong with me, but man...that kid is something special.

1 year 41 weeks ago It's good to see Wile has a

It's good to see Wile has a good leg, but I wish they'd just go for it instead of kicking the 50 yard FG. I understand if it's 4th and 15 from their 33, but I hate to see the FG team trotting out when it's 4th and 1. DR at QB and MANBALL should be able to get 1 yard. It's better than punting at least. [Insert Mathlete's graphs here]

1 year 41 weeks ago There was a 4th and 1 play

There was a 4th and 1 play for Michigan's O that the chains came out. The refs couldn't tell if it was a first down, so they took a 3x5 card down the pole and slipped it between the ball and the chain pole. 4th down was not converted and ND got the ball back on downs and went on to win the game. Never before or since have I seen refs use a 3x5 card to determine whether or not it was a first down. Forever known as the 3x5 card game.

I haven't been counting, but I think that's 87 straight CtK videos that either feature the Dong Forest prominently or as a backdrop. I want to know the Dong Forest's agent and how the negotiations went to get so much camera time. I bet Blocking Sled and 2-Wheel Ball Shooter are super jealous.

1 year 42 weeks ago Good luck coach. Here's to

Good luck coach. Here's to hoping you land on your feet. I base this next quote from a line from the movie Face-Off (horrible movie, I know), "I'm happy to see you go, but I hate to watch you leave."

1 year 42 weeks ago I believe he and Zeke Pike

I believe he and Zeke Pike were 7on7 teammates and he was after him pretty hard. I had heard rumors of Barnett being homesick (in addition to when Koger mentioned it on CtK). This is too bad really. I thought Barnett could have been a great TE in the new offense. 

1 year 43 weeks ago I disagree. First, we didn't

I disagree. First, we didn't "throw up home run plays every down" as we ran it 70% of the time. Secondly, I think every team from Navy to Hawaii wants to win on 1st down and not leave yourself 3rd and 15. Just because Navy chooses to run and Hawaii chooses to pass doesn't change that fact. The strategy on offense should be to score points and nothing else. "Managing the game" is coachspeak so as to say something without saying anything.

1 year 43 weeks ago So in that game, should our

So in that game, should our offense have slowed things down to keep the score lower? Was it the offense's fault Illinois scored in the 60's because they scored so fast? It's the defense's job to stop the other offense and not our offense's job to keep the other offense off the field. TOP as a strategy is a flawed strategy and I would love to see a team purposefully not score because it wouldn't take enough time off of the clock (end of half/game situations excluded for obvious reasons).
