8 hours 3 min ago	Jimmy Howard!	Those Wings fans that thought Jimmy Howard couldn't steal a game disappered almost as fast as the Chicago bandwagon
10 hours 16 min ago	Wait a sec	I thought ESPN was the SEC Network
5 days 17 hours ago	They will	Just not under Matt Mitchell
1 week 18 hours ago	Yep
2 weeks 6 days ago	Just playing devil's advocate	True, but who drafted those young pieces? In fact, Dumars has drafted pretty well considering they've only picked in the top five once since the Darko pick.  And yea, now we can say the Darko pick was a disastor, but at the time Joe D. was a young GM who was just doing what pretty much everyother NBA GM would've done in his shoes. He orchestrated a brilliant trade that cost us nothing in order to pick in that spot, in which he selected a  prospect who the majority of scouts labeled as a "can't miss." He was a project, but with the roster we had at the time we could afford to take a project. Joe D's rebuilding job was set back by Karen Davison who told Dumars she wasn't going to pay for a high profile coach (Johnson) which resulted in the Kuester hire. Joe D. then wanted to hire Woodson, but was over ruled by Gores. Depending on what he does with this cap space, I think Joe could still turn this around
4 weeks 3 days ago	Outrage!	I can't vote for Dan Cleary!?!
4 weeks 3 days ago	Actually this happened in 1908	Herman "Germany" Schaefer of the Detroit Tigers did something like this back in 1908. The story goes that he was on first while another man was on third. The Tigers wanted to steal home by baiting the catcher to throw out a stealing Schaefer. Apparently when they tried this, the catcher held onto the ball, allowing Schaefer to steal second. However, the Tigers wanted to try this again. So naturally Schaefer stole first, then tried to steal second again. Unfortanatley that catcher held on to the ball on all three attempts.
4 weeks 4 days ago	For some reason picture won't post	http://qkme.me/3u12vl
4 weeks 5 days ago	Maybe Big Will has been kicking	It sounds like these guys are good at finding sleepers...at kicker. It seems like that's half of their list.
5 weeks 14 hours ago	Draft record is pretty good	Basically any pick outside of the top five, it's hard to get an impact player. Considering Joe D. has never picked inside the top five since he was a young GM, he's found some pretty good value picks.
5 weeks 4 days ago	Nice!	Also in other news, RCMB is already labeling Harris as the most hated Michigan football player of all-time
5 weeks 6 days ago	Good Gosh	Good gosh Villreal is bad! So much so I'm not even going to spell his name right
6 weeks 1 day ago	True	Then again, that same person probably convinced him to stay for his sophmore season.
6 weeks 4 days ago	I'm predicting lots of jobs will be lost	http://youtu.be/TYU3igQjy4Q
7 weeks 1 day ago	That's true	However the issue is that VCU doesn't play in the toughest basketball conference in the nation.
7 weeks 2 days ago	The dumb stuff	The dumb stuff we did like attempting to rob someone? However I beileve that the great thing about our country is that we have an opportunity for second chances at life. Hopefully he's a changed man
11 weeks 6 days ago	Not that bad	In the past ten years we had the Wings, who are well, the Wings, The Tigers have won two American League Pennants, The Pistons went to seven straight Eastern Conference Finals, including a championship. Yea Michigan was down this decade, but it's not like its been all that bad, I mean a few years ago we were ranked as the number 1 sports town in the US!
12 weeks 2 days ago	My solution	What they should do is move Chicago and Detroit to the East, instead of Columbus. Let the five Blue Jacket fans b*tch all they want.
12 weeks 3 days ago	On his visit	I heard that on his visit, some Alabama co-eds showed him their bra strap, the kid committed on the spot
13 weeks 6 days ago	Old, injured	Who cares, despite his age and recent injury history, he still has a better chance to staty healthy than Delmas. I couldn't even tell you who our other safety is.
14 weeks 17 hours ago	Hookers	Hookers you say? Keep Craig James Away!
16 weeks 2 days ago	I disagree	I like Bielfeldt as well, however he's too small for the NBA. He's only 6'7" EDIT: not fast enough on the draw, beaten to the punch
16 weeks 4 days ago	Lots of choices	I can't decide between Ryan Mallet, Will Cambell, or Justin Turner. All three were highly ranked recruits at positions of need that ultimatly set us back. Mallet: Kid looked like a taller, more accurate version of Sugar Shane. He played pretty good in his one season with us. However, ultimatly him leaving (or Rich Rod forcing him out) forced us to play a Sheridan/Threet, and then a fresman QB. Cambell: Big Will looked like a stud. He was blessed with the size and strength to be something special. He should've turned into stud. Unfortanetly that pad level (or lack of coaching in his first three years).  Turner: Looked like a stud in the Army All American game. I remember a lot of people comparing him to Charles Woodson. Was at a HUGE position of need. Ultimatly he couldn't find any playing time despite the worst secondary in Michigan history. Also, I don't know if anyone established this yet, but Hart never played for Rich Rod.
16 weeks 5 days ago	Tennessee Blogs	I haven't found a lot of chatter on Tennessee blogs about Derrick Green. It seems they've conceided him to Michigan. However, apparently the Vols sent four coaches to visit him this week. http://www.rockytoptalk.com/2013/1/16/3882236/tennessee-recruiting-an-at...
16 weeks 6 days ago	UNC, Duke, Virginia, Georgia Tech	UNC, Duke, Virginia, Georgia Tech, that's who I see them adding. There has already been a lot of speculation in the ACC region about this. I wouldn't be opposed to them adding UNC, Duke, and Virginia. I think the Big Ten also goes hard after Georgia Tech to get the Atlanta market.
16 weeks 6 days ago	Worse	Worse, lets trade him to the Jets. I don't even care if we get anything in return.
17 weeks 2 days ago	Ok	Sweet, thanks for the clarification.
17 weeks 3 days ago	Is that an official rule?	I'm not sure about that. Ganted its D2, but I know schools like Grand Valley, Wayne State, Ferris State, have fewer scholarships to give, so they compensate by breaking up the scholarships and giving out only partial ones. They routinly have classes over 25-27 kids, all of which are receiving some kind of scholarship. Same thing for other sports; I was offered a partial scholarship to run cross country at the D2 level. I don't see how it would be different at the D1 level unless there is a special rule for football, which wouldn't surprise me.
17 weeks 5 days ago	Other celebrity judge	I heard that Te'o's girlfreind is a judge as well
18 weeks 5 days ago	Who are we still pursuing...	Treadwell, Diggs, Diamond, Hart, Parker. There's also some hotshot QB named Terrell Pryor out there. Heard its down to us and Ohio State, although I think he's quite overrated.
