4 weeks 6 days ago	Arkansas & Va Tech	If MSU and OSU are both going to be away in even years and home in odd years, it's nice that Arkansas and Va Tech are both at home in even years.  So if the schedule stays this way our home schedule will include: 2018 - Arkansas, PSU 2019 - MSU, OSU 2020 - Va Tech, PSU 2021 - MSU, OSU Not ideal, but I like the idea of having the marquee non-conference game at home in the off years from MSU and OSU.
38 weeks 4 days ago	Agree	I think the 2010 version was even better put together and had a more positive moments to choose from.  2009 was obviously the original, but I think in this case the sequel was even better than the original.  Both pretty amazing.
41 weeks 5 hours ago	Just donated	Just donated.  So glad to see him working on this and the Michigan community supporting it.  I really hope it takes off.  Odoms is a credit to the University and the football program.
42 weeks 4 days ago	James Ross	Looked like James Ross was running with the first team in a few of those clips.  Wouldn't be surprised to see him end up starting at WILL at some point this season.
1 year 9 weeks ago	Depth	Their depth will get better this fall when they get Tyler O'Connor on campus.  Will be essentially the same as ours was last year, with a starter, a second string sophomore, and a true fresman.   Doesn't sound too serious, but they definitely want him to get as many snaps with those new receivers as possible.  I'll be really interested to watch their passing attack early in the fall.
1 year 9 weeks ago	Terrible	Wish him and his family the absolute best.
1 year 9 weeks ago	Wow	I think that makes ESPN the highest on our class of all the services.  Amazing to have 15 four stars, including 11 in the 150.  I'm sure someone will find some reason to complain, but I can't see any.  Love seeing them so high on Conley.  He and Lewis are a quality pair of corners in this class.  Also amazing to have all five of our Oline recruits in the top 150.  That's a virtually unheard of Oline haul.   Looking at our rivals, OSU will certainly have a quality class and MSU seems unlikely to have any 150 players.  But their three best recruits (Powell, Reschke, and Jones) don't seem to have been rated yet.  I don't think they'll be in the 150, but any of the three could be a four star and it wouldn't surprise me. Love this class.
1 year 15 weeks ago	Guesses	I'd guess McCray, Gedeon, and Conley.  Still don't think Isaac pulls the trigger until after he visits USC, but we'll see.  Man, recruiting's going to be pretty boring again next fall.  But that's a good problem.
1 year 15 weeks ago	Hope so	Seems likely considering MSU and OSU are 2 seeds at the moment.
1 year 17 weeks ago	Agreed	We're in the hunt to win the conference.  This isn't a storm the court kind of game.  This is an "at least act like you expected to win" kind of game.
1 year 17 weeks ago	Not sure if serious...	Not sure if serious...
1 year 17 weeks ago	Possible	All possible, but I really doubt Clark will ever be big enough for SDE and suspect that Morgan will either move to MLB or get passed by someone more athletic at WLB, with Ross a likely candidate.  Regardless, tons of potential in this defense going forward.
1 year 17 weeks ago	If it weren't for Sparty fans...	I like the idea for the game itself.  It's going to be a huge game next year, could basically determine the Big Ten champion, and would be an amazing environment under the lights. The problem, as has been said above, is that Ann Arbor might not survive an all day into the night visit from drunken STAEE fans.  It would be a disaster, with tons of property damage, drunk driving, and fighting.  Horrible idea.  Have the game at noon or 3:30 and get them the hell out of Ann Arbor asap.
1 year 19 weeks ago	Say anything	I think it's also that he seems to be the ultimate "I will say anything to get you to sign" type of recruiter.  Will tell lots of kids they are his number 1 priority, tells kids he feels God wants him to coach them, makes up dreams he's had about coaching guys so it sounds like their destiny.  Just a pure sleazy salesman type.  Not as flat-out evil as Saban, but sleazy seems like a good word for it.
1 year 20 weeks ago	Why?	Out of curiosity, why is that one okay?  I've seen it on here without it getting shouted down, but wondered why.
1 year 20 weeks ago	Agreed	I agree completely.  "Ohio" and "Sparty" are fine, but obnoxious stuff like Urban "Liar," "Suckeyes," or "Dumbtonio" is no better than "scUM," "cHoke," or "Joke."  We shouldn't sink to their level.
1 year 20 weeks ago	DELETE	Come on, man. This thread should be deleted.   burntorangeblue - You can't go wrong with Potbelly's.  Excellent choice.
1 year 26 weeks ago	Thompson	I seem to recall reading that Thompson was actually being recruited as a corner.  Would make some sense as it seems like he has the speed for it and the coaches have been looking for bigger corners (Standifer's exit notwithstanding).  Would allow him to come in along with another safety prospect.
1 year 27 weeks ago	Norfleet	I would think he'd go after Dennis Norfleet.  If Rodriguez were still here, I would think he'd have been in our class.  Fits the spread perfectly.  And he's only committed to Cincinnati, so you might be able to lure him away to Arizona.
1 year 31 weeks ago	Huh?	Why are you strongly against him coming here?
1 year 31 weeks ago	Right on	100% agreed.  I think we can be welcoming and friendly to the fans and still be loud as hell for the game to create a hostile environment for the team.
1 year 35 weeks ago	Uniforms	I called Dave Brandon's office and left a message registering my disgust with the gimmicky uniforms.  Ridiculous to sink to MSU's level.  If other people feel strongly about it, they should do so as well.  It may not change anything, but it's worth a shot.    The number is:  734-764-9416
1 year 36 weeks ago	Late comment	I know I'm late commenting on this because I just saw it in the dear diary post, but just wanted to say what a great job you did on this.  This is the kind of thing that makes Mgoblog and awesome place to follow Michigan football.  Amazing.
1 year 38 weeks ago	Saturday	Hope we as fans on Saturday can find a way to show our respect and concern.  Maybe by at least not booing Minnesota when they're announced.  This is a tough situation for them and he really does seem like a class act.  Hope he gets his health in order and can continue to coach.
1 year 39 weeks ago	Center	Wouldn't be surprised if Caleb Stacey ended up playing center, with all of our other o-line commits in this class.  He seems a little smaller than the other guys and like a really bright kid who could take on the role of center quite well.
1 year 39 weeks ago	Doubt it	I assume if he commits to us, he cancels those visits.  But if he committed to one of them, he'd still go on that visit but not the other one.  The fact that there are two still scheduled seems like a better sign than if it were only the Tennessee visit. [EDIT:  Slow.]
1 year 39 weeks ago	Okay	But that doesn't make this guy any less wrong.
1 year 39 weeks ago	Idiot	This guy is a fool.  Just because there have been problems at other schools with selling gear, we should never give the players anything they could sell?  That's no way to treat the players.  You have to keep them educated about NCAA compliance, but you can't act like you assume they're all likely to run out and sell everything they're given.  Come on.  This guy probably wouldn't want us to give out Big Ten Championship rings, either.  There's really no difference.  Just a guy trying to find something controversial to write about, but he is COMPLETELY off base.
2 years 1 week ago	Stickers	I think the aversion to the stickers is they look like shit on an otherwise clean, classic helmet.  I understand that there's no reason to hate them from a tradition perspective, since Bo started them, but they destroy the look of the best helmets in college football.
2 years 4 weeks ago	Agreed	The stripes are out of control and the bizarre weasel on the front of the Big Chill jerseys looked absurd.
