Date Title Body
27 weeks 2 days ago ...from Fielding Yost to

...from Fielding Yost to Denard Robinson... YOU'RE GODDAM RIGHT I'M LIVING IN THE PAST!"

27 weeks 3 days ago I think the problem...

...lies in Michigan's tendency to gift each opponent 7 points with an early turnover. If PSU can put up 10-14 by themselves, then it comes down to our wobbly offense and undecided game planning. 

This will be a problem whether or not their fans wear white t-shirts.

39 weeks 3 days ago We should probably make sure

We should probably make sure Ruckert has these up-to-date research rankings on hand. I'm sure they'll heavily impact his final decision.

OSU is a recruiting juggernaut right now. These things are going to happen.

 

45 weeks 1 hour ago Can't wait!

The incessant replays of Webber's ill-fated timeout ~25 years ago should provide some fond childhood trauma flashbacks.

45 weeks 3 days ago Gotta choose...

Goota choose Urban for the shot in the crotch, because it gives me a good chance of hitting Dantonio in the face on the same throw.

47 weeks 3 days ago Far from an expert, but...

I've read that they have four Top-100 recruits coming in next year, including a top-10 pitcher and a top-10 infielder. For a sport where you play nine at a time, I'd imagine that's pretty damn good?

2 years 22 weeks ago Talk about putting things in perspective

This is just too much. Merry Christmas Chad. May God be with that family.

2 years 26 weeks ago Precisely. But wait til

Precisely. But wait til he/she is 9, like my current situation...

"Geez, what was that?? He dropped the ball? I could catch the ball. See? See?? I caught the ball, Dad. Maybe I should play for Michigan, Dad!"

"Dad?"

"Mom, why isn't he moving?"

 

 

2 years 26 weeks ago I mean, you're obviously

I mean, you're obviously right about not getting carried away, etc. but it's only been an hour. People need to vent. It;s his teammates I feel bad for right now more so than O'Neill.

And while I don't wish any ill will on the kid, I'm willing to bet you're wrong about "none of us..." I think a number of posters on this board could've caught that snap. Or took a knee. Or spiked the ball. Or done anything other than... exactly what he did.

 

3 years 2 weeks ago The Fab 5 was the start of my

The Fab 5 was the start of my Michigan fandom. In one calendar year, Desmond hit the Heisman pose in the end zone, and those kids became the story of college hoops. I was a bandwagon jumper as a kid; without them, i might've been a lifelong Miami Hurricanes fan.

So yeah, I'm pretty glad the Fab 5 happened.

3 years 13 weeks ago Here's the big problem for

Here's the big problem for me:

PSU FANS, 19??-2010: "JoePa IS Penn State! No one walks, talks, breathes or works in this town without his permission. He is BIGGER than the university, because he has success WITH honor!"

PSU FANS, 2011-present: "He's an old man! He's just the football coach! What was he supposed to do??"

3 years 13 weeks ago I guess I just don't get it.

I guess I just don't get it. Such a scandal is unthinkable at any school, so I'll just use the Fab Five as an example... I could really care less that they took the wins/Final Four appearances away. I saw them happen with my own eyes, they can't take away the memories. 

And whatever you think of Webber et al, let's all agree it's a small fraction of what went down at PSU.

Why would they fight so hard about this, keeping the story in the spotlight for a longer period of time? It's not like Paterno's able to appreciate their "loyalty."

Does restoring the victories somehow restore the reputation in their eyes? If so... i don't even know what to say.

3 years 13 weeks ago Never Forget...

...the REAL victims in all of this are the Paterno family and PSu football fans.

3 years 29 weeks ago SHOCKING!!

I am SHOCKED... SHOCKED, I tell you... that hiring a head coach with a sub-.500 record at Ball State and San Diego State has led us to anything short of the promised land!

4 years 2 weeks ago This is plenty disappointing

This is plenty disappointing without invoking football.

4 years 8 weeks ago I scored a 45. Higher than

I scored a 45. Higher than Eric Decker, I'm told.

I win the Wonderlic. He wins on looks, athletic ability, salary, and hot country star wife.

It's a push... right?

As a hip-hop fan in the 90s, I'm going to find it just about impossible to root against this kid.

4 years 18 weeks ago A&M goes to Chick-Fil-A vs.

A&M goes to Chick-Fil-A vs. Duke.

UGA it is I guess.

4 years 20 weeks ago In a perfect world we would

In a perfect world we would be the same program that we were in the 1970s.  

Coach Hoke? Is that you??

4 years 20 weeks ago I feel like the

I feel like the tried-but-true "PAIN" is a very realistic prediction for tomorrow.

4 years 21 weeks ago This will NOT be 2009 all

This will NOT be 2009 all over again. 

As I recall, we were in that game until the 4th quarter.

The only thing left unsettled by the 4th quarter will be whether Urban STOPS at "half-a-hundred."

Seriously, is Gardner even going to play??

4 years 21 weeks ago Meanwhile...

Rich Rodriguez's Arizona team takes a 14-3 lead to the 2nd quarter vs. Oregon.

Not a joke.

 

4 years 21 weeks ago Here are some jokes for

Here are some jokes for you:

-beating Michigan next week will likely lower Ohio State's chances at a national title. 

-Michigan is looking up at iowa and Minnesota in the standings. Not to mention Sparty. They've also lost to the Artists Formerly Known as Penn State.

-The Brady Hoke Era.

 

 

4 years 21 weeks ago Thank God it isn't football.

Thank God it isn't football.

4 years 22 weeks ago Yeah...

I'm a little surprised, but then I think about this logically, and I'm not. At all.

Nonetheless, cue the "ESS EEE CEE PAYS PLAYERS LOLOLOL!!" apologists.

 

4 years 23 weeks ago Sure

Sure, it saves the season. Just like switching o-lines with Alabama would save the season.

I'll leave it up to you to determine which is more likely.

 

4 years 23 weeks ago So what does it take?

What will lead to some changes? A 6-6 finish? (very possible IMO) Urban and the boys hanging "half-a-hundred" in a few weeks? I'm honestly curious... up until yesterday, I agreed with Brian's stance that nothing would change, but now...  

4 years 24 weeks ago "He's a young guy"

Perspective:

Lewan is 10 days older than Gholston, meaning he was a full two years older than Gholston when he pulled an identical stunt to the one Gholston pulled in 2011. So any "he's young and made a mistake" rationale better have been granted to Gholston--perhaps more so--two years ago.

Suspend him for the next game. Period.

As far as anything else connected to yesterday/this rivalry... time to call it like it is. The tide has turned. MSU has the better program, evidence by their vastly superior preparation for yesterday's game (how scary is it to think we had a bye week before this one?!?) This has become an annual narrative. Could it change with the influx of Michigan recruiting? Possibly, but I'm not holding my breath as long as the current staff is in command.
