2 weeks 1 day ago	Can't wait!	The incessant replays of Webber's ill-fated timeout ~25 years ago should provide some fond childhood trauma flashbacks.
2 weeks 4 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.
4 weeks 4 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?
1 year 31 weeks ago	Talk about putting things in perspective	This is just too much. Merry Christmas Chad. May God be with that family.
1 year 35 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?"
1 year 35 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.
2 years 12 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.
2 years 22 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??"
2 years 22 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.
2 years 22 weeks ago	Never Forget...	...the REAL victims in all of this are the Paterno family and PSu football fans.
2 years 38 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!
3 years 12 weeks ago	This is plenty disappointing	This is plenty disappointing without invoking football.
3 years 17 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?
3 years 27 weeks ago	As a hip-hop fan in the 90s,	As a hip-hop fan in the 90s, I'm going to find it just about impossible to root against this kid.
3 years 28 weeks ago	A&M goes to Chick-Fil-A vs.	A&M goes to Chick-Fil-A vs. Duke. UGA it is I guess.
3 years 29 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??
3 years 29 weeks ago	I feel like the	I feel like the tried-but-true "PAIN" is a very realistic prediction for tomorrow.
3 years 30 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??
3 years 30 weeks ago	Meanwhile...	Rich Rodriguez's Arizona team takes a 14-3 lead to the 2nd quarter vs. Oregon. Not a joke.
3 years 30 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.
3 years 30 weeks ago	Thank God it isn't football.	Thank God it isn't football.
3 years 31 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.
3 years 32 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.
3 years 32 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...
3 years 33 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.
4 years 4 weeks ago	To paraphrase Lou Brown from	To paraphrase Lou Brown from Major League: "I think you can go get her now..."
4 years 23 weeks ago	Do You Believe in Miracles??	YES!!
4 years 24 weeks ago	Excellent	Bittersweet, knowing that I've seen the last of what I believe will be the most exciting Michigan player of our lifetimes.
4 years 29 weeks ago	Professionalism	Professionalism is one thing, yes. But I think you'd be hard-pressed to find too many businesses (non-essential personnel, etc.) who'd be less than understanding if employees were reluctant to come into work the day after an employee shot and killed himself on company grounds in front of two organizational leaders. Not to mention the camaraderie and unity required to 'work' in professional football. This guy was a starter... um, imagine being told "hey so-and-so, you're starting tomorrow" under these circumstances. Hard to prepare--this isn't exactly a tweaked hamstring.  Then again, I'm fully aware we're talking about the NFL here.
4 years 29 weeks ago	Reports....	Reports say Jovan Belcher, undrafted LB out of Maine, killed girlfriend then drove to practice facility where he fatally shot himself.
