5 weeks 1 day ago my ultra imaginative brain

...thinks the reason why lawrence marshall is not a UM lean because UM is currently high on mcdowell and hand...is that true or am i being arrogant?

5 weeks 1 day ago u will like what u find out...

http://247sports.com/Player/Malik-McDowell-18662/PlayerInstitutionPredictions

8 weeks 1 day ago guys

whenever we have gotten our hopes up....our teams have laid an egg....

i seriously believe that we will end our run in the sweet 16. not bad either way.....

8 weeks 5 days ago damn that hurts

jake ryan ....i feel for you bro...

 

btw...can we get a gif for the play in which he ragdolled the qb to get to the ball carrier?

11 weeks 5 days ago unfortunately

you know i was gonna say yesterday ....

everytime we have had a clear road ahead of us (whether in bball or fball) late in the season we have muddled it up in the last 2-3 years. Just sounds like underconfidence to me....there is no other way to explain it.....btw go ahead and negbang it.

11 weeks 6 days ago greg

any takers for greg robinson? :)

i heard hes coaching the defence of a hs in california....

11 weeks 6 days ago recruiting

since hoke and mattison are already there ....um should focus on getting a great recruiter as Jerry's replacement. One who can get 1-2 elite recruits with him.

Although, this doesnt mean that UM should ignore the coaching ability altogether.

12 weeks 16 hours ago out of state

looks like hoke has taken the midwest centric recruiting to heart.

this year we are seeing more out of state recruits till now...THIS IS MICHIGAN

12 weeks 1 day ago please

can we please please please get dashawn hand..

 

i saw he mentioned talking to mattison and montgomery. i just hope this doesnt reduce his liking of michigan. dashawn hand will be a great piece to the puzzle called national championships here at michigan

hoke ...lets get him!

12 weeks 4 days ago I would like to ...

I would like to see more about the positions where michigan has "fixed" themselves based on recruiting alone...my take on it

OL ....fixed

LB...fixed

RB....fixed

QB....depends on shane morris

WR....not fixed

TE....would be nice to see jake butt do good

DL...not fixed yet ....i hope i am wrong 

DB...i think they still need 1 more elite recruit here

Spl Teams ....dunno

Just to be clear ...fixed means hoke has addressed their needs in terms of recruiting...does not mean that they will definitely be good at those positions. would love to have this as its own post and see what other ppl think.

 

12 weeks 4 days ago hmmm

i had not heard this news before....hope he does ok...i give a 110/100 to him for effort

13 weeks 4 days ago umm

btw who are these guys ...the te is unrated on rivals and kyle is a 4* LB.

is there something that i dont know abt these guys?...wud love to party too...just give me a reason to.

13 weeks 5 days ago dude

@WolverineHistorian:  Dude you do an awesome job!

thanks for all those vids.....considered switching to some other site?

dailymotion...hudl ....something like that

14 weeks 1 day ago well

to people who say that this doesnt matter ....this loss makes big ten championsip that much tougher....?

if this was not an imp game and we lost it in the same way ...i wud be ok.

we shud have fouled .....up by 3 with 2.4 secs left............................................

14 weeks 1 day ago puhleez

i didnt watch the video...and I dont wanna watch it either...

still not over the loss.

14 weeks 2 days ago so... (Score: -1 Flamebait)

dont worry mod...i did the scoring myself. :)

So...based on what i have seen in the last few years...

its very tough to beat even mediocre teams on the road..so in 2013

we get :

@UConn: Win

@PSU: Loss

@MSU: Loss (unless MSU implodes before this game)

@NW: this is the trap game

@Iowa: Loss (its unbelievably tough to go there and win)

Ohio is also a tossup

I think the biggest thing I wanna see from Hoke and his team is mental toughness on the road which is really a big task. Go Blue!

 

15 weeks 2 days ago that was

that was a choke job if there was ever one.

but i still think a loss here will serve mi better in the long run...

need to step up ...go blue!

16 weeks 1 day ago probably

probably hes just doing a background check on hoke before commiting to UM! :)

16 weeks 1 day ago height

did anyone else see him listed as 5 ' 10 ''.

 

all the while i thought he was 6 feet - ish.

makes me respect the man more for qbing michigan at 5 10 for 3 years.

16 weeks 2 days ago Denard

Denard was my fav player 

and he did underachieve in his final year..

16 weeks 4 days ago The road to that #1 spot

The road to that #1 spot is ckear now !!!

 

Just around the corner ....yeah baby

17 weeks 2 days ago #2

we should be #2 and hopefully #1 next week!!

17 weeks 4 days ago why the luck with WRs?

I know treadwell didnt pick michigan because of other reasons...

 

but the thing i am interested to know is whats really stopping elite receivers from coming to michigan.....although i am not an expert ...i see elite WRs not chosing us under 2 regimes now...(although its too early with hoke)

is it because elite WRs are a clan who generally tend to be not that high on academics?

or is there a systemic problem? 

the experts please chime in......

17 weeks 4 days ago to be a technical dick

he was travelling....but it would have been still worth it if he was called....great dunk!

17 weeks 6 days ago I dont remember

seeing an article about the track record of the current offensive coaches when it comes to churning out top class linemen. I hear a lot about mattison and his crew. I am sure the o-lines coach is terrific. Is there any data/article on the relative competence of this off-coaching staff?

18 weeks 6 hours ago great analysis

thats refreshing analysis Seth....Could we get a similar analysis on DTs?...that would be really awesome...

18 weeks 1 day ago Dude

thanks for the advice...

all i am saying is that the hype and the reality are different...if thats too much for kool aid drinkers ...so be it . 

again ...michigan (right now)  is good but not great....deal with it.

18 weeks 1 day ago well

well as i said in another comment...

we shouldnt settle for mediocrity...i am not saying that any freshman should play at an elite level ...but i am not too high on the potential....(except lbers)

 

what I expected was some of this....

1. one or two highlight reel sacks from pipkins ....this would give me hope that he would be elite in the future.

2. one or two plays from the funch against elite competition in which he made them look silly.

3. kalis getting some more playing time towards the end which would signal hes ready to take over next year.....

because this is what we were made to believe from pre season hype.

just playing time doesnt cut it when we are talking about elite players.

18 weeks 1 day ago i think what has happened as

i think what has happened as a fan base is we have become complacent and apologetic...

we have gotten used to mediocrity and greatness is something we dont demand. we need to change ....in our dreams we keep trying to push mediocrity to greatness ...but it falls down eventually...time to call apples as apples

18 weeks 1 day ago the other issue

that i think has not been talked about enough is the lack of any bright points from the 2012 freshman class except at line backer.

with the kind of fanfare the 2012 recruiting class came in ...i expected much better things...i know they are just freshman ...and give them time ...and blah blah....but overall i was dissapointed by the 2012 class till now (except the lb ers)
