Another telling Kovacs quote:

Just to follow up, from “Beat Ohio State” to “Beat Ohio” -- is that something you immediate adopted because of your head coach? Is “Ohio State” forbidden?

Kovacs: “That’s what he calls them, so that’s what we call them.” 

Couldn't help to notice he said  "We". And Jordan is telling the truth. Hoke is a true leader and this team is gonna follow him to greatness.

 

 

I noticed

Temple fans wearing "We Aren't" shirts. The most concise message I've seen in awhile.

Stats are great but

I'm actually happy that goals against are down this year. Sure, we have looked flat at times during the winless sreak, but we have also gotten so many bad breaks that tend to even out over the season.  Defense has been stable which is huge and also necessary if we plan on more that just a Division title.

I'm also encouraged that the last streaks of this magnitude (which obviously is over) happened in '02 and '08 and they were longer and we raised the Cup both years. There is no way I doubt my Wings.

We opened with 1998 ND. I was there.

Were shocked by the Irish coming in there ranked #2 in the nation then we went home and got run over by McNabb.

Seven Nation Army- White

Seven Nation Army- White Stripes. Great slow/fast tempo and a Baltimore reference.  The "that ain't what you want to hear , but that's what I'll do" line is a perfect spot for a finger-point.

What Desmond was saying

was that if Denard put up those numbers all year and beat OSU and MSU and won a BCS Bowl game and the Heisman and maybe struck a pose, THEN he would be able to be feel "entitled"? Desmond contradicted himself.  I don't think Bo qualified the statement "no one is bigger than the Michigan program" with any performance exemptions.

In fact if anyone is acting the big-shot, it's Desmond Howard.  It just blows my mind he can throw out Denard Robinson's name as an example of what's wrong with college football. Denard is all about what is RIGHT with college football.

Or Rico Blasi

That game 7 was one of mine

That game 7 was one of mine too. Roy got pulled in the game. It was over in the first period.

I have to say 1997 tho, when we finally beat the Avs in a series.... game 6 at home. I drove 300 miles on the spur of the moment and gladly paid $300 bucks to see it.  It was sweet. During warmups Offsprings' Gone Away blared. They played "what a night" by Frankie Valley on the speakers afterward. Even today when I hear those songs it takes me back..Fedorov had a huge game and Vernon stoned em. It was so huge to finally beat the Av's and we swept the finals.

Not to get too deep but

I buy into the theory that difficult times doesn't build character in those who don't live by principles- it reveals their character.  This is true for Tressel and the Buckeye fans that don't see the truth in all this.  I wouldn't expect them to react any different. It's just cool the whole country can now see what I've known for a long time because I live in Ohio and have seen them in action for awhile now.

I love Helm

I love Helm

Jerseys?

We are the higher seed so we are either maize or white.  I'm hoping for maize. Has to be the most spectacular uniform in all of sports. Besides our home football unis anyway.

I agree totally

.......and Melrose says "clearly" an elbow, "easy" call. I'm like wtf??

I really doubt that Denard

I really doubt that Denard even notices, much less feeds off any negativity.

Won't solve pay for play scandals

Some players will have a deeper sense of entitlement than they already have. I think it's human nature, the NCAA legitimizes it and it will be easier to take extra.  It's not for lack of money that the rules are broken , it's lack of morals.

My dog in the last year

My dog in the last year developed an allergy that we tried different thigs on and it turned out to be food. Have to buy the $40 dollar a bag stuff but allergies are gone. Has to be grain-free. Wish I would have tried that first because it would have saved some trips to the vet. Good-luck.

I live in Ohio. Children only

I live in Ohio. Children only understand one thing.The OSU fans in this state need to be put in time-out. Not so much to punish the program or the Institution, but the fans. I'm telling you it's out of control. Any Michigan fan living in this state knows what I mean.

I hope Tressel stays until

I hope Tressel stays until the day he lies his way into getting OSU the death penalty. Once a liar, always a liar. Tressel will be good for OSU football.

And to those who say we need OSU in order to keep our rivalry with them I say Michigan football is much bigger than that rivalry. Screw Ohio State, they get what they deserve and obviously want.

Yesssss

A Buckeye fan who sees the truth. Sarniak is your Ed Martin hopefully. The difference between us and you tho is that we were ashamed by what happened  and fired Fisher without  proof.  You sad people even have the smoking emails and are denying there is a problem.

Since being under center is

Since being under center is something Denard hasn't done in awhile,it makes sense he would practice there.Initially,  I had the same reaction as Brian with the power play manball comments by Hoke, but that will just be one facet of our offense and one that I believe is key in redzone situations and late in a game with a lead.  It's basic. Hoke is concentrating on teaching the basics first, what's wrong with that.

Personally, I think getting Denard away from taking a pounding with 25+ carries is a good thing and will make him even more dangerous late in games and keep him on the field entire games. The pounding he took was taking a toll on his passing game IME, something RR would never admit.

I'm gonna venture to guess that his 6.3 ypc goes up this year.

Last year, dropping back to

Last year, dropping back to pass was like Denard getting to rest from all his carries which I think explains his hesitation to take off. I can't remember how many times there was open field ahead of him and he tried to thread the needle. That won't be happening this year.

We'll see

Kelly could pull out the Buckeye rule and defer it a game.

I never believed in moral victories

The end of the game was so strange with 30 seconds left , within 1 and I KNEW we we were gonna win. Then when we didn't win it sorta kinda felt like we didnt lose. I have never felt the pride for a team that has lost (well put Brian: numerically) a game before. Maybe somewhere in my subconcious I knew the moral victory was in the bag in that last minute of the game.

I've got to say, Brian's post today has to be my all-time favorite. You nailed it Brian- well done.

Timing

There's no way we slide under the radar on Sunday. We have got Duke's full attention thanks to all this crap and they would love to pummel us, not that they will but they are entirely capable. Thanks again Fab Five. 

The Doc was good and I understand what Jalen was getting at that it was all in the past, but Jimmy King's "99 problems...." tweet seems like it was antagonistic . Please Fab's....  let it rest for the sake of this current  M anti-Fab team that has a huge order on Sunday. It's gonna be hard enough.

I'm not here for your

I'm not here for your "original thoughts"- your little slants on human nature. I want facts. Wading through  your "original" thoughts is much more irritating than a double post to a link. And at least the OP here doesnt spew the resentment and divisiveness that you do. 

I find good-faith mistakes much less damaging on here than a calculated attack on someone who may being trying to lend some moral support to a fellow fan of Michigan athletics who provided a link and not his thesis on life.

 

 

Wow. Kerr said it...

Wow. Kerr said it... Sullinger "bulls" his way to the basket. No shit.

How is it possible for

How is it possible for Sullinger to play this whole game as physical as he is and only commit 1 foul?    He's good  but this is just complete bullshit.

Or...

"get the fuck off my field"

The lid could blow off this thing

Speaking of Ed Martin, if that Riffe character gets a lawyer (not local) to file charges on Cicero then we will really see some fireworks as the subpeonas will fly and we will maybe find out what Gee meant when he said this:   

Gee said he asked Tressel, "questions none of you (reporters) would dare ask ... to make sure there was no kind of smoking gun." 

 

 

Hoke is a smart man
  • He is aware of the basketball team's bubble status
  • A shady character is head of the selection committee
Gee's "smoking gun" comment

Right now its just a coach coverng  up for his boyz. This comment by Gee makes me think it involves more.....Gee said he asked Tressel, "questions none of you (reporters) would dare ask ... to make sure there was no kind of smoking gun."   

The truth is, they were questions the reporters weren't allowed to ask. Like the forwarding question.

I think the strategy is to lie and let the chips fall where they may because OSU can keep it in-house and the NCAA will not dig too deep. The only risk is that tOSU may have underestimated the fact that the NCAA does not have subpeona power but they adversely have latitude in burden of proof.  They can assume things. Like... these dudes are trying to play us.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Horrribly written story

Examine yourself Mr. Lacy, one sentence paragraphs make for a tough read.  Should have put a bullet in front of each sentence. These rag writers are hacks.  Having said that, I hope the kid (Legion) turns his life around.

NBA fans

NBA fans seem to be fans of players, not teams. Guess we can thank MJ for that. That's more like WWE and Nascar and a very unstable foundation.  The NHL is the greatest sport because of team loyalties and not to get off topic but the way the league tries to force Crosby and Ovi down fans throats ( just go to NHL.com to see it)  makes me sick and is very NBAish. Go Wings.
