20 hours 30 min ago A crappy thought...

What if there is a major violation or two in there, and Smith is trying to get it in before the NCAA's "tougher punishments" go into effect?  It would definitely be a case of "mixed emotions."

20 hours 40 min ago It only takes one..

It would be appropriate if at least one of the violations turned out to be major, and they told us in July. That way, we could have "Christmas in July" to go with all of the sales promotions of the same name.  One can always hope.  

1 day 8 hours ago Other money...

They are going to get shares from everyone else's bowl games, too. Also, the band, cheerleaders, and "school officials" all got free trips to a bowl game, including food and lodging.

I think Michigan did just fine here. But I'll bet the Sugar Bowl did a lot better.

1 day 10 hours ago I agree

User-generated comment helps this blog be one of the best out there, and does a lot of good for the PR number of this blog.  Right now, Google likes "curation-style" blogs, and, with a link or two for source material, these entries would definitely qualify as curation articles.  

This poor guy is working hard to put out content, but will soon have so few points that he won't be able to contribute.  I hope the mods intervene here and give him a few thousand points so he can continue.  

My guess is that with enough constructive criticism, his style will evolve nicely by the time football season comes around.  

Besides, despite the post to the contrary, the old adage still holds true: if you don't like it, don't click on it.  He is putting "101" by each of his posts.  It's not like you could possibly click on one by accident.  

My only suggestion is maybe taking them off of the "diary" portion until more people like his posts.  That way, they don't crowd out some of the content we all know and love.

1 day 10 hours ago Nice...

Posts like "Thad's" really make me miss the old point system.  He certainly would have gotten a lot more than five points.

1 day 10 hours ago More BS

I really detest quotes that insinuate that RR didn't know Ohio was a big game.  He knew; he wouldn't have been hired in the first place if he was that stupid.  It just seems like people can't be happy with the present, and constantly have to harp on someone who isn't here anymore.  

The bottom line: nobody, including Hoke, could have beaten Ohio the previous three years with the roster that RR had.  They were just too young, and got pushed around.  And that doesn't even take into consideration the Sheri-Threet debacle at QB.  It just wasn't gonna happen, plain and simple. 

Another "bottom line:" because of Ohio being caught cheating, the streak of Ohio wins officially ended at six games.  Of those six, LC lost four of them and RR lost two.  Due to the magic of idiocy when comes to "vacating" games instead of forfieting them, Michigan's losing streak officially ended at seven games.  Once again, LC lost four, and RR lost three.  

So, really, one shouldn't shit on RR for everything, despite how "cool" it seems to be right now.  

2 days 18 hours ago Phil would have done better

Phil Jackson was the best at figuring out how to take massive egos and blend them into a unit that plays together.  He was a genius at pushing the right button on the right player at the right time.  

Some may not agree with his hierarchal approach to coaching, where some players are "more equal than others," but you can't argue with his results.  I see what he did as effective, corporate-style management.  He rewarded his top producers with what many see as a "separate set of rules," and dangled them over the heads of those who didn't produce as the classic "carrot."  

Phil Jackson would have had his performers performing, his role players playing their roles, and his bench players enjoying the view.  They might not have won, but he wouldn't have let them fall apart.

And, just so you know, because of the rivalry with the Bulls, I don't even like Phil Jackson, but I will give him his due as one of the best.

2 days 18 hours ago I was more pissed at their team

If Tennessee had shown even a smidgen of competence against Nebraska, the vote wouldn't have been close, and Michigan would have won both polls.  Tennessee could have at least pretended they belonged on the same field as Nebraska.

Tennessee lost, 42-17, in an era when 42 points was a lot, and usually a number that was only amassed against directional schools and other tomato cans.  The only thing that amazes me is that some UT fans actually think Peyton Manning deserved the Heisman.  Manningn proved that the Heisman went to the right player with his "performance" in the Orange Bowl.

3 days 10 hours ago Not I...

I'm gonna have to take the ol' tinfoil hat off for this one.  Stewart went to a job in which he was overwhelmed.  He had to work 100-hour weeks.  Then, he was involved in a bitter power struggle, which, of course, he lost.  

No grand conspiracy here.  This was just too much stress and too old of a heart to take it.  

RIP.

3 days 14 hours ago The internet era

Part of the "problem" is the era in which we live.  Because the internet has made communication so much easier, and hype so much bigger, it's like no player with four stars next to his name has the patience to stay at his original school if he doesn't start his first or second year.

Nowadays, players feel like they are entitled to start the minute they walk on campus.  Then, they get into a snit, transfer, and often end up sitting out a year when they finally would have been playing.
