Does anyone know what was…

Does anyone know what was going on with the timeout after we took a knee at the end of the 4th quarter? I know Bama took their timeout after first down to make us snap it again, but then the broadcast made it look like we took a timeout after kneeling on second down for some reason. Was that a Bama timeout that the broadcast just got wrong, or did our coaches call some sort of phantom timeout?

You say that Mizzou and TN…

You say that Mizzou and TN are overrated and then in the same breath rank PSU at 7… 🧐

What site is this? I refuse to buy tickets from sites that don’t display the all-in price until checkout but TicketIQ is the only one I know that does that. This looks like a different platform than TicketIQ though

Ever since they added Oregon…

Ever since they added Oregon and Washington I’ve been clamoring for the Big Ten to add 2 more and go to a model like this. You could even go to 10 conference games so you could have 1 cross-division game for rivalry protection in years when teams like OSU and UM end up in opposite sides of the league (and have that one game not count toward your team’s actual divisional standing or relegation status). Would be so much fun but would never happen. 

Kris Jenkins is better than…

Kris Jenkins is better than at least 50 players on this list, including Junior Colson :)

Main initial issue I could…

Main initial issue I could see with this model is: Team 1 gets sacked for a 7 yard loss on their first play and then kicks a FG. Team 2 rushes the ball for 4 yards on 1st down and then gets stuck with the tough decision of going for the win or prolonging the game on their second play. Seems to slightly reward the team that went first and ran a bad play.

I definitely think the current OT model has to go though. This game was painful to watch. I like the idea of starting at the 35 so that teams need to at least gain a couple of yards to get into FG range. 

Hate to break it to you but…

Hate to break it to you but Keith Jackson died last year.

He's only been a true member

He's only been a true member of the team for 12 of those games though. I like the price, Saad is getting $6 mil per and I would take Nyquist over Saad right now without question.

I think that more than 3 can

I think that more than 3 can be backdated if the previous class is smaller than 22. It's very complicated and I don't claim to understand it all, but Texas A&M has a class of 30-something coming in after a small class last year and I've heard that they will be backdating more than 3 scholarships. I think the reason that UM could only backdate 3 in the past was stictly due to numbers.

I agree. If your team can't

I agree. If your team can't get a yard running the ball on 3rd and 1, then you don't deserve the first down. I hate it when people call a power run on 3rd and short a bad play call, becuase we pass in short yardage scenarios (ie MSU last year), and people want to hang Borges when that fails too. If the players can't excute a simple short yardage play, then blame them.

Good to have you back RDT.

Good to have you back RDT. Any inside recruiting info is good content in my book, I don't care how "ground breaking" the news is

Why is Taylor Martinez still

Why is Taylor Martinez still considered a good QB? He shredded some terrible defenses on the ground in the first half of his freshman year and hasn't done jack since. 

I don't think many people

I don't think many people were calling 11-2 and a Sugar Bowl win last year... In fact I'm pretty optimistic and I was thinking I'd be ecstatic with 8-4. These rankings don't matter. We were ranked # 4 back when we lost our first game to they-who-must-not-be-named. So don't get all wound up about this stuff, he's just doing his job by giving his opinion.

I would count Bell in that

I would count Bell in that mix as well, so 2 out of 11. Even though he's not the starter at OU, he's a weapon for their offense and someone who appears to have a good shot at replacing Jones when he graduates. 

All of those WVU fans that

All of those WVU fans that are banking on ND joining the SuperBig 12 are delusional. What about the Big 12 is appealing at all to a school like Notre Dame that wants to be independent? Them appalachian folk is spittin' fool's talk.

Denard is making a legacy of his own for 16... And somebody ought to, because they're not going to be printing a Michigan Legend patch for John Navarre any time soon.

What if DB released a statement that read "Rich Rodriguez has been fired and relieved of his head coaching duties at the University of Michigan. After a thorough evaluation of potential successors, we have decided to stay in house with our coaching change and we are promoting our own Greg Robinson to fill the head coaching vacancy. We are looking forward to a bright future with Greg as the leader of our football program. Thanks for your support, and Go Blue!"

I, personally, think hat the

I, personally, think hat the view from the upper bowl is fine. It's obviously not as fun as being close to the court, but you can see the action well and you'll enjoy yourself.

 

The atmosphere, however, is hit-or-miss. If the team is drilling their threes, it'll be rocking. If not, you'll hear a sprinkle of fans of the other team clapping their hands and that's about it.

I neg anyone who says the name Dickrod on this board regardless of whether or not sarcasm is involved. 

 


The resulting logo

 

The resulting logo features contemporary collegiate lettering with an embedded numeral “10” in the word “BIG,” which allows fans to see “BIG” and “10” in a single word.

 

They act as if this is some Earth-shattering revelation. I, personally, think this makes the logo look even stupider. The B10 Ten? Seriously?

It tells us that he hasn't

It tells us that he hasn't signed a contract with a team not named Stanford since 2006

Our 19 year olds will not turn 22 between this season and next. I'm not being pessimistic I'm just saying that a mostly-sophomore defense is still going to make youthful mistakes

you missed out on an opportunity to throw down a haiku here. I was heartbroken when I discovered it was 4-7-4 and not 5-7-5. :(

Bill had a heck of a 3-year

Bill had a heck of a 3-year run as coach WVU. He will not soon be forgotten.

I would be very surprised if

I would be very surprised if we were ranked higher than, say, 22. I would have to believe that we enter the season unranked though unless we astound some people in the bowl game. I like low preseason rankings though, better to be under-the-radar than to be overhyped.

I don't really care about Hayes. I want Watkins, Zettell, Frost, Jernigan, a couple O-linemen, and some DBs

Can we count the other 6,000 yards he picked up while playing football in another dimension during all the TV timeouts?

I don't care who Michigan's

I don't care who Michigan's playing, I'm not scheduling anything on a football Saturday. As an aside, baby seals are cute

I think that we should just

I think that we should just politely ask the other team's coach if he could tell his players not to try to block the kicks so that Gibbons/Broekheisen can (maybe) have a feel-good moment and get himself onto E-60 or some show like that.

Depth will never hurt us.

Good Post

I appreciate your perspective. I've been hating on Cam Newton because he's Denard's competition for chief of staff in Space Emperor's Spread QB department, but it isn't fair to do so until anything is proven. We were pissed about all the negative attention we got from practicegate and it's time we learn from that.

Timmeh

Jernigan's name was officially changed to "Timmy" in the database. Come to Michigan NOW big boy, so I can exclaim "Timmeh!" every time you smack the QB in the Big House.

He's actually pretty big for

He's actually pretty big for his height. I thought I heard he weighed like 200 or something like that which is big considering he's only a 5'10" freshman.  Ed Reed is 5'11" and 200 lbs and he plays in the NFL.

It's unbelievable how little

It's unbelievable how little some football broadcasters know about the sport they cover. The play-by-play guy just called that option-formation with Smith under center "the Wildcat" just because a black guy was taking the snap instead of Sanchez. What a silly, uninformed man.

You should probably stop trying to explain yourself and move on with the little blog-dignity you still have

My only non-football thought of yesterday

I see Lloyd Brady

He's two rows in front of me

This is so awesome

The first thing I noticed was

The first thing I noticed was that the KSU QB was 2 for 5 passing for 9 yards. And they won by 25 points. Not sure I've ever seen such a thing.
