| 1 year 39 weeks ago | It changes things... |
We can complain about whatever we want, it means little if anything at all. The point is that things have changed, this is a point of fact not conjecture. No matter how they configure the divisions and no matter how they try to schedule the Michigan-OSU game, it will not be the same any longer. It used to be "the game" decided the Big Ten title, and therefore it was significant is many ways. Now, it's simply going to be one game among many with an emotional attachment. If Michigan plays OSU twice in a given year, it will weaken the appeal of "the game." This is not to say that the hatred will not be there for both games, it will lose that extra something. If it doesn' change any thing for you, then great. However, for many of us who do look for the special game at the end of the schedule for all of the marbles, it will not be the same. IMO |
| 1 year 39 weeks ago | Coach needs to get mad |
I'd give twenty bucks to see Coach RR get mad and chew the media, refs, players and every that moves a new ass whole. He needs to give up this Mr. Nice guy being politically correct and crying in front of the cameras thing. If he'd cuss a few folks out and told them where to go, maybe the team would pick up on it and get a little tougher themselves. |
| 1 year 39 weeks ago | Things Have Changed...Get Used to It!!! |
This is a new era for the Big Ten, it will never be the same again. The days of three yards and a cloud of dust, the days of the Michigan vs. Ohio State game being "the" game to decide the BT championship has changed with the addition of Nebraska and two separate division. Money has become the priority of the conference and no matter how we squak about it, we better get used to the thought that this is not our daddies conference anymore. If we have to play OSU twice, it changes the dynamic of the meaning of "the game." If we don't play them for a given year, it does the same thing. Get used to it...as of now things have changed permanently. |
| 1 year 39 weeks ago | Still Hopeful |
I believe this years team though young, will be a shadow of a John Beilein team. He is molding this group into what we have seen at WVU but hopefully even better because of better players. I am still encouraged and excited. This european trip with extra practices and games should help this young group get a jump start on the season, maybe even surprise a couple of teams. Hopefully! |
| 1 year 39 weeks ago | Young CB's will fair ok considering... |
This is college football, not the pros. We've seen freshman QB's, RB's and DB's play and do well. Teams with great depth have the luxury simply replacing the injured with the next five star player in line. However, we've also seen frehsman/sophomore players step in and do well as long as the rest of the unit is solid. When we look at our defensive coordinator we see a man who has done it all. If anyone can develop a scheme to shore up the weakness in the defensive unit, he can. We know that opponents will key on our young secondary, and this simply means that they have to grow up quickly, but I believe overall they will be okay. Donnovan Warren played as a freshman and did well considering. If Michigan doesn't win the national championship this year, it won't be because of the young CB's. |
| 1 year 39 weeks ago | Is he ready yet? |
If he can handle the pounding at this level and he's in Big Ten football shape [keep in mind that he just came from high school], then he should see significant action. If he can't take the pounding then he will be used sparingly but used more starting next year. I figure if Brandon Minor being a Barwis graduate had difficulty with staying healthy, Hopkins is not a shoe in just yet. |
| 1 year 40 weeks ago | Too early to tell... |
Although possible, it's too early to consider transfering unless it is CLEAR that he has moved from starter to third string in two weeks. He is still a potential starter for this season. Tate may have cried to someone about the competition and that person ran with it, but I wouldn't buy into it until it actually happens. Now with that being said, I don't see Tate as a person who thrives on competition and wouldn't put it past him to transfer in the future if he loses to one of the other QB's. |
| 1 year 41 weeks ago | Another good one |
I'm still trying to get over the loss of Walsh, but I believe Posada is a good get and he has the flexibility to fill in at OG or OT which is a big plus. With the slots filling up rather quickly now is the time to focus on those key two to three OL candidates that we need. |
| 1 year 41 weeks ago | Ohio Graduation Test |
Here is a reference regarding the OGT. You ultimately still maybe correct however, hopefully this will shed some light on the situation: What happens to students who have met all of the curriculum requirements for graduation but do not pass the OGT before their intended date of graduation? Students who have met all of the curriculum requirements for graduation but have not passed all required parts of the OGT before their intended date of graduation will not graduate with their classmates. School districts decide locally whether or not students may participate in graduation ceremonies. Students may continue to take the OGT until they pass all required parts, which would then allow them to earn their diplomas. The first opportunity to take the test after their senior year would be in July during the summer administration of the OGT. Students should contact a school district well in advance of the test dates to learn of the requirements to sit for the test. Students who are eligible may test during any of the testing opportunities throughout the school year – March, July and October. Click here for test dates. |
| 1 year 41 weeks ago | Looks like he's got...ISSUES!!! |
This has got to be a reflection of issues off the field. I'm thinking that those on the inside have an idea what is going on, but we're just seeing the symptoms of the problem. He had difficulty graduating high school. He came into Michiganl a step behind, and he's been behind ever since. Other players, even walk-ons are busting their humps to contribute and JT gave the team nothing. He was considered to be more talented than most of the other CBs but he never took advantage of taking over the position when the opportunity was given to him. I am not saying he's not a good guy, because I don't know him, all I'm saying is, what we saw [or lack of it] is what we got...which is nothing. If he can't handle the pressure of big time college then maybe he should go and give the scholarship to someone else who wants and deserves it. NUFF SAID!!! |
