One recruit wouldn't be happy:

So one recruit might be de-committing and it's time to fire our AD?  C'mon now.  Have a little faith.  Trust in what he is doing.  

Also, Brandon was doing what any AD would do regards to the game; he tried to soften the blow.  I honestly think he was also trying to indirectly show the Big Ten how much this meant to both Universities and how upset people would get.  I don't think he was advocating moving the game, he was telling people, "Don't be shocked if this happens, it very well could."

I feel like you are wrong that if he wanted Harbaugh he would already be the coach here.  Maybe Harbaugh wants to coach his team in the BCS bowl game he coached them too.  Maybe Brandon is staying true to his word that he is waiting until after the season.

I don't understand how him keeping Rich Rod if we lose the bowl game makes him look weak?  It just means he felt there was enough overall progress and was not basing his decision on one game.

I also don't see how keeping Rich Rod after winning the bowl game would be bad.  Most recruiting is close to being over.  I think most of our high major projects are either committed here or elsewhere.  I don't think there are many of our first choice that we are either are not in a good position for or are already committed here.  

This isn't coach for your job with the bowl game.  Brandon is looking at the entire season, not this one game, to come to his decision.  If Brandon does not think there has been enough progress, then he will fire him.  This is Brandon sticking to his word and what he wants to do.  I'm sure Brandon is leaning one way or the other, and I think although this game could potentially sway his decision, I think he is sticking to what he said and going to judge based off of the entire season as a whole, bowl game included.  

I don't know why you think Harbaugh will pick up and leave immediately, maybe he wants to finish his season with his team.  And honestly the transfer from spread to pro style is much easier than pro to spread, so I do not think the recruiting is a big deal.  Honestly the only player I think that would be effected by this would be Sousa.  

We get to have another "Sometimes When You're On" hype video next season!

Wait are your trying to be funny?

No it just wasn't funny...

Your probably better off not posting things for awhile, you're just going to get negged.

Is the Big Chill a plausible day for the visit to happen?  I would assume the playoffs would be well done by that time, and it seems like it would be a great atmosphere, especially with a big basketball game (vs. Utah) the night before.

Your just jealous he's moving to New York and your stuck in Wyoming. 

His UofM is one of two flat-bills, and it's flatter than Cal's.  Gotta be us!

I really wish people would stop posting Meta: whatever dumb shit their asking about.  Quit using Meta.  Just put the topic.

HAIL YES MOTHERFUCKERS! HAIL YES!!!!!!!!!

Antoine Dodson music clip?

Please enlighten us on what is truly important oh great one!

There's a liveblog for all this...

tl;dr

Gopher Pirates?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Yes Please!

But in all seriousness, Id rather they didn't.  Our secondary really does need that.

You really needed to post a a new thread for this same crap as the other ones?

no one cares go away please!

no one cares go away please!

Why is everyone disregarding the fact that the visitor is from the South?  Ohio is not the South.

Im so glad you posted this!  No one has talked about this at all today, and I'm glad you brought it up.  You tell ESPN man, you tell 'em!  

ESPN decides the Heisman, and the rest of the season doesnt really matter, so we shouldnt allow them to decide it!  Dont let them them win!

tl;dr

I didn't get into to Uofm out of high school, and I'm looking at transferring. I'm a freshmen at central, with 18 credits my first semester (five classes plus 3 ap from high school). Any advice on applying to uofm? maybe if they prefer you taking certain classes? I checked the uofm website and all but one of my classes transfer. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

What Michigan player is on the Seahawks?

Its big because Im sick of pride comes before the fall and all that gibberish, and I want MSU to die a slow painful death.  I think I want a last second win because then I want them to suffer.  I hate them and want them to be heartbroken (not literally, no heart attacks again).

Because he already has the Doak Walker wrapped up, and they dont want him sweeping that, the O'Brien, Maxwell, and the Heisman.

Text Rotel Now!!!!!

Leave him alone.  He is the best.  I will always pos you as long as you exist!!!!!!!!!

Bronco!!!!!!!!!

I for some reason have a bad feeling about this.  I dont know why, I just do.

Harvin burns some random guy unsurprisingly. 

Vikings shooting themselves in the foot.  D got bailed out on a couple of penalties. 

He did switch hands.

Garret Rivas and Hayden Epstein come to mind as good consistent kickers.

Craig Robow?  I love him calling out the D.  Obvious leader.

Not that this topic has been discussed anywhere before COUGH http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/dantonio-stable-after-heart-related-matter COUGH

but I mean he was actually smiling after the game, so that means there was some happiness.  Plus, I would probably be short, because Id rather be celebrating with my team and family instead of talking to a sideline reporter.

Yea it would, but personally I'd be freaked out.  Especially if a bunch of middle aged facebook users friended me and constantly wrote on my wall that I should go to a certain college even though they dont know me.

Please don't assume victories. 

"I have 2 tickets to the WTKA Bud Light Victors lounge tomorrow morning.  This includes Free tailgate buffet from Damon's and as the title describes Bud and Bud Light (doors open at 8AM, no admittance after 11AM).  1st person to come into Moe's tonight and buy one of Phil Brabb''s Dominate shirts gets the tickets(ask for Dustin), if no-one redeems by 9PM, I will do another post to let you know and whoever can be at Moe's at 745AM tomorrow gets them."

I dont know about bad but it certainly doesn't make you much of a man.

This is fansurd.

He's actually not playing us.  We arent mentioned at all.  

Wait what happened to Wildcat Liberation Army?????

I know some people that go to MSU and this popped on my news feed:

http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=101341909930465

"In response to what was perhaps the corniest Facebook event ever created, and the A-Hole that it was made to honor, this event is to top those douchebags down the road in Ann Arbor and to honor a REAL quarterback. So as the ND game approaches this weekend wear your coolest kicks around campus with the shoelaces TIED in honor of our great #8, Captain Kirk, and show the world, ESPECIALLY ANN ARBOR, that in East Lansing they TEACH US HOW TO TIE OUR SHOES."

catch the fucking ball.

Tacopants is very disgruntled on the sidelines.  Did not cheer after either touchdown and has two towels over his head without his helmet.  Was seen smirking after ND scored.

I feel like it would make a good MGoShirt similar to the Queme los barcos.

cuz its the fucking shit dude.  no other reason.

What wrong with remembering 9/11 with a special jersey?  So what if it looks bad?  One game with alterations to the jerseys for a cause like this is probably more important than whether we like how they look or not.

The caption for the photo should be made into one of those motivational posters like this one:

Brandon said recently both teams are discussing but no agreement has been reached.

Thank you times a million MGoPoints, can't wait for the defense one, as well as the ND offense.

Also really pumped for the UFR's this week.

Go Blue!!!!!

ahahahhahahaha IU-MSU.   

I had some family members go to the 2008 game, and they said Notre Dame fans are some of the nicest they've encountered for opposing fans. Very helpful and respectful.

In my uneducated opinion, I think Herron was kind of a tweener.  I think he was not big enough for defensive end, but too slow for linebacker.  I'm guessing he's probably backing up Roh, or at least is at that position.

Looks like a cool shirt, but I think Six Zero could make a better one.

even though I'm at CMU, I'll almost positively be going to the UConn game, 100% sure going to the MSU game, and 90% sure going to one more, but which game is yet to be determined.

Is this it?:

I hope the attempt gets blocked and Danny Hope loses his shit.

I liked where the band used to be located, in the opposite side of the endzone.  It was easier for more people to hear them.  Im in Section 22 and it can be hard to hear them completely sometimes during games.

Other than not being able to always hear them, no complaints at all.  And the hearing thing isn't their fault, more of the location.

Since when is confidence/borderline cockiness odd?  Id rather him say he doesnt get nervous than him saying I was scared shitless and incredibly nervous.

Im sure the coaches are allowed to be aware of what's going on, they just can't act on it. 

"But from talking to some of the players and some of the guys    I had the seniors over at my house this past week. We've got a small senior class, which a lot of times is a concern because you want a lot    if you have a big senior class, a lot of leads, you feel good.

But our small senior class of 15, 16 guys I think are a great group. They understand what it's like to be at Michigan. They're hungry. They're going to do a great job at leadership.

Talking to those guys they really feel excited about what went on this summer. I thought they did a great job of leadership. They thought some of the guys you mentioned like Cam really prepared themselves well."

Id be happy with not giving up some many big plays.  Like 85 yard touchdown runs, and conversions of 3rd and more than 8.  I think this defense can do well to improve in the run game.

its two topics down on the front page board.

It seems every possible thing about Rich Rod and the spread that could be portrayed as negative were amplified by anti Rich Rod people (bad recruting, small and ineffective O-Lineman, receivers become useless, etc.).  That seemed to then spread to the uneducated fanbase, who now spew it out to everyone else.

Hopefully the other members of the secondary can step up, and Woolfolk can continue to build on last year.  He was improving every game towards the end of the season last year, wish him nothing but the best. 

Its great to see things like this (the cereal and O ban) from our players, love them speaking up about the rivalry.

Go Blue!!!!!

That's neither sneaky enough or good enough at hiding for this job.  You'll just have to wait until at the latest when practice starts to find out the numbers.

"Delany said he's spoken to representatives from potential host sites and Chicago is in the running. But he's not sure he'll have time in the next four months to make visits. The conference could choose one for the first game and then tour venues in the spring."

on divisions:

"The conference now has to figure out how to align into two six-team divisions while maintaining long-standing rivalries, like Michigan-Ohio State. Delany hopes to have that resolved in the next 30 to 45 days.

While geography will be considered, it's not the top priority. Competitive balance and rivalries trump that.

"I don't know that we'll be able to preserve every trophy game or every rivalry game, but I can tell you that we're going to go through great lengths to make sure the traditions and the rivalries are respected," Delany said. "I've seen other expansions where you expand your conference, you don't increase the number of games and play each other less."

more expansion?:

"Further expansion remains a possibility, although Delany said the Big Ten "is not actively involved" at the moment. He said the league will probably decide in December whether to look into it again."

I really like the way blogging has evolved.  Its nice to see especially since the newspapers have declined.
