Dave Brandon Question Suggestions
2006 would like to debate you on your claim of "other than 2000-2010"

Don't get me wrong, there were many great moments 2000 - 2010. 2006 among the best. But the overall decade saw a slight decline from being a perennial power house.
Not to pick on 2006, but a closer look at the results shows Michigan beat one nationally ranked team all year. Notre Dame. Who although ranked #2 at the time, finished the year ranked 17th. Notre Dame suffered a similar fate that year, they had a good record, but all of their wins came against unranked teams and all of their losses came to ranked teams (all by 20 points or more), except for #19 Purdue.

Nice job, Phil. I picture you and your buddies sitting around, giggling uncontrollably over your witty post.

When Snyder insisted(repeatedly) that he roots for MSU when they are not playing Michigan, did Darius really tell him to GTFO of his locker room?

I'd like to think our hoops program has reached a point at which we don't have to root against Sparty in all non-U-M games to feel better about ourselves.
I'll admit that jealousy may be a factor in my disdain for MSU hoops/Izzo. Along with acceptance that Izzo currently enjoys a recruiting advantage based on a decade of success, media darlingism, and nearly non-existant academic standards. You can be as proud/arrogant as you want. When Michigan wants to become GREAT...When they want to become a team who is FAVORED over Duke and Kansas...Michigan is going to have to start winning recruiting battles in its backyard. For that to happen MSU is going to have to take a step back(and yes, there is already blood in the water in that regard). If you choose to ignore this fact, bully for you. Enjoy your arrogant self-righteousness.
Or how about:
Are you looking forward the effects of railroading the offense again?
Or to that effect, looking forward to seeing a non vomit-inducing defense put on the field?
When you're with Mark Hollis and Gene Smith, do you feel like an elementary school teacher talking to a couple of students?

Did you enjoy a sense of power when you let Rich Rod twist in the wind all of last year? Why did you stretch his firing into a two day process while the media ran with misinformation? Was your national coaching search fun? If you knew you would end up with Hoke would you still have fired Rich Rod?

Are you committed to keeping Michigan Stadium vendor agnostic and advertising free?

Why is your head so big?

In your own words could you please define it for us youngsters?

<br>Second, is the Carrtel under control now that they have their guy? Stamped and improved!

<br>Lastly, how's the book coming? Anxious to read the "Jimmy left me hangin" chapter.
