Borges: Thomas Rawls likely to be "the guy"
AnnArbor.com has Al Borges saying that Rawls is the starter if Fitz misses games. It might not be groundbreaking news but it's unusual that a coach is this candid about players, especially at this point in the season.
"We're just going to the next guy -- we're not really changing anything," Borges said during a news conference at Schembechler Hall. "Thomas Rawls is going to be that next guy. Vince is going to do what he's done, and on we go."
So I take it your starting running back is not going to play? Looks like Robinson is going to have a long day.
Exchanged the "Damn" for boobs I see. Good call!
why do my comments get greyed out?
Because you're a trolling troll who trolls.
And it's going to be your D who will have the long day getting trucked by Thomas Rawls. We're not afraid.
Not really trolling. I was more or less asking a question. It seems you do not have a decent RB after your starter. I am guessing you do not want Robinson running the ball all the time.
You really didn't ask a question, you made an assumption and then made the typical troll comment "looks like (blank) is gonna have a long day!).
A non trolly comment would have sounded like, "who is the back up and how do you think he'll do? Does this mean more carries for Denard?"
This isn't the South, we have rules.
- No boobies for avatars
- You're welcome here, as long as you play nice
- Nick Saban is not an optimal human being
wow really. They were covered by a Crimson Tide Bikini. I thought that might make some friends...lol
Here at Michigan, we have these things called "jobs" with "coworkers" who don't need to see boobies on our computer screens. The woman who sells you Skoal at the truck stop probably doesn't care.
My appologies. Never seen a blog with so many rules
Where can I see this boobies and bikini picture?
a magical place called the internet
No worries. Play nice and so will we.
And by play nice, he means don't have a contrarian opinion outside of Michigan is the greatest thing ever, and opinions that say otherwise are terrible, and the people that make them are retards.
Calling people retards is "not playing nice."
I'm only replying to see how skinny this box will look on the screen.
Carry on.
this is rdt or someone trying to copy him. I will not be fooled twice. The whole "I'm just a bama fan who decided to check out this totally popular and awesome Michigan blog" shtick may have worked here once but not this time kiddo.
Roll tide is right about the rules thing, thats why its the same seven guys posting on here
Mark it zero!!!!
Bruton, best snuff on the market.
As Michigan fans, we are stodgy, boring prudes who complain about the kids on our lawns and the occasional loud cheering from our stadium seatmates. We take no enjoyment from life.
Also, many of us read this blog from workplaces that frown on a certain level of boobishness.
Well I am guessing that reading a blog at work might be frowned upon in most workplaces.
Damn it he has a point..... But you still support Nick Saban so that nullifies any valid point you may make on ony topic.
To be honest I am not a huge fan of his. I like how he wins, but I believe there are some character issues with him. But, in order to win, I feel as if you have to break some unwritten rules.
some written ones too.
Hmmm...claiming to be a 'Bama fan and then dissing Saban is a surefire way to ingratiate yourself with the MGoFanbase.
Agree. Ok, I’m not buyin it. You guys enjoy this lame “wassup” schtick.
Fool me once,… but twice aint happen’ here.
really? We have to go through this again? He likes bama but isn't a fan of saban, thinks they will have their hands full with Denard, thinks Rawls will give them trouble as a power back, just wants to fit in and befriend a "rival" fanbase. I think we've seen this movie play out... HE'S A PHONY!!!!

What exactly happened with RDT? I saw his initial few posts but I don't know how the saga ended. I definitely feel like I'm missing something special here..sooo story?
Rules are rules.
Also, you're picking up a bit more hostility than the average newcomer to the blog because we had someone posing as an Alabama fan (going by the name of RollDamnTide) who was really just another commenter here...it's a long story.
Nevertheless, you're getting negged for something that you didn't do, which isn't especially fair. Play by the rules, though, and you'll find it's a great place to talk football.
Welcome. I sincerely hope you're not another reincarnation of RDT.
Internet browsing is allowed at most jobs so long as it is not offensive and/or excessive. Your avatar falls under the former. No one is really expecting me to look at spreadsheets for 9 straight hours without going mental. You would know this if you actually had a job.
And good lord, down in front! I'm trying to watch the game.
All of our running backs are way beyond decent...
Thisismichiganfergodsake!
It seems you do not have a decent RB after your starter.
Just a word of advice: Being condescending will piss a lot of folks off, not just us northern prudes.
set threshold to -1 and you will be golden
RDT! I'm not buying that innocent tone of yours.
What is RDT? Someone in another thread said that as well
Inside story. Sufficed to say that you do not want to be RDT (aka RollDamnTide).
Ok? I'm guessing you mean my username? Just a friendly Alabama fan. I am not trolling. I just like talking football. Like to get to know our "enemy" if you will
Like BiSB said, you had to be there, but I'll give thoe short and sweet. Like 7 months ago or so, some guy named RollDamnTide started posting. He said he was an Alabama fan, just here to comment, and that he had some recruiting ties. He predicted several 50/50 recruits to Michigan, had a couple hissy fits when people called him for being wrong on almost all of them, and earned adoration from a bunch of people. Eventually in one thread, he accidentally outed himself as another user on the site, the thread is in the MBoardHoF.
So since you show up, with the name RollTide, claiming to be "just an Alabama fan", people aren't going to believe you and think you're just trolling
I, for one, have no inside info on recruiting. I do know we battle Michigan for some recruits and you have won a couple of those "battles". It should be a great matchup on Sept 1.

an off-handed michigan compliment.
Plus he knocked up a couple of the female readership, you forgot that part
He now prefers "Bisbiño".
I was inspired by the Brazilian volleyball team
Who wouldn't be inspired by that?
My favs were the Czech beach team! Love tall, blonde women.
Dutch field hockey is awesome also!
