NEG UPDATE: New #1

Ha Ha! to Jack Daniels.  I haven't gone near the stuff in almost 18 years as during my freshman year of college my roommate and I decided to conduct an experiment in alcohol and Mike Tyson's punchout.  When we started, we of course were killing Glass Joe and the rest of the contenders.  After killing a 5th of Jack, we were getting TKO'd by Glass Joe and couldn't figure out how he had gotten so fast.

or the digging of a hole, but I must defend this comment. As we all know, Mitch Cumstein was Ty Webb's roommate who got in trouble for night putting with the 15 year old daughter of the dean.

that is not why people are downvoting. There has been disagreements on Mgoblog before. However, when people brought up reasons why Nolan Ulizio at RT wouldnt be a disaster, he responds with " lol whatever helps you sleep at night" instead of actually engaging in a discussion. Magnus can be perceived as negative, but he actually gives rationale for his predictions. 

Yes, that's part of being a part of any kind of blog, you typicaly share common opinions / hopes.I guess it depends on your level of fandon, but yes, some on this board are probably just blind loyalist's and that every year they believe we'll believe undefeated, just like there's other parts of the board that believe that we'll do anything from not win a game to win a national championship.  That's what makes blogs fun that at the end of the day, outside of trolls, you're atleast all fans of the same team even if you have different outlooks.  My issue with swn is when he brings in stupid / naive comments about loving teenagers.  I have a sibling that was affected by that situation, so to joke about, especially given what happened at PSU, is a very immature,irrational, and un-informed comment.  

RT is a problem position, full stop. It's hard for me to believe anyone was not aware of that before tonight if you frequent mgoblog. JBB was OK in one half vs Wisconsin and bad against Rutgers. That's very little to go on. We know almost nothing about Runyan or Ulizio. Before tonight, it was a 2 man battle at RT. Now.perhaps there is a third man, given he's being given some very valuable time with the 1's. The argument is that this is good for depth, having this third guy. What's the worry? That JBB and Runyan have been bad and they're grasping at straws? Could be. But I doubt JBB has regressed from last year. If we peg his probable play as bad, and Ulizio passes him, then he must be less-bad and also beaten out Runyan. And now all of a sudden there's a 3 deep. It's not a great 3 deep, but it's better than a not a great 2 deep. That's worst case. Best case is both JBB and Runyan improved, and Ulizio is passing them. I don't think that's likely, but that would upgrade the potential at the position substantially. Either scenario brings depth. Where does your concern lie? If it's just with the position overall, everybody agrees with you. What is your concern with Ulizio getting first team reps?

I understand the concern that he's in the conversation, given he wasn't a highly ranked recruit and it's a position of concern.  That being said, the coaches recruit these players for a reason and are looking for a specific type of player they can develop. Most years you see lineman that weren't necessarily highly ranked guys in terms of recruiting but coaching developed them and turned them into NFL players.  That's one of the things that Frey was noted for.  If I'm not mistaken, Ulizio's knock wasn't that he didn't have the size or athleticism, but he needed to develop.  Enter great coaches like Frey and Drevno, and if they developed him enough to be in the conversation, worse case it gives the line depth.

You have the same opinion as SWN, yet you're not getting negbombed my the sheeple on this site. What could possibly be the difference between your posting and his/hers?

that's good stuff

Opinion swayed by the majority! Interesting.

Don't worry, we'll get you so you can start the next update on the negbang thread my friend.

Doesn't seem to have actually slowed. She's down an additional 80 points just 15 minutes later. It does seem she's adding more comments so maybe now she's more getting nickel and dimed here and there.
