Chitlin facemask.

Man, I can't help from staring at Gruden's hair here. He's got this front combover to the left. Just buzz it down tight John. You'll shine a little up front but you'll age with dignity.
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:20 PM ^
Thank you sir! Looking for a live web cast if I can find..
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:29 PM ^
I'm in.

Didn't the professor make a shellphone on Gilligan's island?
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:20 PM ^
Luck had 13 touchdowns passes in his first year as a starter. And had 28 this year in his second
Denard had 16 TD passes in his first year. Interesting, telling or both?
January 3rd, 2011 at 9:10 PM ^
But I hear you that his numbers should go up next season. Hopefully picks go down.
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:26 PM ^
If Harbaugh does not come to UM, what about Bud Foster as a possible candidate? He has been on the head coaching radar for a long time and is a smash-mouth defensive minded coach. Thoughts?
Edit: I realize he is not a Michigan man and has no ties to UM. Just want to see what others think about it...
January 3rd, 2011 at 9:22 PM ^
I think he'd be great. But he seems pretty content in Blacksburg.
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:28 PM ^
So proud of Jim and excited to see what he has accomplished with that program. I swear I would have wrote this same thing if we were 9-3 and worrying more about a new DC.
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:29 PM ^
I understand the point of doing helmet stickers, but I really hope Haubaugh decides to do away with that practice if he comes here. The helmets became infinitely better when Lloyd got rid of them.
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:38 PM ^
no need to accent the best helmets in football.
January 3rd, 2011 at 9:09 PM ^
and makes the players, the team better, by all means, bring them back!
January 3rd, 2011 at 11:17 PM ^
put gold stars in our assignment books. We could take it home and show mom, and it didn't mess up our hair.
January 3rd, 2011 at 9:45 PM ^
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:38 PM ^
WTF is up with Tech's helmets? They look like pumpkins!
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:38 PM ^
Why does VT look like Syracuse from afar?
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:46 PM ^
Be happy they don't have ProCombat or whatever garbage they pulled out for rivalry games that made tOSU look like Rutgers. But I'm glad others shared my first impression of this game.
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:48 PM ^
Those Halloween jerseys were horrible. Black plus fading orange to red to maroon looked like some 12 year old tried to design black out jerseys with flames.
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:38 PM ^
The irritable bowel face...! Must be the 10 NFL offers to choose from.
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:40 PM ^
Was that an Asian Thing 2?
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:41 PM ^
I only caught a glimpse but you are dead on. More of that guy, now please.
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:40 PM ^
I took Va Tech +4
I feel like I'm watching an LSU, Cal or Wake Forest game and its October 2007 all over again
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:55 PM ^
On a personal note, I'm supposed to be working on our family's finances right now. If I make a mistake because I'm triple-tasking (watching game, blogging, and doing finances) and Harbaugh is hired at Michigan, can I lodge a claim with him and/or the university to pay for any shortfall I experience due to taking my attention away from where it should be?

January 3rd, 2011 at 8:50 PM ^
are they?
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:51 PM ^
Stanford with a 3-3-5 look on 3rd down.... doesn't Harbaugh know that can't work in BIG TEN FOOTBAW?

January 3rd, 2011 at 9:05 PM ^
A couple more years and we will be there.
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:51 PM ^
Seem to be some empty seats there. But I guess without them it wouldn't be a sportign event in Miami.
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:52 PM ^
wow that stanford cheerleader was horrendous.
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:56 PM ^
Which one?
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:59 PM ^
you may have missed it, they cut away quickly
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:53 PM ^
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:55 PM ^
I believe he still lives in A2
January 3rd, 2011 at 9:07 PM ^
January 3rd, 2011 at 9:24 PM ^
He lives in Ann Arbor, he's not from there. But his wife is from the area, so a happy household...
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:55 PM ^
I guess it's a bowl game and all but why not pull that fake out later?
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:57 PM ^
running a three man front imagine that they get pressure on that big Stanford line pro style off
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:58 PM ^
Is there a reason bud foster doesn't get discussed for head coaching jobs? the guy has done an incredible job for a long time at VaTech and has expressed interest in a a few HC jobs...
January 3rd, 2011 at 9:03 PM ^
That's a really good question. There's just been so many mid Major coaches to poach possibly? VT's had great defenses or a while, I'd be more inclined to take Kirby Smart, but this man needs a shot.
January 3rd, 2011 at 9:11 PM ^
I wonder if SEC coaches buy into the hype as much the fans? As if being a coach in the SEC is better than being head coach at Michigan? That sounded stupid as I typed it..
January 3rd, 2011 at 9:02 PM ^
Well that looked easy.
January 3rd, 2011 at 9:03 PM ^
The crowd goes wild! Must be those Cleveland Browns-esque VT helmets. Bad karma.
January 3rd, 2011 at 9:03 PM ^
January 3rd, 2011 at 9:07 PM ^
I thought that same thing when I heard it. Whew. We endured a rough season of Michigan football on defense, that's for sure!
January 3rd, 2011 at 9:03 PM ^
Holy hannah. I could have driven a school bus through that hole.
January 3rd, 2011 at 9:04 PM ^
January 3rd, 2011 at 9:05 PM ^
Hmmm. What's Elway doing at the game? Should I panic?
