He was out with Jake Ryan, Kovacs & some current guys.

One of the guys was talking about the 4 hour practices and another one said aww, they're not so bad, which caused an immediate loud outburst of laughter as refutation from everyone else! Which turned into "well, it will be good for us in the long run" :)

There was also a comment about the new coaches being unbelievable, in a positive sense.

Michigan v Iowa is not on the schedule for 2015

Michigan will play at Iowa on Saturday, November 12, 2016, however.

Choose wisely, Kirk.

Give us Rucock and, yes, you will get destroyed in 2016, but it'll just be the normal kind of destroy (well, the kind that will become normal under Harbaugh). Withhold Rudock and you get the Angry Harbaugh kind of destroy--the kind that leaves you so humiliated that your children will deny they know you.

What I respect about the guy already is that in spite of us having somewhere between 8 and 1,456 quarterbacks already on the roster, Rudock wants to come here and compete.  

I really like that as compared to players like a certain Detroit area high schooler who shall remain nameless that went to OSU because Michigan (allegedly) promised him we wouldnt recruit any other RBs.

But I don't think it's going to happen. The B1G would have to approve it. The fact that it wasn't an immediate yes means that Delany is consulting other B1G coaches and ADs...you think his best pal Urban is gonna give the thumbs up? Me neither.

It will happen. The only thing Delany dislikes more than flack from his buddies at Wisconsin and OSU is negative PR. The negative PR nationally for not allowing a QB who doesn't (right now) have a lot of pro potential go to a school with a top 10 medical school and use his last year of football eligibilty would be enough for Delany to allow him.

ADs would have input and a transfer upsetting the normal way of building programs would be a legitimate argument against allowing this transfer.  It's not other teams or rivals fault that M has not developed or recruited QB talent and this isn't the NFL where you can trade for players to shore up weak areas. Michigan has to build their program the right way like everybody else.   That's going to be the rhetoric anyway.  I believe the argument for this transfer is that making M competitive now is good for the leagues major rivalry and the bgtn image if M is a respectable program and the sooner the better.   Not sure that it's an automatic approval.

Hope he makes the best decision for himself. He can't really go wrong with a top medical school and the best quarterback guru in the game. The worst case is he gets a great degree from a world class institution, and the best case is he goes to the NFL and wins a Big Ten Title along the way.

My guess if he came would be that he would enroll in a one year grad program. I think the School of Public Health has a 1 year Masters program. It is pretty unlikely that he could swing medical school and football in a new offense at the same time.

I don't know how you could swing any grad program and play football at the same time given the time commitment that football requires. I had a helluva time just getting A's and B's at UM and I basically did nothing but study. And there's generally no hiding academically at the grad level, whereas in undergrad you can Sports and Daily Life in Ancient Rome or The History of Witchcraft or Greek Mythology if you don't want to work hard (not that I would do that...but seriously, the Classic Civ Dept is a gem when it comes to easy classes).

It's definitely doable.  Nine credit hours is fulltime in grad school (sometimes 6 hours with an assistantship).  It wouldn't be that unusual to have one or more sections online.  He could do 9 hours in the fall then jump to a heavier load and focus solely on his studies in the spring.
