I know.....

or at least it is said by many that athletes shouldn't be seen as role models, but I would have zero issue with my sons looking up to him. Well done!!

Thank god....

I thought I was fully to blame but now see I share the blame 50/50 with you.

Babysitter

Makes me laugh that people blame the players and coaches, they had NOTHING to do with it.

Here is why it happend. My wife and I are to go to a neighborhood Octoberfest and had a babysitter over for the last couple minutes of the game as we were going to bolt right after it was over. With 10 seconds left the babysitter says "guys go ahead and leave this game is over."  I told her right away to knock on wood and she refused, the rest is history. This stuff is real and impacts games.

I told my wife we shouldn't pay her but she did anyway.

 

any video

out there of the crowd chanting defense?

An example....

back in the early 80's my dad was about your age and a student at Michigan. Not only would he go but he would bring me into the student section as a 7 year old. NOBODY gave a crap. Some even thought it was funny that I would do the bullshit chant when Michigan got a bad call. In short, nobody will care and have fun as you deserve to be there just as much as anybody else sitting in that section.

But.....

If I remember correctly, the fab five also said that AFTER they played against him that they had a lot of respect for his skills as a player. I guess CL focusing only on the negative gets him more press for his 30 for 30???

Yup....

You beat me to it. I loved the article and then I made the mistake of reading the comments. Let's see now, Harbaugh is worse then the fab 5, we will go 5-7, our recruits hate America, and an o h  i o chant to round out the absurd.

Piece o crap

Marketing for a software company, 2008 Dodge Stratus, huge presure to drive an Audi or BMW. But..... f em.

Walkers......

Agree with everything you wrote. Walking Dead just goes on an on and on. Kill walkers, boring dialog, kill more walkers, oh no here come some non-walkers to deal with, kill more walkers.

Huh????

Not being married is the biggest reason NOT to do it. I kid, marriage is wonderful, all the time, for ever and ever, until you die. Off to go cry.

Depends on after 2 years

An easy 2 year term sounds like heaven compared to my job currently. I would take up the challenge only after the 2 years I have no criminal record. With a record you are done for life.

$$$$ Keep in mind Duke is playing it safe as possible after the lacrosse case a few years back.
Kook I love the word kook as it really covers all the bases for somebody like you on the Internet. Takes it too serious? Check. Attempts to tell others how to post for some weird reason? Check. Spends too much time on a forum? Check. From now you are to only be known as the kook. Embrace it, it fits you well. Kook.
Kook Just because somebody has a different opinion doesn't make them a troll.
Quick thoughts Having lived in Ann Arbor for 26 years before moving on here are my thoughts: Fashion and Ann Arbor have never been 2 things I have thought of going together. Don't confuse your parents money for "your wealth". When the money is someday cutoff she will understand. And to the girl that replied, your place at Michigan is to study and do as well as possible, the rest is just noise. I hate the term but both letters were 1st world problems nonsense.
Bless? Looking at one of the twitter comments from the op, how exactly do you bless people on the field? Sorry off topic, but "I can't wait to see you bless people on the field" confuses me.
Autograph AC is the only player I ever wanted an autograph from, and all these years later it is one of my prized possessions. NOTHING will ever beat 100k plus chanting AC AC AC AC.
All true As I stated earlier I live in Raleigh and it is pure mayhem. When a retail outlet has it and place a limit you will see a guy going in with his mom, sister, girlfriend, etc... To get as much as possible. The real craziness however is when it is on tap. A place called busy bee will have it on tap at noon on Sunday and there is a mob waiting for the place to open. It is like Walmart on black Friday. I love the stuff but sorry I am not waiting in some line.
To me..... It is the best beer, that and Heady Topper. High alc, great smell, smooth as hell. Tomorrow at this time I will have one in my hand and the world will be right again.
Yeah....

Kind of odd but I am going up for a family thing. Sounds as if you work for Bells, can I beg that you open up a Raleigh location? I know it will never happen but the question still must be asked.

Ever try Heady Topper?

I know it is the popular thing to say (considering the ranking and all) but this beer is just the best there is.

Ahhhh

Love stone as well.

That's interesting

as you always see the experimental "Larry's IPA #XYZ".

Get out....

even on tap?

I have 2 cases

waiting for me when I arrive, but man on tap would be great. In Raleigh when a bar puts on their website that Hopslam is on tap there is a line 200 people long wanting to get in. I love beer but that is a little too much.

Sad I live down in theRaleigh area and have heard such great things about coach Smith beyond coaching. He was big on if he saw kids out in public he would go up and talk with them and if you were even the smallest amount associated with the b-ball program he got to know you and your family. Just a great person that was liked even by NC State and Duke fans.
I am being unreasonable

maybe in the other direction?? For the amount of time JH and staff had I can't really be anymore pleased.

National sports media

They simply don't take the time and effort to really look at the details. They do a quick glance of high level numbers and an article is produced.

Embrace the cold....

It has always been my opinion that Michigan should use the cold weather AS a recruiting tool. When you are in the NFL and at Green Bay during the playoffs, what program gets you ready for that situation better? UCLA palm trees or Michigan in weather that football was meant to be played in.

I did the same....

when I made my pick between VCR repair schools back in the day.

I am

I think without a doubt they need jail time. If this was a bunch of truck drivers that did this they would serve time, but since they are students they should be immune from real punishment?

Yes

If what they did was a crime why wouldn't you want them to have a record and serve some time? Paying back the damage and community service is a joke. These are adults that caused this and they need an adult punishment.

Coaching

Better coaching (which we have now) gets us to 9-3.

My god I can't believe some of these posts. We just hired the coach of our dreams and some people are acting like even with JH we are done. Fuck that and fuck them.

Meyer It sucks right now but Meyer will implode in time.
Yup Thanks, exactly my point. Giving a player a legacy jersey without playing well does nothing to honor the former great Michigan player.
Better They are better then the legacy jerseys in that they are earned.
NC In a house full of NC State alum and they are all watching the original Vacation instead.
Twitter and old school Just trying to imagine what Bo and Woody would have thought of players tweeting.
Neighbor

My neighbor is an OSU fan and I am going to paint her new puppy maize and blue.

Decline

I think what is going to hurt football the most is the number of kids that won't be signing up. I know countless parents that are saying "no way" to football and this will hurt the game. My son is 9 and just like everything if he wants to play he plays, if he doesn't he can do another sport. Football will never die, it will be just less popular in 20ish years and the talent level IMO will be lower then today.

As the bad person....

that I tend to be, I am sure I will end up hating him and wishing that he fails in the NFL.

After hearing the offer....

and watching that video, how the #$% could he not come home?

They money and plan B

Just an off the wall question, but what if JH doesn't come, how will this impact the plan B money offer? Will say a Mullen want the same, or do they (plan B types) know the pecking order and the pay that goes with being plan b?

1977.....

was my first game and the things I remember the most. Bo was a god, AC was a very close 2nd, toliet paper was awesome to throw after a score, the smell of pot was everywhere in the student section, after beating OSU on the road my dad would drive to the campus and the streets were nuts, watching Michigan reply was my Sunday religion, and my all-time favorite memory was when I turned 16 and got my license I drove to the stadium with about 10 friends in the car and all of a sudden the entire team comes out and walks right past the car. Bo walks by and sees us packed into the car and starts laughing. I had always known him to be a hardass so it was cool to see him laughing over a bunch of kids packed in a car wanting to see the stadium.

Duke says

no contact was made.

Mike and Mike.....

hate Michigan and use any opp to say so. F them.

Twitter is a joke

Tweets like this make me wish the internet was never invented by Al Gore (I kid).

Can we all stop....

with this he is a good man bs? He was hired and paid a ton to win footballs, period.
