Plus...Holland had all the leverage here. There's no way another team was giving him a 7 year deal. 4/5 years max and at the right price, otherwise trade him or let him walk like he did with Marty Lapointe. Seven year contracts are down right stupid, unless it's a proven young superstar.
This was the same excuse he used for giving Franzen the big contract over Hossa. Sorry, but Abdelkader will probably never score more than 20 goals again (especially if he's not playing on the first line with Pavel or Z).
The original stickers were just a maize oval. Then they added the snarling wolverine and later the football laces. What about getting rid of the oval and just using the wolverine?
If Quicken Loans and Auto Owners pulled ads on BTN......until the quality of calls on the field got better, guess what? The quality of reffing - and in particular getting replays right - would be near perfect. And stupid rules that don't allow judgement calls to be reviewed would get quickly "updated". Anything that threatens the $$$$ machine called the Big Ten Network would be addressed immediately.
Auto Owners and Quicken are two of the top advertisers on the BTN with clear Michigan State ties and loyalties.
I'd love it if corporations with ties to Lansing and MSU that advertise on BTN would flex some financial muscle and make the BTN sweat a little.
And Dan Gilbert cares about MSU Athletics, make no mistake about that.
The pass to Marquise Walker (6:15 mark) against Wisconsin was right on the money over two defenders. Throws like that is why he would've been the #1 overall pick in the NFL.
If he stayed at Michigan, he would've been the #1 overall pick by the Texans in 2001. David Carr was a bust and still made over $50 million in his NFL career.
Jackson not only gave the Rose Bowl its nickname, but he also came up with the phrase that today is commonly used for majestic Michigan Stadium.
"We walked in there one time when it was empty and Keith looked around and said, 'Boy, this is one big house,' " Turi Ann says, and "The Big House" was born.
Herman would be stupid to take either job. If he keeps winning at Houston, he might get a shot at the Texas job (especially if Strong gets fired after next season). Kirby Smart is not leaving Alabama unless the Georgia job opens up.
Not only does the NFL want you to build them a new stadium, but they also want to control all stadium-related revenue (naming rights, game-day revenue, tax revenues and on-site parking).
In the 4th quarter of the Rutgers game, the announcers said that Shane Morris asked to redshirt at the start of the season. There have also been some rumors about him graduating early and playing two years at Grand Valley State.

Pride comes before the fall lol
The last QB to win the Big Ten title and beat OSU.
Also, who the hell would choose to be an MSU fan without some pretty significant connections to the school?
Especially if you live in SE Michigan. Take I-94 and it's only a half-hour drive to Michigan Stadium.

Terrible deal...Holland has lost it.
The fact that we are even discussing this is amazing. Last year at this time, we were fighting for bowl elgibility and losing to Maryland.

It would be great to see him at his best for the last two games of the season (like Denard in 2011).

Fuck Steinbrenner!
Dr. James Joseph Harbaugh!
Apple Cinnamon Cheerios.
But until they lose, they deserve to be ranked in the top four (wins over ND and FSU really helps them).
He was (4 star and #79 nationally).
Nauta is a much better prospect.
It's way better than playing Lamar or Rice, plus it's a rivalry game for Iowa.
Most of the money is used to keep the lottery running.
Maybe we should also ban alcohol. I know people who've had their life ruined because they drink more than they should.
I hope that means he'll play even better against Indiana...since they gave up 55 points to Rutgers.

He can't be any worse than Scott Tolzien, Dan Orlovsky, Bruce Gradkowski or TJ Yates.
It was my favorite until I tried Apple Cinnamon Cherrios.
You never know...look what happened with Malik McDowell. Also, don't forget about his dad possibly landing a recruiting position at Michigan.
B1G refs are awful...how do you miss this holding call?!
Herman would be stupid to take either job. If he keeps winning at Houston, he might get a shot at the Texas job (especially if Strong gets fired after next season). Kirby Smart is not leaving Alabama unless the Georgia job opens up.
When did the whole "Penn State night game" start? Back in the 90s, we always played day games at PSU.
NFL really pushing this whole “Rams should get to keep taxes and eat them too” thing
Not only does the NFL want you to build them a new stadium, but they also want to control all stadium-related revenue (naming rights, game-day revenue, tax revenues and on-site parking).
Cheerleader lol
You can see it from this shot...there's about a 10 foot gap between the edge of the turf and the stands.
He wants to get his degree from Michigan and have two years of eligibility.

We also play them at Jerry World in 2017.
