  1. Michigan’s defensive personnel is really good, but I have doubts about Wink Martindale’s style in the college game, especially against an experienced Ewers and Sark. They have two top 2 rounds DTs, a draft able edge, two draftable LBs, a draft able safety, and a 1st round corner. It will be as talented a defense as we’ll see all year, but blitzing more than 50% against Sark’s calls with our offensive line is foolish. We’ll get plenty of chances too because that offense isn’t going to do shit with either of these QBs. ”My kingdom, my kingdom for Cam Ward.” - Sherone Moore right now
  2. I have degrees from both schools, so fuck any bias talk. Told a buddy Texas 38-17 after watching both spring games, but after what I’ve seen this week, Texas is stomping a mud hole, 41-7.
  3. Good reason for a bump….and since I saw this earlier today, here you go:
  4. No, A’Shawn literally called Bo and asked him how to fill out his LOI for Bama while he was at Texas….and Bo was his primary recruiter, so he was always a DL in college, even in regard to Texas. Was he seen as a recruit that could play either? Yes, but he wanted to be recruited on defense and only played defense collegiately.
  5. Success seems to go the other way (Leonard Davis).
  6. Brooks went to play for that fat fuck Bielema at Illinois. Coaches weren’t looking at the film and thinking “I can coach that out of him.” At least Brooks understood that if he didn’t want to lose weight, he should stand next to someone fatter….and fuck whoever upthread has made me defend Terry Joseph.
  7. As someone who has followed Michigan’s recruiting more than most on this site, I’d add a couple of factors in their roster/recruiting success: 1. Churn - Feels like Michigan processes the bottom of its classes faster than most. Actual school standards and weather probably help in this regard. 2. Recruiting northern athletes - These guys tend to be under ranked other than the occasional athletic freak for 5 star distribution purposes. The depth of ready made talent isn’t as great as in the south, so competition is a constant knock, but based on population, they should have some undervalued athletes that can be coached up. I think this is part of what makes their development appear to be such an outlier. Also, the recruiting analysts themselves seem to suck up north (the ones actually ranking people). Guys like Gerry make trips to Florida to see guys, not New Jersey. The guys beating the bushes up north are EJ Holland.
  8. If he’s an early enrollee, we can probably grab him next summer after he gets moved to safety and doesn’t get paid what he was promised.
  9. Why? If you asked Jon Heyman to describe what he sees, you’d get a whole lot of words to say “my colon.”
  10. Was in grad school in Ann Arbor, and my wife and I went to watch the Stros when they were in town. We went crazy when it happened, and everyone looked at us like we were nuts. Gave exactly zero fucks.
  11. Passing on Derek Johnson for Travis Johnson still pisses me off.
