where all you do is enjoy the luxury of freedom to pursue your passionate freedom in whatever way you've planned it, I wouldn't care what others think, which is freedom without borders. Passionate satisfaction with purpose. Sounds like a vacaton and Harbaugh preseason. Good time to go while the team is deep sixed for your consideration. 

Oh yeah, btw, also present for that rose-clenching game.

One of the BTN guys asked Shane what is one thing that he can take from last year and imply it to this year. His answer was short term memory loss, which is true for a QB, you can dwell on the past play but he could have answered it a little better cause we all remember what happened in Minnesota

You know you've either spent too much time studying rosters or know your obsession with things Michigan might be unhealthy when you didn't even have to question that it would be "there are Brian Griese days until kickoff". Indeed, Griese days were good days too. 

It is hard to believe that there are only two weeks until the Harbaugh era at Michigan officially begins to compile a record.

I really like what Bolden said about Durkin letting players improvise to their personal strengths rather than always adhere to a strict prescribed technique or strategy. I'm sure this isn't that rare, but I've never heard a player express this before. I think that's a key for all athletes, but especially elite ones: give them the fundamentals but then let them adapt the fundamentals to their unique kinesiology.

Will there be a torrent version of the preview?   I think mgoarchieve had one for the spring game.   Or will be on youtube?   I have trouble with mgovideo application as well.

..."As far as the running backs, juniors De'Veon Smith and Derrick Green were getting the bulk of snaps. Ty Isaac was not much of a factor."

I was thinking Ty would emerge as the odds-on favorite to start. Perhaps the snaps witnessed were a decoy. Conversely, perhaps De'Veon and Derrick are more hungry to start. 

Interesting nonetheless.

A lot of conflicting info out there and If I were BTN Id take what I saw yesterday with a grain of salt and you shoul too. Harbaugh and the team are in the submarine after all, and the coach wouldnt give an interview and probably only grudgingly allowed them to come to practice. What they saw could be all smokescreen. A lot of what I saw in thier preview was in direct contradiction to what 247 said the day before.

I know, an unpopular view but it stems from personal interaction. The really weird thing is about two weeks ago, my friend told me the game was first Thursday of September. I was convinced all offseason the game was last Thursday in August. So the offseason grew by a week for me. Talk about a deflating experience. (Yes that's a shout out to another former UM qb that wasn't an a**) Anyway, I'm as excited as anybody else. Go blue!!!
