Don't post it if you wouldn't say to the players parents

I don't think any of us would have walked up to Mike Williams parents after the Illinois game and said, "your son sucks", so why do we do it here? I don't think alot of you comprehend how devastated these kids are after they perform poorly in a game. Have you seen the picture of Denard after the Iowa game? I have a 13 year old daughter who played poorly in a damn 8th grade volleyball playoff game. She was in tears afterwords because she felt she let her team down. The kids on Michigan or any other team are much the same. The coaches feel Mike Williams is the best option at safety and he is giving it his best, I applaud him for it. Thankfully most of us don't have 1000 experts analyzing our every move, waiting for a mistake to pounce upon, to justify telling us anonymously that we suck.

To the Board: "Michael Rosenberg's slanted, agenda-based hachet jobs mark a new low in journalistic integrity." To Mrs. Rosenberg: "Your son has quite an imagination."

let's just all post false stuff like, "you know, Mike Williams is a really good player. I enjoy watching him every week." Because a bunch of pandering bullshit is important for good discussion.

Good post. It really ticked me off the way John Navarre was treated. Navarre actually put up decent state his junior and senior years. Anyways, even when he struggled he always tried as hard as he could, stayed out of trouble, got good grades and even did charity work. He was a great guy to have on the team and he never passed blame around.
