Semper Fidelis Bowl (Hurst and Douglas)
For anyone interested, the Marine Semper Fidelis Bowl just started on the NFL Network.
Michigan has DT Maurice Hurst Jr. and CB Ross Douglas playing for the East (Blue) team, and there are a ton of future B1G and ND players in the game.
So far, Maurice Hurst has looked extremely quick, especially on his 3rd down -10 yard sack against future Northwestern QB, Matt Alviti.

Hurst looks quick and strong, dominating his lineman. Exactly what we hope to see at Michigan
Douglass looks a little small, but is starting and has made a few plays
January 4th, 2013 at 9:42 PM ^
Former Michigan target Devon Allen just dropped a ball in the endzone on very good coverage by Ross Douglas.....
...... and it was called a touchdown....
100% not a catch
January 4th, 2013 at 9:45 PM ^
If there was instant replay that call would not stand.

Malik Zaire for the East (blue) is ND's QB recruit for the class. Lefty, dual threat
January 4th, 2013 at 9:47 PM ^
this game looks about 100x's much more organized than the UA game did...amazing when you get HS coaches to actually coach instead of former NFL guys their for TV and the espn presentation.
Also have zero doubt the Army game will look light years better than the UA game.
January 4th, 2013 at 10:04 PM ^
Night and Day. There's actually execution and real game play in this one. Much better game to watch
January 4th, 2013 at 10:09 PM ^
I wonder if they actually practiced plays rather than doing 1 vs 1 drills and skills competitions?
January 4th, 2013 at 9:49 PM ^
The Quarterbacks have looked a lot better in this game....
Maybe because Nkemdiche isn't on the DL, but still...
January 4th, 2013 at 9:51 PM ^
it looks like there was at least a little team practice...all i got from the UA game was nothing but 1 on1 drills all week and Herm Edwards yelling really loud for some reason.

and nearly got the sack as the qb somehow managed to escape his grasp.
January 4th, 2013 at 9:58 PM ^
seems to have a great motor.

January 4th, 2013 at 10:04 PM ^
Both on East (blue)
Douglas #6
Hurst #50
January 4th, 2013 at 10:05 PM ^
January 4th, 2013 at 10:05 PM ^

January 4th, 2013 at 10:08 PM ^

My cousin is the kicker for the east team, already has a 41yard FG and extra point. He's good and its going to kill me to see him kicking for MSU. He grew up a die-hard UofM fan, but no scholly offer.....booo
January 4th, 2013 at 10:28 PM ^
who is he? I ask only because the roster has the East kicker going to BC
January 4th, 2013 at 10:38 PM ^
Michael Geiger 3 star on scout out of Toledo.
January 4th, 2013 at 10:30 PM ^
Maybe he can miss a few on purpose?
January 4th, 2013 at 10:31 PM ^
That is just awful. Sounds like we need another MGoKickstarter for the kid's tuition.

Um, if they get a full ride football scholarship to MSU and not to UM, they probably would. I'm just saying, I would understand if it were someone in my family.
January 5th, 2013 at 6:35 AM ^
Unless you want to be a veternarian........... Try to get that degree at UM.
January 4th, 2013 at 10:48 PM ^
January 4th, 2013 at 10:32 PM ^
Michael Geiger, he was committed to BC, until MSU offered in early December. He's from Toledo, so family can make it to a lot more games....hopefully when he's kicking for MSU it never comes down to him kicking the winning field goal.
January 4th, 2013 at 10:34 PM ^
.....winning field goal, against US, that is.
His Dad works for UofM Hospital and went to UofM undergrad too........UofM not coming up with a scholarship for him could destroy our family. Thanks Hoke.
January 4th, 2013 at 10:44 PM ^
I think the solution here is obvious: go back to the BC commit. Better school, better location, less Axe body spray. Family problem solved

When you think about it, Gibbons is coming back right? Wile has 2 more years, we can't have 3 schollies taken by kickers in this 85 max era, they need to increase the max to 90.
Too bad Wile hasn't really had a chance to be an all time kicker at U-M, that guy can kick FG's well, he's unlucky that Hoke was able to handle Gibbons better than RR, He has earned his way to an NFL chance IMO with last 2 years, remember how he kicked in 2010, what a difference.
That right there is just one example of why I'm so confident about our staff and future
January 5th, 2013 at 12:08 AM ^
Your family really should not blame UM or Hoke for this one. At no point has the team considered taking a kicker, and even if they had, they're not going to take your cousin just because he's a Michigan fan. As a Michigan fan, I'd be furious if they did that.
If it really means all that much to him, why doesn't he walk on at Michigan? I understand a full-ride is tough to pass up.

Malik Zaire, ND QB recruit, looks meh so far. He fumbles but it's negated by a penalty. Sacked twice on other plays. Athletic, good speed and has escapeability, but hasn't looked great throwing
So that makes zero quarterbacks I've seen look good in these HS games tonight
January 4th, 2013 at 10:50 PM ^
January 5th, 2013 at 10:08 AM ^
I think if Treadwell comes down with ball last night and scores a TD, Morris is the talk of the game last night in terms of QBs. Even with the pick later
January 4th, 2013 at 10:42 PM ^
Shane would've went to the Army AA Game instead of that coreagraphed BS on espn, what a joke
January 4th, 2013 at 10:45 PM ^
January 4th, 2013 at 11:12 PM ^
Wasn't it 49-16 last year? Seem like we are just trying to compensate for Shane playing badly.
January 4th, 2013 at 10:47 PM ^
NFL Network just reported that Chip Kelly was nearing a deal to become next head coach of the Browns
