The chance of me using the term "mgoboner" at some point during the day is high. Thanks Jeff, you've just invented my girlfriend's new least favorite word.
Is there anything wrong with that?
interesting fact: Jak proteins phosphorylate Epo receptors. This enables SH2 domains to bind to it and become phosphorylated. It then forms a homodimer and translocates to the nucleus.
No duh.
that comment gave me an MGoBoner.
Hah, beat you to it!
Motherfucker.
Looks like I might have MGoErectileDysfunction
Duh.
Just for depth purposes did we need either one of these 2 qb's if indeed the rumors are true. Hopefully not since we don't need to see Justin Feagin to hype up the spring game!
Really? You don't think that losing Nick Sheridan hurts? At least he has some starting experience. Why are you so confident that a couple of true freshman like Tate Forcier and Denard Robinson are going to be significantly better than an experienced Nick Sheridan?
people here are so confident about freshman QB's who they've never seen play a single game. They must be awesome film evaluators and talent judges of those grainy 8 minute high school video highlights.
You mean... those aren't indicative of future success? no. No. Noooooo!!!
(looks around nervously in shame, curls into ball on the floor)
Wow, what else can go wrong? I wish players would just stick around for a while and see how things shake out before they peace out - cough Steven Threet cough. Jason Forcier cough Mallet cough. All of these players would get lots of playing time if they just stuck around.
Can someone link the Rivals page that confirms this? I still don't see it on Rivals or mlive.
Ugh. Did Brian decide to Liveblog a spring practice?
and + some more
This whole Sheriden has experience thing is really overrated. The bottomline is he is not a very good QB. I played DII football and every QB in my conference had a better arm then him. Just because he played (horribly except for one) in a few games last year doesn't make him better.
Put it this way: Take any random mgoblogger who played some high school football and insert him into last years starting lineup. They would have gotten their ass kicked but would probably have made a play or two. Are they suddenly better than a Justin Turner/Will Campbell/JeRon Stokes because they have experience? That is the most rediculous thing I have ever heard.
The fact of the matter is Sheridan isn't very good and although it would great to have another arm in practice the only thing I want to see him do this year is signal in the plays and help Tate from time to time. And by all accounts he can do that with a broken leg!
I dont know about that, I played highschool fooball so Im pretty good. I probably could have led us to an undefeated season and won the Heisman.
worse than your average DII QB.
The issue is whether he is better than anyone on the University of Michigan football team, and by how much.
I suspect that Forcier will prove better (at least in the eyes of the coaching staff) than Sheridan, but that is not a given. The rest, Robinson and Feagin, are likely not.
"Put it this way: Take any random mgoblogger who played some high school football and insert him into last years starting lineup. They would have gotten their ass kicked but would probably have made a play or two."
Any random mgoblogger put in a game would yell "troll!! troll!!" at the first guy he saw. Then he'd hug Barwis on the sideline, wet himself, and pass out. No plays would be made.
And again, please tell me how that based on one grainy video clip, you are convinced that Denard is a better college QB than Sheridan. And why it's impossible for a QB to improve from awful to mediocre with experience.

What a great visual. LMAO.
Thank you.
I never said I was convinced Denard is a better QB than Sheridan based off of one granny video clip. I just hate the argument that he (Sheridan) is somehow a good option and better than the two incoming freshmen based off the fact that he has experience.
Anyone that watched Michigan football last year could see he had no business being on a major D1 football field. Just cuz he was our only option and RR was forced play him giving him that valuable "experience" people somehow think he is better than our two top level recruits.
If Sheridan take his headset off and puts a helmet on for anything other than taking a knee or holding the extra point we are in trouble.
"Experience" has taught us that!

...and Amen.
Rivals is reporting that Lance Armstrong broke his collarbone. Isn't he that new slot receiver?
Just picked up by the Free Press as well, though they aren't reporting the Cone injury.
Panic.
