This shit boils my blood. So many high IQ season ticket holders that "outsmart" the system by selling the OSU game to recoup their season ticket costs. I don't understand how this is accepted and is even admired by some as being really "slick" and "well played".
You selfish motherfuckers, maybe YOUR TEAM NEEDS YOU IN THAT SEAT, not some OSU asshole rooting against them.
If you are doing this, you are part of what is wrong with Michigan Football. If you can't afford the season (the entire season) leave the tickets for someone who can.
I don't have upvote/downvote buttons post upgrade. I've tried different browsers etc. I thought it was everyone having the issue but apparently some folks can indeed vote.
I was grinning ear to ear while watching the first half. The final quarter was rough to watch and honestly reminded me of JOK scrambling behind our line with our receivers dropping the few throws that weren't off the mark. A couple of grounding calls, a pick six, and the game capped off with a 4th down unabated sack felt all to familiar.
Don't get me wrong, I think the kid can ball out and hope to hell he comes, but I think Speight and JOK would have been serviceable (all injuries aside) if the O-line and WR problems weren't as bad as they were.
Of course, to really fill Pepper's shoes, he'll have to be able to assume his position in the Pepcat package. I suppose a new name will be needed for it as well...
Imagine if a coach's football playbook was subject to copyright law similar to a songwriter's catalog. Much of a coach's worth comes from their playbook and the creativity that goes into building its plays. This is similar to a songwriter/musician, where their livelihood also depends on their musical/lyrical creativity, and their right to be compensated is protected by law.
Imagine paying royalties to run a jet sweep. How about having to force a route runner to stutterstep in order to "change" the play enough so it avoids a copyright lawsuit? The "all the football plays have already been thought up" argument is common in musical litigation and I believe there are a maximum number of notes that a song can match the original.
If the “author” of the play were required to be acknowledged in some way, it would be interesting to see where successful coaches draw their playbook from, and how much they actually create themselves.
I agree, while not thrilled about the negative comments, caring enough and having the stones to publicly apologize holds much more weight with me than the teenage smack talk caught on video.
As a big fan of Ken Burns' work, I thought Shelton did a great job in the National Parks series. He and Shelby Foote (in The Civil War) are two of the best of inteviews in all of Ken's works IMO.
This is how I felt before IU last year. I was really nervous then and I'm nervous now. It's not that I think they are better, but they are close enough and our weekness dont match well with their strengths. The "best" team doesnt always win.
I agree with that as well. It's really a win-win kind of choice.
While obviously a the UM degree makes it a no-brainer for a middle aged fella such as me, my 18 y/o self would have struggled with a choice between a declining 5-7 team with a new coach vs a proven trophy hoisting powerhouse.
I cant fault a baller for wanting to ball, and I expect that at this point he still has no regrets about the choice. Hopefully that changes soon.
Our "wandering in the desert" is on us, not the recruits trying to do what's best for themselves. Just my opinion anyway.
I agree. It sucks that he didnt come here, but I dont envy having to make the choice that he did. I wish him the best and hope he puts up great numbers until we roll into town. Then, when we shut him down it's that much more respect for us. Iron sharpens iron and all that. We need a great sparring partner if we're headed to the playoffs.
"Greatest" is such a tough label to define, but man, when Denard would take off with the ball I would get giddy with excitement. The only other player that's gotten me worked up like that would be Barry Sanders. You never knew when it was coming, but you knew you were going to see something special. It was like watching history being written.
Shouldn't the better team generally win? As a former NASCAR fan, I followed the sport through from the "good ole days", thru the "golden years", and gave up during the recent "pro wrestling" era. As much as I like an exciting finish, I have no respect for a sport that reracks the balls for one last "winner take all" shot that invalidates all of the preceding events of the contest.

Boom! BC going toe to toe with Clemson too!

Hoping for the best, but I just spent 20 minutes watching Patterson running for his life against Cal and it didn't turn out great.

So you're saying the board needs some type of breathalyzer test before allowing a post? It's not a bad idea. Maybe they make a USB version?
EDIT: Some of those captcha entries are tough after downing a few. (I'm looking at you - "click all the pictures showing a storefront")
First they came for those with no MGOpoints, and I did not speak out -
Because I had some MGOpoints.
Then they came for those with 100 MGOpoints, and I did not speak out -
Because I had more than 100 MGOpoints.
Then the came for those with less that 500 MGOpoints, and I did not speak out -
But I did have to start posting in the Posbang threads.
I think it's #BLUE

Would be great addition to the all name team, though he is missing the mandatory hyphen.

I was just reading Shelton's wiki and it says he's a Cass Tech class of '76 grad. Small world...

Wasnt there some recent buzz about BC commit Kwity Paye getting some interest from us? He would be great for the all name team if nothing else.
EDIT: Kwity Paye in 2016!

Awesome! thanks for the update.... I was about to hop on Counterstrike to find out what I could.

Tebow is back in the news. Coincidence? I think not...
