think back to this time last year when Bush and Walker set their decisions so close in succession. Harbaugh just has more early enrollees this year to organize for the greatest publicity.
I could be wrong but I feel confident. If I'm wrong I will eat my ham!
I hope he pays it all in pennies. The B1G should be disappointed in their choice of referees for one of the biggest games in the past decade for this conference.
I feel better than I have in the past decades, Harbaugh had this team ready, a few officiating pit stops derailed this game, I look forward to Urban's heart palpations in the future. He was looking like "Which Papa John's pizza should I order" at a couple times late in the game before the Refs realized they would need to walk through the parking lot to get home tonight
But he's not yet Woodsonesqe, he needs to create more turnovers and a couple returns for TD could really help his cause especially vs. State and OSU. Would be neat if he had a TD running, throwing, receiving, both returns, and a fumble and interception return.
I agree with Charblue, CU had a well scripted initial plan. But Michigan was able to be what this team is and stayed with them pulling ahead in the 2nd half, leaving the buffs in the dust.
Unpopular Opinion Time
-CU will be middle of the pack PAC12 this year making a good bowl
-Michigan will be fine unless Urban can sustain a similar attack plan while Jim buries his head in the sand (which I don't think will happen).
Don't crucify me but Bama has plugged and played QB for the majority of their title runs. Not saying they're Bama level yet, but this roster does have some similarity outside of Michigan players being amateur athletes and Bama's players playing on lucrative contracts.
As an earlier post alluded to, HIIT is a cardio based plan, very few resistance exercises can elicit the HR requirements specified in HIIT studies.
Circuit training, the technique you seem to be referring to is an effective technique to build an excellent base for further resistance training or as a good variation within a program. I use circuit training at the start of programs and between mesocycles (block of similar intensity exercise) as an effective transition.
Looks like Harbaugh has shown he has a lack of instituitional control. Next thing you know you're going to be hearing about players missing a class or not helping a little old lady across the street. How did such a thing happen.
Sarcasm asside not the most brilliant idea by this young man but he'll survive. I assume half this board could have been guilty of this. Harbaugh will deal with him and I'd assume you can count him out of any meaningful reps this season as he works his way out of the dog house and back into Harbaughs Circle of Known Agents and Trusted Friends.
The way I see it, maybe Dunnaway becomes a OT, sounds like his athleticism is average for a TE, he shines as a blocker, and the picks I saw of him last weekend indicate he is a large human being.
This was evident by the low conference tournament attendance. When the big ten pretty much dismantled the WCHA, they really struck a blow to Midwestern hockey. As a MNSU-M alum there just isn't the intriguing match ups anymore, or at least not with any regularity. I have a hard time going to watch the Mavs play Lake Superior State and UA-Huntsville vs. SCSU, UMD, North Dakota, or the Gophers.
Never liked the Mannings, even outside of my Michigan fandom, this just adds to the disdain for me. I just hope they can now implicate Eli into this some how and things will be complete.
I think 3 might be too high for the initial, and I think we will see that when the pre-season AP and Coaches Polls come out but look at it this way.
Pros:
-A lot of Returning Starters
-O'Korn-He has spent a year learning Harbaugh's system and working with the man himself. His first season at Houston was better than most of what Ruddock showed prior to both joining the good guys. He also has spring practice to be "The Guy" where Ruddock did not. I don't see this as a hole in the line up but a strength
-Another year of continuity for most of the OL
-Don Brown-Killer Coach finally paired with tier 1 talent, look out world.
-B1G Best DL-Compared to who returns for everyone else and Blue, plus the Gary addition makes our DL early favorites for top unit in the Big Ten
-Best Secondary-Lewis and Clark, the CBs not the explorers look to be the best CB tandem in the Big Ten, pair them with Peppers as a HSP and promising safeties in Hill and Thomas. This secondary excites me.
-First 7 games of the 2016 Season - 6 of the first 7 games are at home with the lone away contest in New Jersey, which I'm pretty sure at this time has officially been recognized as East Ann Arbor.
-Staff Continuity-For the most part the staff has resisted major changes, and where there were changes I think we improved Brown>Durkin.
Cons:
-RBs-No one seperated for me, outside of a few good games by the likes of Smith, Johnson, and Isaac, we were very unimpressive. This could change if Smith is healthy, Isaac gets his head on straight, and Walker comes in ready to work with a chip on his shoulder from his late slide.
-LBs-Very little experience, but some potential in the returning group if they are healthy. Don Brown I think makes a difference here and I think Devin Bush Jr. makes All Big Ten-Freshman Team.
-Special Teams-We lose one of the most entertaining Special Teams players that I can remember in Blake O'Neill as well as Special Teams Coordinator extraordinaire John Baxter.
-MSU and OSU away-Both lose a lot of players but will always be formidable opponents.
TL:DR-Fewer question marks than last year, better more expereinced talent, easier schedule, Top 5-6 initially feels right to me.
Not worried Swenson and Hamilton never really seem like dominant OL players, especially not in the same respect as Onwenu and Bredeson have been talked up to be. I think unless the silent commit is EJ Price (whom had considerable interest in UM, was #2 to UGA when he initially committed) signs Wednesday I think Harbaugh and Drevno raid the TEs for Wheatley whom by many accounts is AJ Williams+ size and still largely athletic at this point and focus on 2017. In 2017 we are intial leaders for 5 stars Isaiah Wilson and Wyatt Davis, along with high 4 star Tedarrell Slaton. We're looking great after our 2017 CFP Championship win.
Off with the Maize and Blue Glasses (They're making my head hurt)
Vic isn't out of the ordinary as far as surprise commits and you guys that are infatuated with his tap should see Uncle Rico's. I personally think it's Price, he was on the verge of committing in the summer if I recollect and UGA barely beat us out as the hometown school with Uncle Mark at the helm. Would love Little or Hardman or Jackson though!
Worked as a High School Strength and Conditioning Coach as recently as last spring and the majority of kids are awful now. Had issues with kids all the time. With the litigation happy society we live in now Riley is not in an enviable position right now. If some of these parents would take responsibility and raise there children with discipline and a sense of respect things like this would not happen.
Harbaugh does it again. Secures Asiasi, while pushing Allen away from Nebraska, telling him they wouldn't use him correctly, only to push him to a different conference.
He fits the Harbaugh MO, he probably gets first shot at TE but DE is always an option. Versatility and athleticism is the name of the game right now I think.
Where does everyone want to meet with our pitchforks? Sarcasm aside, until signing day we won't know both sides of the story only the recruits side. I think we need to be rational here and reserve judgement until then.
The way I see it none of our backs have seperated from the pack, say what you want about Deveon Smith and Drake Johnson but maybe Harbaugh brings in more competition for a languishing position group, a la QBs for the 2015 season. Also some small connections to Sanders Jr., he went to Stanford a top academic school, UM is right up there, Shaw is a Harbaugh disciple, lastly I'm sure Sanders Jr. spent plenty of time in SE Michigan as a youth watching his dad play for the Motor City Kitties.
Has anyone looked at the fact that, 28 scholarships can be used per cycle and we're hearing 27 for this season? My guess is Harbaugh and Co. already plan on adding in one graduate transfer whether it's Raulerson or Taysom Hill or another candidate to be named later (Barry Sanders Jr.?).

He kind of looks a little like Ricky Williams.

Is this a good pick up? Is Alabama good at the football?
