SOS, and SORR

KK, I can sum up 80-90% of it by simply saying: "The wheel route"

But ya know, I don't think they covered the first part of the wheel either. So, I'm not sure it was the route per se, but possibly Joe Pa's boys found a way to get a receiver unaccounted for...

Well, when they're constantly kicking off to you because the "D" can't stop them from scoring...

The truth is this: The Meeechigan offense is definately improved. Better than States? I don't think so. I know that sounds likely biased coming from a partasan, but I honestly don't think it's as good. I honestly wouldn't trade it. I think we possibly are more conservative, and interested in ball control. But I like what we've got and the players we've got. I like Cousins better than Tater or Shoelace, and wouldn't trade Nichols for either also. Tate certaiinly surprised me, but his cocky attitude is too much for me. Shoelace so far has not impressed me. Minor is pretty good, and so is Brown, but I wouldn't trade them for any of our running backs... The spread option can be pretty lethal, but again, I think what we are doing is smarter, and therefore better...

Anakin, if I ever run for political office, you're gonna be my talking points guy...

That was some serious bs spin...

But a demonstration of great talent for sure...

Hi Lady,

I would answer, but I don't know...

Well, what do you expect? To endorse a new fangled, gadget filled, smoke and mirrors offense that actually runs outside the tackles? And passes too? You must be crazy...

Har... (I like Lloyd after I heard his fairwell speach...)

I'm pretty sure some posters were saying recently that he did endorse RR, and said some good things...

Maybe it was among my deleted posts... I actually thought I was banned for a while until posters explained to me some subjects were not allowed and thus deleted...

But it seems to me it was a legal subject... I think I was joking after a loss... Maybe player performance? Anyhow, I meant one or more for you even if i didn't address it to you...

Yep, the hoops looks promising. BUT the players have to deliver as always, and hopefully the injury bug isn't lurking to near...

Ike!

Oh man...

Now that was funny...

I agree Cousins is the better of the two, but I haven't heard the coaches endearment toward a player put so eloquently... Oh man...

Hey! I like Dantonio! I have to stop laughing! This is borderline treason!

Go Green!

Hey...

How goes it?

Ummm... I thought I might just ask if you were suggesting perspective to Ericn? Is this the same PC that was so furious I couldn't even joke with a couple weeks ago?

Ahem...

Anyway, it was a tough season for you guys, and wasn't what we were counting on either. I hope you like hoop, because here it comes. Both your Wolvies and the Spartans should have plenty to smile about there...

Proud of the Spartans

I am very proud of the Spartans. We had some breakdowns, especially yesterday, but the overall picture looks really good. And this is why some of the resentful say stuff like Dantonio is underperforming. They want him fired mostly because he beats them on the field. But they say it's his record etc... etc...

The Spartans are growing in strenth. The future is so bright I've got to wear shades!

U of M has a chance...

I agree it's slim, but they are down and out... They could reverse a big portion of the seasons pain in one fell swoop... The Buck's have only a long win streak riding on this. Some motivation against a rival or should we now say "once upon a time" rival... It's not meaningless to the Buck's but a win certainly couldn't approach what a win would mean for the Wolvies... The Buck's will need to show up and play hard. The Wolvies will. If the Buck's bring their "A" game it will be a blowout. But it's possible they show up with something less. If so, this could be interesting. Michigan can score with that offense. They've proven that. But, the 2009 Wolvie defense is in big trouble if Pryor starts his scramble running... They will look like swiss cheese with extra holes...

We will see... It's why they play the game...

UM - RR

Howdy NEPA! How goes it? Gonz hoop gave us a little scare the other night, but the boys rose up and ended their hopes...

I think you're right about RR needs another year. I think I would prefer 10 another years the way they've been easy for the green and white... Seriously though, if it's true what some are saying, then maybe it's time to cut their losses. Some are saying there is nothing coming for the defense next year. I haven't followed U of M recruiting enough to comment, but if that's true then it's time. There might be an uptick in offense as these young players get more seasoned, but if there is no change on "D" then the results will be similar...

What are you doing up at that hour? No wonder you old goats are always napping...

Well, it's not as pronounced this time since some of the rats hadn't yet run back up the ropes even at 4 & 0...

But! There was an increase in Meeechigan apparel on the streets that I'm having trouble finding these days so the bottom line answer to your inquiry: "Yes"
