Were you asleep for all of 2008 through 2016?

Higdon may be sitting out???

That would be a mistake. He seems like a day 3 pick to me right now. He should be taking every chance he can get to improve his stock.

What about if when a player…

What about if when a player leaves early for the draft, you can't offer that scholarship to a new recruit, but you can offer it to a walk-on who's already on the team?

 

The problem with your proposal is it could be spun as a way to further avoid compensating the players. If the system was instead freeing up those scholarships for walk-ons, I think it'd be a lot more popular.

I fail to see how increasing…

I fail to see how increasing the scholarship limit would help us. That would just mean we'd be competing with Alabama on a larger number of recruits.

 

I think dropping the scholarship limit down to only starters could help because then top recruits would pick the school where they're most likely to start immediately. This would mean schools only get top recruits if they don't already have top recruits which would be good for parity. I don't see such a change being politically viable however.

 

 

I don't think he wins the…

I don't think he wins the Heisman in our system.  We'd run him less and we'd throw him less.  He wouldn't get the stats to win it.  I'm not even convinced he's a better passer than Patterson.  

I didn't expect the fallout…

I didn't expect the fallout from Ohio State to take this long to hit recruiting.

 

I wish the NFL would let guys go to the draft after one year. Developing talent is the only way we'll ever be able to compete with Alabama. We'll never win a head to head recruiting battle.

The disclaimer was entirely…

The disclaimer was entirely unnecessary.

It should. The new coach is…

It should. The new coach is a huge question mark. There is very little evidence that he can be successful as a full-time head coach nor is there reason to believe that he won't bolt to the NFL as soon as he finds success.

 

If you're a new recruit for OSU, you're future is looking like you're either going to lose a lot or have one good season and lose your coach.

Good decision. I'm glad our…

Good decision. I'm glad our younger guys will be able to get some reps.

I hope he was encouraged to…

I hope he was encouraged to leave by the coaches, otherwise this is just embarrassing. I'd much rather be a second stringer for Michigan than a starter for Rutgers.

What is an NFL QB coach doing as our offensive analyst?

Does KenPom factor is preseason rankings? How are we so far below Duke still?

You better be a VP at a billion dollar company to be spending that much on a Christmas gift for your manager.

#7 is a pleasant surprise.  However, if we somehow make the playoff, we're going to get dominated by Bama.  I'd almost rather play Washington State and actually have a chance to win our bowl game.  Let Notre Dame get dominated by Bama instead.  

I've never heard of this guy…

I've never heard of this guy in my life. Are we sure he was actually committed?

Patterson would certainly…

Patterson would certainly get drafted. It would be at 100+ but he would get drafted. Teams are going to want to see more arm strength out of him before they burn a high pick on him.

Winovich gets a 0/30 on pass…

Winovich gets a 0/30 on pass rush. Same with the rest of the DL. How any of them could be in the top five is baffling.

 

Edit: maybe PFF is giving all those pass rush negatives to Don Brown for running hopeless plays. If so, that's fair. Dr. Blitz should be stripped of his doctorate.

Patterson was a good QB. So…

Patterson was a good QB. So was McCaffrey. We didn't need a QB; we needed a tight end who could catch and block.

Moving Gentry to TE was a smart move because we had nobody better. He was put in an impossible position, so we have no right to be mad that he failed.

We should have recruited a real TE. Mustapha Muhammad might be that guy next year; I don't know. All I know is we don't have that guy right now.

I hope Michigan State fucks them in the throat this weekend.  That whole school can burn.

This is cowardice.  Plain and simple.  How can you fire the only person fighting for the football team to have a full-time doctor?

 

Everybody but Durkin should be fired.  This is a fucking despicable decision.

Didn't these columns used to be accompanied by a bunch of photos that were taken by somebody on the field. What happened to that?

Not gonna lie, it's pretty disappointing that both Devin and Karan don't know the difference between "was" and "were."

I don't give a damn about…

I don't give a damn about redistricting, but Arnold is the fuckin man. I wish I could be there. 

God, I hope the players don…

God, I hope the players don't read this blog. It's straight up rat poison. Stop thinking about Ohio State and Penn State. We've lost 8 of the last 10 games against MSU. We need to pound these guys into a fine paste. Nothing else matters right now.

That Milton QB draw in the…

That Milton QB draw in the first half was incredibly dumb. Everything else was solid.

Have you considered writing…

Have you considered writing for barstool sports? Their founder is a multi-millionaire. You could probably make a lot more money writing for them.

Brian hates him because he's…

Brian hates him because he's more successful than Brian. The readership here doesn't think for themselves so they just go along with it.

 

Also, most of the readers who would support barstool have either been banned or left on their accord because they got sick of Brian's constant bitching.

That every snap film was not…

That every snap film was not pretty.  I had him graded at -4 or -5 before I had to stop halfway through because watching their defense get ripped to shreds was too painful.  The recruiting services were probably right about this kid.  I hope he's a good baseball player. 

Yes. I have no idea why we…

Yes. I have no idea why we keep throwing that WR screen to Collins instead of DPJ. Also, a quick slant to Perry every now and then would be a welcome addition to our offense.

At home, I think is a…

At home, I think is a comfortable win. I'd be sweating a bit if we were on the road though. -17.5 seems fair.

No, football is equal parts…

No, football is equal parts about having a good defense and a good offense. It always has been always will be.

He has the athleticism of…

He has the athleticism of Von Miller or Khalil Mack, but even against college OLs he isn't putting up similar performances to those guys. It's hard not to feel like we have been getting too little out of him.

Bullshit. He jammed him at…

Bullshit. He jammed him at the line which is legal within five yards of the line, and he made a play on the ball so more incidental contact is allowed than normal. If that were a penalty, football would be fundamentally broken because teams would just throw slants every single play.

I am a conspiracy theorist…

I am a conspiracy theorist and I agree with you.  The refs have screwed us so consistently that you can no longer attribute it purely to bad luck. 

My intuition says that -14.5…

My intuition says that -14.5 line is being generous to Northwestern.  However, when it comes to Michigan football, my intuition is always wrong.  This game will be a nail-biter.

His school, St. Francis, won the 2A state championship in California this year.

I have no doubt he'll be

I have no doubt he'll be a better QB than Milton.  Milton's high school stats are flat-out terrible and don't improve at all over his three years as starter.  I bet Milton ends up playing a position other than quarterback.

Every three Simpson shoots is a wasted posession.  Kid has the ugliest shot of any guard I've seen.

Hard to imagine this team

Hard to imagine this team will be able to put together three wins over the next five games.  We're probably going to the NIT.

FYI, I'm pretty sure that Z appreciation thread was facetious. His steal at the end was dirty though

We've known for months that we're a poor free throw shooting team and evidently Beilein has done nothing to correct it.  Somebody teach Simpson a proper shooting motion.

Will Campbell getting charged

Will Campbell getting charged with a felony for sliding over the hood of a car is an obscene miscarriage of justice.  The default police response to that should be to make him pay for the damage.  Charging him with anything, especially a felony, should be a last resort used only if he refuses to cooperate.
