Nice write-up, Not Ace (AKA Matt). One suggestion, many people may know what the stats at the end mean but I don't. Adding a paragraph that highlights a few points and gives me the ability to read the table myself would help.
Does he know the image is being used for promotional purposes? Frankly, the picture makes me think more of an autograph hunter than a financial advisor.
He and Brian do disagree a lot but I don't think he does it just to be contrarian. I love the dynamic he brings as it's great to hear Brian get riled up. Without someone like Ed on the panel the segment would be too close to a bunch of Michigan homers stroking eachother.
I complained about Wheatley last year based on what the rbs we not doing. I mean he had Smith and two 5 stars and the UFR was constantly identifying missed holes. When AJ Williams 180'ed his career rep it seems reasonable that at least one rb would do so as well. Is it just unchallenged dogma that rb is easier than other positions?
I wonder at their methods. It sometimes looks like they just mail it in and put down numbers. Brian seems to trust it but a postseason autopsy-post is needed. I would at least expect a strong correlation between the two over the course of a season.
You're looking at a guy who just got an 18 mph speeding ticket in Oregon (MI drivers license). Anyone want to comment on the sponsor or other ways to remove points?
From what I can discern, Brian doesn't look at people and see skin color. He sees different species. Currently, crab people. Previously, bug people [link].
Also, Bo Ryan is Alien Hitler [link] and Tom Crean is assuredly a douche [link].
With regard to MSU, sure, suspend him for half the season. Either way, a suspension is a vapid response that won't really teach him anything. I would venture that he we all need extended exposure to leadership development and conflict management curriculum. I assume those courses are somewhat standard within Michigan's athletic department but given the short-shrift at colleges that rely on bagmen to bring in talent.
I don't know Simmons or what the exact events were that passed but I watched the video and those two women were in a full-on brawl. Assuming one of them was a relative, I don't think his actions were that atrocious. He tried several times to break up the fight prior to hitting anyone. When he did throw punches you can tell, given his size, he was still holding back. Even if you take the chivalric* position that a man should never hit a woman, what do you do if the women is 225 lbs and is pounding your sister? MSU's response and ability to help him grow aside, I see a kid without a fully developed prefrontal cortex in a bad situation and environment.
Zika is sexually transmitted too. Not sure what kind of coach Harbaugh would be if celibate but it may not be worth the risk if you like the current version.
Did Brian ever UFR the OSU game? I'm pretty sure he did not despite being financially obligated by that Homsure Lending dude. I like to think Brian waxed the guy's car instead to avoid it.
I thought I read that cheerleading competitions were a racquet. Basically, any organization can hold a 'national' competition, charge fees, make money and give out a trophy. Is there some reason to think the NCA champtionship (not NCAA) is legit, other than the fact that UM students attended it? And please don't flame me for asking a legitimate question.

Thanks, Bryan, for the article.

Warde crushing it (by retaining Brandons's coaches).
Profiling
Great to have this back. If I could make one suggestion, could you try to limit the number of times you guys talk at the same time?
I demand you break out the Denard Robinson Cook tag for this post. He talked at least as much as Ace or Brian and likely isn't on the payroll.
Thanks for posting, WD

Like farting in the shower?
Nice article, Seth.
Name one aspect of decision making related to Michigan football that this site is not fascinated with.
For the uniniated, what's going on in the video where Doc Brown is working with the line? What's the principle he's going after?
It happened.

Ace did a thing too: http://www.goiowaawesome.com/iowa-hawkeyes-football/2016/11/749/dispatc…
Link or it didn't happen.

The context of Beilein's dancing comment. What is it?

The new tag is a perfect fit for MGoBlog.
Some people just want to watch the world burn.

*Or sexist
I've seen pictures of nearly the entire MGoStaff and that kid is too cute to be of their loins.
Just some schmuck, really.
Brian often highlights a few things but I think blatantly asking others to leak paywalled information should be frowned upon here.
Got yerself a job. Now go tackle the board comments.

Is rugby tackling really novel to American football? I swear that's what my 8th grade coach taught me.

What about special teams, Cook? There were a number of field goal attempts and a handful of kickoff returns.
