is it that when people see an offer to a long snapper, they automatically assume that there's never going to be a bad snap? Does offering a quarterback mean he's never going to throw a pick? Does an offensive lineman committing mean he's never going to miss a block? Is a cornerback on scholarship never going to get beat in coverage?
moderately talented means first-team All-Big 10? K.
A 5-star playing like a 2-star means second-team All-Big 10? K.
You're right, though. The guys who couldn't push them out of jobs will definitely be leaps and bounds better. Starting a guard at left tackle, a tight end or a true freshman at right tackle, and a kid who's never played center before to replace a four-year starter at the position definitely is a surefire way to improve.
A line that lost three starters, including a second-round pick (albeit one who's getting annihilated in the preseason) and a four-year starter at center is going to be better with a guard at one tackle spot and a tight end at another?
the thing I'm most excited about is the OL commits. Nothing against the other guys, but I love the thought of having a killer OL. LTT-Bosch-Dawson-Fox would be an unreal line for a whole class, yet it got put together in two days.

but I will be. It's Rivals', not Rival's. Rivals didn't change its name to Rival, so apostrophe on the outside.
Back to the topic, though. Ross is my favorite of the LB commits in this class. He's going to be a hell of a WLB at Michigan. I think he can push for immediate minutes.
about the team, not Denard Robinson. The team averages more yards per carry on the ground. The team averages more yards per pass through the air. The team turns the ball over way, way less. The team showcases a much more diverse offense. I don't root for the University of Denard Robinsons. I root for the University of Michigan Wolverines. There's not a single guy in the top-5 on the team in rushing the ball that runs for less than six yards per carry (Robinson, Toussaint, Smith, Shaw, Rawls). There were two last year (Robinson and Toussaint, with Toussaint only getting eight carries). I don't care about scoring 65 points against Bowling Green to inflate the stats. Granted, Michigan is about to face the best defenses they'll see all year (other than Michigan State), but right now, the offense averages more points, more yards per play, less turnovers and already matched Rodriguez's best season in terms of win. Sorry if I prefer that to however Denard Robinson's numbers dropped off.
thinking back four years? LSU in its bitchslapping of Ohio State did not have a Heisman winner. Florida (Tebow), Alabama (Ingram) and Auburn (Newton) followed.
is the presumed QB next year. 3 (Scout) and 4 (Rivals) stars out of high school and the No. 4 prospect in Michigan as a senior behind Will Campbell, Edwin Baker and Chris Norman according to Rivals. 11/25 for 123 yards last year, 14/18 for 149 yards and a touchdown this year.

I write for a newspaper, so I use AP. Chicago is a pain in the dick, quite frankly.
but this is necessary. You don't change the word just to fit your apostrophe. Apostrophe goes on the outside. The word doesn't become singular in this case, nor does it lose the purpose of its original s. Rivals' All-Camp Offense, the Jones' house, Kovacs' interception.

It's not like Adrian Wojnarowski has a good track record of breaking news or anything.
Is it really an upset if one team wins 45-0? I vote no.

by his "blocking" during his career, it's not much of a stretch to say he's always been a receiver.

Gotcha.

How about a "Hello: National Championship" post? Or a "Hello: Robert Nkemdiche" post?

that they're all flash and no substance with those two national titles.
because the Buckeye fans are already spinning this one.

I love OL commits.
a big OSU lean?
Dodged...
is so fucking incredibly hot. It's almost not fair.
Mike McGlinchey's school is called Penn Charter, not William Penn. Alma mater of Matt Ryan.
Robert Nkemdiche? kthxbai
when OnwardState and CBSSports report it.
he never committed to USC.
you know, Nick Saban wins everywhere he goes. And he doesn't just win conference titles, but national titles.
but I will be. It's Rivals', not Rival's. Rivals didn't change its name to Rival, so apostrophe on the outside.

let my child go wherever he or she wanted and would actively root for him/her and the team.
even a year until Tommy got moved to DE. Pretty sure it was halfway through the season. Either way, your point stands.
I really like Avery. I think he's going to be a very nice CB for the rest of his career. Good No. 2 to Countess' No. 1 after next year.
for Brady Hoke to beat.
beautiful. Simply beautiful. Greg Mattison for Emperor of the World.

Lewan is going to call an opposing player a racial slur when he has several teammates who are of the same race?
Genius. That's ironclad logic.
just replied to me. Glorious. It's a really funny account.

He should be given unlimited eligibility and forced to start every game.
McVey had the Buckeye offer and Ryan didn't, thus McVey is the better player.

you officially took it too far.
How the hell do you go that long without paying rent? It's not that hard. Budget out whatever rent is, spend the rest.
Oh, does it get better. Let's hop in the time traveler all the way back to...August.

Make them stop! Make them stop!
that Ndamukong Suh donated a couple million to the school when he signed his deal with the Lions. I'm sure that helped.

a few Oregon beat writers, Seastrunk is fifth or sixth-string running back.

Since you know that UM's average amount of wins is higher than ND's over the past eight years, right?
EDIT: Not sure why it didn't go under Irish's post, but that's directed to his first reply in this thread.
Pipkins is originally from Michigan, so...
