On Coaching or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love DeBord
Since the season has ended, many Michigan fans have been playing the what-if game. Retrospect, hindsight, reflection on past failures and successes: these are the cherished and sacred rites of any sports fan when his team is in its offseason. And God knows there is no longer offseason than that of a college football team not going bowling (side note—it's kinda hard to conceive of 10 months before we see Michigan play another game) Lately I've been hearing a lot of Michigan related ruminations, including: What if Bo were still alive? What if Les Miles were our coach? What if Ryan Mallett had stayed? Etc. Many Michigan fans are wondering what we could have done to avoid the worst season in 129 years of Wolverine football. You know the conversation because you've probably had it. And I don't wish to rehash it, because, as a wise man once quoted an even wiser monkey, 'It's in the past.'
But, when the past does come up, there is one assertion universally agreed upon by all Michigan fans and that is this: Mike DeBord as U-M Head Coach=DEATH.
I bring it up only because I still read it and hear it, even today, and frankly, it bothers me. I might get crucified for this but here goes: I believe Mike DeBord would have been a fine choice for Michigan's head coach. Now don't click away just yet! I've got reasons dammit!
Part I: Theory on College Football Coaches
I'd first like to introduce the Mad Magician's Theory of College Football Coaching Models. According to research performed in my secret lab on Death Mountain, there are two primary modes of operation for a college football head coach:
Type 1 is the Hands-On Head Coach. This coach is the man with the headphones on the ears and play sheet in hand, in constant communication with his coaches in the box and his players on the field during games. He calls plays on one side of the ball. He's a gameplanner, a schemer. He employs a distinct style of play often referred to as '(Insert last name)-ball.' Examples of Type 1 are Jim Tressel, Steve Spurrier, Rich Rodriguez, and, I think, Pete Carroll (defense).
Type 2 is the Program CEO. This is the Head Coach who oversees the entire operation of the team but delegates certain responsibilities, mainly play calling and game planning, to his assistants. In the end, however, there's no doubt he's the boss. He manages the games, runs practices, screams at referees, and is the Closer when it comes to recruiting. Lloyd Carr was classic Type 2. The players all respected and even feared Lloyd because his judgment was always final. The Type 2 Head Coach is the face of the program, and his demeanor sets the tone for his players, coaches, and fans. Mack Brown is another example.
Sub-type: Type 2 (ret.) was the predecessor of the modern Type 2 but is now, obviously, retired. Type 2 (ret.) was a Tyrant. A General. Sometimes even considered God. Examples include Bear Bryant, Bo Schembechler, and Woody Hayes. Type 2 (ret.) has gone the way of the days when men had names like Bear, Bo, and Woody. Their time ended ca. 1989 AD.
There are two other types of head coaches:
Type 3 is, sadly, soon to be extinct. Type 3 is a conflicted, raging egomaniac who cannot decide if he's a Type 1 or a Type 2. It probably doesn't matter, but it is compelling to watch him flounder in helpless despair as he seeks a true identity. Type 3 loves to show off his Super Bowl rings, the last relic of former associated glory.
Type 4 is also known as The School Mascot. There are only two Type 4s: Joe Paterno and Bobby Bowden. Coooommmee to Pennn Shhhhhtaaate!
Part II: A History Lesson
It's 1995 and Gary Moeller has just been forced to resign. Lloyd Carr is not a very popular guy in Ann Arbor. As Defensive Coordinator he has been designated the new scapegoat for a four loss season. Really, he is the Mike DeBord of the early nineties. He is not Michigan fans' first, second, or even third choice to take over the program. But desperate times…
I recall that Lloyd once said, 'The best move I made as Head Coach was firing myself as Defensive Coordinator.' Because, you see, sometimes a guy may not be the best coordinator, but he's got the moxie, the cajones, the brains to be a good Type 2 head coach. He may not be a great schemer, but the good ones have a feel for players, are adept at recruiting and developing talent, know to hire the best assistants, and foster a winning environment. He understands how every aspect of a winning college football program should operate. This was the case with Lloyd Carr, a Michigan assistant since 1980.
Part III: The Case for DeBord
Now let's consider the supposed DEATH alternative universe where Mike DeBord has been named Michigan's Head Coach. I beg you to open your eyes and look about you. See? It's not so bad. Because Head Coach DeBord's first move would have been the same as Lloyd's, that is, he would have fired himself and ceded Offensive Coordinator duties to Scot Loeffler, widely considered one of the bright young coaching minds in the country. My guess is Loeffler would have committed U-M's offense to a more diverse, aerial/spread attack like the one we saw in the bowl game last year. I refer to this scheme fondly as the Indianapolis Colts offense. And those 41 points hung on the Gators in Florida? Mike DeBord/Scot Loeffler's gameplan. So the guy wasn't a total hack.
I graduated in 2006 and I was good friends with several guys on the team. Mike DeBord, aka DeBo, was universally beloved by the players. I can say quite certainly that they would have loved to play for him in the same way they loved to play for Lloyd.
I also had the pleasure of meeting Mike DeBord a few times, and he had the kind of personality you'd want in your Head Coach. Unlike most football coaches, he seemed a genuinely nice guy. Funny too. I heard him tell a story about how his best friend was coaching with the Vikings. Randy Moss came to practice with his shoes untied, looked down at the laces, and said, 'Sorry coach, I can't go today' and walked away. 'That's why I'm coaching in college,' said DeBord, who now coaches in the NFL. Such is life.
But I'm not here to say Mike DeBord should have been Head Coach because he was a nice guy. Hell, I'm not saying he should have been Head Coach period. Remember, my premise is I don't believe Mike DeBord=DEATH. You see, I think Mike DeBord would have been a capable Type 2 college football head coach. One of the key components of being a Head Coach is being a respectable Face of the Program, someone who carries himself with class, treats others with respect, wins and loses with dignity, and demands the same of his players. I think Michigan fans would have loved DeBord in this respect. And getting the fans and the players on your side, well, that's half the battle.
Now I also know that DeBord's one stint as a Head Coach with CMU was a failure. No question. But DeBord felt at that time, similar to Rodriguez with WVU albeit on a smaller scale, that the school was not committed to providing the necessary resources to build the program. That's not something I can judge one way or the other because I don't really know enough about CMU. But I don't believe his CMU experience means he would have failed as head coach for U-M.
Michigan is not the toughest place to win.* The pieces for success are built-in. A monkey could reel in annual top 15 recruiting classes. And I'm a big believer in what John Wooden once said, when asked who were the best coaches: 'The ones with the best players.' Talent is 99% of the battle, and U-M with DeBord or RichRod or the monkey or anybody would have continued its talent advantage in at least ¾ of their games every year.
I also believe that as a continuation of the Schembechler line of coaches, DeBord would have gained national credibility immediately. He may not have been the sexiest pick, but it doesn't make him the worst. With Loeffler at OC, English at DC and all the inherited assistants, I don't believe Michigan would have ceased to be a national power with Mike DeBord as head coach.
Now, I don't want to make it seem as though I'm mad DeBord wasn't named head coach. I'm not one of the Rodriguez haters--quite the opposite; in fact, lately I have become more militant in my belief in the progressive football values espoused by the WLA. I think the long-term ceiling for success under Rodriguez is higher than it would have been under DeBord. Michigan is Rodriguez's program now, and I for one am behind him 100%. This article is not meant to have anything to do with Rich Rodriguez. I love Rich and think he'll bring more success to Michigan.
But it bothered me last year, and bothers me still, to see DeBord so universally denounced as a potential U-M Head Coach. Michigan fans, you would have liked this guy. Just think of Lloyd Carr, Defensive Coordinator. Maybe this has just been a really long way of saying that lousy assistants can make capable head coaches. But anyway, thanks for reading, and as always, GO BLUE-- The Mad Magician
*=you can make it tough, however, if you bring in a new offensive system, new coaches, etc. But that's cool, too, it'll just take a few years. Rodriguez will find it very easy to win at Michigan in the near future.
Taylor Lewan and Craig Roh Interview
Most of you may not know that I live in Arizona. I recently [ed note: not that recently anymore!] got the chance to see one of the final football games of the regular season for Michigan defensive end commit Craig Roh and offensive line target Taylor Lewan, teammates at Chaparral High. Chaparral beat Lewan's former team Cactus Shadows 45-28. Their team is 9-1, and they both have a lot to do with their team's success.
Craig Roh is a defensive end, four star recruit, and Michigan commit. Throughout the entire game he played strong, and didn't seem fatigued. The P.A. regularly announced his name for tackles and big plays. He was very vocal on the sidelines, focused on the team rather than himself.
He told me that was one of the things that drew him to Michigan, "They treat everyone like family, whether you're a freshman or not. I really like that each player gets treated the same, and with respect."
He also really likes the tradition of Michigan football, and has already started to build friendships with other players. "I've talked with Anthony Lalota a little bit," said Roh, "and I actually have Mike Martin's phone number, so we talk too, which has been good to get to know my future teammates."
We went on to talk about his excitement to get up to Ann Arbor this summer, where is his main focus will be building strength and putting on weight. When I asked him whether or not he was trying to convince his teammate, and friend to join him at Michigan, he looked back at Taylor down the field, and said "yeah, I want him to come to Michigan; I want him to be there with me."
While the recruiting process has slowed for Roh after his commitment, it's picked up for Taylor Lewan. Lewan, a recent convert to offensive tackle, stands 6' 7", 272 pounds and runs a 4.72 40. Before his senior season, he was relatively unknown, but now he's one of the hottest offensive line prospects in the country, a newly-minted four-star recruit and possessor of over 20 offers. Oklahoma State and Missouri are the latest BCS schools to add themselves to that list.
I had the privilege of talking with Taylor and his father Dave. They both seem to be taking the process for a ride, and are excited about Taylor's success. The elder Lewan was an athlete at Minnesota, and lived in the Detroit area earlier in his life. He told me "I'm not being biased at all, this is Taylor's time, and he's going to make the decision."
They both told me about Taylor's favorite player: former Michigan left tackle and current Miami Dolphin Jake Long. Dave told me that every Sunday, "Taylor watches the Dolphin games, and actually rewinds every offensive play to see what Jake was doing, and his technique." Lewan draws comparisons to the first pick in the 2008 NFL draft. Taylor plays left tackle, wears the number 77, is one of the smartest players on and off the field, and has based his game on strength. Coming out of high school, Long was a recent convert to offensive line rated about where Lewan is.
I wasn't sure what to expect from Lewan since he was relatively new to the position, but he showed why colleges across the country are after him. He stands taller than most of the players on the field, and lacks the usual spare tire around his waist. He's solid muscle, and has a good frame to build on.
Then he strapped on his helmet, and showed me his best Jake Long impersonation. He plays with harnessed anger and emotion, and more importantly plays snap to whistle on every play. The play that stuck out was when he drove a defensive end all the way past the right hash mark, and would've kept going had the whistle not blown. His dad told me that Taylor thought he had a poor game, but that type of play is pretty normal for his son. "If you watch his highlight film," he said, "there's a play where Taylor drives a kid 30 yards down the field, and actually out of the camera shot."
He told me he actually prefers playing in the cold, which is refreshing to hear from a warm climate player.
Coach Dews has been in contact with Lewan regularly, and has made a great impression on him. "I really like how Coach Dews treats me, and when we talk, I feel like he's my friend," said Lewan. Taylor seems to have a great head on his shoulders, and the right support system in his family. He's looking for the right opportunity, and wants to play. Roh and Lewan were both recently invited to play in the Under Armour All American Game. They drill together after practice, and credit each other for their success."There's no way that I would be where I'm at right now without Craig, he's pushed me, and I've pushed him to where we are today," said Taylor. Lewan told me that he will be taking one of his visits to Michigan. He originally planned to do so this weekend, but Chapparal has a playoff game and he has to reschedule. He currently plans to visit December 6th.
Michigan has some good competition for this highly touted recruit, but I can confidently say he will be a household name where ever he goes. Both he and his family spoke highly of Michigan, and had some great things to say about the coaching staff as well. We'll have to wait and see how this plays out, and there will be a lot of teams watching his every move.
Let's play: "Put Things in Perspective"
There have been a lot of posts this season that have centered around Talent levels, Coach selection, Bare cupboards, New systems, The Freshman 15 and Adapting to players. Most of which came from one of two camps: "We like RR and are giving him time to hatch the Death Butterfly" or "That dumb Hillbilly is worthless and we'd be better off with Debord and gads and gads of 'Zone Left'".
I've personally been in the former camp especially when considering what the man had to work with. (And I'd like to also take this moment to give credit to all the guys on the team for really busting their asses this season. We have far too often criticized the talent level and without recognizing that every member of that team has more talent than any five of us put together.)
Well given that the season is over and I can't find anything better to do with the time I dedicated to Michigan football I went searching from some information on teams in a similar position as our beloved Wolverines.
So looking at the schools that have shown up in the top 25 in the past 5 years (save SMU and So Miss) here are the schools that had new head coaches this season:
Georgia Tech 8-3 (8-4) (records in parenthesis are where I am projecting them to finish)
Texas A&M - 4-7 (4-8)
Nebraska - 7-4 (8-4)
Arkansas - 4-7 (4-8)
Mississippi - 7-4 (8-4)
Washington St - 2-10 (2-11)
West Virginia - 7-3 (8-4)
Southern Miss - 5-6 (6-6)
Hawaii - 6-5 (7-6)
As you can see all but two teams should finish with a better record than our illustrious 3-9. That said take a look at the percentage of total offense, rushing, receiving and total all purpose rushing that was done by freshman:
Team /Total 0ff/Rushing yds/Rec yds/All Purpose Running yds
So Miss /63% /19% /40% /25%
Michigan /59% /54% /53% /62%
G-Tech /27% /26% /24% /33%
Arkansas /15% /14% /36% /40%
Miss /15% /32% /6% /15%
Tex AM /11% /39% /52% /59%
Nebraska /3% /6% /1% /4%
Hawaii /0% /0% /3% /1%
As you can see only SMU and So Miss had larger percent of total offense produced by freshman than use. You will also see that no one is close to us in the amount of rushing production by a freshman. And only Texas A&M is close to us in receiving production and all purpose running yards. It's worth noting that SMU started a freshman QB in a June Jones offense and S. Miss also started a freshman QB.
Let's take a look at Offense ranks and strength of schedule (to date) for these teams now
Total offense/ Rank / SOS
So Miss /63% /19 /96
Michigan /59% /112 /10
G-Tech /27% /53 /42
Mississippi /15% /39 /22
Arkansas /15% /54 /7
Tex AM /11% /69 /29
Nebraska /3% /9 /17
Hawaii /0% /75 /71
As you can see only WSU was worse offensively than we were. That said only Arkansas had a tougher schedule. And the two teams that have more freshman offensive output have a schedule rank of 63 and 96 and are at the bottom of this group in strength of schedule.
Looking at all of that information, I think it's safe to say RR had the worse situation of all the first year head coaches. And if you look at the schools that really went through "extreme" offensive scheme changes like Michigan did
Team/ record/ Total / Rush yds/ Rec yds /All Purpose/ SOS
offense/ /Running yds /
G-Tech /8-3(8-4) /27% /26% /24% /33% /42
Michigan /3-9 /59% /54% /53% /62% /10
Both schools had fairly easy schedules and aside from the SMU QB neither had nearly the freshman influence that Michigan had.
Bottom line is that experience is so very important in football, especially in cases where there is a coaching change. So before you go off half-cocked about how RR was a bad choice and should be fired, consider the information above. I think it's safe to say that we should practice a little more patience.
Then and Now (Part 1: What Just Happened)
Now that the 2008 football season is mercifully over, many of us are using this blog as a place to vent, analyze, rationalize, and commiserate. I think it helps us through the grieving process. And it's just one more service provided by our kindly proprietor -- thanks, Brian. Since you've provided the space, here goes nothin'....
It's really remarkable that as recently as August 2007, we were throwing the term "national championship" around. Jake and Mike and Chad all came back for their last year... it was gonna be great.... And then the team started and ended badly, and the 2007 season kind of felt like a waste of everybody's time, right up until the exciting bowl victory over Tebow and Urban Meyer redeemed the year and ushered in the era of un-Lloyd-Ball. That bowl win was a bit like an ice cream dessert that makes you forget the unidentifiable things you just ate at an ethnic restaurant.
Then came the whirlwind. RR was hired. Name-calling and allegations and litigation followed. Players were lost through defection and abandonment. The buy-out was settled. On the field, the Spring Game showed us nothing. Summer camp began and ended in a blur of gee-look-at-all-this-new-found-media-access. Puff-piece videos appeared daily on www.mgoblue.com, and it was there, in retrospect, that the first "real" hints of offensive weakness came to light. I remember some of the defensive linemen talking in August, while joking about their new Barwis-ized performance in the weight room, about how the defensive unit largely embraced the thesis (put forth by pundits and fans) that it would have to hold down opponents' scoring to give Michigan a chance in most games. (Note: as of 11/24/08, we're ranked 90th in scoring defense.)
I've been following Michigan football for almost 35 years. I'll write more about that in Part 2 of this essay, but for now I'll just say that everything in my experience told me, after seeing the Utah and Miami games, that this was going to be a losing season. So I was psychologically prepared quite early for what actually transpired (though not as early as some of you were, I'll admit!). It brought back memories of 1984....
Yes, unfortunately, I remembered that Michigan football had once before run the experiment of "what happens if we have no quarterback who is ready to play at the Division 1-A level?" (Substitute "FCS" or whatever stupid name they have now for 1-A.) In 1984 Jim Harbaugh led the Wolverines to a 3-1 start before breaking his arm while trying to dive on a fumble in the MSU game. Chris Zurbrugg was forced into action at QB. Michigan lost that game and went on to defeat only one team with a winning record (Illinois) the rest of the way. A 7-point loss to BYU in the Holiday Bowl gave Bo his only non-winning season record at 6-6, and gave the Cougars the national championship. Harbaugh, of course, healed up and was subsequently a Heisman finalist.
I realize the game isn't exactly the same as it was 24 years ago, and I realize that the QB position was only one of many issues facing the 2008 team, but the 1984 results still serve as an indicator of what might be expected to happen if the only capable quarterback is lost on an otherwise-intact team. The '84 squad went 3-5 in its last 8 games.
Although we didn't know it in August, the 2008 team lacked basic competency not only at QB, but in everything not involving punting or defensive line penetration. (If you want to quibble about placekicking and kick coverage, fine.) Take away Zoltan the Beneficent and the Graham/Jamison sack/TFL machine, and Michigan doesn't crack the top 50 in any other team statistical category. Given that context, it's actually interesting to contemplate how close this team came to matching 1984's 6-6 record. Three more wins would have done it, and I would argue that there were exactly three losses this year where the outcome hinged on a single play:
- Toledo -- missed 26-yd FG attempt at the end (would have gotten into OT at least)
- Purdue -- kill either the fake punt or the hook-and-ladder, and we probably win
- Northwestern -- if Warren's INT return isn't blown dead, it ties the game and changes the momentum
Knowing what we know now, we can say that 6-6 would have been a pretty good achievement for these guys, and whether or not you buy into the theory of single-play differences, all three of the games just mentioned were well within reach.
That actually gives me some hope for 2009. That, and the return of Zoltan and B-Graham (we hope), who represent the two greatest statistical strength areas of 2008. If the team can focus on and address several of its weakest areas, a 6-6 record seems like a very reasonable expectation next year. There are some major areas where I have doubts, based on present and future personnel, about how much progress can be made before next September: QB and O-Line are the two that come to mind first. I can tolerate quite a bit of upheaval and confusion related to the whole new-coaches/new-scheme situation, but there are a few things that really stick in my craw for 2008:
On Offense
- Turnovers -- 18 fumbles lost, and 12 interceptions?! At Michigan?! Every loss this year went with an even or negative turnover margin. Either the coaches aren't willing to teach basic ball protection techniques, or the players aren't willing to learn them, or else you just have a bunch of young men whose minds are going in so many dozens of different directions that they can't focus on first things first.
- Failure to achieve high tempo. The metric here is the skip-ahead-30-seconds button on the remote control for my DVR. All the emphasis in the late preseason was on conditioning and playing fast in the spread, regardless of the plays being called. Well, I haven't watched the OSU game (and probably won't), but against Northwestern, in the 11th game of the season, the skip-30 button tells me that we were playing significantly slower than the Wildcats through much of the contest. Pressing the button at the end of a Michigan offensive play typically results in the two teams lined up for the next play, with Michigan 3-5 seconds from snapping the ball. Pressing it at the end of a Northwestern offensive play typically results in seeing the next play already in progress, or even finished.
On Defense
- Poor play up the middle. If you, as an offensive coordinator, could devise a handful of plays that required mobile pass coverage by the linebackers and/or required the safety to make a critical coverage or run-support decision or take a particular angle on the ball, you were largely assured some 50-yard gainers against Michigan's defense. We lack consistent Division-1-A-level play at safety.
- Corners rendered ineffective by "schemes." Notre Dame made our coverage scheme look silly by running a one-receiver deep route. Northwestern defeated it (for their final touchdown) by running a 3-man deep flood. There is something fundamentally wrong when you drop 5 guys into coverage on 3 receivers, and then end up with only the two safeties covering those three receivers 20 yards downfield. Trent and Warren are known to be reasonably capable cover guys. There is no way, given the pressure that the front four were able to bring, that this team should have ended up 81st in passing efficiency defense.
On Special Teams
- Turnovers -- see above. We lack a Div. 1-A kick returner.
The outcome for 2009 will depend on how well the glaring deficiencies can be addressed. Fixing the turnover problem and raising the level of QB play to something like basic Big-Ten competency would probably be sufficient to achieve a .500 record. But we won't be back into championship contention until the additional holes at safety and kick returner are plugged, and critical aspects of the offensive and defensive schemes (such as tempo and pass coverage) are really and truly "installed." Continued improvement on the O-Line is also a requirement.
Does Coach Schafer play a guy on Heroes?
We have investigated. Due diligence has been done. And we have reached the inescapable conclusion: Scott Shafer plays that one guy on Heroes.
Here is a picture of that guy from Heroes.
http://www.derok.net/images/entertainment/heroes%20jack%20coleman.jpg (pic of Heroes guy)
Here is a picture of Scott Shafer.
http://vmedia.rivals.com/uploads/883/591128.jpg (pic of Scott)
More evidence: Our defense sucked this year. Does this make any sense? Yes, if your defensive coordinator is moonlighting as an actor on an NBC TV show.
Even further evidence: Heroes also sucks. Really. I tried watching it once, and people's heads were getting sawed open. Seriously! No, I didn't watch after that.
Some hope for the Michigan defense next year: Heroes retooled this year by adding some Villains. Similarly, Michigan just added a guy they sometimes call "Vlad the Impaler". You can see where I am going here. The only problem: Heroes is tanking; see this page http://www.tv.com/story/11705.html. Thus, maybe we need to get more creative. Or hire some people from ABC or Fox. Have you seen Jack Bauer lately?
And Brian, can we get some help here on formatting? For god's sake, I just want to write the darn HTML myself. Instead the big help link below tells me that web page addresses are automatically turned into links. Help!
One final thought about the defense: There is a way not to suck. You see, "Jack Coleman", who is supposedly a different person than Scott Shafer, played one other major role on nighttime TV. You might remember him as Steve Carrington. The show was a hit. And the name of that show? Dynasty.
That's right, Dynasty, motherfuckers. Here we come!
Lloyd Not to Blame for QB Struggles
I read the post "Sunk Costs" and disagreed with the following point on who is to blame for this past season:
"Lloyd Carr put all his eggs in Mallett's basket, leaving Michigan with David Cone as upperclass QBs this year. His recruiting was obviously rotting slowly, too."
Unlike the Drew Henson situation, Lloyd Carr did not put all of his eggs in the Ryan Mallett basket. When Mallett signed in 2006, Jason Forcier was only a redshirt-sophomore and would've had 2 more years of eligibility left if he had stayed. Once Mallett arrived on campus, Forcier decided to bolt for Stanford, something Lloyd could not have planned for. This turned out to be unfortunate for both sides, as Forcier had to sit out last year (there would've been chances for him to play here) and then played hardly at all this season. He could've been a decent QB here and would surely have been a big step up from Threet or Sheridan this season.
Despite this, Lloyd still had a solid backup plan in place. He signed Steven Threet at the start of the 2007 season. Threet was meant to be a solid back-up to Mallett for 2-3 years that could develop into a potential starter by the time he reached his junior year. This can still happen obviously, he was just pushed into the starting role too early. Also important to keep in mind was that before Lloyd announced his retirement he had signed 4 star QB John Wienke from Illinois, a traditional drop-back player who ended up at Iowa after Carr announced his departure (I don't quite recall if it was before or after the Rodriguez hiring). If Wienke had stayed on he probably would've been better than Sheridan at least this year. Mallett bolted after the bowl game.
The QBs this year were clearly not ready, but Lloyd is not at fault. There was attrition out of his control. A running quarterback would have been great this season but that's not the system he ran and he probably never thought Michigan would hire a coach like Rich Rodriguez. This was just an unfortunate result of a drastic regime change.

SWToR is calling and WoW is grating on me lately. I'm taking a break of some sort...have fun Archimonde.
Sad to see you go, not sad to see that it was because we wouldn't bend over and keep taking the dild0 from Ash anymore.
The amount of drama she causes across so many guilds is noted by so many people on this server and you only "stopped having fun" when she was stripped of officer after her hissy fit mid-raid and wasn't given it back.
Everyone knows where your loyalties lie.
P.S let Ash know while she was spamming guild about carrying us as a full clicking healer that needs us to define and explain how to stack properly, we one shot fights that took us 10 attempts last week, and got the full clear with three alts and a tank that's never tanked that fight.
I might be an ^-*!@#$ but at least I'm honest. I like you dude, but seriously? This %^-* is retarded.

If all thats true, i actually take back anything bad i've ever said about your guild and you've earned back any respect i had for you, cause I lost it all when i seen she was in there.
The Christmas spirit demands me to house those in need. Any poor souls who don't have a family to break bread with during the holidays may join our guild and community.
We have a 2k RBG group, many alt raids, Christmas hams, and not to mention we are ranked 15th US 10/25. We toss drama !@#$%s in the dumpster and like sharing naked pictures of our girlfriends.
Also my girlfriend bought me SWTOR for Christmas so I'm gonna play some too. I wonder if I can be GM of two guilds???????
Sad to see you go, not sad to see that it was because we wouldn't bend over and keep taking the dild0 from Ash anymore.
Spug it stopped being fun for me in Firelands on nights when people didn't show up on time and then proceeded to screw up repeatedly on farm content. It stopped being fun for me when we couldn't get the drake run down in Firelands despite being overgeared. I can't dodge clouds or tornadoes for people or get people to sit/kneel on command. It stopped being fun when a power struggle ensued because I had no desire to try to keep control anymore.
Now, not a single person left in that run is one of the originals and I just didn't have the patience or the interest to keep going or keep recruiting especially considering our history of recruits.
I'm glad you guys one shot fights. As demonstrated this week and you full well know, heroics aren't happening unless you replace more people.
I will be playing online less and the time I have right now will go towards SWToR. I only have time for one game with school demanding more of my time next semester.
P.S. I'm not Gamiel but he used to be famous for making quit threads so this one was a salute to him.

On time ? LOL 30min+ late Invites because your running your alts through firelands... Of course people are going to be late. I think in my entire time in this guild and raiding we started on time or close to on time once possibly twice ever. Blaming a firelands achiv fail run when you invited pugs because we did not have the people online that night for it lawls. Last night you made it pretty clear that NONE of this was the real issue. We had 9 of 10 raider at 11:15 and you refused the few changes suggested to you because no one would kiss and make up with ash so she would heal.
Ash was the final straw...I haven't been having fun for over a month. That being said you can bring up all the dirty laundry you want...this will be my last response.

Since this is a bit linked with me healing, i'll take the time to make a response and I know you said you won't respond anymore but I hope you read it.
Even if it sounds painful or it hurts you it's almost a relief that you decided to step out along with Ash. It feels like the air has been freshened up and we can start from a clean slate, why? You were basically the only person in the raid who had a bummed-out attitude most of the time, and we could hear it in your voice day after day. That type of negative attitude, even if you don't believe it, is easily transfered throughout the rest of the team and that wasn't good. After 4.3 hit, day after day you kept posting statuses up relating to the fact that SWTOR is amazing and WoW isn't, that made me sad, considering the fact you recruited me =/ and found myself asking "Do I want to stay here, in a raid where some people aren't motivated for progression?". I was this close to transfering to a horde server with a core spot, but I really love the rest of the raid members; they're all hilarious and light hearted while keeping their game-faces on. If you wouldn't have left, I probably would have transferred already and wouldn't be posting this right now. I appreciate the fact you endured all this for a while, but if you were going to have a downy attitude all the time this was bound to happen and no I don't mean the clothes softner :).
On the side note..
The moment I began losing my respect for Ashalia was when she literally told me she was carrying me throughout all the encounters and to solve/help that problem she told me she had druid-healer friends who'd teach me how to heal; but excuse me.. why would Flaxy be my main and why would I have the courage to post myself on recruitment forums if I had absolutely no idea how to heal, holy !@#$? It didn't hurt (since I knew she was wrong) but I just didn't appreciate it. I don't know where all the hate towards me came from, from her but I'm pretty shocked since I never disrespected her. This is a Game... keyword Game, and we can't too emotional in it or expect compliments or people to hold your hand because you've had a bad day, because no one will care, sorry; we have to work together not individually. Before talking inferiorly to/about a person, look at yourself first. And i'm saying this << because for the first five bosses I healed with Alf .. the fights went smoother than ever, one- shooting them. Agreeing with Spug, yesterday, I didn't expect to get DW down't but damn, our group with three alts and a newbie tank, bosses just fell over dead before we could touch them. I don't know what Kamoz or Magic did but I loved it.
When I told you I never had a problem with females gamers in my life, I meant it but I've never met someone like Ash. Felt like if i'd dare fart in raid, she'd cry, sorry =(
Sorry 4.3 wasn't as you expected but thanks for stepping out, you're one of the most kind-hearted men i've known, good luck on swtor, it looks fun lol :)

Sad to see you go, not sad to see that it was because we wouldn't bend over and keep taking the dild0 from Ash anymore.
I have to preface with "I like you man, but..." because you need a dose of reality.
Leaders have to lead by example. I've lead guilds in WotLK, BC, Vanilla... I know how people follow in the footsteps of the people with authority. As Trawn said, you were one of the worst offenders for not showing up on time, to your own raids. I remember the second raid I ever did with the guild starting 30 minutes late - 30 minutes we sat with 8/10 people waiting for you and Ash to finish an alt run. This happened numerous times and you kind of created your own monster there.
As for people screwing up on farm content, again, if you dont have the balls to reign in your own raid, dont complain about it. The main problem with the raid for the last 3-4 months has been Ash, and you let her alienate every healer we've had in that time while simultaneously aggravating the core of the group because she couldn't understand how to stack on Madness because she was too busy !@#$%ing at Flaxy for not healing the way she wanted her to. Nobody really wanted to be in Firelands that night, we were pugging people for achievements wtf did you expect?
There was no power struggle, Ash rage quit a raid in the middle of a raid and asked to be demoted. Kamo demoted her. Period. She then tried to guilt him for it back, but why would any right minded GM give officer back to someone that stranded a raid in the middle of attempts on Madness and demanded to be demoted? People are supposed to look up to officers, rofl.
Maybe ask yourself why none of the originals are around. The raid atmosphere was cancerous. Ash was seen as untouchable and had you in her back pocket, she made every healer we've had not want to play. You defended her ridiculous and irrational behavior which made the rest of the raid not want to play. We were about to lose 2-3 of our core before she "quit" (which was a cry for attention and a ploy to get her ego stroked) and now we should rebound well.
Heroics will come with time given the fact everyone can actually relax and focus on raiding now instead of playing relationship counselor to you and Ash and worrying about things like Ash having a coronary if anyone mentions WOL ranks.
These forums are used by like 20 people, and I'm sure I Got Aggro will be pleased to see Ash has successfully lived up to her reputation as the biggest drama bag to grace this trash can of a server.

I'm going to wash all the babies clothes tomorrow but I'm not sure what detergent to use. I used Dreft in the beginning with ds but I'm not convinced its worth it. Is there a cheaper, better alternative?
Detergent for baby clothes?
Posted 01/15/2013
We use all free and clear for everyone. Dreft has too many dyes and perfumes for me to be comfortable anyway. I wash everyone's clothes together.

Purex has a baby detergent that is wayyy cheaper.
Posted 01/15/2013
Use purex free and clearclear or all free and clear, doesnt make sense to buy expensive detergent when cheaper stuff does same thing
Posted 01/15/2013
I loooove the way Dreft makes the clothes soooo soft and fluffy. The Purex Baby is almost as good. I have also hound that you can just use less if the Dreft and it goes further.

"Perfect End to a Great Series"
I have been reading these books for a couple of years now, so my anticipations for this book has been considerably shorter than most. Even still, this was a perfect ending to tie the series up. The writing is excellent, the presentation is deeply engaging, and all-told, I couldn't have asked for more.
Mat Cauthon is just awesome.

good but...
It was extremely difficult to put together. It took my dad and I about 7 hours! Some of the black small screws broke, drawers had so many parts that shouldnt have been there in the first place. A simple rail and wheel would do, but instead you got super complicated drawer system. Also, mine had a manufacture defect which required some extra wood removal on one side of the dresser in order for drawers to close properly. Overall, the dresser looks awesome, very heavy and sturdy. Hire a professional to do the job if you canRead More
Beautiful dresser. 7hrs assembly
I did not rate this as excellent over all because of the time consuming assembly. It took me 7 hours in total. The hardest part is the the drawer slides as the instructions are not clear so i had to remove 6 of the 12 once I got the dresser standing and reposition them. Be sure they match on the front and the back and this saves alot of time. Plenty of extra parts...my dog got in to the bag of wooden dowels and destroyed at least a dozen and there were still enough. Holes and centers matched up perfectly. TAKE your time putting this together and take a break from it as you get frustrated. read the instructions and study and follow exactly. Again not clear to me on the drawer slides which took at least and extra hour of time. I love the dresser. Exactly the look I wanted. Drawers are deep and solid and hold alot.. As a previous review mentioned take all parts to the room you will use it in and use a cordless drill. Really glad all of the screws were standard philips or flat.Read More
Very nice product
Beautiful item. Just a bit tedious in assembly but not too complicated.Read More
if you don't panic when you find out it needs assembly, take a deep breath and follow the simple instructions you will find out yjat you have a sturdy,quality piece of furniture.....it was worth the few quirks with the deliveryRead More
very impressed- take your time.
take your time with this one. it arrives in 3 heavy boxes. the instructions and hardware bags are in box 2 of 3. the hardware and parts are all numbered and labeled which makes following the instructions a bit easier. follow the instructions- put everything together in the order they tell you. take your time and give yourself at least 2-3 hours at a leisurely pace. the dresser was going to be housed on the 2nd floor bedroom- so i unpacked all the parts and carried them up before installing. the mdf parts are good quality and the finished product is very sturdy and does not look or feel like an "assembly required" piece of furniture. i laid out all the parts once i understood the sequence. everything went together nicely. the trickier part of this project is understanding the drawer sliders. they come assembled in box "h" in pairs. you will want to remove one at a time and carefully disengage the slider extension placing it back in a bag for later use. (advice: the drawer tracks are well lubricated and a little sticky- disengage and handle with care. i placed in a spare bag until step requiring use.) once that is done and the sliders are installed- (advice: if you are doing the assembly solo- work close to a wall to hold side "c" in place while you attach "b","g","h","f" and "e". it isn't as bad with a little support.) make sure to install all the screws. (advice: if you are good with a drill- use it! save yourself an hour and wrist pain! be careful not to over tighten or the smaller screws may break. if you are not confident in your drilling skills- stick to a screwdriver but add more time.) when the cabinet is assembled, the top goes on fairly smoothly. the next time consuming part is putting all the drawers together. again- lay out your parts so that you can work efficiently. overall- i am really happy with the purchase and it is nothing like other "assembly required" products. event the packaging and parts are superior. i would highly recommend.Read More
Good quality dresser, huge deep drawers
This whole range is 'faux' industrial chic. The whole piece is MDF (although well finished and good quality) made to look like industrial steel and distressed wood. It certainly looks like a faux piece but is still good quality for the money IMO. I put it together myself at 5 months pregnant and WOULD NOT recommend you do so! Balancing the end of the cabinet so you can put the whole thing together is virtually impossible, and the pieces are very heavy, resulting in many bruises and cuts as everything fell! If there is someone to help you it should not take more than 2 hours to put together (make sure you have an electric screwdriver there are A LOT of screws to put into this piece). Once complete this is a large and sturdy piece and I love the depth and size of the drawers, you can fit tons of clothes in this unit.Read More

Our quick review of jewelry chest armoires and jewelry cabinets will help you choose the best one for your jewelry fortune.
Why You Need a Lingerie Chest
You may not know you need one, but adding a lingerie chest to your bedroom has many benefits, from freeing up dresser space to helping you organize your intimates. Designed specifically for undergarments and other delicate items of clothing, these furniture pieces can transform your bedroom. Here are five reasons you may want to invest in a lingerie chest for your own home.
How to Clean a Hope Chest
Most hope chests are made of wood, and many are made from cedar, as this wood naturally offers some protection to its contents against moths and other insects. If you take good care of a hope chest, it can last for generations. An important part of this care is cleaning. Cleaning a hope chest is much like cleaning other types of wood furnishings, including dressers. You should avoid soaking the wood and should, whenever possible, use products specified for use on wood (and safe for the wood's finish).
5 Easy Ways to Wear a Scarf
Finding beautiful scarves is easy. But if you're not sure what to do with them, they may end up sitting in a drawer. Here are five easy ways to tie scarves, so you can get plenty of use out of your collection.
Bookshelves Buying Guide
Despite the name, bookshelves are about more than just shelving books. Bookshelves make versatile solutions as free-standing dry food pantries, open dressers or displays dedicated to your knick-knacks and tchochkes. They quickly convert into china cabinets, media organizers or shoe storage. Whatever the case, the right bookcase goes miles toward making your home into the haven it should be.
How to Store Earrings
If you have a collection of earrings that keep getting tangled, broken or lost, it's time to figure out a way to store and display them. In addition to traditional jewelry boxes, there are simple, inexpensive organizational solutions for the pile of earrings on your dresser. Follow these tips to find (or make) a jewelry holder that will effectively display and protect your earrings.
Best Engraved Men's Jewelry
Personalization has been important since you were a child, when you delighted in adding superhero stickers to your dresser and glow-in-the-dark beads to your bike spokes. As an adult, you can personalize your wardrobe with unique pieces of engraved men's jewelry. Whether you are new to personalized jewelry or you are looking for your next engraved jewelry purchase, these five pieces can inspire you to choose exceptional men's jewelry.
Women's Scarves Buying Guide
One of the easiest ways to update your look is with scarves, but if you're not sure how you're going to wear them, you may not be sure which ones to buy or you may even end up with a drawer full of accessories you never wear. If you're unsure how to buy scarves that you'll love, then this buying guide is for you.
FAQs about Computer Armoires
It's time to buy a computer armoire, but there are so many choices! Do you want a desk, a cabinet, something huge, something small, something with drawers? By deciding which features and functions are important to you, you'll be able to choose a computer armoire that's the perfect complement to your other home office furniture. Keep reading for the answers to all your computer armoire questions.

Pat Quinn on New Rules
I sure hope he's wrong about some of these. This whole "new" NHL stuff is a scary proposition. The game will kinda invent itself, maybe in new ways, maybe in the old ways, just disguised. Interesting speculation.
Great find Guz, I am surprised no one has replied to this.
This is why I am in favor of making the nets bigger. Until teams cannot win by playing a defensive game and clutching and grabbing, it will continue.

Correction staff and others:
Governor Meg Jackson: Catherine McClements (Rush, Tangle, Water Rats)
Deputy Vera Bennett: Kate Atkinson (Offspring, Rush)
Officer Matthew "Fletch" Fletcher: Aaron Jeffery (Underbelly Badness, McLeod's Daughters)
Officer Will Jackson: Robbie Magasiva (Shortland Street)
and progressive and crusading lawyer Erica Davidson: Leeanna Walsman (Underbelly Badness)
Developed by Lara Radulovich and David Hannam the series is described as "a confronting drama set in the pressure cooker environment of a women's prison. The inmates and the corrections staff of Wentworth Detention Centre will be forced to forge unlikely friendships and allegiances if they are to survive on the inside."
The series will be shot on a purpose built prison set in the Melbourne suburb of Clayton and employ in excess of 300 cast and crew. So far none of the original Prisoner cast have been announced in cameo roles, or attached to the project, despite Val Lehman indicating she was keen to return in the role of the Governor.
Foxtel Executive Director of Television Brian Walsh said "Wentworth will be bold Australian storytelling with this remarkable group of actors portraying the rivalries, power struggles and heartbreak of prison life in a drama tailor-made for the subscription television audience."
FremantleMedia Australia Director of Drama and Executive Producer Jo Porter said "Wentworth is a compelling character drama series about women and I'm absolutely thrilled with the superb cast we have assembled to bring them to life."
As one of Australian TV's most iconic soaps, Prisoner has previously been reimagined as a US series and a UK stage musical.
Wentworth will premiere in 2013 only on the SoHo channel. A four month shoot begins in Melbourne next week.
