too late to plant asparagus?
I'm west of Raleigh and would like to plant asparagus roots/crowns now. Is it too late? If not, What types -- heirloom or regular -- grow well here?
ANY advice will be appreciated concerning how to grow.
I moved last year and so I just planted my 1 year old jersey knight crowns 2 weeks ago, they are already sending up spears. Prepare a good deep bed (18 inches deep) with lots of organic matter. If you plant 1 year crowns do not harvest any spears this year and only a few next year. Let the stalks grow to help establish a strong root system and don't cut them back till after a good frost kills them.
The jersey knight strain is all male plants so they dont waste energy trying to go to seed and because it wont set seed it wont self sow and overcrowd your bed.

Practice Bits: Offense
Tips? Hesitant about getting bombed on the message board? Email me.
[Eric Upchurch]
The Harbaugh era seems considerably less paranoid than the previous regime. Practice reports are coming in from a lot more sources than they used to; no doubt this is partially because excitement sees a lot more people on the sideline. I do hear that they're less concerned about "X looks good, tempo is fast" reports getting out.
Tempo is fast, by the way. Harbaugh has brought a high-rep style to practices in an effort to get everything he can out of every countable hour. It is not exactly Oregon hyper-speed where all coaching is done after, in film. It's a lot closer to that than the Hoke-era practices were. A recruit's parent took in a practice and posted about it to a Facebook group, and his impressions match some others I've been sent:
1. Tempo of practice and the philosophy. Very different from last year. 2 sets of scrimmages per field. A play is being ran an avg of 25 to 35 secs. If they went two groups, they would alternate but each group ran a play every 25secs. So ... Coaches saw 2 plays every 30 secs. Ton of reps. Very different from last year. Coaches are coaching very quick between plays. Emphasis on getting the reps in during practice and correcting mistakes in film. Practice was very similar to how Saban runs his practices.
2. There really is competition at EVERYTHING. I saw several of these "competitions." A couple examples ... QBs did a "fastest release/ball speed" comp. On command, they had to throw a bullet pass 20yds. Malzone looked good. Several races took place today as well but most know about those.
Those were vintage 1990s; these are a lot closer to modern speeds. Michigan is running multiple reps at a time on opposite ends of the field with first and second teams.
(Aside: I can't help but draw a line between Hoke's deliberate practice pace and his program's inability to operate at any other speed.)
Practices have also been extremely long. How one practice can be longer than another when NCAA maximums are mandated for everyone is unclear; possible that Hoke was spending some of his countable hours in other ways? That seems highly improbable, but so do Michigan's results the past couple years.
Harbaugh bein' Harbaugh
When practice was over Harbaugh brought the team around him and awarded the day to the defense. As a reward he told them they had to run while the offense watched because "here, the winners are the ones that earn the opportunity to get better."
Quarterback Battle Royale
Whether it's the WWE kind or the Quentin-Tarantino-porn that is way better than the Hunger Games, what Michigan has on its hands qualifies as such. Jedd Fisch was carefully neutral during his press conference yesterday, as coaches are. He asserted that everyone was even and getting even reps, as coaches do.
But allow your author to read into things some. Fisch on Malzone:
"He's got a lot going on. But he's handled it unbelievably well. He's unbelievable in terms of his ability to not let things bother him. To be consistent and play the game. If a play doesn't go right, he's right back in there for the next one. A short-term memory is phenomenal for a quarterback."
On Speight:
Wilton is a very large man, he's a big guy (at 6-foot-6). He can see everything. He's a pretty good athlete and he throws the ball well. He doesn't seem to have had a ton of experience.
On Morris:
"Shane has a very strong arm, as everybody knows, he spins it well and he just has to understand that, really, that's not the most important thing. If you have a really strong arm, then you have a really strong arm. That's what you have. Now, it's a matter of 'what can you do with it?' How do you utilize it? His skill set and his arm strength are tremendous and he's very comfortable. It's fun to watch him in the huddle, he has a really good command of what we're asking him to do."
The tweets that captured small sections of the fuller quotes came off more negative towards Morris, highlighting "unbelievable" for Malzone and "throw it at the person" for Morris. It was more neutral than that. Via Maize and Blue News:
Even so, the overall vibe from that presser seemed to confirm reports floating around at Scout, Rivals, and in my inbox: there's considerable debate about who looks better between Malzone and Speight… and there ends the debate. Scout's observers tend to like Malzone. Rivals's like Speight. Malzone is reportedly adjusting to the size of the players in front of him; Speight doesn't have that issue and is a year ahead of Malzone in terms of college prep.
Early days obviously, but it feels like the QB race is two horses with Morris lagging behind. Gentry and maybe Rudock are yet to enter.
Tailback Battle Royale
See above in re: term. Tyrone Wheatley has a lot of options here and is doing a lot of correcting in drills. Will be interesting to see if there's a performance differential there. The latest practice video from the department features Wheatley heavily if you'd like to hear him talk some.
Most of these guys look like they've looked. Johnson's out; Smith may be a hair faster; it's tough to tell if Green's vision problems are any better in this context. (Most people observing practice do so from the sideline, where holes are not always visible.)
There is the new guy, of course. Ty Isaac is "huge" and "could be a linebacker." He injured a finger somewhat badly in one practice but shrugged it off to continue with drills. This undoubtedly earned him some Harbaugh toughness brownie points. (He did sit out some on subsequent days.)
H-back/TE wazoos
Chase Winovich is at least practicing there…
Rt when you see it pic.twitter.com/1FfBEqacoI
— Chase Winovich (@CCWino58) March 11, 2015
…and while Harbaugh seemed pretty dismissive about supposed position moves earlier this spring, they are looking at him there. When I fretted that this didn't make a lot of sense given the seeming surplus at H-back, Ace reminded me that Harbaugh switched guys around like mad at Stanford. Doug Baldwin played both ways; Owen Marecic played both ways. Harbaugh loves to experiment, and when he finds a Football Player that guy tends to Play A Lot Of Football. Possibly the same dynamic here.
Because man does Michigan need something above and beyond Butt/Bunting/Hill/Shallman/Houma? And Pallante? And apparently Henry Poggi?
Is it possible Winovich is getting a legit look at tailback? I doubt it but it's not like Michigan's not looking for options there.
It seems clear that Michigan has a relatively set front seven with a lot of depth at three-tech and some at linebacker. So they're taking the opportunity to test out anyone who may be an effective manballer.
FWIW, Ian Bunting looks promising but could still use some more weight on his frame if he's going to be a true dual-threat at the TE spot. When asked to catch the ball he looks "terrific," with the kind of wingspan that will remind you of Funchess "plus a couple inches." Hands are reputed to be excellent. Sam cited him as a potential breakout player.
Sione Houma has been held out with an injury, FWIW.
Receiver Battle… somewhat Royale
Drake Harris exists! He is full go in practice after like two straight years of hamstring doom. Reports alternate between impressive play and extreme skinniness. I believe both; this year will likely be a learning/glaring at hamstring owlishly/getting bigger campaign for him. 247:
There's no doubt about one thing: Harris is going to have to gain some weight in the next six months if he wants to see the field this season. However, the early impressions of him are twofold. One, he's finally 100% healthy and is a full-go at wide receiver. Two, he's been very impressive off the edge and has been a favorite target for a couple of the quarterbacks in early drills.
Harris was kind of a big deal before his leg acted up on him, remember. He was a top-50 prospect who Michigan had to fend off Alabama for after a 2,000 yard junior season.
Other reports are so scattered it's tough to draw conclusions from them. There are a lot of receivers, there are a lot of reps, an observer can easily sink into confirmation bias. At various time's I've heard good things about Ways, Chesson, Norfleet, and Bunting. Darboh's been absent so far and Canteen may still be too small to get off jams; I wouldn't read a whole lot into the former since Darboh is a known quantity.
OL Somewhat Settled(?) Royale
There's significant rotation along the offensive line, as you might expect. Other than the returning starters the biggest threats for playing time are Patrick Kugler, David Dawson, and Logan Tuley-Tillman. Miller and Braden are the returning starters under the most threat.
It is impossible to tell anything about these guys yet, as this is the point in the year when they're at the greatest disadvantage. Having eight real options is excellent, at least.
Chris Fox is still injured. You may remember that he came in after suffering a severe knee injury in his senior year of high school, ballooned up into the 350 range, and hasn't been talked about much subsequently. At least early this spring he was still on crutches. We are rapidly approaching the point where a medical scholarship is the most likely outcome.
Spring Practice Presser 3-10-15: Jedd Fisch
"Everybody good? Yeah? Great. Who's kicking us off?"
I'll kick you off. It's only been a couple of days but what have you seen out of your quarterbacks so far?
"Uh, well, right now we're seeing progress. That's, I think, the first thing we're looking for is how they've picked up what we've asked them to do. We've seen them now- this is what, practice four? But it's been 16 hours on the field so we've had a lot of repetitions and we've been able to do a ton of drill work with them and been able to watch them kind of pick up the system the best they can at this point. I think there's some really good progress in terms of command at the line of scrimmage. I think there's good progress in terms of understanding the offense. Now it's a matter of slowing the game down for them, and that's what our next step is."
How do you slow it down?
"I would say that slowing it down comes from knowledge, number one. Number two, it comes from experience, and then three, it comes from some form of comfort level. Right now their knowledge in terms of what we're asking them to do is still growing and it's kind of not where we want it to be yet in terms of you'd love to always fast forward the process but right now the process is what it is. In terms of experience they have none in the system and the really don't have much college football playing experience, but with us they've had four days of experience. And finally, as we continue to go through this process and give them opportunities I think we'll see them continue to develop every day and that will slow the game down for them."
You mentioned progress. How long of a road do they have to get where you want them to go?
"I think that we're certainly in a situation where we don't play for a while, so that's good. We've got 11 more practices, so that's really good, and then we've got a big summer where they can really grind themselves. I'm a huge believer in that philosophy of players coaching players. I think that it's huge during this time of the summer when we're not with them that they can really take what we've kind of coached them on and then help each other and really continue to develop one another. And then finally we have training camp and we have all of camp to get ready for opening day. So they've got some time and we're going to use all of it, every second we can, to try and help them improve and be comfortable and then be able to go out there and put us in the best possible position to succeed."
What are the differences you see in the three scholarship guys?
"Well, they certainly do have different skill sets. Wilton is a very large man He's a big guy and he can see everything. He's a pretty good athlete. Throws the ball well. He doesn't seem to have had a ton of experience. I know Shane probably took more reps last year, I would guess, because he was probably the 2. I know he went in one game, two games, whatever and then played the year before also so he's probably had some more practice reps than Wilt has but Wilt makes a lot of nice throws and is a good sized kid.
"Shane has a very strong arm, which everybody knows. He spins it well. He just has to understand that's really not the most important thing. If you have a really strong arm you have a really strong arm. That's what you have. So now it's a matter of what can you do with it? How do you utilize it? So his skill set, you know, his arm strength is tremendous and he has really good- he's very comfortable as a quarterback, so that's fun to watch him in the huddle. He has really good command of what we're asking him to do and Alex- Alex should be a senior in high school right now.
"I know my senior spring I wasn't in college, so I know that he's got a lot going on and he has handled it unbelievably well. He is like- he's unbelievable in terms of his ability to not let things bother him, to be consistent, and to jump right back in and play the game. If a play doesn't go right he's right back in [and] ready for the next one. Short-term memory is phenomenal for a quarterback."

This Week's Obsession: Senior Sendoffs
The Question:
Ace: Since Michigan just had a low-key Senior Day to send off Max Bielfeldt, this seems like a good time to ask: What's your favorite Senior Day memory? (Any sport may apply.)
The Answers:
Dave Nasternak: Back when I was in school—while Football was just starting its decade+ of beatdowns to OSU and Basketball was...well, it was pre-Beilein (mostly)- the place to be for sports in Ann Arbor was Yost. My Senior Day story(s) come from the Ice Hockey team. Hockey in the CCHA was weird. Not bad, but weird. If you were good enough -and Michigan generally was- you hosted a playoff series at home after the regular season had ended. So, while there was Senior Day, there was also Last Game At Yost Day. In the 06-07 year, TJ Hensick's Senior Day came super early.
|Guest starring Jeff Tambellini. Bork!
It was February 3rd. It was the back end of a home-and-home against Western. Michigan won 3-1 but...it was relatively uneventful and everyone knew we'd see the seniors for one last series. They somehow managed to play 3 more series of road or neutral ice games before finally coming back to Yost for the CCHA Quarters. After disposing of Western in Game 1 of a best of 3, we knew Game 2 would be it.
It was really bittersweet for me. I was also a senior and while I hoped to get into Grad School at M, I thought it could be my last game at Yost, as well. TJ Hensick might have been my favorite M athlete when I was in school. He burst onto the scene as a freshman, leading the team in points. He would end up leading the Wolverines in scoring 3 of his 4 years, finishing 2nd in his sophomore year.
After his junior season, I'd read that Hensick was close to signing with the Avs, but decided to give it one more go at Yost. While the year didn't end up the way any Wolverine dreamed, Hensick had another phenomenal year. In his Last Game At Yost, Hensick didn't disappoint. He tallied 4 points, 3 of them being goals for his only career hatrick at home (I'm pretty sure). Michigan won very comfortably, 8-3. While Michigan has had a handful of great players since -Porter, Kolarik, Hagelin, Hunwick, now Hyman- there hasn't been another Mighty Mite center (especially with that kind of puck control) since. I taped Hensick's Last Game At Yost (on VHS!!) and later converted it to dvd. I still get a little choked up, watching it.
A season later, Kevin Porter's last series at Yost was also a weekend to remember, including The Day That Yost Changed. My bronze medalist might be Chris Perry's Senior Day, as I made it onto the field as a wide-eyed freshman...but I'll leave those games for someone else.

Jake Rudock Transferring, Michigan An Option
There's been a lot of chatter about this from the Iowa side of things, but this is the first time I've seen anyone Report it:
QB Jake Rudock, who started 2 yrs at #Iowa, is transferring. He will visit #Michigan next wk,source told @FOXSports. As a grad, is elig. now
— Bruce Feldman (@BruceFeldmanCFB) March 11, 2015
Rudock was yanked around late last year as Iowa debated going with CJ Beathard, then eventually tried him. A typical post-game quote from Rudock last year:
"I wish I didn't throw a pick in the red zone," the Iowa quarterback said after a 37-34 loss in overtime.
/pulls collar
Rudock was hardly alone as a struggling member of Iowa's offense under Greg Davis, though. And… like… despite being thoroughly benched late, Rudock was the third-most efficient passer in the Big Ten(!) last year. I need that youtube clip of me losing my mind over some BIG TEN(!) fact right now, because that is a very very BIG TEN(!) fact.
But I mean, there it is: 60% completions, 11:3 TD-INT, 7.6 YPA. Numbers that look amazing next to Devin Gardner's 60%, 5:9, 6.3, let alone Shane Morris's career numbers. While being coached by a guy who is a bit less good at football coaching than Jim Harbaugh is. And he's available for deployment this fall. As a no-downside grad transfer. I'll take it.
I've heard that Michigan is indeed Rudock's desired destination. Unless Harbaugh tries to play catch with him, it's probably happening.
Spring Practice Presser 3-10-15: Tyrone Wheatley
Everything good?
"Everything's great. Enjoying myself."
What's caught your eye the most about your running backs?
"Talented group. Real talented. They haven't even scratched the surface. That's really what has caught my eye, so right now I'm kind of like an artist with a blank canvas. I can just have at it. That's really what it feels like."
What's it been like for you to be back here as a coach?
"Haven't really thought about it to be honest, because my focus is Big Ten championship, national championship, 2000-yard rusher, so my days here haven't really – and I've been the type of person once I left here, I left here. I was onto better things, things that this place had catapulted me on to do. That's where my mindset was. But now I'm back for a totally different reason, so… you know, I'm a coach."
We haven't talked with you since your son signed with the University of Michigan. Talk about that aspect of having him join you here.
"Well, it's a great thing. As a father you're always happy for your child and his success and the things that he's done, but once again, I'm just focused on the guys that are here right now and when he gets here he'll have his fair time. He'll have his time to get it, but right now my focus is on the guys that are here."
Were you getting a little bit of a better feel for them today with them having the pads on?
"Not really. You can understand who they are even without the pads. The pads is just kind of one of the things a) that shows the physicality and b) if they are in hitting shape and that type of deal. As far as the feel, watching film of those guys and studying them I kind of already had a feel for who they were."
We haven't had a chance to see Ty Isaac with him sitting out last year. What does he bring different than the other guys in terms of style and things like that?
"I don't think it's just Ty Isaac being different. Each guy brings a different aspect to the game. I'd just say that probably – I wouldn't say probably, he is the largest one out of the bunch. But in terms of difference, that would probably be it just about him being different – [he's] bigger. He has great feet, good vision, he's a smooth runner but I wouldn't say he's any different than any other guy."
[After THE JUMP: the characteristics of an ideal Tyrone Wheatley-coached back]
Unverified Voracity Plays Catch
As the Harbaugh turns. There were two main appeals to Jim Harbaugh as Michigan coach. One: he wins a lot. Two: he makes things interesting. After the last couple years, when the only interesting thing was finding out just how incompetent an offense can be, that latter is a breath of fresh air.
Harbaugh's swooping down upon injured people by the roadside, he's getting tweeted at by Judge Judy, and then he's… uh…
False alarm. Harbaugh was just out there making fine distinctions between classes of lions:
"The A's to me, the way they compete, the team, the different way they think, they are jungle lions," said Harbaugh, who also coached at Stanford before joining the 49ers. "Zoo lions get tired of zebra after a while and want filet mignon. Not jungle lions."
No one ask him about the Detroit variety.
Oh, and if you're worried that he's slacking off because you're a crazy person:
"He's quite the competitor and a winner. We've been trying to work this out for a long time, but the day after he left the 49ers he was out recruiting for Michigan. There hasn't been that much time."
We get the crazies around here some.
Like the head coach. File under "too good to check." This story from around 2000 involves Harbaugh wanting to throw the ball around with some girls at Dominicks. An observer feels this is flirting until…
He said to the first girl, "keep your hands up, thumbs down," and he showed her the proper motion with his own hands. When she didn't get quite right, he grabbed her wrists and showed her how to position her hands. He then paced off 15 yards, held the ball in front of him, squatted like he was under center, patted the ball hard, took three hard steps back, planted his back leg and fired the ball at the first girl. As he let the ball go, you could hear it click as his fingernails hit the ball and, I shit you not, as the ball whizzed through the air you could hear it ssssssssssss… THUNK! It hit the girl in the shoulder and knocked her down. Jim wadn't playin'.
"Come on, let's go!" Jim barked. While Girl #1 picked herself up, Girl#2 gamely grabbed the ball and lobbed it back. Again, Jim got in his QB squat, smacked the ball, did a hard three-step drop-back and fired the ball at Girl#3, she ducked but the ball hit off the top of her head and went into the street. Girl#2 ran after it while Girl#3 sat on the ground rubbing her head. When Girl#2's throw back to Jim was short, Jim got a bit annoyed, and set the girls up in a relay so that two girls were about 25 yards away, and the third girl was halfway in between so that that girls could throw to her, and she would run the ball to Jim. For the next 5-10 minutes, he was firing balls at these two poor girls, knocking them down or hitting them in the face about half the time. He was 100% oblivious.
…until it becomes clear that the only context in which Harbaugh has ever heard the word "flirt" is immediately preceding "…ing with disaster," and associates it with throwing over the middle late.
Bo post OSU, 1986. Dr. Sap is a treasure:
I'm going to find that high school teacher and tell her what a grave mistake she made almost twenty years ago. Long story short, wrote a funny ha-ha paper that would no doubt make me cringe today, teacher gave it a nice grade and wrote on it something along the lines of "you could be the next Mitch Albom!"

— Alejandro Zúñiga (@ByAZuniga) March 8, 2015
I feel another "what the hell were people thinking not recruiting Aubrey Dawkins" podcast segment is in our future. Also I accidentally typed his last name "Dakwins," which is either Andrew Dakich's rapper alter-ego… or his dad's.
Fisch's contract. Interesting piece by a 247 board member on Jedd Fisch's contract, which is relatively paltry compared to the rest of the staff's… and only for one year. Why:
Since Fisch was fired with a year remaining on his Jaguars contract, Michigan found themselves in an odd position with him. It's somewhat uncommon to see a coach simultaneously drop in both level of sport and title, but Fisch went from the NFL to college and from OC to a position coach. Thus, even if Michigan were to make Fisch the highest-paid position coach in college football, it's unlikely he'd even approach his NFL salary. From a financial standpoint, it pretty much doesn't matter to Fisch what his Michigan salary is – in 2015, he'll be getting the Jacksonville money either way. From Michigan's side, Michigan now has motivation to pay Fisch as little as possible, since they still get the full benefit of Fisch's services, while the Jaguars have to pick up the tab. Fisch doesn't care, so the only real obstacle to Michigan paying Fisch $1 for the year would be the Jaguars.
Michigan gave him something plausible—200k, just over what JayBaugh is making. Otherwise he'd be making in the 300-400 range the rest of the staff is, especially with the "passing game coordinator" title.
This is a nice change from the previous regime. Brandon paid way over the market for Hoke and then did the same with Borges, giving him a ludicrous bump after his first year. (One that ended with Michigan gaining fewer than 200 yards, remember.) He paid people to make them look like they were good ideas. Now Michigan is saving money where it can, like on Fisch's contract, so it can pay the right amount of money to people who are likely worth it.
Something something master… slingers? I'll work on it. 6'10" German F Moritz Wagner was at Crisler over the weekend, hanging with the governor:

"He's a versatile kid who knows how to play ball," a NBA scout that has evaluated him multiple times told Scout. "He's not an athlete, but with his length and coordination he manages to deceive his opponents and get to the rack quite easily. Once he becomes a more consistent shooter he will be a nightmare on the wing."
"He reads the game well, gets his teammates involved and is unselfish player,"
Sounds a bit like Chatman, actually.
Hackett on Project Unicorn. This is a very smart section of his radio interview:
"It was more about "What did the institution need?"," Hackett said. "It can't afford to experiment a lot more. If you look at the last seven years going back to Rich Rod's arrival, there was a seven year period where these were experiments that we weren't sure were going to turn out. There was a gradual decay of "something" because of that. You can call that "winning", you can call that "fan support", you can call it "enthusiasm for Michigan's history". This is the winningest program ever in this sport and it carried the day for a long time. It wasn't behaving that way now though. That Sunday night (after the Ohio State game) I called the President and told him that I don't think we can experiment anymore."
The rest is history.
Etc.: Tom Crean and Indiana fans aren't really having a good time together. I almost feel bad for the guy. The Aubrey Dawkins show.
The Bielfeldt Conundrum
[Bryan Fuller/MGoBlog]
Entering the season, Michigan expected Max Bielfeldt to reprise his role as the "break glass in case of emergency" third center for one last year before wishing him well in his future endeavors. Instead, Bielfeldt played his way ahead of Mark Donnal—more than doubling Donnal's minutes in conference play—and produced a little more on offense than starter Ricky Doyle.
With, for now, one scholarship open for 2015-16, it's no longer a certainty that Bielfeldt will move on from the program, even though he went through Senior Day festivities last weekend. The Daily's Lev Facher wrote yesterday that John Beilein hasn't ruled out a return...
"I would like him to go out and explore some options," Beilein said. "We'll look at some options and decide whether it's a good option (for Bielfeldt) to come back."
...and neither has Bielfeldt, who acknowledges the choice largely lies with Beilein:
"Honestly, I don't know," Bielfeldt said. "Family and friends ask me the same thing — I give them the same answer. I really don't know. I just like knowing what my options are. I'm obviously just going to look for options and kinda weigh them out."
This raises the obvious question: Is it a good idea to bring Bielfeldt back? The answer isn't as simple as it may appear.
|Michigan's pursuit of 2015 German forward Moritz Wagner may preclude Bielfeldt's return. [Fuller]
Caris LeVert's upcoming decision could play a huge role in Michigan's choice regarding Bielfeldt. Despite his injury, LeVert is still projected to go in the first round by both DraftExpress (#18) and Chad Ford (#30), but over the last month there's been increased optimism that he'll return for his senior season.
A LeVert return would put Michigan one scholarship away from the 13-man limit—before counting Bielfeldt. That makes the decision-making process more clear-cut.
Michigan hosted 6'10" German forward Mortiz Wagner for a visit last weekend. Wagner, who'd be a freshman in 2015-16, is reportedly leaning towards college ball over playing professionally, and Sam Webb expects Michigan will be the choice if he takes the collegiate route ($). Beilein isn't going to turn down a potential four years from a talented prospect for one more season of a backup-quality player, even if Wagner is much more wing than post.
The Wolverines are also reportedly one of several schools in pursuit of Seton Hall transfer Jaren Sina, who'll sit 2015-16 due to NCAA transfer rules before playing out his final two seasons of eligibility. Given how active Michigan got with both late-emerging recruits (MAAR, Dawkins) and transfer candidates (Cole Huff) after the end of last season, it wouldn't surprise to see even more names emerge if the Wagner recruitment falls through.
What seems clear is that Beilein is keeping the possibility of a Bielfeldt return open as a backup plan, which to me is the approach that makes the most sense. Doyle and Donnal will be better next year—and hopefully less plagued by illness—while DJ Wilson, after plenty of time in the weight and film rooms, should be able to provide spot minutes at the five. Ideally, at least two of those three would progress to the point where Beilein wouldn't need to call on Bielfeldt for significant minutes.
While Bielfeldt's play down the stretch was a pleasant surprise, he still doesn't project as more than an ancillary player on a good team—life is tough for a 6'7" post that doesn't possess game-changing athleticism. Even if LeVert goes pro, it might be best for both parties to look at other options; Bielfeldt could see a larger role at a smaller school (or get his post-basketball career started) while Michigan could continue building for the future. If all else falls through, however, Bielfeldt is a nice fallback plan if he wants to return; he's proven he can be a contributor on this team.

I realize Strobel got one. Find a better photo then, pickers of nits.
This has to be talked about. Hoke left a roster that was in relatively good shape considering all the highly rated players who had to stick through some awful program degradation. He signed good classes, and those classes have by and large stuck around and fulfilled their academic duties. But an inordinate amount of them inexplicably didn't redshirt, and because of this there are some holes on the horizon.
I'm sure there are explanations in many of these cases that we are not party to. It's only the sheer volume of head-scratching non-redshirts under Hoke that gives us reason to call all of them into question. Like how I'm sure there are legit medical hardship waivers that occur at Alabama but [graph].
Some guys the coaches were forced to play early, and there's no need to discuss them beyond a mention as such, e.g. Jabrill Peppers. Mason Cole outcompeted a pile of guys to start at left tackle last season. That sort of thing gets a full pass. Beyond that, I've broken each Hoke class into categories of increasing argh:
- WTF. Wasting redshirts on special teams and dime back when last year's dime back is on the bench.
- Pick ONE. Needed bodies at this position, but not all the bodies. Battles for 2nd on the depth chart should be resolved in time for the ultimate loser to have a 5th year as consolation.
- Need the dudes (and other things I don't blame on the coaches). Immediate starters or guys who played because Michigan sorely needed his body and his pulse at that position.
Names that should have redshirted are in red.
Class of 2011
Did you really need both, 2011? [Upchurch]
Hoke arrived to an offensive machine with two years of eligibility remaining, and a nightmare defense of guys who couldn't displace recent departures like Jonas Mouton, Ray Vinopal, Adam Patterson, Greg Banks, and James Rogers. The immediate need was obvious and Hoke rightfully set about recruiting freshmen who could fill those roles. So I'll give him a pass for some of it.
|Hollowell's 2011 contribution was more than scooping up a fumbled kickoff against VT, but it was also more than Ray Taylor's. [Melanie Maxwell|AnnArbor.com]
Wtf: None.
Pick ONE
Raymon Taylor and Delonte Hollowell. The year following the Never Forget defensive backfield, Hoke recruited five likely cornerbacks: Blake Countess, Raymon Taylor, Delonte Hollowell, Tamani Carter (redshirted, transferred before 2012), and Greg Brown (early enrollee, transferred before 2011 season). The roster still had J.T. Floyd, Courtney Avery and Terrence Talbott (left program summer before 2012 season), available. In a pinch, Troy Woolfolk could have converted back when Thomas Gordon won the free safety job. At least one, and probably two true freshmen would have to play.
It immediately became apparent that one would be Countess. So to fill out the two deep they would need to burn Taylor or Hollowell's shirt. Hollowell arrived as the quintessential Cass Tech mite corner. The guy was 164 pounds, but saw some action at dime back vs. Nebraska, and recovered the fumble at the end of the first half. Taylor had two tackles and a personal foul.
Brennen Beyer and Frank Clark. Going into the season Beyer was a SAM and Clark a WDE. The difference between those positions in Michigan's 4-3 under was not very great, particularly because when Beyer was inserted it was for a 5-2 look. The WDE's depth chart was Craig Roh and Jibreel Black; SAM was Jake Ryan and Cam Gordon. The reason I say one would have played anyway is the rush end position has a lot rotation, and Black was already the starter in the nickel formation.
There wasn't much to differentiate the two in aggregate play; Beyer was the more consistent, Clark the more explosive. The coaches chose to have them compete through the year instead of preserving one. Had they done so Beyer was the obvious choice despite Clark's higher ceiling. Beyer was smaller and Michigan had Roh to be a more solid edge defender, but only Clark to be a merchant of chaos (remember the Sugar Bowl interception). On the other hand Frank had a rough history before Glenville, and could have used an adjustment season. Either way he would have been dismissed after last year's incident.
Needed dudes etc.
Blake Countess and Desmond Morgan won starting jobs on the 2011 defensive reclamation project. They also both would lose a season to injury so we have them back yay. Thomas Rawls I'm not broken up about, though he will be a pretty good MAC back this year. RBs usually have most of the "it" they ever will as freshmen, and if they do become long-term starters the toll it takes on their bodies means they're often better off moving through their careers early. A redshirt year can make a guy a better blocker, or put some distance between a good back and his heir, or let a smaller guy fill in. Matt Wile is a special pass even though they wasted his redshirt on kickoff duties (and punting during Hagerup's first suspension). I learned recently that Wile made it clear from the start he intended to graduate in four years and do engineering things.

Big Ten '14-'15 Regular Season Wrap
Bo Ryan calmly witnesses a murder (source)
As everyone predicted, Wisconsin ran roughshod through the Big Ten – only tripping up against newcomers Maryland and Rutgers (SERIOUSLY. RUTGERS. HOW.) on the road – winning the league by two games and posting a conference efficiency margin that was 12.5 points / 100 possessions better than the next-best team, Iowa. All hail our Badger overlords. The real validation will have to come in the NCAA Tournament, as Wisconsin will (probably) finally face elite competition there for the first time since early December.
Maryland finished second at 14-4: I'll address the Terrapins later because there's a huge dichotomy between their results and their statistical profile. Iowa, Michigan State, and Purdue each tied for third at 12-6 – fitting second-tier parity, also expected due to Wisconsin's dominance. Ohio State rounds out the group of probable tournament teams with an 11-7 conference record and in sixth place.
The middle tier of the Big Ten effectively cannibalized itself throughout the season; according to the Bracket Matrix as of Monday afternoon, the Big Ten could find three of its best four teams (in my opinion and the opinion of several metrics) in unappealing 7- (Iowa) or 8-seeds (Michigan State, Ohio State). Indiana's hilarious implosion down the stretch put them squarely on the bubble along with Purdue and Illinois; the Big Ten could theoretically get just five of its 14 teams into the tournament, which would be quite disappointing.
In reality, it's been a disappointing year in the conference. Michigan and Nebraska were colossal disappointments; the Wolverines were having a nightmare year before brutal injuries effectively put the season out of its misery and the Huskers had everybody back from a tournament team last year and were… inexplicably terrible. Wisconsin is the league's only top-15 team in Pomeroy's algorithm and the league's second-place team, Maryland, finished just 32nd.
After four years as Pomeroy's top conference, the Big Ten backslid to fourth behind the Big XII, the old Big East, and the ACC. And honestly, we can't even blame Rutgers for that.
* * *
I guess I'll get this next part out of the way early -- as our Dear Leader often says, the strictures and conventions of sportswriting compel me to do this:
These things are really subjective and my vote literally doesn't count for anything. If you have any complaints or disagreements, please meet me on the Diag at 3:00 A.M. tonight to let me know those concerns so I may better my arbitrary award judgment in the future.
(I did have to put Aubrey Dawkins on there because he's fire from range and BOFA'd Nnanna Egwu that one time, even if he has a Stauskasesque indifference towards defense.)
* * *
Since I'm an advanced stats guy, I think conference-wide efficiency margin tells the story as well as anything else. Big surprise: Wisconsin's way out ahead of everyone else.
Maryland (UMD) is sixth! Why is UMD sixth? HOT TAKE ALERT: Maryland isn't that great. Even though their defense was best in the league by a slight margin over Purdue, their offense finished tenth and their efficiency margin was dragged down by it. Sure, they swept Michigan State and handed Wisconsin one of its only two losses, but the Terps notably struggled in some gimmie games – without losing: they were tied with Rutgers with three minutes left at home; they needed an improbably comeback and difficult buzzer-beater to beat Northwestern at home; Penn State was within one possession of Maryland in College Park with 2 minutes left; they swept Nebraska, but by a combined seven points.
While it's important to note that Maryland did win all those games, it does reflect a sort of weakness. Very good teams don't routinely struggle at home against bad ones, and even though the Terps avoided big upsets, those results imply that a) Maryland isn't as good as its record and b) they're especially vulnerable, at least relative to their perception. They're currently ranked 8th and are in line for a 3-seed; they're 25th in Sagarin and 32nd in Kenpom. Kenpom also has a "Luck" stat – which essentially highlights the difference between a team's actual and expected results – and Maryland is first out of 351 teams nationally. Don't be surprised if there's a seemingly harsh regression to the mean next year.
Over the season, I created the "Game Score" metric, which essentially normalizes a team's performance based on their opponent's average on both the offensive and defensive ends. For example, an offensive game score of zero would be an efficiency mark that's equal to an opponent's average defensive efficiency and a defensive game score of one would be holding that opponent to one standard deviation below their normal offensive output. The total game score would be one. It's an intuitive metric, and it spits out these results:
Click on images to enlarge; the scatterplot's x-axis (offense) is – 1 > x > 1, the y-axis (defense) is –5 > y > 5. The question mark pattern in the scatterplot is indicative of the mystery of the Big Ten's bloated middle, or something.

Goal-by-Goal Analysis: Penn State
Friday, March 6, 2015
Penn State 6 Michigan 4
1st period
PSU 1 UM 0 EV 03:13 Scheid from Richard and Conway
Penn State chips the puck in and chases. Zach Werenski loses a battle along the boards behind the net, leaving Scheid with the puck. As he takes off up the boards Kevin Lohan skates behind the net to cover.
Dylan Richard starts skating to the net while Scheid turns behind him. It isn't quite a pick, but it (apparently) is enough of a diversion to wreak havoc.
Lohan makes an intelligent coverage switch to cover Richard. Scheid shoots, however, and beats Racine five-hole. This kind of goal (read: soft) is the reason no one has been able to win the starting role. It's the goaltender problem in microcosm.

ClassicsOnline Home » LEVY, M.D.: Masada / Canto de los Marranos (BBC Singers, Barcelona Symphony and Catalonia National Orchestra, Kiesler, Y. Levi) > Review List
The legendary defense of the desert fortress Masada bt a small band of Jewish Zealots against a massive Roman army inspires awe nearly 2,000 years after the historical occurrence. Marvin David Levy's dramatic retelling of the Masada story, originally written for the great ooperatic tenor and cantor Richard Tucker, here receives its world-premiere recording. Also recorded by the Milken Archive for the first time is Levy's haunting Canto de los Marranos, a dramatic scene for soprano (in four languages: English, Ladino, Hebrew, and Latin) that reveals the passions and conflicts of the 15th-century Spanish Jews who outwardly converted to Christianity while secretly practicing their Jewish beliefs "under penalty of death."

This study examined the roles of nerve growth factor (NGF) and the p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) in the growth of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) central processes in the dorsal horn. Two genetically modified mouse strains were used: transgenic mice that overexpress NGF in the CNS under the control of the glial fibrillary acidic protein promoter, and p75NTR exon III null mutant mice that express a hypomorphic form of this receptor. In both NGF transgenic and nontransgenic mice with hypomorphic expression of p75NTR, there is a significant loss of DRG neurons compared to mice with normal p75NTR expression. This reduction in neuron number has been shown to underlie a corresponding decrease in peripheral nociceptive sensory innervation. Within the CNS, however, nociceptive innervation of the dorsal horn appears to be unaffected by hypomorphic expression of p75NTR. Comparisons of calcitonin gene-related peptide immunoreactivity in the dorsal horn revealed that the area occupied by DRG central processes was not significantly different between p75NTR hypomorphic mice and wild-type siblings, or between NGF transgenic mice with either hypomorphic or normal expression of p75NTR. We propose that DRG central processes arborize extensively in both NGF-transgenic and nontransgenic p75NTR hypomorphic mice in order to compensate for the loss of DRG neurons and restore dorsal horn innervation to normal levels. We also present evidence suggesting that NGF plays only a minor role in the growth of DRG central processes.

Police detained him after firing tear gas shells and resorting to lathicharge on his supporters. The action came after government and the 46-year-old Yoga Guru had accused each other the previous night of betrayal on mutual assurances.

Vande Matram!
The 'it has gone', reminds me of the historic event of the year 1857, it took 90 more years to get the freedom from then to Bharat.. Still it was fight against british.. so all Bahrtiya were united.
As of now, .. teh governance is the same.. their norms are anti Bharat.. as we saw past mid night on june05/early morning june o5 2011, at Ramlila Ground in Delhi… how Hindu /Bhartiya in Bharat treated mercilessly..
Only Hindus are treated this way… Neither Christians Nor Muslims… the grave danger si only to Hindus In Bharat.. !!
There is no way the present constitution & members of Governance, armed with the present/prevailing bureaucrats, will ever act to ware the "Bell" in their neck…
Now is the right time to do the following:
1)Under the Banner of Hindu Jan-Jagruti Samiti ( HJS) Let us all Hindus Unite to VOTE OUT the present Governance, Bureaucrats & constitution to be replaced with the Hindu Aachar Samhita
2) Until this happen, Stop paying all Kinds of tax to the present governance in a form of peace-full agitation in terms of money. Such that they feel the pinch poverty & be helpless to run their own system even if they print more money…
3) When the Governance come out with the help of bureaucrats, Strip the members of their team off their cloths in a form of a MOB in the ratio of 1 to 10 & set them free without hurting them.. till they get scared to act again for such cause
4) Feel privileged & collectively accept prison-shelter & support prisoners till the government get tired to bear the burden of the number strength That they be help-less
5) We need to run such show until the next election that the newly elected people be Pro-Hindu..
Let us win win this battle for the Atma-Dharma-Rashtra Raksha
Jai Hind..

Half of Two Parties was so good -- like, series-highlight, disappointed-in-the-middle-of-the-episode-that-there-were-only-so-many-minutes-left, waiting-for-this-premise-to-turn-into-a-feature-length-movie good. The other half felt oversaturated, rushed and disorganized, and a waste of Donna with a male stripper and Leslie, Ann and April surrounded by penises and alcohol.
I think a big problem with the bachelorette party side of things is that Parks and Recreation suffered from its scheduling; because the hiatus was so long, I'd forgotten pretty major plotlines at best, and at worst felt like we were digging up sacred Wamapoke artifacts just for the sake of burying them again... so to speak. I also feel like we've already established that Ken Hotate respects Leslie Knope and, when push comes to shove, is a decent guy -- I'm not really sure taking a whole story arc to draw him as a stronger ally was really necessary (especially under the thin veil of bringing together the white people of Pawnee and the Wamapoke tribe). Same goes for Councilman Jamm and the woman from Paunch Burger -- we know they're underhanded and shameless, so dedicating all of this time to them felt like overkill. Maybe this episode was for new viewers who the writers are trying to cater to in order to establish Pawnee and the world of Parks & Rec in hopes of better ratings and, in turn, a Season 6. Now, there's something I can get on board with.
But for us diehard fans, let's grade everyone. And welcome back!
The Lucky Mary Todd, Ann, April and Donna: C
So rather than what April and I would have liked -- one of those cool bachelorette parties where things get out of control and they murder someone and have to make a blood oath to never reveal their secret -- we got this. I don't want to beat a dead horse, so I will say I thoroughly enjoyed watching April thrive when everyone else is miserable ("Don't be afraid! Use the penises!"), Ann failing to bond with April and the important info that Leslie takes her coffee with extra cream and 30 sugars.
Leslie's Best Line of the Night: "Historically, Pawnee's relationship with the Wamapoke has been more... murdery." (Nice use of mural here!)
Ann's Best Line of the Night: "As Leslie's Maid of Honor, I really need her bachelorette party to go well... which is why I'm stress-eating gummi penises."
April's Best Line of the Night: (After Leslie says her dream is dead.) "Mine too! This is why I prefer nightmares."
Donna's Best Line of the Night: "All right, tear it up, 16. Emancipate them abs!"
Ben, Andy, Ron, Jerry, Tom and Chris: A+
Where do I begin? I guess first of all, I'm thankful that Jerry forced his way into this and that Ben was so cool with splitting up his bachelor party -- I never realized how complicated of a history these characters have with marriage. The locations for each celebration was spot-on, especially the following tidbits: Of course Ben is a nationally ranked Settlers of Catan player (best game EVER, though I will point out that there were too many players to be using a non-expansion pack version of the game) and that he thought Part 2 of the night would be sitting around watching DVR'd episodes of Homeland since strippers make him sad; the cotton candy in a glass and the bartender putting Scotch lotion on Ron's hands at Tom's event; that the guys driving to Muncie for Jerry's ice cream parlor fun, where Ben jumped on the opportunity to find out why Gayle ever chose to be with him and Ron got ice cream all up in his mustache; absolutely everything about the Colts game, especially that Andy did a great job; the car ride to St. Elmo's Steakhouse, where we got the perfect callback to Benji's Cool Times Summer Jamz Mix; and then the steakhouse itself where we were graced with an Entertainment 720 reunion, complete with Roy Hibbert calling Ben "Jell-O Shot." This episode was all about the boys being nice to each other and having fun, and even if Shauna Malwae-Tweep is historically not my favorite character on this show, if she works with Chris, I'm completely fine with them getting together at this point.
Ben's Best Line of the Night: "We're surrounded by hot guys!"
Andy's Best Lines of the Night: He gets two, though for the record, I like the former better: "I didn't even have time to take a shower before my wedding... or after! For like a week and a half!" and "Maybe it's April. Maybe I die -- skydiving explosion -- and then you go marry April. And it makes me sad but if she's gonna be with somebody, I'd like it to be you... Only I didn't really die. I was faking it. And I come back. I spy on you from my red Corvette and I'm planning to kick your ass. But I see how happy you make her. And I have to walk away, I have to. And I do... slowly, in a rainstorm... But as time goes by, it eats away at me -- you're out living it up with my wife and I'm alone in a cave training... I thought you were my friend! I THOUGHT YOU WERE MY FRIEND!"
Ron's Best Lines of the Night: He gets two also: "Son, there's no wrong way to consume alcohol," and "I'm going to be very candid with you all: I like her."
Jerry's Best Line of the Night: "You know, I met Gayle right here at Sherm's. She was slender, blonde hair, big breasts, long legs... not my type at all."
Tom's Best Line of the Night: "Boop! That's me hitting the snooze button. Don't talk again for another ten minutes!"
Chris's Best Line of the Night: My favorite speech of the night, which literally gave me goosebumps because I'm such a fangirl: "To Ron."
Honorable mentions: Ken Hotate was not without his moments -- I cracked up at "Our Slots are Downright Filthy" (especially April's response about it being a slam-dunk); Councilman Jamm in the headdress was pretty fantastic; we should all be thankful for Things magazine for recommending Essence in the first place; Glenn a.k.a. Babe Lincoln for still rocking the clarinet and working for his money; Sherm for calling Jerry by his birth name and always making a backup cone; the Colts' Andrew Luck, Reggie Wayne and Jim Irsay and the aforementioned Roy Hibbert, natch; John doing the Lord's work at the steakhouse (I guess I should thank Newt Gingrich, but his cameo was weirdly out of place and generally useless, right?); the non-XXL Ben's Bachelor Party "Board Game Madness" t-shirts which I'm sure are already for sale in the NBC Store; and the burger-eating "Tweeped" Shauna Malwae-Tweep, who does, in fact, have dimples. And hey, anyone else notice that both Parks & Rec and 30 Rock had jokes about Grease this week? Conspiracy!

Case Law Pertaining to Constitutionality of Billboard Amortization by State and Local Governments
B-302809: Nov 12, 2004
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-8257
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
This responds to your request for an update of our February 6, 1991 opinion to Senator Chafee, B-239187 (Enclosure 1), summarizing case law regarding the permissibility of billboard amortization under the U.S. Constitution. At the time of our 1991 opinion, the vast majority of cases had upheld the general practice of amortization as constitutional; some courts also addressed, on a case-by-case basis, whether a particular amortization practice was constitutional. As discussed below and in Enclosure 2, the small number of additional cases involving billboard amortization decided since 1991 have likewise upheld this practice, ruling that billboard restrictions which provided for an amortization period did not rise to the level of a "taking" triggering constitutional compensation obligations.

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
