The seconday is the one part that lacks experience, but unfortunately for us, the entire unit stinks. The defensive issues are much more than an issue of experience.Coaching is the issue. [Title]

[Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Body] Saban won 12 games his second year, Tressel a NT, Carr a NT in his third, Dantonio won 9 his second season, Meyer a NT in his second..great coaches win and win almost immediately. A coach needs time if he is taking a Wisconsin circa 1990(Alverez) or a school like Eastern Michigan which has no recruiting base, no tradition, no fan support. Basically, you have to build the entire program which slows the process dramatically. That is not so at UofM where you have everything you need right off the bat to win 8 games. Facilities, fan support, brand recognition, tradition...UofM is perfectly set up to be an instant winner which is why so many have issues with RichRod. He frankyl ,looks like a guy in over his head at the high major level. I think if he is to survive that he surrender the defense entirely to the new DC.Scheme, coaching staff, size of players, etc. That is the only way UofM can have a good defense under RR because he clearly has no clue what to do on that side of the ball. [Title]
Not so...

[Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Body] Offensively,yes, but defense and special teams are huge question marks. Strictly basing our opinion on evidence, one can say that UM will have a great offense, horrid defense, and so so special teams. What that translates to in terms of W's and L's is 5-7 to 7-5. In other words, mediocrity. Any prediction other than that is based on pure conjecture. [Title]

534f0366_WolverineEagle___mgoblog__Title
[Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Body] I think that is the problem.His tone is all offense, no defense. This is evident from his decisions regarding the defense. Why in God's name would you force your assistants on a DC? You have to allow a DC to make his own hires. Why would you run a finesse defense in a power minded conference. A 3-3-5 is great for a one week gameplan, but not as your base defense. It is a finesse defense schematically which then promotes a finesse MENTALITY. If he wants to succeed here, he needs to follow Urban Meyer's plan. Handle the offense and all the other compotents of a program but leave the defense to your DC. Let him decide the scheme, assistant coaches. The only think he should worry about is penalties because they can impact the team as a whole. One certainly has to question RR's decisionmaking ability. It was he who brought in these DC's. It was he who decide to not have a special teams coordinator. These fall bac on him because he is the CEO of the operation.The makeup of the program is what HE wanted. Thus, he has to be held accountable for the results that the program produces. [Title]
You make a good point regarding HC establishing a tone

534f0366_WolverineEagle___mgoblog__Title
[Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Body] UM did not gameplan for Appy State and UM still won 9 games that season including a win over a spread team in the Capital One Bowl. The 06' did get exposed, but they were 11-0 at one point. UM far more games with smashmouth than they are now. If you recall the 01' team. It too was young, but they somehow managed to win 8 games with a mediocre offense and defense---sorta like how Dantonio has managed to do in his 4 years. Furthermore, the dominant team in the conference uses alot of smashmouth. OSU only has won 5 straight Big Ten titles during the period you say that the Big Ten was tougher. Two spread teams won the NT.One did so with a less-than-stellar defense and they had Vince Young.UF won both of their NT's with great defenses. UM is younger, but not inexperienced. Defensively, they have plenty of experience in their front 7. Offensively, most guys have played more than one season. The youth argument fades with every passing game. Tackling, poor assignments, and bad angles are not experience issues. TThese guys have played football for years. They know how to tackle, how to pursue properly, their assignment in a scheme. It isn't difficult. Besides, they have plenty of experience. You act like they start 11 true freshmen who came in August. They do not. Your argument also ignores the fact that their defense was horrible his first two seasons with experienced players. [Title]
Well, for starters

534f0366_WolverineEagle___mgoblog__Title
[Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Body] The defense--namely the front 7--is not that young. There are many guys who have been here several years. Yes, the secondary is painfully young and no one would expect that side to be highly effective. But thre front 7 does have experience. Besides these guys are football players. They have been playing the game for most of their lives. They should know pursuit angles, their assignment, how to tackle..this is basic stuff. This is football, not theoretical physics. It is not that hard to coach fundamentals--at least not for a good coach anyways. Furthermore,T\the youth argument does not fly for defense as the defense was horrid for RR's first two seasons when they had experience in the secondary. That inconvenient fact is often left out--which is what partisans tend to do.Anti-RichRod often like to sugarcoat the difficulty of transitioning from a pro style to a spread and that is not right. I understand that people desperately want the guy to win. I do too. But when you argue you cannot ignore, dismiss, or warp facts that hinder your argument. At this point, just looking at the evidence on the field--and that is all what any of us have to base our beliefs on--the "Fire RichRod" crowd has more ammuno than the Pro-Rod crowd. The on-the-field performances leave alot to be desired. It is increasingly difficult to see how he can win here when he has displayed no abiity to field a competent defense. Everyone knows that to win championships you need a defense. What in his three years leads anyone to believe that he will construct one? Blind faith is not a legitimate argument. You have to bring something tangible to the table. to support your argument. The only conclusion I can make based off what I have seen for the past three years is that Rich Rodriguez has constructed a potentially dominant offense, an atrocious defense, and a so-so special teams unit. That is what the facts would tell anyone not in the thrall of RichRod's dynamic offense. He will be back and I am not sure what to think. If Brandon forces him to dispense with his entire defensive staff and hire a guy who wil be permitted to bring in his own guys with his own scheme, than I think RR has a chance. If not, we are just delaying the inevitable. He will fail here. [Title]
I am tired of simplistic arguments

[Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Body] That style of football won many, many games in the Big Ten. RichRod's style has lost many, many games. I happen to think that you can win with his offense, but that's based more on theory than anything we have seen in reality. No one has won consistently at a high level in the Big Ten with the spread. Purdue was medicore and OSU used a hybrid spread pro style as did PSU.Both also had strong defenses. [Title]

Saban won 12 his second year. But Michigan, the school that has as many resources as anyone, needs 5 years. And here I thought UM was the place for the leaders and best. I guess I was wrong. [Title]

I agree with Brian. I liked the concept but thought it could have been executed better. I do have a few questions... How long do we predict Michigan football will be around? My assumption is for a long time. So what's the plan when we start running out of numbers? Also, to the people who thought the legends jerseys were a money grab, how much do you think the athletic department actually made off of them? Assuming they get a small percentage of each sale, they would have to sell hundreds of thousands of them to make enough of a profit to make it purely about money wouldn't they?

While I disagree with you about the potential payoff for lacrosse versus soccer (even this game ended with 15 total goals scored), I do agree this was a boring game. It was bound to happen when two of the slowest pace of play teams in the NCAA played each other on one day of rest. Hopefully more people tuned into the semifinals on Saturday. Both were incredible games with great finishes.

They didn't say that's where it NEEDS to happen. They said that's where it is GOING TO happen. We'd all love to see the big football schools add men's lacrosse. That won't happen very frequently for a lot of reasons. In the past 36 years it's happened exactly twice, at Notre Dame and Michigan. Meanwhile a couple of dozen or more smaller D1 schools without football have added men's lacrosse. That will continue to be the trend. Women's lacrosse will continue to be added at big football schools with regularity. Great Title 9 add.

Great write up L'Carp. It was a really good weekend for the Big Ten. From a conference that struggled a bit through the season and wasn't expected to get more than one bid to having three bids and all three advance to the final 8. Shows the level that Michigan still has to get to, which obviously won't happen overnight. For me Albany is the team to watch. They play the game the way it's meant to played...fast. It's very entertaining. Reminiscent of lacrosse in the 80s and 90s. I would love to see them beat ND and get to the final four. Tall order though. ND is probably the most balanced team in the tournament. Hopkins turned a corner when they played Michigan. Earlier in the season they were losing close games to ranked teams, mostly because their goalies couldn't save a beach ball. Their senior starter played really well against Michigan, and since then you could argue they are playing the best lacrosse of anyone in the tournament.

As a club team alum I love this. JP and the athletic department are clearly building the varsity program (Team Four and all that), but they are also making a real effort to honor the past. It's smart. The club alums are the donors and job network for the current players. The guys from my era had a lot of fun and made great friends playing, and the guys from the last few club teams have a lot of pride in the championships they won. And in Michigan's case, which is kind of unique in lacrosse, the D1 program came about in large part because of the way the club team was built.

Defense is much improved over the last few weeks. Not sure what people are seeing when they say awful defense. Yes there were a few breakdowns, but overall you can see the improvement. And other than Logan, they are doing it without a single guy who I would call great at that end. No defense, I don't care who you are, can shut down a good offense (and Ohio State has a good, not elite, offense) if the other team has the ball a lot more than you do. Faceoffs are the biggest factor holding this team back. And today there were a few untimely turnovers, both on offense and on clears, that didn't help. I loved the scrap in the first half. Diving for loose balls and flying around. They just played a muderers row of faceoff guys between Maryland, Rutgers and Ohio State. They survived Rutgers because they actually are a slightly better team and they had just enough offense, but Maryland and Ohio State without the ball isn't going to work out too well. I'm hopeful they can compete a little better for faceoffs in the next two weeks. Hopkins and Penn State are good there, but not like these last three. If this team beats Penn State and makes the Big Ten tournament that's a success for this year. Everybody picked them to be last of six, and they already are positioned to be 4th or 5th.

Release says attendance was 800 and some change. To be expected I suppose on Easter Sunday. I seem to recall that the date of the spring game was changed within the last couple of months, so I would guess that had something to do with it. That and the regime change with both new Jims taking over. Probably other factors too having to do with the Big Ten starting up. I suspect they have less flexibility with their own conference scheduling than they did with the ECAC. I'd love to see them do what Ohio State does with their spring game and lacrosse game combo. They play the lacrosse game first, then have a real game for the spring game, which helps draw huge crowds for both. Winning also helps I suppose. Huge win yesterday though. Nice to have King back. They got dominated at faceoffs for the second straight week, but this time found a way to overcome that. Ohio State looked great last night against Hopkins. Chances for an upset depends on which Buckeye team shows up on Sunday. The one last night or the one that laid a goose egg against ND and lost to Detroit. Hopkins, as much as they are struggling, will be a really tough out, especially on the road. That game is their homecoming (yes, they have their school homecoming in the spring at a lacrosse game). Penn State seems to be the best chance to get another win and hopefully lock down a tournament spot.

[Date] 17 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Got to go to the game [Body]
Got to go to the game yesterday. Maryland is a top 3 team for a reason. To be fair, three of Michigan's losses this season are to the current #1, #3 and #10. This is still a much improved team in its fourth year. They just don't have the horses and skill sets that the elite teams do yet. A few thoughts from this one. 1. Maryland is loaded on offense, but they don't wow you there. They are very methodical. Where they kill you is on faceoffs, where Raffa is a complete animal, and defense/goalie. Michigan didn't get the ball much because of Raffa, and when they did they had a lot of trouble generating quality shots. The Maryland goalie ate up most of the shots they did manage. They are giving up less than 5 goals per game this season, which is insane. 2. Michigan really misses King. As I said, they had trouble getting good shots and then burying them. It can't help to be missing their one legitimate great player on that end, especially against the best defense in the country. I thought the Michigan players were athletic enough to make some things happen offensively, but their sticks let them down a lot with turnovers or bad shot placement, and Maryland jumped all over mistakes like a top-5 team should. Kyle Jackson made some things happen, but he can't do it alone. Shlosser is really fast and explosive, but his stick needs to improve. 3. It was a good crowd, maybe 3,000 or so. Lots of Michigan people. Byrd Stadium is too big for lacrosse, like Michigan Stadium, but they do a good job with the event there as you would expect at a school where lacrosse is really important.

Here's the release; http://www.mgoblue.com/sports/m-lacros/recaps/100811aaa.html I think your memory is a little sketchy. That was their second D1 scrimmage. They played Providence at home before that, losing 11-10 in OT. The score against St. Joe's was 9-5. They were down 5-3 at the half. Granted, that was not yet a good St. Joe's team back then. Both teams have been steadily improving since then, but obviously St. Joe's had a big head start as an older program. They did get smoked 14-2 by Towson that day. Maybe you're remembering that one. Either way, this was a good win for this team right now. St. Joe's was 11-4 last year and thumped us at home. They almost beat Virginia earlier this week. To win this one on the road without a guy like King after losing two in a row says a lot about their fortitude.

Watched the stream. You can really see how much the offense misses King. Schlosser was great until St Joes put their pole on him. Then there weren't a lot of other offensive options. Would really like to see Jackson get back on track. He was so promising the past couple of years but seems like he's mostly ineffective this year. Is he playing hurt? Great to see the defense step up. Logan is part of that, and he played great, but the defense has been so inconsistent. They played well today, even without regulars like Hatton and Moore (assume both are hurt?). Slides and recoveries were better. Generally better on ball. Were forcing a lot of shots that Logan could save. He did bail them out a few times, but great goalies do that. Lott had a good faceoff day today, and that made a huge difference. I thought the St Joes guy who was having success late was moving early every time, but they only got the call a couple of times. Hard to tell from the angle they showed if the Joseph goal in the first OT should have been good or not. It was close.

Hopefully these next two are wins. Even starting 4-1 with the only loss to one of the top teams in the country is a HUGE step forward.

IrishLax, Really appreciate this post. I think you nailed it about the the ND team. I was hoping for an upset this week based partly on the GTown score and partly on Michigan's two blowout wins, but reality hit today. ND was a national finalist (and ACC champ, which is no joke) last year for a reason and is better this year. Michigan is a fourth year program with three recruiting classes and only one superstar. The only thing that really surprised me was the faceoff struggles until Michigan apparently started using a pole there. They are an above average faceoff team. But that's often a matchup thing that can sometimes go either really well or horribly wrong despite prevous stats and match-ups. It's way to early to say if JP is not the guy. As you say, the team is showing very steady improvement and from all reports they are blowing the doors off in recruiting (which Paul is ultimately responsible for) starting with their 2016 class. I played club with him and have so much respect for all that he's accomplished. But who knows? I'd love to see what he can do with a team that is loaded with ND level talent. I am really happy to see this rivalry starting. As Michigan's program gets better, it's going to be great to see these games turn into battles. Congrats to Coaches Paul and Corrigan for getting it going.

Oosterbaan is definitely an advantage, but since the lights were replaced a few years ago I'm always amazed at how bright it is in there compared to the old days. Plus they painted the walls blue recently, which makes seeing the ball a lot easier than most indoor buildings (Penn State, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Ultimate where Detroit plays) that have white walls. I may be wrong here, but I believe that Notre Dame practices and plays on a narrow field in Loftus as well, so the "tight confines" may not be such an advantage. They definitely have a track around their indoor field, so the building is bigger, but I believe they play the football sidelines. Completely agree that the early season success is encouraging, but Notre Dame is a whole different level. Will be very interesting to see if the boys can hang.

It was added because Brandon wanted to add it and because JP had built a monster of a club program that was successful both at winning and raising money. DB always said he was adding it for business reasons. He thought the growth trends showed lacrosse would be a much bigger sport in the future and wanted to be on the front end of that. The money that was raised was not nearly enough to endow the program. That would take 20 or 30 million at least. DB said it was just to offset costs the first couple of years. If the average cost of a scholarship is about $50k, and lacrosse gets 12.6 (the NCAA limit), that would make the annual cost to the athletic department $630,000. Not insignificant, but won't break the bank.

Football and basketball generate net revenue, although you could remove the basketball revenues and barely notice the hit to the overall budget. Hockey is more or less break-even and made money in the Big Chill year because of that one game. No other sport at Michigan makes more than it spends. But it's not quite that simple. Facilities are paid for mostly through donations. Some scholarships and coaching positions are endowed. Other revenue sources bring in a lot (BTN, donations, sponsors, etc.). I do know that in the case of lacrosse the first few years of operating expenses were covered by donors. I know this because I'm one of them (although my check was pretty insignificant in the grand scheme of things).

[Date] 3 weeks 11 hours ago [Body] I'm mostly just still confused why anyone thinks that any brightening was an Adidas development. I'm currently looking at a late era Nike t-shirt that is basically the same color as a current Adidas one, and no it's not faded, I never wear it. People were already complaining about this 10 years ago. [Title]

The fact that there are actually people like you out there who think it's a mistake to invest in the only area of Detroit that's actually adding population in 40 years is such a huge problem. Cities need tax revenue to be functional. For that they need taxpayers. I'm sorry that you hate that.

Am I correct in understanding that once a prospect has committed, no more Crystal Balls may be placed for that school? ...So for Hill, people can only pick a school other than PSU (such as Michigan.) No one can jump on the PSU bandwagon, but throwing a UofM pick in there might earn them a few points, if he flips, right? Not that this means the M picks are meaningless, but I think the trend might hold more weight with the uncommitted prospects rather than the committed ones. Do I have the proper understanding here?
