e44b0fc0_Pasadena_Blue___mgoblog__Title | [Date] 3 years 39 weeks ago [Body] I think if we wanted to "fight back" we should have done it by beating them soundly in the game of football. Sure a push here and shove there don't hurt too much and might express dominance, but where's the line drawn? Fighting is a part of the game of hockey and is allowed to a certain degree, but it is not in football and back in the days of Sir Charles and Mr. Ray, they may have jaw jacked and tried to phycically dominate guys, but most importantly, they beat their opponents at the game of football. However, I do agree that some of the play calling could have been better, and we did get pusehd around and beat up quite a bit. The fact that this is THE GAME from Sparty's persepctive means their always going to give us their best, and we need to rise to that calling ourselves in years to come, which I believe we will do. We have recruited some very solid players along the line this year, and with Pipkins committing as the highly ranked stud DT (although I would have liked to see another DT commit myself), we will be in a great position to win those physical battles for years to come. I feel your pain man, but trust me, the pendulum is going to swing back to our side very soon.

e44b0fc0_Pasadena_Blue___mgoblog__Title | [Date] 3 years 39 weeks ago [Body] I agree with above. Onward and upward for us. I think that Michigan is actually in an interesting situation as we have been humbled in a lot of different ways over the last 4 years or so. The Horror, the entire 08 season, Toledo, continued losses to tsio and MSU. These are things that we hadn't necesssarily experienced before. However, now that we have, I think we have a chance to remain more level headed and also more aware of how to never take anything for granted. You can be sure that those Seniors out there don't want their last season to end that way, and many of them have learned through those items above as well. I have a great feeling they are going to turn up the intensity to a whole new level and bring us some amazing memories in the weeks to come. GO BLUE!!! [Title] | I agree with above.

ee8d7cb7_Retnep___mgoblog__Body | [Date] 1 year 25 weeks ago [Title] Taxable.. [Body] | Scholarships,football scholaships and basketball scholarships, probably should be taxable now. However, I completely agree with LordGrantham, and have made the argument to several colleagues that if this current movement for doing away with the notion of 'student athlete' to one of an student employee, deserving of 'fair' compensation persists, then too comes the dreaded tax man. It isn't hard to calculate the financial benefit that the student athlete receives. For a school like Michigan, easily > $30k p/y. If this is treated as compesation to the student 'employee', the student would be required to pay taxes on that amount. Also, this could have a profound effect on the student's parents, who are likely still claiming this 'well compensated' individual as a dependent. | [] | Retnep | mgoblog | Body | http://mgoblog.com/users/retnep | 50/1438042985647.51_20150728002305-00108-ip-10-236-191-2_164154566_0.json |
ee8d7cb7_Retnep___mgoblog__Body | [Date] 1 year 28 weeks ago [Title] Mario Cristobal - OL? [Body] | If Michigan can manage to grab Mario Cristobal for the OL coach, that would be a huge recruiting coup. MC was the mastermind behind Rutgers recruiting success under Greg Schiano and he recrutied both TY Hilton and Jonathan Cyprian (Jacskonville Jaguars starting safety) to little known FIU. He has huge huge ties to South Florida and is regarded as a masterful recruiter. Previously was head coach at FIU. | [] | Retnep | mgoblog | Body | http://mgoblog.com/users/retnep | 50/1438042985647.51_20150728002305-00108-ip-10-236-191-2_164154566_0.json |
ee8d7cb7_Retnep___mgoblog__Body | [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Title] X1 [Body] | The difference between the PS3 and the PS4 is that the PS4 has better internals. Interface wise, the PS3 and the PS4 are very similar. The upgrade from PS3 to PS4 is not that significant because game play hasn't changed between the two consoles. The difference between the Xbox 1 and every other gaming machine is very significant. I have my cable box plugged directly into my XBox and I use my Xbox 1 controller (or Kinect) to control everything. I can go from playing a game to watching TV without ever havign to put my controller down. On Saturday, I was watching the Alabama/Auburn game while using the ESPN app to scroll through all the other games that ESPN was showing...using my Xbox. The sheer amount of things that you can do with an Xbox 1 is staggering. Plus, Microsoft is indicating that the apps available on Windows 8.1 will be available on the X1...crazy. Video game programmers didn't need more processing power to make video games. The Xbox 360 and the PS3 both had more than enough power to do everything that video game makers wanted to do with video games. After a certain point, game companies start losing lots of money trying to make a game too complicated. While the graphics may be better on the new systems, I don't expect to see a huge jump in actual game play between either the PS4 or the X1. | [] | Retnep | mgoblog | Body | http://mgoblog.com/users/retnep | 50/1438042985647.51_20150728002305-00108-ip-10-236-191-2_164154566_0.json |

ee8d7cb7_Retnep___mgoblog__Body | [Date] 2 years 45 weeks ago [Title] Setting the edge [Body] | If I remember correctly, the sideline reporter spoke with Mattison at half time and he said that the CB weren't coming up fast enough to stop the run. When you look at the CB alignment, the CBs were playing around 10 yards off the ball as if they were afraid to get beat deep. That seems crazy to me against a triple option team. I'm not sure why the corner's weren't playing more press coverage, reading through to the backfield and setting the edge with S giving over the top help. That seems a more preferable than having the CBs catching blocks 10 yards down field with the S being forced to set the edge coming from the middle of the field. On a number of plays there was backside pursuit if only the edge had been set. Frank Clark consistently was chasing on the backside when the ball went away from him. | [] | Retnep | mgoblog | Body | http://mgoblog.com/users/retnep | 50/1438042985647.51_20150728002305-00108-ip-10-236-191-2_164154566_0.json |

I've concluded that it has to be Demens. Either the TE or the tackle releases on Demens but basically is stumbling and makes no real contact. Gordon comes up and forces the run back inside. Demens has to get through the 'very' weak block and stuff the whole right there. Instead, he trips over the offensive player's fingernail and leaves a gaping hole. | [] | Retnep | mgoblog | Body | http://mgoblog.com/users/retnep | 50/1438042985647.51_20150728002305-00108-ip-10-236-191-2_164154566_0.json |

He struggled to get off the line and to get seperation. On slants, DBs routinely beat him to the ball (see Iowa, etc). When Dbs would get physical with Roy, often he would break off his routes and look for a pass interference call. Roy needs to be in the slot to be effective.

He consistently gets thrown off of his routes when he is jammed at the line. If Roundtree is to be successful at all, it will have to be in the slot where he can get a free release.

ee8d7cb7_Retnep___mgoblog__Body | [Date] 3 years 48 weeks ago [Title] In the Big House [Body] | Sport is a contrived event. It sits atop Maslow's pyramid. To the individual, sport is relevant as long as a person relates and cares about it. People care more when the team they follow does well, is admired, or hated. Losing, especially prolonged losing, doesn't cause anger, it causes apathy. Apathy is death of any sport (see NHL). Is Rich Rod a good man? Was Bo a good man? Jim Tressel? For us, those questions are meaningless. What we care about is whether those individuals won games. Did Rich Rod cause people to care more about Michigan or did he inspire apathy? Is Michigan more or less relevant after RR. I hate Jim Tressel. Not as a person, but as a winner/cheater/Suckeye. John Cooper? I could care less. I don't know if Rich Rod is a loving father, a caring husband, a thoughtful son. What I do know is that there was a fuzzy stuffed animal on the sideline during the year Michigan had it's historically worse defense ever.

I've enjoyed reading the Blog post as well as the responses from the faithful commentators. This is the only sight that I've been on, for any sport, where the content is driven by complex analysis and detailed review rather than selling access to players/coaches. But I was compelled to create an account today after reading the Michigan Preview. I do a lot of writing and legal analysis for a living. I know what good writing and analysis looks like. I know when a person has put in time, effort, and energy into a work. I know these things and I can say confidently that hands down, the Michigan Preview this week is one of the Best Previews I've ever read. Insightful, funny, detailed... We are what we do. You, my friend, do Michigan, therefore you must be a Michigan Man. Thanks.

The thing that stands out the most are his feet; it's as if they never leave the ground.

And the patience and the vision and how he sets up blocks then jump cut or a little shimmy of the shoulder and he's leaving guys in the dirt. And when finally someone catches up to him, he squares the lowered shoulders and keeps the feet moving, churning, on and on. Man, Ioved watching that guy run.

d1add04f_Space_Coyote___mgoblog__Title | [Date] 4 days 7 hours ago [Body] The guy has a strong enough arm to make all the throws (not Henne strong, but a average NFL arm). He has great touch over the top of the defense. He's a good enough athlete to relieve pressure. He makes many good throws on the move. He still makes some really bad decisions (mostly, he struggles when teams are heavily multiple in coverage), that and throwing to RBs are his major weakness (his footwork gets sloppy when he gets lazy which hurts his accuracy, when he sets his feet he has really good accuracy). I've watched him progress from a guy that they didn't trust throwing more than double slants and mesh concepts to a guy throwing triangle concepts whenever they ask him to. If you said this after 2013 I'd have no issue believing you, but they guy got significantly better and played really, really well in 2014. He isn't without flaws, neither was Henne. But Cook is good enough now and has potential in his game to improve in the areas where he's weakest. Winston and Mariota were the top 2 picks, I said Cook will be selected in the first 3 rounds. He would have gone ahead of Grayson and Mannion last year, two guys selected in the third round that Cook was better than. I don't know what hype I'm supposed to be believing here, I'm not calling him the second coming or Tom Brady, but he's a really good college QB.

d1add04f_Space_Coyote___mgoblog__Title | [Date] 4 days 8 hours ago [Body] But in 2014 MSU had the 6th best passing offense (opponent adjusted) and Iowa had the 58th best. Stats lie (Rudock had the 54th best passer rating last year, Cook was 19th; Rudock's non-con wasn't murderer's row compared to MSU's). This shows that Rudock isn't some scrub of a QB and can play good games, but (and this will come across as know-it-all), the eye test is easily in Cook's favor. People calling him a game manager are wrong, at least for 2014 (he was in 2013 until the BTT). He hits some impressive throws, makes a lot of really good throws, and makes some bad ones too. I don't think he's quite as good as Henne was, but I view him as a pick up in the first 3 rounds at least, most likely in the first two (depending on the talent around him, Henne would have gone earlier if it not been a relatively deep draft in 2008). He's in that same category, especially now that "pro-style" offenses are becoming fewer and fewer. And remember, Cook doesn't have the advantage of throwing a ton of screens. Iowa throws more screens than MSU actually. Cook's numbers aren't propped up by a lot of bubble screens and such. Cook hasn't played very well against Michigan, and I get the feeling that most Michigan fans are basing their opinion of Cook based on that, watching him briefly in the background of other games, and bias. Cook is a good player, I think it's time for Michigan fans to stop living in denial about that and searching for excuses to why most others view him as a good QB prospect; admitting he's a good QB doesn't make you less of a fan.

Also, as far as we know they are still looking at lower ranked DTs, they just aren't pulling the trigger yet. If those guys aren't highly sought after, they don't need to be contacting them all the time. They can probably contact Jovan Swann (IN), Amir Watts (IL), Jake Saunders (OH), Rashad Wheeler (PA), Ulises De Los Santos (NJ), and Tyler Oliver (PA) and at least get serious interest out of a few of them.

d1add04f_Space_Coyote___mgoblog__Title | [Date] 4 days 13 hours ago [Body] First, People don't remember just how bad Texas was when Mack took over. The storied program wen 4-7 the year prior to him being there (1997), and the five years prior to him arriving saw them average 5 losses a year. They weren't awful, but for that program, they might as well have been. Brown took over and immediately went 9-3. But the Big 12 had a couple other power houses too in Nebraska (early) and Oklahoma (throughout). Brown won the South his 2nd year, and would go on to win his division 6 times in his 16 seasons, and at one point won 6 or 12 seasons. Of course he had a conference title game that he only won twice, but still. He won at least 9 games his first 12 seasons at Texas, after winning 10 games in back-to-back years at UNC. He won at least 10 games in 9 straight seasons, that's almost a full decade with 10+ wins every year. He only lost more than 2 conference games once in his first 12 seasons. He won a national title and was a Colt McCoy injury away from probably winning a second against Alabama. Brown was a good recruiter (he was at Texas, that part isn't the difficult part), but he was also a good game day coach. He switched offenses drastically from early in his career with Ricky Williams, to the one that Vince Young ran, to the one that Colt McCoy ran. Brown's issues were probably somewhat similar to Hoke's, in that the atmosphere around the program started to degrade. But then Brown had the opposite problem as Hoke, he basically had a whirlwind of coaches coming and going, absolutely no consistency, the schemes constantly changing. This lead to (similar to Hoke) a lack of player development, and the downfall of his program.

d1add04f_Space_Coyote___mgoblog__Title | [Date] 4 days 14 hours ago [Body] If these guys stepped down every time the goings got tough, they wouldn't be where they are today. All of these coaches are extremely confident. They think they can turn it around. Hell, if you won a National Title and went to another one and had one of the most successful runs in college football within the last decade, why wouldn't you think you could turn it around again? I don't blame Mack for hanging around. It was the wrong decision, because things got bad at Texas, particularly for the talent they had; but I personally don't think you can expect someone that still wants to coach and has been extremely successful coaching fairly recently to just hang it up because he was trending downwards.

d1add04f_Space_Coyote___mgoblog__Title | [Date] 6 days 11 hours ago [Body] I think the offense as a whole was struggling, and in turn, that forced Caris to think he had to do even more and put the offense more on his shoulders, and that lead to the offense struggling even more and Caris trying to do more than he's actually comfortable doing. I'm hoping with all the new guys now more comfortable with the offense, and Irvin understanding his role and being a little more dynamic, that Caris doesn't feel the need to carry the load quite as much. The offense works best when it's constantly moving and everyone is doing their job, when guys have to or feel they have to do more, it tends to stagnate and break down, which is what it felt like last year even before a lot of the injuries.

d1add04f_Space_Coyote___mgoblog__Title | [Date] 1 week 11 hours ago [Body] Collins was one of, if not the, favorite defensive player to watch last year in the B1G. Here's where I first noticed him, against Miami in the non-conf: Maliek Collins I want to start with Ameer Abdullah, because I should start with Ameer Abdullah, but damn, this guy has me excited right now. Here's the essence of my notes with regards to Collins: #7 DT did a good job on zone stretch of keeping his helmet in front of the guard and pressing into OT to not allow OT to come off block. Maintained the double team, kept LBs clean, then anchored and didn't let play get to sideline. Nice play. Another nice job by #7 holding up to a double. [Makes another play, forcing me to look him up] Ok, Maliek Collins is turning in a good game. He's essentially being doubled every play and isn't giving ground and is keeping LBs clean. OH MY GOD. THEY JUST TRIED TO SINGLE TEAM COLLINS! THEY REALLY JUST TRIED THAT. COLLINS DESTROYED THE ENTIRE BACKFIELD. Basically, Collins went from a guy off my radar, to being a guy that is firmly on my radar every time I watch Nebraska going forward. He has a great understanding of leverage. He fights with his hands and occupies blockers extremely well. When he gets a one-on-one block, he disposes of blockers with great hand violence. Collins is one of the players I will be watching out for going forward. Ex-state champ wrestler and is only a Soph. Collins is legit. I'd take him over any DT not named Zettel (who I'd take over Washington, who I think needs to be more consistent). Collins is a great joy to watch. The reference to Mike Martin is legit. Guy just plays and destroys, and it's football at its finest. Also, Elliott is really good, Clement may be better. That's how good he is. Explosive, great balance, can catch out of the backfield, can break tackles. While the passing game won't clear the box as much as OSU, he's bound to get more carries because for once there isn't a great backup. Gordon was as explosive as any RB in college football last year... and Clement may be as good as any RB Wisconsin has had, which is insanely not even hyperbole.

With this strategy, the schemes will change drastically year-to-year, and constantly be completely innovative and surprising. Personnel numbering will no longer apply. 50 personnel? Nope, not 5 OL, 5 RBs, and a QB, because it could also be with 5 RBs, 4 QBs, and 2 OL. How will defenses adjust when a pulling RB takes the jet sweep only to toss it back to the left QB who throws the wheel route to the right wing back as he rolls back the other direction?

I think Ulizio has a lower floor but a higher ceiling than Madden as well, who is a classic Wisconsin RT that has a lot of work left on how well he moves, technique, getting his weight low enough, etc. I'm in general agreement with Brian, I'm a bit higher on Ulizio than the scouting services, but he's probably not going to be a star either.

d1add04f_Space_Coyote___mgoblog__Title | [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Body] It certainly has some physical elements, they run some inside zone and such, but the whole philosophy is not physical, it just isn't. The base run concept is outside zone, and more than pro-style teams, the goal is actually to bounce the run; from an OL perspective that means reaching the block and cutting off the defense - horizontal spacing - not driving people off the ball and getting vertical displacement. WRs block well (so did Carr's for the most part) to help spring runs, but that's more about effort than being physical; bubble screens and options are about playing in space and using athleticism and playing away from the defense, rather than moving the defense and dictating what the defense does. The offense adjusts to what the defense does, attacks where it isn't, runs away from it with options and reads. Those aren't bad things, but they aren't physical. I don't believe there should be a negative connotation to the base offense not being physical, as long as you can be physical when it demands it. But Rich Rod's offense was not physical in the same way other Michigan offenses were designed to be. It was the scheme and the philosophy of him as a coach, and that's fine. And yes, the offense has evolved, but it's still the same at heart. Rich Rod's offensive scheme is very little like Meyer's, despite both being "spread". That's just the reality of it. Different philosophies.

d1add04f_Space_Coyote___mgoblog__Title | [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Body] And completely flies in the face of the Carr haters that have posited that he selfishly sabotaged the program because Michigan didn't hire his guy. Like you said, sometimes people want simple explanations, but those don't really exist. People wanted to paint Carr in a bad light as a reason for Rich Rod's struggles, even though Carr was one of the early people to recommend Rich Rod for the position, and other stories (such as yours) to the contrary. Carr was tacit in his point of view because he didn't want the program to be about him any longer. He wasn't the coach any longer and didn't want to be the old coach shadowing over the program; that wasn't his personality nor was it something he desired. People took that for tacit disaproval or worse, but it never added up in any way. They took the "I'll sign your transfer papers" and turned it into him telling people to leave, when the reality is he said "if you really want to leave, I'll help you out in any way I can, but only after we talk about it and make sure it's the right thing to do". Anyway, just thought that was a very interesting and insightful piece of information that in many places would be overlooked. I, too, wanted Rich Rod to succeed, and only started not believe following PSU his final season, and only really completely gave up on him during the bowl game.

d1add04f_Space_Coyote___mgoblog__Title | [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Body] Starting late in Bo's career, Michigan basically followed what the pros were doing. Moeller brought a heavy emphasis on a pro passing game. Carr essentially used what was the hot offense at the time in the NFL, even when he eventually switched to zone blocking schemes. Rich Rod's offense had some similarities to Bo's, but while it was similar in some ways, it would be disingenuous to indicate that Rich Rod's offense wasn't very different in other ways. Rich Rod disliked TEs until Oklahoma showed you could used them in a spread offense. Rich Rod used RBs and QBs to attack the edge similar to Bo, and FBs as interior run threats, but he didn't really believe in Iso, and his philosophy was completely different (Rich Rod would take a few plays for losses if it meant a 20+ yard run on the third try; Bo would kill someone if they didn't get positive yards 10 plays in a row). I know people hate when critics bring up finesse with Rich Rod's offense, and talk about basketball on grass, but it is more of a finesse offense; it's fine to admit that. It requires a better athlete on the OL because it's more about getting to a spot than it is about dictating the opponent and dominating them with power and execution. That's where they differed greatly from Bo, and Mo, and Lloyd. Those guys put a huge emphasis on owning the LOS, not just doing enough to let athletes make plays. It's a difference in philosophy that each have their strengths and weaknesses, but it is certain a very different philosophy and is a bit disingenuous to say otherwise.

d1add04f_Space_Coyote___mgoblog__Title | [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Body] By "solid", I in no way meant "good". I think the 2008 offense could have been alright, enough to win them some games (like Toledo). Threet showed he could play well enough when he went to ASU. The skill positions were pretty good, especially with Brown and Minor at RB, then Clemens, Mathews, Stonum, and Hemingway at WR. TE had a FR Koger and SO Webb, both pretty good TEs, and Butler, who was an above average TE until they made him a DE for some reason. The OL was the major issue, but they had enough there to have a solid (though not good) unit if they stuck with what they knew. Orrmann (JR), McaVoy (JR), Moosman (JR), Zirbel (JR), and Schilling (SO) were each individually solid players. No stars (not with Schilling that young), but enough to be solid (fairly high floor, low ceiling), especially with the RBs behind them (depth was a huge concern, as the guys behind them were all really young). [Title] | Just to clarify | [] | Space Coyote | mgoblog | Title | http://mgoblog.com/users/space-coyote | 50/1438042985647.51_20150728002305-00302-ip-10-236-191-2_173608537_0.json |
d1add04f_Space_Coyote___mgoblog__Title | [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Body] Hoke's offense was good in year 1 and pretty strong in year 2 as well. Even at the end of year 2, when he started installing his offense with DG under center, it looked like it had a clear idea where it was going. It really wasn't until year 3, and the disaster at OL, where things fell off the rails. And that was probably the correct move for Hoke. The offense was already good. He just needed to smooth out the edges to get it to finish drives and not turn the ball over. Slowly building in your own offense was the correct approach, and by the end of 2012 it looked like the transistion was smooth and effective. On the counter side, he blew up the defense immediately, went to a 4-3 Under with a different philosophy than even GERG had when he ran the Under, and that worked. For Rich Rod, I don't think the offense was quite the disaster many make it out to be going into 2008, but his approach was best for making it better than solid down the road (as soon as 2009). So with that in mind, he went with what he knew best immediately and what he was brought there to do and changed immediately. But he delayed completely overhauling the defense, which was good early on. I think both coaches did basically what they were asked to do when they came in and what they needed to do to try to implement their philosophy. Rich Rod came in to overhaul the offense and bring Michigan forward; he did. Hoke came in to instill some toughness and defense; he did. Neither tried to fix what wasn't broken, they just tried to do what they knew within what worked. I don't think either coach's ultimate failure was because of transitioning early or later; the issues were elsewhere, mostly with player development, especially on one side of the ball. I know I've beat the drum that the schemes were sound, but I still believe it. It was when the players weren't good enough (development) that the scheme went off the rails in an effort to "out-scheme" or gain an advantage elsewhere (sometimes to the detriment of eventual success). Rich Rod knew how to implement a 3-3-5 defense (even if GERG didn't exactly, he still knew how to install a defense), he'd done it before; it was when things started falling apart that it all snowballed. Borges knew how to implement his offense, he had done it before; it was when the OL fell apart that he began freaking out and trying any and everything to gain an edge.

d1add04f_Space_Coyote___mgoblog__Title | [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Body] Though the offense, from my recollection, went through some minor changes in backfield formations and what-not. The defense was a 3-4, though he called it a 5-2. Bo was first and foremost was all about line play. He played OT, and took after Woody's minimalist approach to offense (run few things, execute them perfectly); in contrast with his first coach at Miami, Sid Gilman (a man often credited with creating the West Coast Offense). But he also loved DL play, and loved talking about pad level. This is why he liked "grubbers" (the small NG described above) to play inside and just cause havoc. As an offensive player, you couldn't get lower than them, you couldn't move them. If they got doubled they fell to their knees and created a pile. It was 3-yards and a cloud of dust because the LOS was just a pile of bodies. Have a gap (angle or slant), fire low and hard and be as disruptive as possible. Occupy the OL, let the LBs flow forward and add to the pile of bodies, and no one has anywhere to go. The DEs (OLBs in todays 3-4) force everything to stay inside and typically had pitch responsibility agains the option. You had fun positions names like Nose Guard (played over the center). Tackles (played inside the tackles; Fox tackle and Chase tackle) on the DL. You had Fox (OLB away from Wolf), and Rover (OLB to Wolf), and Zip (ILB to Wolf), and Wolf (Safety to passing strength), and Chase (opposite safety). It was heavy on slants/angles and different run blitzes. It's because of that it was heavy on Cover 0 and Cover 1. But they pretty much had every coverage in their playbook toward the end of his career. They had a Cover 3 ("Solid Coverage") and Cover 2 ("Tough Coverage"); they played some inverted Cover 2 (CBs play deep half) and some Man Under ("Jump Coverage"). They even ran some Cover 6 which they called "Screw". They did have a 5 coverage (3 deep, 2 under) that they used behind their blitz in passing situations. But those were all secondary to the focus of the defense, which again, was run blitzes from a variety of defensive alignments from the same front with Cover 0 or Cover 1 behind it. Zone was soft, and Bo didn't like soft.

I have been surprised by how much I actually like watching it. | [] | spumich | mgoblog | Body | http://mgoblog.com/users/spumich | 50/1438042985647.51_20150728002305-00093-ip-10-236-191-2_167758785_0.json |

I say the more running backs the better. I want quality depth. | [] | spumich | mgoblog | Body | http://mgoblog.com/users/spumich | 50/1438042985647.51_20150728002305-00093-ip-10-236-191-2_167758785_0.json |

This sort of stuff irritates me a lot. The whole video is like MSU propaganda, but the 8 minute mark talking about Lloyd Carr is really annoying. I realize coaches have personal preferences, but when you are dealing with kids' futures you shouldn't steer them to your favorite place. | [] | spumich | mgoblog | Body | http://mgoblog.com/users/spumich | 50/1438042985647.51_20150728002305-00093-ip-10-236-191-2_167758785_0.json |
