    Michigan a BCS Team in 2011?

    My usual rose-colored glasses have had several trips to the eye doctor over the past 4 years. While I do think Hoke is a great step in the right direction, this is still a pretty.......optimistic piece to say the least. We still have very few credible athletes in the secondary capable of...

    Top Schools of the BCS Era

    lots of things hurt to say regarding the cesspool in Columbus, but I can still be honest with my opinions about em LOL..... It's pretty cut and dry for me, honestly. No one has more trips to the big bowls than OSU, and they have won the majority of em. The 2 shellings in the title games I can...

    Top Schools of the BCS Era

    The BCS is a crappy system, but it's the one forced down our throats every year, so your points are valid.....BUT.... (I literally can't believe I'm about to side with Kingdome on something, but....) The listed thread title is "Top Schools in the BCS Era." It's not "Top BCS Champion...

    Brady Hoke hired as new Michigan HC

    I didn't mean it as a slight to any other rivalry, but when you ask a random sports fan about college rivalries, the odds are pretty solid you're gonna hear OSU-UM and Duke-UNC. There are lots of great ones, every year makes 1 or 2 must watch games, but nationally those 2 are the most-tradtion...

    Brady Hoke hired as new Michigan HC

    It'll be a few years, maybe more, before the game has value in the team's national hopes. But it says a LOT that the game has remained a national broadcast even through 3 years of lopsided losses. It's still college football's premier rivalry game despite that. Only the Red River Shootout...

    Brady Hoke hired as new Michigan HC

    the leap to beating Ohio State is a tall one, make no mistake....the talent discrepancy is pretty wide....but at least I'll actually look forward to the game this year, that's a start......

    Worst NFL Owner?

    - Since 1990, the Bengals have exactly 2 playoff appearances, and were 1 and done in both. The Raiders have more playoff appearances, playoff wins, and an AFC title. - Both teams have stretches where they were ridiculously bad, but Brown can claim an entire decade of wretchedness in the 90's...

    Brady Hoke hired as new Michigan HC

    I watched Hoke's full presser from Wednesday to get a feel for Hoke. I can say I'm already 600% more excited about the direction this program's headed. Here are some thoughts. - The biggest thing that stood out to me was the passion he has for the tradition and culture in Ann Arbor. Hoke...

    RRod given the boot by Brandon, Wolverines

    Ehhh....I'm ok with Hoke.....he's an unknown to big school coaching, but Michigan's never been about getting the big hire. Rodriguez was the 1st coach we've ever hired with previous big-conference experience, and look how that turned out. The losing record doesn't bother me, it's hard to have...

    RRod given the boot by Brandon, Wolverines

    Hey, it's snowing in Hell somewhere! Les Miles has met with Michigan athletic officials this morning, and the "sources" indicate he will accept the job if offered. This is really the best case scenario for Michigan after Harbaugh. Proven coach, Michigan guy, and oh, no more 3-3-5!!!!!! I'm...

    TCU beats Wisconsin in Rose Bowl

    small school = BCS non-AQ team(automatic qualifier).......this is how college football defines big program/small program. I'm not saying Utah's athletic boosters, enrollment, etc isn't bigger than teams from the Sun Belt (god knows we don't need another debate like last year's), just simply...

    TCU beats Wisconsin in Rose Bowl

    my bad, but still, Utah (another "small school") took Bama down. Rant remains the same LOL

    TCU beats Wisconsin in Rose Bowl

    Boise has beaten Oklahoma (Big 12 champs), Alabama (SEC West champs), Oregon(Pac 10 champs that year), and Virginia Tech(ACC Champs) TCU has added the Big 10 champ Badgers to the list of "big boys" these schools supposedly can't hang with. Anyone else have a valid argument as to why these...

    With the First Pick of the 2011 NFL Draft...

    I think the current "future star" QB trend in the NFL is shifting toward a more mobile pocket QB. Rodgers, Rivers, Freeman, Romo, Bradford. All guys athletic enough to shift with the heat, extend plays while keeping eyes downfield. Brady's a master of it. Vick's even more dangerous now that...

    Marvin Lewis - The future?

    Bratkowski will have the OC job as long as Brown owns the team, I think he's a family friend.

    Will the Big Dogs land anywhere?

    Cowher is simple. He replaces Fox in Carolina in 2012, or he's done. He's done everything there is to do in coaching with one of the NFL's marquee franchises. Carolina is home, and it'd be the only way. He's not doing it for the money at this point. Gruden's the one with more options. He's...

    Marvin Lewis - The future?

    Pretty simple here, and I'm OK with it, so long as Brown actually lets go of the reins a bit. Lewis is a disciplinarian, but what good are Dad's punishments (Lewis) when they can run to Mom (Brown)? Cincinnati is the only place he'd be head coach, coming off 4-12. Remember, he WANTS to be a...
