2 years 33 weeks ago | By the way, love the Antione |
By the way, love the Antione "the Judge" Joubert nom de plume. Joubert and Gary "the General" Grant were my all time favorite Michigan guard combo until Tim and Trey came along a few years back. |

Pretty sure the water just parts when he comes near. |
2 years 33 weeks ago | Plus he looks just like |
Plus he looks just like Jabrill Peppers which can't hurt. |
2 years 36 weeks ago | Love that clip. Everitt |
Love that clip. Everitt really wanted to hit him but probably held back because he didn't want to give that little jock-sniffer the free publicity. |
2 years 37 weeks ago | Won't be able to call it a |
Won't be able to call it a fluke when Caris Levert goes in the top 10 next year. |
2 years 38 weeks ago | I think we are going to have |
I think we are going to have a really good defense this year. Especially the back seven. Not sure if Jabrill will win the Heisman, but maybe in another year or two. |
2 years 39 weeks ago | Can't comment on Justified |
Can't comment on Justified but I loved Timothy Oliphant in Deadwood. |
2 years 39 weeks ago | Yeah, no GoT really sucks. |
Yeah, no GoT really sucks. But a couple of new shows I've been watching and am now really into are Penny Dreadful (Sunday nights) and Salem (Thursday nights). And I too am looking forward to The Leftovers and Strain based on the trailers I've seen. |
2 years 40 weeks ago | Hmmmn, interesting news but |
Hmmmn, interesting news but seems to contradict other recruiting.... It sounded like we were recruiting Hjalte Froholdt (who is an interior lineman) pretty hard up until he committed to Arkansas. I wonder what changed? |
2 years 44 weeks ago | Wow, so much negativity. I |
Wow, so much negativity. I bet at least one of these guys turns into a great receiver eventually. And I bet at least one of them sees significant playing time this year, not just on special teams. I know not every recruit is going to be a stud, but I would be very surprised if all three of them turned out to be busts. As bluekoj said, there is almost nothing to go on at this point. Lets give them a chance before we just write off the entire 2013 receiver class. |
2 years 45 weeks ago | Rorschach Test |
After reading the above comments, I'm now convinced the NFL draft is the perfect Rorschach test for Michigan fans. The optimists see the silver lining and the haters see confirmation that the coaches suck. |
2 years 46 weeks ago | I'd be really pissed if I |
I'd be really pissed if I were the security guard. He suffered a vicious attack for simply doing his job. If it were me, I'd want Jayru Campbell to receive the full wrath of the law (as a minor, not the bs where they often find some loophole to charge kids as adults), not some slap on the wrist. Counciling and anger management classes.....what a joke. |
2 years 47 weeks ago | I have no problem holding the |
I have no problem holding the coaching staff accountable. But I absolutely insist that we give them a few years to rebuild first, then fire 'em if they aren't getting the job done. I'm not sure RR was the best for Michigan but I definitely don't want his replacement to be run out of town before he even has a chance to field a decent team. And I don't want to be in a 20 year cycle of rebuilding like Notre Dame. |
2 years 47 weeks ago | Seems like stability to the |
Seems like stability to the program arrived with Hoke. I hope we actually follow through and give him a chance to rebuild the program. Otherwise we will be rebuilding for another 3-4 years if we get rid of him after this year. |
2 years 49 weeks ago | Yep GoT and Walking Dead are |
Yep GoT and Walking Dead are great. I also am absolutely loving the first two episodes of Turn on AMC so far. Another good one that I just watched is the first season of Black Sails (on Starz). And Vikings (History Channel) is pretty awesome too if you haven't seen that yet. I've heard some people say that The Black List is good. I liked the first few episodes but it got silly when every week they catch a new super-criminal/terrorist. I don't really like one hour self contained shows anymore. Instead I prefer the series format. And yeah, Project Free TV is the best. |
2 years 49 weeks ago | Not so fast. We're still in |
Not so fast. We're still in it. Found this on twitter: Ryan Bartow @RyanBartow 4-star Chris Clark informing ppl he's de-committed from #NorthCarolina. Plans to visit #OhioState & #Michigan next. |
2 years 49 weeks ago | I'm surprised no programs |
I'm surprised no programs have offered to let star recruits design the team uniforms as an incentive to come to their school. Or maybe we just haven't heard about it? |
2 years 51 weeks ago | I don't have any inside info |
I don't have any inside info or anything, but from what I've read it sounds like Sterling Jenkins is leaning towards Penn State. |

It says the University of Michigan is 2.67 times more influential than Ohio State University, 3.43 times more influential than Michigan State University and is 2.94 times more influential than the Univerisity of Notre Dame. Clearly this must be true. |

Unfortunately Stidham just committed to Texas Tech. Hopefully this is just a "place-holder" commitment and he will still look around. |

Unfortunately, I saw a disheartening tweet from Steve Lorenz today saying he is changing his "crystal ball" pick to Penn State for Sterling Jenkins. |
3 years 3 weeks ago | From what I heard, Nicholson |
From what I heard, Nicholson was a good athlete and had nice size for a safety, but didn't like contact. I believe Penn State passed on him for the same reason. |
3 years 4 weeks ago | What About Gibbons' Civil Rights? |
Perhaps you guys know more about this than I do. I live many states away and have only read a little about this but from my understanding, there were never any charges filed against Gibbons because the alleged victim did not want to pursue the matter. Then many years after the alleged rape that never warranted any charges, Gibbons is suddenly expelled because of a change in University policy. So Gibbons gets thrown under the bus by the university and now his reputation is forever destroyed.....and he may not have even done anything wrong? If anyone's civil rights were violated, it was Gibbons. Or am I missing some important legal details? |
3 years 6 weeks ago | I don't know about that. The |
I don't know about that. The fans demand wins or the coaches head. Are we willing to trade our higher academic and character standards for wins on the field? LF is saying yes, loosen the standards. I'm not saying he's right, but he does sound like much of our fan base. |
3 years 6 weeks ago | Shhhhh...... |
Don't heap too much praise on him. Everytime we get a good recruiting guy (Steve, Tom) someone comes along and snatches them up. Just kidding. Nice job BB. |
3 years 9 weeks ago | I had the opposite reaction. |
I had the opposite reaction. He completely embarrassed himself and will probably regret these comments when he grows up a bit. Now, instead of everyone talking about what a great corner he is, we're all talking about what a jackass he is instead. |
3 years 10 weeks ago | My father's words |
When I emailed my dad about this last night, his reply was classic... "Can we hire some of their players too"? |
3 years 16 weeks ago | Whaaaaaa |
What a big effing baby. If you're so unhappy then don't go. Whaaaa I'm locked in, whaaaa! Its my career, whaaa! The ticket prices, whaaa! Jesus dude, be happy you don't have a shit job like some of us. |
3 years 27 weeks ago | What a little Diva |
Mark May must really know how to push his buttons because Holtz just lost it when May said he was out of order. Holtz yells "I'm sick of everybody jumping on coach". I guess he's earned the right to just go by the nickname coach, but who talks about themselves in the third person like that? |
3 years 27 weeks ago | Bo almost left in '82 for money |
This is in reply to you and Mr. Rager. From Wikipedia: On January 15, 1982, Texas A&M offered Schembechler nearly $3 million for 10 years—the richest contract in the history of college athletics at that time—to become the school's football coach and athletic director. Schembechler turned it down. "Frankly, I've come to the conclusion that there are things more important in this world than money," Schembechler said. "For that reason, I've decided to stay at Michigan."[5] But thats not the whole story according to my father (U of M alumni graduated mid 70's). My dad says that Bo was very close to leaving. Three million over 10 years was an astronomical sum at the time and Bo was certainly tempted. But at the 11th hour some Michigan alumni got together led by Tom Monighan and bought Bo two Dominos Pizza franchises (in Columbus, OH by the way) and the University gave him a 40% raise so he would stay in Ann Arbor. |
3 years 30 weeks ago | MA's and Loafs |
MA's (missed assignments) and loafs. I learned something new. They do keep stats on linemen. I'd kind of like to hear about those stat lines on the other lineman too. Especially the guys battling for the other Guard spot and the Center position like Bryant, Braden, Miller, Glasgow etc.... |
3 years 36 weeks ago | Ah right. Thanks for the |
Ah right. Thanks for the correction. Green Street Hooligans is what I meant. |
3 years 36 weeks ago | Hooligans |
Reminds me of a pretty good movie called "Hooligans". Elijah Wood plays an American visiting his sister in England who gets caught up with the extreme fans of West Ham United. No decapitations but lots of good fights and violence. |
3 years 43 weeks ago | Muppets on Sunday? |
When Jabrill Peppers commits on Sunday will it be the Muppets or Naughy by Nature? Or maybe Brian can get the Muppets to do OPP, Hip Hop Hurray or Feel Me Flow? Now that would be awesome. |
3 years 46 weeks ago | For Profit? |
I know that about 80% of Michigan charter schools are "for profit". Is this school? The reason I ask is that you are soliciting donations on behalf of the children. |
3 years 47 weeks ago | Great idea. Shouldn't be too |
Great idea. Shouldn't be too tough since we have 78 All-Americans, 3 Hiesman Trophy winners, an ex-President and a bunch of all time great coaches to choose from. |
3 years 47 weeks ago | Jeremy Clark |
ESPN just did an "exit interview" thing with all of the departing seniors. One of the questions was about which 2012 red-shirt they expect to make a big impact this year. At least three of them picked Jeremy Clark and had some really nice things to say about his development and his performance on last years scout team. I don't think he's going to beat out Thomas Gordon and Jerrod Wilson for the starting safety spots, but it sounds like he has a good chance to see some playing time this year. |
3 years 47 weeks ago | Not to pick nits but they |
Not to pick nits but they were fainting goats actually. They faint every time they get scared. Lots of videos of them on Youtube. And funnier than this prank in my opinion. |
3 years 48 weeks ago | I am completely baffled as to |
I am completely baffled as to what point you're trying to make and I'm quite sure my point sailed right over you're head too. You picked two outstanding examples of what a real football players ought to be. Devin and Denard have always done whatever the coaches want without complaint or hesitation - block, tackle, switch positions, etc.... And you would never ever hear those words (I don't want to block) coming out of their mouths. Like I said above, maybe the interviewer misunderstood or failed to follow up with a question letting him know he would be doing a lot of blocking as a receiver at Michigan? But all I have to judge is this quote that makes Andrews sound like a bit of a prima donna. |
3 years 48 weeks ago | Yeah I can't believe the |
Yeah I can't believe the interviewer didn't ask a follow up. Thats an incredibly shocking thing for a football player to say and not clarify. |
3 years 48 weeks ago | Andrews is not a true football player. |
I'm glad we missed on Mark Andrews. He doesn't want to block? GTFO with that crap and go play dolls or something. You don't think Jeremy Gallon blocks his tail off? Wow, I've literally never heard a football player say those words. |
3 years 49 weeks ago | I heard on another site that |
I heard on another site that Scarborough is being recruited by Alabama as a WR instead of RB. That may be the reason for the renewed intrest. That and Alabama already has a stable full of NFL running backs. |
3 years 50 weeks ago | Here is the video of |
Here is the video of yesterday's press conference. I don't think anyone posted it yet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbG4m9l8kJk Hopefully someone is able to embed that. |
3 years 50 weeks ago | This is better than the |
This is better than the Clowney hit. Clowney destroyed a kid 80 lbs lighter than himself. Ross just blew up an offensive lineman who probably outweighed him by 80 lbs. |
3 years 51 weeks ago | 247 Rankings are pretty bad |
Right now they have Michael Ferns rated almost the same as Deon Drake. And yeah, everything there is about selling subscriptions. |
4 years 1 week ago | I still effing hate Rocket |
I still effing hate Rocket Ishmail. Thanks for reminding me. |
4 years 2 weeks ago | Yup. |
Yes. It really was just coaches being coaches. SBnation has the video: http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2013/3/8/4079900/ohio-state-kic... Pretty unremarkable if you ask me. Not sure why its getting all the attention. |
4 years 2 weeks ago | True. I love Coach Brown. |
True. I love Coach Brown. Free info and interviews on recruits. Just like what the pay sites are trying to sell me for the low low price of $9.99 per month!!!! I used to love Tremendous for the same reasons, but he sold out and now wants to make a living selling me information about the University I love and recruits who might go there. Lol, can you see the reason some are polarized? |
4 years 2 weeks ago | Arguing with stupid people |
Arguing with stupid people will bring you down to their level, then you will lose on experience. |
4 years 3 weeks ago | Espn put him on their "Watch |
Espn put him on their "Watch List 300" just yesterday for this very reason. That means they're projecting him as a 4 star prospect. |
4 years 3 weeks ago | If you're still reading this |
If you're still reading this thread Coach Brown, some of us still love you. Thanks for all the FREE info. You're a true fan. And even if the news isn't always rosy, we still want to hear it. |

I wish I was a baller.... edit: way too slow for this board (or to be a baller) |
4 years 7 weeks ago | Hoke wouldn't have answered |
Coach Hoke would know better than to even answer a question like that. And certainly wouldn't badmouth former players. |
4 years 8 weeks ago | Yep, saw the same thing on |
Yep, saw the same thing on TOS and was very relieved to hear these are just recylcled rumors from last week. |
4 years 9 weeks ago | Hand specifically names Bud |
Hand specifically names Bud Foster as his favorite coach but says Michigan's coaching staff is his favorite. After reading the article I think the op is making a big deal out of nothing. The interviewer just quoted some nice things Hand had to say about each of his top 5 schools. He definitely wasn't hinting at Michigan being his leader because he likes the coaching staff the best. |
4 years 9 weeks ago | Not sure if you're updating |
Not sure if you're updating you're list but I've heard quite a few names that should be added to your list. QB: Tyler Weigers, Andrew Ford, Caleb Henderson, Coleman Key RB: Joe Mixon, Johnathan Hilliman, Elijah Hood, Mikale Wilbon, Sony Michel* OL: Sam Mustipher, Orlando Brown, Jamarco Jones, Nathaniel Devers TE: Kyle Rachewal, Nick Weishar, Ian Bunting, Ethan Wolf, Chance Sorrell WR: Derek Keif, Darean Watkins, Jaylon Grandison, Moe Ways, Dominique Booth DT: Enoch Smith, Craig Evans*, Andrew Brown* DE: Connor Sheehy, Gelen Robinson LB: Kyle Berger, Troy Reeder, Brandon Lee, Clifton Garrett*, Nyles Morgan*, Dante Booker* CB: Damon Webb*, Troy Vincent, Jalen Watts-Jackson, Darius West S: Montae Nicholson, Quin Blanding* * means outside shot but still worth recruiting |
4 years 9 weeks ago | He's been saying a lot of |
He's been saying a lot of positive things about us on Twitter recently. I've heard the same about Stanford though so we should tamp down expectations until his visit. |
4 years 9 weeks ago | Whatever happened to Hunt |
Whatever happened to Hunt last weekend? I thought he was here to visit us but ended his visit at the Michigan/Ohio bball game in Columbus? Maybe thats why he's no longer being recruited. I think 6 OL is more than enough anyway. Bring on Green and Smythe! |
4 years 10 weeks ago | Remember to click MgoBlog ads |
Wow, this sucks. That was my second favorite Michigan site behind mgoblog. I'm dissappointed but they deserve it and 247 will be a lot better because of these guys. Everyone should take this as a reminder to click on a few ads here on MgoBlog. The ad click revenue is how Brian is able to make a few bucks and keep this site free! |
4 years 10 weeks ago | I believe Reon Dawson is also |
I believe Reon Dawson is also visiting too. Buckling up may be prudent? |
4 years 12 weeks ago | I don't think this makes BW look bad |
I miss the days when players stayed with one team for their whole careers. But those days are long gone and Wells is just stating reality. And towards the end of the article Wells admits he hasn't lived up to expectations. |
4 years 13 weeks ago | I was trying to think of who |
I was trying to think of who the sixth EE this year was and you nailed it. Thanks. |
4 years 14 weeks ago | Does not compute.... |
I was just on the free 24/7 message board and someone copied and pasted an LT tweet from three hours ago: Laquon Treadwell @SuccessfulQuon Hmmmn.........I sure hope this report is wrong. |
4 years 14 weeks ago | This. |
We're way too thin at CB still. I guess if Lewis turns out to be better as a receiver, that is where he will eventually end up but we really need depth at CB right now. And as others have pointed out, he might need a year to get bigger before he is ready for any positionl |
4 years 14 weeks ago | To your point |
A few years back Charles Barkley was considering running for Governor of Alabama. When a reporter asked about a possible run he said "why not, if it weren't for Mississippi and Arkansas, Alabama would be last in everything". |
4 years 15 weeks ago | I'm glad you posted the |
I'm glad you posted the "good" in your title. There has been so much bad recruiting news lately I'm just happy to get through the day without losing another recruit. This is indeed, very good news. |
4 years 15 weeks ago | Nice Schwag |
I have no problem with giving these kids a gift package for all the hard work they put in. Too bad they don't get a little share of the bowl payouts too. It would be nice if they got a check for a thousand bucks or something and call it a grant or scholarship award. |
4 years 16 weeks ago | Sorry for another "I heard" |
Sorry for another "I heard" comment but I've also heard that Stribling is due for a big ratings bump. I was assuming that mean't he would be a 4-star. Not that I care so much about stars and rankings, but it does seem like an affirmation of our coaches eye for talent, eh? |
4 years 16 weeks ago | I believe I saw a tweet last |
I believe I saw a tweet last week regarding Deveon Smith and Rivals rankings. Supposedly he's going to make a huge leap into the top 100 today due to the monster senior season he's having. Deveon my be one of our most underrated recruits to this point. |
4 years 16 weeks ago | I'd be really suprised. He |
I'd be really suprised. He was like our 3rd commit right after Shane and Dymonte. I'm sure there is some other explanation. |
4 years 16 weeks ago | Snoop Pearson |
I laughed too when I saw Snoop's pic next to Jeremy Gallon's name. Quite a resemblence. |
4 years 18 weeks ago | I hate ND for a bunch of |
I hate ND for a bunch of reasons. First of all would be their smarmy fans. I'm originally from the Chicago burbs and ND fans are just as unbearable as Ohio or Lil' Brother. Next, would be the fact that they just snubbed the B1G in favor of the ACC. And finally, although I could probably go on, is that they don't deserve the season they are having. We should've beaten them and a few other teams probably should've too. ND proves that being lucky is better than being good. |
4 years 18 weeks ago | I'll always remember the day |
I'll always remember the day Bo died because one of my female co-workers who knew I was a big Michigan fan came running into my office saying that Michigan's coach had died. I was horrified and couldn't believe Coach Carr dropped dead right in the middle of the season. After frantically looking around the internet I realized it was Bo, not Lloyd that had passed. |
4 years 19 weeks ago | Scorpion! |
Scorpion! |
4 years 21 weeks ago | Another reason to hate TAMU |
They tried to steal Bo from us in the early eighties. I was too young to remember the details but my father talks about Bo almost leaving for a $3 million/10 yrs payday to Texas A&M. Back then, it was richest ever I think. But the Alumni got together and took care of Bo. I think they gave him a couple of pizza franchises or something. |
4 years 26 weeks ago | Disagree |
The gay friends I have might refer to each other as "queer" and mean it as a term of endearment, but would be offended if a stranger just showed up and started calling people queers. Sort of like the "n" word can be acceptable among the African-American community. Oops, didn't read jhender85's above post. Pretty much same sentiment here. |
4 years 26 weeks ago | Would've been funnier if they |
Would've been funnier if they drew dicks on him or something. |
4 years 30 weeks ago | Who want to sex Mutombo? |
Sort of reminds me of an old Dikembe Mutombo story/rumor. Supposedly, he and his team (Atlanta Hawks) walked into a strip club and the first thing he said to the women was "Who want to sex Mutombo?" |
4 years 30 weeks ago | I believe Shane wanted to |
I believe Shane wanted to enroll early, but his school (De La Salle) doesn't have the ability and/or inclination to allow him to do that. |
4 years 30 weeks ago | 11 Warriors too |
11 Warriors is using it too. Right now. http://www.elevenwarriors.com/ Look near the top right of the homepage for the poll. The last poll choice is AIHRBG. Btw, feel free to influence their nice little poll while you're at it. |
4 years 30 weeks ago | In that interview, Beyer said |
In that interview, Beyer said that he switched positions from last year. I believe he is not the starting WDE this year. What position did he play last year? |
4 years 30 weeks ago | Me too. Reminds me of the |
Me too. Reminds me of the Bo/Woody days. My father and grandfather used to tell stories of Woody sending spies up to watch our practices and Bo closing them to the media. Even if Hoke is just being paranoid, it ads to the mystique of the program by keeping practices closed to the public. |
4 years 31 weeks ago | Is this a trick question? |
Michigan should be #1! |

ugh....very sorry for the double |
4 years 31 weeks ago | A close friend of mine quit |
A close friend of mine quit the football team after his freshman year in college. We all asked him to reconsider and told him that he was making a mistake, throwing away a huge opportunity, etc.... None of that mattered to him. He didn't like getting hit constantly. I think my dissappointment came because I felt like he was blowing an opportunity I never had. |
4 years 32 weeks ago | Now that you mention that, I |
Now that you mention that, I remember him playing well too. I even remember him sort of chasing down and tackling Stephon Diggs during that game. |
4 years 32 weeks ago | Ondre confessed to being |
Ondre confessed to being around 360 lbs at the Army All American game last year so he's already slimmed down considerably. |

I think he played better than his stats. Plus he was rotating with Clark. Just my opinion. |

4 years 35 weeks ago | Unfortunately UFM is Tapping in to Cass Tech |
For obvious reasons, Michigan fans are blissfully unaware of a offensive line recruiting battle going on at Cass Tech for the services of Dennis Finley. Finley is a 6-7 300 lb OT who is rated as a mid 3 star on all the recruiting sites except ESPN where he was awarded a fourth star (just barely). Given the fact that most of the OL talent in the Midwest has already committed elsewhere, Urban Meyer is going after Finley pretty hard at this point I believe. Michigan State wants him too as well as Wisconsin and Illinois and some lower tier schools too. Unfortunately, there's just not enough room for every Cass Tech kid at Michigan. Cough, cough....Delano Hill. |
4 years 35 weeks ago | Are the coaches firm @ 24 in |
Are the coaches firm @ 24 in this class? If Treadwell and McQuay or Green commit and then Fuller or Hargreaves wanted to be a part of this class, would the coaches make room somehow? |
4 years 35 weeks ago | Wow, the man does it all. |
Wow, the man does it all. And with class. |

Hmmmn. In this scenario, I don't mind taking the leftovers. |
4 years 36 weeks ago | You're the one who needs to |
You're the one who needs to be told not to get their panties in a bunch. A few posts ago, you blatantly accused Auburn of cheating and paying players for the past 30 years. Now you're flipping your lid because another random dared to suggest Alabama may be as dirty as any SEC team. You're a funny little troll. |
4 years 36 weeks ago | Billy Price to OT? |
Rational Buckeye- Is there any truth to the rumor that the coaches are considering moving Billy Price to the offensive side of the ball because of lack of depth? |
4 years 36 weeks ago | I believe USC's 2013 class |
I believe USC's 2013 class will be 18 recruits. From what I've read, they are limited to 15 schollies per year but as long as 3 of the recruits EE, they can be counted towards last years class. But I could be wrong so somebody correct me if you know better. |
4 years 37 weeks ago | I agree. And I don't think |
I agree. And I don't think the coaches would accept a commitment unless he's 100%. The things that bother me about this is that just a week ago he planned on visiting Oklahoma and Ok. St. as well as possibly visiting USC. Thats a huge change in such a short time. Guess we will find out "soon" according to the young man himself. |
4 years 37 weeks ago | oops, please delete if |

I was nine at the time so I have no memory of the game but my dad still brings this one up once in a while. And he's still pissed about it too. |
4 years 38 weeks ago | Funny. Tell Magnus he goes |
Funny. Tell Magnus he goes by Successful Quon on twitter. I don't think he'd be insulted by M fans calling him Quon. |
4 years 39 weeks ago | I would think even someone |
I would think even someone from W. Virginia would believe we gave RR a fair chance. He had 3 seasons at a premier football university. His best season was 7-6 and he lost every game to our cheif rivals OSU and MSU. Even if he were given a fourth year (last year), no one believes he would've won 11 games including the Sugar Bowl. |
4 years 39 weeks ago | That was really cool. And |
That was really cool. And emotional. Thanks for posting that. Too bad Chris, Jimmy and Ray couldn't be there to share that with Juwan too. |
4 years 39 weeks ago | Taco Pants! |
Now that is a true Michigan fan dog's name. Unfortunately, the name is the easy part. Getting the dog to watch the game with you is the impossible part. Every dog I've had hides when the Michigan game is on. |
4 years 39 weeks ago | I was also suprised by the |
I was also suprised by the boxers. I kind of thought boxing was on the decline. Almost everyone I know is much more into the UFC. |
4 years 40 weeks ago | This. I was especially angry |
This. I was especially angry with Congress when they decided to butt in. As if they don't have enough real problems to deal with. Frankly I think the owners have donated so much $ to the politicians, that the politicians do their bidding. And I'm not singling out either party, they are both beholden to their campaign donors. The owners used the bought and paid for Congress to make it seem like baseball was really getting cleaned up. The whole thing was about image, not a genuine desire for a clean game. Anyway, good for Roger. I'm happy he beat those bozos. |
4 years 40 weeks ago | Perfect response. I like his |
Perfect response. I like his confidence. And I believe the coaches frankly explain to the recruits that Michigan is going to bring in top athletes year in and year out. |
4 years 40 weeks ago | I think Bailey and McQuay are |
I think Bailey and McQuay are supposed to be visiting in the next few weeks. Our main competition for Bailey is FSU. It would be nice if this one goes our way. |

Did Ondre say what his weight is right now or what his target weight is? I remember him talking about the Army All-American game last year where he said he played at 360 lbs. |
4 years 41 weeks ago | Thanks for posting that. |
Thanks for posting that. It's not suprising that Hoke and staff pay no attention to the star ratings. |
4 years 41 weeks ago | High School kids do just fine |
High School kids do just fine with long snapping. It doesn't seem that hard. I'm with the pissed off crowd wondering why a walk on can't suffice? But that was interesting to see that the other major football powers feel its an important enough position that they will burn a scholly on it. Trust the coaches and all that.... Welcome Scott Sypniewski! |
4 years 41 weeks ago | Sucks that we missed on Isaac |
Sucks that we missed on Isaac but Green and Wilkins are both pretty good. I just hope Wilkins gives us a fair shot and is able to visit next weekend. Anyway, it seems likely that we might take a 4th receiver if we miss out on these two. Are there any other RB's that have mutual interest? |
4 years 42 weeks ago | Lol. That's messed up dude. |
Lol. That's messed up dude. I wish I could "un-see" this. |
4 years 42 weeks ago | Seems genuine to me |
I gotta say, his apology was a lot more real than any politician's I've ever seen. None of that "I'm sorry if anyone was offended" crap. Seems a lot more genuine than just covering his own ass. I can't speak for everyone but I accept his apology and will happily forget about the incident. |
4 years 42 weeks ago | The fact that he hasn't been |
The fact that he hasn't been kicked off the team is good news. But that being said, this news is very alarming and dissappointing heading into a year with such high expectations. We've been rooting for BWC to live up to his potential for years. And this crap always happens at the position we're the thinnest at. Ef Murphy. |
4 years 42 weeks ago | Treadwell and done |
You've got a good point that we already have two tall possesion-type receivers committed to this class and that Devon Allen would add a speed dimension to our passing game. But I think Treadwell is a much better prospect. I know ratings don't mean bupkis but Treadwell is considered an elite, top ten receiver by almost all of the services. The only way I see us taking Allen is if we whiff on Treadwell (make my head asplode) or if the coaches decide to take 4 wr in this class. I hope neither of these things happen. |
4 years 43 weeks ago | We're waaay overdue |
We're way overdue for some good news. I believe I heard some strong rumors last week that we could get one or possibly two commits very soon. I'm still buckled up.... |
4 years 43 weeks ago | Actually, yes I am. And I |
Actually, yes I am. And I will think of that fucking cowardly "neck-crank" on Denard whenever I see Gholston on TV or see his name in print forever. And, I don't think a one game suspension was a sufficient deterrence from seeing this kind of play again. And I don't think D'Antonio got the message either. Anyway, mostly it should just be fuel to the fire for next years game. |
4 years 43 weeks ago | Sociopath? |
We'll have the answer to that question soon enough. I read the whole article. Apparently Gholston apologized for the incidents and wishes to be thought of as a person of high character. If Gholston turns into a goon and purposly tries to injure our best players again this year, he is a sociopath. If he can play clean, he's not. |
4 years 48 weeks ago | I believe he is announcing at |
I believe he is announcing at 3pm on Tuesday (tomorrow) at his school. |
4 years 49 weeks ago | No prognostication but I'm |
No prognostication but I'm hoping to see some good stuff tomorrow. I want to see a crisp, efficient Denard passing game. I bet everyone is particularly interested in the D-line. I want to see how BWC and Jibreel look as the starting NT and DT. I want to see how Devin Gardner looks at WR. And I really want to see how the EE freshman play. Joe Bolden has been getting a lot of mentions in spring practice pressers and Jerrod Wilson too to a lesser degree. |
4 years 49 weeks ago | From what I hear, Dymonte |
From what I hear, Dymonte played a critical role in the recruitment of Ben Gedeon. |
4 years 49 weeks ago | Productivity loss |
I didn't hear about this last night. What a great way to wake up. There will definitely be some productivity loss at work today. |
4 years 50 weeks ago | Its a mystery |
You are assuming that local schools didn't want him. Perhaps it was the other way around? Maybe his plan was to go to school someplace warm and he let MSU, Iowa and Wiscy know he wasn't in play. |
4 years 50 weeks ago | Please don't shoot the messenger. |
Unfortunately, Mathis may have some grade issues. I'm just passing along some info (not sure how solid) that I read on 24/7. http://michigan.247sports.com/Board/59424/RE-Mathis-8886671/1 The article is in the Michigan section but it appears to be from a USC fan. I remember last year we wouldn't take Aaron Burbridge because of questionable grades and I think Anthony Standifer was misssing a requirement so I know how strict our requirements are. I hope these reports are false, but they should be looked into before we pencil Mathis into our rotation. |
4 years 50 weeks ago | Yeah, we really do have a |
Yeah, we really do have a decent shot at finishing the class that way. And the other WR will be a stud too. We're in on so many good ones. |
4 years 50 weeks ago | We have so much talent on the |
We have so much talent on the D-line that we are going to have to have line changes like in Hockey rather than individual substitutions. |
4 years 50 weeks ago | Saban looked like their best |
Saban looked like their best QB. |
4 years 50 weeks ago | Its a matter of depth |
If you didn't like the coaches decision to not redshirt Talbott, get ready to be very dissappointed over the next few years. I don't think Hoke & Staff can afford to RS many players. The pressure is on to win and win now. Perhaps in a few years when he's had four or more recruiting classes and plenty of depth he will have the luxury of RSing players? |
4 years 51 weeks ago | Guilty. |
And halfway expected a belated April fool's prank. |
4 years 51 weeks ago | There were a few big name |
There were a few big name receivers I didn't see mentioned: Darell Daniels, Robert Foster, Marquez North and James Quick. Not that any were Michigan leans, I was just wondering if you've heard Michigan is being considered by any of these players? |
4 years 51 weeks ago | 3* Devin Butler |
Is this one of those cases where a guy is "criminally underrated", as Aquaman loves to say? On paper, it looks like we already have two cornerbacks committed that are higher rated than Butler plus a killer safety. Seems like we would only be interested in elite DB's with so few spots left. |
4 years 51 weeks ago | That sucks bro. I enjoyed |
That sucks bro. I enjoyed your updates. Hope you change your mind. |
4 years 51 weeks ago | I stand corrected by the man |
I stand corrected by the man himself. Sorry, I thought you had some way of verifying which kids have offers and which ones didn't. |
4 years 51 weeks ago | Magnus does a good job of |
Magnus does a good job of keeping track of who has been offered: http://touchthebanner.blogspot.com/p/2013-offer-board.html JoJo has not. |
4 years 52 weeks ago | Daniels is just one of many |
Daniels is just one of many high quality receivers we are in hot pursuit of. You can check out interviews and updates about Daniels on Tremendous' site: http://thisismichiganfootball.blogspot.com/2012/03/darrell-daniels-update.html A few of the other receivers we are looking at: Eldridge Massington, Devon Allen, Marquez North, Sebastian LaRue, Marcell Ateman, Demorea Stringfellow and Uriah LeMay. Of course our #1 target is Laquon Treadwell. The only problem I see is that Treadwell is the only one from the Midwest so it may be challenging to get these guys to visit. |
4 years 52 weeks ago | Apparently Sam Webb says the |
Apparently Sam Webb says the coaches are planning for this class to be 24 recruits. That means we have 8 spots left. I hope we finish with Ty Isaac, Henry Poggi, EJ Levenberry, Ben Gedeon, LaQuon Treadwell, Darell Daniels, Greg Webb and Su'a Cravens. |
5 years 4 days ago | Ouch. Too soon, too soon. |
Ouch. Too soon, too soon. |
5 years 5 days ago | I'm sure the coaches could |
I'm sure the coaches could care less about a recruits rankings which is how it should be. Rankings and stars are for fans. Otherwise what the hell are we gonna argue or complain about for the six months of the year our guys aren't playing football? |
5 years 6 days ago | Isaac can play receiver too |
Thats an understatement. I've heard some say Isaac would be considered a top 10 receiver if that were his position of choice. |
5 years 6 days ago | Troll Alert |
Warning to everyone..... This idiot trolls the 247 Wolverine boards too as "HOWARD STERN" making ridiculous predictions that never come true just like he's doing now. Some people just need attention. |
5 years 1 week ago | Sub-positions |
Sounds like we're going to be using a lot of 2 TE formations heading into the future. That means we need more on the roster. I also hear some people talking about sub-positions that I'm not as familiar with. I wish Ace or someone would come out and explain what is the difference between a U-back, Y-back and TE. |
5 years 1 week ago | I don't think we've seen |
I don't think we've seen enough of him to tell if he can "carry the load" one day. He played a little last year (true freshman) so I think that is a good sign of his potential. Anyway, I think spring practices are going on right now so there may be info coming in the next few weeks about our running back situation. |
5 years 1 week ago | Yep, depends on who the RB |
Yep, depends on who the RB and TE are. I'd take Isaac over any TE. I'd probably take Derrick Green over an extra TE too for that matter. I hear his visit went very well. As far as TE's go, there doesn't seem to be that many high quality guys left not committed or heavily leaning towards other schools, so lets use the scholly on a better player at another position of need please. |
5 years 1 week ago | The two guys I'd love to snag |
The two guys I'd love to snag this weekend are Henry Poggi and Deveon Smith. |
5 years 1 week ago | Seven is about the age I |
Seven is about the age I started going. Your son will love it! Makes me wish I was a kid again seeing the Big House through those eyes. |

As long as we're having delusions of granduer, they might as well be really grand, eh? |
5 years 1 week ago | Haha. Ty Isaac is like a |
Haha. Ty Isaac is like a Rorschach test. Everyone sees something different in him. But hey, I'd love a Dickerson/Brown combo back. |
5 years 1 week ago | Who are the other redshirt |
Who are the other redshirt juniors that might not get asked back for a fifth year? |
5 years 2 weeks ago | Athelete |
My impression is that we are recruiting Su'a as an Athlete. He can play Safety but may also line up at RB or WR. |
5 years 2 weeks ago | Michigan won a share of the |
Michigan won a share of the B1G title already based on regular season play. What is at stake if a team wins the B1G tourney? |
5 years 2 weeks ago | Recruiting |
I was thinking the same thing. Every time I turn around someone is posting "Shane Morris said X" on twitter while talking to other players. In fact, I think Shane is really keeping after Ty Isaac by Twitter. Perhaps our recruiters should warn kids of the potential trouble they could get themselves in? Too bad Yuri Wright didn't have a little better guidance last year. |
5 years 2 weeks ago | Dukes, Lewis & Dawson |
Dukes, Lewis and Dawson are all in Scout's top 300. Last year all of the recruits in the top 300 on Scout were ranked as 4-stars. So, I would expect all have a good chance at getting their 4th star by the end of the recruiting cycle. SIAP |
5 years 2 weeks ago | Jabrill Peppers |
Get an offer out to him right away too please. |
5 years 2 weeks ago | My first thought too. I just |
My first thought too. I just checked the Onion homepage and it's not from them. And April 1st is still weeks away so.......... |
5 years 2 weeks ago | It's Ace! |
I'd be suprised if I'm the first one to point out the resemblence with McLovin. |
5 years 3 weeks ago | Gideons |
When I first heard his name I thought I heard Ben Gideon and immediately thought of the bible distributing evangelical group called the Gideons. |
5 years 3 weeks ago | I still can't believe we got |
I still can't believe we got Kugler and the rest of the o-line. All of these kids seem like high character individuals as well as good athletes. |
5 years 3 weeks ago | Exactly |
By all accounts, he is a very talented lineman and could potentially play guard or center. Rivals and Espn rate him at 4-star while 247 and Scout give him 3 stars. We are think at O-line and have 4 guys graduating. Kozan would be a big help at a position of need. |
5 years 4 weeks ago | I'm worried that Isaac is |
I'm worried that Isaac is distracted by too many other teams at this point. We can't go all the way down to the last days of next January waiting for a commitment from this guy. If Deveon Smith or another decent 4 star running back wants to come to Michigan I say we take them first and hope that Isaac will still come. But judging from this interview, he is by no means a lock for Michigan. |
5 years 4 weeks ago | The only explanation. |
Kate Upton must be on hostess duty again this weekend. |
5 years 4 weeks ago | Dymonte moved up too |
I just noticed Dymonte Thomas moved up to #40 overall on 24/7 rankings. I believe he was #77 previously. Edit: LTT moved up too. Can't remember what he was but he's #89 overall now. |
5 years 4 weeks ago | Agree totally. Even small |
Agree totally. Even small and medium size companies are hiring social media directors all accross the country. |
5 years 4 weeks ago | SIAP but did it say anywhere |
SIAP but did it say anywhere what Treadwell's timeline is? I hope we don't have to wait till the Under Armor game again, sheesh. |
5 years 5 weeks ago | Totally agree and I'm afraid |
Totally agree and I'm afraid to go to bed because I might miss another 4 star or two committing before sunrise tomorrow. |
5 years 5 weeks ago | 41 minutes ago on Twitter, |
41 minutes ago on Twitter, Tremendous said that we might not be done for the day. So maybe we do get one more. At any rate, today has been amazing. |
5 years 5 weeks ago | On twitter TomVH pointed out |
On twitter TomVH pointed out that this time last year we had ZERO commits and it took all the way untill May for us to land our seventh recruit. I'm sure the fact that Hoke had only been on the job for a month at this time last year had something to do with it, but damn we sure are off to a fast pace this year. I would also bet that six out of last years first seven commits weren't 4 star recruits. So we're off to an even faster and better start than last year. |
5 years 5 weeks ago | I'm listening. I think Sam |
I'm listening. I think Sam said sometime this hour it will be announced. And damn Bosch was an awesome surprise! |
5 years 5 weeks ago | Ethan Pocic |
That would be pretty amazing. Not too many recruits higher on our board than Pocic I bet. |
5 years 5 weeks ago | Hilarious Gif |
That shit is real damn funny until it happens to you. |
5 years 5 weeks ago | Fwiw Scout has him as a mid 3 |
Fwiw Scout has him as a mid 3 star rating (86/100) and he doesn't seem to be ranked by the other services. However, I think I'll trust Mattison and Hoke's evaluation methods. |
5 years 5 weeks ago | Awesome show. And the only |
Awesome show. And the only reason I wouldn't love to see a real zombie apocalypse is because I'd miss Michigan football. /s |
5 years 6 weeks ago | There are a bunch of big |
There are a bunch of big names visiting this weekend. Some posters on the 247Wolverine message board are speculating that we might get a commit or two this weekend. Specifically from Chris Fox (high 4 star o-line) and Jaron Dukes (not ranked but probably low 4 star wr). |
5 years 6 weeks ago | Sounds like we'll have plenty |
Sounds like we'll have plenty to complain about regarding Urban Meyer and his methods but I don't think this is one of those cases. I seem to recall at least two instances last year where Jamal Berry was either in a fight or just plain attacked another student on the quad. The articles posted here about the incidents seemed to indicate Berry had either a drug problem or perhaps mental health issues. Anyway I hope the kid gets well and gets to play football again one day. |
5 years 6 weeks ago | Deveon Smith |
I've been hearing a lot about him lately. Some of the people talking about him seem to feel that even though he is as of yet unrated, he is nearly as good as Ty Isaac. I've even heard a few say he might be better (but those are in the minority). I think 24/7 is the site I've heard him talked about most on. |
5 years 6 weeks ago | Deveon Smith |
I'm suprised he wasn't considered a top 100 prospect. |
5 years 7 weeks ago | Warren Sapp |
Pee Wee reminds me a little of Warren Sapp. Can't wait to see him walk-the-walk next year. |
5 years 7 weeks ago | I love your optimism. |
I love your optimism. |

Post a link so we can at least see what you are talking about. |
5 years 7 weeks ago | Lol, what a jerk. |
Not cool man. |
5 years 7 weeks ago | Wow, this really really |
Wow, this really really sucks! |
5 years 8 weeks ago | Thanks for posting that. |
Thanks for posting that. Scout does a great job of breaking down recruiting rankings by school, conference and even by position. Its also helpful that they assign a point value to each player. Michigan already has the number #1 offensive line class and we still may add blue chips - Garnett and Diamond. Maybe Kozan too (low chance at this point)? Our defensive line is rated #5. Linebackers #3. DB's #10 with blue chip Reeves still a strong possibility. There are a few things about their rankings that bothered me. One area that surprised me was the TE/WR category. According to Scout Funchess, Williams and Darboh are all 4 star rated and Chesson is a high 3 star. I'm not sure why we didn't make the top 10? Seems like a mistake on their part. The other thing that bothered me was our conference ranking. As a whole the B1G is ranked #5. We're slightly ahead of the Big East and just behind the ACC in recruiting as a conference. I suppose it could be because Penn State is having a down year but I also think schools like Michigan State and Wisconsin are doing a poor job of capitalizing on their on-field success. Seriously little bro, 11 wins and you should be able to grab half dozen 4 star players at least? |
5 years 9 weeks ago | I don't think the board is |
I don't think the board is being hypocritical. Yes its true we do seek information and access as fans but people don't like Ace Williams in particular because of things he's done in the past (unverified rumors, phony predictions, taking credit for insider info on paywalled sites, etc...). In this case, no one was mad at Ace Williams per se, they were just mad that this proven scumbag may have been the one to break the news about Yuri Wright. The AW hatred was there long before this story, thats why I say there is no hypocrisy. |
5 years 9 weeks ago | Teabagging is a sex crime? I |
Teabagging is a sex crime? I love how the police claim they're taking this very seriously. Yeah right. I'm sure they're laughing their asses off too. |
5 years 9 weeks ago | Great. I hope its on par |
Great. I hope its on par with what the basketball players have in the new PDC. State of the art training facilities are a must if we want to recruit against the top football programs. |
5 years 9 weeks ago | If we were going to take 2 wr |
If we were going to take 2 wr before Stonum was dismissed, it seems logical that now we would be looking to take 3. |
5 years 9 weeks ago | I hope not. We're almost as |
I hope not. We're almost as thin at TE as we are at WR. |
5 years 9 weeks ago | Totally agree. Thats why I |
Totally agree. Thats why I felt the OSU punishment was a slap in the face to schools who don't cheat. |
5 years 10 weeks ago | I didn't see a rating for him |
I didn't see a rating for him on Scout or Rivals but 24/7 only has him as a 3-star (88 rating) which is actually slightly lower than Jehu Chesson (89 rating) got from them this year. Although his offer sheet seems to be of a much higher rated recruit. |
5 years 11 weeks ago | I think he's visiting Jan |
I think he's visiting Jan 13th. (btw I think Garnett is visiting that weekend too) |
5 years 11 weeks ago | If anyone finds that deal |
If anyone finds that deal again, please post it. Thanks. |
5 years 12 weeks ago | I bet you had some epic |
I bet you had some epic battles in your day. |
5 years 13 weeks ago | Its not beyond the realm of |
Its not beyond the realm of possibility that we get both Reeves and Wright. We were interested in Wright long before Anthony Standifer decommitted so I assume the plan all along was to take 3 corner backs. |
5 years 13 weeks ago | Good pickup. I like that |
Good pickup. I like that Morris is going to have a high quality corps of receivers the minute he joins the team in 2013.. |
5 years 14 weeks ago | I would rather have Pharaoh |
I would rather have Pharaoh Brown as one of our TE's than either Skip Holtz or Sam Grant. I hope the coaches can find a way to get him back on board. |
5 years 14 weeks ago | Molk to Lions |
I'd love to see David Molk go to the Lions. |

One of the best rivalries in sports will be renewed Thursday night when the Canadiens visit the Bruins in Boston (7 p.m., TSN-HABS, RDS, TSN Radio 690).
At Thursday's morning skate in Boston, the Canadiens announced that Peter Budaj will start in goal against the Bruins, giving Carey Price a rest. Budaj has made 13 appearances this season, posting a 5-4-2 record with a 2.06 goals-against average and .921 save percentage. Budaj has a career 3-0 record at Boston's TD Garden with a 1.67 GAA.
Price has played in 43 games this season, posting a 23-16-7 record with a 2.44 GAA and .921 save percentage.
"It's part of the plan that we've created with (goalie coach) Stephane Waite," coach Michel Therrien told reporters in Boston after the morning skate. "We are coming up toward a stretch of four games in six days and it's very important for us to manage Carey's energy level so that he can be at his best when he plays."
Therrien added that apart from the change in net, he will be using the same lineup that beat the Carolina Hurricanes 3-0 on Tuesday night at the Bell Centre.
This will be the second of four meetings between the Canadiens and Bruins this season. The Habs won the first game 2-1 at the Bell Centre on Dec. 5. The Canadiens have won their last four games against Boston going back to last season, but the Bruins are 20-5-2 at home this season. However, since 2000, the Habs have a 21-13-4 regular-season record in Boston.
"We've had a natural rivalry with the Bruins over the years and over the decades," Canadiens coach Michel Therrien told reporters in Brossard after practice Wednesday. "They are always games that are exciting to play, and there's no doubt the way we played (Tuesday) helped our team's confidence to play this game. The Bruins are playing well, so it will be a big challenge.
"We've got a physical presence," Therrien added. "Douglas Murray makes his presence felt on defence and we have George Parros, too. We've got some guys with size and speed. Every time we face the Bruins, both teams are ready to play, and I know that my team is going to be ready to play."
The Canadiens announced late Thursday afternoon that they have called up forward Christian Thomas from the AHL's Hamilton Bulldogs. Thomas was to fly to Montreal Thursday night and be available for games this weekend.
After Thursday's game, the Canadiens will play back-to-back weekend matinee games at the Bell Centre against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday and the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday. Both games are 1 p.m. starts as part of Super Bowl weekend.

HOLGATE - With an eye toward a new school for all students in the district, voters will be asked to ante up an additional 6.7 mills of property tax on Nov. 6.
The levy, if passed, will raise about $3 million to pay the Holgate Local School District's share of constructing a new school building for 595 students in grades K-12.
In a show of optimism, the district just announced the purchase of a 50-acre building site on the east side of town for about $290,000.
"We have reason to think it will pass.
"This community has really rallied behind us and we've seen no strong opposition at all," Superintendent Terry McDowell said.
Holgate voters overwhelmingly passed a 2.5-mill operating levy in the last election.
"That's the kind of support we get from this community,'' Mr. McDowell said.
A campaign committee of 67 people, headed by Gary and Debra Jones of New Bavaria, has been "extremely active," Mr. McDowell said.
The Holgate district takes in New Bavaria and Pleasant Bend.
The Ohio Classroom Facilities Assistance Program will pay 82 percent of the new-building cost. The district must pay the remaining 18 percent.
The local district must buy land on its own and account for maintenance, Mr. McDowell said.
"The state will give us $12.6 million and our share plus the land cost makes it a $15.7-million project," he said.
A taxpayer with a home valued at $100,000 would pay $234.50 annually if the levy is passed.
Planning and construction would take three years, with students occupying a new building in August, 2004, the superintendent said.

Yesterday we learned the not-entirely-surprising news that Lindsay Lohan was reportedly found in an unconscious state in her hotel room near the set of her new Lifetime made for TV movie Liz & Dick. Thankfully, the hullabaloo turned out to be much ado about nothing. Paramedics were called and they determined that there was nothing wrong with Lindsay at all. Today we get to see a new photo of Lindsay on the set of her film late yesterday, hours after her medical scare working late into the night. As you can see in the photo below, Lindsay is fully conscious and seemingly hard at work.
Hours after paramedics rushed to her hotel room, Lindsay Lohan was back on the set of "Liz & Dick" … and TMZ has the photo of LiLo in all her Liz Taylor glory. As TMZ first reported, Lindsay was checked out in her room at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Marina del Rey … but was NOT taken to the hospital as others had reported. It was a case of exhaustion and dehydration.
You may recall that it was reported that Lindsay had been working long hours before her spell of unconsciousness yesterday so, yeah, it deffo sounds like she was suffering from exhaustion. I know that celebs like to use "exhaustion" as the explanation for many suspicious incidents but, honestly, I believe it this time. It seems like Lindsay Lohan can't sneeze without it becoming national news so this may not be the last drama to strike over the course of Lindsay's career comeback. For now, everything's A-OK. Let's see how long it lasts.

The events at two universities, Ohio State and Virginia Commonwealth, were billed as the official kickoff of Obama's re-election bid, even though he's been solidly engaged in his campaign and over a year ago filed the necessary paperwork to run again.

I won't be using the AKG K240DF, they were just borrowed for a few days. And since the response should be as flat as possible (I don't know what you mean by transparent) isn't almost no bass equally as bad as too much bass? Could the lack of bass on the K240DF be because I wan't using an amp, or does it just boost the volume? And would DACs (such as a Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 or Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6) be a replacemnt for an amp? Or do DACs not have amps and you have to use an amp anyway? I really don't want something that's bad for me, I'm just confused because this guy from the studio uses the DT-770 (along with the K240DF), another guy that was online on a chat on a online music store told be the Beyer DT-770 Pro are best monitoring headphones under 200€, Stephen Swartz (a great but not too famous producer) uses them while sometimes switching to monitors... I'm not saying that I believe the other guys that tell me the DT-770 or that Stephen Swartz's suggestion (I chatted with him) would make me choose the DT-770, but this stuff just confuses me. I really want the best I can get for monitoring/mixing/mastering purposes in this price range.
This graph shows flat FR, try to get some hps headphones with a similar graph that are not over emphasize the bass. You can try the K-240MKII @ 55 Ohms at guitar center. I don't know the KRK, or the Sure hps, but you probably can compare them as well at your local music store.

Reward Doubles For Arsonist Capture
Monday, February 27, 2012
Aired 2/27/12 on KPBS News.
With a burned out shell of a cafeteria, kids at Birney Elementary eat outside in tents.
SAN DIEGO The reward to find the culprit who started a January fire at Birney Elementary School doubled today to $10,000. San Diego Crime Stoppers is matching the $5,000 reward previously offered by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
The school in University Heights is open, but far from back to normal.
On the outside, the auditorium at Birney Elementary School looks cheerful with its bright yellow mural. But on the inside, it's still a charred, blackened mess that smells like a campfire.
The blaze started around midnight on Martin Luther King Day. Someone broke into the auditorium and poured accelerant in three areas before igniting the blaze.
Graziela Damian is Student Council President. She described the effect on the children.
"We do a lot of stuff in the auditorium and to have that all just taken away have it replaced with just a tent to be our cafeteria? It's also where we do our after school programs. Everybody just feels really bad about it," she said.
Cayton Larmer is the Student Council Fire Marshall.
"When we have our awards, where are we going to go? We can't go in our tent because that would take a lot of preparation and we'd have to haul a lot of crud out. I mean… where? What if it rains on that day?" the youngster asked. "And what about our performances? That's a big issue."
Not all of the news has been bad. The community has sent in donations large and small. A pallet of juice drinks from Whole Foods sat outside the auditorium to replace some of the snacks that were destroyed. Several food trucks that serve students on Fridays donate 15 percent of their profits from one day each month.
The school does have insurance, but little repair work has been done so far.
Beret Dernbach, Student Council Vice President, thinks anyone with information should come forward.
"If anyone thinks they know who did this, then just tell us, because we're really suffering, a lot," the youngster said.
The auditorium will not be fixed until next school year.

Most of them will be doing each other the whole time while I am getting around to them. I could even tip the room service guy with one.

Chinatown club faces two-day suspension after inspectors witness inappropriate touching
The Glass Slipper Gentleman's Club in Chinatown has been issued a two-day license suspension after two patrons inappropriately touched two dancers during a routine inspection by Boston police detectives, officials said.
Two detectives from the Licensed Premise Unit were inspecting the club on Sept. 25 at about 11:55 p.m. During their visit, detectives observed a small room at the rear of the first floor which was reserved for private dances at the price of $30, according to a police report. It was there that the detectives observed the inappropriate touching.
The touching was happening even though the club had specific signage in the area that read "No Contact — No Touching," said Nicole Murati Ferrer, chairwoman of the Boston Licensing Board.
The two detectives informed the manager on duty, Daniel Wong, and the co-owner Nicholas Romano, of the rule violation. The conduct was then stopped, Ferrer said.
Romano and Wong could not be immediately reached for comment today.
The Licensing Board voted at a hearing Tuesday to suspend the club's license for a period of two days, Ferrer said.
The board must now issue a statement explaining the reason for the suspension, and the owners of the club have five days to appeal the decision.
"If they do appeal it, we hold the suspension until the appeal gets resolved," Ferrer said.
In a similar incident, a dancer at the Glass Slipper in May 2010 was found to be dancing too close to a patron in a third-floor lounge. The prior incident was taken into consideration when the board decided this week to issue its suspenion, Ferrer said.

You could always go with the four historical alchemical states. Back when people though alchemy was possible.They are Albedo (whiteness), Rubedo (redness), Nigredo (blackness) and Citrinas (which is yellow and not green but its still pale).
If you wanted to further distance yourself from the names sounding like actual colors you could also use the Greek names for those things.
Rubedo = Iosis
Albedo = Leucosis
Nigredo = Melanosis
Cintrinas = Xanthosis

5:45 am – Knocking at my bedroom door.
I peek out from my blankets at the alarm clock and groan. "What?"
Two sets of feet shuffle near my door. "Mommy, there's a giant grillo in our room."
I sit up in bed. "What do you want me to do about it?"
"Can't Daddy come kill it?" the 11 year old says. (He still calls us Mommy and Daddy. I can't imagine that will last much longer.)
"Daddy went to work already," I answer. "You're the man of the house now. You have to kill it."
The feet remain at my door. Nervous silence. A deep breath. "Okay."
I feel a little guilty but I can't kill it. I have a major fear of grillos. They're like huge jumping cucarachas. I hate them. I hate them so much. ¡Qué horror! I cringe, and go back to sleep.
5:55 am – Screaming.
I slip some clothes on and get out of bed. I find our youngest son sitting on the dinner table the same way a woman stands on a chair when there's a mouse in the kitchen. From the bedroom I hear our older son alternately smacking furniture with a chancla and yelping.
6:00 am – The grillo has declared a temporary victory as the kids had to get ready for school and he has hidden behind the heaviest piece of furniture in their bedroom. Every few minutes he chirps and it sounds like he's laughing at us.

CrossFit and the Virginia Earthquake
Ok I'm not going to lie — I freaked out yesterday during the earthquake a bit. I was at my desk on the 6th floor and I felt the bldg adjust. I said to Tiffany, an intern here for a few more weeks — what was that? Then the bldg started to shake. I said let's go Tiff. We headed towards the stairs. While I was in the hall on my way — in my head, I thought about the WTC people and how they were in the hallways, stairways with no control over what was going on. I got freaked out. I thought holy cow, I have no control and what about my family as I started down towards the stairs. I could feel myself panic. As I hit the 5th floor stairs, this large lady got in front of me. She moved way too slow — and my lack of filter in my head said to her 'lady, you are moving way too slow" and I wanted to reach out and shove her aside. I didn't but it was tough to hold back the urge. I thought about moving faster to get in front of her because there was a ton of space between her and someone in front of her. It was seriously annoying and I had some anger towards the entire situation. All i wanted to do is get the heck out of the bldg.
Which brings me to a point. The fact that I am in shape makes it much easier to react and move out of scary situations. This large lady, seriously couldn't move any faster than she was moving. Being out of shape and fat inhibits her ability to react and quite frankly – it impaired my ability as well. This was yet another opportunity for people to learn how important being fit is — CrossFit prepares you for all sorts of situations!
I feel bad that I had so much annoyance towards her. I want to be that understanding person. I know it's hard work and I know people are busy. But it's not impossible! And once it starts to affect me, then all bets are off. Sort of like bugs. I am fine if bugs are outside where they live. Once they come in my house, they are goners. So the fact that this lady slowed me down from what I thought was a dangerous situation, angered me. I even think at one point she stopped to check something in her purse! I didnt even grab my purse or phone — All I Wanted Was to be OUT of the building. Virginia is not supposed to have EARTHQUAKES!

Inspired Dons whip Gauchos
The last time Santa Ana College defeated Saddleback, President Bill Clinton was fielding questions regarding his relationship with Monica Lewinsky, James Cameron's ground-breaking film, "Titanic," was cleaning house at the box office, and the average price of a gallon of gas was $1.15.
It was that long ago.
In their first victory over the Gauchos since 1998, the Dons (3-2, 1-1) rode quarterback Hayden Gavett and halfback Areseo Lakey to a 33-20 Southern Conference triumph on Saturday night at Saddleback College.
"I feel great for the guys," Santa Ana coach Geoff Jones said. "It's been a long week for us; we took a tough loss against Grossmont last Saturday, and we lost one of our own earlier this week but our guys worked hard all week.
"We have a good group of people on this team, and it's fun to see them reap the benefits of a win like this."
Playing a few days after the death of former teammate Brandon Brown, the Dons took it right to the Gauchos.
Gavett amassed 260 yards total offense (207 passing, 53 rushing) and three TDs. Lakey finished with 92 yards on the ground. But the biggest play was made by defensive back Romel Lilly.
With Santa Ana clinging to a seven-point lead midway through the fourth quarter, Lilly halted a promising Saddleback drive with an interception he returned 36 yards for a touchdown.
After a 23-yard TD grab by Saddleback's Chris Simonton capped the first-half scoring, Santa Ana scored 16 consecutive points in the second half to pull away from the Gauchos (1-3, 0-1).
"The entire week our game plan was to play hard and in a hurry," Jones said. "We wanted to run as many plays as we could, and we wanted to go fast."
In his first career start, Gauchos quarterback Jake Geringer completed 29 of 48 passes for 231 yards and three touchdowns.
For the Register
Grossmont 49, Orange Coast 31: The Pirates (3-2, 1-1) took an early 10-0 lead, then were blitzed by the Griffins (4-1, 2-0), who scored five consecutive touchdowns. Robert Penny gained 121 yards on 22 carries and scored once for OCC. Quarterback Jon Newsom went 17 for 34 for 237 yards and two scores. Buzzy Yokoyama had eight catches for 67 yards and two TDs.

well... i have to say... of course, there's a possibilty on that. Hare was the 1st one died. i really don't die to any other characters in the next eps (but it feels too late for that their story..)
and the opening has also some hints..

The problem I see with Inori at this point and is she probably wont try to pull Shu back from the dark place he is headed down. She has shown before that she really does not have a problem with violence. As long as Shu is doing what he thinks he should she will walk beside him and follow his orders just like she did with Gai. Although she did disobey Gai a few times because of Shu. I just dont see Inori with her lack of emotion being a really big help here. I think its going to have to fall on Ayase to bring him back from the dark side of the force.

From the way how she reacted to Shuu's zombie state, it is extremely unlikely she will follow him blindly. Furthermore Inori did have some reactions to Shuu issues here and there (for instance, when he rebelled against gai's plan).
Inori is probably the only character alive that would not leave Shuu in such state.

I dont feel Inori will leave him she will definitely be by his side. I am unsure as to how much help Inori will be. This may take a combined effort with everyone trying bring back Shu back from that dark place. Shu was the only one who could get Inori to ignore Gai's orders so yes she will instrumental in helping. I just dont think she can do it alone, at best she is emotionally clumsy, I always felt Hare was Shu's main emotional support pillar what happens when a building losses that main pillar. I feel this is the part of Guilty Crown that will make or break the show me exactly how the writers handle this situation. I am very excited to see how this plays out.

I never implied she would literally leave him, instead, not doing anything and thus leaving him in such state.
Either way, there is a drastic difference between "not even trying to pull him back" and "not being able to do that alone". It is very likely Tsugumi and Ayase will do something, but that won't really reach him unless some huge event/speechdrill him some sense.

Do you feel some type of huge event will need to take place to snap him out of this, and if so what possible event could it be? For some reason i feel the loss of Hare and his reaction to it is a set up to help him deal with other potential losses later. Gai also agonized over people whom lost their lives on missions he sent them on. But he did it in private with only Inori.

Shuu become an anti-hero now? nice one..
Yoshino sensei has really made his own C.G copy.. (with reversed name G.C) Let's compare the similarities.. -Japan being dependent -Emotionless main character girl -Mecha (in C.G it's much cooler) -King Ability/Power -The loss of the one who trusted the main protagonist the most -Become a tyrant.. graowr! |

Not that unexpected, in fact most people already predicted that she would die at some point due to her death flags that she has set a few episodes earlier. Add to the fact that the name of this episode was sacrifice and most people already saw it coming.

Once I found out she was a regular school girl who has always liked him I knew she had the potential to get a flag. I didn't think it would be this episode as I was watching it, figured there would be some build up... and I didn't pay attention to the episode name, lol. But it doesn't chance the fact that I was in agony as I was watching it with tears coming down my face.

It's like mentioning "Misaki Mei" in the Another series. She's also a childhood friend (see above) with a void that's a healing one. Inori is prob the only character that won't die unless you drop a nuke on the area due to whatever was done to her in the past. She's essentially Mana.

I always held the possibility of Hare's death in mind from the beginning of the series. With how the creators described the meaning of the show's title, and the overall nature of the setting, I pretty much knew better than to assume everyone would live. However, with Hare being the girl we all knew wouldn't get the guy (and eventually becoming the official white mage), I anticipated her death more strongly than most other characters (besides Gai, of course).
However, the fact that it scarred Shu so deeply was unexpected to me. I was figuring that a bunch of his friends would die at once in a massacre before his eyes, or that they would die one by one, and once they were all gone THEN he would go berserk. Guess not. I wish they had done it that way, though (preferably by killing them one at a time). It would've made his loss more heart-wrenching, and his tyrannic attitude a bit more justifiable.

UPDATED –> Thanks to facebook's fast moving evolution, this article has become some what outdated. Please read the new Tutorial on how to add HTML to facebook that talks about creating a custom page on facebook.
So you have a Facebook account for your company and you have friends on there, what next? Facebook allows you to create a Fan page where you can dedicate this page to anything from a specific product to the entire brand and within this page you can create a custom looking page which can have a lot of functionality from your company's website including links to products and sales pages. Once you have the page created you can collect Fans which does not require that you know the people like it does when you add friends. This expands the potential customer base significantly, so I recommend that every business has a Fan page setup.
In this article I will walk through creating this Facebook Fan page, step by step. I have to note though that like in previous Facebook articles that I wrote, as Facebook updates their site and the Applications get updated the information in this article may become outdated but the main idea and basic setup should still apply and I am sure you will be able to find the current information simply by searching Google.
Ok, let's begin.
First thing you need to do is log into your Facebook account and click on the Ads and Pages button in the left sidebar. Then click Pages
On the next page you will see a page setup form. It's pretty simple so just fill out the appropriate fields. You can check the check box at the bottom to hide the page from public viewing until you are done setting it all up. See image below:
At this point the page is setup. Now we need to configure all the options and customize the page. First we'll upload a logo or an avatar for this page. Hover your mouse over the "question mark" image at the top left of the page, and click on Change Image, then click Upload a Picture. Browse your computer and upload your picture. See image below.
Next, click on the Info tab and then click Edit Information on the top right. Fill in the Basic Info and then the Detailed Info. Once that's done, click Done Editing. Now click inside the box in the left sidebar that says "Write something about …" and write something about your company, keep it short, no more than two sentences but I'd stick to one.
At this point you can start uploading photos and start writing content in the Notes section. Click the Plus icon next to the tabs and select Notes, on the next page click Write A New Note button. You can keep adding new notes there as many as you want. Also explore the other applications that are available in the Plus drop-down.
To take this a step further in customizing your page you can create a custom tab (page). This page will accept HTML so you can pretty much design the look of it to be whatever you want it to be. When I say HTML I mean XHTML meaning you can use CSS to style it. You can also add images by uploading them to your own host or an image hosting service somewhere else and then pull them from there.
Here is what I did for my GloThemes page.
In the search box at the top of the Facebook page type in "FBML" (without the quotes) and hit Enter.
On the FBML Application page click the link that says Add to my page.
The next window will display a list of the pages that you have created and will let you install this application to any of them, so here click the Add to Page button next to the page that you want to install this application to and click Close.
After you add the FBML Application to your page you will need to navigate back to your page, click the Facebook logo to go back to your Facebook home page, then click Ads and Pages in the left sidebar, and then click Pages in the left sidebar. Click on the page that you want to configure and you will be back to the page setup page.
Now if you click on the Plus icon next to the tabs row you should see the FBML available in the menu, click on it to add it to your tabs. Now all that's left is to add the HTML to that page.
To add your HTML code, click on the Wall tab, then click the Edit Page link under the main page Picture in the left sidebar. This will give you a list of Page settings options. Scroll down to the Applications and look for FBML, once you find it, click Edit.
This is the page where you will be adding the HTML for your custom "Tab"/"Page".
You can use my code in there as a guide to how to structure your page but you are completely free to design it however you want. Below is the screen shot of what my page looks like (you can also see it live by clicking here):
As you may have noticed you can also send traffic directly to these pages instead of your Wall page.
I hope you find this tutorial usefull. Please leave a comment below.
Until next time,
~ Valik

What advice do kids have for President Barack Obama as he starts his second term? Helping homeless people and pets, having schools start later and improving school lunches are just a few of the ideas submitted in letters written by thousands of kids in honor of National Handwriting Day on Jan. 23. In partnership with Handwriting Without Tears' Mail to the Chief program, KidsPost selected a few letters to share. We hope the president takes time to read these thoughtful ideas. Kids can still write their own letter, by going online to http://bit.ly/presidentletter. (But kids should always ask a parent before going online.)
All Ice Cream Day
Dear Mr. President,
My hopes and dreams for the next four years are for there to be an All Ice Cream Day where you only eat ice cream for the day. Because I really like ice cream, and a lot of other people like it a lot.
Alec, fourth grade
Help homeless
Dear Mr. President,
You should try to help the schools earn more money. Also help the homeless people and you should help lost animals. If we do that, we will make the world a better place. Do you know that I am recycling bottles and paper? I pick up all of the trash in my yard and help lost animals find its owner. If you have time, can you write back?
Stephanie, fourth grade
Better school lunches
Dear President Obama,
I have some advice for you. Let's start off with better school lunches. I eat three times a day and I don't look forward to lunch, so I bring lunch. We should at least get real food! They should be healthier and something more than a microwaved box with food. You should also make longer school recesses so there is less childhood obesity. There are just two of my many ideas. I'll keep sending so watch out for . . .
Your citizen,
Andrew, 10
Schools should start later
Dear President Obama,
I am worried about how early my school starts. My bus shows up around 7 every day. At the beginning of the day, everyone is too tired to actually learn anything. School should start later in the day so that we have a chance to wake up. Education is important because without it, we wouldn't be able to do things like jobs later in life.
Your friend,

Stop the pipeline
Dear Mr. President,
I know you are busy but I have something to discuss. The pipeline should be stopped. It will go over the Trail of Tears which should be preserved to respect the people who walked the trail in the 1800s. It will also cut through Indian reservations and make farmers lose their land. Forests will get cut down too. I care about the environment so I hope you will stop the pipeline.
On education, you should ban tests in schools because kids dislike testing. It shows nothing of what kids have learned or their creativity or analytical skills. Teachers also have their jobs at stake so they pressure kids to do well.

Adopt a Dog Day
My hopes and dreams for the amazing 2013 are that there should be an Adopt a Dog Day. Which means that if you don't already have an adopted dog, adopt one! Because adopting can change many things, including the dog's life, and it can change your life, too. Having a dog is the best thing ever. Dogs are known to be man's best friend and that is 100 percent true.

Proud to have 2 moms
Dear Mr. President,
I would like to thank you for supporting gay rights. The reason is because I have two moms who have been waiting for these rights. I would also like to say if it weren't for them I wouldn't be writing to you; I would still be in Cambodia. So I am very grateful and proud to have two moms. I believe they deserve to have equal rights.

Free health care
Dear Mr. President,
I am worried about health care and homeless people. I think you should make health care free and that handicapped people, like people in wheelchairs and others, should have the government help pay their taxes. And I think we should have more homeless shelters and food drives. Thank you for being the president. Also for making America safe and free.

P.S. I also think that Mondays should be National Free Cake Day.

4-6 kiwi (depending on size)
8 oz plain yogurt
6 oz pineapple juice
dollop of golden syrup
Place all ingredients in a blender. Pulse until smooth. Divide among two 8 oz glasses or pour into one really big glass and serve.
Smoothies are great. Especially for an on the go lite lunch. Plus when you make them at home you can make them to suit your tastes. I agree on the banana thing though. I like bananas but not in my smoothie as the entire thing ends up tasting like banana with a hint of fruit.
My favorites are yogurt lemonade and some berries. YUM! I haven't made one in awhile.
that looks soooo good. rachel, i have no idea how to contact you. I want to share a recipe iwth you in thanks for all you have given me that i think you will like. it uses limes *smiles*
you have made me start cooking again... years ago i would make asian pork stuffed oranges and other things.. then i stopped cooking. Now...thanks to your blog..and perhaps our tastes in common, i am cooking once more. Thank you.
Welcome to the world of smoothies! I love them every which way, and yours looks so refreshing and bright!
I also abhor over-ripe bananas. In fact I won't eat a fresh banana if it has a single brown spot on it. But, I love freezing ripe bananas for smoothies and food processor "ice creams" - it doesn't have that ripe banana flavor, I promise!
Thank you for visiting Coconut & Lime! I read and appreciate each one of your comments.
