Wolverine247 Board

I've banned people for that? You might want to check before you just accuse me of doing things. I also took a 1 year ban one of our mods gave out to one of your posters down to a few days on his request after reviewing his posting. It's up to each individual mod how they ban people and for how long. There are 14 or so of us, so there are bound to be inconsistencies. I've turned down at least 3 requests from our posters to ban you, but hey, I'm just being a hypocrite, right?

You're pretty bold on your home board, calling me a hypocrite and a dumbass (in the UM-MSU game thread). I actually did expect better from you.

Look champ, it's hard for it to return to the Big 2 Little 10 if Michigan can't get out of its own division. At Large BCS bids are great and Michigan earned their Sugar Bowl bid. I think all of you would have taken a shot at the Rose Bowl over the Sugar though.

Can we consolidate the arguing into one thread? There are like three threads with essentially the same argument going on right now.

As you should be.

I would say someone who gets 4 or 5 starts in.

I want to say 7 or 8 on O, I have stated 8 in the past.

QB= Robinson
RB= Toussaint
FB= Hopkins
WR= Roundtree
LT= Lewan
LG= Barnum or Schofield
FG= Omameh

Fringe WR= Gallon

Side note for the O. Schofield was the backup to all oline positions outside of Center.

Defense I though was 9 at one time, I didn't realize Heinenger (sp) started 12 games, producing little will do that.

DE= Rob
WLB= Morgan
MLB= Demens
SLB= Ryan
CB= Floyd
CB= Countess
S= Kovacs
S= Gordon

Nickel= Avery

That it is, but replacing the interior of the Dline is scary, especially with unproven talent there. At least MSU has White coming back.

Something completely overlooked by most was the lack of bowl practices in the RR era. Every coach uses that time to evaluate the next years returners. The Gator Bowl hardly counts because everybody knew the staff was getting broomed and there was zero evaluation going on.

We have a lot of returning players that have had superior coaching to go along with that valuable bowl practice month.

Don't forget that Dantonio lost to Michigan his first year, and that didn't affect his next 4 years. No new coach at UofM had ever beaten State in year one. Bo lost in 69 then ran a train on Sparty for the next 2 decades (and State was coming off their best decade ever in the 60s).

State's not the same ole Spartans but Hoke is infinitely better than RichRod. I like where things are going.

We hold the upper hand because we kicked the crap out of them, IMO. They will be fired up to play us but they couldn't stop us and Martinez sucks. Burkhead had 30 rushing yards. We can't expect them to fumble like they did but they'll still have to find a way to stop Demard & Co

I think the rivalry is going to be very competitive in the future. UM did change coaches after MD's first year; MSU did not do so after Hoke's first year. Tough schedule for UM this season; getting 9 wins in '12 will probably mean you're as good as you were in '11. UM does get a breather after that tough Non-conf schedule though: Bye, @Purdue, IL at home before MSU comes knocking.
