U of M thread (in the Lions Forum) :)

Exactly!

spartie did just land a 0* RB, their 3rd 0* player out of 4 verbals so I guess they really are keeping up with Coach Hoke.

All this talk about a return to the Big 2 and little (now) 10 is premature.

Games are won by how many *'s your recruits have. Because recruits always pan out and always provide everything their billed to the teams that recruit them.

Ya gotta believe me.

Beat Sparty on the field, then you can have a leg to stand on. Until then, you're still looking up at "little brother." It hurts, I know.

It's annoying, yes, but the eRRor has moved on and I fully expect things to return to normal this October and for years to come after that.

I'd also rather take my chances on guys rated in the top 250 than guys not rated in the top 2000. Maybe Tressel Jr. thinks differently?

lol ... any recruit offered this early would have to be considered a 'plan' A recruit. Little doubt that Dantonio and staff wanted these guys, stars or not.

Well, maybe the Dumbtonio nickname is truly warranted?

[Rocky Bleier]

Dicktonio?

[froot loops]

He is clearly in the wolverine fan's head. I was listening to the radio a few weeks back and some true blue Michigan fan called up and said that he's hoping for a second heart attack to finish him off.

Thats a clear contrast to when the Wolverines were running up the score on Bobby Williams and then Lloyd Carr angrily defended Williams saying he was a good coach.

[Rocky Bleier]

I want Mr. Personality to stay as long as he can handle the coming beatdowns. It's going to be fun watching his grumpy face as he gets his payback for poking the Big Dog. No more Carr. No more Rodriguez. Meyer is in Ohio, and Hoke has taken over Michigan. Nothin' but blue skies.

Hokie fan David Wright made good on a bet he lost. He now looks like a winner:

[chemiclord]

I call bullshit.

The Mets aren't winners.

That's sick.

I want him around. He's got some defeats coming to him.


The only coach I have true ill will (and even that is in question) for is Lou Holtz. I just hope his tongue falls off so I never have to hear him again. Or, he could just retire. That's fine too. He might have kids that love him.

Oh, Jerry Sandusky is on the real shit list.

MSU really has done a good job of developing players, but the level of talent coming into Ann Arbor combined with a competent (finally) coaching staff has me feeling pretty damn confident.

I'm not really threatened by the prospect of UofM returning to elite status. It really doesn't mean much as far as Dantonio not being his normal steady self and slowly building the program up bit by bit.

Basically I'm pretty confident UofM will have to be truly elite, more often than not, in order to beat a Dantonio led MSU, more often than not, as things stand now. And if that's the way it goes then so be it.

[SeattleLionsFan]

I think Dantonio is a reall asshole and a giant prick.

I also think he's a heck of a coach. MSU should be near the top of the B1G while he's coaching (I think Narduzzi helps a lot too). The rivalry should heat back up without many 4 or 6 game streaks over the next couple of decades.
