TOUCHDOWN JESUS - FIRST
Cool. Just make sure you put in a special teams section this time. Our Space Emperor is merciful and forgiving...one time. He won't tolerate you forgetting him again.
I lived in WF for 8 weeks. I'd want out too. Welcome Beave.
"Hey, nice beaver."
"Thanks. I just had it stuffed."
The Naked Gun was a great movie.
I wonder if announcers will have to keep from laughing when Beaver and Cox are in the backfield???
The next time we lose to USC in the Rose Bowl the headline will be:
"UM Wilts as Trojans Stop Beaver and Cox."
BEAVER!!!!!!!! i just felt like screaming that
He'll be a great recruiting tool as the Coaches can honestly say to High schooler prospects, "Hey, come on up to A2 and i'll hook you up with Beaver."
C'mon MGoStore, there's got to be a great t-shirt idea there somewhere...
There was no blood orgy in that South Park video. What are some people going to bitch about now?
ooooh f yeah
time to move on to DE and OL. good work so far RR.
Good. Beaver is always better than Tits.
Competition makes everyone better. Maybe we can one or both on campus early next year?
"It has been raining all afternoon and Beaver is soaking wet as he sets over the ball. Mike Cox looks fired up and he's been pounding the ball all day. There is a mix up in the backfield as Cox rams into Beaver. Coach Rod will be hard on Beaver for that type of mistake."
the beaver and cox jokes just rooooll in
It's ok to do book stuff and give us blog updates in the same day! You can sleep when you are dead.
We will still buy the book!
rod finally found his beaver...
Shav'd Beaver is in the haus.
Shav'd Beaver is black and BLUE!
well played sir
@Don
"Trojans all over Beaver, Cox still comes through"
I can't see Forcier coming but hey, if USC can collect DE's why can't we collect QB's?
GBW had a headline:
"Can anyone beat UM for Beaver?"
Care to comment, Sparty. Now's your chance.
Shuvurdickina Beaver
Please go back and apply the 'ha ha his name sounds like genitalia' tag to all posts for Tate Forcier too.
Now we need someone with the last name Kuntz.
Imagine a backfield with Cox in it, and Kuntz up on the front.
He may be good, but I don't ever want to see the t-shirts...Shavodrick Beaver...I mean...He better has Teflon for skin...
We don't like the term "beaver." We feel that it's pejorative. We prefer to be called "vagina squirrels."
He may be good, but I don't ever want to see the t-shirts...Shavodrick Beaver...I mean...He better has Teflon for skin...
danthefan | 04.29.08 - 3:56 pm | #
He does has Teflon skin.
What about me?!?!?!
Oh Christ
How do you pronounce his first name?
Is it Shav-AHD-rick Beaver?
Or Shav-OHD-rick Beaver?
Or Shave-o-drick Beaver?
If it's the third one you guys need to build a shrine to his parents regardless of whether or not he ever contributes.
HAHAHAHA we have 12 top 100 recruits haha!
Anyone remember when Brian's book came out last year? Can't wait to get my hands on this year's version
the name Shevodrick is just absurd
Ward, the Beaver just committed to Michigan again!
(that one was for the blue hairs)
have you guys wathed the beav clips yet? that boy can chuck the rock!
Change of topic for a second.
Anyone heard if Udoh is staying or going. I know that most of the speculation is that he's gone, but haven't heard anything official.
hey buckeyechump
you have seven idiot. why are morons never quiet? they are always like" HEY HEY LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME" if i was an idiot i would just shhhhhhhhhhh
is this guy better than Tate? Scout rates him a 3-star and Tate a 4-star prospect. haven't read much about either except here. any insight?
beaver plays against top highschool talent i know that much.
First of all, no number of "top 100" 16 year olds equals the awesomeness that is Shavodrick Beaver and Fitzgerald Toussaint.
Second, what is the informal of "Shavodrick"? Shav? Vod? 'Drick? Rick?
Hey DOMER, so Sunday I flew down to South Bend. I was pretty high (altitude, not Manningham-style), and fast, so I stomped on the rudder real hard and slipped the Cirrus for all it's worth. This was a three-leg XC flight, so the tanks were full. I looked out the window and saw a stream of 100LL pouring out the wingtip fuel vent. I dumped gas all over TD Jesus! The caths are dying by the thousands as we speak and the rest of Jimmah's hair fell out because I poisoned the city.
uh oh Tom, there's another Beaver in town
Beaver is 4 stars on Rivals, FWIW.
is this guy better than Tate? Scout rates him a 3-star and Tate a 4-star prospect.
That's Tits Forcier, warmincali. His name is Tits Forcier. And as far as I'm concerned, shaved beaver is always 5* and tits are always 4*.
Tits are overrated, always stick with the shaved beav. But it would be nice to have both.
And top 250. He is Skeletor skinny, though - 6'3", 175 pounds.
"Slippery Beaver, Hard-Charging Cox Ram Buckeyes"
"Elusive Beaver Tantalizes Frustrated Spartans"
"Beaver, Cox Heat Up, Pound Irish"
"Cox and Beaver A Well-Oiled Machine Against Nittany Lions"
Don, in your headlines about the Penn State game, you'll have to somehow work in that Beaver and Cox will be a well-oiled machine in Beaver Stadium.
Just throwing that out there.
you ARE an idiot, rodfather
RR: Nice job!!!!!! welcome Mr. Beaver. Please now move on to DE and OL we need big help here.
@chitown
Actually, if you ever watched the He-Man cartoons, you'd know that all of the characters (good and evil) were pretty muscular. There was nothing skinny about Skeletor.

It's too easy.
Will Forcier come to Michigan??
Eugene Smith has a tremendous arm and would be a nice addition even before Forcier.
Rob - we have two QB's. Unless one decommits, we won't get another.
I am more excited about Newsome. I am excited about an offense that can both pass and run effectively. RR's offense at WVU worked really well, but Pat White isn't that great a passer. I guess if it works then keep doing it, but I like more dimensions to my offense. In any case, coach knows best.
12 is bukkakeyechump's age.
Who said we were going to be running the "Beaver Spread" now? I like the sound of that.
Chitown I don't think that's correct, I think they'll take Tate if he wants to come.
I cheer for Shav'd Beaver!
Cox, Beaver and T'aint = best backfield ever.
@chitown
Oh, I don't know about that. While I'm sure RichRod's pretty satisfied with 2 QB commits, I think he'd still be open to getting one more in there. I imagine he'd make space for Forcier.
Yes, it might create a problem in the next year or so, but the situation at QB is dire enough that signing 3 would not be a tragedy for anyone involved, including the kids.
I agree that it's unlikely that a third QB is coming, but I wouldn't entirely rule it out either.
Beaver tucks it in for the score?
@Afrocalypse
Indeed, yet another T-shirt idea:
"Teh Beaver Spread is cumming for your wimmenz!"
I already put up the I cheer for Shav'd Beaver one.
Anyone think maybe Rod is just fucking with us as far as name's go. Case in point:
http://misterirrelevant.com/inde...hangs-together/
So we go from 0 big time dual threat recruits to having 2 4* guys in a week, and people are stil clamoring for Tate Forcier or Eugene Smith? Can't we ever be mildly happy?
Ugh, I remember the Fox announcers having fun with Dingle-Berry at the Fiesta Bowl. It was the equivalent of some 10 year olds discovering they can make fart noises with their armpits.
Yes, Beavis and Butthead, their names are Dingle and Berry, thank you for "discovering" that. A blogger caught that months ago. Now please go back to calling the fucking game, you worthless bobbleheads.
(sigh) I hate Fox sports...
Can't we ever be mildly happy?
No. This has been another edition of simple answers to simple questions.

My nominee for comment of the day. nice work.
Dex,
I'm not only happy, I'm f-ing ecstatic. The idea of adding Forcier is just a bonus, and the results of the past week show that Rod will definitely be recruiting some major talent. Now maybe all of the "What happens when he starts recruiting 3 star guys like he did at WV crowd" will shut the hell up. that argument was asinine from the beginning.
Then again, what do I know, I'm like ancient and shit.
Now I'm usually right about these things, especially when I predict them after I read about it on Scout.
But TOM Beaver has been hinting very strongly that UM may still land Tits Forcier. His hint today, though, has me thinking Tits is either headed to UM or...PSU.
Oh man, I love Tits Forcier. I hope this isn;t a "battle vs the war" thing.
I'm not saying we wouldn't "want" Forcier.
BUT, we're in a situation where we need pure number all over the D-Line and in the defensive secondary. Moreover, RR has a hard on for WR's, apparently. So, Point 1, are we going to go out of our way to offer ANOTHER QB when we have 17 more scholarships, and probably want to make 10 of them eitheir offensive or defensive linemen?
Put that aside, of course we'd like to have Forcier. But, the kid has been offered by Auburn, Kansas, Virginia Tech, Texas A&M, Oregon, and Penn St. And he'd be, indisputably, the top QB recruit for any of those schools (given that there are only 4 QB's left rated higher than him, I feel like that's a safe statement). Why would he want to come to Michigan to compete with TWO other 4-star players in his own class, and a 3rd who will probably be a returning starter?
Is it just me fantasizing or do we think RR will throw two QBs in the backfeild and have all kinds of options/pitchthrow/just run it b/c the defense thinks we are going to throw it, pitch it then throw it and has no idea what is coming?
Chitown: All of that is true, but with the non-binding nature of these committments, things change. I would think it to be irresponsible for RR & Co to drop Forcier's recruitment. We'll see, of course, but Iit's not as if it would be unimaginable for Forcier to go blue.
Euros + Beaver = Confusion

You could ask USC, and how the hell does Pete Carroll always have 48 running backs, 54 defensive lineman, 981 linebackers, and 64.9 quarterbacks.
Canc15:
I have heard, from a very reliable source, that Zoltan Mesko is going to figure into this QB rae before it's all said and done.
BGH, that's valid. Forcier says he wants to wait, and I'm sure Michigan will keep talking to him. BUT, the only way I see him committing is if Newsome or Beaver bail.
I'll put it this way - we won't sign 3 QB's. If two sign, a third commitment will get gobbled up by someone else.
Also - do we think Threet is just going to vanish after this year? What if he plays well?
im not sure rr will wait. he seems like the kind of guy that would say ok and move on.
hey can we wipe our beaver with tp?
If there's too much competition, RR will just don the wizard's hat and make whoever disappear.
My guess is that unless Feagin plays great this year, he'll end up as a DB. Threet will most likely have to fight for his starting job in 2009. I think the most developed QB prospect (from the 2009 incoming class) will be given playing time and the other one (two?..probably not, but who knows) will be redshirted.
Sort of a feast or famine scenario; this year, RR has next to no options. Next years and the years after, he will (hopefully) have too many options.
He may be a sleeper in the spring of 2008, but by the end of the summer he won't be. Beaver is an intriguing dual-threat guy with a good arm and explosive athleticism. He is a lot like Oregon's Dennis Dixon both in size and overall skill set. He will be a hot commodity for teams running the spread. Possesses adequate arm strength, can make most of the throws and gets good zip on passes downfield. Shows outstanding mobility, throws well on the run and is at best rolling out of the pocket. Flashes the ability to lead receivers and can be very accurate. Has the lateral mobility to consistently buy time in the pocket and shows good pocket presence. Has the elusiveness to make multiple defenders miss, shows a second gear in the open field and is always a threat to make something happen with feet. Isn?t afraid to take the big hit when throwing downfield, has good intangibles and is a fierce competitor. Is fast enough to play receiver if he were moved there, but he is pretty far along as a passer so we don't anticipate that happening. He can be a bit of a slinger in terms of overall mechanics, but he does show great RPM's on short-to-intermediate throws and has flashed the ability to be an accurate passer both in the pocket and out. Beaver is fun to watch and can be a nightmare as an improvising signal-caller, but he must develop patience and timing as a passer to sit and work through his reads before just tucking the ball and letting his legs do all the work. We have seen him do this at times, but he is raw and likes to be in the shotgun so he can get back and move around, even when it's not necessary. Overall, Beaver has great size, speed and a live arm and once the rough edges are chipped away he could be hard to handle in the right scheme at the next level. Excellent prospect with upside.
espn take on beaver
Wow, you cut 'n pasted THAT from a TV show? You are good.
http://michigan.rivals.com/viewp...=1&

You can watch one of his videos on his rivals page. Bad camera work makes it tough to judge his accuracy.
i typed it
court reporter training
Also - do we think Threet is just going to vanish after this year? What if he plays well?
Ha ha, that was a good one, chitown. I'm crossing my fingers, but...I didn't like what I saw at the spring game. I'm bracing for an awkward and inconsistent offense next season.
No, I'm not down on Threet, I'm just thinking of him as a stopgap measure until we get a QB who is a little more comfortable in RichRod's spread. A QB who's been running that type of offense for a couple of years (even in HS) will be more used to the split-second decisionmaking that is required.
So I guess yeah, I'm assuming Threet will just vanish into the depths after this season. I could be wrong.
threet ran the spread in highschool
well with a name like beaver bet this fucker is tuff!!
see a boy named sue
rodfather, while it was called an option, it was remarkably disimilliar from what RR runs.
wishbone triple option?
not a bareback beaver spread huh?
i'm not sure what the exact configuration was, but i do know there was little emphasis on the QB running the ball or at least in comparison to the spread option.
i just hope people don't turn on threet if he struggles out of the gate. that's natural and, most likely, not all of it will be his fault.
Joe licks tate???
as long as hes smart he should be fine
there was some guy who stopped by this board a couple months ago who claimed up and down that threet crumbles under pressure but he had no real evidence to back those claims up.
who knows, i'm just excited about the 2008 season.
I would also point out that whether Threet ran a spread offense in HS is mostly irrelevant because we've already seen what Threet can do with a spread offense against a D-1 defense. Unlike Newsome or Beaver, we've already gotten a taste of what a Threet-run spread offense is going to look like, and it's going to be inconsistent and awkward, IMO. He'll be better in the fall, but he's not going to be 10,000x better. He'll be ok, but not good enough.
Is Newsome or Beaver the answer? I don't know. But I'm pretty sure that Threet is there simply to "hold the line" until we get someone more capable at the helm.
But let's cheer Threet/Sheridan on anyway, because like it or not, those are our guys for the 2008 season. Here's hoping they put up 30+ every game.
I expect that Beaver will decommit by the end of the recruiting period. It just makes no sense for a guy this talented to take the chance that he is behind Newsome for at least 3 years.
While he could be better than Newsome, it is a big risk for a guy regardless of how confident he is in his abilities. It is one thing to come in behind Feagin, who even if he does well and starts for 4 years on merit, you will still have two years as a starter, but to come in with a highly touted guy in your class is risky. I expect that Beaver will be convinced of this by TCU or some other school where he will come in as a prohibitive favorite to start in year one or year 2.
has anyone else noticed that ESPN is being remarkably positive when it comes to analyzing UM recruits? I don't remember them being like this in the Carr era.
Any good program will have competition at QB, and Newsome and Beaver would make each other better.

so do you think forcier would stay away too with newsome in the fold? USC does this kind of thing all the time. while we are currently not on the same recruiting level they are i see no reason why we cant start doing the same.
"ND Figures Out How to Handle Cox, Doesn't Know What to do with Beaver..."
Anon,
Abso-fucking-lutely. ESPN has been a bit softer on UM lately and has provided more coverage because the fort has been taken down by RR.
It's actually somewhat similar in politics. I am not saying that this is the main reason that the Bush administration gets a bad rap, but a friend who with experience in politics once told me that the media is harder on Karl Rove and Dick Cheney because they are not friendly at all with the media. How correct he is, I don't know. He is a Republican, but he tends not to be an apologist, so take it FWIW.
Just wrong, but ballsy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k...h?
v=kMIUOiMeDH4
I detest Cheney and Rove most for their policies and politics, but it is true that most media types who aren't trying to fellate them off-camera (FoxNews) say that both are obnoxious, asshole pricks.
its not rocket science, when you're a dick to the media (i.e. lloyd), you tend to not get the best press from them. RR has let the media into practices and is always available for an interview and now coincidentally we are getting more love from the media.
I just banged Bruce Bochy.
From that book:
"Chad Henne, Mike Hart, Mario Manningham, Adrian Arrington, and Jake Long all return to what promises to be one of the most explosive offenses in Michigan history. Terrance Taylor and Shawn Crable anchor Ron English's sophomore defense. Oregon, Notre Dame, Penn State, and Ohio State all travel to Ann Arbor. It will be a season of excitement..."
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HEY HEY LOOKADME LOOKADME
fukn dork
McGuffie lacks top end name-iness
This is so awesome.
Newsome and Beaver. Excellent haul. But the question still remains - can RR recruit at a major program? Does he even know what conference he's in? I'm worried about all the turnover on the staff. And I'm kind of disappointed we aren't sending OMG Brady QBs to the NFL anymore. Someone hold my delicate hands
(/Michigan Man fan)
Sidenote: Is there ANY appropriate nickname for Shevodrick Beaver? Maybe Shevo(sounds like Tebow)? Everything else just embarrasses him.
And as for a gentlemans agreement:
You can bet yer ass every coach in the Big Ten will be trying to sway one of Newsome or Shevo to decommit.
To the earlier comment that tUOOS has 12 top 100 commits, its 11 top 250 commits you idiot. LOL!! A good recuiting start for tUOOS no doubt, but I am resting well that in what seven years now at tUOOS that Tressel has yet to figure out how to stop any team that has talent and runs the spread. See Texas 2yrs ago, Illinois, Florida, LSU (and LSU did it and they dont even normally run the spread).
Maybe Carty will call each of the Big Eleven coaches and ask them whether they will promise not to recruit anyone already committed to UM. And then print their responses.
@huss
spread qb's dont get drafted though!
except for steve young, michael vick, don mcnab, vince young, and jus watched espn tebow be a top 5 next year. i guess only the one with talent. haha
ones
i just saw a new channel say pedophilia is ok because of the miley cyrus vanity fair cover! huzzah!
Love what RRod is doing, but I hope he doesnt turn his back on in state talent. We have been losing a lot of our best talent and now lil' brah is in the mix.
I don't think you can predict how effective Threet will be in the fall based on the spring game. Spring games are not played to show effectiveness. He is inexperienced, its a new offense, everyone is still learning. He probably will not be great, especially at first. A player like Newsome certainly could beat him out in 2009. It is sure to be ugly at times but I am hopeful it will not be a complete year of pain on offense.
I would have preferred Forcier's passing form and nice spirals to Newsomes speed and ability to go deep on the run but I seriously doubt we can have both. I'm relieved we got one and Beavers a good back up plan.
Just my 2 cents worth.
Threet will do the job. He has the skills and the arm. All fans and f____in bloggers just need to believe.
anyone have a torrent for Brian's book?
Hey Cheap- what the f___ is a torrent? Is that like a rain squal or wind blast or what?

15-year olds, dude. With country music recording contracts.
NICE GOAL!!!!!!!!
I'm happier now
Hey when she signs that contract to become a celeb any lawful protection of molestation goes out the door!!!

Ok its time for McNeal to commit
that girl clemens "got with" is so white trash. she had a fight with her country singer wanna be boyfriend. he choked her and punched a crater in her nose. then she had his baby... then she went to jail for violating probation.
i can't believe her when she says they had an intimate relationship. she's just hyping her book, documentary, and new reality tv show, all of which happen to be due out at the end of the summer. can you say using the attention?
Osgood is good
Datsyuk is pretty useful, too.
well sounds like clemens wife wasnt too suprised to hear about it...neither am I for that matter
what a great play...he basically took it out of theodores glove
Can anyone tell me why the Red Wings wear the "A" and the "C" on the right side of the jersey instead of the left?
I've seen pics of them from the "Original Six" days...they wore them that way then, too...but not recently.
Oh hell
By the way does anyone know any recent info on the OL from Trotwood Freeman....? esp. now that richrod could use some good ones in this class
I'm not as nearly as comfortable on my feet as datsyuk is on skates.
I'm also not nearly as comfortable on my feet as Bindi Irwin is on fat f***in beats.

"that girl clemens "got with" is so white trash."
She is a country music singer - of course she is white trash.
Clemens is just a trashy broskie himself
"Maybe he'll notice her now" is such a good song and McCready used to be straight up gorg. She has certainly fallen from grace, kind of sad actually.
Sideburns-
It has something to do with the construction of the new RBK jerseys, seams didn't allow for the letters on the left for some reason or other. Best I've got.
Two hot rumors/not rumors, just tidbits: Corey Brown is getting warm to Michigan, and Nixon according to Rivals, is now listening to UM a bit more.
A quick peek at Scout's data from prior years reveals that RR is far ahead in terms of the number of commits he's reeled in this year compared with past years.
We have 7 commits as of yesterday, April 29. At that time in '07, we had 3 commits; in '06 we had 4 commits; in '05 we had 1 commit; in '04 we had 3 commits.
Is this at all significant? Is RR just a great recruiter? Or has the excitement surrounding the new regime made the difference? OR, is HS football recruiting changing completely? Has the proliferation of sites like this, Scout, Rivals, etc. placed more pressure on coaches and recruits alike to make decisions earlier?
I think its a bit of regime change, a bit of huge needs at a few key positions (including Slot which makes every undersized speed demon ever available), and a bit wizard hat.
buckeyes on the fan house are hilarious.
...quit shittin' yourselves.. it's b'cuz THE CUPBOARD WAS BARE---now you can go back to your '09 recruiting class circle jerk --that is all.
what?
I didn't think Osgood was up to the task. Looks like that was dumb.
We have 7 commits as of yesterday, April 29. At that time in '07, we had 3 commits; in '06 we had 4 commits; in '05 we had 1 commit; in '04 we had 3 commits.

I would say yes to all of the above. Yes, he is doing a good job recruiting early, but i think that the pressure to recruit is getting out of hand, in large part due to these websites and all of this hype around recruiting. The frenzies surrounding RoJo and especially TP are proof of how out-of-hand it has become.
Cue the MICHIGAN MAN.....
Newsome is being compared to a college version of Donovan McNabb. After watching his highlights, Beaver looks like a young Randall Cunningham.
Yeah DP, people I talked to last week who have a connection to the program said Newsome was more of a McNabb type than a Tebow type. Pass first, can run if he has to, but not spectacular at it. I was thinking along the lines of Dennis Dixon with the Beav.
As long as UM doesn't get any Coy Detmers, I'll be OK with those comparisons.
Ninja - I've read that Newsome is more of a "McNabb in College" type - which actually lots and lots of running.
I must say, THE MICHIGAN MAN's blog isn't doing it for me. I was hoping more for one post a day, for it to be like 1-2 lines long. Something along the lines of:
fuck fuo$ and that cheatbad tre$$nutz
explaining it just makes him lose his edge
Did the Michigan Man jump the shark?
Somebody bring up something interesting or go payoff a recruit to committ. I'm really bored and don't feel like working.
what does the phrase "jump the shark" even mean?
Ninja - how much money you offering?
You got any Corvettes to offer?
jump the shark =
when something good does something stupid and it no longer fascinates and pleases.
ex.
sam mcguffie jumped the shark on that long run where he was almost caught by that slow white lb and showed a lack of top end speed.
bgh,
Fonze was water skiing and jumped a shark. People say since that instance, Happy Days went down hill.
For instance, this is me jumping the shark. (crumples paper).
you jumped the shark long time ago (throws crumped paper at you)
Or more topical:
ND football jumped the shark after the '93(?) game against FSU when their Heisman Trophy winning qb decided to go play in the NBA and shortly thereafter the Keebler Elf left.
I kid you not. Being in DC, you don't often here these little gems.
2 guys just walked by and 1 asked where the other graduated from. The guy said Michigan State, the other guy said "hell ya brah, me too."
only in Detroit does a city council woman (a) threaten to shoot someone (b) threaten to beat soemone up (c) call the council president shrek and (d) get pwned by 8th graders
http://info.detnews.com/video/in...dex.cfm?
id=2198
thanks for the clarification on jumping the shark
Only in Detroit. Boy, that shows alot of class. City Council and Mayor are a national joke.
Yes, the Fonzie Happy Days bit is the correct definition. For example, when a good TV show (0r anything) does something over the top and ridiculous and it seems like the TV show never regains "what it once was".
There was a website detailing exactly when things jumped the shark, but then I think the website itself jumped the shark, leading to a rip in the space-time continuum.
i love how people like DOMER somehow equate being a U of M fan with being a huge fan of detroit's municpal government.
Anybody catch Costa's Now last night. Sounded brutal for the deadspin editor.
Charlie is a twinkie factory! we call him neat pants, sum call hm turkey tits. anyway UM is sweet. Ann Arbor is great! south bend is a dump!! for real
@BGH
I never equated Detroit gov = UM fans. Far from it. Few times I've been to AA, most of the folks were decent. I just think it is sad for Detroit that these clowns are running the show. Come on, the "Gansta Mayor". WTF is that about?
@FA:
What's up with the Deadspin editor?
DOMER has pretty much been a nob the past couple of weeks, and I hate to agree with him, but....
i have penis envy! one night i was smokin bong hits and this movie Rudy was on. and since his whole family were dirt bags just like mine", i could really relate. so i was like im am totaly a nd fan.
wat ?
Our football team met with a sports psychologist that worked for ND once. He said "Rudy was a cancer on his team". True story.
Nevermind, just checked out Deadspin. I'm guessing a "You're a blogger, wtf could you possibly know" style flap?
Ken Tremendous/Michael Schurr from FJM was on Costas, right
I was reading that TCU board, RE: the Beaver, and there was this one post that was like " Don't go to U of M, Shavodrick. Detroit is right down the road!!!" Detroit sucks, yes, but its not Chernobyl - well, not yet, anyway.
Heh, I too agree with DOMER's assessment of Kwame K.
formerly-
Good, because I can't stand deadspin anymore. Talk about a bunch that loves the smell of its own farts...
The best part about Kwame is that he rolls with a crew. What other mayor wears, exclusively, alligator leather shoes? I mean, that's hard. There's a picture on the News' website today (w/Beatty) and he's wearing a CEO hat.
This was more Buzz Bissinger flipped out. Called them out for using cuss words and in the words of south park... "der takin' r joooobs."
Apparently they were pulling comments and telling Leich to defend his writers as if they didn't understand the difference between posts and comments. Braylon Edwards was also on the panel, and he was described as frightened by Bissinger's general demeanor. Leich was given no chance to defend himself. It was compared to a liberal on Fox News.
Remember when OSU fan commenters said that the Boren to OSU had nothing to do with his brother, that they hadn't even offered Z. Boren yet? Yeah, about that...
In defense of Deadspin, they do have a rather wonderful picture of Maria Menounos up today. And by wonderful I mean I'd love to wear her thighs as earmuffs.
I found that picture equally delightful
Ninja-
*insert obvious shaved beaver joke here*
Uh-oh, now someone's going to jump Bri's shit over his "writers". Perhaps we should behave.
Nah, fuck that. So tUoOS finally offered Little Boren? That poor kid got the raw end of the deal in this whole thing, you know he would've killed to come here.
@Bluwolverine:
That picture just got 10X more wonderful, I hadn't even thought of that. Now, if you guys'll excuse me, I'll be absent for the next 5-7 minutes.
@ Dex
Your Gunner story is hilarious. Nice work.
Ninja-
From the MM article:
"Model/Actress and entertainment correspondent Maria Menounos will attempt to qualify for the AVP Cuervo Gold Crown Huntington Beach Open on Thursday, May 1st in Los Angeles. Menounos hopes her athleticism coupled with her 5' 9" stature will enable her to experience the same success on the beach volleyball court that she's had in front of the camera..."
YES
YES
I hope that makes it on FSN. They show AVP right?
A thousand times yes.
Ever see those shots of her out jogging a few weeks ago? Holy Zues's Hammer that girl has a body! She's obviously worked extremely hard to get into/stay in that good of shape, and I say good for her. She actually looks healthy instead of like an anorexic coke addict. And by proxy, good for us.
@dex
"He tossed from his mind the night his father, drunk and angry about Denver, decided to hold his own Red Bull Flutag event, drove the family pickup off the side of a cliff, and never returned."
Brilliant.
halo
Domer actually wasn't saying anything negative about UM that time. Kilpatrick is a thug. He is the most corrupt politician that I have ever seen. He's even way more corrupt than that scumbag Mumbles Menino.
haha Zach Boren committed to OSU. Wonder if he'll ever get to play.
It's never a good sign when you cannot tell the difference between a real elected official and the fictional Clay "sheeeeyeeettt" Davis

WTF? Lloyd Carr's son was a QB for Michigan?
West Texas:
Yep. Never really got to play.
fuck clay davis.
colin cowherd just went on a rant about ND. ND tv ratings down more than
50% since 2000. god ND sucks. on ND campus we have a weiss heart attack system. today fried chicken is being served, so its amber alert for charlie all week.
dept. of fat ass security
sheeeiiiiiiiiittt
It is truly amazing how many times I've been handle jacked today.
charlie is from the chocolate factory.
someone tell charlie gravy is not a beverage
Domer,
legit question here, what are the fan expectations for nd this year? mid range bowl game? more?
domer, if you stop pretending to be from ND maybe you wouldn't be jacked so much.
fool.
i'm a little lost on the deadspin thing... in sum, huh?
i doubt we will win 5 games. gotta run charlie chokin on a chicken bone. AGAIN!
Costa's Now invites Leich (editor of Deadspin), Braylon Edwards and Businger (pulitzer prize winner for investigative reporting and writer of friday night lights) to a "town hall" discussion about sports media. The part about blogs, from the second bussinger was introduced he went on a tirade fox news style about the obscenities on blogs, their lack of journalistic integrity, and how they're "takin our jobs." he and costas treated Leich like a liberal on fox news
Coach Weiss's manmilk has healing properties than you haters couldn't possibly understand.

ok, so 'Costa's Now' is a tv show? on a tv station?
hbo
bluewolverine has taken over my favorite person on this blog. keep it cumming... i mean coming. damn freudian slip
Nick Saban, on his round of golf with Rich Rodriguez: "We talked about Michigan."
"..........we came from the same home town," Saban said. "I've known him for a long time, and his family. But Brian Griese was his horse, and he can hit it. He did a great job it was fun playing with him."
The two coaches, who will also be linked in history for the 38-day coaching search, are old friends from West Virginia. Rodriguez, you may remember, accepted and then turned down the UA job.
I asked Saban if Rodriguez peppered him with Alabama-related questions, ya know, because he was almost the coach.
"I think he did have the job here," Saban corrected me. "Yeah. But that didn't have anything to do with me. We didn't talk about it. "
OK, fine, so what did the current Michigan coach and the former Michigan State coach discuss? Why Michigan, of course.
"After spending 10 years at Michigan State for me..." Saban said. "You know, when you're in Michigan, it's a lot like being here. It's hard not to develop relationships with the people on the other side. So we had a lot of good friends from the University of Michigan, now he has the opportunity to meet some of them."
Told you that jogging pic was awesome. Couldn't get to it b/c it's blcoked from work. Damn the man!
@DanK: Your PBUH comment was hilarious, btw. I haven't lived back there in 15 years (thank god) so I wouldn't know how that was, but i found it extremely comical.
Bob Costas?
jesus, apostrophes, people.
the golic/coherd thing is comical. golic thinks people tune in to watch ND lose. well, in that case, NBC should have been pulling in a 50 rating in every game b/c they lost a LOT, moron. hell, no one dislikes ND more than I, and even i stopped watching the massacre that was NDs season last year. after the 38-0 "Yakkity Sax II" i forgot they even played. i'd switch over the NBC & say, 'hey, NDs on, they're losing.... eh old news, [click to the ESPN2 game]"
New Beaver post.
"Ward, I think you were a little hard on the beaver. So was Eddie Haskel Wally and Ms. Cleaver."
Lack of DEs a concern. I hope Nick Perry sits for 3 years and gets crabs the 4th.
