First!!!!
Comcast is about as popular as George W Bush right now
to be fair, the monte cristo at bennigans is freakin awesome.... so the B10 has that going for them.
For all the suckers who keep forking over money to Comcast - you will get what you deserve when Comcast makes you pay extra for BTN in 2009.
I don't care if I have to pay a few extra bucks for a sports package.
Just give me access to the friggin BTN in my area (Wash DC), via Comcatastrophe.
There's gotta be some news coming out of Ann Arbor. Anyone got a direct (hell, even an indirect) line to the team? Any word on how the freshmen are faring so far? Mcguffie sightings? Etc. etc. etc.?
I'd like to thank Comcast for once again confirming that I'm making the right choice by switching to DirectTV.
The deal that is being described (expanded basic for 9 mos then Digital and then maybe sports tier) flies very much in the face of what was reported several months ago - that this deal between Comcast and the BTN/Fox was a side agreement in Fox Sports San Francisco being sold to Comcast.
The deal described in your post could have been made at any time (and is probably the model that will be followed with Time Warner and MediaCom)
I suspect that what is clouding the issue is that there is (and always was going to be) a different set of rules between the footprint and outside the footprint) and that the reporting cannot be sure of which side is being talked about until the deal is actually released to the public.
If the Big Ten has made a deal that appears on the surface to be a bad one, then they are going to count heavily on state legislatures to force the cable companies to keep it on expanded basic - in exchange for continued community monopolies. State legislators got enough consumer complaints over the past 9 months that they are not eager to have access granted only to have it yanked away again.
What is it disaster to put it on sports package. I think it makes sense. I am a huge big ten fan and I don't want to pay for big ten network during the summer months. I can easily have the sports package during them months i want to watch it and it gives everyone those choices. What is the problem?
I'm so hard for my lover's motha.
to be fair, the monte cristo at bennigans is freakin awesome.... so the B10 has that going for them.

DanK,
You know where I grew up so this shouldn't come as a surprise, but my best friend and I and two of the hottest chicks in school used to skip afternoon classes and go to the Okemos so they could order Monte Cristos at Bennigan's. Of course, keeping with tonights theme, one got pregnant at 20, the other get married at 24, and they've both put on 40 lbs. But once upon a time they were worth skipping school for. True story.
Sirius channel 104 Raw Dog has Verne Troyer (Mini Me) on right now and he is saying he is a huge Wolverine fan. The host (who I don’t know as I typically do not listen to this channel) tells Verne he is a Buckeye fan and hosts some Buckeye show.
Verne is cool with him then asks him what the hell a Buckeye is. The host says it is something that beats a Wolverine. Verne responds back with “I think it looks like a turd or something”.
GREAT NEWS
if you are still on campus.
Taco Bell to the Michigan League by 2010.

Mini-me at Michigan game. Good stuff.
Damn it H4H, I see "GREAT NEWS" and I'm all psyched for the nanosecond it takes me to get to the actual news. I'm thinking a commit or something. And you give me Taco Bell? Dude, go fuck a chilupa.
^^^^^^All in good fun, I do not endorse chilupa molestation.
http://manbabies.com/content/89
Oh wtf?
Just kidding that shit's hilarious. Kinda creepy, but hilarious nonetheless.
slocum gone?
Ninja--we must have grown up in a similar miserable Lansing satellite in which going to Okemos was an event.
In afore-mentioned small town, girls were issued 40 extra pounds on graduation day.
holy schnikes, an okemos reference.
here's a realistic look at ND's upcoming season. Keep in mind that their offensive line is in the bottom 20 of all college football (division three included)
% chance of ND losing
1. SDSU 10%
2. Michigan 95%
3. at MSU 60%
4. Purdue 35%
5. Stanford 30%
6. at UNC 15%
7. at UW 50%
8. Pittsburg 40%
9. at BC 80%
10. at Navy 40%
11. Syracuse 5%
12. at USC 100%
So they're probably looking at 5 or 6 loses in there. But that's only because their schedule is horrid.
Best case scenario is a repeat 3-9 season if msu, purdue, stan, wash, pitt, and navy can get it together.
Come on Moose- you've gotta be fair. They kept it off for the summer after senior year, then the ones who didn't go away to school put on 10 by the time you came home for a football game and 15 by Thanksgiving. By holiday break you couldn't wait to get back to the girl you left at school and by that next summer the girls who stayed home were dating the guy who was probably pretty smart but never cared about school and had managed to get himself a decent job.
Summer after freshman year goes by and things aren't that different, and then she's gotten depressed/comfortable/whatever and by that NEXT Thanksgiving she's got the 40. And it happens to the guys, too.
So, wild stab in the dark: Williamston?
@Blue:
You think their line will still be that bad? I'd have to think they'd improve at least some, there's too much talent not to. And State always plays them well so I'd up the chances of Lil' Bro beating them.
I'd rank a 3-9 Domer season at #3 on my wishlist right after us pulling out a NC (.01% chance) and us beating OSU (40%? chance).
Where is the NU = cheaters post?
@ninja
watch the navy and airforce games, it's one thing if you let all 4 wolverine d-line men sack the QB on one play. It's another when you REPEATEDLY let all four 5-10 240 lb guys from a service academy do that.
They lost their only senior (sullivan?) and their best TE. So yeah, they got a lot of starters coming back. That didn't exactly help their secondary the last few years. Over-rated no-talent hacks with an extra year of experience are still over-rated no talent hacks.
1. Monte Cristos are great and the only reason to ever venture into a shithole like Bennigans
2. Lansing is everything you guys said it would be
skip afternoon classes and go to the Okemos
you must have been in the 'cool' clique, b/c most of the people from there think that venturing up to cruise Owosso/Corunna is the thing to do.
@Dex:
Sorry we were right man.
@DanK:
Yup, never understood that- let's leave a concentration of hicks and rednecks to go hang out with a larger concentration of hicks and rednecks. But then again, I guess if you're a hick or a redneck it makes perfect sense. Once again, nice place to grow up, nice place to visit, stocked with mostly nice people, but.....yeah.
Soooo.. let's review.. so far the storied football program has been fraught with lawsuits and counter lawsuits; racist innuendos; 5 star defections; pissed off alum star jersey issues; ho hum recruits (08's & 09's); women at football camp; and finally Mini-Me showing up and making the players look a bit bigger!!?? That RR IS really changing up things over there!! move over "arrogance squared" as the Spartans are changin' up things too!!!
settle down, sparty. time will unveil your optimism as delusional.
Only thing it was missing was a "PWNED"
man guys we should probably turn in our M fan cards and go be sparty fans after that, i don't see how we could ever counter it.
to me, the accusation of arrogance presupposes that the arrogant party possess a sense of unfounded superiority. accordingly, i don't think arrogant can really apply to U-M (when contextualized within the W-M/MSU rivalry) because, well, our sense of superiority isn't unfounded. it's demonstrated on the football field, year in and year out. that is, of course, when spartan bob isn't keeping the time.
And the funny thing is even with all that we'll still beat them. Oh, Sparty- you guys are just so cute.
W-M? I mean the "w" and "u" keys aren't even close to each other.
micheal j fox is a better typist than me.

Monte Cristo = 40 lbs
So you can take some of the blame for their weight gain, by addicting them to that deepfried delicousness!
I'm opposed to everything that this so called "Ninja Football" stands for...he is a dastardly idiotic kid.
Does everyone know here than he had an incestuous relationship with Michelle Obama?
Ok, anything juicy coming out of camp? It's Thursday and we haven't heard a peep. Someone plagariaze some Scout for me since they didn't want to take my money last weekend.
Ninja, apparently Malek Redd is close to committing, which apparently is scaring of David Oku a little.
Jamaal Berry loving OSU and Dion Sims showing some love for UM. Gabe Lynn lost interest, and RR really wants fat ass Gress.
Lloyd is speaking at an alumni event at the National Press Club in DC tonight. Anyone else going?
Frankie,
You are the worst fake poster ever, though I do commend you on you use of the word "dastardly". And trust me, if you knew me you'd be even more appalled by my lack of conformity in pursuit of a frivolous lifestyle filled with things like "enlightenment", "happiness", and once a year the consumption of Zinger's, because Dolly Madison makes some tasty treats.
Nice to know I'm now related to Michelle Obama though.
Gress has a certain serial killer quality about him that I like. If Sims sees the light and comes in as a DE, that would be excellent. Even as a TE he would be a nice addition.
I've seen Slocum rumors at three different places now. Could be the message board echo chamber (to which I am now contributing), but he'll probably be transferring along with Warren, Mathews, Taylor and Stonum any day now.
That sucks about Gabe Lynn. Wasn't he really into UM, too? Damn. And weren't we the ones in the North who found out about Jamaal Berry? Crap.
We offered Redd, right? I'm thinking that we shouldn't have because we're going to have so many RBs, but what do I know? Might it also put pressure on "better" recruits like Oku to commit before someone else does?
Ninja,
And you're not even from West Virginia!
Any DEs in the works?
time will unveil your optimism as delusional...
....Likewise.....
They have a woman's football camp every year. The coverage from the Daily has made it seem like the coolest thing ever, and I am dying to go next year, despite the fact that you have to pay a non-trivial amount *AND* raise donations for the Comprehensive Cancer Center in order to attend.
You know I'll be coming here with my begging bowl, so start saving now. I plan to be wearing my Tacopants jersey, so the photos should be SWEET.
superiority isn't unfounded. it's demonstrated on the football field, year in and year out.
...and as for basketball?
Some more random observations:
Wasn't it RR who started recruiting FL from the North this year? Jamaal Berry and 4* S Vlad Emilien have "high" interest in OSU now. What the hell is Tressel telling these kids?
3* Orlando S Mike Jones has "high" interest in UM and ND.
There are like no defensive ends in the US this year.
Please, Darius Winston. And Dr. Dre Kirkpatrick. That would be nice. And a DE.
I realize that following recruiting is like being addicted to drugs. You get a really quick high from a commitment, but the high goes away and you only want more.
ZaqAtaq - where is it and what time is it at? I am still on the Chicago area mailing list so I haven't heard anything about it.
OSU has been in FL for a while. Mo Wells, Brewster and Sabino all come to mind.
I forget who but there are some other guys from FL that they have had in the past. Maybe RR was trying to get in on the party that OSU was already part of. I thought that Jaamal Berry was interested in UM first though.
I'm actually proud to be called arrogant...
It's just means we ARE the shit, and we know it, and everyone else knows it...
...and we know that everyone else knows that we know it.
Bucks have had many from Fla (even way back to Neal Colzie era'70s)& I think Gamble & others were from Fl... What's rumor 'bout Slocum???
Latest OSU rumor is that Heton (#2 QB) lookin' to leave OSU
I used to eat the Monte Cristo. Then one time I was chatting it up with the server who told me there is over 6000 calories in one of those bad boys. I guess it's a good calorie/dollar value.
Can somebody explanin the monte cristo? I can't think of a Web site I'd like to visit less than Bennigan's.

Ah, Sparty, I knew ye would traverse to such nether regions.
Yes, you have a good basketball team and a coach/man I admire very much in Tom Izzo. To be honest with you, I root for MSU to do well in basketball.
Still, that doesn't change the fact that MSU has a mostly (and hilariously so) horrific football program. I mean, the ND meltdown? You can't make that sort of mental weakness up. It was just so startlingly pathetic.
And the fact that you think Dantonio is going to lead into the light is, debatably, even more pathetic. Everything that Izzo stands for: class, accountability, winning - well, seems to stand for the Dantonio opposite. I mean, talking trash to 21 year olds that just embarrassed you is always a sound philosophical decision. Face the facts: Dantonio is just a less effusive version of JLS.

And iirc the Bennigan's version is DEEP FRIED. I shit you not.
The Lloyd Carr DC reception tonight is in the Holeman Lounge of the National Press Club from 6:30 to 8:30. The NPC is at 539 14th St NW, 13th floor. Advance tickets were $15, I told that if there are tix left they will be $20 at the door.

It's like TGI Fridays without all the gay Guy Fieri commercials.
I believe that it is BREADED and then deepfried. Little powder sugar on the top. oh yeah, to top it all off you dip it in rasberry jam. haha.
I've never had the Bennigan's version (actually I've never been in a Bennigans), but the Disneyland Cafe Orleans version features ham, cheese, huckleberry (?) jam and is deep fried. Sooooo good.
Supposedly, Slocum hasn't been to class or workouts this summer.

owning a fuck lion means you've got all sorts of repsonsibilities. you can't just lock it in it's crate every morning.
Is Dantonio that bad a coach? I don't like him. He seems like an ass, but he's also trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator in Lansing.
Okay, just looked up his record at Cincy. 7-5 seasons. But Cincy was coming out of C-USA (right?) and it's not that hot a place. But I don't think that Brian Kelly just did well with team he inherited; I think he turned things around last year, although they collapsed and lost 2 games that they shouldn't have--Louisville and Pitt. I think Kelly will do better than Dantonio did as he is a better coach.
I read that last night, troll. He was wrong about the secondary. The secondary really improved last year. Passing defense was ranked 10th in the country IIRC. Yes, Warren is great, but Morgan Trent also improved last year. These preseason evaluations are tough because RR is better than Lloyd at getting more out of his players, especially at certain positions, but RR's offense will probably need some time to click. The analysis of his offense was interesting though, but the defense should be better than a lot of people expect.
as we all know, the Spartans will do whatever they can to make this game as difficult as possible for themselves. They're like Harry Houdini's younger, dumber brother who fell into a bathtub and drowned while practicing his escape from a straitjacket in his bathroom. (That's not a true story, but doesn't it describe Michigan State pretty well?)
..
Thought you'd like that analogy...
Tim
It actually may have been easier for Dantonio to recruit while at Cincy. Cincinatti has a lot of homegrown talent and perrenial powerhouse schools and not all of those kids go to OSU. Essentially, Dantonio was competing against a bunch of MAC schools for 3 star talent, got a lot of those kids, and still put a fairly miserable team on the field. Kelly has the same exact kids from the same exact high schools and look at how well his team played last year.
Keep in mind, when your schedule features Miami of Ohio, Aron, and your D-IAA opponent of choice, you should win more than 6 games.
He's just not a good coach. Time will prove me correct.
Dantonio is an egotistical knob, but he's the best coach in East Lansing since Saban. Which isn't saying much, but still. He'll get them to bowl games regularly and they can reclaim their role of 2nd tier Big Ten team from the likes of Iowa and Purdue.
an yes, i just spelled the name of the town i have lived in for the last 2 years incorrectly.
http://www.statesboroherald.com/.../article/12788/
This is the Henton reference
the prostitutes are greener in georgia?
Ok, so if you've seen the highlight video on Malek Redd it's understandable why we'd offer the kid. Though at 5'6 he's king of the Smurfs, the kid is insanely fast. Rumor has it he ran back to back 4.27s this week and they had 5 coaches timing the 2nd b/c none of them believed it.
@MRG
agree about Dantonio- you'll see MSU's program turn around with a strong Defense (.....maybe)
AL 2nd base all start voting:
1. Dustin Pedroia, Red Sox, 1,027,788
2. Ian Kinsler, Rangers, 816,793
3. Robinson Cano, Yankees, 649,558
4. Placido Polanco, Tigers, 434,256
5. Brian Roberts, Orioles, 296,260
wtf? I'm sorry, but Pedroia just isn't and won't ever be all star caliber.

BGH:
I think you're wrong about Dantonio. Cincinnati (and you're lucky you caught that b/c I was on the way to busting your balls) is a horrendous place to recruit to, even with the local talent. He built the foundation on which Brian Kelly now stands, and he'll eventually get Lil' Bro on par with Wisconsin as a second tier Big 10 team.
And Waymen, a friend of mine played for Kelly at Central, says the guy treats his players like shit and he's not the kind of coach people want to play for. Think what's his name from Varsity Blues- good coach, lots of success, but the all haye him and when push comes to shove they'll lay down. Unless there's Ali Larter in a whipped cream bikini for every player, a major program would be foolish to hire him.
Ninja, that would be Bud Kilmer. Jon Voight did a masterful job portraying him in VB. And what in the fuck was Mox thinking when he turned down that bitch in the whipped cream bikini? Dumbshit.
Ninja, that's all fine and good, but what is your basis? Dantonio couldn't turn UC into a second tier Big east team. And I disagree with your assesment of recruting in Cincinnati. Their best player, DE Terrill Byrd, is from Colerain. Colerain, itself, has very close ties with UC and is a very good program, probably one of the top ten public school football programs in the country. Another very good player, CB Mickens, is from around here (Dayton area). There is one major football program in Ohio, then UC, then a bunch of MAC schools. If Dantonio can't beat out MAC teams, how is he going to beat out U-M and ND for talent? He's not.
People look at his association with Tressel and give him the benefit of the doubt. But I think it's misplaced and I think he's a very mediocre coach. All those 7, 4,3 point losses last year? All those second half meltdowns? That's not on the players, that's on Dantonio for simply being out coached.
If anyone cares, Rivals posted projected starters:
WR1: Greg Mathews
WR2: Junior Hemingway

@Troll:
What's up dude- you missed out on the Naked Man banner. It was.......interesting.
As for Henton, I can understand- he'll never get a fair shot with Pryor there. Even if he did get a chance from the coaches, the mobs coming after Tress's head if he played Henton over Pryor would be unreal.
For a guy that lusts after DBs, the fact that Warren is wearing the maize and blue and on his way to becoming an elite corner really has to burn Tressel.
That's a logical starters list but I can't see that being accurate coming Sept.
Ninja, you're naive. Bo Schembechler was a total bully and asshole. The HC doesn't need to be Mr. Suggles like Lloyd. 90% of the players hated Bo. The other 10% had their noses up his ass.
They say Molk has a good chance of displacing any of the three interior linemen. And that Feagin will play here and there.
Players hating him or not, Kelly won about 10090 games at GVSU in a row. If his guys were going to "lay down" on him regularly, you would have seen that happen at GVSU. It never did. I don't think Cincy is quite at the level where they can be "expected" to beat teams like Louisville and Pitt quite yet, so I'm going to reserve judgment on whether his abrasive personality costs him success.
Also, Tom Coughlin.
Antonio Bass is going to be like Kadeem Hardison in the Sixth Man.
and I think they forgot about John Thompson. He's going to start. Shafer specifically mentioned him being a key factor in his video interview on MGolue.com
I was a bit surprised Molk wasn't listed at C, so that makes sense.
I don't think Dantonio is going to super awesome or anything, but he's already displayed an ability to recruit reasonably well. Ultimately, I think he'll put those players in a position to succeed more often than Bobby or John L. Sparty can look forward to a glorious run of 8-4 type seasons and perhaps even a victory over U-M.
I just have a hard time accepting any heresay on what coaches are "assholes" and what coaches aren't. If Kelly was such a huge dick that no one wanted to play for him, we'd have seen that, I think. At the end of the day, if a coach shows that he can put a proven winner on the field, High School kids will come play for him.
They didn't forget him. They said he'll back up Ezeh.
@Ninja
Saw the banner, it was hilarious! tried to photoshoppe it with a UofM helmet in a "special spot" and submitt it but couldn't pull it off (limited computer savy).. I watch and comment as appropriate.. this your guy's site ( and pretty funny )
@ BGH-
There is one major football program in Ohio,
You're from Dayton area and forgot the Flyers's Nat Champ season last year?
Meyer and Saban are two of the biggest dicks in the universe (in Saban's case, literally) and they seem to do alright with recruiting.
Troll, UD has its games televised on public access TV.
Enough said?
You can read more about nick Saban in his new back "As Bad As I Wanna Be"
book*
jesus christ, i can't type, or think, today.
@Caup:
I think you're wrong. There are coaches who you think are assholes and work you to the bone and you come to see they do what they do in order to help you grow as a person and as a player. Bo would fit into that. Then there are coaches who are fed by ego, who refuse to give players the time of day, and who are concerned with winning and winning only. You can't call me naive unless you've had experience with both, and from what i've heard Kelly falls in the second category.
My use of a movie to illustrate my point surely didn't help, but it's something that many people would be familiar with.
BGH:
I totally disagree but I have to work- I'll gtet back to you later b/c I think it's a very worthwhile discussion.
DE: Tim Jamison
DE: Brandon Graham
DT: Will Johnson
DT: Terrance Taylo
Sounds awesome. LB's? We'll have to wait and see, but IIRC Panter had a great spring.
Now is when Caup comes back with "YOU KNOW NOTHING BECAUSE MY BROTHER PLAYED FROR BO."
Ninja-
Correct 'bout coaches...another example?.. Bobby Knight a real asshole but still one of best ever coaches...
@BGH
don't be dissin' the Flyers and make me mention another 1AA school ..nuff said?
I think that a good example is Herb Brooks vs. the guy from Varsity Blues.
Lloyd, in the style of Bobby Dodd, just had a different approach. More of a father type. That isn't to say that Bo and Joe Paterno haven't had huge impacts on people's lives (or necks in Woody's case).
Troll, touchy about UD?
Quite touchy
new post up
Did you fgo there or something? And what 1AA school do you want to talk about? Wright State?
Bo would belittle his players mercilessly. He was not just a taskmaster, he was a fuckhead. He played favorites. He treated the walk-ons like dogshit and exploited and unfairly "punished" them to scare the star players and keep them in line. I know this firsthand from many of the players from the 80's. I was roommates off-campus with several players during my 4 years, from stars to 3rd stringers and walk-ons.
Bo was also a hell of a good coach. But let's drop the whole myth about the truly great coaches not being complete bastards. History is littered with great football coaches who were terrible people to their players.
I want Bobby Knight to raise my children.
and chitown, fuck off
UD good school & good football .. retired HC has best winning percent in Ohio
i want my children to look like bobby knight.
So, what's your point, Troll. The city of Dayton sucks and UD is marginal in most ways. Winning % in Ohio is a meaningless stat that proves, well, nothing. There are high school coaches with better winning percentages than Tressel, does that mean they're better coaches?
Jesus BGH you haven't in the past struck me as so myopic....sad...
What? I'm not sure that you're making sense.
UD is whatever, a decent enough school, yadda, yadda, yadda. The city of Dayton sucks, and I'm sure you know that. Its only redeeming value is the Dayton Daily Worker, which is one of the better opapers in Ohio. But I'm trying to figure out how my assesment of UD football = = myopic.
Have you ever been to a Dayton game?
The quality of the football is not B10 stuff but it ain't bad... Guess I'm just not as much of a "purist" as you.... but that is true of most "frontrunner" mentalities....
I'm not a front runner. But you can't compare two very different skill levels and act as if achievement holds the same value Because, it doesn't. Mt. Union has dominated D-III for a long time. Do you hold their achievements in the same light as OSU's? Winning on the highest/higher levels is absolutely distinct from lower-level success.
That's not a "front runner" opinion, that's just a reality.
"And iirc the Bennigan's version is DEEP FRIED. I shit you not."
Sounds like it should be called the Monte Crisco. It's fine for 20-yr olds to eat that crap, but if you're 40 and still eating it you're looking at a large ass, diabetes and an angioplasty before too long.
If the rumors about Slocum are true,
I gotta believe it's because he ain't having any of the new S&C program, and isn't about to have Barwis screaming in his ear. Too bad, since he stuck it out as long as he did, but attrition is inevitable.
Sunny,
The disaster is that even though you may feel that you're paying for B-10 Net. in the summer because of the supposed increase to your regular cable bill, the bottom line is Comcast is always raising your bills anyway! Last year my bill went up even though I was actually losing channels! The sports tier would provide Comcast millions in added revenues, which they would not have through the digital pkg. Don't let them get away with that!
