Most of those people were Auburn and UT fans. I wonder where they are this year?

Uh, maybe you ought to ask the one team in the Big [sic] Ten [sic] who effectively came from the Big East and still plays them a lot OOC whether there’s any comparison in terms of defense.

It’s been a LOOOOONG time since the Big East had credible defenses beyond a couple flash-in-the-pan seasons like recent Rutgers.

@ 37… 2 scores from the 2006 season:

Oct 28th USC 31 Oregon St 33
Dec 2nd USC 9 UCLA 13

Now YOU kindly STFU

Your UM arrogance is showing. Recruits aren’t beating down the doors to play at Michigan anymore. Tressel sealed the border and only lets out the ones he doesn’t want. Besides, RR isn’t recruiting the classic Big Ten player that can hold up an entiree season. If you notice, Pat Whites don’t show up that often. Even he got hurt at WfV at inopportune times. Even Urban knew he had to keep Tebow healthy and not run him as much. Florida was beaten in games that Tebow was less than 100% last year.

One thing about getting to the championship games. Those were only two losses, that followed a lot of winning, with more winning that followed. Sustained excellance that has an occasional loss. Something 117 programs every year wish they could emulate. Your season is losing, followed by a lot more losing. Keep jangling your keys, and enjoy watching the fall into the abyss.

As for recruits not coming, we’re still Michigan. We can fill a class of 25 with enough talent to keep us afloat. I think my rude awakening is a long time coming- at least I hope so, this year has been hell. It must be like those last two MNC games rolled all into twelve weeks instead of two years. either way- it’ll be interesting, and I’ll be around. I love the program and CFB- not only the winning.

And to the guys asking about the tattoo, the kid was a patient at the U of M Children’s Medical Center- see bracelet on the other hand for confirmation.

to whit ,”Urban Meyer and his offense just wont be able to handle sssss eeeeeee cccccccc speed….”

this is a ridiculous argument, as ridiculous as the argument was when Meyer went to Florida. this is year one in the rickrod experiment, its just a touch to early to call it a failure

If you want to re-examine, why don’t you just split that Crystal football with Southern Cal. Now, I’m sure you don’t want to denigrate your title now do you? OK then, STFU.

Ninja –

Your rude awakening awaits you. Recruits committing to UM have been doing so withtheir fingers crossed. If I were you, I would wait until signing day. When all of Rich’s runts get hurt, since this is Big Ten not Big East football, and you have few if any backups, enjoy your mediocrity. He is a fish out of water.

Not to say that those teams have not ever been good at the same time.

RichRod hasn’t been recruiting “typical Michigan recruiting grounds”. As I recall, we’ve already landed one of the top receivers in Florida for 2010, and are the favorite for the #1 or #2 safety in the entire nation that year as well. Perhaps you’ve heard of him, Marvin Robinson? Also from……..Florida.

The people who argue against RR and the possibility of him being a success at Michigan, what is your LOGIC? There isn’t any. It’s wishful thinking that a move of several hundred miles NW has made him forget how to coach. But I understand your hopes. The alternative is too scary for you to comprehend.

For people saying we can’t get the right athletes from Michigan/Ohio/old school pipeline states, check out the Florida athletes we’re currently plundering.
