    Damn. Sucks for the team, but sucks even more for him. He was on his way to being a day two pick. RBs coming off a knee injury plummet. He may consider returning to Michigan for his senior year if he thinks he can replicate his numbers from this year and put himself back up the draft board.

    Both VA and MI require a CCW permit holder to be 21. He’s only 21 and 5 months old.

    Not included off mic: "... now how bout them Boilermakers!?"

    I think if there was actually a coverup, it would have been extended another six weeks. As impatient as I was at times with the tunnel incident (not to go back on my earlier criticism of the comparison), most police departments take quite a bit of time to investigate (especially when there is not an initial arrest), and most prosecutors offices take quite a bit of time to file charges. I have seen cases sit in a prosecutors office for 8 or more months before someone sees it sitting on a desk, reads the case, and files charges. It’s not right but it’s the state of the criminal justice system. Two months is really not that bad for a typical investigation.

    I’d like to see the police report, or at least gain more details of what happened, before there is a rush to judgment. Comparing this to the tunnel incident is apples and oranges, at least right now. There were immediately cameras galore for that posted wall to wall nationally. All we have right now for this is a charge. Charges are contestable in court. I want to know what happened.

    Hope Jim can get a nice reunion with USC.

    I think if Poles called Holmes with that offer, Holmes should offer him Jarrad Davis in exchange for never calling us again.

    This is really well done.... if you're a Michigan fan.

    If he will stay here as the 3rd down and goal line back (at that price point), I'm all for re-signing him. I just think there will be a team out there that sees him as their RB1 next year, and be willing to pay him as such.

    I can definitely recall a general consensus here that Michigan was deserving of the #1 seed, but that the CFPC wouldn't want an immediate rematch. It may have been through maize colored goggles though. Obviously in hindsight Michigan was not the #1 team in the nation.

    I think if they can justify it, they will. I think such a situation might force their hand. We saw this in a way last year, where they had Alabama jump Michigan from 3 to 1 after the SEC Championship, to avoid an immediate Georgia/Alabama rematch. Was that really the right thing to do, with Michigan having just thumped Ohio State and Iowa? Probably not, but it was justifiable, so they ran with it. I’m not sure how they could justify TCU not dropping after a loss, or Michigan jumping Georgia after wins by both.
  13. MichiganCardinal
    If USC and TCU lose while Michigan and Georgia win, does Ohio State slide back to #3 for an instant rematch? Or does the Committee avoid it by keeping TCU at #3 despite their loss?

    A 12-team playoff as of today... Byes: (1) Georgia*, (2) Michigan*, (3) TCU*, (4) USC* (5) Ohio State v. (12) Tulane* at Ohio Stadium (6) Alabama v. (11) Utah at Bryant-Denny (7) Tennessee v. (10) Kansas State at Neyland (8) Penn State v. (9) Clemson* in Happy Valley This definitely opens the door for more interesting conference championships, where Kansas State and Utah would be playing for a spot in the playoff instead of just an NY6 Bowl... A bye with a win and a wildcard with a close loss? It will be interesting to see what the Committee does with a Kansas State or Utah who at #10 or #11 loses their conference championship... Do you drop them for winning their division/coming in 2nd and having to play another game? That would open the door to schools like 10-2 Washington and 9-3 Florida State, who weren't invited to their conference championship. Not that I think it would have happened, but damn would it have been sweet to see Tulane come into Columbus and hand them back-to-back home losses??
  15. MichiganCardinal
    I think USC is out with any loss to Utah. Not because it's fair, but because the CFPC sees the Big Ten as far superior to the PAC-12, regardless of how true that is or is not this season. As congested 4-seed is, I am glad this is not the days of simply 1v2 for the National Champion, because inevitably TCU would have gone 14-0 and disputed their chances against Michigan/Georgia for all of eternity.
  16. MichiganCardinal
    The rankings came out as anticipated. 1) Georgia 2) Michigan 3) TCU 4) USC 5) Ohio State

    This is what Holmes will have to grapple with. You don't want to cut him loose (via trade or otherwise) if there is a chance that his performances against Philadelphia and Washington could possibly be extended across a full season. At the same time, you've got a guy who is "pissed off" about his usage, but is clearly either still injured or afraid of re-injury. He's not a Holmes pick and I just feel like there isn't going to be a lot of sympathy if the opportunity presents itself for improvement.

    I have a feeling Jamaal will command more than he is probably worth on the open market. He's having a career year, which is awesome, and he's a stand-up locker room guy, which does mean something. He'll also turn 28 years old next year, and I think he was brought in as a 3rd down/goal line back and has made a name for himself behind this offensive line and Swift's injuries. I don't think he's an ideal every-down back, or even an ideal RB1. There may be a team that pays him to be one though. That said, if we draft a RB high, I think it will be to ultimately (if not immediately) replace Swift, not Williams.
  19. MichiganCardinal
    I'd be okay with that. I just really, really don't want to see Alex Anzalone as a week one starter for the Detroit Lions ever again. I don't care how that happens. I would also envision Anderson and Hutch as being interchangeable forces on either side of the line. It's great that Hutch has gotten a couple picks this year, but realistically, I think he's at his best in the backfield, not in coverage. Play them both standing up with three down lineman and an ILB, play one down and one up, however you do it, I think they'd be collective game-wreckers, because you simply can't double them both.

    How much does age matter if he ends up being really good? His physical growth is probably limited, but he's 6'4"/220, I wouldn't be worried about endurance. He'll still be on a rookie contract for the same length as everyone else drafted in his class. if he sticks in the league, he may retire before the others, but I'm not really thinking about 10-15 years from now I'm thinking 2-5. To be clear, I'm not married to the idea of drafting Hooker either, and depending on how the board falls I may well be right on board with taking a right guard. I just wouldn't count him out for his age either.

    It's so early to play this game but I can't help but play it. My ideal as of today would be 1A - Will Anderson Jr. (EDGE, Alabama) 1B - Joey Porter Jr. (CB, Penn State) 2A - Jahmyr Gibbs (RB, Alabama) 2B - Noah Sewell (ILB, Oregon) 3 - Hendon Hooker (QB, Tennessee) I'm definitely willing to be woo'd by any of the earlier QBs in the pre-draft process, but as of now they all seem like they would be very high risk for where they would need to be taken. Hooker may well be a bust, but that's a lot easier to stomach in the 3rd round (if he is there).

    As an ardent supporter of the USMNT for the past five days, I'm really proud of this club.

    I don't watch a lot of soccer, but isn't nine minutes of stoppage time like a massive amount?
  24. MichiganCardinal
    GOALLLLLLLLLLLLL
  25. MichiganCardinal
    I know Jacksonville's fan base is lacking in volume, but I wonder what their thoughts on Lawrence are. Most QBs don't get to go 7-21+ to start their career and still have a very lengthy rope entering their 3rd year. I know he was touted as a "generational prospect", but his stats haven't been all that, even if you consider the Urban year a wash.
