However, you damn right we're on this guy's jock. First thing he did at Michigan was to convince the athletic department to chuck all the old gym equipment and spend millions refurbishing the weight room. Done.

Well, he certainly deserves credit there, but I think just about any S&C coach with an approach from the 21st century would've done that. What did they do with all the medicine balls, kangaroos with boxing gloves and thigh masters anyway?

And have you read some of the testimonials from people who've been coached by this guy? There's a good reason WVU's draft prospects went to Ann Arbor for their pre-draft conditioning.

Oh lord, look what I've done. I've gone and dragged it on to this board. I think billmac covers the point I would make nicely.

We Michigan fans love us some Mike Barwis. Mike Barwis is the new Ryan Mallett, only without the overthrowing of receivers.

Well, he does have his own "Legend" thread in the OD forum. You guys better pray he doesn't suffer the curse of the "Legend of..." thread like your previous savior did.

Or the last coaching savior, Ron English.

I can't tell you how much I am enjoying the desperation coming from Morgantown north. Couldn't happen to a more arrogant and delusional bunch of pricks.

U-M's Sheridan ready to capitalize on 'long journey'

ANN ARBOR -- It's too early to know for certain, but it's possible a walk-on could be starting at quarterback for Michigan this fall.
...

Wouldn't that be something? I knew pickings were slim, but even with the positive spin they put on this it sounds pretty grim to me.

Did you mean, "wouldn't that be amazing?"

As for why Pryor committed, Jim Tressel would not be the reason. He has publicly stated that the Brew Crew and the chance to become slowly introduced to an offense that can help him get to the NFL as being the main reasons he chose.

Bullshit. Who do you think is the one who runs the system that changes mobile QBs into NFL-ready QB? Tressel may be the head coach, but he is an former QB coach and is directly involved with QB development. Think Troy Smith.

There were a multitude of reasons why he chose tOSU and those were two of them, yes, but the coaching staff was the difference, not just Jim. I can go find some direct quotes from Terrelle, but I gotta get back to work, haha.

The last person I would quote on why TP really came to OSU is TP.

That is not a knock on TP - it is just the nature of teenagers. They don't understand the real reason they do anything.

Heck, I am an old man and I don't know why I do half the stuff I do. (If I did I wouldn't be cleaning rhinoceros poop off the bedroom carpet.)

Reclamation project
Exclusive access as Rodriguez starts over at Michigan

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The view from Rich Rodriguez's office window in Schembechler Hall is a bit unsightly right now. Two football fields' worth of dirt currently sit where Michigan's new indoor practice facility, expanded weight room and expanded locker room will eventually be. Michigan Stadium is under renovation as well.

Over the past three months, an even bigger facelift has taken place inside the halls of the Wolverines' football complex: New head coach, eight new assistants, new strength and conditioning team, new support staff and nearly $1 million worth of new equipment in the weight room. About the only recognizable facet of Michigan football these days is the winged helmets.

"It's weird," joked senior cornerback Morgan Trent. "It's like we all transferred to West Virginia."

Cont'd ...

That seems like an overly optimistic piece. Dominant defense???

Sounds like he's just tickled pink to have access.

Question: did RR keep the in-house barber so that all the potential QBs can have bowl cuts?

Michigan QB = Bowl Cut, does it not?

Unproven safeties, unproven LBs (may not have a true Mike). Aggressive press coverage scheme without the CBs to run it (Trent).

Good defense? Perhaps. Dominant? That's a bit optimistic this early.
