You kids stay off my lawn!
I don't know. I do know that a certain QB who played for a HS where I taught and coached was less than thrilled with life under Kelly.
And here's the thing that concerns me with Michigan so far down and Notre Dame cruising until they meet Stanford and FSU - Kelly is starting to pull in the prime recruits from Cincinnati high schools.

Sometimes lucid, mostly confused
"This is Michigan. This is not a place where these kinds of mistakes should be happening."
Why? Is Michigan not staffed with human beings - whose primary characteristic, classically, is to err?
That statement reflects perfectly what I think scUM's problem really is: generational arrogance that has compounded for a century. They really think that a person walks onto the campus in AA as a student or employee, and is immediately made into some higher class of humanity, not subject to the human weaknesses, foibles, and fubars of people who study or work at schools in, say, E Lansing or Columbus. They are "Michigan Men". Certainly there is a place for school pride, but whatever the line is where it turns into despicable arrogance, they seemed to have crossed it a good while ago.
What I am about to say is not entirely rational, contains psychobabble, and is said with a degree of tongue in cheek - and yet, strangely, I have this sense that there is some truth to it. It seems to me that scUM was the scUM I've known for 50 years until Mike Hart made his "little brother" comment, which prompted Mark Dantonio to respond with "Pride goes before the fall." What if Mike Hart's comment was the straw that caused the deity to say, "That's it. Time for some humility." and actualized Dantonio's statement (which puts Dantonio into the category of a prophet - which disturbs me)? We have seen what has happened since. Their beloved football program is a dumpster fire. They can't fill their stadium. They broke NCAA rules. The They have made bad coaching hires. Had embarrassing blunders with ticket sales and promotions. The recent misteps with the Morris injury. More important to me is the arrogant and self-righteous way they slandered a good man who made a few errors in judgment - a man named Jim Tressel. I would submit that if this level of arrogance is not worthy of divine action to return these arrogant asses to a state of humility, what is?

I figured their repugnant color scheme was enough."This is Michigan. This is not a place where these kinds of mistakes should be happening."

Ole Fred Flintstone was still winning games and recruiting well back then. Same reason Dantonio/narduzi weren't blasted for putting gholston back in when he was knocked out for a minute a few years back. All the moral outrage is just cover for the real reason they want Hoke/Brandon gone. Their football team isn't winning enough games.

Judging by the current climate on their boards, they've moved on from current savior Shane Morris and are now annointing '15 commit Alex Malzone the new "chosen one."

It's going to be fucking orgasmic watching them whip themselves into a Harbaugh frenzy again only to end up with Cam Cameron.

Football is 100% physical, 100% mental.
Real PT Barnum stuff...

The Lord's judgment has been thus:
In the first plague, the Lord's messenger known as JT turned the water of the River Huron into blood.
In the second plague, the land was beset by frogs riding exercise bikes.
In the third plague, the Lord said to his messenger, Bill (GBYYMSOB), "Stretch out thy Rod, and smite the dust of the land".
In the fourth plague, the Michiganites were tormented by a swarm of undersized, 3* slot receivers.
In the fifth plague, the unholy were afflicted with a diseased heifer.
In the sixth plague, bleeding ulcers appeared on the foreheads of the unrighteous.
Four plagues remain, the next being Storm of Fir[ings].
