They're salivating. They think he's gonna come in and run the pistol he briefly ran with Kaep. Nevermind that neither Peters, McCaffrey or Patterson are near the athletes Kaep was, and it was his running ability that made that offense effective. Also, it was a novelty in the NFL, whereas variants of it are fairly common in CFB. They're also chosing to ignore that every fanbase that has been cursed with him as their OC has loathed his pudgy ass. But, DFBIA gonna DFBIA.

They got excited about Ron English coming in to fix the defense once too

DFBIA is going to DFBIA

Is Patterson even going to be eligible right away? Everything that I’ve read suggests he won’t be. Only players that would be going into their senior seasons would be eligible immediately after transfer. Yet everyone seems to think he’s going to be their savior next year.

The thought is that Patterson's situation is unique because of Ole Miss' sanctions. I wouldn't be surprised to see them approve him.

They still hold the north American record for 6th years granted by the NCAA iirc

I fully expect to see Patterson running for his life behind their OL next year

I forget the exact circumstances, but I believe a fake back injury about 3/4ths of the way through the year is what gave Devin Gardner his 6th year of eligibility.

This is a pretty hilarious "WE ARE LOSERS NOW BUT WE HAVE HISTORY!!!" Post

Our Rivals have recent success; Michigan has success and a proud history.

Let's not forget that Ohio State has a proud history as well.

Ohio State won its first AP national championship in 1942, a full six years before Michigan won its first in 1948. And we have five total AP titles (1942, 1954, 1968, 2002, 2014) to their two (1948, 1997).

And Ohio State won its first coaches poll national championship in 1957, which was ... now let me see ... how many years ... Oh, that's right - Michigan has never won a coaches poll national championship in the 68 years that the title has been awarded. We've got four (1957, 1968, 2002, 2014).

The third most prestigious national championship is the FWAA title, voted on by football writers. We again have five (1957, 1961, 1968, 2002, 2014) and they have just one (1997).

What DFBIA means by "proud history" is "ancient history", like pre-poll national championships, awarded by historians who never saw the teams nor watched the games and may or may not even know anything about the sport, from the era when Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, and mighty Lafayette were major football powers.

There is literally no one in America who was alive for Michigan's first two national championships (1901, 1902), and only two people who were alive for their next two (1903, 1904). Of the 326,985,474 people living in America today, just two of them were alive for any part of Michigan's Golden Era.

And 2018 is an historic year for the Wolverines - it marks the 100th anniversary of their 5th national title (1918); the 95th anniversary of their 6th (1923); and the 85th anniversary of their 7th (1933), their last title before they had to prove themselves in front of voters who actually watched the games and followed the teams. Those halftime celebrations should be fun - maybe they can summon up the ghosts of some of those team's members, complete with their leather helmets and wool jerseys and canvas pants.

And finally let's talk "winningest program in college football" for a minute. At least 100 of those wins (count 'em) came against D-3 programs, high schools, athletic clubs, military bases, and a group of "physicians & surgeons" (not kidding - look it up). But with all those wins against Albion, Beloit, Case, DePauw, Kalamazoo, Mount Union, Oberlin, Olivet, and Wittenberg ... those clowns up north have still never beaten Toledo!

So let Michigan Man fap away to their ancient history and distant success, as their team continues to bite the bone in the real world.

My original avatar, first on Bucknuts, and then here, was an Eddie George pic that I copied from from that same Vanilla Gorilla tripod page. I didn't know [Mark May] from shinola at that time, so for at least the first year that avatar was still hosted on his site.

Man, I haven't been on Bucknuts in at least a decade. I can't remember who it was, but I will remember that signature until the day I die: "2002 Drive to the Desert. 34 years of pain and frustration ends Jan 3, 2003." So prescient. And then i was there, in section 24, row 45, seat 5. All of the action took place at the other end of the field, but the second overtime was right in front of me. Since we were in the tiny green section, we had to deal with extremely obnoxious Cryami fans at the beginning. After the first punt, one of them said something about Andy Groom being a good kicker and that their kicker sucked. My dad said, "he's a fucking All American!" which was the first and only time in my life that I've heard him drop the F bomb. Afterwards, two sweet grannies gave my brother and I big hugs and sloppy kisses on our cheeks, and told us, "I think we won because of you!" I don't remember the exact time, but there was a timeout late when he and i started chanting "Let's go Bucks!" that spread to the entire stadium by the time the coverage came back. It's on the DVD.

Holy [Mark May], the nostalgia. I was THERE. Biggest Buckeye game and win of my entire life, and I WAS THERE. Nothing will ever top that.

I think I'm gonna cry.

Edit: singing Carmen Ohio in the middle of Arizona with 70,000 of your closest friends after defeating one of the greatest teams of all time is the most powerful thing I've ever witnessed. And now I'm definitely crying.

How awesome...the ties that bind us.

Sharing the NC in Dallas with my son a few years ago - same kind of story with huge crowds of strangers all hugging us and everyone else. Unforgettable.

while I enjoyed this historical reminder of the pecking order of various polls, to be fair, you did leave out all of their BCS/CFP era championships

oh wait

There is chatter on scum forums that Drevno and Pep could be heading to the NFL, and Harbrau plans to replace them with...wait for it...Greg Roman. :slappy:

Ol' Simple Jim sure does like to stay familiar. For those unfamiliar, Greg Roman is Harbrau's former OC with the Niners who tried to make Kaepernick a pocket QB and saw his offenses get worse each season until they were a goddamned sludgefart by 2014. He then spent 18 games as the Bills OC before getting his ass canned there. He spent this year as "Senior Offensive Assistant" with the Ravens and their 27th-ranked offense. As a Niners fan, I wholeheartedly endorse this move if true.

Sooo,
Does that make Greg Roman an…
…Inferior Beckerator?

I'll show myself out.
