I stopped reading when I saw Tua Tagliavia just outside the Top 10. Credit him for coming off the bench and playing well in the championship game, but he was the backup all season. Nobody really knows how he will play out and if he'll even be the starter.



Just heard on the radio this morning he is the Vegas favorite to win the Heisman. They were talking about how that was insane.

While I think people should be more cautious on Tua, I think he will be special given the talent around him. I watched an episode of Training Days: Rolling with the Tide, and the kid looks great. Smooth, fast, accurate, and really really smart and well spoken.

It's weird, the monkey is trying to be funny but I didn't even snicker.

It's too dumb to enjoy. There's a way to be edgy and still be tolerable, he didn't go that way.

You see scUM fans, this is what goes around...and what's that? What's that over there?...

Michigan Compliance... is that like the Walmart security guard that lets you shoplift as much as you want as long is it's tucked under your titty?

EDIT: FUCK MICHIGAN

EDIT2: I actually met a few girls at the bar the other night and they were Alabama and Miami fans; respectively. We were able to laugh and have great discourse over why we may have some ribbing amongst each other from time to time. When I proudly dropped the obligatory, "fuck Michigan" there were no retorts. The Miami sister just said, "here that."

Moral of the story: Fuck Michigan.

Shea Patterson has been named as Skunkbear's starting QB.

Grant Newsome, OL, has retired due inability to recover from a severe injury, dislocating his knee, fracturing his tibia, tearing three of the ligaments in his knee, suffering severe damage to three different nerves, and destroying his popliteal artery. Emergency surgery saved his leg and possibly his life.

Deron Irving-Bey, DL, has transferred to Central Michigan. Tyrone Wheatley, Jr. will play for FCS Stony Brook.

F*** Michigan!

Ex-Illinois QB, Jeff George, Jr. is transferring from Michigan, where he chose to walkon, to Pittsburgh. He graduated from Illinois so he will be a grad transfer at Pitt. At Michigan, George was enrolled in the School of Social Work, working on a master’s degree in management of human services. His transfer to Michigan was June 19 and his transfer to Pitt has been announced August 26. He could have taken summer courses at Michigan before moving on to pursue his masters degree in HR at Pitt. If he enrolled but took no classes at Michigan and has accepted a scholarship with Pitt, he'd be a grad transfer from Illinois? Would his summer football work at Michigan, assuming no summer classes, be effectively have been a tryout?

Is it Pitt or WVU?

I don’t think it’s a new injury. All the Michigan reports were that he did almost nothing today.

Supposedly he played with separated shoulder last year. He had been practicing full on until the other day. Nobody knows if it's new, or the same.

It is impossible to respect this program. That is their “leader” Chase Winovich who said he “couldn’t understand how they lost” last night.

Well, Chase, maybe if you spent less time flopping and cheap shotting you could figure out 24 is a larger number than 17.

Looks like he should transfer into Alize's "Man the Hell Up" class. That's pathetic.

Cheers and Go Irish!!

Michigan has two No. 15s and I'm pretty sure that's Jacob West because he doesn't have Winovich's hair, which is also what the tweet says.

That may have been the best block *Mack made all night, right there.

Hey-YOoooooo!

I wondered the same thing based on the name used in the tweet, but pretty sure that LAX is correct in it being Winovich:

-The other guy/West is listed as a WR (IIRC)
-This was a running play, as Tony Jones Jr is the ball carrier and Sam Mustipher is shown on the field at the end of the clip.
-Doubt they would have a walk-on WR defending a running play
