Soup, appreciate this article and the way you respect the other sports at our alma mater. Football is number 1 in all our hearts, but we have pride in all our sports and appreciate all the hard-working student athletes at the U.

"Duck" Legget. I feel bad for him now.

Who cares. That's their job to be blowhards for hours a day. The commentators on radio who are not low IQ wack jobs are few and far between. Although it serves a purpose in lighting a fire under golden, which I'm not against. A little negative pressure is sometimes a good thing. But that's about it.

"James for Dwight Howard makes a lot of sense." Oh, lord, I can't stop laughing!

How many times has Blake James had to give the vote of confidence speech? Lol, at this point the speech is just copy & past switch the date document. Posted by: SinisterCane | September 04, 2014 at 11:48 AM If you could provide a link to similar Blake quotes from the past, I'd appreciate it. Because I can't find any that are even close to the one from today.

Back to football. We have to wait 11 more games. The future is never predetermined, so saying "They're done. Dead man walking. Finished. Lame duck. Kaputz. we will never win more then 9-10 games/yr with this crew." Don't confuse what you see as a probability with absolute certainty. It just doesn't work that way. It has to play out. Insisting others accept a worse case scenario, or an unproven future hypothetical, doesn't make sense to me.

Posted by: Sarasota 'cane | September 04, 2014 at 11:15 AM Disagree. I had my say, until you brought it back up. As far as I'm concerned, I'd leave well enough alone and leave it to football

That's right UMike. But why let that fact get in the way.

Nobody says the highlight of expectation is to beat those two punching bags. Nobody. Nobody is happy and cheering crap results and accepting mediocrity. You're confusing finding a positive, a silver lining, with accepting mediocrity. Some people choose to look at a situation and see the negatives AND the positives, not just the negatives.

Again with the low hanging fruit. I'm not even sure what you're saying.

Great statement by the AD. Good timing. He said what needed to be said, while at the same time saying that improvement is expected. Struck the perfect balance.

Nobody's bragging about winning the next two games.

That's not me, UMike. If I disagree with someone it will be about your comment or directly refer to whatever you posted. I don't delve into personal attacks, especially such low and pathetic comments like that. "Lurker" number 2, you on the other hand, I will personally attack. Sorry if mommy was mean to you and you were bullied in grade school because of your overt femininity, it still doesn't excuse such cowardly and low class comments. You're a bltch made punk hiding behind a keyboard.

Damn, I sound like Lurker. Posted by: CaneRock | May 07, 2014 at 12:07 PM ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I'm not sure what the point of that is.

Yes I think I remember reading something about Hinds a while back. Such a shame, he definitely has talent, but probably not a lot of self control

Where is EJ now?

Hassan, even if he's doing 80% of what Chad is doing, that's still elite in my book.

Hassan, if he was neck and neck with Chad Thomas then that's great news. As far as Patchan red shirting, that would be the best situation if we can do it. There's a few guys that could have benefitted from a RS year, but we've been having yo throw them out there.

Catching dolphin is fun and tasty

Settle down. It's a matter of opinion. You pasted my post. Where is the personal attack? Show me.

No apologies from me for a one sentence post. I didn't attack him at all. I just questioned something that seemed out of the ordinary, I never said anything about him personally. I consider coaching kids extremely important, and it should be done by people that are mentally well balanced and not so sensitive that they fly off the handle into irrational rages. I think Ohio coaches, doesn't he? From his posts he sounds like someone I would want coaching my kids.

Good for you VA. All those words at me for my one sentence post from the last blog. smh

4-real, when you post I hear the sound of a reptile sloshing through the muck.

4-real, you're not a deep thinker, are you?

Wrong 4-real. Unless UM has complete trust in the filmmakers, it's a big no-go. There's just too much downside with non UM people having that much access. Every little thing would become a secondary violation. That kind of scrutiny after what we've been through is asking for trouble.
