This is from mgoblog, which is just a blog I know, but has a pretty big following among the UM fans, and usually has a pretty good gauge on the pulse of the fanbase
quote:

Protests about this will fall on deaf ears. LSU just got hit with much more important NCAA violations than Michigan did. Miles cut a kid who had been on campus for months, offering a "greyshirt" he had never discussed with him. And he 1) cut a quarterback with a form letter, 2) refused to speak to that quarterback about the form letter, and 3) baldly lied about the kid at SEC media days. He's a media firestorm waiting to happen and he might bring Gary Crowton and he might make my head explode by letting the clock run out in the fourth quarter and he's reaching the age when coaches decline precipitously. Hoke is vastly preferable.

Apparently that arse has never heard of $abun cutting players. Miles is just trying to stay on par.


Thanks ESPN outside the lines (BTW how the frick did they leave $abun out of that story)

Brian has been having problems with his blog server I guess(from reading over there).

Would be cool if all the rant-tards didnt mega bomb the place(Like I am constantly).


This is read....I want the info first


Brain runs a very objective blog about Michigan. It is a great read BTW.

For what? Calling a spade a spade?


Miles has a faction that he isnt popular with at Michigan. I wish it wasnt so. Also, that over-signing chit that goes on in the SEC is a no-go with us.

Until our AD fricked up the Miles hire last time around, we had a 40 yr non-losing season streak, and like 25 yrs straight of bowl games.

Talk all the chit ya want. No team in the SEC has been that good that long. We arent talking 7-6 seasons either.

The most important streak we lost was the "Our FB team never served a day of probation".

Is there a SEC team that could match that?

Didnt think so, so dont be tampering with my posts. Michigan can hold their heads high. We won for yrs, and we won the right way.

Yes, your head will explode. I don't know how I am still alive.

I love miles and hope he stays, but some of the shite he does will drive you bat shite crazy.

He also has the want for big downhill runners. He is the anti Rodriquez. And he is a class act, more so then any coach in the sec (contrary to what you might have read/heard).

Miles fan-boi here thank ye very much.

Was when I came here back in 07 during last search.

I think the over-signing is a sign of the SEC...not indicitive of Miles character.

I would of taken JH first due to age. For overall love of Michigan though, Miles is a class act. Sure never saw him go out in public to diss us.

Quit living in the past. Who gives a shite about 40 years ago, you just lost by 38 to freaking Mississippi State. Last time I checked LSU fans were bitching about only beating the same team by 22.

I worked together with Brian Cook for about a year at The Sporting News. The dude is far from ignorant.

And the run-on sentence was done purposely with each "and" written in italics to comically illustrate an all-in-one-breath multitude of issues he has with a Miles hire.

He's not a fan of Miles, obviously. But he's not alone there in Michigan, although I wish Brian's dissent was the majority view and much louder. I don't want Miles to go, just Crowton.

Nobody is living in the past pus-nugget.

The 40 yrs STRAIGHT....did ya see that one...straight....come to an end with the hiring of RR.

This isnt a "back in 1922 on the way to the dinosaur derby".

You know in the 90s while LSU was sucking? We were kicking arse and taking names. We did so in the 70s, 80s, and most of this past decade as well.

That is pretty damn recent if ya ask me. By your intepretation, South Carolina and Southern Miss should now be regarded as the epitome of a "National Power".

frick you. Period. A 40 yr run ending 3 yrs ago is pretty damn recent. Unless your first ball just dropped 3 yrs ago I suppose.
