Re: The Departed
Thanks for doing this. I wish Ashworth well. Hard to blame him taking that much money to play for a team in a great conference that can make deep tourney runs that fits his style of play. I would have been happy if he stayed but understand his decision. After seeing who Sprinkle brought in and his s...

Re: Developmental program?
I have always understood that to mean that programs like ours don't always get the blue-chip, ready-for-action recruits that bigger, richer programs get. So we bring in solid recruits and develop them physically and mentally to compete in D1 football. I think this is exactly right. We aren't going ...

Another thing. How hard is it to just change who gives the hand signals when you play Michigan from when you played other teams.

Coop is who he is. Good athlete with a very limited arm. The inability to stretch the field at all is what will hold us back offensively so long as he is the QB.
