It might just be a style of constanly being on players with curse words and belittleling language. Ask a few players, I bet you find that this is fact. That said, these guys are semi pro (for all intent and purposes) most of these kids can handle that. But if you ask me, I would bet anything on it that the staff just has a more mean spirited and aggressive attitude towards the players. And that is what I think he means by non family environment.

It was pretty crappy how he left. To be honest though, I would be a bit hesitent to play for scUM this year. RR may be a good coach, but it takes awhile to get a new system in place, especially with they way talent changes at the college level. Not to mention all the off the field issues he dragged up there with him.

Blue… You can’t really talk about tOSU’s “unathletic defense” when they held your entire team to 91 yards in November.

New year, new game. Wait till then, then everyone start talking crap, till then, its kinda useless…

Anyone correct me if I'm wrong, but the team can have "informal" practices with the S&C coordinator who then would report to RR. I am fairly certain that RR and the coaches can't have any direct contact with the players.

Generally, what is done is the players get in shape with the S&C's work-out plan, and it also is a time when the QBs and WRs work on their timing, as far as routes go.

So to summarize, many players stay on campus and workout and work on timing issues, but it is all informal, without RR or the coaches running the practices. (That is why it is important to have leaders that kick the butts of the other players when they decide to slack off.) Last year, it was Hart and Long. This year, someone needs to step it up.)

The same is true with basketball.

Question for anyone: Will the NCAA allow 1-A football and basketball teams to have summer practices? If so under what conditions?

thanks!

Anon 1:47 AM,

Your point of the draft levels and rounds were well taken from the very beginning, however, my point was is and forever will be, that the pro teams will always make a point to identify and sign good lineman regardless of the system that they come from. They will make a point to teach them their prefered techniques. This is what we have been told by a coach who coaches on the pro level.

The players who are the higher risk are taken or signed late and they don't get the same money, we know that is the trade off. Boren may have hurt himself by making this move, I agree, but he'll be signed by somebody, somewhere, sometime.

How is Tressel's record again Lloyd Carr relevant??? He is no longer head coach at UM. As long as we're posing irrelevant data, then
Carr: 5
John Cooper: 1
Wasn't he like 2-10 against UM?

As for Tressel's record against RR, that was at WVU and UM is completely better than WVU.

All I can say is:

Tressel 6, Carr 1
Tressel 2, Rodriguez 0

Tressel's glorious legacy continues. Go Bucks! Michigan SUCKS!
