yeah, thats still called experimentation and trying to look different/unique from the other team. What ever the motive is you are still trying to be unique. But these are just one shot deals anyway. Ugly or not, theres not much to worry about..I dont think?...teams like ND arent looking for drastic permanant change..at least not like Maryland..which i like as long as only a few teams do it that extreme.Quote:

Here's to starting your kids off right... (I'm not advocating Kansas or Kansas State, just rather kids who stick up for their own team).

As Arkansas State fans, we have the same complaints. There's a thread on our message board about local teachers that decorate their classrooms with Razorbacks and don't consider anything Red Wolves. The sad part is, most often these teachers have no relationship with the Razorbacks except that they bought a t-shirt from Walmart that says "I like swine."

you say why, LSU isnt presently guilty of anything? If UNC is doing it, you know damn well its happening at LSU. They practically recruit from police blotters
What a wonderfully optimistic view of cheating, ram. :D

In an exclusive interview with a former Michigan player, who came to Michigan as a freshman in 2005, for a story coming later this fall on the transition from Lloyd Carr to Rich Rodriguez, I was told some very disturbing information regarding the 2007 Michigan football team.
In a shocking revelation, this former player told me that over half of Michigan’s defensive starters and several key offensive starters partied deep into the night the night before the 2007 Michigan vs. Appalachian State game, then smoked marijuana hours before kickoff in an effort to “see how bad we can beat ‘em up if we are stoned.” The player said that the Michigan secondary and linebackers were the main participants of this group, but the ring leader was an explosive offensive playmaker, who would later be suspended during his Michigan career for failing a drug test.
According to this source, the 2007 spring and summer was one big party for the Michigan football team, with very little participation in voluntary off-season workouts, a big change from the prior season when nearly the entire team worked out together and stayed away from the summer party scene. “There was a perception that we were going to be so good in ’07 that everyone kind of thought the entire season was going to be a breeze, we would go undefeated for sure” said the former player. “There were two different teams that off-season it seems. A lot of the Ohio (high school) guys and guys from west coast stuck together, and were really into the party scene, the Michigan (high school) players and seniors were the other group. The really odd thing is that I don’t think Chad (Henne) saw any of the receivers from the time spring ball ended until the first day of fall camp. We were just a bunch of guys with our own agendas and no sense of team. Once (LaMarr) Woodley and (David) Harris left after ’06, all leadership was gone on the team.
“Mike Hart tried to be a leader, but a lot of guys disliked him and resented him behind his back. Chad (Henne) or Jake (Long) really should have stepped up when they saw what was going on, but never did. Its funny that those guys all came back for their senior seasons to win a National Title, but no one ever did anything to make sure that would happen. It all came crashing down on Sept. 1, App State day.”
The entire week leading up to the Appalachian State game was a party, it seems: “Everyone went out Thursday night prior to the game. Like, everyone. I remember some girl asking a few of the players if they were worried about the game Saturday and maybe they shouldn’t be getting so messed up, all the players around her just started laughing hysterically. It was like all my teammates thought we were playing a junior high school team on Saturday.
“The night before the game, everyone was smoking pot and having fun at the team hotel, no coaches were bothering us. The next day, (game day), one offensive player in particular was the ring leader and was messing around trying to convince all the other guys that we could beat these guys stoned and how crazy it would be to be all messed up and still ‘drop 50 on these fools’. For some reason, there was a ton of people who joined in. From what I saw and was told afterwards, 6 defensive starters and 3 offensive starters smoked up that morning. One guy in particular who I know did is the one who made the biggest error of the game and cost us a chance to win. I wonder why”
When facing Appalachian State, Michigan players nor coaches took them too seriously. “The coaches barely even game planned for App State regardless. We didn’t prepare any differently nor see any tape of their offense during game week. We were working on normal prep and facing our offense. Armani Edwards was having a field day on us because we didn’t even know he was a fast dual-threat guy. The whole week is an embarrassment. Starting that day, I never enjoyed playing football at Michigan again. That was the day that Michigan football died. Hopefully Hoke fully revives it. I know he is almost there, and that is awesome to see.”
The week following Appalachian State, Michigan was destroyed by Oregon 39-7, giving up 32 straight point after briefly leading 7-3.
It pains me to write this article. The source of the story will be revealed in a November piece called “The Transition: Carr to Rich”. For the record, the player refused to name individual players.
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Yes, I laugh at the misery of others (well, just Michigan). Schadenfreude.
From the comments on that story:
Yeah ....... you really don't understand what the death penalty is about.Quote:
If you cared about theMichigan program AT ALL you would stay away from this story. Are you trying to kill us or what you moron. Rumors like this can cause a death penalty

Um, details of the transition from Carr to RichRod has been discussed and covered by multiple sources and I'm a member of a small UM forum with guys who truly have inside access to practices (and where a lot of the big recruiting sites have stolen info from them over the years) from Carr to RichRod and still into Hoke's era. Hell, Bacon wrote a fucking day-to-day account of RichRod's time in Ann Arbor that was published last fall.Quote:
Williams writes that the interview was for a piece that will be published in November detailing the Michigan coaching transition from Lloyd Carr to Rich Rodriguez, at which time he will reveal his insider source.
The accusations are damning, but take this alleged story with a grain of salt. We have never heard of ChatSports until reading this story. And at first glance the interview with the supposed former player reads like something too juicy to be true.
What does Ace think he has "new" to write about that transition?
Now, while I don't doubt some pieces of that story, i.e. it was well-known fact that Carr ever since about 2000 truly considered the offseason voluntary workouts to be voluntary and was more and more jaded about the time that football players had to put into football and were no longer student-athletes and that his recruiting was suffering, I question some other details there.
Although weed would help explain why Crable made boneheaded mistakes out of the blue now and then. ;)
The explosive playmaker line doesn't make sense either since Mario was busted earlier for weed in his career and left UM after 2007 season for the NFL. ;) But the article says a player busted after 2007, and I can assure you that UM didn't have any explosive playmakers after 2007 season.
Anyone taking bets on it being Trent Morgan who hated RichRod and thus would fit, "Starting that day, I never enjoyed playing football at Michigan again"?
Fun article, found it on Smart Football:

I don't really have much faith that EA could replicate packaged plays anytime soon.......
:)
Agreed. I don't remember what article ChatSports wrote earlier in the year, but it was similarly outlandish and Ohio State fans threw them under the bus for it.Quote:

Also, John Bacon is awesome. If it wasn't about Michigan, I'd definitely consider reading his book :D
