Juice rules!

Laugh now, cringe now, you idiots. Mallett will be special.
I can't believe people who have hung in there with thirteen years of almost uninterrupted mediocrity, predictability, stubbornness, upset after upset, and getting your asses reamed by Ohio State (or having to beat them to salvage some pride) under Lloyd Fucking Carr are going to give up on Ryan Mallett.

If I wasn;t a Michigan fan, I'd hate Michigan fans more than bukdow and HipDigIt do X 100.

I really have no opinion on Mallett right now.

What in the hell? Illinois and Ohio State play for a wooden turtle?

I'm OK with cogent analysis of Mallett. Especially considering that he will probably play the next three years with an actual coaching staff.

He shows trememndous potential. He will learn to feel the pressure as he goes on, and learn to toss the ball out of bounds. He may also get receivers who can make a catch or fight for a ball that isn't dropped into their jockstrap. He may also get receivers who won't drop a pass at a crucial time.

When you play a freshman QB, even this late, you do things to help him out (especially when Mike Hart is also injured).

Ever hear of a screen? The "tight end"? A reverse? An end around?
What do you do when your offensive line plays so horribly? When your running backs can't block?

What do you do when your defense gets it's ass handed to it? When they give up huge chunks of yardage? Can;t hold on third down? Can't make a a play to turn the game around (an interception or fumble returned for a TD, or generate a turnover in the other teams end of the field. And what do you do when they know how to use punting to their advantage to pin you deep in your end so many times?

And lemme axe you dis: How about special teams? Zolton Mesko has to be the worst punter in college football. His kicks are not high, nor are they long.

Has anyone EVER seen Michigan block a punt or a field goal?

Sometimes, too, it is OK to return kickoffs more than 16 yards and punts more than 3 yards. And guess what? It is LEGAL to return them for touchdowns occassionally (and not just against Indiana or Northworstern).

Lastly, though I am no expert, I believe that it IS OK to have your players motivated when the game starts, to have them fired up and ready to "kick some arse". That may be a tactic that could prove more beneficial than having to look at the game clock week in and week out and finding yourself down by ten or more points in the fourth quarter.

When you have a freshman QB, all other aspects of the TEAM need to play better than they usually do. They need to "step it up". You hope the freshman limits his mistakes, and you hope the rest of the team can hold up their end of the bargain while you wait for the freshman to make the ten or twelve (if that) good plays he is going to make, especially against a quality opponent.

Mario dropped a pass in the fourth that may have duplicated the 97 yarder. Greg Matthews flailed away like a bukdow on the long interception. Manningham spent the game pouting and yelling at Mallett (even the announcer said that Mallett may have been goaded into that last interception by Manningham's bullshit). Shawn Crable get's thirty yards of penalties on a short field, leading to a Wisconsin touchdown. There had to be thirty pairs of Wolverine defensive players underwear on the field after the game as they all forgot how to tackle, when they weren't just getting the hell out of the Badgers' way.

Mallett will be GREAT at UM. There isn't a college coach in the counrty who wouldn't want to be able to coach the offensive talent UM has. The only coaching staff who doesn't appreciate UM's offenseive potential is unfortunately housed in Fort Schembechler.

Not for long, though.

Didn't you post that in another thread?

Yes, but they's a lotta bitches dat need to read dis shit.
