    no, it wouldn't. and if you don't think you'd make more money w/ texas coming to town than umass, you're crazy.

    Troll, can you read? This thread isn't about Texas. Nobody in this thread gives a sh*t about that school.

    gives them a game against another top 5 all-time opponent in a talent rich state. some of michigan's best defenses had texas players on them, but you haven't pulled too many good players from the state since mack got here.

    Top 5 teams? You mean like ND (#4) and Nebraska (#3)? We play them every year. We also play OSU (#6) every year and PSU (#5) very regularly. How many top 5 teams does UT play every year?

    Finally.

    I would like an overview on your DBs. Basically everything you wanted from our receivers, I want on your DBs. Thanks.

    Milliner former 5 star. Real fast. Has the most experience as far as our corners go. Could push himself into the 1st round with a solid year

    John Fulton looks to start on the other side. Played mainly STs thus far but he was running with the 1s during spring.

    Robert Lester - our senior safety. Gonna be in charge of making sure everyone is where they are supposed to be. Another four star

    Vinnie Sunseri - sophomore safety who is a ball hawk. Has a knack for being where the ball is. Really smart guy who has our defense down

    #1 CB- RS. Jr?. Dee Milliner: 6'1"/200 Lbs. Strengths: Length, Speed, and hitting power. Like most of our guys, really good in run support and has a great knowledge of our system
    Weaknesses: Bites on a lot of fakes, and sometimes out of position(If I am not mistaked) Others will have a better overview of specific strengths/weaknesses in coverages

    #2 CB- Sr. John Fulton: 6'/187 Lbs. Strengths: Knowledge of system, Jamming ability is top notch(At least in the spring) Weaknesses: Hasn't got a lot, if any starts, but has played some. So all in all talented just not a lot of good experience.

    #3 CB- Jr. Deion Belue:5'11"/180 Stengths: Speed, acceleration. Weaknesses: Not a lot of experience.

    Could potentially be the #2 guy but my money is on Fulton who has more experience. Belue is not a drop off though and is really well looked upon by Saban since he is being considered for a starting role, over a Sr.

    Overall Grade- Flat B. A good unit, not great.

    You guys have trouble marketing your games though, proof in the success of LHN. It isn't a win situation for Michigan, they lose a potential home game and don't gain any revenue by playing at Texas. Really is pointless for both squads. If Texas wanted to do a neutral site, then maybe, but home and home series are pretty stupid unless the opponent is a rival, like Notre Dame.

    roflmao holy shit that's rich! there's 1 game on lhn, and that's a game that used to be pay-per-view. texas is the most profitable program in the nation - there's zero problem marketing the longhorns. lhn is stupid, but the problem isn't the appeal of the longhorns - the problem is espn thinking cable carriers are going to add it to a free tier and eat the cost.

    pointless for both squads? big time regular season games between teams that don't regularly play each other are bad-fucking-ass. both teams get a shitload of publicity and exposure, regardless of the outcome. as shitty as ohio state fans are, the series w/ them in 05/06 was greatness. so was notre dame back in 95/96 and we're playing them again soon as well. usc in a couple of years will be awesome as well. ou played bama h/h a couple of years ago and has nd, tennessee, ohio state and lsu on their slate - that's just badass scheduling.

  • Our two returning starters are Milliner at Corner and Lester at safety. Milliner was a 5* coming out of hs and started his first year. Last year he gave way to Menzie but started several games anyway and played significant minutes in all of them. He is generally thought to go in the first round, maybe early second in the upcoming draft.

    Lester is in his senior year after starting the last two. He had 8 picks year before last but only two last year I believe. He's a very solid safety and most think he'll be a second to third round draft choice in this coming draft- from what I've seen anyway.

    Second corner could be Juco DB Deion Blue who impressed in spring drills or John Fulton who is going to be a junior and has seen a lot of backup minutes the past two seasons. Supposedly the light came on this spring do he could have won that second CB job.

    Second safety will probably be split between Clibton-Dix and Vinnie Sunseri. Sunseri is about 5'10 but stout. He's not as physically gifted but is one of the best tacklers on the team and understands the defense very well. Kid is just a playmaker. HCD was a 5* out of hs and IMO will win the safety job while Sunseri plays Star, but I wouldn't be surprised if Sunseri got it by virtue of his knowledge of the D.

    I would put our secondary at only slightly worse than last year but some will say that's the homer in me speaking.

    This but you'll probably see a lot of Ha-Ha at safety (5 star player) as well and Deion Belue at corner (fast as fvck kid that committed to Alabama a couple of years ago but had to go the juco route). Alabama likes rotating players in when they can.

    i'm well aware of all of this. didn't say i was upset about it, although i'd have loved to see that series played. just thought it was odd that michigan would take a nuetral site game against bama and not a h/h w/ texas, that's all.

    Alabama is a pretty high profile team. They've won two out of the past three MNCs. You find it odd we would choose to play them over UT? And even if we wanted to play UT, maybe the two schools didn't have open dates on the same weekend. Don't get me wrong. I would love to play UT. I would also love to play Georgia, LSU, Florida, Oklahoma, TAMU and several other schools. And I'm thrilled to be playing Bama. You can't play everyone.

    MrWoodson

  • Safety position for 'Bama:

    #1 S- Sr. Robert Lester: 6'2"/210 Strengths: I will try and not be a homer, but this guy doesn't make many mistakes and I can't find faults. So he does everything well. Best player in our secondary to start the year IMO.

    #2 S- So. Vinnie Sunseri: 6'/215 Strengths: Knowledge of the playbook, HIGH football IQ, hitting power, and just has the "It" factor for making plays, experience. Weaknesses: Only one I can think of really is Not top notch speed and COULD get burned, but that usually is Lesters job to get them deep.

    #3 S- So. Haha Clinton-Dix: 6'1"/210 Strengths: Size, Speed, Range. Weaknesses: Lack of Playing time, I am not sure how he does in run coverage so that Might be a liability, not sure.

    Overall Grade- A. I am very happy with the safety situation.

    agree w/ all of that. and i never said michigan was scared to play texas or anything like that at all. when texas was trying to schedule um, we were the defending nat'l champs and had just played you in the rose bowl the year before that.

    I am looking forward to this game almost as much as I look forward to tOSU game each year. I had plans to go, the wife vetoed it for a Disney World trip instead...

    Anyway, I would like more info on Alabama, and some of the sites you guys read for Bama news. I will be linking places that I get Michigan news and I will update the OP with links given by other Michigan fans, and by Alabama fans. I will also link past discussion with Bama fans that have taken place at Woverine247.

    Michigan links,
    http://mgoblog.com/ One of the best for getting all things Michigan.
    http://mgoblog.com/category/user-tags/alabam-2012 Recent article from Mgoblog on Alabama.
    http://holdintherope.blogspot.com/ This site did a whole position by position breakdown of Alabama.
    http://touchthebanner.blogspot.com/ He covers recruiting more than the game, but I like the countdown of impact Michigan players for the 2012 season.
    http://thisismichiganfootball.blogspot.com/ Strictly a recruiting site.

    Alabama links,
