Sure there's other track athletes who have beaten Bolt / might be on his level, but for the most part, the majority of the population is simply behind him.



People aren't giving props to just how fast Ginn truly was. Not saying "no one" is as fast, or faster, than Ginn... rather, just trying to say Ginn's speed in college was probably the 97% percentile, if not higher. Give the man his due/respect.

He's small anyway, I'm cool with it.

"He dodges tacklers," Madison said. "Instead of delivering the blow, he's running away from it. That's going to get him in bad situations. When you catch the ball, you have to have bad intentions. If you look at a guy like Hines Ward, when he catches the ball he's turning around and looking up. Ted Ginn is usually catching the ball running backwards and slipping and falling. You may be able to run through one of those tackles or the defensive back may miss or fall down and then you can use your speed. But he's always ducking and dodging."

lhslep134;1486889 wrote:To be honest it was much more perplexing than anger inducing. I'm not disagreeing with you and pick who have no problem with one of our more important players taking fewer hits.

It was just so weird to see him go out of bounds 3 or 4 yards before a defender would have touched him. Most players would sneak out right before contact, not 3 yards before.

I'm going to look for some video proof of what I'm saying.

With all the hype and positive vibes swirling as Ohio State prepares for a run at the crystal football, I'm not quite sure we've taken enough time to smirk at our friends to the north.
Thankfully, our friends at MLive.com are a giving bunch as they remind us of the following:

• It's been 3,194 days and counting since Michigan last won at least a share of the B1G title.
• Since Brady Hoke arrived on the scene, his Wolverines are 5-7 on the road.
• The once proud Michigan defense mustered exactly 12 sacks a season ago.
