Like I said, Graham is excellent. Yes, he does get double teams, because he is one of the only good defenders for the yellow and blue. Who do you double team for OSU and who do you leave "un-double" teamed? They are all studs!

Geez, welcome to the conversation, this was addressed like 8 hours ago.

Exactly....you're saying he has good numbers because hes the only one thats any good on the front 7 correct? So if hes still putting up numbers while being the focus of the defense and being doubled ...Why wouldnt he produce if he was on a team of all good players where he wouldnt face constant double teams?

Not what I am saying. I am saying he stands out more because he is so good and the rest are so bad.

Whereas on OSU, everyone is a standout, so no one stands out more than another (well besides Heyward and Gibson).

I thought I was clear, but maybe not. I did say Graham is an excellent player. Are you just trying to argue or did you really not know what I meant?

What the else do you expect Michigan fans to comment on right now. They certainly can't talk about their lack of a football team. OOPS.... sorry I forgot, they have won more games than any other college football program.

When Graham does go to his job interviews, I doubt his poor english is going to turn NFL GM's away. Michigan as an educational institution is to better prepare their students for life in the workforce. I think it did it's job with Graham.

If he would have said it at another time besides this week would it be that big of a deal?

The reason I ask is because Boren made some comments and trashed the entire program under Rodriguez. Wouldn't this be more bulletin board material than Graham calling Boren out? This is the first time Boren will go up against Michigan; I'm guessing his comments are posted in the locker room somewhere.

Graham better hope that he doesn't get injured in the next few weeks, that's all I am saying. When you are senior in college it's inexcusable to not have a major.

It looks like we have come full circle though. What you just said equates to what I have been saying all along. Graham was never at Michigan's fine academic institution to take advantage of the free schooling at one of the better universities in the US. He was there for the NFL and NFL only, and it's clear. Especially when after 4 (5 yrs if he redshirted) he still doesn't know when to use "is" and "are"

His poor grammar may not hurt his potential in the NFL, but his playing on a crappy michigan team certainly doesn't help his cause. If anything "the fine educational institution" at Michigan (where they apparently don't teach the difference between "is" and "are") is actually hurting Graham's draft stock.

Yea but if it was one of the Buckeyes, scUM Nation would be all over him and spouting off about their super academic institution. So yea I'll take the opportunity to kick him in the ribs when I have the chance.

I think all this pre-game talking is overblown. When it comes into play is during the game once one team has imposed its will. David Boston shot off his big mouth (it was on roids too) a few years ago and when Michigan started owning our Bucks, Woodson started in on Boston, who did nothing in that game. He talked but he didn't back it up. Mike Hart did the same thing - several times. The Buckeyes will have a lot of fun with those guys Saturday afternoon if this game goes like we all think it will. If they can back it up... well I don't even want to contemplate it.

Tinkertrain put together a complete sentence - even though it starts with a verb, the subject is implied.

Nobody is saying TP is a Rhodes Scholar. In fact that was very stupid and I called him out on JJhuddle when it happened. The point here is that Michigan is supposed to be one of the top universities in the United States (academically) and you have a guy who doesn't know basic grammar.

-Ohio St is nowhere close to Michigan academically. I know plenty of numbskulls who have gone to OSU-
LOL what?

Ohio State is one of the premier academic institutions in the country and is on par with Michigan and other supposed top notch schools. Ohio State is building the leaders of tomorrow, today, and you can take that to the bank.

Michigan is #27 in the nation.

Ohio State is #53
