Well he's a "small cat". I hope his career matches that of Andre Ware when he was with the Lions. All potential but no results. Our new coach has his work cut out for him. Name his three QBs in camp...quickly without looking. Didn't think so...........

Looks like they may have to lower their academic standards and enroll some pop warner dude from the hood with mad running skills

My three points on the subject> Are the SAT/ACT standards higher at U-M than OSU? Did Tressul's track record outshine Rodriguez's? and finally did he do a history check on the Michigan QB's who made it to the NFL compared to the OSU QB's

M
Tom Brady >3 time super bowl champion &
Brian Griese >National Champion
Elvis Grebec
Todd Collins
Jim Harbaugh
John Navarre
not to mention all of the RB & DB if he gets relegated to that position

OSU
Art Schlicter
bobby Hoying
Joe Germiane
Troy Smith

None of these guys had a significant impact in the NFL other than Art's gambling issues

I think the # of qb's sent to the NFL by each team doesn't hold water for several reasons. The first reason is the coaching staffs are totally different so its like comparing apples to oranges. The second is Pryor's talent has nothing to do with any of those other guys. There is no way of predicting Pryor's ability compared to the others. My personal opinion is he doesn't seem to fit the NFL qb mold, so I won't be shocked if he tears up the college scene and flops on the NFL scene. Unless he is a much better passer than I think he is. Plus its kind of silly to even be talking about his NFL chances when he hasn't even proven he is good enough to excel in college. Although I like his chances.

Not sure why OSU has struggled with sending qb's to the NFL. My guess is it didn't require much skill to hand off three times each series during the Woody era so talented qb's wanted to go elsewhere, which is understandable. So based on this theory, I would say the reason why UM has sent more qb's to the NFL than OSU is because they have had better athletes at qb than OSU. Which again, goes along with my point that it is all immaterial because I think Pryor is better than all the other qb's listed, at least as far as hype goes.

I just figured that the U of M list was more cerebral than the bunch from OSU. Brady was a 6th round pick who had very limited physical skills. He was just able to thread the needle, plus he bulked up and got stronger for the pros.

A first grade teacher explains to her class that she is a Michigan Wolverine. She asks her students to raise their hands if they're Wolverines too. Not really knowing what a Wolverine is but wanting to be like their teacher, their hands explode into the air like fleshy fireworks


There is, however, one exception. A girl named Kristen has not gone along with the crowd.


The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different. "Because I'm not a Wolverine." "Then," asks the teacher, "What are you?" "Why I'm a proud OSU Buckeye," boasts the little girl.


The teacher is perturbed now, her face slightly red. She asks Kristen why she is a rebel. "Well, my mom and dad are Buckeyes, so I'm a Buckeye, too."


The teacher is now angry. "That's no reason," she says loudly. "What if your mom was a moron, and your dad was a moron. What would you be then?"


A pause, and a smile. "Then," says Kristen, "I'd be a Wolverine."

This loss tonight to the Celtics in game 3 right after we stole home court from them in game 2 left a great big hole in my heart. In fact, it hurts so much, it feels like a loss to UM right now. In fact, this is how I feel right now. YouTube - Terry Jacks - Seasons In The Sun
