Brady is what you say , A 6th rounder. don't make him out to be anything more.

I keep hoping that when I see there has been new posts.. it is related to Mike Hart making increasingly stupid comments to the press, or Arrington getting pinched for firing up a blunt or something, or Maybe Mallet deciding to go back to Texas because he hates the smell in Ann Arbor or something.

But all I read is post after post, of these Michigan posters, holding court over here.

I enjoy there insiders info about news that has happened etc. but this is ridiculous

You're right Shaker...I'll quit responding in this thread about Henne vs. Brennan....maybe someone could split the thread

Wow....just wow.....Good to see you can be logical in this discussion....I forgot you have to be a first or second round pick to be a superstar in this league. One of the worst posts I've seen in my lifetime.

i think the point is that ttun had an nfl pro bowl caliber qb, and managed to develop him into a 6th round draft pick. now, obviously he wasn't pro bowl caliber as a senior in college, but there's a reason the whole 6th round pick angle gets played as much as it does.

Two University of Michigan football players are accused of attacking a man at Touchdown Cafe in Ann Arbor last March, causing injuries so severe the victim required facial surgery.

Quintin Patilla, 19, was bound over on a misdemeanor aggravated assault charge at the conclusion of his preliminary hearing in Washtenaw County District Court on Wednesday, said Ann Arbor Police Detective Amy Ellinger.
His teammate, Robert Thornbladh, 20, faces a felony charge of assault with intent to commit great bodily harm, along with misdemeanor assault charges. He is scheduled to appear in court for a pre-trial hearing later this month.


Both men were with a group of football players and were identified by witnesses as participating in a fight with a 25-year-old Ann Arbor man on March 9, Ellinger said. The bar was particularly crowded that night because of a charity function, and the victim and players got into a shoving match that escalated into a fight, Ellinger said.


The victim, a Washtenaw Community College student, was taken to the U-M Medical Center and needed surgery to repair his face, police said.
He was the only witness to testify at Patilla's hearing Wednesday, Ellinger said.


Court records show prosecutors initially charged Patilla with misdemeanor assault and battery for his role, but dismissed the charge late last month. Last week, prosecutors levied a felony charge of assault with intent to commit great bodily harm against Patilla, but District Judge John B. Collins dismissed that charge Wednesday because of a lack of evidence.


No new hearing date was set in the misdemeanor case. Ellis Freatman, Patilla's attorney, could not be reached by The News Wednesday.


Patilla, from Flint, remains free on personal bond.


Thornbladh is accused of stomping on the victim's head while wearing heavy boots during the fray, authorities said. His attorney, Rolland Sizemore, disputed that account Wednesday.


Sizemore said his client was involved in the fight, but videotape evidence shows Thornbladh was not standing near the victim's head.


"Robbie maintains his innocence, and the evidence is very clear that he did not commit assault with intent to commit great bodily harm," Sizemore said.


Both Thornbladh and Patilla are redshirt freshmen fullbacks with the Wolverines, and have been practicing with the team during its ongoing training camp. Thornbladh, a Pioneer High School graduate, is not on scholarship, while Patilla is a scholarship athlete from Flint Carman-Ainsworth High.


"I am aware of the incident involving Quintin Patilla and Robbie Thornbladh that occurred on March 9, 2007," Michigan coach Lloyd Carr said in a statement issued to The News on Wednesday night. "I will comment when the judicial process is concluded."

I posted that on the police/legal blotter thread early this morning. I guess nobody saw it on there. It's amazing that they can keep these stories buried for so long at scUM. If it was OSU, the media would be all over it 20 minutes after it happened.

"Robbie maintains his innocence, and the evidence is very clear that he did not commit assault with intent to commit great bodily harm," Sizemore said.

Is that kind of like not getting in trouble as long as you didn't hit the other guy with a bottle, just an empty fist? If anyone remembers that little gem from Lloyd.

You are talking about Marlin "bottlehead" Jackson. The guy required stitches on his face and Jackson claimed he didn't hit him with any object. I'm sure this defense attorney will say this poor guy threw himself on someone's shoe and it was self inflicted.

Thereafter to be known as the "Sole Man" defense.

The last time I checked, being able to hit your receivers was a more important attribute than being able to hand the ball off.

And to add to that, "gimmick" offense or not, Brennan had the highest completion precentage in the country last year. Combined with how many passes that team threw last year and a lower talent level at WR than what Henne has at his disposal every Saturday, that's impressive. Having seen a Hawaii game last year (and Henne over and over the last 3 years), I'll take Brennan over Henne, even though Henne made some big strides last year.

Only knock on Brennan is that he doesn't to face the type of stingy defenses that Henne has had to face here in the Big Ten, where teams have to ready themselves for half of their games to defend against the spread (and similar pass-happy offenses). Henne is more experienced in that regard and its possible the NFL game might be too big of a change for Brennan at the next level.



P.S.-- It's an absolute joke that those two thugs (Thornbladh and Patilla) aren't suspended indefinetly or kicked off the team. That fight is 1 facial reconstrucion, 2 misdemeanors, and a felony! That's not a push or a parking ticket there, Llllloyd. Just another difference between michigan and Ohio State.

Even if scUM doesn't win the Big Ten this year, they got a serious chance at bringing home the hardware with the Fulmer Cup.

HERE Stewart Mandel predicts that LLLoyd Carr will LLLeave coaching, or at least TSUN, after this year.

He's clearly just speculating, but it is worth noting that the topic is being discussed so openly.

Brady SB Stats

Rams SB Game: 16/27, 145 yards 1 TD, 0 INT (Led GW Drive)
Panthers SB Game: 32/48,354 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT (Led GW Drive)
Eagles SB Game: 23/30, 236 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT

Manning SB Stats

Bears SB Game: 25/38, 247 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT

I'll pull up the all-time playoff stats between the two if that's what you want. Hint: It gets worse for Manning

But OH MY GOD! Brady went to Michigan so we have to live in denial about how good he is! No one from Michigan could ever be that good! Brady almost made the SB last year WITH JABAR GAFFNEY AND RECHE CALDWELL AS RECEIVERS! That's absurd.

I've said before many times that my hatred for Brady has absolutely nothing to do with him being from Michigan. I don't even remember him at Michigan, and it's insulting for you to insinuate that I'll hate somebody for a reason as ignorant as where he played college football.

Get over yourself.

Maybe not you, but for others to make dumbass statements like "Brady's only a 6th rounder, nothing more" really begs the question as to whether they would be saying the same if he were a Buckeye.

Moving along from possibly the most rehashed debate in football (Brady vs. Manning......Carlos Brown broke his hand in practice and will have surgery to fix it. Not sure as to how long he will be out.

U-M return man to have surgery today on broken hand
