8:39
ace williams: I actually think he ends up at MSU

8:40

Chance we flip burbidge?
8:41

8:41
Comment From bmgoblue
whens payton decideding and whos is gpong with
8:42
ace williams: On OSU: There is no question they want Urban. There is a new rumor floating that they may impose a bowl ban THIS SEASON to try and soften the blows from NCAA
8:42
Comment From PussyFucker
Where does Meyer end up coaching?
8:43
ace williams: I think Meyer will end up at 1 of 3 places in the next 3 years: OSU this year, Texas in 1-3yrs if/when Mack retires or ND if BK doesnt go to a BCS game by next season
8:44
ace williams: On Schutt . . he may have interest in Michigan, but, from what I know they interest is not mutual and Michigan is going to spend the last few 'ships on other positions
8:44
Comment From sam
So who is the mystery committed recruit that is looking at Michigan closely? Burbridge?
8:44
Comment From PussyFucker
Hows this class finish out?
8:45
ace williams: I think we end with Dunn, Yuri, Diggs (maybe) and 1 other WR (burbridge, payton, darboh)
8:45
ace williams: there is some room in there for a QB too....
8:46
ace williams: i am still hearing QB QB QB when i get my recruiting info, but no rock solid names
8:46
Comment From Dog
If we lose to ohio state, As of right now i dont think we will, and ohio state does get a bowl ban what does bri
8:46
ace williams: if we lose to osu, i dont see Dunn as an option any more
8:46
Comment From Pazman
You think Brian Kelly would be replaced that quickly if no BCS ?
8:46
ace williams: depends . . if he loses to MI and USC next year, I could see him getting canned if Urban is still out there
8:46
Comment From Skeptic
Who do you think Michigan lands at wr and why do you think they land those wrs?
8:47
ace williams: I still think Diggs is a guy we are going to go after hard after OSU game.... payton is 50/50... burbridge just might get back in the picture.
8:47
Comment From Dog
If we lose to Ohio State, I personally dont think we will, and they get atleast a one year bowl ban, what do you think bri'onte dunn does as he is very interested in the allegations
8:47
Comment From grrwolve
Hey Ace....read your last write-up...I think "soft" is more of a figurative term...but I really think that we donlt have all the horses to compete with the tough teams...yet
8:48
ace williams: I think our D is no longer soft.... we might have the softest O in the Big Ten though
8:48
ace williams: not a single tough guy on that side of the ball
8:48
Comment From bmgoblue
payton ?
8:50
Comment From Pazman
Any news about Wes Brown ?
8:51
ace williams: On wes brown..... i havent heard much on him from coaches side . . . but i know Countess would love to have him here so never say never
8:51
ace williams: some at ESPN think he is better than Dunn
8:51
Comment From Joe from gr
Burbidge would switch?
8:51
ace williams: not likely on AB but possible
8:51
Comment From grrwolve
your thoughts on landing an OL ...Garnett, Diamond...or how about that OL from Colorado who decommitted from PSU?
8:52
ace williams: I dont think Garnett is coming, and I know the coaches will only take Diamond if its the last ship to give and all other prospects above him are cvommitted elsewhere
8:52
Comment From MKen
Any truth to the rumor Kiel is strongly considering UM?
8:52
ace williams: I dont think there is much truth to that rumor. whats the source of that rumor/
8:52
Comment From Joe from gr
Talylor lewan not tough? All I head all off season how tough he was from writers
8:53
ace williams: he is sorta tough.... not 110% mean streak guy though
8:53
Comment From Pazman
If Devin beats out Denard next spring do you see the coaches finding a new position for him ?
8:53
ace williams: if he beats him out i think Denard becomes percy harvin
8:53
Comment From bmgoblue
do we beat nebraska and score
8:53
ace williams: tough to say on NU . . . heart says 21-10 M . . head says 28-14 NU
8:53
Comment From Dog
what do you think for the final two games?
8:54
ace williams: right now, i say we lose both... but I always get the scoop fridays before game and make my calls then
8:54
Comment From Guest
Not a single tough guy on offense? didnt we just dominate the number one rushing defense in the big ten?
8:54
ace williams: did u watch the 2nd/3rd Q
8:55
Comment From Daniel
What bowl game do you expect Michigan to be in?
8:55
ace williams: well.... if i was a betting man (and i am) i say outback
8:55
Comment From Skeptic
how much does michigan practice punt returns... seems like the blocking is pretty weak (though it was some what better this weak against illinois)
8:56
ace williams: they dont have a great strategy on PR for TD's
8:56
ace williams: goal is to get space and hope for 10+ yards
8:57
Comment From Guest
espn recruiting is terrible.
8:57
Comment From MKen
Not sure, heard it 2nd hand
8:57
Comment From MKen
If Denard is the starter next yr, would DG look elsewhere?
8:57
ace williams: doubt it . . serves no point . .
8:57
ace williams: he will sit in 2012 regardless
8:57
Comment From Joe from gr
Can we win this week with devin?
8:57
ace williams: yes but its all on O line if Devin is back there
8:57
ace williams: they wont throw more than 12 times if DG starts
8:58
Comment From Pazman
What happens with M. Robinson ?
8:58
ace williams: i think Marvin willl end up staying and not see much on the charges that came out
9:01
Comment From sam
baloney. Fitz is a hard runner. Molk & Lewan are tough kids.
9:01
ace williams: i am not calling any kids out here guys . . . saying we have lost 15!!! straight games against the Big Ten tough guys!
9:01
ace williams: that is an UNREAL stat!
9:01
Comment From walmartdog2
So you really think Dunn is putting that much stock into the winner of the OSU/UM game as to wear he attends college for 3-4 years?
9:02
ace williams: i do .... if we cant beat OSU this year, in Dunns eyes, when can we ever beat them?
9:02
Comment From MKen
wish Gallon would run up and be aggressive on short punts. letting them bounce constantly drives me nuts.
9:02
Comment From Skeptic
You dont think vincent smith is a tough guy... a 5 ft 7 guy putting his body on the line with a 230 pounder trying to run over him is pretty tough in my mind. He doesn't back down.
9:02
ace williams: Vince is tough, but so is my little brother when we box, i still kick his butt
9:02
Comment From Guest
I did watch the entire game, well after Cincy lost to WVU. The O was able to impose their will early. Illinois made some adjustments. Rarely will a team dominate an opponent the entire game. Point is they can do it.
9:02
Comment From grrwolve
what's the scoop on further departures/attrition?
9:03
ace williams: we wont see any departures til after bowl game
9:04
Comment From Guest
Will Treadwell commit this weekend?
9:04
ace williams: i dont discuss 2013 until February
9:04
Comment From Joe from gr
Its over a play station it's rediculous charges I hear!
9:04
Comment From grrwolve
Devin is rather tentative, specially when passing.....maybe he needs to develop his confidence...
9:04
ace williams: they need to drop devin back in the pocket henne style
9:04
ace williams: thats where his skills come into play
9:05
ace williams: and then he can run (like i wish Denard would) if nothing open
9:05
ace williams: Devin not good on designed QB runs
9:06
Comment From wolverdog2
What does Dunn care SO much about the results of the UM/OSU game?
9:06
ace williams: like i said . . if we dont win this year, when will we win?
9:06
Comment From PussyFucker
Marvin practiced with the team today
9:06
ace williams: is that a fact? Hadnt heard much about him
9:07
Comment From Guest
Speaking of the PR. Why is Gallon so afraid to catch the ball on the fly? He lets the ball bounce and we usually lose about 10 yards or more in field position. When he does decide to make the catch, he normally calls fair catch when he has 5 yards to make a move. Do the coaches not have any faith in him?
9:07
ace williams: i think sometimes he has flashbacks to many fumbles from last yr and gets nervous
9:07
Comment From rgetzx
Any chance we pursue Gehrig Dieter?
9:07
Comment From Guest
What is your scoop on the charges from M rob? Do you know the story or what?
9:07
ace williams: dont know much on situation with MRob . . wasnt in loop on that at all
9:07
Comment From WigHart
My father say Kalis play Saturday night. Said he was awsome but they lost.
9:07
Comment From Jax Blue
Why do our corners play 10 yards off the receivers?!?
9:08
ace williams: you wont see corners playing off the next 2 weeks
9:08
Comment From Skeptic
Unrelated to Michigan... who do you got in Kentucky Kansas... I just put money on Kentucky to cover the -6
9:08
ace williams: kentucky is so stacked its absurd. they win by 15+
9:08
Comment From sam
The kids have been coached in a finesse system for the last 3 years and are not used to getting punched in the face and punching back. The D is showing signs. The O is a year away.
9:08
ace williams: good call Sam . . hope so!
9:09
ace williams: anyone bet on Michigan vs Illinois like i said to??
9:09
Comment From grrwolve
agree with you....Devin needs to process quickly and commit!! If he waits he gets sacked or worse...
9:09
Comment From sam
The offenses problem is that Denard is not a passing QB and is turnover prone. That's why they struggle against better teams when DR does not out talent the opponent.
9:10
ace williams: Denard has been hurt for a month . . . remember that. I think he can pass, remember beginning of 2010?
9:10
Comment From wolverdog2
Do you have any solution to the trolls that flood the UM Mlive forum every day?
9:10
ace williams: they should have a Flag button. 5 flags and you are out
9:10
Comment From Joe from gr
Guys lets all be honest we really need to beat Ohio this year cause it's our best chance in last 4 years
9:10
Comment From Joe from gr
The story was over a playststion 3!
9:10
Comment From Joe from gr
Would you give the 3 this week?
9:11
ace williams: i wouldnt bet this game with uncertainty surrounding our QB
9:11
Comment From Pazman
Worse passer , Denard or T. Martinez ???
9:11
ace williams: if both are healthy Denard is better
9:13
Comment From Joe from gr
Martinez throws like a girl
9:13
Comment From grrwolve
but ...T. Martinez is tougher...can stand more hits..
9:13
Comment From sam
Minimize TO's n beats the Huskers. The D will be prepared.
9:13
ace williams: k, i said this has to be a short chat tonight . . . i can do another for 45 min on Thursday if anyone is interested
9:13
Comment From Skeptic
rivals projects michigan v south carolina in a bowl game... who would you take in that game and what spread would you put on it
9:13
ace williams: I would take SC and spread would be SC -10
9:14
ace williams: unless we smoke OSU/NU then it could drop to 3 or 4
9:15
Comment From Jax Blue
I believe our next two games comes down to Al Borgus play calling.
9:15
ace williams: spot on Jax . . .
9:15
ace williams: have to play to strengths of this O
9:15
Comment From Joe from gr
See you Thursday ace!
9:15
Comment From grrwolve
OK Ace...thanks as always. Look forward to hearing from you.
9:16
ace williams: ok... thursday same time for about 45 min it is! I should know a lot about Denards progress then
9:16
ace williams: thanks for coming out everyone!
9:16
Comment From rgetzx
