If you want to coach, sign up for the job! If you want to be a fan, then be a true fan. RR will get his opportunity says Sue, so get on the bus or turn in your ticket! I remember everybody (all the experts) saying Payton Manning was too slow to QB in the SEC or play in the NFL) Minor will be picked up in the late rounds maybe sooner and will get his chance. Let's see what Minor says at the combine. Then you can say I told you so! Or maybe not?

u are so right zulu. All i heard on 1050 wtka was sam webb telling me how Barwis was this mma trainer and michigan would be able to outlast all the big 10 teams. We'd be leaner, meaner, faster, yet I see nothing either. Or then again it could be the opposite and he's working them so hard that they've turned fragile on us. Barwis is OVERRATED like a delusional poem from theo

Could someone please help me understand this. Mike Barwic, the strength and conditioning coach was suppose to be this guru who was to implement a program designed to not only develop the players physically and give them all of this physicality but help them avoid injuries as well. It seems that after every game, this running back or that running back suffered some type of imjury. It seems nowadays all you have to do is talk a good game and come up with some new words and everybody thinks you are a guru. What about good old fashion conditioning.

I'm sure Minor can't wait to get back on the field and 'Win one for RR.'

Minor has little chance of moving to the NFL for two reasons. One he has had very limited playing time over the last four years because.. Two, he is very injury prone.

I truly hope that minor heals and that nfl scouts see the type of runner he can be when used. Keep the head up Brandon, it will be over soon
