Nice video about McCarthy and Michigan overall from Greg McElroy

Nah -- not good, needs another year of starting experience
October 10th, 2023 at 10:27 PM ^
I'm with you. The whole team is too short, too slow (except for anyone whose exhausted all their COVID eligibility).
October 10th, 2023 at 7:14 PM ^
He's still not worthy of the chick Musburger got his stiffy at full attention over but thumbs up for his JJ take.
October 10th, 2023 at 7:22 PM ^
Wrong Bama QB. You are thinking about AJ McCarron
October 10th, 2023 at 7:30 PM ^
That was 10 YEARS ago. According to the googles, AJ McCarron and Katherine Webb are happily married with 3 kids, and she plans to cheer him on from the stands while he plays XFL games.
October 10th, 2023 at 7:30 PM ^
Lolz ur right. But dudes wife is super hot too.
October 11th, 2023 at 6:18 AM ^
This is as creepy as Musberger’s bizarre foray into stream-of-consciousness announcing. Why do people think it’s okay to make public comments about the physical attributes of complete strangers?!? It’s the mindset that it’s okay to catcall or whistle at a woman walking on the sidewalk. She’s done nothing to deserve that kind of harassment. And yes it is harassment. Keep it to yourselves.

Obligatory Conan Musburger moment.
October 11th, 2023 at 11:52 AM ^
All right that was fucking hilarious.
October 10th, 2023 at 7:21 PM ^
If you read that Bill Connelly tweet about JJ earlier this week, this is basically the exact same information and argument.
October 10th, 2023 at 7:30 PM ^
Pretty sure Michigan players will take a natty over a heisman or biletnikof award winner.
October 10th, 2023 at 8:10 PM ^
He says Roman Wilson and CJ are on pace for 20 TDs combined. That's like saying Hank and Tom Aaron hold the record for home runs by brothers.
October 10th, 2023 at 8:30 PM ^
The old Brett Hull/Bobby Hull combined statistic
October 10th, 2023 at 8:35 PM ^
John Belushi/Jim Belushi?
October 10th, 2023 at 7:46 PM ^
JJ could lead the country in stats, if they mattered. Jim, as the leader of this program, got everyone to buy into the team approach. Individual awards are nice, but the natty is better. I guess the talking points don't understand this approach and think selfishness is better than selflessness.
October 10th, 2023 at 8:39 PM ^
I’m sure if you ask JJ there is one stat that matters to him.
Rings.
October 10th, 2023 at 10:00 PM ^
Rings, dubs, natties!
October 10th, 2023 at 11:03 PM ^
It would not surprise me if he is the 1st QB taken in the draft.
Scouts know.
October 11th, 2023 at 9:50 AM ^
JJ might be deserving of being the first QB taken - however, it won’t happen. Wilson has the Hollywood / USC hype. JJ, last I checked, doesn’t paint his fingernails with messages directed at his opponent. Caleb is all style, JJ is substance.
The Chicago Bears, will invest in another “can’t miss QB prospect”, and - it will be a train wreck - with Wilson. Wait and see…
October 11th, 2023 at 9:53 AM ^
Williams?
October 10th, 2023 at 11:08 PM ^
I'm pretty sure he has a ring case with a spot for a national championship ring. I remember him mentioning it in an interview.
October 10th, 2023 at 10:04 PM ^
If you were to peruse the box scores for most of the playoff era championship games you could be led to believe that QB stats are important to winning a “natty”.
October 10th, 2023 at 7:57 PM ^
If I promised you that the winner of the national championship would be the fanbase that had the lowest ratio of the word "natty" to the phrase "national championship," would you stop using it? Please?
"Natty" is a word. It is an adjective. It means smartly attired. It is more commonly seen in its adverbial form as "nattily," as in "he is nattily dressed."
If you prefer, it can be used to refer to a beer popular with college students, or, TIL, a Thai singer based out of South Korea. What it is not is a national championship.
October 10th, 2023 at 8:04 PM ^
Hey fam, low key McCarthy gon' score 4 tuddies to win the natty no cap ong
October 10th, 2023 at 8:16 PM ^
Four generations of my family just cringed at whatever you wrote.
October 10th, 2023 at 9:41 PM ^
4 reel
October 10th, 2023 at 8:26 PM ^
There is so much to love in what you wrote, I can't pick.
October 10th, 2023 at 9:10 PM ^
How about this Natty?
October 10th, 2023 at 9:39 PM ^
We're shooting for the natty, chief
October 10th, 2023 at 9:56 PM ^
Too good to be a flashy media product? The team is too good for the individuals to get personal recognition? Hard pass. To the extent that’s accurate, it’s an indictment of the media and trophies. I didn’t make it past the first few remarks.
“Nice” is too complimentary for this sentiment. “Insipid” is more apropos.
October 10th, 2023 at 10:19 PM ^
If you had made it about 40 more seconds he basically called JJ the best QB in the country but okay.
October 11th, 2023 at 12:08 AM ^
the original comment is correct. this is some insipid shit. don’t need to watch the whole thing to know that.
October 11th, 2023 at 10:54 AM ^
In other news, the sky is blue.
Grifters usually include some extremely low-hanging fruit, feel-good stuff in their messaging to increase your acceptance of their scammy product. Don’t give them a foothold!

I really think Harbaugh and this entire coaching staff have been taking the long view this season in terms of rotating players and clock management in order to keep guys healthy. Michigan is currently averaging 59.7 plays per game on offense, whereas Penn State is averaging 80.6. Meanwhile due to their suburb ability to get off the field, Michigan's defense is averaging 52.3 plays per game whereas OSU is averaging 65. In a year where we have so many veterans on both sides of the ball, I'm personally fine with forgoing a few in game reps if it means we get to the hardest part of the season with less wear and tear than our opponents. Let Frames Janklin and company worry about padding their stats and proving their toughness. We have bigger goals.
October 11th, 2023 at 9:11 AM ^
I couldn't have said this better myself. .Especially the second form last sentence.
October 11th, 2023 at 9:54 AM ^
Exactly. Get the 3’s and 4’s game reps as soon as you can. Those 3’s and 4’s are going to be 1’s and 2’s in the near future.
This.. going through the roster, playing a lot of players, is one of the best things Harbaugh and the staff do. It’s great to see.
October 11th, 2023 at 10:56 AM ^
This is the way
