American Samoa camp canceled over Zika concerns
I was dissapointed to see that the American Samoa camp is canceled. I don't blame Jim for being careful with Zika concerns especially now that his wife is pregnant though.
If the SEC thinks he has an edge now . . .
Jim might loose his enthusiasm unknown to mankind if he couldn't "get under center" with Sarah for the next 6 months!
This is the one camp I was most excited about--building the polynesian pipeline.
Damn mosquitoes (and associated viri).

It never is!
There are a number of articles linking the expansion of the Zika virus to climate change. This is the first time Michigan football meets up with a changing, i.e., warming Earth.
Enjoy college football while you can, everybody. In ten or fifteen years from now, when there is a full fledged acknowledgement regarding the threats behind global warming and climate change, the idea of having a satellite camp in American Samoa is going to seem rather absurd.
It wouldn't surprise me that Michigan's final home-and-home series with a team well outside the state's boundaries will be the one with Texas in Austin to open the 2027 season. After that, we can probably look forward to annual games with Notre Dame (less travel, smaller carbon footprint) and perhaps a half dozen more with teams that have short travelling distances either in the Big Ten (Ohio State, Michigan State, Indiana, Purdue) or outside it (those teams in the MAC still playing football). Conferences will be realigning to become smaller, there'll be fewer games, perhaps no or not many athletic scholarships and no bowl games (which puts the national championship back to a popular vote--wooh, wooh!!!).
I suppose if he stick around long enough, Jim Harbaugh could be Michigan's last coach. He'd be in his late 60s by the end of the next decade, so I guess it's possible he'll be the one that'll close the doors and turn out the lights for the final time prior to Schembechler Hall getting shut down and mothballed.
seems like a tad bit of an overreaction.

true. I have learned that, in this day and age, something is either not a problem AT ALL and you are a fool if you think so or is clearly THE BIGGEST PROBLEM ever that will kill us all and cannot be solved. it is either one or the other and there is no in between.
i can't even come close to reading this.
Well we know of at least one person who is doing the day time drinking thing again.
Again? More like still.
Aaaaand now I have something to do for the rest of the night.
Thanks.

Lulz ok. If football is gonna be shutdown in the next 15 years, its not going to be because of global warming. It will be because of the continued concern over concussions and the long term affects of those.
You might want to reign it in, sir.

...and you might want to consult Science.

I think you need to look at it this way - one theory estimates that by the 2050s or thereabouts, the Lake Erie basin, which includes southeastern Michigan, will possibly have a climate profile similar to, say, the St. Louis area, so it is entirely possible that - if that holds - the SEC might finally start playing up here en masse in the OOC schedule. If that were to hold, just think - it only took a regional climate shift for those chickenshits to do it too.
Someone has been hitting the Zima pretty hard.
their anti-psychotics

To be fair, it IS the first time that human beings have caused it.
And it IS proceeding at the fastest rate in recorded history.
So there's that...
That's not really fair to Zima.

You must be real fun at parties!

EDIT: this is supposed to be about a dozen posts up-thread, in response to the guy who says football is ending real soon. thanks drupal!

There is something like 32 players from Somoa scattered across NFL rosters.
I know it was just a "joke" but that shit is not funny. What is happening with those babies is really, really tragic.

For making a joke about deformed babies.
My favorite part is that this came from the oracle.
