THE USUAL LINKS

Is that’s what happening to Michigan State? That Tom Izzo is one-tenth of the humans they interact with?

Imagining Brian’s face as everyone else insisted on continuing to talk about football in the first segment is a tremendous source of amusement

I feel for Brian. An all too common sight is Michigan fans logging on to a thread about Basketball and turning the conversation into football. Every single time. We've had one of the best programs in the country over the past 8 years, and all some people want to talk about is that depressing shitheap. 

It's very disappointing as a basketball fan. Like, I paid my dues as a student, I went to your stupid football games, witnessed RR and Hoke get hammered, what else do you want from me? There's one thing I'm enjoying in the current hellscape we're living in and there's no one around me to discuss it with, the only recourse being the internet where I have to read hottakes about some Don Brown bullshit just to converse basketball. Get that football shit out of my face.

haha, i was cracking up.  And you cant blame him one bit...im usually listening-in very intently when they talk foozball, after I heard what they were talking about i zipped right on by that segment. 

I feel like that is the sentiment for most on this board right now with that program.  A soggy wet blanket of a topic

Brian & Harbaugh coached football team on the podcast  - "only watch because I have to"

It's like Trump talking about rigged elections and then republicans don't vote in Georgia

That'll increase site traffic and revenues

Quite amusing this week. First Ross acting like this is the first time an assistant coach from an underachieving team unfairly took the blame, then Brian smacking down the 6th iteration of wait till next year. I don't think it was meant to be funny but whatever.

I don't get why everyone is so upset.

Harbaugh was the "Michigan Man" everyone wanted for ages, he came and returned Michigan football back to par, which is 9-3 with a loss to Ohio State and a bowl loss (9-4). 

I agree he is overpaid, but his pay would never be an issue if Ohio State wasn't annihilating Michigan by double-digits every year, 0-5.

Michigan has recruited well, except when you compare it to Ohio State.

How do you fix that? We already know the answer, but nobody likes it and all the "hey, that's not right!"  

And damn straight Harbaugh doesn't even want to be there anymore.  Would you?
