Drinkwitz will not stop harping on Michigan
“If we’re gonna really have hard conversations, let me ask you this. If a team in the playoff has a star player get injured, are they gonna be removed from the playoff and then we put Florida State back in?” Eli Drinkwitz said on SiriusXM College. “That, to me, was complete nonsensical rationalization. I know I’m an SEC guy, but that one bothered me a whole lot.
“And to not factor in, maybe, a team having an unfair advantage in some of their games, it just seemed like, to me, we were picking and choosing what lens we were gonna look through.”
I know a lot of you believed he was taking a shot at Ohio State with his "joke" on the selection show and not Michigan, but he sure does seem to have a lot to say about Michigan this year.
This was his comment on Ryan Day:
“I think he’s a tremendous football coach,” he said. “I have followed his career. I have a lot of respect for the way he’s gone about his business, working out from Boston College, from the NFL having opportunities there to being the offensive coordinator at Ohio State. I think one of the elite coaches in college football. He does a tremendous job offensively. He’s one of those teams that I like to watch and see what they’re doing because I know they’re always on the cutting edge. And I have a tremendous amount of respect for the person that he is as well as the football coach.”

I'm still rooting for him to beat OSU...
December 7th, 2023 at 10:29 PM ^
No doubt. I would like us to give him OSU's signs.
December 8th, 2023 at 4:45 AM ^
Why wouldn’t we. I’m sure Ryan Day overnighted ours to Saban. The big difference is Saban will let his team speak for themselves when the balls kicked, Day tried hamstringing us a month before. Fuck anyone who wants to use the sign BS. Like Sanders said. You could have our whole playbook, but you still gotta stop it. Just as we knew McCord was gonna pass to MHJ the last drive, we stopped it.
December 8th, 2023 at 8:28 AM ^

This is essentially the case in every sport! Gibson’s famous HR? He knew what pitch was coming on that count. NBA with 5 seconds left? Everyone knows who’s getting the ball. “Just try and stop me”
December 7th, 2023 at 10:38 PM ^
M-I-Z . . .
Beat Bama!
December 7th, 2023 at 11:10 PM ^
I wish they could both lose.
December 8th, 2023 at 10:01 AM ^
Sadly, they will likely get donkey punched by OSU. That they are #9 is a joke being they beat absolutely no one. Their best win is 4-loss Tennesee at home..Their resume is thinner than PSU and almost as bad as Iowa
December 8th, 2023 at 10:16 AM ^
You sure about that? Who's playing QB for OSU? The line swung something like 7.5 points after 14 players entered the portal, turning OSU from almost a TD favorite to a slight underdog. To be fair, most of that happened when McCord entered.
December 8th, 2023 at 11:16 AM ^
I could see them beating OSU. This game probably matters far more to them, and they probably won't have as many players sitting out. Does OSU even know who will be playing QB?
December 9th, 2023 at 7:49 AM ^
I’m sure it’ll be Devin Brown. Somehow he lost the qb battle to McCord but is the more athletic of the two. How McCord was a 5 star recruit is beyond me? Did the scouts ignore his piss poor mechanics, lack of being able to scramble even a little? JJ may have had a rough last month of the season, but thank goodness we didn’t have to face him in a buckeye uniform.
December 7th, 2023 at 10:24 PM ^
I have no idea who that is, and I'm not inclined to think that should change.
December 8th, 2023 at 6:41 AM ^
Ha yea, I came here to say the same thing. Imagine if we dug up every negative comment someone made about Michigan, this board would be a mess.
December 8th, 2023 at 7:05 AM ^
Seriously. So stupid! Why bother posting this shit?
December 7th, 2023 at 10:24 PM ^
What does it matter what the Missouri coach thinks about Michigan? Really, I don't get why you're so worked up about this.
December 7th, 2023 at 10:26 PM ^
You seem equally worked up about my pointing it out.
Anyway, in the last thread, my only point was he was taking a shot at Michigan (even if poorly done) and not OSU, while a lot of people insisted otherwise. That's still my only point.
So my beef is with other posters on the board, not Drinkwitz. As for why I'm posting about it on the board now, well, I was done reading about Ja'Corey Brooks in the portal, I guess.
December 7th, 2023 at 10:30 PM ^
So my beef is with other posters on the board, not Drinkwitz.
I'm sorry, but this is just a weird hill to die on.
When you're reaching the point where you're arguing with a bunch of posters over what the Missouri coach said in a presser ... maybe you should take a little MGoBreak.
December 7th, 2023 at 10:36 PM ^
I appreciate your feedback.
December 8th, 2023 at 12:18 AM ^
His previous comment was a joke, not a shot a Michigan.
His first comment in this thread is a shot at the BS playoff committee and I like it.
Drinkwicz is a good dude. Not sure why you think he has something against michigan.
For the last one, he has no beef with Day and he’s not going to give Ohio any ammunition either.
Move on
December 8th, 2023 at 8:16 AM ^
"Not sure why you think he has something against Michigan."
Who do you think he was referring to with this statement—Eastern Michigan?
“And to not factor in, maybe, a team having an unfair advantage in some of their games, it just seemed like, to me, we were picking and choosing what lens we were gonna look through.”
This statement is a disingenuous swipe at Michigan; Drinkwitz knows damn well that whatever information Stalion obtained from his rando pals recording games was of limited benefit, compared to all the information that's obtained via NCAA-approved methods, but he's going to parrot the narrative pushed by ESPN and its shit-flinging fellow-travelers in the media that Michigan engaged in hugely important skullduggery.
December 8th, 2023 at 8:29 AM ^
I fully agree with you Don. When all of this first broke he was one of the ones taking shots at Michigan during his interviews. None of them were outright aggressive and were framed as jokes but he definitely seems like someone that thinks this is the 'worst thing ever' considering how many jokes and comments he's made about it.
December 8th, 2023 at 12:48 PM ^
See it how you want to. He’s taking shots at the stupid lack of headsets. The Michigan thing is sarcasm. He knows Harbaugh well enough to know he’d want headsets.
Let’s not become thin skinned Michigan fans that can’t take a joke.
December 8th, 2023 at 8:26 AM ^
Yup. He was just trying to butter up the opposing coach, as many coaches are wont to do.
December 8th, 2023 at 12:43 AM ^
Your point is based on your interpretation of what he is saying. You are welcome to that interpretation, but please leave my interpretations alone.
December 7th, 2023 at 10:27 PM ^
He’s trying to steal our block M logo.
December 7th, 2023 at 10:28 PM ^
I still think we should sue them.
December 7th, 2023 at 10:31 PM ^
We should schedule a non-con with delaware every year.
December 7th, 2023 at 10:56 PM ^
And miss the playoffs with FSU???
December 7th, 2023 at 10:24 PM ^
He is probably lobbying to be Ohio State’s coach if Ryan Day leaves or gets canned.
Actually not a bad strategy. He would get a huge pay raise and get to coach a bunch of 5 ⭐️ players.
December 7th, 2023 at 10:25 PM ^
Honestly, who is this wanker anyway?
December 7th, 2023 at 10:26 PM ^
The alpha nerd. Cover 3 listeners will get that reference.
December 8th, 2023 at 6:15 AM ^
Drinkwitz reminds me of someone who was just let into a club and doesn't have a clue on how to behave. He watches other and pretends to belong by parroting things that others are saying. He is, in short, a punk.
December 8th, 2023 at 8:15 AM ^
Are you sure you're not talking about 3B Day?
December 7th, 2023 at 10:27 PM ^
The school going into the missionary position on this situation means that everybody gets to take their shots at us. I'm sure there's some moral superiority "National Champions of Life" thing that we're going to promote in the meantime, so I'm just gonna let it roll of my back.
December 7th, 2023 at 11:03 PM ^
We've gone into the missionary position, eh? Good for us. Stuff rolling off our back shouldn't be a problem...unless we're on the bottom.
December 7th, 2023 at 11:45 PM ^
They hate us cuz they ain't us.
Also, anyone with that much admiration for Ryan Fucking Day doesn't really move the needle in my book.
December 7th, 2023 at 10:29 PM ^
What doesn’t he just go ahead and suck Ryan Day’s right now? Just do it. nttawwt
December 7th, 2023 at 10:33 PM ^
Ryan Day’s what?
December 7th, 2023 at 10:37 PM ^
His vagina presumably.
December 7th, 2023 at 10:31 PM ^
Cool. Hook em.
December 7th, 2023 at 10:32 PM ^
Drinkwitz? This dude got made fun of so much in middle school.
December 8th, 2023 at 2:18 AM ^
But was a hero in college if an alcoholic
December 7th, 2023 at 10:35 PM ^
Sounds an awful lot like he can go fuck himself.
December 7th, 2023 at 11:21 PM ^
Keith Moon!
December 7th, 2023 at 11:44 PM ^
December 7th, 2023 at 10:49 PM ^
Stop Drinkwitzing and go to bed.
December 7th, 2023 at 10:50 PM ^
Well then why don’t you marry him already
