Excellent lecture from Dr. Devin re: Harbaugh and JJ getting to this point (MMQB)

Submitted by MMBbones on December 5th, 2022 at 12:02 PM

Devin has a great soliloquy about JJ having to deal with having Cade in front of him going into the spring. He talks about how Harbaugh said it was a competition, but as the player playing from behind, you are going to be skeptical of whether or not the competition is real. Great mention of Andrel Anthony as well. Devin describes how both JH and JJ handled everything with utmost class.

I'm starting a movement to give him an honarary doctorate for his ability to exposite all things Michigan.

And here is a better link, I think:

Note to self: Ah! That's what that "t=..." portion of YouTube links does. YouTube hadn't been invented when I was in the CE program at M, so most professors rarely discussed it in detail...

First of all, nobody is mistaking her for a medical doctor, that's not a thing.

Secondly, making a joke at her expense that essentially boils down to "lol she's not a real doctor" is low-brow and insulting. Do YOU have a Ph.D.? It's not easy to get, I speak from personal experience. We shouldn't be minimizing the accomplishment...in fact the word "doctor" is academic, it translates to "scholar" or "one who teaches". She's a literal expert in her field. The label was earned.

But sure LOL she's not a real doctor AMIRITE PEOPLE???

This isn't quite right. It may be pretentious to insist on it in everyday contexts, but you're generally going to invoke it in publications and academic contexts--so that people know you engaged the issues involved in sustained fashion, wrote about it, and were examined by experts in your field about that knowledge. And I know lots of people who get called Doctor by friends who esteem them in their work and social lives, as well as among working class people who know how damned hard it is to obtain such degrees. Usually, you have put in three-plus to seven years obtaining it.

You vastly overestimated the sophistication of your own humor, but that's not the worst part.

You introduced an explicitly partisan political talking point—"har har har that dumb Jill Biden is using Dr. when she didn't go to medical school" is a standard FoxNews jibe—in a thread that has zero to do with politics.

I still find it crazy that Liberty University (founded by Dr. Jerry Falwell) hired the Baylor AD (from the endemic raping period) and Hugh Freeze who hired prostitutes to get recruits.  They sure are good at forgiveness and redeeming people...

If you want the perfect example of how F'd up the priorities are, the rumor is that Auburn didn't consider Deon Sanders for their job because of his personality was too much. So then they go hire the guy who was human trafficking escorts for his recruits, all because he's a good, religious man.
