September 10th, 2018 at 3:41 PM ^
A broken clock is right twice per day, too.
September 10th, 2018 at 3:42 PM ^
So, is "jamesjosephharbaugh" another of Mineral King's aliases?
Seriously, that guy gets too much attention.
September 10th, 2018 at 3:53 PM ^
nope, not MK or 1984. just another mgoguy enjoying watching the drama unfold.
September 10th, 2018 at 5:16 PM ^
Right
September 10th, 2018 at 10:46 PM ^
I've been giving you some leeway to date because I was 5% thinking you were actually one of Coach's bone fide kids.
September 10th, 2018 at 3:42 PM ^
Nevermind.
I didn't mean anything negative in this post but it was not well thought out.
September 10th, 2018 at 3:47 PM ^
He could have transferred and sat out a year, or stayed a year and grad transferred next with the same amount of eligibility remaining. He did the right thing.
September 10th, 2018 at 3:43 PM ^
Must be hard to juggle so many multiple accounts.
September 10th, 2018 at 3:46 PM ^
I think he messed up.
I thought this was Michiganfan1984? obsession
September 10th, 2018 at 3:54 PM ^
see above, this is my only account, but i've enjoyed watching the MK drama
September 10th, 2018 at 4:05 PM ^
Commenting after every comment sure reminds me of someone. You know what you call someone who enjoys someone trolling or as you say drama?
September 10th, 2018 at 7:21 PM ^
You think too much Aspyr. People don't put so much of their life into this place as you think they are.
September 10th, 2018 at 8:32 PM ^
Well, we can surmise now that you and jamesjosephharbaugh are also the same person.
So how many total accounts is that?
September 10th, 2018 at 8:43 PM ^
Ummm, i just don't know where to go with this.
Have a nice night.
September 11th, 2018 at 4:15 AM ^
You could go with one account, or back to 11liarz, or Rcmb... It's up to you...
September 10th, 2018 at 3:45 PM ^
UMBig11 is a guy who gets his insider information from a Facebook group. Surprising how much cred he is given amongst the fan base.
September 10th, 2018 at 3:47 PM ^
How would one get into this Facebook group? Asking for a friend.
also, I think UMBIG11 has proved many of times that he has a direct link to the program and that he's not just parsing info from social media.
September 10th, 2018 at 3:55 PM ^
I don't know exactly which group it is, but I have heard it referenced before and "applied" to a couple that denied (or ignored me).
September 10th, 2018 at 4:13 PM ^
I'm in several Facebook groups, most of which have members that are player parents along with others with close connections to the program. 99% of it is, um, not exactly mgoblog-level material or analysis, if you get what I mean, but occasionally the parents will post things that aren't public knowledge.
September 10th, 2018 at 5:12 PM ^
He could still be getting his info from an insider who participates in the FB group. Either way, hes usually correct.
September 10th, 2018 at 7:24 PM ^
But, it looks like he was wrong about Dylan McCaffrey.
September 10th, 2018 at 7:51 PM ^
The depth chart is fluid. Harbaugh is pushing both of them. I would venture a guess that this won’t be the last change.
September 10th, 2018 at 7:56 PM ^
Well maybe. But was all saw Peters last year. What we've seen of McCaffrey already looks better than what we saw of Peters. If you're building for the future you should probably stay with McCaffrey. And I like Brandon Peters. I think he should graduate early and grad transfer in January. I will watch his career where ever he ends up.
I hope he ends up with Paul Chryst at Wisconsin.
September 10th, 2018 at 8:29 PM ^
Would he be granted that? Or do the new rules negate Harbaugh or any coach from contesting the request of any player?
September 10th, 2018 at 8:44 PM ^
If he grad transfers I think he can go anywhere.
September 10th, 2018 at 9:09 PM ^
No offense (no pun intended), but I wouldn’t worry about playing against Brandon Peters. Unless our coaching and OLine are absolutely abysmal, he isn’t going to be anything other than a game manager.
September 10th, 2018 at 10:09 PM ^
Um, you, um, suck.
September 10th, 2018 at 10:09 PM ^
Um, you, um, suck.
September 10th, 2018 at 8:03 PM ^
Pizza Rolls are ready, MK!
September 10th, 2018 at 3:59 PM ^
UMBig11 draws a lot of water in this town. You don't draw shit MacaroniParty.
September 10th, 2018 at 4:04 PM ^
Might not be able to draw shit but sure is writing a load of it.
September 10th, 2018 at 4:12 PM ^
Absurd.
September 10th, 2018 at 8:18 PM ^
You think umbig's got street cred with the Michigan fanbase? Clearly we haven't met.
September 10th, 2018 at 3:47 PM ^
He was promoted to #2 when Peters got hurt and I heard multiple rumblings that Peters was sick in the week leading up to the game. Haven't seen the Harbaugh presser transcript yet, maybe it is more clear than the one statement. I'd say if Dylan comes in as #2 against SMU it's probably a solid bet he's #2 for the rest of the year.
September 10th, 2018 at 3:49 PM ^
McCaffrey has played in both games and came in before Peters against WMU. He's definitely already the #2 QB at this point.
September 10th, 2018 at 3:47 PM ^
If he was #2 week 1 because of an injury to Peters that week, and kept the spot this week due to a good week of practice, wouldn't that imply that you, er Mineral King, were wrong in stating that he was #2 during camp/heading into the season?
September 10th, 2018 at 3:51 PM ^
Or he was #2 all along and Harbaugh just wasn't publicizing it for gamesmanship reasons.
September 10th, 2018 at 3:58 PM ^
Who could Harbaugh have been gaming and to what possible benefit?
I believe the most common sense answer is that Peters was #2 in camp and got hurt. McCaffrey came in, looked good and when Peters got sick McCaffrey continued to look good and is now the #2 until such time that Peters can overtake him.
No need to have a tinfoil hat over the backup qb situation.
September 10th, 2018 at 4:00 PM ^
Yep, that would align with what we've seen and what Harbaugh has said.
Occam's razor
September 10th, 2018 at 5:56 PM ^
McCaffery has looked very smooth in the offense in what little time he has played. He shows accuracy, pocket awareness, and an ability to move the chains with his feet.
This is good.
September 10th, 2018 at 4:24 PM ^
There is only one reason to believe Harbaugh “gamed” a depth chart that he didn’t even release publicly - if you are obsessed with defending someone’s internet message board reputation. Otherwise it’s nonsense.
September 10th, 2018 at 8:06 PM ^
This is Jim Harbaugh, would you really be surprised if he told everyone Peters was #2 but it was actually DMac? I agree to a normal person this sounds ridiculous but I’ll repeat again This is Jim Harbaugh in question.
September 11th, 2018 at 8:09 AM ^
There is also zero to be gained by deceiving other teams about your clear #2 QB. Nobody wastes time preparing for the backup, and we're not going to run different offenses with Peters and McCaffrey in any event.
September 10th, 2018 at 5:13 PM ^
But who does #2 work for?
September 10th, 2018 at 6:44 PM ^
Who is #1 ?!?
September 11th, 2018 at 5:51 AM ^
You are number 6!
September 10th, 2018 at 3:54 PM ^
This. Also we don't know if Dmac (DCaf sounds dumb) was moved up to #2 because Peters fell behind due to injury. When the team is installing a game plan, not having reps would put Peters at a significant disadvantage in preparation. Given that there does not seem to be a huge edge between the two right now I would think that any slight advantage could change who is #2 on the depth chart.
As for everyone writing off Peters at the moment, Dylan has not shown that he is the surefire successor to Patterson. I think he does end up starting over Peters, but Peters can win that job if he works hard. The length of the battle for the #2 spot will be determined by the competitive fire that Dylan and Brandon show in addition to their talent.
September 10th, 2018 at 3:59 PM ^
DCaf is part of Dylan's twitter handle, so tell him it sounds dumb
