How about some BPOPE?
All we have been talking about is how we are going to lose. Let’s list some reasons for POSITIVE expectations.
1. Frames just got his first road win vs a ranked team. Now it’s Harbaugh’s turn.
2. We beat these guys like a rented mule last year. That has to count for something.
3. Saquon Barkley ain’t walking into that stadium for them.
4. Law of averages says we are looooooooong overdue for an upset win.
5. There’s still hope that we are going to break out the “Lol, JK, you thought that was our real offense?” offense.
What else ya got?
October 15th, 2019 at 5:36 PM ^
thinking it should be the "golden" POPE. GPOPE sounds better.
also we're michigan fans, optimism is forbidden.
October 15th, 2019 at 6:00 PM ^
Oh be optimistic. We are winning!! Mark that shit down, print it, do whatever you want with it. We are winning this fuckin game Saturday. The time for half measures is over. The time for heaving in the huddle is over. The time for worrying about someone’s personal opinions is over. We are getting this fuckin W boys!! AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! ????〽️
October 15th, 2019 at 6:33 PM ^
I agree with you pops. We will be watching this offense play and wonder where the eff this has been all year.. then go back normal and maybe barely beat Maryland
October 15th, 2019 at 6:58 PM ^
sounds like you really want to make a statement.
October 15th, 2019 at 7:46 PM ^
Meaning they play out of there minds with a working offensive game plan for the first time too
October 15th, 2019 at 8:45 PM ^
You guaranteed a win over Notre Dame last year.
October 15th, 2019 at 9:15 PM ^
I can believe that there is another parallel universe out there that has a Michigan team with a functioning offense. If a portal opens to such a universe this Saturday and that offense takes the field I have hope we can win. Till then...it will be heavy doses of bourbon on Saturday
October 15th, 2019 at 10:15 PM ^
You go Shea!
October 15th, 2019 at 10:25 PM ^
Let's get em, Walter White!
October 15th, 2019 at 7:57 PM ^
Too close to GROPE for the PSU game. They have some history with...well you know
October 15th, 2019 at 8:59 PM ^
It's not a pit at all. It's the White Hill of Positive Expectations, the WHOPE.
October 15th, 2019 at 9:06 PM ^
How about the Glorious Light of Positive Expectations, GLOPE?
of course it does kind of sound like a cult...
October 15th, 2019 at 9:36 PM ^
+1 to whole thread, glope is hilarious
October 15th, 2019 at 10:37 PM ^
GPOOPE - Great Pit of Outstanding Positive Expectations
October 16th, 2019 at 9:07 AM ^
There is poop right in the middle of that.
October 15th, 2019 at 5:36 PM ^
Law of averages, or gambler's fallacy?
October 15th, 2019 at 7:15 PM ^
Depends on whether the events are independent.
October 15th, 2019 at 5:37 PM ^
Frames? That's dumb. He's a good coach who's won more at PSU than what Harbaugh can say for his time at Michigan.
October 15th, 2019 at 5:39 PM ^
Yeah, though that did require some fortune. It could be argued that both/either Michigan and/or OSU were better in 2016. But that's not how conference championships are determined.
October 15th, 2019 at 10:31 PM ^
The conferences are so unbalanced it ridiculous. Hopefully, the new commissioner with change it up.
October 15th, 2019 at 11:44 PM ^
I have zero confidence that the new commish will change anything. The B1G is a money making machine right now. Business types will leave that shit alone.
October 15th, 2019 at 5:41 PM ^
Ok? It’s still a nickname.
October 15th, 2019 at 5:41 PM ^
What a weird take. Harbaugh is 4-1 against Frames. Go be a hero someplace else.
October 15th, 2019 at 5:49 PM ^
weird. Let's just pretend that Harbaughs record against franklin is more important than an east division title and BIG title. Throw in a fiesta bowl win if you want. I'm sorry tho that doesn't fit yours and mgoblogs narrative...
October 15th, 2019 at 6:27 PM ^
1. It’s a real bad take because he’s 1-4 against Harbaugh.
2. He was in the BigTen playoff game once in 2016 because of a tie-breaker, after Harbaugh beat him 49-10.
3. What’s most weird is that you’re trying to be a hero over something as silly as a board nickname.
just stop reading/replying to your bad replies/press. It’s not going to payoff for you.
October 15th, 2019 at 6:49 PM ^
Hero? Why are you so infatuated over me being a hero. I don't give a shit about board takes or being a hero. I'm stating a fact that he has a title and Harbaugh doesn't. That at least is more important in my book than a head to head record. I'm also simply stating that most people on this board don't think he's a good coach which is why I pointed that out, hence the nickname. What's really weird is that you keep circling back to his record against Harbaugh and drawing conclusions as if I said I would take franklin over Harbaugh. If you think franklin is a bad coach, what do you think of Harbaugh then? Garbage?
October 15th, 2019 at 6:58 PM ^
Ron Turner won a Big Ten title and Nick Saban didn't.
So I guess that means Turner > Saban
October 15th, 2019 at 7:00 PM ^
You were way out of line.
Everyone feel free to make fun of opposing coaches. Nothing to see here except a guy who DEMANDS titles.... now.
October 15th, 2019 at 6:37 PM ^
I'm a little confused on the narratives myself
1. "Harbaugh can't beat good teams"
2. "Franklin is a good coach"
Since Franklin has only beaten Michigan once, does that mean he has only had one good team in 5 years?
He might not be a very good coach then.
October 15th, 2019 at 6:39 PM ^
It's not just that Harbaugh has a 3-1 record against him. Harbaugh has pounded him three times. Also, in the 6 years Franklin has been at PSU, he has beaten Michigan, Michigan State, and Ohio State a total of three times. He had that magical 2016 season with the best RB and the best OC in the country, and has otherwise been pretty meh.
October 15th, 2019 at 7:31 PM ^
Harbaugh is 3-1 against him while at Michigan. Did they face off before that?
Hoke was 1-0.
October 16th, 2019 at 9:42 AM ^
We appropriated that win and gave it to Harbaugh.
October 15th, 2019 at 5:42 PM ^
He is 1-4 against Michigan, whom I hear is terrible.
October 15th, 2019 at 5:56 PM ^
Added to the Troll Cave
October 15th, 2019 at 10:44 PM ^
One of the original inductees by many earlier today.
October 15th, 2019 at 6:41 PM ^
Uh... the dude lost to Brady Hoke
October 15th, 2019 at 7:51 PM ^
Yes he did. In the ugliest game ever. They should have dimmed the lights for that one.
October 15th, 2019 at 8:04 PM ^
Now I would buy a “Dim The Lights” t-shirt.
October 15th, 2019 at 8:49 PM ^
The "lights" t-shirt is sweat activated. Before one's workout the lights are on. When one drenches the shirt in sweat, the lights are dimmed.
October 15th, 2019 at 6:42 PM ^
This is an odd hill to die on...
October 15th, 2019 at 6:56 PM ^
YOUR POST HAS ONE POINT:
Frames won a Big Title the year Michigan thumped them 49-10.
That's what you are trying to say, right?
You demand excellence, right?!?!?!
Of course, Frames has not "won more at PSU than what Harbaugh can say for his time at Michigan." Harbaugh has more wins over the same period of time and the better win percentage.
Also, Harbaugh has routinely "outcoached" Franklin by beating his teams on the field.
Finally, all this crap is irrelevant to a funny nickname.
But... you got the chance...
The chance to complain about no B10 titles from Harbaugh yet!!!!
I bet you can find a way to bring that up in every post.
You sound crazy.
October 15th, 2019 at 10:05 PM ^
He's not a Michigan fan. He's a troll from another team.
October 15th, 2019 at 7:09 PM ^
Dumb?
The man’s name is Frames Janklin. It is completely normal to call somebody by their name.
October 15th, 2019 at 8:04 PM ^
I thought his real name is Field G. Franklin.
October 15th, 2019 at 9:15 PM ^
Sadderfield G. Franklin
FIFY
October 16th, 2019 at 9:16 AM ^
He's no Rich Franklin, i'll say that much
October 16th, 2019 at 10:03 AM ^
Can someone explain to him why he is Frames? Some of the crazy coaching decisions he has made in the games against Michigan- it's pretty funny actually. Frames is usually Frames in the Big House- the only time he was not Frames was against us at home with Barkley. No Barkley this time, only a night game white out. Please be Frames on Saturday night. Also- hope that Corso picks Penn St. He curses us when he picks us.
Go Blue!
October 16th, 2019 at 5:25 PM ^
Objectively not true. Franklin's win percentage at PSU is .708; Harbaugh's at Michigan is .741. Franklin is 1-3 v. Harbaugh and 1-4 against Michigan in total. Franklin's teams have struggled mightily against ranked teams on the road. He lucked into a B1G championship in 2016 (I'm Ok with that because it stopped OSU from winning it.)
I'm not saying he isn't a good coach but he has NOT accomplished more than Coach Harbaugh.
October 15th, 2019 at 5:37 PM ^
I think BPONE is somewhat misnamed in the first place. The kind of disappointment and anger you see in here is the result of betrayed positive expectations, not negative ones.
