type in his words as you hear them - then, we can debate whether JUB actually knows something or just has an axe to grind.
someone will also mention that his class is really great.
finally, someone else will make the case for retaining Hoke, because perhaps no coach that is better is available and with good qb play actually the team would be quite good.
November 14th, 2014 at 9:12 AM ^
Then 20 minutes from now we can look forward to a "CC: The A Team" thread.
November 14th, 2014 at 9:20 AM ^
Mr. T: strength and conditioning.
Faceman is the OC, and Murdock the DC (he blitzes like crazy).
I am starting to get behind this idea...
November 14th, 2014 at 9:23 AM ^
Mr. T as Recruiting Coordinator?
November 14th, 2014 at 10:06 AM ^
He would have closed the deal with Terelle Pryor...
November 14th, 2014 at 9:52 AM ^
November 14th, 2014 at 10:10 AM ^
that would hire Mr. T.
November 14th, 2014 at 9:41 AM ^
November 14th, 2014 at 10:41 AM ^
does he look like GERG!
November 14th, 2014 at 9:17 AM ^
November 14th, 2014 at 9:11 AM ^
Where is Sam and Ira? There's two schticky hacks talking to him who can't stop laughing at themselves.
November 14th, 2014 at 9:28 AM ^
You don't even know who Jamie Morris is?
November 14th, 2014 at 9:50 AM ^
I know who he is. I was just extremely disappointed that pros like Sam and Ira weren't there and a potentially informative John Bacon segment was in the hands of hacks like Morris and whoever the other guy is. We're 45 minutes into the segment and we've learned nothing.
November 14th, 2014 at 10:12 AM ^
November 14th, 2014 at 9:23 AM ^
November 14th, 2014 at 9:55 AM ^
you're surfing the internet and typing on this blog while in the meeting????
November 14th, 2014 at 9:56 AM ^
to that man. That's dedication.
November 14th, 2014 at 10:00 AM ^

I was in a 2.5 hour Continuous Improvement workshop yesterday and all the time while me and others were speaking about various tools and problem solving methods and running breakout sessions, the amount of Facebook / e-mail time logged had to be a near-record for the building. I swear someone in the back was balancing their checkbook while making it appear as though they were reading all the handouts too.
November 14th, 2014 at 11:11 AM ^
Send out a power point, at least you aren't wasting a room worth of peoples time and it is much more easily ignored. You should start a improvement group to research this. It will only take 4 black belts, two brown belts and 5 stake owners.

Can't believe how many businesses there are that make money telling other businesses how to operate.
November 14th, 2014 at 10:01 AM ^
I'd say this is an acceptable alternative!
November 14th, 2014 at 11:29 AM ^
but that would be impressive.
November 14th, 2014 at 11:52 AM ^
Spicoli spending all his reward money on Van Halen playing his birthday party is up there with "Senator and Mrs. John Blutarsky" at the very top of where are they now movie endings.
Oh and Three and Out and CC: and what if we beat OSU and stuff.
November 14th, 2014 at 9:23 AM ^
It's one thing to talk about it but announcing on twitter in advance that you'll be talking about it for 10 specific minutes may be bordering on the ridiculous. Does he really have anything new to say?
November 14th, 2014 at 9:32 AM ^
November 14th, 2014 at 9:37 AM ^
He's just trying to generate listeners and possible call ins for the show. If I were local and following him I would tune in. Even it's a rehash of some sorts he'll probably offer up a new perspective to give this old dish a better taste.
November 14th, 2014 at 1:44 PM ^
I'm not local, but saw the Tweet and listened. It surely beat anything local here (Indianapolis).
November 14th, 2014 at 9:27 AM ^
Time to settle in with my beverage of choice and wait for the deluge.
November 14th, 2014 at 9:33 AM ^
That's honestly mind-blowing. From the Caesar part, to the double-mention of bacon, to Mott's of all companies being behind this, to what the hell "Clamato" is, I have so many questions.

that in America even the void has been violated. And hell, that was the 1970s. Thank god America includes Canada, that's all I can say. Feels a lot less lonely that way.
November 14th, 2014 at 10:10 AM ^
Clamato is a tomato juice, I think reconstituted then boiled with clam broth and a bunch of spices. Personally, I recommend the "spicy" version and vodka it up yourself for the Caesar (the cans are a bit on the light side). They sell a bunch of varieties in pints in the Great White North.
FWIW, if you go to Winnipeg or Calgary you can order it mixed with beer the so-called "Beer and Clam".
November 14th, 2014 at 10:13 AM ^
I honestly think this is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen.
November 14th, 2014 at 10:49 AM ^
while that stuff was a hoax, the below is real:

You shut your dirty mouth. Hubba Bubba soda is delicious. Well, at least it was when I last tried it 20 years ago or so. "An entire soda of bubblegum flavor?!? Sign me up!"
November 14th, 2014 at 10:57 AM ^
Pretty much sums up weekend pursuits for college men worldwide.
November 14th, 2014 at 1:47 PM ^
If enough "Beer" is consumed, it frequently leads to "Clams" that are bearded.
November 14th, 2014 at 1:54 PM ^
Where I live Clamato is kind of a Mexican thing. Many marisocos restaurants in So. California sell "micheladas" which is beer mixed with lime and clamato with salt/cayenne rimmed glass.
My Mexican friends tell me it is a cure for a hangover.
November 14th, 2014 at 2:17 PM ^
i was on a biz trip in mexico and my mex hosts ordered me 1
i was so thirsty from not being able to drink water all day - all I wanted is to order a bottle of water
so I slammed the michealada and they think I love it so they order me another, I drink that one fast as well trying to catch the waitress to order a juice or something, but they keep getting to her before me
long story short, I go thru like 7 of these before I get to a bottle of water
I heaved my guts out that night in a double tree in queratero mexico
November 14th, 2014 at 11:34 AM ^
Jon Oliver did a bit about Clamato juice. He pointed out how much sugar they put in to improve the taste. He asked if they really wanted to improve the taste, why don't they just "REMOVE THE FUCKING CLAMS!!!"
November 14th, 2014 at 9:34 AM ^
1st segment gave us nothing. No inside info or even rumors. Just taking calls and chatting about how Schlissel has to understand that athletics is a big part of Michigan and he needs to come to peace with that.
November 14th, 2014 at 9:42 AM ^
November 14th, 2014 at 9:52 AM ^
It's way too early to know what Schlissel wants and where he'll take Michigan athletics. At the moment, I'm feeling like there's about a 60% chance that he takes it in a positive direction, a 30% chance that nothing comes of it (because he decides this isn't the hill he wants to die on), and a 10% chance that he actually goes too far in a damaging way.
Then again, I'm probably more tolerant than most of integrity at the expense of wins in college football. But I also care about wins and I think that a lot of things that people talk about as integrity issues really aren't (e.g., see Brian's excellent post yesterday).
November 14th, 2014 at 10:02 AM ^
My one particular concern, which I haven't really seen talked about, i sthat for all the lauding of his truth-telling (and more power to him for that), the fact that he had to walk back some of his comments is evidence of a significant gaffe on his part. The man should have taken the time (or had someone on his staff take the time) to figure out what the numbers mean with regard to current programs, not simply look at a five year graduation rate and exclaim 'that's terrible!'. Surely he'd do a little more due diligence in his medical research. Whether he likes it or not, this is part of his job now, and it is incumbent upon him to do these things right. That, obviously, is what he's trying to do here, but reflexive "Sports are bad' statements are no better than 'Winning at all costs'.
I do think that the idea that he won't pursue the best AD or allow that AD to pursue the best coach (in line with U-M's mission) is ridiculous and not really based on anything.

on his every word.
It's a sad day when I start to get sick of John U. Bacon, who has suffered so much and done so much. But we are up to our asses with his sanctimony.
If I had any discipline at all I would stay away from here until after the OSU game.
November 14th, 2014 at 9:52 AM ^
John U is on the radio - and he's talking about "you know what"!

I was looking at your avatar and the photo. Forgive me o my feminist foremothers.
