Sam Webb Postgame

Submitted by smotheringD on January 9th, 2024 at 4:40 AM

A little long but strong analysis and a great passionate rant at the end:

  • Never seen a tighter team - Brotherhood
  • Silencing the naysayers
  • Michigan showed Washington a level of Defense and Physicality that they had never seen
  • The Don - dealing with frustration, never letting it affect the team, a home run hitter
  • Michigan's commitment to run
  • Michigan's Defense
    • Minter is elite, the best DC in the country
    • Made Penix uncomfortable through pressure, moving him off his spot, hitting him in the mouth, varying & disguising coverages, and taking away fade routes, all of which led to him becoming inaccurate, missing wide-open receivers (on coverage busts), and throwing picks
    • Mikey Sainristil, Will Johnson - studs
  • Blake Corum - what a legacy
  • JJ McCarthy
    • Only lost 2 games as a starterGreat leader
    • Great leader
      • He was the reason many good players committed to UM in '20
      • Played through injury
      • Didn't complain when we ran 32 straight times - team first
  • Coach Jim Harbaugh
    • How he turned it around
    • 50/50 he comes back
    • He accomplished what he set out to do, restore UM Football to its former glory

From the beginning, 42 min, 21 obviously on 2x speed:

I’ve gotten 4 hrs sleep and just rewatched the game. Much like a celebratory cigar, I drank a Stella that’s been in my fridge since Georgia boat raced us. It’s been a symbol in my house that I never thought I’d open. It tasted like drinking bong water, yet was the best beer I’ve ever had. I’m Tired, hungover and yet never felt better in my life.

The bullet points are great. Silencing the naysayers really hits it. The naysayers now have all offseason to stew over this Michigan accomplishment.

Absolutely  love his closing statements. What a great piece. I'm with Sam: if Jim decides to leave you pat him on the back, thank him for all he's done and make the right hire to carry on what he has built. Is it Sherrone Moore? Jesse Minter? I really don't know, but I know this: whioever it is better make sure Warde will empty his pockets to keep the rest of this staff together. Losing Minter, Moore or any of the assistants would be bad and they deserve to be the highest paid at their positions in the country after proving they're the best at what they do. A side note is I'd go out and rehire CP as well. Sad he took any of the heat for what that fool Stalions did.

Newkirk is so uncomfortable in all these postgames. I get needing to move things along but he's so awkward about it. Not an on camera personality. You could tell Sam was getting annoyed by the end with his wet blanket energy. It's a frickin national championship. Let Sam cook!
