So far he has only beat teams that are somewhere from Avearge to completely suck. He lost to both rivals, one by 4 touchdowns (OSU), then he acted like a pussy postgame and didn't rep. UM like the head coach he is being paid to be. This year has a great roster, if UM doesn't win the Big10 then it will be certain that he is a overpaid loser faking it. I'm guessing that he is a soon to be exposed fraud. He isn't even the best coach in his family, he sure as hell hasn't shown that he is anywhere even close to Dantonio. And he is light years behind the best coaches like Urban Meyer and Nick Saban, he is not even close the them, as Urban showed all of us during his 42-13 ass rape of Harbaugh in his own house with his family watching. So far he hasn't shown he is any better than Hoke, except at bringing negative attention to the Michigan brand.

Don't say ass rape. One day you may be a father and understand that rape is something you don't joke about. Secondly, everyone agrees college coaches are paid too much. Thirdly, the guy has won everywhere he's gone, you truly think he'll forget to coach? Fourthly, how are you not blocked for being ignorant and a woman hater?

you weren't replying to me. Looks like truthbtold has struck again. Although I did appreciate the reminder to not say ass rape. That's just sound advice for any circumstance.

Somebody (LSA? Brian? I forget) explained in a post recently that he's been shadowbanned, meaning his account is blocked from appearing on the website but not actually deleted.  Because of technical reasons I lack the knowledge to explain, he shows up on the app still.  They did it this way instead of outright banning him because it limits his ability to just make a new account and start harassing everyone on the website.  Not a perfect solution and results in occasionally amusing non-sequiter responses, but the general consensus was that it was the best solution.

Not that I care a ton (dont use mobile all that often and some of these phantom posts are downright hilarious), but that does still give them the ability to upvote/downvote and potentially create new content - correct? For example sean ornery downvotes every single positive thread about Michigan. Damn trolls

just a horrible term with horrible imagery.

After the Sandusky fiasco at PSU, this should probably not be a term thrown around at all.

I also recently saw the movie "Spotlight" which makes such a term even more cringe worthy.

I think the term ass-kicking gets the point across for beat down without being overly offensive.

First rape is exactly what happened to your boy Harbaugh when Urban came to town with his boys. You may not like the word, and for some reason you seem to think that woman have copyrights on it. They don't It happened to your boy and there were over 100k witnesses. So no denying it. Secondly just because I rip on you boy Harbaugh doesn't mean I hate women, tho I find your math entertaining. You fuckin idiot . Now go do something useful and suck somebody's dick.

He is easily worth $ 20 million or more. I don't think that's an exaggeration at all.

An ex-Michigan cheerleader has his own TV show, comes back to Michigan, does a pretty entertianing piece, shows that he still has cheerleading/tumbling chops, even does 60 push ups, and yoiu find a reason to complain?  That takes a lot of dedication to the art of complaint...

and former male cheerleader, is also the personal tour guide for the city of Detroit on 'Anthony Bourdain's : Parts Unknown'.   Check out the show on Netflix if you have it...very interesting! Look through past episodes to find Detroit.

It was brutal. Is Detroit really that bad? They made it look like a war-torn third world country. I also recently saw him go to Chicago. That wasn't much better. But the food is great!

I've spent a lot of time in Detroit as well, very little of it in the areas you've listed.  It can get rough to be sure, and there are neighborhoods that are even worse than the ones I worked in.  I agree with you that there are a lot of neighborhoods that need a lot of help, but to say its like Syria goes beyond hyperboyle.  It's comments like yours that make people who've never been there avoid it because they can say "well even people who say they spend time there call it a literal warzone".

Jack and Jill suburbia are not safe in the vast majority of the city. And really, outside of downtown and Eastern Market, there's nothing they need to get from the city that can't be found in much safer places. Sure, it's not as bad as a literal war zone. But I'm not advising anyone to take a walk around City Airport at night. Or during the day for that matter.

I think it feels more like the zombie apocalypse at times.  I turned down the wrong street a few weeks back, and it was nothing but blown out abandoned buildings/homes, and somehow in 3 blocks there was only 1 home that had any sign of life, and it sat next to multiple empty lots.  I actually saw a person, and they were walking down the middle of the street.  There were sidewalks, but since this neighborhood already went through the apocalypse, might as well just walk right down the middle of the street.  No way any cars would go there, so why waste time actually heading over to the sidewalk.

Actually....I would say it resembles Bosnia.  I was deployed to Tuzla and some other areas in the mid-late 90's.  We would drive through some villages and half of the house would be missing and you would see a family still living in there.  You see the same wrecked/open houses in Detroit.  In Bosnia, a tank shell ripped it open....in Detroit, it was the slow decay of blight, poverty and indifference.

Harbaugh is paid like he is for three reasons: 1. The market is already set, and he was in demand. 2. Our offer was to "show him the love" as it were. 3. He didn't want more. Harbaugh has proven that he always has the organization's needs in mind at all times. He didn't fleece any of his previous employers and he isn't fleecing us. I'd rather overpay him for being here than wish we had made a higher offer...
