I’m in! … though I’m in FL so I don’t know how much that helps
September 10th, 2022 at 5:59 PM ^
CA for me but samesies!
September 10th, 2022 at 6:00 PM ^
I agree with this and hope it happens! Plus I don't want him to bolt for ND when JJ is named the starter
September 10th, 2022 at 6:08 PM ^
After watching ND today, they could use him.
That said, we're a better team, brand, and a degree from Michigan is superior to one from ND (that's for you ND lurkers).
September 10th, 2022 at 6:23 PM ^
FWIW, Cade graduated in the spring so he already has his M degree.
September 10th, 2022 at 6:31 PM ^
Point still stands, stay here and get an advanced UM degree or one from ND?
September 11th, 2022 at 1:58 AM ^
I guess that would depend on the specific area the degree covers.
September 11th, 2022 at 3:31 PM ^
He’s a certificate student, not getting an advanced degree
September 10th, 2022 at 8:12 PM ^
Meh. ND is in a bad state. No QB who wants to thrive should go there. Freeman might be out of a job if he loses a few more games and the way they are playing it is very possible.
September 10th, 2022 at 6:01 PM ^
How about a standing ovation for the entire team?
September 10th, 2022 at 6:05 PM ^
Yes - it’s called KICKOFF!
September 10th, 2022 at 6:38 PM ^
If this is like participation trophies, I’d like a standing ovation too.
September 10th, 2022 at 6:45 PM ^
Lol. Not a fan of participation trophys. Do appreciate B1G trophy’s however!
September 10th, 2022 at 6:02 PM ^
What if I’m too drunk to stand?
September 10th, 2022 at 7:59 PM ^
Username fits...
September 10th, 2022 at 6:02 PM ^
This is bad take. And you should feel bad. Did you do a special cheer for JJ when he entered the game last week? What is wrong with you people?
September 10th, 2022 at 6:04 PM ^
Dude - JJ didn’t lost his job like Cade is probably going to. Sit on your hands if you must!
September 10th, 2022 at 6:14 PM ^
Calm down. They are both going to play every game.
September 10th, 2022 at 6:27 PM ^
People keep saying this, but Harbaugh has already said he doesn’t want to do the switching he did last year. So barring injury or a blowout, I don’t think we’ll be seeing much of the backup.
With that in mind, I don’t know how much sense it makes to play both QBs if JJ is the starter. What is Cade going to bring for a series or a random snap that is going to impact the game more than JJ just continuing to play? You can at least argue that JJ’s added running dimension is a nice addition to the offense when he comes in randomly if Cade starts. I just don’t see what the upside is the other way around though.
September 10th, 2022 at 7:25 PM ^
Um…I don’t really have a dog in this fight, but…I’ll give it a shot…
TO KEEP AN EXCELLENT QB IN THE PROGRAM
See, e.g., the Texas game today…
September 10th, 2022 at 7:35 PM ^
Nope. They’re not going to rotate and McNamara will be playing elsewhere next year.
September 10th, 2022 at 8:33 PM ^
Looking at our schedule, I think we’ll be able to get the back ups playing time in the 4th quarter in every single game except in Columbus. They will be playing by the middle of the third in that one.
September 10th, 2022 at 8:46 PM ^
You’re right, that will probably happen in many games, but I think you agree they won’t be rotating when the outcome is still in question.
September 10th, 2022 at 6:34 PM ^
One more example of why they pay people to make these decisions.
September 10th, 2022 at 6:06 PM ^
The crowd goes nuts every time JJ comes in the game.
I know you have to protect the prince, but relax. Take a day off.
September 10th, 2022 at 6:16 PM ^
Participation trophies for all!
September 10th, 2022 at 6:41 PM ^
Or is it just a simple gesture to try and show support and boost a kids confidence when he's clearly not the "favorite", despite the success he's had?
But if it bothers you so much, feel free to do something else with your time, lol.
September 10th, 2022 at 7:27 PM ^
I think you should send him a balloon bouquet
September 10th, 2022 at 8:09 PM ^
Every little kid gets a participation trophy for participating. You only get a Big Ten Championship trophy for, you know, winning a Big Ten Championship.
September 10th, 2022 at 6:04 PM ^
I don’t think a standing ovation for Cade in today’s game will mean anything. It might generate the opposite impression. Did he get one when he came back in the game last week? Will it say, “thanks, Cade, we don’t need you anymore”? Cade doesn’t need standing ovations, he needs NIL money. He’s not going anywhere and he will have more chances to build a video reel of highlights for NFL scouts.
September 10th, 2022 at 6:09 PM ^
Are you reminding us to give to the Ann Arbor Collective NIL program?
September 10th, 2022 at 6:24 PM ^
I will never forget being in 8th grade and I was the anchor for the 4x400 metre relay. By the time I got the baton we were in last place by almost a full lap. So it was me running the entire track alone as the crowd did a standing ovation out of pure pity. That made it worse. I think I'd have preferred booing. I ran my fastest time simply to get the agony over with.
That was the longest 4 minutes of my life.
September 10th, 2022 at 7:16 PM ^
I had a similar experience as the anchor of our throwers 4x100. They made me anchor since I was fast but the other teams were always finished by the time I got the baton. No ovations for me though.
September 10th, 2022 at 7:30 PM ^
Exactly, this. “Yay, thanks for appreciating me for being left out (which hasn’t even happened BTW)!” Is hardly anything anyone of substance would want to happen.
September 11th, 2022 at 2:50 AM ^
Wait... It took you 4 minutes to run the 400?
September 10th, 2022 at 6:06 PM ^
Finally am hearing some appreciation for this kid. GREAT IDEA
September 11th, 2022 at 3:36 PM ^
Finally??? He gets like two a day
September 10th, 2022 at 6:07 PM ^
Man what?!?😂😅 Is Cade retiring? Cade is a fierce competitor and knows he will play every game this season.
September 10th, 2022 at 6:42 PM ^
I think he's just asking for the crowd to do the same thing they do for JJ whenever he enters the game.
September 10th, 2022 at 7:14 PM ^
All I’m saying is if you go through life seeking approval or gratitude from others, you will be a sad soul.
September 10th, 2022 at 7:33 PM ^
I don’t think HE is asking for anything, except an opportunity, which he still has BTW.
And a starter who helped beat OSU for the first time in a decade, and who is still competing for the starting job, and who was voted a captain by the team doesn’t need a participation cheer.
September 10th, 2022 at 6:17 PM ^
Stir that pot!!
September 10th, 2022 at 6:29 PM ^
Ive asked my girlfriend to give me a standing ovation every time I walk in the room. Hasn’t happened yet but I still have hope
September 10th, 2022 at 6:44 PM ^
Maybe you should use MGoBlog and ask others to do it.
September 10th, 2022 at 6:46 PM ^
I thought everyone here would be too busy giving Cade a standing ovation
September 10th, 2022 at 7:36 PM ^
Maybe you should stop using mgoblog! (Mic drop)
September 10th, 2022 at 8:09 PM ^
No wonder you are cranky
September 10th, 2022 at 6:35 PM ^
that's what the money is for.

After watching the Texas game, you see how important it is to have multiple good QBs. I don't get why some fans want to run Cade away from Michigan.
