6 weeks 6 days ago	This came up on MGoSlack. We	This came up on MGoSlack. We combed through the record book (just the past few seasons) and found a 24-goal weekend against OSU in January 2016. I went back and looked and I split that into two posts, so this would technically be the longest.
8 weeks 6 days ago	I was thinking the same thing	I was thinking the same thing for a while. Felt a whole lotta relief when I found that Friday's highlight package had all but one goal.

9 weeks 4 days ago	That's my fault too. I	That's my fault too. I thought a sweep might pull them up the rankings enough that they wouldn't have an impact on M.

There's one more: the excellent Jeremy Dewar, author of The Entry Level Contract, points out that you should replace "Lewandowski" with "Hirose" when you read through State's first goal. I'd make these changes but got an error when I tried and if I try the other editing platform it'll break the GIFs.
22 weeks 3 hours ago	I think he's making a	I think he's making a generalization. Chase has always picked his words very, very carefully. It would be very out of character for him to casually bash part of the staff while praising others.

22 weeks 3 days ago	Thank you!	Thank you! But wait, are you trying to tell me something about presser transcripts?
22 weeks 4 days ago	Yeah, stick to music, Louis.	Yeah, stick to music, Louis. (Actually this is probably the worst "After THE JUMP:" I've ever left in and published and I'm sorry, I have failed you all. I wrote it in the middle of the night, though, so there's that.)

22 weeks 5 days ago	He was answering a question	He was answering a question and just sort of staring one direction. Banter, that's all.
23 weeks 4 days ago	No problem. I appreciate the	No problem. I appreciate the conversation. I know there haven't been as many schematic questions as people might like but that's in response to a number of things, including how I read the room and who we're talking to. Just trying to pick my spots. And as for the question about what they're seeing on film, I like to see where a coach goes with that. Do they talk about a particular player? Do they list a position group or two that caught their attention? Is it just platitudes? It doesn't always work, but it can give a bit of insight into what's on their mind in the middle of game prep. That said, I've tried it a few times now and at this point I feel like it's time to go back to the drawing board (or, in this case, my google doc with question ideas).
23 weeks 4 days ago	I like your second question	I like your second question and think it might get an answer framing it that way, as a question about the long-term direction the run game. That's a good question for the spring, too. The thing about the first question is I really do understand why you want that asked and answered, but trust me, the coaching staff views that as giving away an unnecessary advantage to the opponent. Harbaugh's response to questions like those is always along the lines of "we like the opponent to think everything is on the table."
23 weeks 5 days ago	I didn't ask about going away	I didn't ask about going away from zone to more gap blocked runs because we know the answer: they stopped calling the stuff that wasn't working and went with what was.

25 weeks 3 days ago	No field goals in this one,	No field goals in this one, but I do have charts for them. Will focus on them as needed (i.e. last week's block). As for PATs, I figured anything worth discussing would go in the section below the charts. Didn't think there was anything to talk about with the Nordin one because I didn't see anything on film; Partridge said he got emotional and then his foot hit the ground before the ball.

27 weeks 3 days ago	He could probably be a	He could probably be a receiver. He played a lot of receiver (albeit on the outside) in HS and was excellent. IIRC some people liked him even better as a receiver than as a CB.  As for who's faster, I'd say DPJ but it's close.
27 weeks 3 days ago	Good catch, it should indeed	Good catch, it should indeed be O33. Corrected above.
27 weeks 5 days ago	I had to go back over the	I had to go back over the film a couple times but it was Crawford in the first half against Purdue and Thomas since (with Hawkins remaining the other option). Weird thing to me is Purdue's first-half kickoffs were unreturnable bombs and yet.
27 weeks 5 days ago	Thanks for reading, I	Thanks for reading, I appreciate it. DFW is David Foster Wallace. If you're interested in trying out his work, I recommend A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again. It's a collection of some of his essays, and though his essays aren't short, they're probably a better jumping-in point than something gargantuan like Infinite Jest.
