Bob stoops was a pretty solid player at Iowa before his coaching career.

Yeah, he was a pretty solid…

Yeah, he was a pretty solid player there. You could also tell from his interaction with Woodson that Stoops likely thought Michigan was going to win but awkwardly picked Iowa in a "I couldn't possibly pick against them" sort of way. If you didn't know he was a player with roots at Iowa it would have seemed a bit odd, but that interaction makes a lot more sense if you knew he went to Iowa. 

This seems like more of a…

This seems like more of a criticism of his time at Michigan than anything. However, what they seem to be omitting (I have no idea how with how many times it is said by announcers) is that he was a D3 player that was given a shot at Michigan. It took quite a bit of development to make him into what he is today, and that credit should absolutely be given to Michigan and Beilein. No other p5 school was even looking at him, let alone debating bringing him in. The transformation he made from when he first transferred to when he was drafted was huge. 

 

I will say that I think more pin downs and actual sets should have been run for him coming from off ball screens especially in his last year though. I thought it during the season and how well he is doing in the Pros now just reinforces that thought. Overall though, you couldn't really have asked for more improvement from a player coming from D3 ball and Beilein really set him up for that improvement.

This truly is the most OSU vs Mich Outcome possible. Legitimately just unlucky.

I think we'll see 13k or so. The worst of the virus hasn't even happened yet, so we will continue to go down due to the maintained panic.

No chance. He likely needs 2 more years realistically. Next year to get his shooting stroke down, then the year after to hammer home some more nuanced aspects of the game. That doesn’t mean he wouldn’t leave after next year though, but definitely not this year.

  • Feasted on lambs with much of his sack production”

 

That’s one hillarious bullet point in a scouting report. Not wrong though.

Brooks. Zeb will get some minutes too. I actually think Brooks would be a great compliment at pg to Christopher playing sg if we end up getting him.

What does something like this point to considering how much we underperformed? Great player development but bad scheme? 

That was the play of the…

That was the play of the game and really what turned the game around in my opinion. He was destroyed on that play and is what led to that huge comeback. Getting beat couldn’t have happened to a better player either. Sherman publicly talks shit far too much. 

That’s a nice PWO. I always…

That’s a nice PWO. I’m surprised he’s not getting some looks from some smaller d1 schools, granted all I’ve seen are these highlights. 
 

 

His mechanics aren’t perfect, but that’s something that can improve. What I’m really impressed by his how he can throw on the run. There is a play in there that he is rolling right and launches it 50 yards down field with great accuracy while on the run, that isn’t something many high schoolers can do. He may never start for us, but having quality walk on guys like this in practice helps more than people realize. 

This is my experience as…

This is my experience as well. You can always get their promo prices if you ask. The actual cost was much cheaper to get cable and internet together than something like YouTube+ along with internet, however, once you factor in the cable fees (which they don’t tell you about and are ridiculously high for fees) it comes out to roughly even. If it ever becomes more I’ll likely cut the cord, But for now it’s easy enough to just keep it and the convenience of cable is nice. 

Mini vans are ugly as hell…

Mini vans are ugly as hell. I think that pretty much sums up why so many people dismiss them and won’t drive them. It really is that simple. 

And Bo was a woody disciple,…

And Bo was a woody disciple, being a disciple doesn’t mean shit about where they will and won’t go. With that said I don’t want fleck to take over for Harbaugh, but that still is a stupid reason as to why he wouldn’t come. Fleck isn’t even what I would call a true tressel disciple anyway even if that was a decent reason, he was there for 1 ga year. 

He won player of the game…

He won player of the game with that many elite players on the floor, including the number 1 player in the country who he was matched up with. That is extremely impressive, especially since he didn’t play most of the first quarter due to injury. 

Even OBJ can’t be that…

Even OBJ can’t be that stupid to do it ON the field with a lot of cameras on, can he? I feel like it likely was fake money and obj just taunting the NCAA, or it was real money and LSU will go in full panic mode and they will give the money back and nothing will come of it. 

From competing and getting…

From competing and getting in? Not all that far. From actually winning it and competing consistently for actually winning? Pretty far off, not so far that it isn’t possible to get up there though. 

After 628 yards I would say…

After 628 yards I would say it is more accurate to say Clemson tries to do what don brown tries to do. Both were just trying. 

I had completely forgotten…

I had completely forgotten about him since he barely played. I really thought he was going to be a great player here when he committed. 

Honestly, yes. This would be…

Honestly, yes. This would be the highest rated recruit for Michigan since recruiting rankings started about 20 years ago or so. Jerry Meyer's Crystal ball is also a big deal because when he CB's things they have a good chance of happening. He isn't a biased Michigan reporter that gets news from our point of view, he's a director of scouting for 247 and has a lot of sources and his predictions are pretty accurate. 

I could not agree more. I…

I could not agree more. I still really like beilein and respect him, but I expected more from him in that situation. He needed to be the one to tell his team that he was leaving, not the damn tv.

He committed in the spring a while back, but he just now signed. 

This is easier to do over…

This is easier to do over the course of a season and also over the course of many seasons in college where they are a bit more locked in. If you lose a locker room in the pros it can get nasty pretty quickly with trade demands, people in FA just not wanting to come to you, people just not listening too you, etc. 

While both would no doubt…

While both would no doubt have been good additions, neither would have changed anything at all this season. Our rb's did fine, and Dillon wouldn't have done much better if any better at all. Our main problem with running was getting any push and moving the LOS. Having Dillon wouldn't have changed that. Soloman would have been a good addition, but over the course of the season our DL shaped up to do pretty well. His addition would have been nice, but once again wouldn't have actually changed anything this season. 

I don’t think Harbaugh could…

I don’t think Harbaugh could let himself leave before beating OSU at least once. His legacy would be the pretty good coach would literally never beat OSU. 

I’d argue Gonzaga was the…

I’d argue Gonzaga was the critical game that would put us over the top. We won the tournament against a top 10 team after just beating another top 10 team. You can’t expect even the best team in the country to win against a good team, then a top 10 team, then a top 10 team all back to back to back in 3 days then fly to the #1 team in the country and pull out a win in their house. That’s fucking delusional.  

I’d argue Gonzaga was the…

Double post.

Great play. I feel like this is something Harbaugh would have done a while ago, but for some reason doesn’t do anymore.

Great play. I feel like this…

Double post.

Lol fuck off man. Osu is just the better team this year, and it showed. They also had a few good breaks, which helped.

The banner ads are bad Cause sometimes they take up a lot of the screen, but the odd site redirects on mobile is what is really annoying. This is the only site that it happens on that I frequent, but every once in a while while on mobile it sends you to completely different site, and that site typically seems to try and prey on people and isn’t a traditional ad.

Double post.

I'm sure it has happened before, but it definitely is a pretty rare feat. We aren't your typical unranked team though. 

We could very well just be…

We could very well just be on a hot streak, so who knows if we will be a better shooting team. What I can say and something I think will hold true is that we are taking much smarter shots. I think there were more "why did you shoot that" moments in 5 minutes of any given game last year than we have had all year. Granted a lot of that was poole or brazdeikis, as good as they were, launching up something that should just not have gone up. 

This year is going to be a…

A lot of upsets it seems so far.

Impressive. Since this is high school he’s probably also a wr or rb though and not a pure punter.

It really isn’t an obscure football fact. They even talked about it during the game.

I wasn't able to watch the game so thanks for the highlights. Even from that short clip it really makes you realize how hard being a good announcer is. Maybe I should cut announcers a bit more slack...

The exact same thing…

The exact same thing happened with Beilein not long ago, were you ok with it then? He’s also our new coach, he’s going to be in the spotlight a bit more than normal and that’s fine. 

I agree with you. I have no…

I agree with you. I have no idea where these rose colored glasses came out of in regards to Fisch. Do you all not remember how much you hated him when he was here and were calling for him to get fired? 

lol. No. 

lol. No. 

He’s absolutely right, but…

I feel like you didn’t actually see the quote if you are complaining about this.

Brady is better than mahomes though. 

“When I played NCAA '07 back…

“When I played NCAA '07 back in the day, I would literally just run 4 verticals on every single play and throw it to my 5-star receivers.”

 

 

lol wow. You didn’t actually play real football did you? I love madden  and ncaa, but it is FAR from real football. 

Because your playing for…

Because they are playing for draft position. The difference between a low and high lottery pick is huge, and going to an hbcu could mean that difference. Either way he would likely get drafted, but even a few spots is a big deal in the lottery. 

I think it is fine that they…

I think it is fine that they denied it.

It looked more like he was…

It looked more like he was yelling at the refs and Harbaugh was in between the 2. I forgot what happened on that play but it was something that would make sense to be yelling at the ref for. 

There are legit complaints…

There are legit complaints about Harbaugh, but not firing friends isn't one of them. Harbaugh and Drevno were great friends and he let him go. 

"was so absolutely average…

"was so absolutely average as a player"

 

 

I'm not going to dive into anything else because it is pointless, but does this guy know Harbaugh went to New York as a Heisman finalist, was b10 MVP, went on to have a successful NFL career, and was a pro bowler?

It looks like we have…

It looks like we have officially moved into the "Bargaining" stage of grief as a fan base.
