Hawt Take.....Our O-line…

Hawt Take.....Our O-line will take the slightest step back if any this year from last year.  A lot of upperclassman on the roster to fill in the gaps.

Let me guess, you are one of…

Let me guess, you are one of the fans that thought we would get destroyed in 2021 at home and gets our doors blown off in 2022 in Columbus. 

It is pretty amazing that…

It is pretty amazing that after beating OSU 3 years in a row, we are entering our 4th year as another big underdog.  We are going to be able to prepare all season long hearing that our rival is the most talented team in College Football and we don't stand a chance this year in Columbus.  OSU please underestimate us for a fourth year in a row!

On top of that, the reason…

On top of that, the reason why they got beat by Missouri is because they had no O-Line.  OSU is willing to convince themselves of anything, but I don't believe they have a lot of different players coming in from what they had on their roster from last year when it comes to this position group.  Unless they are hoping the guy that most Alabama fans feel lost them the Rose Bowl is their O-Line savior.  National Championships are won in the trenches.  OSU will be loaded with talent, but I am still not impressed with what they are bringing to every game this year in the trenches.

Oh good. This means they…

Oh good. This means they cheated and still lost to us

I think it is only hard to…

I think it is only hard to quantify because of the way the committee has setup the process to maximize the revenue for them and the major bowl sites.  If you do a 2nd round home field advantage and then keep everything else the same as it is now for the semis and Championship game then everything should bee good right?  Wrong!  Expanding the playoffs just allows them to have even more of a money grab with allowing all major bowls to have a piece of the action instead of having the semis and championship games rotate between the top 4 bowls.  When they move to 16 teams, my guess is they will add even more "major bowls" to take part in the money action.  I am excited about the new playoff format, but having to deal with these major bowl companies is going to be annoying as it always is.

Tony Petiti politely stepped aside and gave his voice over to the new AD for The Ohio State for the best interest of the conference. /S

I kid about this, but for some reason it would not be surprising to me if this new AD or Gene Smith had some say in what the B1G is advocating for.

I mentioned this in a…

I mentioned this in a previous thread, but I think if you give the Top 4 a first round bye in the 1st round and then give the Top 4 home field advantage in the 2nd round it would keep the importance of Conference Championships.  They will not do this because they are greedy, but I think it would be a good fix to make the regular season important and the Conference Championships.  I look forward to our first home playoff game in the Big House.  It could even happen this year.  Go Blue!

Ohio State is so desperate…

Ohio State is so desperate this year that they are paying our players just to leave our team

I still can't believe we…

I still can't believe we freaking won the championship!  Still seems a bit surreal.

It should be Top 4 teams get…

It should be Top 4 teams get a bye and then have home field advantage in the 2nd round.  This would make the regular season extremely important as that would be a huge advantage.  They won't do that because it would mean not as much money going to these stupid bowl sponsors.  I can't wait to attend a home playoff game at The Big House in the future.  Go Blue!

I get it that the optimism…

I get it that the optimism for this team is not close to where it was last year, but why do we have to accept that we are going to for sure lose 3-4 games? I believe our defense will be better than last year.  There is not a game on our schedule that is a for sure loss at this point.  If we beat Texas at home, who knows what this team can accomplish.  I think it is time for Michigan fans to realize we have a program that reloads now instead of rebuilds.  Accept that!

It has clearly been…

It has clearly been mentioned that Mike Hart is dealing with some personal issues.  Creating a post titled "Moral Support for Mike Hart" is a great thing!  To try to twist it into anything else is just ridiculous.  If the OP would have created a post called "what is happening with Mike Hart" that would be different.  

I love Mike Hart and as others have said he will always be a Michigan Legend and a true Michigan Man!

Besides Head Coach, is it…

Besides Head Coach, is it possible this staff could be overall better than the previous one.  I know it sucked to lose so many of our coaches, but our previous staff was not lighting the recruiting trail on fire.  I realize this new staff does not have a lot/if any recruiting experience, but they seem to be a young crew which usually bodes well for recruiting. I think if we could have kept Herbert, Sherrone would be getting at least an A- for grades on his coaching hires.  Go Blue!

I bet Jedd Fisch is pissed. …

I bet Jedd Fisch is pissed.  This Foster guy took the job right out from under him.

Is Ohio State that desperate…

Is Ohio State that desperate that they are poaching kids on our team who barely saw Special Teams minutes?  I am pretty sure Joey just wanted to move on and Ohio State is allowing him this opportunity.  The idea that by taking him is now going to give OSU an information advantage is ridiculous!

If I were an Ohio State…

If I were an Ohio State spokesman, I would also be adamant about him only playing football.  This would clearly give Ohio State their first victory over us in close to 5 years.

He is going there to troll. …

He is going there to troll.  He wants to be the only player on a team that wins a National Championship!

Are you kidding me?  Let me…

Are you kidding me?  Let me guess, Herbert is next to leave?  The sky is falling again!

Fantastic article and thanks…

Fantastic article and thanks for sharing!

I feel like this video is worthy of this thread.  Go Blue!

If a NFL team believes the…

If a NFL team believes the risk is worth it in taking a DC and making him a first time head coach, I think this should give us a bit more confidence in the risk Michigan is taking in making their OC coach into a first time head coach.

I cannot give you any real…

I cannot give you any real advice for Ross but the way to get rich as quick as possible is to find a school that has the degree you are passionate about.  Work as hard as you can to learn as much as you can.  Try to not get into any debt through school (I know that may not be possible).  Work while you are in school to pay for as many expenses as possible.  Once you get your degree (for what you are passionate about) work as hard as you can.  The kid will be a wealthy individual before he knows it and can give as much as his heart is content until he grows old and happy!

You could be a fan of…

You could be a fan of Washington Huskies.  Your coach left and took several of the staff with him, and your team still is without a championship for many decades.  

If you are feeling in the…

If you are feeling in the dumps, I urge everyone to watch this video of Coach Moore and the next group of leaders at the basketball game the other night.  This does not look like a coach that is out of place nor players who are on the verge of leaving.

Always appreciate your input…

Always appreciate your input on this blog NittanyFan.  You are by far my favorite opponent poster on this blog.

Just because people don't…

Just because people don't fall victim to the doom and gloom mentality doesn't mean that they are automatically in the everything is great and rosy category.  I think we all want action, but it is hard to get too caught up in rumors after watching our team win a National Championship after 26 years.

There are zero facts in what…

There are zero facts in what you have said above and all based off emotion.  Your post sounds like the details came from an Ohio State blog.

I will never forget reading…

I will never forget reading the thread about Biff Poggi and how he was the main reason our culture changed after Covid.  In that thread, there were claims being made that our team will take a step back since Poggi left.  It was like doom and gloom because a coach left.  Now we are here over a year later being called National Champions.  It sucks that Harbaugh is leaving and it sucks he is taking guys with him, but just like when Poggi left the new guys have to figure it out for themselves and keep the momentum going.  Do you think that when  The Don, Moore, Paige, and Stewart made the decision to come back that they knew exactly how this Harbaugh situation would turn out?  I think they decided to come back because they love the University and their teammates and want to make another run at a title.  I think it speaks volumes that we have had no surprise transfers (except for maybe Clemons) and have had some surprise players returning (The Don and Moore).  Biff Poggi may have been responsible for changing the culture, but all the players and coaches on the team were responsible for living it out which was proven this year.  I have faith that Sherrone will maintain the culture.  Go Blue!

He already hit a home run on November 25, 2023 so you pick the base.

We just won a freaking National Championship.  For those that blame Warde and can't stand him, good for you.  For those that back Warde and think he did all he could good for you.  I am thankful no one can take away what Team 144 accomplished with Harbaugh and Warde.  Go Blue!

That was so well done.  The…

That was so well done.  The emotional roller coaster this past season was makes even more powerful.  I will forever root for Jim Harbaugh.  He will always be known as the coach who brought Michigan back to the top.  I am also thankful Sherrone Moore was able to be here for the last 3-4 years being mentored by Jim Harbaugh.  It may not be immediate, but Sherrone will keep this program as an elite one for many years.  Go Blue!

We will have top 5 O-Line and D-Line in the nation next year.  Book it!

Wait a minute…….i thought Harbaugh to the Chargers was all but a done deal.  At least that is what Schefter said. I thought for sure he knew what he was talking about this time.

The dude can blow his whistle to a terrible beat though.

These reactions will never get old!

What a freaking journey. …

What a freaking journey.  Well done man!

The beginning of that song…

The beginning of that song with the football plays makes my heart beat faster everytime.  And it is not in a good way.  I am thankful for the ending videos.  Man we have come a long way!

Your example may be equal…

Your example may be equal from a coaching level.  Only time will tell, but there is no comparison to what Juwan has achieved from a sports level to what Hoke has.  When Juwan was hired, you had a lot of really intelligent and successful basketball players and coaches praising the hire and giving their opinion on how Juwan is an up and comer.  Maybe all of that was overblown or just flat out incorrect.  I am fine with Michigan giving Juwan a final season to figure it out.  

Good.  Juwan Howard loves…

Good.  Juwan Howard loves the University of Michigan and I hope he can dig deep to figure things out.  Getting rid of a coach is not an easy decision and does not always pay off.  I would love it if Juwan can change things up and turn the program around rather than trying to find another coach that maybe can. Go Blue!

Why isn’t anyone…

Why isn’t anyone interviewing Ryan Day?  

It very well could be and…

It very well could be and unfortunately when agents are involved it becomes a dog eat dog business.  I do have hope and faith in that Harbaugh is going to do everything he can to keep Michigan in as good of position as possible if he decides to leave.  I am not exactly sure what that means yet, but I don't think there is any denying that Jim Harbaugh loves Michigan.

Yeah, I don't know.  All I…

Yeah, I don't know.  All I do know is there is information getting out to the public regarding Michigan's negotiations with Harbaugh.  That is more than anything else.  I would still say due to the process already that there are better chances Harbaugh takes an NFL job rather then coming back to Michigan.  I do think it is telling that several of our players made a decision to come back another year.  This tells me they have been told something about the future coaching staff.  One of the fears I have is Harbaugh leaves and a lot of the coaching staff leaves as well.  This could still happen, but with those players coming back it seems a lot less likely that it will be the case.  A lot of opinions and speculation going on right now.

I think Harbaugh wants to…

I think Harbaugh wants to get back to the NFL unfortunately, but I also think he is just keeping his options open as well.  I do not believe he is dead set on only going back to the NFL and quite honestly I am not sure he is going to get exactly what he wants with a NFL contract.  If Harbaugh is having such specific demands with Michigan you have to believe he is doing the same with NFL teams.  We know Harbaugh is the best option for us moving forward so I think we would be willing to take some risks on some of these demands.  I am not sure it is the same for these NFL owners.

I am gaining optimism with…

I am gaining optimism with this mainly due to the fact that Harbaugh is clearly working with U of M on a new contract.  I guess after we won the National Championship I was convinced Harbaugh is gone.  I am not sure how this will end but I like the fact that both Harbaugh and Michigan are doing the only negotiating right now that we know of.  I am sure Harbaugh's attorney is speaking to NFL teams but the Michigan contract is currently the most public at the moment.  Come back Harbaugh and continue to build on the achievements you have already conquered.  Go Blue!

I guess we need another 3…

I guess we need another 3 hour podcast to have Seth explain his hawt take. They could also spend some time talking about our guys coming back and the overall outlook of Team 145. I do love hearing the MGoBlog team talk about Michigan football. Thank you fellas!

This team will be a top 5…

This team will be a top 5 team again next year and are a QB away from competing for a championship yet again next year. Even without a QB coming in, this team will be elite. 

Awesome! I still refuse to…

Awesome! I still refuse to take a lot of merit from a guy that up until the day Harbaugh came to Michigan was still refuting that Harbaugh would leave the NFL.  

I won't shoot the messenger,…

I won't shoot the messenger, but Schefter is about as accurate as a weatherman.  Spews something out to be fact, changes his words a bit later, and then the day before the action he gives the true facts as if it was what he was saying all along.  I give a break to weatherman/weatherwomen as predicting weather is very difficult.  Schefter is just an idiot and wants to always be the first to report anything.

This is huge in my opinion. …

This is huge in my opinion.  His quickness and strength were huge this year especially in the Rose Bowl.

This is correct so it means…

This is correct so it means Schefter knows absolutely nothing as well.
