Even more reason for the northern schools to act then. I suspect the power schools in the ACC would block any meaningful reform. It is nice to have championship around Memorial Day but it is a high price to pay with lax in Feb-Apr in the north. You have to be a tough customer to play in that kind of weather.
21 degrees and a slight layer of snow on the ground in Metro Detroit. Playing outside today would be painful and costly - lax heads and sticks would be cracking all over the place.
DCD has a super nice indoor field house that is excellent for lax if you cannot be outside. Michigan and UM Dearborn lax have used this facility many times for early season games.
I agree with you. Another case of the southern schools trying to freeze out the northern schools (bad pun intended) by keeping the lax season in bad weather time frame for the north. Northern school ADs need to step up and fight back on this and baseball. Probably will never happen though because money is not much of a factor.
Go Blue today. Let’s get on a roll with a much needed win.
With Michigan’s NIL and transfer policy being what it is, no sane head coaching candidate would agree to take this job. We should give Coach Howard a raise and hope he doesn’t leave. Any CC lists are a waste of time, as a result.
Missed one game winner. Why pile on Money Moody? Difficult night to kick for both kickers. GB just missed a much easier kick just now. The last make was an excellent kick given poor snap.
Isaiah has not been any more right or wrong compared to any of the other sources regarding this whole drama. It makes perfect sense that Michigan would turtle when it came time to step up. It is not like it has never happened before.
Mock the university, the AD, the administration and the lawyers and I may even be inclined to do so as well.
But please do not mock the players and their unity. They are the ones who absolutely do not deserve all of this craziness. “Bet” is one of the things that demonstrates their commitment and determination.
Thanks, JWG, for all of the excellent and hard work on this series. This is a fixture on this board now, and I cannot imagine counting down to the first Michigan football game in any other way.
I wish that I had more upvotes to give this comment. The NCAA is counting on a big name like Michigan to take this nonsense seriously and bolster their waning credibility. They are dreaming of Warde walking up to the podium, pursing his lips and confessing how terribly we behaved. They would never dream of proposing such penalties to any other of the major football powers. We need to stop entertaining these ridiculous games, and defend our coach and program as vigorously as possible, including all of our law school talent and alumni that are willing to help.
Why is it that Jim Harbaugh cannot say a word to defend himself but the NCAA is constantly leaking information and then commenting on the leaks? The constant leaks are the actions of a desperate party that knows their case is weak and ridiculous. I hope someone calls them on these cheap and unfair tactics.
Great selection for the historic player spotlight. AJ has always been one of my favorite players. Too bad his career was limited by injuries. He was always featured in the wishbone that Bo liked to run especially on the goal line and in short yardage situations. Go Pilots! And as always, Go Blue!
I just have a gut feeling about Davis Warren. This kid obviously knows how to fight and in matters that are way more important than football. He seems to always rise to the occasion. He has very good accuracy and enough speed and quickness to keep the defense nervous. I think if JJ leaves after this season, he will be the starter next season.
What a beautiful ring! The design is perfect. Exudes power and class without being overly complicated. This is further emphasized by the fact that this is Alvin Wistert’s ring. Another home run, JWG!
The comments about Michigan, as so many of his have been, are completely unnecessary and even uninformed. What makes him any kind of authority on what makes a town Midwestern or not? It is completely fair for Michigan fans to react when he keeps mentioning our name. It is almost like he is trying to convince himself that he made the correct decision. As in all things, decisions made for money alone often bring along other problems. If it was winning and money, perhaps he is starting to feel the pressure.
In any event, the constant comparisons show doubt instead of confidence and are unwarranted. Just speak favorably about your new team and end it there.
IBMNB, this coverage that you provide is premium and I always try to follow it. If I cannot watch a game, I read this coverage to get the full story of the game. Thank you for all of the effort in telling the story of these games!
Thanks a lot for this informative update. Excited that lacrosse is starting up again. It would be really cool if Conry could get this program rolling and generate some excitement. I agree that getting Bryce Clay back will be big.
Former Michigan players accounted for 9.5 sacks in NFL games this past week. Very impressive total. High school DE recruits should have a very clear #1 school!
Logged in to support this young man. The tweet in the OP is total consistent with all accounts from coaches and players about DE and also all of the interviews that I have heard from him. After the last game, maybe the best of his career, it took Jason Avant three pointed questions before DE would say anything about himself instead of his coaches and teammates. He is such a good example in the way that he speaks about his coaches, and teammates, his upbeat attitude, and his recognition for the efforts of others, that I have played his interviews for my children to be used as an excellent example for them.
You could add Matt Ruhle to a long list of preferred coaches to Coach Jim Harbaugh that did not age very well, including but not limited to Campbell, Allen, Ferentz, and Fitzgerald.
Just because I thought it was a family related move and then he fell into a tough situation with his position group. Plus, missing out on all of the success last year at Michigan. I guess I could be wrong.
I have to think that it depends on the type of hit or trauma. If your jaw is flopping around after the hit, it cannot be good for your head, your teeth, or your tongue.
Both this play and the Stokes fumble were definitely reviewed in the booth. The head official held the snap after both plays until the ruling from the booth said to proceed. I think both plays were properly allowed to stand as called.

I always stay to the end of the game as well. I think it is cool that the end of the game in a blowout was really important to Coach Harbaugh, the coaches, and the players.
I also really didn’t like Hawaii leaving their starters in for the whole game. I get leaving them in to avert the shutout and to put some positive plays on tape. But at some point, their backups deserve a shot too.

This sounds kind of edgy, creative, intense, and limit testing. I love it! Count me in. Well played, Coach Moore.

Totally agree. You have to at least publicly support your coach after he sticks out his neck for the program like that. At the very least.
Missed opportunity for Jay to leave the nest, or coop as it were for the Harbaughs.
With Michigan’s NIL and transfer policy being what it is, no sane head coaching candidate would agree to take this job. We should give Coach Howard a raise and hope he doesn’t leave. Any CC lists are a waste of time, as a result.
Jay Feely’s analysis is really timely and insightful.
Horrible call. With a very late flag too.
That’s Buffalo ball right there.
You don’t find speaking in a press conference about biting kneecaps quirky?
Totally agree. The NFC championship game will hinge on Samuel’s availability.
OSU is going to have a lot of talent next year.
Oh, wait……..

Nice kick given a bad snap which caused the hold to be slow.

Time for the Illini to establish the run here.
Thanks for these updates! The best weather information available for Michigan football!

Awesome selection. One of my favorites. I totally agree about the high value as well. Enjoy!

Until I read your post, I assumed this whole thread was about Davis Warren! LOL

Finishing up Koval Single Barrel Bourbon and starting Horse Soldier Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Enjoying the pure Michigan summer weather.

Wow, both Michigan Men in this picture are gone too soon. Another great selection of the player in the countdown, JWG.

The number of worthy Michigan football players for each number amaizes me. Their stories are remarkable as well.
Excellent choice for #67. A number for hard working and true Michigan Men.
I really enjoy these posts over the summer. Thanks for all you do, JWG.

Seconded. It is an awesome and hilarious movie. Jason Isaacs’ portrayal of Zhukov is pure genius.
Canceled mine. It only takes one. But I wish everybody safe travels who has not made it to Arizona yet!

I completely believe DE’s explanation.

I feel bad for Zach Carpenter. Tough situation with his position group right now.
Iowa punt domination!
This guy was probably doing squat thrusts all week in anticipation of making this call on national television.

Thanks a lot, Blue.
I am maybe a bourbon advanced beginner, so I do not want to pretend like I have an expert opinion.
However, it is the most unique bourbon that I have tried to date. Smooth oatmeal cookie flavor while still being robust and packs quite a punch.
Watching the wheels fall off for LSU.
Drinking Peerless Single Barrel Double Oak.
No way ND is higher than Michigan in academics. Looks like some massaging of data goin on here.
