That’s awesome.  As someone…

That’s awesome.  As someone who has a deep appreciation for contrarian points of view, I always enjoy some Toby Flenderson.

Spending less time online is a good thing, it seems.  I’m off all social media, but good or bad, I still love M Go Blog.  It’s less toxic than most online forums.

I think the adversity…

I think the adversity definitely “circled the wagons” and brought the team closer together.  I predicted at least one loss before the season, just because going undefeated is so difficult and rare.

The outside attacks, pressure and noise raised the team’s focus and I think provided another level of motivation, that wouldn’t have otherwise existed.  Just my opinion.

I think Cutler is the best…

I think Cutler is the best of the list.  He was the Kirk Cousins of his time.

Maybe I missed it, but this…

Maybe I missed it, but this is the first Toby sighting since his epic string of posts a couple months back.  How you been man?

Jesus Fucking Christ

Jesus Fucking Christ

Really?  No recruit?  Didn’t…

Really?  No recruit?  Didn’t Rick Pitino just recruit an entire team for this season?

He has $100 million and…

He has $100 million and endless NBA relationships to fall back on.  I think he’ll be okay.

Is it too late to get…

Is it too late to get Sanderson back? 👀

Losing Sanderson is a huge…

Losing Sanderson is a huge fuckup.

The guy is worth over $100…

The guy is worth over $100 million dollars.  I honestly don’t think he gives two shits about the $3 million dollar contract.  Unless you think he’s got some crazy drug problem?

Vikings would be a home run…

Vikings would be a home run for JJ.  Cousins always struggled with his mobility.  JJ’s athleticism and ability to scramble and extend plays is a game changer for this team.  Plus he gets to throw to jjettas.

The hit on Egbuka was one of…

The hit on Egbuka was one of the best plays of the season.  Would love to have this guy back.

This may have already been…

This may have already been discussed ad nauseam, but there must be an up and coming coach somewhere looking for an opportunity.

This would appear to be the time for something like that.

Michigan Basketball 🏀 - we make our opponents look good.

I could see the Chargers…

I could see the Chargers taking one of those big time WR’s so they can let Keenan Allen and Mike Williams go.  Their cap hits are insane!

What if ATL is in love with…

What if ATL is in love with Drake Maye?  The Pats could trade down to 8 and get McCarthy!  I would love that.

So so sad to have read this…

So so sad to have read this.  God bless Craig and his family 😢

We will have a ton of day 3…

We will have a ton of day 3 picks.  AJ Barner and Karsen Barnhart will be steals.  Just rock solid football players who will contribute and have long careers.

I hate the Steelers.  It…

I hate the Steelers.  It would suck to see JJ on them, but I would still cheer for him.

Just watched for a 3 min…

Just watched for a 3 min stretch in the second half.  Couldn’t do it anymore.  Painful.

I’ve never had so much hope…

I’ve never had so much hope for a player and been so disappointed.  Maybe Shane Morris or Derrick Green?

Went there one time during…

Went there one time during Homecoming.  I want to say 06, but I guess it could have been the 90’s.  Cool place if you’re a Michigan fan.  Saw Dan Dierdorf come into the building with his family.  Cool story bro.

I haven’t watched many games…

I haven’t watched many games this season.  Just happened to catch the Ohio State and Wisconsin games we won (luckily).  This was a conscious attempt to watch an entire game and, wow, was I disappointed.

This Nkamhoua guy does not play defense.  He got blown past in transition and just pointed to the guy down court, as if to say, “someone else get him.”  That is shameful.  If a player on my 6th grade rec team did that, I would immediately bench them.

That game sucked balls.

That game sucked balls.

The whole Petitti situation…

The whole Petitti situation still stinks and I will never forget.

I’m with you.  The Bengals /…

I’m with you.  The Bengals / 49ers Super Bowl in 88 was the first one I was able to stay up and watch as a kid.  We left the Super Bowl party late in the 4th Quarter thinking the Bengals had won.  We were wrong.

Great point.

Great point.

Probably the craziest I have…

Probably the craziest I have ever been at the end of a Michigan game.  One of my favorite moments of all time.  So satisfying having that game come down to a kick and to hit it.  This game was coming off a rough stretch against Notre Dame IIRC (Rocket Ismail) and such.

Do they allow that if you’re…

Do they allow that if you’re in the unemployment line?

You’re right.  “The spot” is…

You’re right.  “The spot” is always the reference, but the lack of calls on an insane amount of holding was the real culprit.

That’s a nice thought, but I…

That’s a nice thought, but I’m not sure it was a real possibility.  With the recent Harbaugh developments, I have gathered that he never intended to stay for 9 seasons.  If we win the 2016 game, make the Playoff, maybe win it all, then he probably goes back to the NFL much sooner.

No one knows, but I’m glad it worked out the way it did in retrospect.  Doesn’t make the 2016 game any easier to swallow.

Sorry to hear that.  Reminds…

Sorry to hear that.  Reminds me of how much politics on social media has divided friends and families the past 10-15 years.  
 

Some things just need to go away and not be discussed amongst family and friends.  Focus on other things you can agree on.

Hold on a minute, we’re…

Hold on a minute, we’re doing recruiting too?  I thought it was just an Ohio State thing now! /s

How/why do they play that…

How/why do they play that song?  It’s about the State of Tennessee.  Makes no sense.

I can’t imagine that dynamic…

I can’t imagine that dynamic.  If it makes you feel any better, you were completely justified.

I threw a remote control…

I threw a remote control against the wall and broke it when Mich lost the 2017 MSU game.  That game just really pissed me off.  Beers and/or Whiskey 🥃 probably also had something to do with it.  Not my finest moment.

The one that always sticks…

The one that always sticks with me was the Colorado 1994 Hail Mary.

I couldn’t watch the game because I grew up on the East Coast and ABC was showing some BC or Syracuse non-sense.  So I followed the score on ESPN.

When it got to the end of the game, I believe it was Chris Fowler, was describing what was happening live on ESPN.  He described the play and I thought he was joking.  Once I realized he wasn’t joking, my heart sunk.

We would have other major disappointments over the years, but that one hit me hard.  Still have a tough time watching that play in highlights.

The Taco Bell breakfast…

The Taco Bell breakfast burritos are actually pretty good.

So we suck now?  That’s cool…

So we suck now?  That’s cool.  Not really.  I coach a 6th grade boys rec 🏀 team and if we were getting beaten this consistently I would lose my shit.

Sometimes the Coach really does matter.  Motivation matters.  Defense always MATTERS, and we seem to be lacking in ALL of these areas.  Won’t lie, it sucks!

I just got done listening to…

I just got done listening to this podcast and I just want to say THANK YOU to Brian, Seth and David.  I will re-listen to this over and over again.

Thank you so much! 😢

JJ is going to be a top 10…

JJ is going to be a top 10 overall pick IMO.  NFL teams have no idea about his arm strength or overall athleticism at this point simply because Michigan didn’t have to use him that way.

Once they meet him, find out how smart he is, how well he knows the game, knows how the win and they see up-close all of the athleticism.  Top 10 pick, I’ve been saying it since last offseason.

Michigan colored glasses aside, I would take him over any QB not named Caleb Williams.

Barnhart is going to be a…

Barnhart is going to be a STEAL for someone in the 6th or 7th rd.  Guy can play either Guard position or Center and can start for a team at any of those positions IMO.

My buddy is a Giants fan and says they need help at the interior OL positions.  Barnhart would be a steal for them in the last two rounds.

I wouldn’t bet on it with…

I wouldn’t bet on it with Harbaugh gone and Warde still firmly in the AD spot.  We can hope though.

I’m guess we’re not getting…

I guess we’re not getting the next great Ravens Assistant at DC this year?  Seems like every NFL team has the same idea as Michigan now.

At a minimum, you’re gonna…

At a minimum, you’re gonna get a QB pressure and/or batted ball from Hutchinson.  That dude is BALLING OUT!!!

Makes sense.  I would be…

Makes sense.  I would be curious how much going up by 3 scores starting the second half increases their likelihood of winning.
