In fairness, free tickets…

In fairness, free tickets and your name on a wall somewhere has always worked to motivate donors. However, I agree with you that donor fatigue will set in because the difference today is that donors believe they are actually paying directly for on-field success, and so far that hasn't worked.

Pretty sure our "portal…

Pretty sure our "portal needs" are unobtainable. It's clear there is going to be a rebuilding process that will, hopefully, be aided by a new coach. The good news is that rebuilding in MBB can happen relatively quickly. But, thinking the portal is going to solve these problems in irrational.

Ha! I was going to say at least we all know he'll advocate hard for us to make sure we get a playoff spot.

I'd say that ship sailed years ago.

Jump Around at Wisconsin in…

Jump Around at Wisconsin in 2021 was pretty amazing. It wasn't the crowd that elevated the team, but the enthusiasm and vibe on the sideline definitely strikes me one of those moments when off-the-field energy carried the team.

Agree this is a super prompt. Everyone has been throwing around their love for this place, and the dollars should flow too. We all know the team wouldn't have been half as successful without reading Fee Fi Foe Film and game previews. Pay these gentlemen the bonuses they deserve!

The first, but hopefully not…

The first, but hopefully not the last, Monday Punt/Counterpunt. Such a treat and just what I needed this morning. Thank you both for being a stalwart in my gameday routine. Phenomenal work as always.

Isn't this just the slogan for the internet as a whole?

Agree. This class feels very familiar, though many feel we may have left some stars on the table. We are the consensus #1 team in the country at the moment. I am not satisfied until we win it all, but it's hard to argue that this coaching staff has not found a recipe for success.

The most non-Sparty "Sparty No" of all time. Horrendous.

Just makes me wonder is if there has ever been a -22 spread and the O/U set to 22. If not, this would be the game.

This says a lot about the…

This says a lot about the state of Oregon St. At best this is a lateral move, but that truly is "at best." MSU is currently a disaster, so the future of Beaver football must not be looking so great in the Pac 2.

Can this be the final straw…

Can this be the final straw for ESPN? They pick a dude from App State and a backup from Ohio for the $100000 kicking contest in Ann Arbor. WTF?

In case you don't want to click espn link, here is the full quote:

"I'm going to talk on Friday," Harbaugh said. "I'm just looking forward to that opportunity -- due process. I'm not looking for special treatment, not looking for a popularity contest, just looking for the merit of what the case is."

All of this is spot on, but…

All of this is spot on, but also, the hypocrisy here is so rampant and is why I think the common feeling around here is that UM will come out of this looking like the good guy. That a guy who took "intro to logic" can articulate the merits of our case this well portends well for the army of lawyers we are unleashing on the B1G.

Well said. I was feeling a…

Well said. I was feeling a bit concerned about getting the TRO granted today and the judge being accused of the same hastiness and lack of due process that we are accusing Pettiti of. In a way, this is the high road. Win the game today. Win in court next Fri. That being said, the fact that we are in this position in the first place is BS.

That OSU education at work…

That OSU education at work. Clearly this is a textbook "Ponzi scheme." You go Maurice...pinnacle of integrity. 

Well said. I read this in…

Well said. I read this in the WaPo article and thought the same thing:

The outside firm also presented to NCAA officials photographs of people investigators believed to be Michigan scouts in action — including current students interning with the football team. The photos showed these people seated at games of Michigan opponents this season, aiming their cellphones at the sidelines.

A quick google search demonstrates the sheer audacity of having a cell phone at a college football game pointed at the field (worth noting that "aiming their cellphones at the sideline" from the stands would be a pretty speculative conclusion).

Gaslighting is the perfect description of what's going on here.

I was going to say the same…

I was going to say the same thing. This sounds like a proposal for journalists to do, you know, journalism. The fun of the annual touch football game is that it's journalists playing football. So, the true equivalent "alternate proposal" would be for the two football teams to write the editorial together, but I don't see that happening any time soon. And if it did happen, we all know which team would carry the load in that endeavor.

Whether it's McCaffrey or…

Whether it's McCaffrey or not, does this person's presence on the sideline automatically mean he's a GA? Couldn't it just be a guy who was invited to be on the sideline?

OSU looks remarkably…

I would love it if you told me you entered "design a trophy for the MSU-Rutgers football game" into some AI program and that's what it came up with.

In case anyone was wondering, this is precisely how it would have gone in 1997.

I keep thinking I can’t be watching the same game as the announcers. I like Tirico but football is clearly not his thing.

It would also be cool if we could interactively swap out historical players for current players and vice versa and have an algorithm that would predict the player-by-player impact on said ratings for any given year. That would be fun.

One more point worth…

One more point worth mentioning is that the only advantage here would (theoretically) be from buying the hamburger, and the NCAA said it wasn't about that. It's about bruising their ego when Jim didn't come clean about the burger. Absolutely ZERO competitive advantage to be found from not being forthright about the hamburger.
