The way that game went, nobody on Bama can say shit except for the punter.

Other than this result,…

Other than this result, January was a pretty good month.

He's 59. Most of his career…

He's 59. Most of his career was in D3. Sure, he turned around Kansas last year, but that's one year. And how does he even fit in to the Michigan narrative??? It's silly even seeing his name put out there.

As an AD making a hire like this, LL would be a big WTF to have to explain to the fanbase, bigger than RichRod. Hardly anyone will have heard of him.

"Oh but he was a big winner at Wisconsin-Whitewater bumfuck nowhere 10 years ago!"

 

and googling Lance Leipold…

and googling Lance Leipold...he sure is experienced, and also 59 years old. I don't think you can bring in a guy like that to Michigan unless his name is Nick Saban or Pete Carroll.

Lance Leipold...LOL

Losing…

Lance Leipold...LOL.

Finding someone new off the…

Finding someone new off the Ravens staff ain't going to be easy. Macdonald will get a HC job...Ravens will promote Anthony Weaver, and either Mike is taking people with him or other teams will be looking to copy the Ravens systems.

Thanks Jim for the past 8/9…

Thanks Jim for the past 8/9 years, plus your QB days. We'll remember and idolize you.

Anyway, moving on.

To me, whatever we've doing…

To me, whatever we've doing the past few years when NIL came into play has been working. Like, not shooting the money cannon at fresh 4/5* recruits. 

'member the 2012 game vs…

'member the 2012 game vs Bama in Jerryworld? The first play off scrimmage and they knocked our line back a yard with a loud thud. Knew it was going to be a long night right there.

To go from that to this year was well worth the wait and patience.

I was at a watch party so I…

I was at a watch party so I didn't catch much of the game (so many other people's holiday vacation photos to nod through). I'm going to have a shower beer, and then start watching the replay.

Go Blue!

My take is only one guy gets…

My take is only one guy gets enough touches to get going and then make a difference in the 4th Q. It was DE last year vs OSU, and it's been BC this year.

knuckle in the asshole.

What would Tressel have done? The same thing.

Look at their eyes, definitely admiring each other's millenial beards.

Yeah, JJ wasn't very impressive this year. He needs to stick around and improve.

If you were one of the "tens…

If you were one of the "tens of thousands that responded to Paul in the most cruel, crass, and obscene manner"...then I salute you. I really doubt he has those ratings though.

Stewart Mandel. Fuck him and The Athletic.

Need some referees on this list too.

Hush you. Advanced scouting is no longer allowed!

Opening sentence trolling…

Opening sentence trolling...I love it.

ESPN still controls the CFP…

ESPN still controls the CFP and many prominent bowls, so don't expect the UM administration to tell them to piss off. 

I mean, if you gotta make…

I mean, if you gotta make stuff up on the sidelines, then make it funny and entertaining.

If you ever lurk OSU forums,…

If you ever lurk OSU forums, you'll see their lives completely revolve around something called "TTUN"

Losing the court case would…

Losing the court case would have amounted to the same situation as now - except that the fans and players would be even more galvanized and energized with the "vs everybody" mentality.

Surrendering feels so deflating right now. Hope the team feels this L and realizes how much it sucks.

Did anyone criticizing Tony…

Did anyone criticizing Tony Gerdeman actually read this Michigan Monday? He was actually quite critical of the Big Ten decision-making.

You have various B1G teams…

You have various B1G teams unsolicitedly calling TCU to warn them about Michigan stealing signs, and you're not going to assume they're sharing other info?

It's fucking sick, but it is what it is. Goading the B1G commissioner today to punish us based off no evidence is taking it to another level. Again, our opponents are showing how deep in the shit they're willing to go.

I'm all for scorching the earth, but this needs to be settled on the field.

When you sub YTTV, part of…

When you sub YTTV, part of that share is going to ESPN, whether you watch it or not.

I have YTTV too...looking for other options next year, so not one dime is ever shared with ESPN.

If Don Brown didn't change…

If Don Brown didn't change anything after he left, that's on us.

I think we should all go…

I think we should all go ahead and inform whatever cable/TV streaming services we use that we are completely fine without ESPN/ABC.

This all makes me wonder…

This all makes me wonder about that first half vs TCU...

All Petitti needed to say…

All Petitti needed to say was, "now, now, calm your tits, children" and most of this would go away.

Any little league dad or soccer mom can do this guy's job.

Stomp on the B1G logo in Happy Valley.

Does Harbaugh get invited to the other coaches' birthday parties? I don't think so.

They better check the source…

They better check the source footage and make sure we're not being fed deepfakes on social media.

In their defense, they were…

In their defense, they were refreshing 11Warriors all week.

high-level school…

high-level school administrators and Petitti have pored over a wide range of possibilities.

I read this as high school, which sounds just about right for the drama levels of the other B1G schools.

post it on reddit/r/CFB as the "Manifesto"

 

Prepare to be massively downvoted.

 

The video evidence so far…

The video evidence so far are from tweets and their anonymous sources. What if Conor was deepfaked in, and the CMU coaches and staff are lost because they simply don't remember him?

Connections and friends. I…

Connections and friends. I once got a press sideline pass a long time ago as a student.

Everyone else is expecting…

Everyone else is expecting and waiting for..a Jim Mora breakdown as in "playoffs?! playoffs?!"

Meanwhile, JH is talking about how great the senior linebacker corps is.

Don't give direct responses to any media questions, period.

Because corn have ears, and they listen.

With the amount of nepotism in the athletics business, nobody will really bat an eye on it.

I could always tell by the way he ate his Oreos.

Cam Newton: "oh you've been…

Cam Newton: "oh you've been watching some film, huh?"

Social media will still be…

Social media will still be stroking the Buckeye rage boners all month. So there will be no No-Nut-November for them.

This could end up being…

This could end up being another problem. If Conner isn't a countable coach, then what is he, a non-coaching staff member (Article 11.7.2)? If so, should he had been allowed on the sidelines right by the coaches' sides? Non-coaching staff personnel are prohibited from participating in on-field activities, including signaling plays.

There are probably plenty of non-coaching staffers roaming about the sidelines at other teams though.

 

edit: Rule 1.4.b of the NCAA football rulebook allows up to a maximum of 50 individuals besides players to be in the team area on the sidelines. So I guess we're good there.

Because - and assuming there…

Because - and assuming there are no rules against 3rd party scouting (which is what many of us are saying) - it was this guy's job to coordinate the scouting network so it was pretty much done above-board. It's the media that's making it sound nefarious and illegal. 

This is worrisome. Then…

This is worrisome. Then again, you can probably dig through TV archives, run facial recognition technology, and identify plenty of other "non coaching staff" personnel on the team sidelines.

Teams can also have managers who can be present during games but cannot interact with student athletes. The caveat is the manager must be a student as well.

All the changes and…

All the changes and modifications make a little more sense when you look at the final rule and see what was struck out and also read the stated rationale.
