I just realized I have been…

I just realized I have been on this blog for almost 13 years.  I never bothered to look before this post.  I joined because I was looking for some sort of optimism during the RichRod years. 

 

I didn't realize at the time it would turn me into a Golem-like creature.

Trivia for the day (don't look it up): When was the last time the good guys won 3 in a row?

I have no logical reason why…

I have no logical reason why they would do that and I agree they would have announced that already.  I am just having a hard time coming to terms with our capitulation.

I think it is at least…

I think it is at least possible that after Saturday the BIG backtracks and basically says 2 games was enough Jim can coach on the 25th.

No information to support this, more just hope.

Hey Coach Harbaugh, I am…

Hey Coach Harbaugh, I am sure this is just a back up plan in case Friday doesnt go so well.  If you can't get tickets you can come to my house to watch.

He had to have been hurt, right?

This was the BIG’s plan the whole time, they knew it wouldn’t hold up but now can blame a judge.  COWARDS!

My hunch is that if it a suspension doesn't come this week, it is not coming at all, at least this season.  

I get the feeling this is fizziling very quickly, everybody wants out at this point.

I am not sure what All is…

I am not sure what All is referring to in his tweet and if it is or is not a shot at the football program.  What I do know is that you can have a great culture and still have student-athletes that are not happy for whatever reason.  

We are dealing with 100+ athletes even when culture is great it is not perfect.

Great cultures don’t just…

Great cultures don’t just happen they are created very intentionally.  It takes longer than any coach would want sometimes but usually when you get it right then you take off.  Look at Wooden at UCLA. 

Always makes me smile when I…

Always makes me smile when I read about Garrett Nelson.  I taught him in high school.  He was a man amongst boys but was humble, hardworking and incredibly funny.  Always thought he carried himself like someone who Harbaugh would like.  

Take it easy Francis.

Take it easy Francis.

Is it just me or does it…

Is it just me or does it seem like the OP's several mentions of inbreeding seems like he might be testing the waters to see if we are into it.

As a coach there are times…

As a coach there are times when I have taken the heat for a particularly bad performance. This is at the high school level so maybe a little different.  

I didn’t do it publicly but in the locker room after we had a howler.  It allowed the players to quickly move past the performance and go out and compete much better the next day. 

It is strategy, when used sparingly, can be effective.  Again consider the level of play. 

My father is 72 and he says…

My father is 72 and he says his one remaining wish is that the Lions win a Super Bowl in my lifetime.  I think he is reserved to the fact that it won't happen in his.

I have watched the Redwings,…

I have watched the Redwings, Pistons, Tigers and Liverpool all win championships.  I have watched Michigan win a National Championship in both football and basketball.  The only thing left would be to see the Lions win the Super Bowl, but honestly I would take a playoff win at this point.

56-3 We get vanilla early and often.  We feel nothing afterward.

As far as legacy goes time will decide...

Me however I am pissed, I hope that the Minnesota Vikings fail miserably and never win another game.

I will probably get over it, and I understand that it is irrational but I would be bitter.  I get to be I am an anonymous internet poster.

Outside of what Bacon…

Outside of what Bacon tweeted how do we know that there isn't or isn't going to be a competitive NIL program at Michigan.  Bacon is plugged in and he says it needs to get better but that doesn't mean it won't.  

Am I the only one who would…

Am I the only one who would consider the Harbaugh name seriously tarnished if this happens.  I can't help it.

I became a fan in the early…

I became a fan in the early 90's with Desmond, I took my 10 year old son to his first game this year, away at Nebraska.  He is officially hooked and cried tears of joy when we beat OSU.  I hope this is the start of a life long source of enjoyment for him.  

Next year we will get to Ann Arbor for a game and I hope this is the start of relative parity with OSU and he can enjoy his formative years like I did.

When you start a sentence with "I'm not trying to make excuses...." you are about to make excuses.  Its kind of like starting a sentence with "Not to be racist but.....

I would very much enjoy this.  I cut my teeth here on that video.  Somebody make it happen.

Probably be #1 for me it has been a long 15-16 years.  I remember 1997, I remember 2003.  I know our luck is not as bad as it sometime feels but I feel like we are due.

Wow how did I miss that.  I just assumed it was the band.  I will admit Bo was before my time and I grew up with Lloyd but I considered myself fairly well versed in Schembechler lore.

Strangely enough my favorite part of this has always been what I can only assume to be a tuba or trumpet player just losing it and just tooting his/her horn over and over

I always liked the Haymarket area close to the stadium.  The Endzone is a personal favorite.

Track and XC are the worst play team sports while you can.

I ran a 6:54 mile on a treadmill the other day and I had to get out an AED and shock myself.  Can't even begin to imagine running more than 1 mile at this pace.  Really incredible.

Agree that is is better now…

Agree that is is better now then what it used to be.  But again I ask what % of teams are now essentially playing exhibition games for the rest of the season going into week 5.  I quick look says 107 of the roughly 130 teams already have a loss.  

I would argue that no other sport would basically eliminate 80% of their participants a third of the way into the season.

 

It was awesome and maybe the…

It was awesome and maybe the title of the thread leaves something to be desired...the game is actually better than ever, but the scheduling and post season system seems outdated.

The question is simple is Notre Dame's season basically over now after the loss?  If the answer is even maybe then the whole system needs could use some adjustments.

Uhhh...I guess that is my…

Uhhh...I guess that is my point would it be better if they opened it up a bit?

 

Pushing 40 agree I don't…

Pushing 40 agree I don't take it nearly as serious as I used too.

Still, considering that I am a Lions and Tigers fan, losing has never been rare.  I take those in stride easily but Michigan football losing...that is another level.

Man I would love about a 4…

Man I would love about a 4 hour delay right at the start I am busy and hate watching recorded games.

Couple that with trying to avoid score updates and I would love a 3:00 pm game

I think poor weather/field…

I think poor weather/field conditions almost always favor the underdog.  In this case I am not sure there is a major difference between to the two teams so I am not sure how much it I will affect either.

But when there is a significant talent gap I think poor weather can be a great equalizer.

Its Thursday but Dwight thinks its Friday.

That whole institution is a farty dirt patch.  I can't decide who is worse them or PSU, at least PSU accepted some responsibility.

Rumor hit yesterday in the OL health post.  Line has been at 3.5 most of the week. 

 

Can't imagine that this was the cause of the early week movement, now if it suddenly jumps to like 7....

Sorry not sure if intended…

Sorry not sure if intended for me but the point being that the line didn't move due to rumored injury.

I thought that happened…

I thought that happened before the rumor came out?
