Wow. I was just gonna watch a few mins of this and could not turn it off. It was just a amazing year! I cried when Michigan won the National Championship, and told my family that it made every loss, and every tough year my whole life being a Michigan fan worth it. I was 18 in 97, but 2023 topped 97 for me 10x.
And my whole life I have had people laugh at me for being a Lions fan. Every year I got my hopes up only to be let down hard and usually early in the season. Its truly magical the culture they have going right now. I can't wait to see what they add in the draft! I can't wait to root for both in 2024! So freaking inspiring!
Whole new ball of wax when it comes to baseball. Many of the stars in the early 1900s were just horrible people. Womanizers, alcoholics, drug users, abusive. It really comes down to what the governing body decided vs what the fans feel. I don't think the fans directly have the power, but the game would mean little without the fans. I don't need MLB, or the NCAA to tell me Reggie Bush or Pete Rose were good or bad people. I enjoyed the way they played the game. HOF or not, Rose is the hit king. Heisman or not, Bush was the best player in 2005.
I can see that point, but imo... Bush was still the best player that year. Did getting paid give him any advantage over the other players? Different story when it comes to performance enhancing drugs, which is just impossible to prove now. As far as I know.
Curious about Tuttle. Obviously we don't have details on his injury, but for those in the know... What kind of timeframe would he need to be practicing to be in the competition for the season opener? I understand this is somewhat of a guess, but I am sure some here have a better educated guess than I do.
Just read that out of HS, Tre wanted to play both Basketball and Football at the college level. Played QB and Safety in HS, and was predicted to become a starter in the secondary had he played football. I don't think this means much now, but likely says a lot about his athleticism.
I am pleasantly surprised by the group of recruits coming in so fast, but it sure seems like Dusty knows what he wants and how to get it! Go Blue! Hope this continues and can't wait for the start of the season!
I did watch last years team, and while we had a great running game, we won quite a few games mixing in a well balanced pass offense. If we can't have some balance, then a few loses will come because of it. Last years team was not one dimensional. But not saying this years team will be either as of now. Its just unclear at this point who will step up and make our offense a bit more balanced.
I feel the same after the game than I did going into it. I think our Defense is going to be one of the top defenses in the country again.
I really hope we add depth to OL, and WR. The past two years we brought in a solid starter to bolster the OL. I don't know if we need that, but it won't hurt to add a piece or 2 as depth to continue to dominate the line of scrimmage.
And WR worries me. We are solid, but no one really stands out and we might be a injury away from having some play out of position, or just not having experience on the field.
QB seems like it a big unknown. I have heard many say that we just need a game manager that cuts down on turnovers. We can have a good season with that, but don't see any chance at the playoffs with game manager type QB, or a 2 QB system.
I don't have high expectations from the portal, but hope we can bring in a few to sure up depth and maybe give a spark that ignites the offense. We have to be more than a run heavy offense in todays game if any chance at a Big Ten Title or a Playoff run.
We need a few WR's imo. There will be injuries and just hoping our core stays healthy is not gonna cut it. I would love a true #1 WR (tall, big deep threat), and then a couple depth/special teams guys from the portal.
Very true, but can never have enough depth at OL. We brought in a proven starter the last two years to compliment the depth. Would love to see that again, or at least more backups.
Warren was the #1 QB in this game by far imo. But still need some WR's and would love to see them add depth at OL, and look at any QB in the portal to see if a fit.
I like the culture, and expect some great things to happen this year! But we really need someone to step up as a leader on offense and I think we need to hit the portal hard. WR(starters/depth), OL(starters/depth), and at least look at a QB.
boom... its Michigan! Lets hope this is just the start of great recruiting for Dusty, and the Michigan Basketball Program. I feel like in todays game, $ is going to be the main factor, but would also love to know that players want to be here and play for the coaches and the logo on the uniform and what it stands for!
I can only imagine that this takes some time off the end of your life. Why would someone even want to do this? If I actually met someone that did this, I would not be impressed by them or inspired in any way. I would think they are a bit crazy.
if JJ came back, we are the favorites to win the title. But that didn't happen and the obvious hurdle in the Oregon, Texas, and Ohio St games are about our offense. If we can have a offense that can somehow create balance with the run and pass.... we win. If either has any issues, then it simply comes down to turnovers, field position, special teams, and luck. I still think we have the advantage on the off and def line in these games, but we have to get something out of our QB(s). And we can't lose any game we are supposed to win. Meaning no let down weeks. Gonna have to bring it every week, because even the worst teams are gonna make us their game of the year.
I am forever thankful for the Natty, but he gutted the program. I don't really think of him as a Michigan man anymore. When has any coach ever went back to their roots.... then after success left and raided the cupboards like he has. Even if things work out with the new staff, it just breaks my heart how he didn't just leave for himself... he gutted the staff, and made it tough on the programs future.
I feel like the lions got there when maybe they should not have. Showed up great and could have been in it at the end with a couple fgs they passed up.
But this team is damn young and really wasn't expected to make a run even in the NFC until next year. I think the future is really bright for the LIONS. Its only gonna get better for them with the offseason draft and free agent market. Players want to be here now. Its the place to be if you want to make a impact and win.
I never imagined this. NEVER. It was the greatest day of my life. Its all I ever wanted my entire life in terms of sports. It can't get any better. TEAM 144
Washington has a great Offense for sure! But surprising to me is that the Washington Defense is actually rated below Michigan State. I think our DB's will be tested and give up a few big plays, but we should be able to move the ball on offense at will.
I am not even close to as confident as I was two weeks ago. Our offensive line has not looked like I had hoped. Had issues pass blocking in both of the last two games that need to be fixed. Pass defense looked shaky in zone coverage at times today. We better bring the A game next Sat! Its tough to blow out a team like OSU, but we sure as hell don't want to give them any chance to keep the game close.
Key next week will likely be turnovers, and pts off turnovers. We need to win that battle!
Bet. I don't think it matters if JH is on the sidelines. This kinda sealed the deal for Michigan this year. We will win it all! There is no better motivation than the outside world telling you you can't. I think we will see a different team in the morning. Its on! Michigan vs the WORLD!
Not sure what inspired it, but my mom made us togas similar, but only one solid color in the early 80s. I was young and loved em, but learned fast that you can't raise a leg with socks on.

I am 44. I was maybe 10 at the time, but my grandpa took me to this 2hr baseball clinic somewhere in Oakland County. The 4 instructors were Dave Rozema, Jim Northrup, Gates Brown and Jim Price. I was young, but a diehard baseball fan and Tigers fan. At the time, I had no idea who Jim Price was. He stood out as a person with his energy and passion. While this is only my opinion... the other three were awesome at giving tips on how to improve aspects of my game; Mr Price made me feel like he was only there to see me. I will never forget, and he was one of those individuals in life you just wish could live forever.
Its baseball. 162 games. Tampa will level out and be who they are and so will the tigers. A ton of young talent. Tigers may still compete? As sparky always said... a good judge is the 40 game mark.

I feel like everytime I log on, we have a new commit. Dusty sure ain't no joke when it comes to making it happen! Can't wait to see them on the court!

First glance... he sure looks like a Michigan Man! Welcome young Man!

Wow, Dusty is putting this together fast! Go blue! Seems like these players don't even hesitate on if they want to play for Coach May. I love that!

Orji was limping bad on that run.
Denegal also played OLB in High School and had 3 receptions on offense. Position change?
I feel like a 2 QB approach is admitting that we don't have a true #1

I think there is some good with what the QB's are doing, but dang.... we need to pick up a WR or 3 in the portal.
I hope we see some signs to come for this year, but PLEASE!!!!! No Injuries!
Thanks. Love the list!

I don't usually pay attention to recruits visiting for the spring game, but that list seems really small? I hope there are more that are not listed.
4:30 live on 247 sports. Fingers crossed.
Why can't we have Coach Beilein visit Axel Schultz and Beate Wagner and convince them to have more sons?
I am sure it has nothing to do with JJ's actual play and that he dominated every team as a starter within the game plan.
But Harbaugh gets reads and thats what the media loves.
I actually feel for MSU lately. All the friends I have that are Msu grads or fans are just defeated and think they will never win again at anything.
On another note... F OSU!

I love him for what he did for us, but fuck JH. How in the fu*k do you leave and at this time and screw your team you built.
If you read 11 warriors.... They think they are going to win the Super Bowl with their college recruiting. hahahaha
I never imagined this. NEVER. It was the greatest day of my life. Its all I ever wanted my entire life in terms of sports. It can't get any better. TEAM 144
I shed tears. That was the most amazing things my eyes have ever seen!
wooooooooooooooooo! Fuck yeah team 144!
all about the defense. C'mon Michigan. Shut the damn door!
I never ever in my wildest dreams thought we could start like this. Washington looks confused on offense and defense. I love this team!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe how calm I am. Was nervous from the time I woke up today, but I feel great about this game right now! Bet!
It does feel strange today. I was really confident since the semi final, but now just nervous as the clock slowly ticks.
Go Blue! Let finish what will be the greatest season in my life! Bet!

Not sure what inspired it, but my mom made us togas similar, but only one solid color in the early 80s. I was young and loved em, but learned fast that you can't raise a leg with socks on.
