this seems suboptimal! what a bummer for him and us.

it's also a crazy amount of vertical (and descent) per loop, i think 10,000+ ft of each usually, and a lot of annoying route-finding on very little sleep. it seems like a totally bonkers experience.

had a bit more faith in this blog but i don't know how that "question" has 77 likes. embarrassing stuff.

Always knew Chris Stapleton…

Always knew Chris Stapleton was too good to be true.

This was not the off season…

This was not the off season I had in mind.

 

moving to a player/coach…

moving to a player/coach model. with commensurate salary. we're really gonna clean up in the portal once this is announced. have faith!

Why would they do that? Pay…

i don't see the point of just throwing money at people to keep the staff together. at least not based on what the fans know. neither elston nor clink have been DCs and we at least have no idea whether they're worth that kind of money. maybe folks inside the program know they'd be great and in that case maybe it's worth the risk of elevating one or both. but paying both of them nearly a million bucks seems kind of bonkers to me.

I like a lot of their stuff…

I like a lot of their stuff and many of the fabrics seem a notch above what others use. But I had an issue with pilling & nearly immediate fading of the logo on the 1/4 zip I bought from them and they were basically like "the pilling is not an issue that we'd issue a replacement for, but here's a 20% off coupon." wasn't ideal. it's made me slightly less interested in buying their stuff.

Tuned in briefly after I got home from dinner but I can't do it. It's just not fun when we look like this.

i mean there's a little something against balas, presumably? he flings a lot of pickles at the window & they don't all stick.

Will Campbell is still in school???

Wild that we can't get this…

Wild that we can't get this game on a channel worth paying for.

i think actively…

i think interviewing for (sometimes multiple) NFL jobs every year indicates that to me. not to you? i suppose he could be doing this for contract leverage (given his fairly uncertain contract status over each of the past 3 off seasons), but that's not how it seems.

i could tell brian was a bit…

i could tell brian was a bit annoyed by the people who are like "i'd rather he just leave if he's gonna do this every year" but that's how i feel. harbaugh brought me the greatest years in my michigan fandom (probably true for most of us) but if he truly wants to be back in the NFL, as he seems to, i'd rather he just rip off the band-aid after the national championship, which probably gives us the best chance to move forward with some year-over-year stability.

Cool thread.

Cool thread.

usually! this round of merch…

usually! this round of merch feels a bit phoned in to me. i hope maybe they have another shirt or two coming where they didn't lock the designers in a room during a commercial break to get the result :)

Lol. I deleted my account…

Lol. I deleted my account last year but every time I follow a link back to a tweet there I'm astonished at how bad the replies have gotten in the last few years. It's literally 50% people trying to sell you cheap dumb shirts.

IMO Homefield makes great…

IMO Homefield makes great stuff and usually with a bit more design flare than other places. Worth checking out to see if you like them. I'm a bit underwhelmed by their national champion designs for us but the shirts/sweatshirts they use are a notch nicer/softer than your average blanks.

They also, very reasonably,…

They also, very reasonably, want to play in an offense that's going to feature their skills for the NFL. We don't really offer that right now.

Maybe? Feels like we haven't…

Maybe? Feels like we haven't really gotten much recruiting juice from being in the top 4 teams the last 3 years.

Washington certainly did…

Washington certainly did have some battles against...Arizona State. And Stanford.

I haven't seen much evidence…

I haven't seen much evidence that the coaches are prepared to deviate from what they've done all year. But I would love to be pleasantly surprised. I honestly think we're gonna lose by 2 TDs. But am excited to see what we've put together to try to avoid that. Go Blue.

he's snuck into the late…

he's snuck into the late first round in a lot of mock drafts. he does seem to like school but i'd be very surprised if he came back.

dante moore just committed…

dante moore just committed to oregon even though dillon gabriel also just committed there for his final year. so he's clearly fine not starting next year.

the athletic department's…

the athletic department's flagship teams both appear to be a bit of a mess. thank god we're actually good at football right now.

well that's funny to me

well that's funny to me

Just checked. Confirmed it’s…

You high? 

It doesn’t feel much…

It doesn’t feel much different than last year at this point. Weaknesses not improving, awful in end of game situations. I really let that St John’s game get me too high on this team.

9pm tip is wild stuff. Very glad I'm in Denver.

I think that was exclusively people on message boards.

who is this dude? he looks like all the rando #resistence accounts that accumulated 50k followers during trump's presidency except he appears to mostly tweet about michigan sports and i hadn't seen his stuff at all until signgate.

apparently julian fleming also in the portal: https://twitter.com/TomVH/status/1731718474160869759?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet

underrated reference (no matter how many likes it picks up)

If Michigan beats Alabama…

If Michigan beats Alabama and then Texas or Washington nobody is gonna be talking about FSU’s bowl game. 

The way we are playing on…

The way we are playing on offense I am expecting us to get smoked by anybody we play next. That may be the BPONE IPAs I’ve been drinking but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Yeah this is real gross …

Yeah this is real gross (aesthetically and morally).

is it weird that the last…

is it weird that the last two winners are at...cincinnati? down couple years for high school talent in that state or is there something strange about the voting that is not obvious?

this stuff makes me wish we…

this stuff makes me wish we hadn't invented computers.

I don't blame him! We've got…

I don't blame him! We've got our most talented QB since I've been a Michigan fan and the offense is not designed to showcase his skills. I get why, and it's hard to argue with the W-L record over the past two years, but it seems like the optics are probably hard to overcome for top QBs and WRs. You'd think maybe the calculus would be different for a local kid, but it appears to not be different enough.

Lol. The preferred insult of…

Lol. The preferred insult of actual live in your mom’s basement incels. Awesome stuff. 

lol this sucks. does not…

lol this sucks. does not inspire confidence for the next 7 minutes but especially not for next week.

Seems unlikely that happens…

Seems unlikely that happens in game 10 once we play the best team we’ve faced all year. 

this is pretty childish…

this is pretty childish stuff! i see why your mgopoints total is the way it is.

lol. one of the reasons i…

lol. one of the reasons i don't subscribe to the recruiting sites is they're full of this kind of stuff.

Is that evidence other…

Is that evidence other coaches were involved? Files on a shared drive? Idk, man. Maybe more evidence that somebody *should have* known if they didn't? But you look at most corporate Google Drive situations and it's chaotic as fuck with hundreds of things in each folder and no organization. This is gonna make for a sick 6-part (3 parts too long) Netflix show in a few years tho. 

Ditto. I've been having this…

Ditto. I've been having this issue fairly persistently for months.

maybe log out for a few hours.

This has been true for me on my mobile iOS Chrome and Firefox for months. It sucks.

I'd hope folks could separate the two things. Don't think he left in the most gracious way, but he's still a kid and I hate this news for him. (Judging by the comments so far, people are being remarkably cool about it. Go us.)
