I'm confused.  I saw over on RCMB that he was a bust.  What happened?

I’d love to se him sign the extension on the podium immediately before accepting the trophy. What a glorious F… you!

We don’t need your f**kin signals

I haven't stopped smiling…

I haven't stopped smiling since I saw the planting of the flag and loved reading your game summary but your experience is somewhat limited.  Look back at ND-USC in 1974.  Notre Dame led 24-7 at halftime after giving up a late touchdown; the second half was a complete beatdown with USC scoring 55 unanswered points.

This wasn't some old timers game in leather helmets as both teams had vibrant passing games.  I say this for those who are picturing me sitting in my rocking chair.

Beat Purdue!

Malcom Gladwell produced an…

Malcom Gladwell produced an excellent podcast on this subject a few years ago.  I believe it was limited to undergraduate schools.  Students hacked into the ranking algorithm and revealed a number of serious biases that pumped up the rankings of wealthy schools while hurting the rankings of poorer schools.

Saved me the trouble of a long post.  This D will not stop OSU

This is what happens when a one dimensional team can’t execute its strong suit.

It’s a vicious cycle. We don…

It’s a vicious cycle. We don’t develop great WBs or WRs so it becomes more difficult to recruit at these positions.

This stubborn streak with RZ…

This stubborn streak with RZ play calling will hurt us against good teams.  I know Harbaugh wants to impose his will but this is getting old.

I thought of a suitable…

I thought of a suitable punishment for Sparty.  Make them bowl ineligible this year-wait a minute, that won’t work.  I’ll have to work on it.

The academic comment is the…

The academic comment is the kiss of death.  We’ve had multiple prospects make that claim and ultimately commit to Bama, LSU, or Oklahoma.

i don’t mind losing recruits to Stanford,ND,or any other legitimate academic powerhouse but please …LSU and SC.  

The problem is that if…

The problem is that if Sparty keeps playing like this they’ll only have one goal left to achieve this season.

So I guess Stroud is the…

So I guess Stroud is the best college qb when he has 3 nfl caliber receivers as targets.  Let him only have young 5 star recruits and he comes back to earth.

I think the worst part of a…

I think the worst part of a relationship with Ms Kardashian would be listening to her whiny voice.  Of course there is an obvious way of avoiding that issue.

If we actually did throw the…

If we actually did throw the ball more it would go a long way in recruiting the kind of QBs who recently have been leaving Michigan for other programs.

I don’t see ND joining the…

I don’t see ND joining the BIG with the current divisions.  They would never agree to play OSU, PSU, Sparty, and us every year.

A workaround would put them in the West since they already play USC.  The brains that run the conference could put Wiscy and Purdue or Iowa in the East just to make our lives miserable.

I’m waiting for the day when…

I’m waiting for the day when a kid earns more than his coach.

I’d like a clarification of this to avoid getting genuinely upset.

Wasn’t trying to blame Cade-merely saying we need a difference maker at that position

May be due to playing…

May be due to playing against a better caliber of athlete.

I would hazard a guess that…

I would hazard a guess that virtually no one played well tonight (perhaps excluding Dax).  I think it’s apparent that to be a champion we need a QB who is more than a game manager.

I appreciate what Cade has done but we need JJ to be given control of the offense next year.

 

 

 

Despite his previous…

Despite his previous comments about ND being his dream job I don’t see Urban going there.  First he would have to admit he failed in the NFL and second he knows the guys in South Bend do have to play skool.

I understand long drives…

I understand long drives that keep OSU off the field but we can't keep burning these early downs.

We're just asking them to come after McNamara on 3rd down.

We need a repeat of 1969 to…

We need a repeat of 1969 to win, meaning interceptions and mental errors.

 We can’t stop them, only they can stop themselves.

 On offense I would like to see Corum and Edwards used simultaneously with both of them coming out of the backfield.  
 

Please don’t burn first downs.

Ron English told the story…

Ron English told the story of his recruitment on WTKA with Sam a couple of years ago.

It was one of the best recruiting stories I've ever heard.  I was surprised at the details he revealed

   but I think he thought he was out of football so it didn't matter.

The bottom line was that English assumed the Michigan commitment was a done deal until he was

    told the serious money players had yet to be heard from.

You can’t run up the gut…

You can’t run up the gut against a stacked front.  Almost everyone knows that-the problem is that few that don’t seem to work in Ann Arbor.  It worked against Washington because of the defense they played;  it didn’t work against Rutgers because of how they schemed.

If you’re afraid to throw and don’t have any perimeter running game who do you plan on beating?  All this talk about OSU being vulnerable is misplaced.  This was as close to a train wreck as we could be without actually losing.

Please tell me how you…

Please tell me how you recruit QBs and WRs with the kind of offense we demonstrated last night.

This staff squandered a tremendous WR recruiting class a few years back; there is no reason to         believe a similarly talented group of athletes would ever sign on to what we saw last night.

You may want to celebrate a victory over an injury riddled team-I see better teams in our                 future who will have no trouble with our one dimensional approach.  Instead of "waiting until the       problem materializes itself in a meaningful way" with losses to our rivals, I think it is prudent to         discuss those issues now.

I will assume you haven't forgotten our records against Wiscy, PSU, Sparty, and of course OSU.

The ABC broadcasters talked…

The ABC broadcasters talked about the motivational signs that ask “what did you do today to beat OSU?”

I would put that same question to the coaches.  Nothing in that game plan was designed to defeat a strong team, especially a two dimensional one.

I doubt if we can run that way against any good Big 10 team.  Imagine OSU passing against what we saw last night.

What kind of message do you send to your QB and receivers with that game plan?  Yes a win is a win but we should be building up to something, not backing down.  Please don’t tell me the injury to Bell eviscerated our passing attack.

 

So how badly would we lose…

So how badly would we lose if they had good coaching?

Regardless of what happens…

Regardless of what happens going forward this season is a success.  Best part of tonight’s game was watching them come back; that kind of mental toughness is sorely lacking in at least one of our fall teams.

Too bad the “co BIG champ” couldn’t do a better job of repping the conference

 Caputo is legitimately ignorant regardless of the topic.  I once asked Wojo how someone with such poor language skills (Pat C) could write for a living and he wouldn’t answer.

I'm waiting for undervalued…

I'm waiting for undervalued companies to merge and create a real powerhouse-my first thought is for Gamestop and Blockbuster Video to get together.  I would ride that rocket to the moon!

Don't forget Michael Burry …

Don't forget Michael Burry (Big Short fame) who purchased large amounts of Gamestop months ago for his hedge fund (Scion Capital).  This was public knowledge in the late fall and the stock began a slow upwards move.  I don't know if he's bailed on it yet but he came out this week and said it was ridiculous. I wouldn't be surprised to learn he sold his position the next time his holdings are revealed.

It’s been stated here before…

It’s been stated here before that we can achieve a similar level of success as ND (although they have an advantage in not seeing OSU every year).

Would the fans be happy with occasionally making the playoffs and then being revealed as pretenders?

I don’t believe we’ll compete with the elites unless they stumble with future coaching hires.  Even then USC and FSU may be back on top with their next hire.

Let’s not forget how our “elite” 2006 team looked against USC in the Rose Bowl.

I don’t remember Bama…

I don’t remember Bama players getting in trouble off the field.  Do you think Sabin runs a tight ship or is everything covered up down there?

So Fickell’s clock…

So Fickell’s clock management is about as impressive as that of JH.  If we’re going to change coaches let’s make it an upgrade.

Even if he leads them to a…

Even if he leads them to a title and wins the MVP award you know his name would be misspelled.

Hey jackass-the physicians…

Hey jackass-the physicians in my pediatric office received our first doses last week and our staff will get theirs in early January.

Furthermore we applied to be an administration site for the Moderna vaccine.

I would gladly compare our median intelligence or professional scores to yours.

I do acknowledge your pizza delivery ability far outstrips mine.

What did Saleh do to piss off these legislators?  

ESPN lists possible…

ESPN lists possible replacements for Mason and no fewer than five of the names have been mentioned as replacements for Harbaugh on this board.  Are we now at the level of competing with Vanderbilt for coaching talent?

This is what bothers me the…

This is what bothers me the most.  It’s as though they expect to lose and the first negative event (turnover, penalty) reinforces the expectation.

I watched a “bad” MSU team flying all over the field on defense against NW yesterday.  They didn’t miss tackles and played hard even though there was “nothing” on the line.  They had enough heart to rally after losing a 17 point lead.  Would we ever expect to see this from a Michigan team?

It looks as though the…

It looks as though the coaches have lost the team.  There’s no coming back from that point.

So now we get it back-so…

So now we get it back-so what.  Our clock management rules out a score.
