Well MLB does have "signs of…

Well MLB does have "signs of life." Pitchers and catchers should report for spring training around the middle of February, with games beginning later in the month --- then openiing day won't be far off. The beginning of a new season when "hope springs eternal."

As an Atlanta Braves fan (Yes, I still have a warm spot for the Tigers, whom I followed religiously in the Al Kaline era) I see that a strengthened bullpen, another LH starter (Chris Sale from the Red Sox) and an everday left-fielder (Jarred Kelenic from the Mariners) will improve an already loaded lineup. Assuming season-long health, there shouldn't be another playoff swoon to the Phillies this year --- Go Braves!

No, Jay does not sit at the…

No, Jay does not sit at the Harbaugh's Big Person's table --- not yet, anyway. Only those who've head-coached a championship season sit there. Jay may gain a seat someday, but not yet. 

Anyway, the big question is whether Jay's dad's quest for big-seat status is over, or whether dad will seek an additional seat as head coach of a Super Bowl Champion. Like many of his Michigan players at the end of this season, Jim is obviously asking himself, "what more can I accomplish at this level?" Nick Saban is apparently content with numerous CFC rings, but he failed miserably at the pro level; he has no desire to return. Jim on the other hand took a team to the Super Bowl; he's shown he can get a team to that level, but just hasn't yet secured the Big Enchilada.

With all the pro coaching vacancies opening up now, the temptation might be greater than ever to take the leap. And who could blame Jim if he does? Go Blue.

A dry January --- or at…

A dry January --- or at least a "damp" January --- is a good investment in yourself. In addition to rehabbing the liver, alcohol abstinence even for one month is said to promote better sleep, weight loss, and blood pressure reduction, among other benefits (saving a little $ for one). My January drink of choice? --- sugar-free Gatorade. 

And by the way --- I'm 85 years of age (note I did not say "85 years old"). I believe one of the reasons I've made it this far is that I've generally (not always) treated alcohol with a fair amount of caution. Anyway, try going alcohol-free, even for a few weeks; you might be pleasantly surprised at the results. Go Blue!

Shades of Sonny Sixkiller! I…

Shades of Sonny Sixkiller! I guess he played in the 1970 game which M won 17-3. Anyway, I agree with others that M pounding the rock for long, sustained, time-consuming scoring drives will be the best defense against the Huskies. Keep Penix on the pine and Go Blue!

Glad Orji was mentioned,…

Glad Orji was mentioned, Mullings should have been mentioned also. M will need both these big (>6', >230 lbs) guys to pound the rock and dispell Blake a bit. Hope to see both as real contributors on Monday. 

Next season's new alignment…

Next season's new alignment is but one more evolutionary step toward a Premier League, in my humble opinion. Someday in the (maybe not so distant) future, a league of 20 or so teams will play maybe 14 games, with one legacy game protected and a revolving schedule against the other teams (but not two games against the same opponent in the same season). Basically, a season-long playoff. And because all league teams will be the best, no points are given or deducted for SOS. M will play tOSU every year but maybe not MSU, even assuming they're not relegated. The team with the most end-of season points is the national champion, without the need for a playoff.  Or something like that. Go Blue.

From her western, "cowgirl"…

From her western, "cowgirl" upbringing, to her Stanford (not Ivy League) education, and to her time in the Arizona Senate, Sandra O'Connor lived a life different from most of her SCOTUS colleagues. She did not graduate from Harvard or Yale, she did not clerk for a Supreme Court Justice, she did not at some point secure a federal district court judgeship, and did not rise to a federal appellate court then to the Supreme Court, which is the insulated path some of today's justices have taken. In other words, she received many years worth of paychecks that were not issued by the federal government and brought many years of real-world experience to the Court. That made her contributions to American jurisprudence all the more valuable. RIP.

Well there you go. Again if…

Again if it was Judge Kuhnke hearing the TRO request, one point that must have crossed her mind, especially after the BIG filed an appearance, is the media/public reaction to an immediate order from a home-town court allowing Jim to coach --- especially when the "irreparable harm" element might be an uphill battle. She really had to let this matter play out, at least for a week, to ensure fairness to both parties (even though similar courtesies were not extended to our University). Further, my guess is that her decision wasn't made in a vacuum; she consulted with her fellow judges and a thorough discussion preceded her ruling. Go Blue.

How was Stalions' data used…

How was Stalions' data used and by whom?. Did Stalions attend a coaches meeting and say something like, "Every time their QB sees this symbol from the sidelines, he'll roll out right and throw to the tight end." If a  coach asks "how do you know that?," Stalions says, "Because I had a friend of mine go to their game against ___ and record all their offensive series."

At that point wouldn't someone suggest such recording of a live game might violate NCAA rules? Wouldn't the coaches then notify the compliance people and say "we've got a problem." To conclude the coaches would just cover it up and use the data anyway defies logic, in my opinion. And if Stalions' data weren't used at all, or if in answer to the coach's question Stalions lied and said he just watched a provided video over and over again (that did not include the sideline symbols) and "just figured it out," to what extent does either scenario implicate the coaching staff? 

A lot of unanswered questions.

I go back to a time when it…

I go back to a time when it might have been slightly easier to infiltrate Fort Knox than to smuggle a Canadian Club traveler into Spartan Stadium. Now this fall --- for several games anyway --- Spartan fans can chug-a-lug in the stadium, in front of the entire world.

Meanwhile, in AA, during that same ancient history period of which I speak, we could bring coolers in the student section and mix Martinis while the Blue fought fiercely (but with Bump Elliott as coach, in many games not too successfully).

Now Spartan Stadium sells alcoholic beverages while Michigan Stadium prohibits them. "Plus ça change plus c'est la même chose," kinda sorta. Go alcohol-free Blue!

Seth, of course I'm prejudiced, as are many others on this blog, but with your son at C.S. Mott, he couldn't be in better hands. Go Blue and Go Son of Seth.

We made that 1986 M Alumni…

We made that 1986 M Alumni Assn trip to Hawaii. The game was OK --- I thought at the time that the team suffered from a little residual jet-lag, and the game was after a tough win against the tOSU, so maybe the whole exercise was somewhat anticlimactic as well. But M, led by All-American QB Jim Harbaugh, carried the day.

Anyway, the following day, Sunday, December 7th, happened to be the 45th anniversary of the Japanese attack. The Pearl Harbor Survivors Association had gathered in full force, and I had a chance to speak with several of them, including one who served on the light cruiser USS Detroit. And of course the trip out to the USS Arizona was paticularly moving. All in all, a great trip.

One more note. Kenny Higgins played end on the '86 team. He forwent his final year of eligibility because he had been accepted by the Harvard Law School. The Free Press then ran the headline, "Bo loses player to academics." 

When Spielberg cautions…

When Spielberg cautions about franchise films he should look around his glass house before casting stones. He didn't direct the latest "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" but it was very much his brainchild. My wife and I went recently as part of a group outing to see it: a rehashed plot --- yet another ancient device or system that if completed could provide some latter-day Nazi or whomever with the power to rule the world. And every other change of scene involved a stunt that should have killed all involved yet all emerged without a scratch --- sorry, but my sense of disbelief was never willingly suspended.

The only good line in the whole film was when this young man who was interested in aviation asked an obviously aged Harrison Ford whether he knew the Wright brothers. Ford replied that "the Wright brothers were born during the Civil War!" (not quite true -- they were born immediately after the Civil War). Anyway, the young man said "Well, I just wondered whether you went to school with them." That was it --- the rest of the film was formulaic and uninteresting.

But I look forward to returning to the theatre for my twice-a-year visit to see "Oppenheimer" --- an "adult film" (in a good way) about a real-life genius and his severe angst over constructing a bomb that would kill hundreds of thousands of innocents and change the world forever, as well as the political fallout from that angst that tainted him for the remainder of his life. My kind of movie.

You almost have to be of a certain age to remember Drake's Sandwich Shop on North U; I understand it closed in the early nineties. But it was a quick J-walk across the street from the Nat Sci building and an ideal place for lunch or for whiling away a late afternoon with some "certain someone."

A good cartoon in a recent New Yorker issue features whip-wielding robots driving two humans carrying rocks on their backs. One human turns to the other and says: "To think this all began with letting autocomplete finish our sentences."

Don't worry, be happy, things will work out.

Looking (down) at the players who would surround him next season, especially with Jett gone, Kobe maybe, and who knows who else, Hunter probably thought he'd try the portal and maybe improve his profile. Who knows? --- he might land with a national contender and burnish his --- apparently questionable --- NBA skills.

But the question now is, what's in store for Michigan's '23 - '24 team? At this pointt the outlook seems less than auspicious

Anyway, good luck to HD.

And thank you for posting this --- beat me to it by a mile. It's such a common error that its miscreant perpetrators should be called out every time "it's" is misued.

I unfortunately was in the…

I unfortunately was in the Trohl Center stands on that fateful Saturday in 2013 when Brust heaved the basketball half-court to tie the game. My recollection (these days, admittedly, not what it used to be) is that Beilein sent out freshman Caris LeVert to guard Brust on the throw in. What the coach’s instructions to young LeVert were I don’t know, but might have been something like “don’t foul him.” Seems to me that if LeVert did foul, Brust could have made all three shots and tied the game. If LeVert fouled Brust and the shot still found its way into the bucket, Brust’s one additional FT could have won the game.  So FWIW, ‘ol Ben had a pretty much unopposed look when he launched the ball.

But however one slices it, the fact that the ball did find its way into the basket was near-miraculous. HD’s three-pointer yesterday was, as some have already said, an NBA-distance bomb. After he received the ball, he dribbled once, squared up, and launched. Two different efforts.

Still, the common thread is that in Madison back then, M thought it had the game won. Brust’s bomb emptied enough wind from M’s sails that it affected their overtime mojo — as it appeared to me at the time. Same with the Badgers yesterday — HD’s shot basically snatched defeat from the jaws of victory and demoralized them to the point that they weren’t quite the same team in OT. So in that sense, HD’s effort evened the score. Go Blue.

Quote: "We started as…

Quote: "We started as college for applied agriculture."

Actually the Morrill Act of 1862, enacted during the depths of the Civil War and also referred to as the Land Grant College Act of 1862, granted 30,000 acres of land to "each loyal state" to establish a college to teach “agriculture and the mechanic arts”; “mechanic arts” also at times written as “applied science,” and military science (ROTC). "Applied agriculture” is redundant — of course agriculture is primarily a hands-on, practical subject. The “mechanic arts” is the one that denotes application, as in “applied science.” The “applied science” engineering that Land Grant colleges were mandated to teach was that which had practical (mostly agricultural) value, such as designing a better deep-furrow plow or improved threshing machine. 

So yes, from its inception Michigan Agricultural College's mission was first to teach agriculture, then practical-use engineering (leave theoretical science to others, such as to that University in Ann Arbor) and finally teach students to become army officers (remember that in 1862 most colleges were all-male, and the army needed men).

The advocacy or actual teaching of political or “deep state” conspiracies to undermine one of the great public universities in the world is well outside the Morrill Act mandate.

 

 

 

Happy USMC Birthday from an …

Happy USMC Birthday from an "Old Corps" Marine. Our Basic School class was the first to transition from the M-1 to the M-14. I carried the same M1911 Colt .45 my father carried in the Army Air Corps during WW II --- in the 60s the .45 was still the standard issue sidearm. For any of you who served in Nam, J.J. Carroll, posthumous Navy Cross recipient and for whom artillery support base Camp Carroll was named, was a close friend and as fine a Marine officer as ever came out of Quantico. Semper Fi.

By my count, Cade appeared in 4 games in 2020, appeared in all games in 2021, and so far this year, has appeared in 3 games. Given that the 4-game "redshirt" limit began in 2018, if Cade plays in only one more or no more games this year, he will preserve what should be 3 years of eligibility to play elsewhere, if that's his (and Harbaugh's) goal.

There's no doubt now that it's JJ's huddle for the next two seasons (burned his redshirt in 2021)

 

All I remember of the 2015 M…

All I remember of the 2015 M-MSU game is freezing my tail off in the stands and the Jourdan Lewis- Aaron Burbridge battle. I kept my binoculars on the two of them virtually the entire game. Cook completed nine of about 20 attempts to Burbridge for 139 yards and no TDs. Cook only had about a 46% (18/39) completion rate for the game. Many of those incompletions then were attempts to throw to Burbridge over Lewis. As good a contest between a good receiver and a great defender as you'll see in college football.

Looks like Burbridge only lasted about 3 years in the NFL while Lewis is still with the Cowboys, albeit apparently suffering a season-ending injury Sunday against the "mighty" Detroit Lions.

Anyway, I've repressed thoroughly any other aspects of the 2015 M-MSU game.

A Google search reveals that "Petras" is an ancient Minoan town currently the site of an archeological dig. "Petras" is clearly (IMHO) related to πέτρα (petra), the Greek word for "rock,"  which also seems to describle Petras's QB mobility.

HD's NIL market should be…

HD's NIL market should be very high (I might even buy one of his jerseys, size large). Is it possible that he could structure an NIL deal so lucrative that he might consider another year? Kofi Cockburn stayed for his junior year, and it didn't seem to hurt his draft stock much --- quite the contrary, in fact. I watched part of the Chattanooga (a 13-seed) game; Kofi went 6 of 12 from the floor and pulled down 13 REBs. Yes, I know: HD against TN (a 3-seed) went 8 of 13 from the floor, including 3 triples out of five attempts, and 8 of 10 FTs for 27 points and 11 REBs --- an impressive performance.

Still, think what Hunter could do next year with Frankie, Mussa (is he going anywhere?), and Caleb all grown up and his pockets stuffed with NIL money. I'd like to believe he'll a least give it some thought.

I am a fan of Mary Sue…

I am a fan of Mary Sue Coleman. I met her a couple times --- albeit briefly --- and came away with a high opinion of her. My view is that Mary Sue will take a "zero tolerance" approach to the Madison incident if the investigation turns out that Juwan was at fault, provoked or unprovoked, and Warde Manuel notwithstanding.

I'll just say I wouldn't want to be on Mary Sue's wrong side.

For me, this game against…

For me, this game against the Bulldogs was reminiscent of the 2002 Citrus Bowl --- a game I attended. M's opponent Tennessee was still reeling from a wholly unexpected loss to LSU in the SEC championship game and definitely had something to prove. The Volunteers that year were loaded with early-round draft choices, including TE Jason Witten, who was destined to star for many seasons with the Dallas Cowboys. In that Citrus Bowl game Jason outran the entire M secondary while scoring on a 64-yard pass from Casey Clauson. We in the stands knew an already long day had become even longer. Final score: Tenn 45, M 17.

To say the Bulldogs were fired up for this game is an understatement. They were determined to take care of business with Michigan and clear the way for a rematch with their Alabama nemesis. Like the 2002 Citrus Bowl, our guys were outmatched. But they fought to the end and left Florida with good vibes for next fall --- Go Blue!

Be careful here --- William…

Be careful here --- William Tecumseh Sherman was born in New Lancaster, Ohio, on February 8, 1820. Although tOSU was yet to raise its ugly head in Columbus, one could argue that his Ohio birth still makes Sherman a Buckeye, well, sort of.  

Haskins rushed for 13 first…

Haskins rushed for 13 first-half yards. Mr Gattis, how do we improve on that stat in the second half?

As I've mentioned here…

As I've mentioned here previously, I'm old enough to have attended the '69 game. I believe the stats will show that tOSU committed six (6) INTs in that game, and lost one fumble. M's Barry Pierson snagged three of those INTs, in addition to returning a punt to the enemy's three-yard line, which set up one of the three TDs M scored in the first half. In fact, all of the scoring occurred in the first half, leading to a 24-12 M victory.

I'm afraid it's gonna take several unlikely miscues on the Buckeye's part to bring about a miraculous upset like 69's. In that regard, I'm reminded of a line in one of my favorite films, 1943's Casablanca, in which Sidney Greenstreet says to Paul Henreid and Ingrid Bergman, who are desperately attempting to leave: "We might as well be frank, Monsieur. It'll take a miracle to get you out of Casablanca. And the Germans have outlawed miracles." Our guys will put up a good fight, but --- barring miracles --- the final score will look something like 42-28 in favor of the accursed Buckeyes. Go Blue.

 

Any comparison between the…

Any comparison between the Brady/Henson and McNamara and McCarthy experience at Michigan is tenuous at best. My recollection is that when Lloyd Carr recruited Henson, Carr had to agree to a deal brokered by Henson’s ex-football coach father that Carr would not recruit any other QBs that year (1998). And Drew Henson had already signed a $2M BB contract with the Yankees. Jokes abounded around AA regarding who would pick up the tab when Henson and a bunch of his team members crowded into some pizza place.

In Henson’s first year (1998), Bentley’s archives lists Brady as the starter for all 13 games, including the Citrus Bowl win over Arkansas. The following year — Brady’s last — Brady started 12 games, including the overtime win against Alabama in the Orange Bowl; Henson apparently started one. I don’t know whether “forced” is the appropriate word, but Carr interchanged Brady and Henson liberally during that season. Although early in the season Brady was named the nominal starter, he would play one quarter, Henson the other, then Carr would decide who had the “hot hand” and who then would start the second half. But after a loss to Illinois, Carr named Brady the starter for the rest of the season. See The Tom Brady and Drew Henson QB Battle at Michigan - Maize n Brew. This arrangement was a one-off deal, whose circumstances could hardly be duplicated during any other season. Coach Jim doing anything close to it is pretty much unthinkable.

2000 was the year Henson fractured a bone in his foot and John Navarre started the first four games. Henson finished the season, including the 31-32 loss in West Lafayette against a Purdue QB named Brees or some such. But perhaps Henson’s finest game in a Michigan uniform was the 38-26 win at Columbus. After that George Steinbrenner called Henson away to honor his baseball obligations. Again, a unique situation that hardly compares to today. JJ will get his reps, but barring injury, it’s Cade’s huddle. Go Blue.

 

Yeah, I'm old. I remember…

Yeah, I'm old. I remember the Tigers '68 world series victory. I believe it was the last "old-time" series before divisional play and before the games were played at night. I remember Freehan (I was at M the same time he was), Kaline, Northrup, McClain, Lolich, and the whole bunch. I particularly remember that the Tigers, like last night's Astros, had also been down three games to one before storming back to win the next three.

I moved to Atlanta in the late 90s and became a Braves fan because 1) I'm a traditionalist and never liked the DH (although I think I'm going to have to like it come next season) and 2) because I thought the Braves front office was very baseball-savvy and well managed (unlike, through many years, the Tigers).

So even though the Braves were up 3-2 going into last night's game, the great Tiger comback of '68 was still with me, and I was concerned about Max Fried's shaky starts in his two previous  appearances. 

Turns out I had nothing much to worry about. Max dominated the vaunted Astros hitters through six innings and especially Jorge, Dansby, and Freddie supplied the home runs to win the game easily. The achievement is all the more remarkable given the mid-season loss of star Ronald Acuña Jr. and early-season loss of starting pitcher Mike Soroka.

A job well done by GM Alex Anthopoulos, Manager Brian Snitker, and the whole Braves organization.

A sort of PowerPoint:

M is…

A sort of PowerPoint:

  • M is 7-1 and ranked in the top 10
  • M scored 33 points last Saturday against another nationally ranked team, usually more than enough points to win. 
  • M has had trouble with misdirection all season (Rutgers, Nebraska, Northwestern)
  • KWIII (a Heisman hopeful?) was misdirection on steroids; add the late 4th-Qtr TOs and M couldn't quite get it done, despite Cade's career day. That's football.
  • M is still a very good football team; its potential is 11-1, but more likely 10-2 with a good showing against the accursed Buckeyes.
  • If Coach Jim retains this coaching staff and keeps most of his good players away from the portal, M will be as good if not better next season Too bad that Aidan will leave, but again, that's (college) football..
  • Keep the faith and Go Blue!
Absolutely --- KWIII scored…

Absolutely --- KWIII scored all five Spartan Tds and the 2-point conversion. He ran for almost 200 yards. He was 90% if not 95% of their entrie offense. Without him, where would they be? Fortunately he's "one and done," so we won't see him again, except in a pro uniform.

Interesting to see how the Buckeyes handle him.

Four field goals --- if just…

Four field goals --- if just two of those four had been converted to TDs, we'd all be singing a different tune tonight. After the third FG I told my MSU-grad wife that against a good team like Sparty, FGs won't cut it --the FGs kept Sparty in the game and gave them a chance to win. McCarthy's fumble didn't help of course, but if by that time M had been at least two TDs ahead, it would not have been a game-breaker. Ya gotta score TDs.

Anyway, Cade and the guys played a helluva game; defense might have been a little tighter, but KWIII was as advertised---197 yards and all five Spartan TDs? Sheesh!

 

The question is, When M goes…

The question is, When M goes on offense for the first time in East Lansing, do you really want young J.J. under center, or do you want the guy who faced (sometimes insanely) hostile crowds in Madison and Lincoln, and in both cases managed the team to victories? Bring J.J. along --- he might get the chance to play most of the second half against NU, but don't put him in impossible situations, such as that 3rd and whatever late in the game last night when everyone in the stands knew he would keep the ball and attempt to run for a first down. 

But if J.J. shows the kind of game-after game improvement for the remainder of the season that we all hope for, next season's QB duties should be very much up for grabs. Go Blue.

Over the years I've been to…

Over the years I've been to Madison many times for games --- it was more fun in the nineties when M basically ran all over 'em; not so much fun in recent years though.

And yes, there was a time when, especially for a noon (EDT) start, munching a cold brat and guzzling a cold Leine's at 10 am was actually fun, but that ship has sailed. Likewise I have no use for the fans with their red t-shirts advocating sexual assault against the State of Michigan, and the shirts that proclaim "Ann Arbor" as a woman of easy virtue. I don't even recall that many obscene t-shirts in Columbus!

And also yes, it's a real thrill to sit in the Camp Randall upper deck during the "jump around," when you can feel the whole damn rickety structure vibrate. 

All that said, IMO Smoky's is still about the best eatery in town. No reservations, you won't be seated until your whole party's there, but the steaks are excellent. I hope if any of you MGoBlogers eat there you'll be celebrating a Michigan win --- safe travels, and Go Blue!

 

For the record, didn't…

For the record, didn't former AD Bill Martin offer the Michigan coaching job to Greg Schiano before hiring RichRod?

Also, the Wisconsin-ND game this weekend should be an interesting one for some insights into how good (bad) the Badgers really are. But either way, playing in Camp Randall is always a visiting-team challenge. Go Blue.

Objective, non-condescending…

Objective, non-condescending analysis of the M football program. IMO Bell's absence had a significant effect on the passing attack. As did some respect for the Washington corners, and concerns about the remaining WRs to run consistent routes afainst them. Cade got pressure on several occasions; one in particular when the edge defender had a clear, unblocked shot at Cade's left side. Visions of Brandon Peters in Madison back in 2017 flashed before me.

Best line from the podcast: Gerdman said when four Washington players tried to block Hutchinson, it looked as if Aidan was "speed dating"  as he spun off each one of them on his way to the Washington QB.

Fourth generation of the…

Fourth generation of the family to attend M; saw my first game at age 11 as a Boy Scout usher; season ticket holder for 25 years (now live in FL and no longer get to home games) Anyway, M is in my DNA, so I was hooked on M sorta before I even was.
