Disagree. I’ll love me some JH until the day I die. Great coach, great leader, and brought a great culture to AA. He can wear all of the Michigan gear he wants for the rest of his life. If I see him him at Knights Steak house I am buying him 2 drinks and one for Jay as well. If you don’t like it GTFO AA.

Given the chance, he would almost certainly take JJ, right? Deal Herbert away for more picks to land Zinter, Keagan, Corum and Wilson too. 

That’s an interesting…

That’s an interesting observation. Has that ever happened, or will he go in the record books (along with Barner and any other one and dones from this season)?

Too hot to handle. Getting…

Too hot to handle. Getting JJ back would have stabilized the most important position in the sport. Regardless, I am pumped to get Moore back. That D is going to be elite again next year!

One of my favorite Michigan players to watch and cheer for. Amazing on the field, and even more amazing for all of his charity off of it. Here’s to a long and fruitful NFL career!

Got chills at “Milroe is STOPPED!” Great video, thanks for posting.

Down in Cancun for the week. Drinking some caipiroskas. Recruiting everyone at the resort to watch the game and cheer for Michigan. I even talked an OSU alum into cheering for the good guys tomorrow! Go Blue!!

Puffy pens (the "ink"…

Puffy pens (the "ink" expands when you heat it with a hair drier) have been a big crafty type item around our house.  I also second the experience idea.

I think this is the big…

I think this is the big difference for me too. Plus Jim had proven he could win at multiple different places as a head coach. Juwan was never a head coach before coming to Michigan. I am still pulling for Juwan to turn it around, but these outbursts are making it hard to root for him.

I understand the coping mechanism, but Michigan will beat Alabama, and then they will beat whoever they play next. 

Facts.

Facts.

I’m not sure we were all…

I’m not sure we were all that “far from deserving.” Maybe not top 4, but probably top 10. Every single O lineman was all-conference in some capacity. We have gotten spoiled, but this is still a very good line on a great team. 

Hey now, I am a BIG Ryan Day…

Hey now, I am a BIG Ryan Day fan!

JJ was the Vegas front…

JJ was the Vegas front runner for Heisman just a few weeks ago. Next year, we won’t have Corrum to lean on, so JJ and Edwards (in a Gibbs type role) would be the focus of the offense. I , for one, would definitely not rule JJ out for Heisman next year. All of that said, right now the focus is on winning these next two games. 

You could be right. Mullings…

You could be right. Mullings is more likely to grind out yards and would get the short yardage carries. My prediction, if DE comes back, is that UM would use him and Mullings like the Lions are using Gibbs and Montgomery. Mullings could end up with more carries and rushing yards (like Montgomery), while Edwards could end up with more yards per carry and more all-purpose yards (like Gibbs). My prediction is that Edwards would be the technical starter given he has more experience in the rb room. 

I agree.  Especially if JJ…

I agree.  Especially if JJ comes back, he and DE could create a very dangerous modern pro-style passing attack.

No need to knock Davis. If…

No need to knock Davis. If the coaches liked him enough to take him, then that’s good enough for me. If they think Moore can also help the team, then bring him on too. There is plenty of room on the Harbaugh bus, on its way to a championship. 

I like taking him. He needs…

I like taking him. He needs to be properly coached, but he has elite talent. There is a reason he was a five star. In an ideal world, JJ comes back for one more year and these younger guys can continue to develop, but if not, you throw a bunch of talent at the proverbial wall and see what sticks. 

No, no, no. You say, “Who’s…

No, no, no. You say, “Who’s got it better than us?” And then we shout, “NOBODY!!” And then we all sing, “For he’s a jolly good fellow.” Those are the rules. Also, that is bonkers that 7 of our 11 charted games were top five in ratings for their respective weeks (and an 8th game was rated #6). 

I agree. That’s why I think…

I agree. That’s why I think the committee would bump Texas up to #3, then it’s a slugfest for that #4 spot. You can easily make a case for undefeated FSU, or a 1 loss Bama or OSU or Georgia. FSU is almost certainly the weakest of those teams, but it would be hard to leave out and undefeated conference champ. 

I don’t think this is crazy…

I don’t think this is crazy. The committee has said that they reward conference champions, so if Alabama beats Georgia, I would imagine the committee would put Alabama ahead of Georgia. Then you have Texas with the head to head went over Alabama, so I would imagine if they win their conference championship as well, then they would stay ahead of Alabama. Then it is just a question of what do you do with an undefeated FSU? I would probably put Texas #3 and FSU #4 in that scenario, but #2-7 would all be super close. 

Go Blue! Beat OSU. 

Go Blue! Beat OSU. 

Meh, there is a lot of anger…

Meh, there is a lot of anger in this thread and I get it. However, Saturday will be a day of celebration. Let the team do the talking by how they play.

Sold.

Sold.

This is his sixth season (2018, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23). He got a sixth year due to a redshirt and the Covid year. 

I am not a lawyer, but I…

I am not a lawyer, but I would imagine that any entity at risk of losing millions of dollars and public defamation due to an unfair and/or highly controversial action by a separate entity that is highly time sensitive would be given consideration for a TRO. UM wasn’t asking for favoritism. 

The reason you do it on the…

The reason you do it on the first TD, is so that if you don’t get it (which they didn’t), you know now that you need another TD plus a FG. That obviously would have required a miracle (quick stop, quick score, onside kick, FG), but at least you know so you can shift your strategy accordingly. If you do get the 2pt conversion, and manage to get the ball back, then you are trying to score that second TD with as little time on the clock as possible (so the other team can’t respond). Obviously none of that mattered because Michigan ran out the clock and PSU never got another shot at it.

If Jim can’t coach, which…

If Jim can’t coach, which would be ridiculous, I vote that we fly John Harbaugh in for the game as the interim. That would really mess with Franklin. 

They don’t want any drama…

They don’t want any drama around their #1 team, Ryan Day’s pretty boys. Now, the #3 team…nah, they’ll drag us through the mud. 

Nah. These shenanigans have…

Nah. These shenanigans have been going on in the B1G for over a hundred years. Even back in 1903, Minnesota tried to poison our team. What did we do? We agreed to turn Yost’s water jug into a trophy (after taking a 6 year break from playing them) and have gone on to dominate the series. Winning fixes everything. 

If I am USC, Washington,…

If I am USC, Washington, Oregon, or UCLA, I am seriously considering whether I really want to join this conference. 

I have 4 extra tickets for…

I have 4 extra tickets for the UM vs OSU game (I am going, but some of our group will unfortunately be out of the country that weekend). Section 42, row 84. The seats are as far over to section 43 as possible without having to pay for the next tier up in ticket prices. Seat geek is charging me a 10% service charge and then charging the buyer almost another $150 in fees, so I figured I would try here and save us both some money. Tickets are $750 each.

The only record they could…

The only record they could find was linked to a Bryan Shmay…definitely not Ryan Day.

But what OSU wants to know is WHERE’S LOU HOLTZ??

If I remember right, the…

If I remember right, the university had something to do with Blimpie Burgers having to leave their original location on South Division. You hate to see these locally owned fixtures of the community getting forced out. 

Really solid stuff here True…

Really solid stuff here True Blue, nice work. I think if you put in a few more details like the lines, team records, Net ranking, projected seed, etc., this could be front page caliber material down the stretch. The Mgoblog overlords are going to have to put you on payroll. 

But maybe yes. :)

But maybe yes. :)

Much more interesting than…

Much more interesting than the watered down bowl games we’ve been getting the past few years, where the best players sit out. This seems better for everybody. 

That’s what I was wondering…

That’s what I was wondering. So OSU fans dumped their reservations 1-2 days before the game? Thanks for the tip on restaurants. 

I believe that there…

I believe that there generally is a section for UofM’s allotted tickets. 

Yeah, we made a reservation…

Yeah, we made a reservation in Gas City. Ideally I want to snag something within walking distance to the stadium. 

Great, thanks for the info. 

Great, thanks for the info. 

Good info, thanks!

Good info, thanks!

I like how that sets up for…

I like how that sets up for the B1G in bowl games. UofM should be favored over TCU, OSU should be favored over Washington in the Rose Bowl. Assuming Bama goes to the Sugar Bowl, that probably leaves PSU as a favorite over Tennessee in the Citrus Bowl, or over Clemson in the Orange Bowl, right?

I’m fine with it. I like our…

I’m fine with it. I like our odds against TCU. 

Yes, I was thinking the same…

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. It’s not like ND was going to jump ahead of OSU. The Bucks need USC to lose, it really just comes down to those two teams for the #4 spot.
