Go Blue! I will forever…

Go Blue! I will forever celebrate the 2023 season with B1G, Rose Bowl, and National Championships... even if my bank account it feeling the burn from ticket, travel, and merch purchases. 

Calling it now, Chip Kelly…

Calling it now, Chip Kelly is the interim coach for the Bowl Game / Expanded Playoff after Ryan Day is fired for losing to Michigan x4. Chip Kelly then takes an analyst job for an NFL team after the season when aOSU cleans house. 

We are the reining National…

We are the reining National Champions. We are the reining B1G Champions, three years running. We haven't lost a game since 2022. We haven't lost a conference game since 2021. We haven't lost to aOSU since 2019. 

Many of our best players on defense will be back. An offense with the possibility of Orji, Edwards, and Mullings in the backfield at the same time seems like a lot of fun.

Our players love our new head coach. Our new head coach is 4-0 overall with wins over PSU and aOSU. Our new S&C coach learned under the guy who was the best S&C coach in the country the last several years (given other circumstances, we would be thrilled about this).

It's great to be a Michigan Wolverine.  

He has earned the right to…

He has earned the right to do whatever he wants to do and still be looked at as a Michigan legand, both as a player and a coach. 

I went into this year thinking, "if we somehow win it all, he's gone to try to win a Super Bowl." Then I thought it was a 95% chance. Seeing how much fun he had this season, even with that going on, I bumped that down to a 70% chance. I still think it's more likely than not he tries the NFL again.

That said, I'd be just as excited with Coach Sherrone Moore next year, especially if we hold together the core of this staff and bump just about everyone up a level.

I will be buying at least one. I also can't wait to see what awesome shirt you include in the pre-orders.

I run 4+ miles before each game. 

One mile for each quarter.

One mile for each beer I drink during the game.

The title of this post is the most attractive title I've seen on this board. Clicked on it immediately.

I'll watch every second of The Game. 

As per tradition, if we win, I'll watch the best games the rest of the day (UF v FSU is of particular interest) and if we lose, I will probably be done with football for the rest of the day, pour a hearty glass of scotch, and play mind-numbing video games.

With JJ, Blake The Great,…

With JJ, Blake The Great, and The Don all coming back next year, what is your prediction on percentage of touches per player? How much do you think this changes in the big games (MSU, PSU, OSU)? 

Hard pass. The four team is…

Hard pass. The four team is better than the 12 team, but neither are good for the sport. What makes college football so special is that it has the best regular season of all sports. Every game matters. The playoff has taken focus away from that and the 12 team will make regular season games less important ("oh well, we lost to aOSU, but we'll make the playoffs anyway.")

 

My ideal would be a four team playoff. B1G Champ v. PAC/Big12 Champ in the Rose Bowl. ACC Champ v. SEC Champ in the Sugar Bowl. Those winners play in the championship game. No voting, no committee. Teams earn their way in.

He gets to coach the result of his prophecy live!

Go Blue!

I forgot that he maintained possession even after accidentally backhanding the WSU staffer with his ball hand.

I went to Disney World with my wife several years ago during a college football weekend (wife was kind enough to plan it for a Michigan bye week). 

The most fun I had was watching college football games during lunch/dinner at the ESPN Club: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/boardwalk/espn-club/

It really does feel different. 

I have a unique perspective, I was on a flight during the game. I tried to stay in the bubble, but failed due to a flight attendant announcing the score and people reacting. I finally watched the game today with full knowledge of the outcome.

This team looks good. Dare I say, that's the best our team has looked all season? It sucks that Michigan State also looked better than I expected. Good teams often lose to other good teams on the road. 

Pre-season, I had this team at an optimistic 7-5. I now believe they are a 10 win team, maybe more. This loss sucks, but it's a loss the team can grow from. I believe our program is on an upwards trajectory. 

Go Blue!

Private University. Past contracts have not been disclosed.

What about just getting rid of the playoff or even the championship game?

Go back to a league centric model. Win your conference and go to that conference's special bowl game. I think all of college football felt more special when any team could win their conference and go to the Rose Bowl or Sugar Bowl. 

Now college football is just about following 6ish teams and wondering if one or two other teams can break through every once in a while. 

Let me remind you of the…

Let me remind you of the time Brady Hoke outcoached Frames Janklin. The dude took a timeout (that would be helpful in a theoretical comeback) to get his team ready to take an intentional safety.

I recognize OSU has reached Juggernaut status. I have hopes, but I'm not letting them get too high.


HOWEVER, I'm fully aboard the high hopes train for MSU to be playing in the first ever B1G Last Place game at the end of the season!

4-2 (not all games will be played). 

I assumed he was going to go…

I assumed he was going to go to the draft last year and was pleasantly surprised by his decision to come back.

Hopefully Nico makes the best of this offseason and kills it in the combine and draft evaluations. Good luck and Go Blue!

I'm going to choose to read that in Yoda's voice. I'm an optimist. 

It's a toss up.
Wife being…

It's a toss up.

Wife being okay with it: My wife also finds Kate Upton super hot, but she doesn't like sharing. 

Kate leaving JV for me: JV has more money and is better looking, but I've never lost an MLB game, so I've got that going for me. 

 

I'm still holding out hope…

I'm still holding out hope that Kate Upton leaves Justin Verlander for me and that my wife will be totally okay with adding her to our relationship. 

Your hopes are probably more likely, but I'm not holding my breath for either of us. 

Am I the only one who…

Am I the only one who interprets this as Downriver? 

"Born and raised in the suburbs just south of the city of Detroit." just doesn't have the same ring to it. 

Tin Foil Hat Time: The…

Tin Foil Hat Time: The Graphic shared in their Twitter posts looks rather professionally put together. I'm wondering if they're working with the NCAA or the individual conferences to coordinate this in an effort to save the season. Showing that this is what the players want may give the Power 5 some PR cover.

I believe Denard actually got paid for his NCAA cover. I'm pretty sure that's the reason the NCAA cover always went to a player who was graduating, being drafted, or otherwise out of eligibility.

I'm only in my mid-30s, but if this view is "fogiedom", you can start calling me an old fogie. 

I'm a huge Michigan fan and love College Football, but I've felt dirtier and dirtier supporting it the last few years for reasons that you and your grandfather have articulated well.

Personally, I don't think…

Personally, I don't think there will be any games and if there are games, there won't be any fans.

 

However, if there are games with limited fans. I think that only students and family of the players should be able to attend. Football should be for the students and the active campus community first and foremost.

Worse yet... this was in the mid 90s. Probably the best time to be a Red Wings fan.

I once considered buying a white sports car with a red racing stripe... until my wife told me it looked liked a used maxi-pad. 

Now I can't get that out of my head while looking at the proposed stripe out. Thanks, wife. Thanks, Wisconsin.

I've been using PS Vue for almost 2 years. I've (almost) never had an issue. I watch it on both my PS4 and my Roku. I've watch College Football on it all Saturday every Saturday in the fall and it work better than cable. 

Plus, if you're only interested in specific seasons, there's on contract. You can drop and resubscribe at any time. That was my plan, but I've liked it so much that I've kept it around.

100% a pita idea. Put some chicken shwarma in it! 

The only possible reason for…

The only possible reason for doing this, assuming both teams win out, is to send the message to ND, "join a conference or else". 

I'm personally fine with this and am in favor of a playoff requirement that you must be a conference champ, but it's never happening. At least, it's not happening this year.

This has to be in the running for most wonderful problem to ever befall our football program. Top ten at worst. Here's hoping that the poor guy stays out of the standings, but gets an honorable mention for the All American team anyway.

I'm going to *nay* that so hard, I should probably root for a horse to be our mascot.

Please no, please no, please no, please no, please no!

Personally, I'm a little bummed. I'm good with the underdog roll. It would be nice to be underrated.

It's an app that plays podcasts and some other media, but I mainly use them for Podcasts. I've been using them due to their excellent integration with Android Auto and Ford AppLink. Both good ways to get a good native safe experience while driving.

What's the best way to listen on Android? I was using Stitcher, but the MGoBlog podcast hasn't been updated there since May 31st.

I use PS Vue on both my PS4 and my Roku. It works great! Even better, there are no contracts. You can sign up in August and ditch it in February or April (depending on if you're Football only or Football/Basketball).
