9 weeks 5 days ago This post and many others

This post and many others during, and since, this past 2017 season remind me of how markets behave.  People sell when the market is down and buy when the market is hot, when they should be doing exactly the opposite.  I am sure there are many behavioral studies to cite, but I just thought I'd add my two cents of sense.  

Chill out, everybody.  I'm buying the low and will be selling the high when I watch us win the Natty in '18.

2 years 2 weeks ago Not a lawyer, but my

Not a lawyer, but my understanding is that the regulations must be essential if the product is going to exist at all.  So, regarding not paying players, can argue that this makes the product unique and therefore is essential for the product to exist.  As far as schools not holding satellite camps in certain areas, I'm not sure that's even close to essential for college football to exist in its current form.

LOL at everyone complaining about NYC.  There are quite a few Michigan alumni here who will be pleased.

But John Bacon said Brandon was the reason we don't have Harbaugh.

 

And John Bacon threw our last coach to win a National Championship under the bus.

 

Yet everyone loves John Bacon.

But John Bacon said that Dave Brandon was the reason we didn't get Harbaugh four years ago!  

Oh, that's right, he said it because he wanted Brandon gone for his own reasons.

Read fail.  I still don't trust him.  

Also, 50/50 is 1% away from "betting against" something.  51/49 and you bet on 51.  

3 years 24 weeks ago LOL.   What a fraud Bacon is.

LOL.  

What a fraud Bacon is.  He tells everyone that Harbaugh won't come if DB is still here.  Now, after he got what he wants, he tells everyone he would bet against Harbaugh coming here.

Nicely done.

While your at it, Bacon, can you please write another book that has excerpts in it slamming our last football coach to win a National Championship?  Thanks.

3 years 24 weeks ago This sounds fantastic to me.

This sounds fantastic to me.  But it misses the issue.  Will those potential ADs be able to or willing to spend the money that landing Harbaugh requires?  The type of money that DB proved he was willing to spend.  

3 years 24 weeks ago "Rebut what?"   On this board

"Rebut what?"  

On this board people offer opinions and often rebuttals to others' opinions.  

Cool? Thanks.  

3 years 24 weeks ago It's looking likely that we

It's looking likely that we will miss on this coaching hire.  It's looking like people were bilked into believing Harbaugh wouldn't come if DB was here, when in fact DB was our best chance at landing Harbaugh.  

That's what it looks like to me.  Someone please rebut; I'd gladly welcome it.  

3 years 24 weeks ago DB also paid coaches, which

DB also paid coaches, which was not exactly a proclivity of previous Michigan ADs.  

How many people will be happy that DB is gone if we end up with an AD that puts Michigan more "in line with academics" and therefore decides that paying a coach top dollar would send the wrong message?  Plenty would be unhappy, as many were convinced that the reason we didn't have Harbaugh was because of DB.  

Many were tricked by John Bacon and others into believing that DB being gone would give us a shot at Harbaugh.  They are slowly starting to realize that DB was likely our best shot, as he was willing to spend money.

And, for the record, I wasn't thrilled with DB either.  But I'd gladly take Chobani Under the Lights and Harbaugh than academic focused AD and __insert name here__.  

 

3 years 24 weeks ago Welp, this is what happens

Welp, this is what happens when those who wanted DB gone for reasons other than the football team's performance convinced many Michigan fans that DB was responsible for not landing Harbaugh.  Now, shortly after DB's resignation, Michigan fans begin to realize that odds are starting to look like the next AD won't be willing (or maybe able) to spend the type of money DB was willing to spend to get a coach like Harbaugh.  Then, they realize, they got conned by people who said DB was the reason Harbaugh isn't coaching Michigan.  

But John Bacon is happy.  

3 years 26 weeks ago Yup.  Thanks, Bacon, for

Yup.  

Thanks, Bacon, for painting Lloyd Carr as one of the worst things that has happened to Michigan football.  

3 years 26 weeks ago I'm not sure you understand

I'm not sure you understand what Bacon is doing, so let me spell out the logic for you:

Jim H will answer the phone if any AD at Michigan calls about the head coaching position.  If I could draw on a whiteboard, there would be a large circle with Michigan AD in it.  

Jim H will answer the phone if a new AD calls him.  If I could draw on a whiteboard, there would be a small circle that says new AD inside the larger circle that says Michigan AD.  

If you can't see that this guy has no information outside of what everyone else has, then you are blind.  The guy is being very careful with the statements he makes, so as to garner as much support as possible for axing DB.  

People with just as much knowledge, if not more, have stated that the best chance at getting Jim H for next year requires keeping DB.  And it makes sense, not only for timing reasons, but because one thing DB has shown is that he will actually spend money.  

Everyone here wants to go back to the old way of Michigan football.  No branding, etc.  Well, guess what comes with branding?  A lot of money to spend on a new football coach.  And guess what, Schlissel may very likely love nothing more than for football to be an afterthought to academics.  You could easily infer that, just like Bacon has inferred every piece of "inside knowledge" he spews.  

3 years 26 weeks ago Agree.  When RR was here he

Agree.  When RR was here he had more knowledge, but that was because he had an all-access press pass.  

3 years 26 weeks ago Can we please elaborate on

Can we please elaborate on the "best of his knowledge?"  Thanks.  

3 years 26 weeks ago Incorrect.  He said won't

Incorrect.  He said won't come "from the current administration" not won't "come here under" the current administration.  Do you understand the difference?  If not, I can't help you.  

You sir, are the source of misinformation.  As I continue to point out.  

Stop misquoting others to further your agenda!  It does not display integrity that is expected of Michigan students/alumni.
