You're not wrong in any way…

You're not wrong in any way. If we'd beaten ND, OSU would've probably gotten into the playoff instead of OSU.

I agree.  I thought the…

I agree.  I thought the Wisconsin game was the best officiated game that I've seen in a long time, but maybe that was just the cleanest game we've had in that span.

All we want is fairness.  The officials won't get them all right, but when a replay shows us committing a penalty, can't really say much. 

I forget which play (Maybe the Higdon 4th down conversion) against Indiana, but FS1 replayed it at least twice, and it showed a blatant hold by Runyan (IIRC) that wasn't called.

 

I'm in this camp.  I think…

I'm in this camp.  I think if there is any bias, it's going to go in our favor to preserve the conference's best shot at the playoffs.

My buddy is a huge Titans…

My buddy is a huge Titans fan.  He's fearful that OSU would pursue Mike Vrabel if Urban moves on.  Mainly a question of NFL or college preference and timing.  The rest makes sense, IMO.

Yeah, but would he walk to…

Yeah, but would he walk to Louisville to get that job?

He punted out of his own…

He punted out of his own endzone a couple possessions before that to the OSU 40 and Sparty's defense forced a punt.  They might have had 4-5 yards more cushion, but they executed brilliantly, so why not force OSU to block the punt?

Almost. The standard is to…

Almost. The standard is to root for Michigan and against OSU, MSU, and ND every week. In March of 2012, I rooted for OSU to beat Sparty at Breslin to give us a share of the B1G. 

In 2015, I rooted for OSU to beat Sparty and their back up QB in Columbus to preserve a chance of Michigan going to Indy, so long as Michigan beat OSU the next week.  That scenario fell through as quickly as it started.

Angelique appeared to be…

Angelique appeared to be Hoke's favorite.  Often times he talked to her with a somewhat giggly, friendly banter and regularly referring to her by name (I don't recall this rapport with others). This seemed to carry over with Harbaugh, at least, in the first couple of seasons.  It may have grown stale or maybe he took something personally.

Is McKeon on a hover board or something?  Has that sway down pat.

Ironically, Stacy Elliott …

Ironically, Stacy Elliott (Ezekiel Elliott's father) was there to provide testimony to Urban's integrity and position on domestic violence.  Ezekiel Elliott may or may not have been involved in a domestic dispute (wasn't arrested by Columbus PD), but he did serve a six-game suspension in the NFL, last year, surrounding the allegations.  Not who I'd want to be going to bat for me, if I'm Urban Meyer.

How about DMC?  I think that meets your criterion.  Yet, Darren McFadden is/was already DMC, so maybe the originator of DCaff was on to something.



My gripe is that I don't want a toned-down version of a starting QB.  I want the fully caffeinated Dylan when he is under center.

Well, it's about damn time. 

Well, it's about damn time.  Congrats, Mo and Devin!

I just flipped a Quarter 7

I just flipped a Quarter 7 times.  It landed on tails each and every time.  Does that count or did I just eliminate M's chances?

Can we please stop blaming

Can we please stop blaming the refs for last year's loss in Columbus?  No argument they were a factor, but let's move on.

It must be stated, that said

It must be stated, that said LSU National Title was at the expense of the Buckeyes---and they were destroyed.

Secondly, as a die hard Cubs fan, the onus falls squarely on SS Alex Gonzalez, who booted a taylor-made, inning-ending double play ball, moments later.  Even if Alou could have made the catch (I'm very skeptical he would have), the Cubs still had to get another out to get out of the inning.

I used the app FoxFi as on my phone as a hotspot for nearly 4 years.  It was a one time cost of $7-8 and worked like a charm.  If you can get 4G, I'd recommend it.  I assume there is still a demo version you can try.  Just watch your data allowance if you don't have unlimited.

Agreed. I was hoping Harbaugh would give Teddy Greenstein a snarky response, or no response at all.

A very punchable face, Greenstein has.

I think it's simple, really.

I think it's simple, really.  If a Sparty or OSU win directly correlates with Michigan's opportunity to obtain something of value that it could not otherwise obtain, you root for Sparty or OSU.  

I.E. the 2011-2012 basketball season where MSU winning over OSU forced a three-way tie for first with us, Sparty, and OSU, but if OSU beat MSU, OSU won the B1G outright. Same thing in football, two seasons ago.  If OSU would've beaten MSU in Columbus and we would've beaten OSU in the Big House, we would've gone to Indy.  With Sparty winning and beating PSU the following week, it was out of our hands.

I like McDonough, but it depends.  When he, Spielman and Urban called our game at EL in 2011, I wanted to throw a brick through the TV.  I can't remember a more infuriating call than that game.  Plus, didn't McDonough call the MSU game last year?  Can't say I like that mojo.  I think Herbstreit is great with the exception of where he went to school.

DPJ, Thomas, JKP, Isaiah Wilson, Drew Singleton are guys, IMO, that we have to land.



Ruiz and Collins are two that would really leave a sour taste in my mouth if we didn't get them. 

I really want to land Darnay Holmes, Baron Browning, and, obviously, Najee Harris.

Yes, my Cubbies won, and I'm

Yes, my Cubbies won, and I'm beside myself, but I think Maddon could've used some advice from Harbaugh in the last two games.  I don't understand the short (understatement) leashes on the starting pitchers.  I can't fathom burning your closer in a 5-7 run game.  I hate the bunt call with a free swinger who isn't the best contact guy.  And, if you're going in with a gameplan not to bring in Lester or Chapman into a dirty inning, why the Hell would you do just that? 

I do have to give Joe infinite props for activating and playing Schwarber.  I second guessed that decision and I don't know if any other coach would've had the stones to do it, but, wow, did that work out well!?!  I also have to give Tito a lot of credit.  Hell of a coach and a class act.



This is the first major championship that I could truly enjoy, immediately after it happened.  I was 14 in '97, so fandom wasn't fully ingrained, yet.  Even though we knew we were champs, we had to wait on the AP; still waiting on the Coaches.  I'm hopeful that, come January, I'll be commenting about my second.





WD, where can I find the maize and blue glove that Harbaugh had?
