So many great moments…

So many great moments mentioned in the lightning-round segment!  One that you didn't mention, JJ's 47-yard touchdown pass against UNLV, inspired by the memory of Ryan Keeler.

The loss to Michigan was giving him flashbacks to his stint in Lansing.

This is really a brilliant…

This is really a brilliant piece, well-written and beautifully conceived.  Thank you!

Two bits:

1. One additional historical account of note to consider is the Battle of Jericho, where we're told that Joshua's trumpets caused the city walls to fall down.

2. Let's talk about the bridge.  You know -- that section of the Victors in the middle when most fans, even the most ardent, have to stop singing because they don't know exactly what to do while the band does their thing.  Glee Clubbers know it as the "We cheer them again..." section, which lyrically has always seemed a little forced to me.

Anyway, I was once told that every great march has a bridge that sounds like two dogs barking at each other.  Call them "Tony" and "Ezekial" if you will.  The bridge in The Victors bridge definitely fits this description/prescription.  So the next time you hear the full Marching Band version of the Victors, and the bridge comes around, imagine and enjoy the two dogs barking at each other with increasing intensity. It will enhance your Victors experience while you wait for the next "Hail!"

Prediction: at least once, one of M’s defensive bigs reads a screen coming, drops out of his pass rush, gets his hands up and knock down the pass. For style points: it will be McGregor.

One of the reasons Penix is sacked so infrequently is the speed with which he gets the ball out. That’s especially true on tunnel screens. 
 

Several times this season, we’ve seen Michigan’s Bigs read screen, drop back, get their hands in passing lanes and make plays. We’ve also seen Sainristil and Johnson break early on short routes and get their hands on the ball. I’m predicting both on Monday.

I have been watching Thor for three years now, and he is definitely an impact player.  State Wrestling champ in high school.  He has definitely been the Mason Graham of the Ivy League for the last three years.  

 

Here's an in-depth interview with Thor: https://gocrimson.com/podcasts/inside-harvard-football-2023-episode-8/18

 

Incidentally, if you're wondering if any other Harvard Graduate ever transferred eligibility to play football at Michigan, the most recent one was the "Wolverine of Wall Street", Michael Hirsch: https://www.freep.com/story/sports/university-michigan/wolverines/2016/09/09/michigan-football-michael-hirsch/90108948/

Two points about the…

Two points about the possibility of calling "Fair Catch" during Kick-off return:

1. This rule came into play on the opening kick-off of the OSU v. M game, 2021.  The return man called fair catch, then "caught" it on the bounce.  The result was that OSU began its drive on the 4 yard line.

2. I agree with Brain's view that during a squib kick, it is best not to call Fair Catch -- you should try for a return.  However, during an onside kick, if one of the hands-men can call "Fair Catch" just as the ball has been kicked, then the kicking team cannot touch him.  If the kicking team runs into the guy who called fair catch, that will be a penalty ("Fair Catch Interference"), even if the ball were to bounce.

However, the description of the Michigan 1902 win over Stanford is inaccurate. When the game got out of hand, the Stanford coach asked Yost to call off the rest of the game. Yost refused. Later, the Stanford Captain asked Michigan’s Captain, Hugh White, to call off the rest of the game. White agreed.

Also, it was not technically a “Rose Bowl” game — the Rose Bowl, itself, was not built until 1922.  It was the Tournament of Roses East-West Game. 
 

2 cents. But again, it’s a great feature.

No. 109 is my favorite. 49-0 vs. Stanford (N) on Jan 1, 1902.  The first Tournament of Roses Game. In the third quarter, Captain, Hugh White, accepts the Stanford Captain’s offer to surrender the win, finishing an undefeated and unscored upon season.

Feels to me like the judge essentially converted the proceeding from a TRO to a Preliminary Injunction motion with an opportunity to take evidence or at least hear live argument. The criteria are largely the same as has been discussed here over the last week, but instead of having been decided immediately on the papers, there’s an actual record to be made. 

Right. It should be “Cyan…

Right. It should be “Cyan Ryan”!

What if this entire thing has been Sherrone Moore’s evil Ozymandias-level plot to take over as head coach?

I want to see (and predict  that we will see): Duo combined with a JJ Read-Option to pull the ball, combined with an additional read-option to throw the ball downfield.  For extra style points, I predict that the downfield target will be CJ.

We also managed to squeeze in a visit before they pack it in. I recommend the corned beef hash.
