I blame B1G officiating, to an extent.  B1G refs allow rough play.  I think it's a big reason why Beilein's teams performed better in March, and most B1G teams have faltered.  

Fair point.  Not sure why this is getting so nasty.  Warde did the right thing in this case.  He may still suck at his job.  Or maybe he doesn’t. There is evidence of both.  Maybe he’s a mixed bag?  

Fa

No need to go skirt ad hominem territory.  The fact that Manuel did the blatantly obvious right thing to do doesn’t prove anything either way. 

Is that what Seth is saying?  I thought what Seth was saying was more along the lines of "I am mad that our AD is discouraging rich doners from spending their money on the right stuff."  

This 100%.  Getting back at people for alleged slights is a prime motivator, and it's also deeply, deeply, dumb.  

I laughed, I cried, I soiled myself.  

I love you guys.  

No matter what happens, this is my favorite team ever.  

Go Blue!

The last time Michigan football played for the National Championship, my dad, oldest sister, and brother were still alive.  

Take a moment to appreciate this victory, and the loved ones you share it with, whether in person or in spirit. 

And I appreciate you guys! 

Go Blue!   

Hee hee hee!  

What happened?  You got Nick rolled?  

I think 85-86 should be treated a little differently.  I believe Yzerman was hurt that year.  But yeah, the decade prior…woof.  

I agree with this, but given how Michigan gets in trouble any time it does things the way other schools do, maybe that's a deterrent to that approach?  

Playing school school.  

The blank space is the perfect answer.  

Exactly.  And their depth of talent is probably the toughest part.  Michigan loses a starter it’s a problem.  Alabama loses a starter, and another player steps right in.  

I respect that name.  Nicely done!

Pretty sure by now the committee knows not to trust Warde with the donuts. 

If regret that I have only one upvote to give for this one.  

Good morning!  Wake up to happiness!

That is brilliant.  

Perfect nickname.  

+100 for the reference.  

Fields and Day embody what it means to be a Buckeye: weak when it matters. 

It's also fostered by jackasses like the staff of The Athletic, who act like any correction to their initial, incorrect take is just Michigan histrionics.  

It’s ‘cause Jim Harbaugh took ‘r jobs.  

Yes, you are!  

I am Jim Harbaugh.  

Moore’s tears were magical.  I lost it.  Everyone I know lost it.  
 

BET!

Would love it if the PAC 12 schools joining the B1G would reconsider and join Michigan and Notre Dame.  
 

Do they really want to share revenue with a bunch of little weenie schools that are willing to collude against them to make OSU look good?  

Sorry, this just makes me think of Les Nessman.  

To be blunt, this little stunt could get you a shunt to Bolivia.  

Thanks for posting.  Dan Wetzel is guilty of actually doing his job as a journalist, so I’m not surprised that his take is thoughtful. 

I hope this doesn't sound condescending, but this is an excellent post!  

Jeez.  Downvoted for owning a mistake?  Tough crowd!  

Excellent reference.  

They should, but people can be really dumb about this, or maybe they don't mind the risk of getting caught.  

They understand that Stalions was hired in 2022, right?  And that 2022 comes after 2021, the first year that OSU lost to a Harbaugh-coached team? 

Apparently Doc Brown was somehow involved in this . . .  

Mattison, right?  

This is brilliant.  

Thank you for flagging this.  It made me feel a little less old.  

Yes!  SEA-TAC really blows.  Their car rental return and pickup is awful, and you do NOT want to go through regular security there - plan on it taking over an hour.  

DTW is lovely.  PDX is constantly under construction but otherwise is fine.  

Can't speak for Oregon, but Washington is consistently ranked as a top 25 public university, and Seattle-Tacoma is a top 15 TV market.  But I agree with you completely about the bee-in-bonnet factor.    

Yes, and you can still make a stew with cheaper cuts . . .  but it needs to simmer longer.  

I think that last sentence might be far too true.  

2022 was incredible, but 2021 was a lot more powerful, for personal reasons. 

Between 2011 and 2021, my father-in-law and my brother both passed away.  My father-in-law was a Michigan man, and he and I went to several games together.  My brother was severely handicapped and really could not get out of his group home later in life, but I have some great memories watching football with him and his housemates.  

I was at The Game in 2021, and when Michigan won I couldn't help but think about those guys, how I missed them, and how I wished that they could have been there to enjoy it.

I don't mean to say that I wasn't happy in 2021; quite the opposite.  Experiencing loss made me appreciate better the joy.  And there was some serious joy in Ann Arbor!      

The U.S. Constitution only uses the word "Militia" when discussing state-based military defense.  That's not the same as a popular military.  

Earlier you referred to access to firearms.  Do you equate keeping and bearing firearms with access to firearms?
