I believe Dug played all 40 minutes.

Its coaching malpractice to play a guy 40 minutes when he’s also displaying effort issues.

Was he tired? I have no idea, but you certainly need to sit a guy a bit who isn’t playing hard on both ends.

Unfortunately, every Michigan “insider” this side of JUB himself has had their credibility absolutely shattered by all this stuff.

The only path forward is for the University to do it openly and I doubt there’s stomach for that.

I think the Michigan community needs to come to the grips with the fact that the only “insider” who said anything that wasn’t 100% inaccurate was John U, and all John said was “nobody knows anything.”

The credibility of all other insiders has basically been destroyed.

It was the runner. That's an unusual person to be flashing the signs, but here we are.

I was thinking today that Michigan may be playing this wrong, and we ought to lean into the Ohio State narrative that the sign stealing beat them and Michigan had nothing to do with it.

If you agree with Ohio State on this, this changes from a "Michigan cheated" story to the greatest David vs Goliath story in sports history.

$110 million dollar Ohio State football machine completely dismantled by used vacuum salesman who spent $15k to utterly decimate the Buckeyes.

Michigan football were bystanders to this evisceration.

Bill Belichek! Not you again!

How long before the tin foil hat wearing folks in Columbus and East Lansing start complaining that Michigan ordered the helmet communications so we know the frequency that's used and can still listen in?

MSU used to have a dossier on us, but unfortunately for them they allowed Mel Tucker to take it home one weekend and now all the pages are stuck together.

Ok, Karen.

It was his idea.

Great stuff

The point is OSU was going to be inconvenienced by a rule that in retrospect, was possibly unfair to them.

So, of course the B1G rides to OSUs rescue.

Today, Michigan is afoul of a rule that I bet 99% of us could not explain last month and even today, you can’t three non OSU or MSU folks to agree exactly what you can or cannot legally do.

Does the B1G ride in with a rules interpretation helpful to Michigan? Fuck no.

Torches and pitchforks for us.

We all know they would not do this to OSU in 1,000,000 years.

This website does not work if more than 18 people try to use it at the same time.

Excellent work as always.

 I can see a future for college sports where the name brands are faced with an economic choice whether to maintain their decades long relationships with the less fortunate or cast them aside in their own economic self interest.

This week Purdue made a very interesting recommendation as to how Michigan ought to proceed when that choice comes.

I don’t bet but I think Washington is the best bet here on this list.

How on earth can USC even slow them down?

Not that big if the Washington Post indeed got a spreadsheet showing the video filming schedule.

It’s possible Stallions is a complete moron, but I doubt he would be distributing that to random people.

Here is a pertinent question I hope gets asked.

When OSU hacked these computers were they trying to cheat themselves and access game plans and similar things and merely stumbled on Stalions?

Obviously if OSU came about the information that way, they can’t go straight to the NCAA or B1G but they would have to leak it to friendly media.

Which is exactly how this played out.

You are almost certainly wrong here.

Would Michigan give the NCAA access to Michigan’s computers? Absolutely yes.

Does this stuff originate from Michigan computers? Almost certainly not.

To believe otherwise, you have to believe that Stalions would send Michigans IT department requests for authentications for random people every week and it would be granted without questions. If he was sharing his own password you then have to believe Michigan doesn’t use two factor authentication or any other number of methods of security everyone uses.

The question then becomes what happens if this stuff was downloaded or sold from an account a Michigan does not control.

 You mention torts. As this will likely blow up Stalions dream for his life path, I would say he’s got a hell of a lawsuit against whoever did this and if the case would be heard in Michigan he’s going to find sympathetic jurors too.

Good write up, but how can you miss the fact Michigan doesn’t have a goalie coach?

I know everyone is 100% certain the Hughes is gone, but there’s no way he’s NHL ready.

Far too many turnovers and a lot of puck watching. The question is do the Devils want to work on that stuff in the AHL or at Michigan? 

If I didn’t know better reading this would lead you to conclude Michigan won.

I wonder if we get Hughes back another year.

He will eventually be a great NHL player but he needs to cut down on turnovers quite a bit before being NHL ready.

Perhaps the Devils let him work on it in Ann Arbor?

Green was the last remaining reporter who had covered every Super Bowl. I believe this years SB was the only one he missed.

RIP.

This would be a lower tier team in the MAC.

When I was six and started playing hockey I heard about not playing the puck but playing the kid.

That was awful.

Most of the time advanced analytics folks will claim there’s no such thing in statistics as “clutch play.”

This team disproves that claim.

Watching Army go on a 18 play TD drive that uses a quarter and a half of game time will be awesome!

MGoPolitics

But remember: we are under NCAA investigation right now for….. hamburgers.

I still can’t understand why people are so certain Michigan State is safely in.

They could easily end up 18-14.

Great stuff as usual, Seth, but you overlooked my #1 worry this year.

Moore has a lot on his plate. What are the concerns about coaching the OL and being OC?

Or do we secretly think JH will be the OC?

I was thinking it would be better if we did not get the  double bye to have a more winnable 1st game in the BTT.

Double post

I must have reversed jinxed us!

 I’m not somewhere with a TV and the CBS sports app marked the game final 68-65.

I would say you don’t have to worry about watching the bubble anymore.

Amazing!

Ohio State not being willing to outpay for players?????

lol!

Good stuff Seth.

On the time formula, I would think you take the number of possessions a team is behind and divide the time remaining in the game by that amount.

That gives a rough guesstimate as to how much time can be expended per drive to stay on track.

Then you take the time actually used and determine whether they stayed “within budget” or not.

When I’m watching, I sort of do this mental math. 

No.

East Lansing would fit

It actually would happen 100% of the time on RCMB.

It also happened to Ohio State.

Today.

Steven Threet?

 Duggan is a fantastic runner and he’s pretty fast.

Wow! Ryan Day got serious and doubled down on even darker hair dye!

Thanks. It just seemed like we were popping it in there and just hoping to get lucky 

Thanks. Since we suck at that so bad, can’t you just pass to someone and not just randomly hit a popup to the other team?

I’m not versed in soccer strategy but can someone explain why Pulisic takes the corner kicks? It would seem that literally anyone could take those and you would want your players who are threats receiving the kicks?

I don’t think soccer will ever catch on in America unless they get rid of this stupid offside rule.

Imagine how Georgia is feeling now. USC pulls this out and they don’t even have to practice and they win the semi by 30.

USC loses and they get OSU who is much better than USC.

When you see a stat like this that is highly impossible- meaning there’s no way the Big Ten includes half the top ten - you need to consider trashing the stat in favor of something better.
