Caesar won battles

I don't think I have ever…

I don't think I have ever cared less about michigan basketball than this year...

what a malaise...

in my opinion Blakes ability…

in my opinion Blakes ability to read the defense and shift while he runs is superb.  

I don't expect him to go until round 6or7, but he could definitely catch on and have a long career.... he could also struggle to make a team.   The NFL is hard on backs.

 

1. I found Winston's actions…

1. I found Winston's actions egregious the victory formation signifies that you are not going to try and move the ball forward.  Wait till next year, if he goes into victory formation, I hope he gets plowed.     Honestly, I could go on a Bill Burr level rant about the play but will just say:  you want the touchdown, earn it!   

2.  Not even close... and I will echo the idea that a slap shot is more likely to miss.   

3. I believe in retaliation.  I'm not a big fan of cross checks to the head.   Go over, fight the dude if you don't like it, but cheap shots aren't ok.

4. The NBA seems to do a good job of policing one another.  The NFL seems a little more fraught; I look at all the late hits on top of piles each week and wonder why they aren't called.  In fact, I would argue that the NFL is the only league that actively attempts to hurt their opponent.

 

Come on man... logically it…

Come on man... logically it was Harbaugh stalling for time.  

I blame no one at UofM and I don't blame Harbaugh, but dude was going to try and leave and found his landing spot.

10 or so years ago, this was…

10 or so years ago, this was a day my students would be watching a movie and I would be on the internet... last four or five years I hardly knew it was happening... which is probably a good thing.

make. it. stop!!!!

make. it. stop!!!!

I watch michigan football…

I watch michigan football clips every day...

favorites are the Alabama game and the last three OSU games.

best moment? overtime in the rose bowl.

most emotional?  when zinter gets hurt and the next play Corum runs into the endzone and puts up 6-5.

 

While other people are worrying about the future, I'm relishing in the recent past.

 

I just need a national…

I just need a national championship every 30 years to keep me going.  So far in my life I am 45 and I've seen 2.  So, I'm gonna stick around for some more!

Also, the religion of football pays off as often as any other religion... so why not go all in?

Sure dude.

I should have…

Sure dude.

I should have added that they can't bet against themselves (i did mention taking the over).   Winners don't have to throw games.  lol

 

I'm sorry, I respect the…

I'm sorry, I respect the shit out of that!

I think if you want to bet on your team winning, and especially if you want to bet on your own performance (and take the over), then please do!  

 

also:  you realize that this has gone on for decades and is going on now right?  

I will root for Jim, but I…

I will root for Jim, but I don't give a fuck about the Chargers...  

Dude!!!!

phrasing!!!

I am…

Dude!!!!

phrasing!!!

I am laughing so hard in front of my students right now.

Jim wants to win a super…

Jim wants to win a super bowl.

Now, he may sacrifice that dream for the dream of staying at Michigan, but my interpretation is that Harbaugh, like most men, has conflicting desires.

Personally, I think it all comes down to the the contract stating that harbaugh can't interview for NFL jobs... and its all that simple.   In this scenario Warde's actions make much more sense... and so due Jims....

but what do I know?  Im just an anonymous anarchist snoopy on the internet.

 

Don't. 

I'm more impressed…

Don't. 

I'm more impressed by the people who have been here for 15 years and stay under 10K.

 

When I was a young teacher…

When I was a young teacher signing day was always movie day...  before than I remember reading about Walker, henson, terrell et al in the fish bowl at angell hall... those were the days.

i read that earlier and…

i read that earlier and thought:  Good idea!

I mean, shit ain't exactly working well so far in the Bowl Prep area, might as well try something new.   I appreciate how the article notes that Harbaugh reached out and consulted other coaches.

Vegas is baiting people to…

Vegas is baiting people to take Alabama.   And they aren't going to move the line to get more michigan bets. 1.5 to 2 pts will also impact teasers.

That is what these news cycles are about and why you are hearing that the number one team in the nation needs to worry about Penn State with a quarterback...

I don't know much, and I've been wrong before, but I believe wholeheartedly that this all bodes well for Michigan to win by 10. 

Fair enough.  lol

It feels…

Fair enough.  lol

It feels weird to reread them... but I do believe the man wants a superbowl ring, and I understand that.  

For me, reading whatever tea leaves I might, i think the reason his contract isn't renewed at this time is that he wants to win it all and then give the NFL a run.  And he deserves that.   

selfishly I want him to coach our team till the wheels fall off, but I get it.

 

I hate to say it... but he…

I hate to say it... but he should.

It would be awesome for him:  its a good team and he can compete for a super bowl.

 

only caveat: win the natty this year first.

I'm almost done with season…

I'm almost done with season three and I found my self wondering where Ted was for an entire fucking episode...  

I like that they fleshed out more characters, but it's A feast for crows without the tremendous writing...   

Interested to see how it ends.

 

I'm not going to lie: I…

I'm not going to lie: I would love some three digit numbers!

I want to see 187 lined up next to 666 and 3.14!

I have always argued that…

I have always argued that the Denver game was louder than the OSU game.  I remember screaming and cheering for a solid 10-15 minutes after the game.   What a great weekend that was... in particular the nystrom goal in the third period vs. maine.  it felt like an explosion

I was at damn near every…

I was at damn near every home game 96-2001 and I remember hearing then about how much crazier it was in the 80s.  

My favorite fond memory is when we hosted the regionals in 02 and 03.  Sadly those memories are coupled with a trip to Minnesota and Buffalo to lose to the stupid Gophers each year...  I did make in on ESPN to flip the world off at the game in Minnesota though, so there is that...

Man, what a great time to be alive that was.

Man, I remember this…

Man, I remember this reference... but can't remember the player.

Who was it again?

Hindsight is always 20/20

Hindsight is always 20/20

but looking back, I'm still a bit fuzzy...

 

 

That said, I will not begrudge the man his decision to choose one sport over another.  And I think its ridiculous for us to bemoan his decision; its not like he wasn't a millionaire either way...

I was there!  it was my…

I was there!  it was my second senior year (you know the bonus one you get if you smoke too much weed as a freshman!)

I went back in 2016... that was a rough ride home.

 

We are winning Saturday.  

I have no doubts.

well played!  I actually…

well played!  I actually laughed out loud.  lol

Call me crazy, but I don't…

Call me crazy, but I don't consider that a miracle win; I see MSU taking that win with a heroic punt rush.  I give them all the respect in the world for that one.   And not to rant too much, we need to accept that they won that game fair and square...

 

Now, spartan bob, that was some bullshit!

The hold on Desmond's two point conversion, that was some bullshit!

Colorado was just bad luck...   but we did beat alabama on a missed extra point all those years back... and we got very lucky during the Kansas comeback with their guys missing free throws.  

You know what one hurts me that we don't talk about much?  OSU back in like 2011 or so beating us in the big ten tournament with a half court shot at the buzzer... of course Jordan Poole paid that one back years later!

Love gambling, by far my…

Love gambling, by far my favorite sin...

You can't beat weber's Inn. …

You can't beat weber's Inn.  Awesome rooms, nice pool, awesome backdoor deck hidden behind the pool..  and the food is top notch.

Quick question:  how many of…

Quick question:  how many of you remember how loud the stadium was that day when Braylon scored an 80 yard bomb touchdown in the second half? It was called back, but I always remember that as the loudest I have ever heard our stadium!

Seriously, it wan an explosion to rival the woodson taking the punt to the house in 97

Thanks for sharing!

I was…

Thanks for sharing!

I was at that game (junior year) and man was it a long, sad, ride home.    I did get to tell Lee Corso to fuck off to his face (he kept picking against us in 97), but I would have rather we won.

Amazing stadium.

Michigan 20

Georgia 3

 

A…

Michigan 20

Georgia 3

 

A win will cause me to declare Alabama is next; imagine beating OSU, Alabama, and Georgia who are the clear cut top 3, outside of us, in my mind.  That would be as impressive of four game run(include iowa) as any i can think of.

A lose will cause me to go back and watch the OSU game with glee... seriously its all gravy at this point. 

 

 

We don't celebrate…

We don't celebrate colonization in my household, so no 'Thanksgiving'.

I am eagerly waiting our victory Saturday afternoon!

 

 

When we win I may just cry…

When we win I may just cry tears of joy... it's just been so long coming.  

 

If we lose, well then back to the drawing board.  I would like to win a bowl game for once and have something to look forward to going into next year.

Anyone else go to adam sandler at hill auditorium the night before the game?

maybe Harbaugh is in play?    Too soon?

apparently many of us agree…

Go check it out. I dig how the story is told, and as a chess player I liked how it developed.

Going to have to wait for the new coach to be chosen to see who reaffirms their commitment.

 

Queens Gambit was solid.

you still have to have…

you still have to have integrity.

I don't know when Harbaugh lost it... somewhere in Columbus with a ten point lead in the fourth quarter... but its been downhill since.

And our players are just going through the motions.

Fire everyone.

actually, they are…

actually, they are collecting all the money on wisconsin... which is a good sign for us....

 

At this point however, I feel like we should know who is playing.

 

I took michigan to win the first half and the game  15 $ paid 105.  seem to me like we have a better chance than the odds pay there.... but what do I know?

Only thing I see in our…

Only thing I see in our favor is that all the money in vegas is on Wisconsin.  And the line keeps moving..
