Could not agree more. Well said.

Backyard Kitchen and Tap. It’s the alumni bar for San Diego. Pacific Beach area. Great place, I’ve been there twice.

A private lot that is owned by those that manage it. Would like to know I have a spot through the season.

The term ‘tailgating’…

The term ‘tailgating’ originates from partying from the tailgate of your pickup truck; which are not allowed at the lot.

Depends on the career, but If looking for a cool place to live with multiple industries, low cost of living, the first to come to mind are Nashville, Austin, Cincinnati, Minneapolis.

How about Paul Chryst?

I would still say OSU 2016.  Big stage, the team overcame a lot in that game as well, and essentially won.

Four more losses? Which games? 

Spath is a closet Sparty; or…

Spath is a closet Sparty; or at least seems to reflect what Sparty wants to hear..any negative always an issue with the ‘program’ or coaching, or some grave systemic problem. And while I am no expert, his football analysis seems very simplistic, i.e., running the football more on first down against Army is overly ‘conservative ‘.

Our 'Up North' is truly a treasure, I think sometimes taken for granted.

My wife and I spend a weekend camping recently, close to Mackinaw City.  Truly beautiful, great weather, and relaxing times around the campfire.

Super 5K in Novi on Super Bowl Sunday, Plymouth Father’s Day run, Oberun in Ypsilanti are fun 5Ks.

Rock CF is a good half, Bayshore half and full, Ann Arbor marathon.

If you want to travel, i would recommend flying pig in Cincinnati, Richmond Marathon, and Philadelphia.

At least you’re committed to be wrong once.

Which team are you…

Which team are you predicting they lose to?

Why do you think they will…

Why do you think they will lose one road game? Just because? How does our new offense match up with Wisconsin or Penn State? 

SE Michigan. Two great…

SE Michigan. Two great cities, Detroit and Ann Arbor. No catastrophic weather events or natural disasters. Surrounded by the great lakes. Weather is beautiful all year round, if you have at least one winter sport that you enjoy, and a fireplace. 

I’ve noticed in last couple…

I’ve noticed in last couple of years my metabolism slowing down as well, due to age.

I have lost about 10 pounds recently over about a month, by cutting out simple carbs. No beer, potatoes, pasta, beans, rice, bread of any kind. I’ve alllowed only protein and green vegetables.

And about 6 hours of cardio exercise per week.

Michigan should be favored to win all four games.

Perhaps be shouldn’t sink to their level. I’m ~20 years your junior, and agree with you. 

Sounds familiar.

What is the difference…

What is the difference between Michigan now and Clemson and Alabama after year 4 of Dabo and Saban?

Couldn’t have asked for more with this win. Lead the whole way, comfortably, and now Johns’ coming out party.

Yes, as they did in four big games last year; MSU, Wisconsin, and PSU, at NW.

 Bringing in great talent at…

 Bringing in great talent at RB and DB, Hudson is coming back. Biggest area of improvement needed is OL, and second year starter at QB. Predicting 3-4 losses at this point is silly.

Great news, and good for him…

Great news, and good for him.

It is way out of date, as usual.

I think we are both right…

I think we are both right here...doesn’t mean this offense will not evolve...it will, but only with depth and experience. 

Amen.

Amen.

Best and most reasonable…

Best and most reasonable post by far on this topic. Give it time, it will come. We are going to love this offense once we have the personnel and depth in place.

By the way, John Belein went 67-67 first four years at Michigan, and now is the best coach in men’s college basketball, by any definition, especially considering the values of the University. Harbaugh will get there in the same way, with the same values. 

 

 

 

 

All of these points, and not…

All of these points, and not one regarding execution and player personnel. This system is taking time to develop with the right depth and talent for it. 

Why not? He’s held several…

Why not? He’s held several positions of incremental responsibility and our backs play well, and also a good recruiter.

He recruited Patterson,…

He recruited Patterson, albeit as a transfer. That still counts. Assuming Patterson starts next year, that leaves either 1 year of being the starter for Peters, or 2 for McCaffery. What’s wrong with that? 

Bottom line is Michigan has…

Bottom line is Michigan has not beaten OSU under Harbaugh yet. They have had the better team every year except 2016. That will not be the case going forward, in my opinion, if Michigan sticks with Harbaugh.

Would be interesting to see…

Would be interesting to see the impact on programs that rely solely on talent and getting players to the NFL, i.e., Alabama, OSU. Less risk for Michigan, ND, Stanford..

MSU football only succeeds…

MSU football only succeeds when Michigan is down. .500 program at best for the foreseeable future.

Excellent. 

Excellent. 

Seems irresponsible to…

Seems irresponsible to spread transfer rumors if the source is not vetted/weak. 

if you are a Spartan fan,…

if you are a Spartan fan, you desperately want Michigan to be stupid enough to fire Harbaugh. 

Just need the line play…

Just need the line play. Getting better, but not there yet.

You have the best public…

You have the best public school in the world here, with a fantastic engineering program. If she really wants to go to Princeton, chip in the $30K per year.

I can’t imagine the shape of these lemons.

If left with 2 more…

If left with 2 more scholarships, I would rather see them given to Tru Wilson and Jake Moody.

Could it be that there is…

Could it be that there is technically not enough room in the class past 25 at the moment?

And some of those lottery tickets fill specific position needs (viper) and could  have higher impact and contribution.

ESPN has Michigan’s class at #4.

You are not a realist. You think that being pessimistic makes you seem more sophisticated than everyone else.
