Doesn't all off the garbage…

Doesn't all off the garbage that goes into the coffee flavored tide pods have to be made and driven around too? Presumably those little turds are manufactured somewhere and it seems like a sack of beans would have less of a footprint. It's like the Juicero all over again. At least we agree about the taste. 

This. I'm all for…

This. I'm all for advertisers reading the market and satisfying their obligation to investors, particularly if it that means bending to social pressure.

The ironic whining about snowflakes and wokeness is irritating.

Some of the most conservative of us complain about "degenerates" ruining the country and are unable to recognize a free society expressing itself.

The youth today live in a world I don't understand with problems I never had. I'm going to have to trust them to lead and accept their decisions. 

It's all people infringing…

It's all people infringing on your civil liberties, rights, and freedom, huh? If that's the most important thing then I can safely assume you're voting for people that support the rights of women and LGBTQ folks. You're not? Oh, right. It's all about you not liberty.

Go back to 4chan.

To be honest I stopped when…

To be honest I stopped when I saw the word numbers in quotations. You people are unbelievable. Just admit the earth is flat, Q is all knowing, and climate change is more numbers lying so that we can all laugh at you more.

I think you mean it is…

I think you mean it is unfortunate that they won't be able to host postseason games. It is unfair to the United States, black people, and the thousands of michigan volunteers that fought and died putting that traitor rag in the dirt to not take all possible action to wipe it from public existence. It belongs in books and museums with all of the other inhuman loser crap. The peckerwoods and rubes are just going to have to learn to read or visit a museum for once in their lives if they want some confederate history.

The Lions may have lost…

The Lions may have lost regardless of the call, but come on. Letting them play the game in that situation is better than fixing the outcome. Don't throw the flag unless its in the effects the play... and make sure it's actually a penalty!

So much this. It may not…

So much this. It may not even be a question of who's the better QB, change itself can be a catalyst. Give the team a fresh start and wipe away some of the bitter feelings about past performances.

Our performance against OSU…

Our performance against OSU pre-Harbaugh is not relevant to his own record against them. Harbaugh is a good coach and he got OSU at their best but at this point he needs to win at least 3 of the next 6 to have any kind of legacy at Michigan. Nobody can say whether or not a change is the right thing but if things don't improve next year he has to go. 6 years and Michigan's respectable talent ought to have been enough to generate at least one shot at the B1G title or he just isn't the coach we thought he was.

The plan is never to let the…

The plan is never to let the game come down to the last possession with your D on the field. So that would make me nervous if it's the case. I'm afraid the D is not as strong as the stats suggest either, what with giving up about 10 conversions on 3rd and long. You're right about PSU dropping points on us

Controlling salaries and…

Controlling salaries and keeping the game pure and clean is way beyond the limits of capitalism.

What are you talking about?…

What are you talking about? Money fixes everything on this planet; once upon upon a time it could even keep you out of hell! With few exceptions, we are not talking about enough money to destroy lives (no effing knitting?).

I know a lot of people think that money makes poor people (students in this case) lazy and that giving wealthy people money motivates them, but come on. Don't assume they're all a bunch of hammerheads who couldn't possibly be trusted to handle a little money. Most people waste their money, particularly the wealthy. Test the market. I'm sure people will offer health insurance and retirement as incentives on top of their contributions to social security and Medicare. 

We agree that they are entitled to their labor, but don't tell them how to spend that sweet, hard won plunder.

Any sign of adversity? We're a quarter of the way through the season. 

At this point they should just pump the Benny hill music through the speakers in the Big House every time we snap the ball.

Think more creatively? You're equivocating about the meaning of the word "if".

I think my take is more rationale than self loathing. We can agree to disagree. 

Ifs and buts. Fact: the TD…

Ifs and buts. Fact: the TD was called back. Regardless, the offense was supposed to be the strength of our team this year and they looked totally dysfunctional. I would say that Army deserved to win that game over us because they came into the Big House as a huge underdog, took the initiative, and dictated the flow of the game.

The spirit of the penalty is…

The spirit of the penalty is to prevent exactly that type of dangerous hit. He may have touched with the shoulder first but his intent, complete with launch, was to destroy the receiver. Nobody would have questioned the refs judgment had the call stood. Are you trying to protect kids or just teach them how to hit dangerously with more nuance?

Why bother with the rule if you aren't going to use it as a tool to take the emphasis off head hunting and improve safety?

Do you hear yourself? Good…

Do you hear yourself? Good coaches losing on the road intentionally waste a play running for 1 or fewer yards (leaving themselves in 2nd & 9 or 3rd & 6) between 6 and 8 times a game to set up a 20 yard run sometime in the future?

Where does this belief stem from that you have to run crappy plays to set up good ones? I didn't realize this was the secret sauce Alabama and OSU were using all these years. This kind of logic says Jim took the loss at ND to preserve his "good" plays. He was saving the old "7 plays, 7 yards, then sting em for 20" to bail the team out on the road at NW.

Pain is just mental? Some people really do think they're special. Your anecdote about a quad injury is just that. Treating pain as some mental obstacle is a poor prescription for health.

If the 2016 schedule was…

If the 2016 schedule was more difficult in retrospect, that means the 2018 schedule is subject to change as well. It is highly doubtful that when the year is done there will still be five top 12 teams on our schedule.

Personally, I think ND takes a big step back, and MSU is capped at ten wins (they should have been an eight or nine win team last year). I think Michigan, OSU, and Wisconsin inflict a lot of losses on the other teams

Fine. He's a safety that plays every down at the line of scrimmage and makes a really good linebacker. This whole line of reasoning is academic at best and disingenuous at worst.

Wow. You took a break from listening to Hawthorne Heights in your basement to post THIS take?

While it has never been more difficult to win this conference I can still say with confidence that the worst years in UofM football history are behind us. Live in the past and fear defeat or embrace the challenge and believe in the team.

25% of military forces in country in vietnam we're draftees. Boomers sure make it sound like everyone they knew served their country against their will and died for a cause they didn't support. They then imposed their own bogus war on younger generations. May the circle be unbroken.

Nice argument. You do…

Nice argument. You do realize it was a baby boomer that created a new cold war in the "war on terrorism" that has involved millenial and X generations in continuous combat for almost 20 years, right? You do realize the social, political, and economic cost will be paid by? You guessed it. 

There are legitimate…

There are legitimate generational differences that are difficult to ignore. That Boomers got middle-class incomes from 12 years of free education is probably the most notable.

Well, that is a compelling case. I think you should ban Brian for breaking the rules.

Brian makes rules. You follow rules. There is no ambiguity here.

Just come out and call Brian an asshole you insufferable wimp. At least then you would be respectable.

I desperately want the app back. I'm sorry to say that my friends and I all report fewer visits since the app went the way of the dodo. It was just too convenient. Monetize it however you have too with ads or whatever... Just bring it back.

I don't mean to poopoo the hard work done with getting 3.0 off the ground but in fairness I never complained about the site because I used the app almost exclusively.

You're probably not offended because your race has never hurt you. That's okay and it's a good thing. People come up with chips on their shoulders about almost anything from living up to standards set by older siblings or being too short. In every case we just try to respect people's sensitivities, and almost nobody is sensitive about being white. The standards are different for everyone, that's just the way it is.

Paul Jokisch visiting our kindergarten class in Ann Arbor is the earliest UofM football thing I remember. I was born in A2 though... it was Michigan and the Tigers for me as long as I can remember.
