I'm going to give you the…

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you're not an idiot, just uninformed on this topic.

The problem is with how Michigan processes transfer credits. We only allow 60 credits transferred in from any school, and unless they have a specific transfer agreement in place, each one of your classes has to be evaluated for equivalence for a U of M class.

This takes a lot of time, and for a lot of students can mean they lose so many credits they would practically be starting over. Not practical for most student athletes transferring from out of state.

Obviously none of this applies to grad transfers like Olu, so your whole point is completely moot.

You're vastly overthinking this.

Bad things happening to OSU = Good.

THEN read the report and…

THEN read the report and said "yeah this is fine, re-sign him!"

Just wtf

Coach Muckalt pretty much…

Coach Muckalt pretty much plead the 5th on everything in the report. Do a ctrl-f on the report for his name, it's a whole bunch of "does not recall", "was not aware", etc.

Nothing strong either way that I can see.

However he was the Associate Head Coach and therefore does bear some responsibility in the toxic culture in the program.

I don't know.

It's just really fuckin…

It's just really fuckin weird to highlight one point that is not a fireable offense in a 70 page report describing several fireable offenses. You might note that not a single person is arguing he get fired for that.

Or you would if you were actually trying to understand anything, but instead you come in here with some disingenuous straw man, because you have some weird culture war bone to pick. Fix your head dude.

That's a straw man. No one…

That's a straw man. No one here is even talking about Shields. The report makes it very clear that there is a toxic sexist culture, and Pearson at the very least knows about it, does nothing, and lies when asked about it. That is not acceptable and he must be fired. Also Warde Manuel looks really incompetent here.

I wish that were true. More…

I wish that were true. More likely this guy has either been the perpetrator of or at least party to sexual harassment and discrimination, and doesn't think it's a significant problem. You know, those guys who are like "eh what's the big deal". The perpetrators are a small number of men, the enablers are numerically the bigger problem.

It's the persecution fetish…

It's the persecution fetish that people of a certain persuasion seem to have. They have to do some incredible mental gymnastics to make the perpetrator seem like the victim.

Good men don't do what he…

Good men don't do what he did.

... in a court of law. What legal case are you referring to?

It was Bo's job to know. If he didn't, it's still on him. Bo said so himself.

Yeah if Michigan comes out…

Yeah if Michigan comes out and plays a disciplined game I'll be 100% in on them as a title contender. Either way it feels great to just be in the championship game and I'm very proud of this team. This season has been a wonderful surprise

Same here, I'm going to be…

Same here, I'm going to be unintelligible and smiling like a damn fool in all my meetings today. Look like I spent the weekend on coke and hookers.

My kids will always think of the Big House as *that* place now, a win like this can really inject some new life into this program.

If you run to the 10 yard…

If you run to the 10 yard line and fumble it out of bounds, you get it back at the 10.

If you run to the 5 yard line and fumble it out of bounds, you get it back at the 5.

If you run to the 1 yard line and fumble it out of bounds, you get it back at the 1.

If you run it all the way to the endzone and fumble it out of bounds, it's a turnover? What? Why would you not give it back to them at the 1 yard line or something? Or the 5 or whatever. But a turnover? Nonsense

I've never upvoted a buckeye before. This feels gross.

My memory fails me, is this…

My memory fails me, is this from Spartan Stadium, 4th quarter of a shitty game or something?

Only if you buy into the silly fairy tale that everyone in America has a roughly equal shot.

Can their OL keep him clean…

Can their OL keep him clean long enough to *make* those throws though? And will he be able to even read our defense? A lot of QBs can't. We shall see

Yeah I think that's very…

Yeah I think that's very likely, that we see an entire half of JJ against Northwestern. They're a genuinely terrible football team.

We need this guy ready to go when Cade has an off day again.

If the refs want the players…

If the refs want the players to stop playing, they need to signal this to them, in a way that will be clear and perceptible above the chaos of the game... Say, maybe with a whistle?

Special Teams seems like a good place to have a heat seeking missile.

On D he's a perfect fit for Viper, which does not exist anymore.

I felt nervous as soon as he got the ball out, it was just so slow and at such a low arc, going all the way outside... Not a good pass.

Why... Why did you have to…

Why... Why did you have to bring this into my brain?

Yeah because if you are the…

Yeah because if you are the backup on any of those teams you still get a ring

Hell yeah, I think it's a safe bet we're all stoked about the wheels on that kid

McNamara is looking good,…

McNamara is looking good, but not draftable good, and has a couple years of eligibility left. JJ is hot on his heels. Gotta make recruiting high caliber QBs difficult.

Sure you can. You can beat…

Sure you can. You can beat Toledo by more than 3 points. That would be better.

Yeah it's possible Michigan…

Yeah it's possible Michigan has an off day and Rutgers has a great day and keeps it within 2 scores, but I think it's way more likely we pave them 42-10.

Ah Boomer Humor. I guess… Ah Boomer Humor. I guess this was funny in the 70s?

It's bad *because* they are fucking idiots who aren't taking it seriously, hence the surprise that these assholes finally are.

Oh I am a terrible runner…

Oh I am a terrible runner haha. I am always working on all of that, but I need as much help as I can get from my shoes. These are good for running 5Ks and such, I just need something more for the long distance stuff.

And thank you!

I feel like this is a joke…

I feel like this is a joke about our football team's performance?

But on a serious note I had the Michigan Pegasus 36 and they were good, but not durable, and not for distance running. Ran a half marathon in them so my whole outfit was Michigan themed. Didn't go very well :D

Right, those of us in the…

Right, those of us in the favored majority should be silent and look the other way while minorities are mistreated. That's a great way to fix the historical and ongoing oppression of 13% of the population. After all they can just pull themselves up by their bootstraps and fix it on their own.

What a terrible burden, to…

What a terrible burden, to have to think about what you say. How will our culture survive the crushing expectations placed on people to not be complete assholes all the time? Truly we are living in 1939 Germany.

Thanks, I was wondering if MGoBlog user MadMatt believed in this guy or not.

Very important stuff.

Fuck the NBA anyway.

Fuck the NBA anyway.

Kid was a phenomenal college player, I like that they didn't base the award on draftability or something, college basketball is its own sport.

I agree with you about Dickinson's upside tho, this kid is a beast.

This would certainly be the first time anyone ever mistook me for that.

What does a degree in…

What does a degree in General Studies prepare you for though? What What is the ROI for that $60K? I think any parent would worry about these things.

Yeah something is seriously…

Yeah something is seriously fucking wrong in Ann Arbor. We really need to clean house.

In the near term, how the…

In the near term, how the hell we gonna do anything without any DTs or CBs?

In the long term, Harbaugh has had 6 years and there is no end in sight to this. How many more years of the same thing do you need before we call it and start over? I will always love the dude but this isn't working, he's gotta go.

Lol no it's not
