I wonder what our coaches all do in their free time

This is exactly true. Reddit…

This is exactly true. Reddit has moderators who do this stuff for free. Their system automatically removes votes that get negative points.  The highest rated comments move to the top. Impossible to believe we can’t have that here. This message board is so saturated with trolls that I’ve made a conscious effort to avoid using it. 

If I’m Warde I don’t…

If I’m Warde I don’t schedule a service academy. I’m ready to schedule easy, rack up a ton of wins, get a high ranking (even if overrated, idgaf) and repeat a la Georgia, Alabama, Clemson, etc. The CFP committee has shown repeatedly that they do not penalize weak schedules as long as your recruiting is good. 

You, sir, are an idiot.

Zach’s dad mentioned his fiancés son dislocated his knee today. Fiancés son is not Zach Charbonnet. Guarantee this is how the rumor started.

People seem to forget Locksley’s time at New Mexico as HC. I don’t know if he won a single game in his time there.

This is only a big deal if we make it a big deal. Why this warrants its own thread is beyond me. 

OSU, MSU, and ND at home…

OSU, MSU, and ND at home. Definitely buy the season tickets. You can sell one of these tickets for the whole cost of the season ticket bundle. 

Princeton is not as highly…

Princeton is not as highly ranked in engineering as Michigan. I’m a doctoral student in electrical engineering. I did not do undergrad at Michigan.  I never considered Princeton. 

 

Her experience at Princeton would be very different than at Michigan. Princeton is a small ivy, while Michigan is Michigan. That said, people will still look at a Michigan engineering degree with extreme regard. When people learn where I’m getting a PhD, they look at me like I’m Superman. 

 

If she’s interested in doing research, then Michigan hands down is the right choice. The engineering school is significantly larger than Princeton’s. There are many more choices in research here. Going to a small school means you’re limited to whatever the handful of professors there study, and additionally, getting a research position is much more difficult.

I think when the…

I think when the investigations and court cases are over, he likely will be removed as head coach. My comment was only referencing his performance as a coach, and the success his teams have had. 

As an Arizona alum, I can…

As an Arizona alum, I can say that he is very intense. Keep an eye on him on the sideline during a game and youll know what I mean. 

 He consistently has Arizona winning the Pac-12. I’m not proud of the violations committed there, but it is what it is. I think he has been disappointing in the tournament considering the talent he has there. But it’s hard to get rid of a coach who consistently wins the conference championship, always has a high seed in the NCAA tournament, and routinely beats ASU by 30+ points. Not to mention a winning record against UCLA. 

I sure hope so

Well, it's one thing to want

Well, it's one thing to want to play football and it's another thing to focus on academics.  I think it's weird that he didn't end up with many offers.  That's all.  My post was not intended to invoke an argument.  Time to drink.

Holy shit you guys are

Holy shit you guys are cancer.  I complimented the dude.  I'm saying, it's weird that top programs reached out to him and he ignored them because he just didn't want to run a 40 for them.  I wonder how hard he will work at a top academic institution like Michigan if he is self indulgent.  We aren't Ole Miss and academics are important here, as Harbaugh showed by not playing Kareem Walker at all his first year due to academics.  It doesn't matter how good he is if he never goes to class.

 

People like you two make this board a shitty place to discuss our team.  

So nobody cared that Rashan

So nobody cared that Rashan Gary had a 3.8 in hs? Academics do matter, which is why we didn't get the safety and receiver from Ole Miss.

 

You are the only troll here.  Go back to your pathetic life

Are we sure he's not just self indulgent?

Clearly sounds like he can play.  Hopefully he will be OK academically.  Not sure if this was covered in the hello post

Jim Harbaugh's offense has

Jim Harbaugh's offense has never been good here at Michigan.  Never.  It never will be either.  I'm starting to think that the garbage QB play is not because our players suck. It's that our scheme sucks.  Fire Drevno.  Make Jim Harbaugh change his offense or he can leave for the NFL. Neg away, I don't give a fuck.   I'm tired of naive people thinking this is all OK.

True, would be Peters

I live right next to the stadium and play with my dog at the same park that a current team member plays with his dog.  I talk to him often.

I asked about the qb situation not too long ago (before Purdue).  He said that in practice, Speight was hands down our best qb, with O'Korn, Peters, and McCaffrey following in that order.  He disputed reports that Peters had fallen below McCaffrey.  I also asked why Peters wasn't playing since he looked to be our most talented qb.  He said that Peters wasn't as mentally ready as Speight or O'Korn.

Take it for whatever it's worth; with this information combined with the fact that McCaffrey needs to gain serious weight before he will see reliable playing time, I would be willing to bet that Peters would get the nod.

I didn't like sling because I I didn't like sling because I thought it was glitchy. I have YouTube TV and it's great. The UI is wayyyyy better than sling and I get all the ESPN channels, regular broadcast, fox sports, BTN, etc. The only thing i noticed I don't have is NFL Network.
Ohio State is in the same

If Clemson can win it all then we should be in a good position

Ohio State is in the same

Ohio State is in the same boat; they're in the chilly midwest and have a historically strong program.  Also, one could argue that the state of Ohio is a dump and not a desitnation for many reasons.  I would be willing to bet that an M program with B1G rings would be similar to OSU's recruiting over the last few years.  JH might need to win a national championship before he recruits as well as Meyer did this year, though.

I got a BS in mechanical

I got a BS in mechanical engeering and am currently pursuring a PhD in electrical engineering at UM.  My undergrad was at U. Arizona, where the astronomy/astrophysics programs are highly regarded.  If he is interested in these programs, then he should really check out Arizona.  Tuition is reasonable for out of state students and the weather is amazing.

That being said, astrophysics is entirely math.  If he likes math, then he should do fine.  I highly recommend taking calc I in highshool, and perhaps even taking it again freshman year.  I did this and it was extremely beneficial.  Even if he is great at math, he should expect to have to work hard regardless.  I believe astronomy is not as heavy in math but I would double check that.

You should make it very clear to him that astrophysicists/astronomers work almost exclusively in academia.  If he gets an undergrad degree in either, it will be worth zilch until he goes to grad school for a PhD, and even then, academia is outrageously competitive and he will not be guaranteed a job.
