So now I have to question…

So now I have to question why we hadn't heard a peep about his two prior DUI's before this. But yeah 3 now, this guy needs to be fired, zero question about it.

You know what also never…

You know what also never stops? Something called Uber.

An uber is only a few phone…

An uber is only a few phone clicks away, there is zero excuse to be drunk driving in this day and age. So if he is fired I have zero sympathy for a grown ass man making that decision.

There is zero excuse for…

There is zero excuse for drunk driving in this day and age when an uber is a couple of phone clicks away. People can make excuses for it all they want, but it really is a very simple thing to avoid doing. The facts are anyone who drives drunk is risking killing others because they couldn't be bothered to do something simple. There is no grey area, it's black and white, you carry something with you every day that makes it very easy to not drink and drive.

I believe some people have…

I believe some people have far too high of a threshold for what they consider can't miss. Personally I think someone like Dusty May of FAU would be a great hire for instance, but for some people he doesn't meet their ridiculously high threshold. As others have said there is zero chance JB wants anything to do with college basketball in 2024. 

Yeah, no, how about we leave…

Yeah, no, how about we leave the alleged domestic abusers to the SEC. Yes I know the charges were dropped but just because the victim doesn't want to proceed doesn't mean he is innocent. She still had visible physical evidence on her after all. There is zero reason to go after people with character questions when you have other guys out there that you could take a run at.

You are correct, it was 2014…

You are correct, it was 2014, but the point and comparison does remain the same.

If Warde brings Howard back…

If Warde brings Howard back this would be no different than if Hoke was somehow brought back after 2014. If this is any indication though Warde is trying to talk himself into doing it with some warped viewpoint of what effort actually looks like.

Howards can say whatever he…

Howard can say whatever he wants and I wouldn't expect him to say anything differently than what he did, but I would rather Warde not spew delusional nonsense. I am not concerned about Howard, I am concerned about the guy who needs to do what needs to be done, but clearly has some kind of delusional viewpoint that might prevent him from doing so.

Warde is just delusional if…

Warde is just delusional if he truly thinks that, even early the season before things got ugly the effort on defense and the boards was severely lacking. And then after that there was more or less none.

Smart and May would be my…

Smart or May would be my choices when you consider their coaching ability plus a decent chance of being convinced to come here.

Hell no to Sampson, Calipari…

Hell no to Sampson, Self, Calipari or Pearl. All have baggage and questionable character/morals. None of those would leave their current situations anyways.

You know Marquette is power…

You know Marquette is power five right?

Worst in UM history

Worst in UM history

Even if you want to give…

Even if you want to give Howard one good year as a HC in 21, that it is still only one good season as a HC for a positive data point. Harbaugh had multiple good to great seasons at the NFL and college level by 2020. One data point versus many, not the same thing at all.

The biggest pause to me is…

The biggest pause to me is about Williams attitude and personality. Acting entitled and like a prima donna already without having played a down in the NFL.

Well also the fact that…

Well also the fact that Williams seems like a complete and utter diva personality. That alone would cause me to take JJ over him.

Given what I have seen with…

Given what I have seen from HC probably a squad even with those two guys is a bubble team at best.

They literally have nothing…

They literally have nothing to do with one another. Zero reason UM shouldn't have a good program in both. The only thing that prevents that from happening is poor coaching. I really have zero idea why this nonsense is repeated continually on this board.

And I will personally watch…

And I will personally watch personally zero games next year if this comes to pass. There is zero  rational reasons to keep JH at this point.

Well insurance companies…

Well insurance companies could fucking start by covering it in people with symptoms regardless of age. Found it out the hard way today that it doesn't matter how bad, frequent or worrying your symptoms are, they will stick you with the whole bill regardless if you don't reach their age requirement. Luckily I can afford it, even if it sucks, but a lot of other people maybe couldn't. 

Well as someone who was just…

Well as someone who was just told by Aetna today they essentially wouldn't cover anything because I have actual severe pain and it considered diagnostic that is even bigger BS. Both prevention and diagnostic when you actually have symptoms should be covered.

Could be worse, you could be…

Could be worse, you could be someone like me that actually has severe symptoms that are very worrying and now I have to eat the whole cost essentially because of the screening versus diagnostic thing. But yes the age threshold is ridiculously high based on the actual current stats of more people under 45 having serious issues. But we live in a country where essentially nothing is done for the benefit of the actual health insurance holder as the first consideration. Pretty much I was told today by Aetna to either fork over $2,000 on the 20th or you know just risk that my symptoms could be cancer, etc.

 

Aetna doesn't at least, nor…

Aetna doesn't at least, nor do they cover even if you need it like I do because I have actual extreme pain, etc.  I am going to be out $2,000 from my call with them earlier, so that is fucking wonderful. Very cool that I have to eat almost the whole cost when I have actual symptoms that require it. Health insurance in this country is just grand and causes alot of people to put off things until it is too late. 

I mean I know we are kind of…

I mean I know we are kind of joking here, but in all seriousness there is zero reason or excuse for UM not to have a good football and basketball program. Anything else is setting way too low of a bar for either.

The prep is definitely the…

The prep is definitely the part that sucks, especially if you are someone who eats a good amount and at decent intervals during a normal day. I lift weights everyday and do not skip meals at all during a normal day.

Thanks, the second part…

Thanks,the second part after hopefully ruling out anything serious is that I need an actual answer this time. I have tried my own things out over the years to see if it would help like eliminating certain things, eating healthy overall, working out every day, etc but nothing has seemed to make a difference.  Living with chronic pain has not been pleasant, though until recently I at least had some good days.

As someone who had stomach…

As someone who had stomach issues 6-7 years ago and had them looked at only to find nothing, and now having to go back to have them looked again because my pain level and frequency has shot up this is definitely not something I need to hear. Have a colonscopy and upper endoscopy scheduled for the 20th to hopefully rule out anything serious. I am only 35, but Roh was younger than me and others have said this type of cancer has just shot way up in younger people.

I really don't think size is…

I really don't think size is a concern for Blake, I don't think height is that valued in an RB and in terms of muscle composition he is built like an absolute tank.  For his height he is a very large dude, his legs are literally tree trunks. The bigger draft concern for Blake is receiving ability and top end speed as others have noted. Whether it was the added weight or injury or a combination of both he lost a gear from his first couple of years. I think he probably goes in like the 5th would be my guess, 20 years ago he would go higher but the NFL just doesn't value more traditional RB's that much anymore.

I hope all you people…

I would just like to point quite a few people in this thread think this is a bad idea not because of the all black angle, but because Parker has been a blowhard troll his entire career and maybe should not be the headliner for this.  I mean he was trolling just recently calling UM's title tainted, etc after all.

In order to win anything of…

In order to win anything of note you need to build confidence as a team first and clearly this team is laying the much needed groundwork there. Also as the other poster said the NHL at times has been the most random playoff of any of the major sports, just get in, and you honestly never know what can happen.

In addition to the other…

In addition to the other problematic things in the past with Parker doesn't he have a reputation for hating or trolling on any Detroit or Michigan related sports things? That sounds like a riveting listen if I have ever heard of one. Dude is just a grade A blowhard through and through.

I mean no offense OP but…

I mean no offense OP but unless people are oblivious to anything Harbaugh did before 2020 including at previous stops it is glaringly obvious what the difference is. One had an extensive prior track record to make you believe 2020 was an aberration, not to mention the amount of UM players who sat out, etc. The other is a first time HC. There is a world of difference.

I mean Izzo has consistently…

I mean Izzo has consistently been a jackass and does in fact get a pass for it from the media. That is true regardless of the conduct of any other HC's.

Was it really decent though?…

Was it really decent though? I mean they were outshooting them by 10% at one point and still somehow trailing because they have been doing the same unfundamental dumbass stuff all game. 

All I know is whoever comes…

All I know is whoever comes after Howard please value help defense and taking care of the ball as a HC. I can not watch any more seasons of such slop in those areas.

Complete and utter bad…

Bad basketball in every facet of the game in the last 6 min, just a recurring tape on loop in the Howard tenure at this point. 

Pretty much crowd shifting…

Pretty much crowd shifting more vocal MSU as UM fans present realize we have seen this unable to play well the last 10 min of a game story over and over again. And nothing more deflating then the careless unforced turnovers being committed by this team and leading to dunks on the other end.

Both him and Nkamhoua were…

Both him and Nkamhoua were good defenders with their previous teams. 

It is what it is, UM is a…

It is what it is, UM is a trainwreck, and while MSU is disappointing still a tourney team, its not surprising.

I am actually a little…

It is a decent atmosphere given the circumstances. Than again pride against rivals is about all the fans or players have to care about at this point.

Clearly this team is going…

Clearly this team is going for the  outshoot the other team by 10+% and still lose because you do mostly everything else wrong trick.

I mean I would take any…

 I would take any Amaker team over this one at least. I mean what exactly is to sugarcoat here? This team is going to finish last place in the conference for the first time in 40+ years. In a conference that now has more teams in it to theoretically finish ahead to boot. It's pathetic, there is no other way to describe it. Amaker teams were consistently underachieving and frustrating but I wouldn't call them pathetic like this trainwreck.

How the fuck can this team…

How the fuck can this team play with such a low basketball IQ? Like nothing encapsulates this team better than committing a reach in with .5 left on the clock, on a non shooter, at half court. Just a team that plays with -100 basketball IQ. 

I mean at the end of the day…

I mean at the end of the day you shot 50% at home and are still going into halftime trailing because you did the same dumb shit as always and don't value the basketball or play with any fundamentals. So no still not great.

People with an incredibly…

People with an incredibly and quite frankly ridiculously low bar for UM as a program. Same people who I have seen in other threads argue that UM can't go out and get a good coach so they should just keep Howard. There is zero reason the bar should be set that low for UM as a program.

I guess there is no benefit…

I guess there is no benefit to pulling the trigger before the season is over, but not a downside either. Just saying.
