6 days 3 hours ago	No it's not tough to argue.	No it's not tough to argue. You looked like idiots at the time and with the benefit of hindsight you still look like idiots today. You're going to look like idiots when you start calling for Coach Harbaugh's head when we don't win the Big Ten this season, too.

The team will be very talented, particularly if Shea is eligible to run the offense and if we can find a tackle to protect him. However the strength of schedule is absolutely brutal. I'm predicting a 9 win season and more moping, uninformed bitching, and general obnoxiousness from fans.
1 week 2 days ago	Isn't it amazing how the	Isn't it amazing how the decisions of the coaches seem to make a lot more sense when we aren't operating with only 2% of the information that they have? That's a lesson that many posters here would do well to keep in mind....
1 week 2 days ago	Also he's correct that Nick	Also he's correct that Nick Baumgardner doesn't know much of anything about Football. He literally just reads this blog and then adds a little more "Michigan must do better" spin to it. Also his editors at Mlive were trash and frankly I don't think he's particularly intelligent or a good writer to begin with.

4 weeks 4 days ago	Love that this thread exists	Love that this thread exists here #MichiganDifference. I was scraping possession data for NCAA hoops games from espn.com a couple years ago but they made some changes to their website which broke my method and I haven't bothered fixing it. I am very curious to learn if there is any free possession level data that is available, since my understanding (as of the last time I looked, which was a couple years ago) was that you had to pay for it.
5 weeks 1 day ago	I'm not so sure UMBC could do	I'm not so sure UMBC could do that again on any given night. On so many possessions in that game, UMBC took awful shots but the ball just kept going in. Not only were they lucky with low percentage circus layups, but they also shot 50% from downtown which means their team average for the game was higher than any of thir individual averages for the entire season. Meanwhile UVA shot 18% from downtown.

7 weeks 5 days ago	There was no sham department	There was no sham department at UNC. There was a sham course within a department. I knew students that took AFAM courses and had to work their asses off. They were more pissed than anyone else about the scandal, because they worked their asses off just for future employers to say "Oh, you were in the AFAM department at UNC? LOL"

9 weeks 16 hours ago	The offense doesn't need a	The offense doesn't need a major reboot, lol. Our power running game was very good last season and will be even better this season. We need to develop our receivers, we need to find or develop tackles, and we need a QB that can read a defense and complete accurate and on time passes. Receivers and QB are very likely to improve next season. OT will be a big question mark.
9 weeks 16 hours ago	Like it or not (I personally	Like it or not (I personally dislike it) Harbaugh/Michigan are on a timer. Fans are not rational and expectations are not reasonable given the current circumstances. We have the toughest schedule in the country next year, but many fans are going to be furious if we don't win the conference and go to the playoffs. Winning now is not only the best thing for Harbaugh; it's obviously the best thing for Michigan. Losing means further years or instability and doubt, potentially for years to come if we fire our coach or fail to produce a product on field that can sustain good recruiting. We have a roster that is very talented, and already has a lot of experience with a lot of players poised to make year 2 leaps. But again, we It makes a lot of sense to bring in a coach who is going to be good at scouting, game planning, and player development -- particularly a WR specialist with the young and talented receiver corps that we have. Let's see what happens. Next season is going to be very interesting. Will Patterson be elligible? If he is, will he quickly win the job and establish himself or will the margins be close enough to merit an extended battle? And will anyone emerge at tackle? The pressure is going to be extremely high and the margin for error will be miniscule. I have faith in our staff and program if given enough time, but I do not have much faith in the fanbase.
10 weeks 4 days ago	Boo this man for well	Boo this man for well reasoned analysis and recognition that the professional coaches do in fact know some things about the game of football! We demand simple, easy, and satisfying answers to all of our problems!
11 weeks 3 days ago	The part that you pulled out	The part that you pulled out of your ass is the inference of a causal relationship between having two coaches and the struggles of the OL. You can say with certainty that they had two coaches. You can say with certainty that the OL struggled. You cannot say with certainty that the reason for the struggle was having two different OL coaches. So yes, I am right. You did pull it out of your ass.
