If MGoBlog doesn't get a new banner, can Lake Michigan be added to the map in the lower left corner? It irks me that Michigan's namesake Great Lake is missing, as if it's been filled in.
Of course, in the men's basketball, in 1989 Michigan won the NCAA championship and the Pistons won the NBA championship. This has also happened a few times for California with UCLA and the Lakers, not sure of any other examples.
People always say this, but Jim has something that John doesn't have, which is an FBS Championship. Given that there are 130+ FBS teams, and you generally only keep star players for two or three years, it a much greater accomplishment to will an FBS Championship. Most NFL coaches aren't even in control of their roster, the teams are mostly built by the GM and scouts.
Reminds me of late 2014 in the final days of Harbaugh's tenure and the speculation that he would coach at his alma mater. I sometimes used to listen to the Mike & Mike Show on my commute into work, and whenever the Harbaugh to Michigan topic would come up, Mike Golic would repeatedly smugly proclaim "No a chance!".
Michigan played 60 quarters of football. 49+2+2 only equals 53. Plus, your breakdown by quarter, added together, shows 43-9-8 (which actually does add up to 60). Am I missing something?
"Both he and Will had had an interception but Mike's was returned for 84 yards which led to 7 points. Will's led to three."
Mike and Will don't play offense so how is it relevant how many points followed their interceptions? They don't have any control over that. Also, Will's interception was a much more difficult, acrobatic catch, and probably more impactful.
Interesting. In 1995, Lemming had Tom Brady ranked as the 6th best pro-style quarterback, which probably translates as 4 star. Bobby Sablehaus was the top ranked pro-style quarterback, and his choices were down to Florida and Michigan. He picked Florida, and as a result, Tom Brady was Michigan bound.
That's the biggest question: How can Florida State go from #4 to #5 after beating the #15 ranked team, especially after the #1 team fell five spots? In every other instance, that team would move up one spot to #3, not drop one spot to #5. It's bonkers.
Yes, I’ve seen recoveries after the whistle was blown in similar situations. I don’t know why that is so controversial, even Dean Blandino agreed with that aspect of the play.
This is what I don't understand about Fox. Do they seriously want Michigan to get hammered by the Big Ten and NCAA, possibly pushing Michigan to leave for another conference not covered by Fox?
NFL: Green Bay 819 Division I: University of Michigan 1000
Division II: Pittsburg State University 745
Division III: University of Mount Union 851
NAIA: ? (unlikely to be even near 1000)
Community: College ? (unlikely to be even near 1000)
High School: Valdosta High School 951
A couple important things you are missing. If Michigan left for the ACC, 1) the money would go up in the ACC and 2) go down in the Big Ten. You think Fox and NBC are going to pay the same without Michigan in the Big Ten?
Friends @umich I’m going to sleep. You should too. Even if the judge has finished her writing, it’s not clear there is somebody to file it and put it on pacer (court doc system) until the am. But justice will prevail for @CoachJim4UM and @UMichFootball. You will see.#Goblue
That's a good point. Petitti is new to the Big Ten, new to college football (and college sports in general), and doesn't have any experience dealing with the NCAA. I don't think the other Big Ten ADs and coaches would have pulled this if there was more experienced leadership.

That's not exactly true, because Michigan is going to win it again next year.

Plus, Michigan. 15-0, national championship, first team at any level to reach 1000 wins.

Isn't Las Vegas favored to remove the interim tag from Antonio Pierce and keep him as head coach?

This is a nice, high resolution video of the parade.

Also, the most times Iowa’s been scored upon (six).
Beat Iowa!

Go blue!
Beat Iowa!
Extend Harbaugh!
Ohio State (58%) has a better chance than if Michigan loses to Iowa (50%)?
Makes no sense. That's basically punishing Michigan for playing an extra game in the Big Ten Championship Game.

I realize that this isn't necessarily an indictment of Tony Annese, but his sister in law stole nearly $900k from a hotel in Allendale.

Is Sparty still stonewalling the FOIA to find out who paid Tucker's contract? I've lost track it dragged on so long.
Yes, cleverly used a cash operation to hide what's going on...
...but also, stupidly used Venmo to publicly display payments to the "spies"!
Yes.
Michigan women crush Oakland, 80-39.
It's for the schadenfreude.
It's weird how the media and fans ignore the fact that the SEC only plays eight conference opponents and all of them play FCS opponents.
Alabama is going to play FCS Chattanooga
Arkansas played FCS Western Carolina
Auburn played FCS Samford
Florida played FCS McNeese State
Georgia played FCS UT Martin
Kentucky played FCS Eastern Kentucky
LSU played FCS Grambling State
Ole Miss is played FCS Mercer
Mississippi State played FCS Southeastern Louisiana
Missouri played FCS South Dakota
South Carolina played FCS Furman
Tennessee played FCS Austin Peay
Texas A&M is going to play FCS Abilene Christian
Vanderbilt played FCS Alabama A&M
The last time Michigan played an FCS team was in 2010, and all SEC teams do it on a yearly basis.

Actually, JJ threw a pass in the 4th but there was pass interference.
That's not true. Most Big Ten teams are in the EST.
EST (8 teams):
Indiana
Maryland
Michigan
Michigan State
Ohio State
Penn State
Purdue
Rutgers
CST (6 teams):
Illinois
Iowa
Minnesota
Nebraska
Northwestern
Wisconsin
Well, the judge has to let the University of Michigan and Jim Harbaugh know sometime before the game starts.

Did you forget to roll back your clocks on Sunday?
Can you imagine the fury of Fox and NBC towards the Big Ten and Petitti if Michigan bolts for another conference?
And Texas is probably the closest peer to Michigan from both an academic and athletic standpoint.
Is there a typo there?
Thanks for this analysis, good stuff.

This one is laughable. How would be evidence of any wrongdoing?
Blue Wall!!!
Exactly. Now you're getting it!
Funny, because the slappies at r/cfb keep proclaiming there's mountains of evidence, yet we've yet to see any specific evidence.
