This tells the story very well I believe -

2023-24               323 of 362

2022-23               117 of 363

2021-22               218 of 358

2020-21               47 of 348

2019-20               102 of 353

Simple solution - get rid of…

Simple solution - always play "The Game" the week before Thanksgiving and schedule the bye week for M and OSU on Thanksgiving weekend (could use that time to prepare for the B1G Championship Game)....

Jimmy has had more than enough time to underachieve and needs to go back to the NFL. Now.

I have made my decision -…

I have made my decision - can't take underachievement any longer.  Going to the ND game based on a commitment already made but that will be it until JH is back in the NFL.

Five years is enough.

JH deserves the same salary…

JH deserves the same salary.....as long as the Miami Dolphins are paying it.

Ross is better.

Why change? 

Nine Rose Bowls For Me
  • 1977: USC 14, Michigan 6
  • 1978: Washington 27, Michigan 20
  • 1979: USC 17, Michigan 10
  • 1981: Michigan 23, Washington 6
  • 1983: UCLA 24, Michigan 14
  • 1987: Arizona State 22, Michigan 15
  • 1989: Michigan 22, USC 14
  • 1990: USC 17, Michigan 10
  • 1998: Michigan 21, Washington State 16
2. What's your favorite Rose Bowl memory?  
 
Tie - 1981 and 1998. Bo's first and my first RB victory, and the NC.
 
3. Will you attend Michigan's next Rose Bowl?
 
Yes. We don't go very often these days and it's an awesome experience. And I will tour the float building garages the night before the parade. Amazing also.
 
4. Outside of the Big House, is there another stadium you like as much the Rose Bowl? Nope - it's the best bowl venue and it's not close.
A huge inexcusable miss was the goaltending call.....

How the hell can they miss that? 

Believe it or not....

Z hits two free throws with 5 seconds left to go up 5, and a 3 at the buzzer for Villanova makes the final: Michigan - 81  Villanova -79

If Jimmy does not overhaul his offensive staff and strategy.....

6-6 is about right. The play selection and game planning were the worst this year and could continue without massive changes.

Our second half scoring in the 5 losses is clear proof of the gross incompetance -  23 total points in 10 quarters - that was a cruel joke played on alums and fans.

I would like to finally see what JOK can do if Jimmy.....

game plans around his strengths. 

  • All plays from the gun
  • Throw at least half the time on 1st down - 5-7 yard freebies
  • Two reads at most and throw quickly - if nothing there throw away or run.
  • Rollouts (waggle and bootleg)
  • 4-5 deep shots ON FIRST DOWN

I blame the coach if he doesn't adjust to the QB's strengths and insists on a pro/power game plan that not all QB's can master.

Such a huge concession by the B1G.....

letting a player play the next game when HE SHOULDN'T have been kicked out in the first place!

And you can say the B1G is very consistent - they give the Blue the shaft virtually every week. Remind me why we stand for this abuse? 

 

Dallas area....

Lived there for 5 years....favorite places are the West End in Dallas and Stockyards in Fort Worth (very underrated). Can stay near Jerryworld in Arlington and it is close to Ft. Worth. 

The area is geographically large so expect to drive quite a bit.  

Phelps.....and not close.

Bolt is the fastest main in history....but swimming so many different events is much harder and has a great deal of variables to overcome.

Rudock great under pressure....

and hate to compare him to a Sparty.....but....his career will likely be like Cousins'. Backup early, starter later on. Also, may I say it here, reminds me of Montana.

A huge yawn.....

don't see where he will help. And thank you that he did not accept our HC position - maybe 10% better than what we got.

What's next?

NFL needs to immediately regulate:

  • Shoelace tension
  • Amount of tape on ankles
  • Sleeve length on Jerseys
  • Amount of water/Gatoraid allowed per player/game
  • Equalize number of fans in the stands in playoff games - each team gets exactly the same
  • Temperature in locker rooms

Deflategate is a complete joke.

Unbelievable class.....

all the way around:

  • Hatch - class
  • Beilein - class
  • UM Basketball - class
  • UM - class
  • B1G - class (yes even they did the right and classy thing)

This whole situation has been handled unbelievably well - and kudos to all. And best of all, a great young man will be getting a wonderful education.

 

 

I love GR and grew up 30 minutes away.....

but.....for your sanity and to maintain your marriage, look for another position in Phoenix.

Blue and Joe, you should be in charge of uniform design. These look great!

Stupid......

and ignorant does not always equal illegal.

In fact, there are many people with a variety of prejudices who frequently offer stupid and ignorant discourse (and many are employed in roles in the government) and are still walking around. 

Freedom of speech is a two edged sword.

Numbers retired permanently.....

11, 21, 47, 48, 87, 98.....and 1 and 2 given out only when there is a returning All-American.

I like the changes.....

the following to be removed:

  • No more piped in crappy music - must feature our world class band
  • No more ticket promotions (won't need now.....)
  • No apologies to other coaches
Three days after his last SF game......

then we move on to Plan A alternates - Stoops, Les, Mora. NO PLAN B's.....

That is an absolute joke....

he should be on the list.....

K State will beat Baylor.....

count on it (they actually have a semi-defense which Baylor does not).

Two changes and I am good....

Cazzie and Gary Grant on, Crawford and Rose off.

Good game plan....

we need to get a few well-timed turnovers and not give up any to have a chance (the last thing the defense needs is a short field).

It is always about execution and for the most part we have been good-average on defense all year. But luck and taking advantage of breaks could loom large in this game.

Expectations are a bit higher.....

11-2 at least first year, 10-3 second and 12-1 third. IT SHOULD NOT TAKE 5 YEARS!

I do NOT want Hoke to be fired.....

I simply want a collosal mistake in hiring an unqualified head coach to FINALLY be corrected. It is not his fault he is so bad and is in over his head - it is the fault of those who put him in charge. The Peter Principle is definitely displayed here in spades (people will rise to the level of their incompetence).

Time for him to be "all he can be", which is a defensive line coach at a Power 5 school or with an NFL team. I am out.

 

 

A&M wins by 10.....

Alabama will not control the ball like they did last season (3 O Linemen were NFL first rounders)

Time to trade the bum while he is worth something.....

he has shown over and over to be a very dirty player. I would have suspended him without pay for the season.That "block" was ridiculous.

Ever play the U Golf Course?

The Buckeye trees have been here for decades.....look down the right side of the 9th fairway from 100 yards in.....
