Mack flamed out at Louisville.

Miller has been worse at Cincy than both Cronin. 

Jans is 16-20 in SEC play in two years.

May had middling experience at FAU before catching fire.

Drew is the only one without flaws on your list.

From 2011-2022, Michigan…

From 2011-2022, Michigan played in every tournament but one. Won three B1G titles, two BTT's, made six Sweet 16's and two Final Fours. 2023 was the first team to not make a tournament since 2015.

This past season was his chance to turn things around and he failed. 

Failing is fine and not an indictment on one's life. He'll have an opportunity to learn and in the future, succeed. 

Don Thomas is in shambles.

Don Thomas is in shambles.

Looking at the big picture,…

Looking at the big picture, my bet is these articles being released are a ploy to get Howard to resign with a buyout and give backing to a firing without paying a buyout. My guess is Juwan will have the option to pursue the former, and if not, the latter will occur.

Reading rumblings that Juwan…

Reading rumblings that Juwan may resign.

In the context of the…

In the context of the previous six years (all Sweet 16+'s, 2 BTT wins, 1 BT championship), 2022-2023 was the dud.

Which would've made this past season the one chance to turn it around.

You're not necessarily …

You're not necessarily "backing it up" either. Both of y'all are citing sources and neither have mentioned that person by name. MJ, you *seem* more viable, as your timeline makes more logical sense, but you're both in the same boat.

In terms of his playing…

In terms of his playing career and legacy at Michigan, I can understand why he's pissed. 

But from the outside, it seems he's a bit delusional in terms of his coaching experience and success. The typical progression is to go from position coach to coordinator to head coach. He couldn't have seriously thought he was gonna get that Indiana job, right? And he should've understood that Sherrone would've wanted someone who's already been a coordinator to take the position in his first year.

Hart needs to try to cut his teeth with an experienced coach as a coordinator or try to get a non-power 5 HC and show he's capable of a major position. 

Hire a defensive-minded head…

Hire a defensive-minded head coach and strongly recommend hiring Beilein as an offensive coordinator OR director of scouting.

Coming back to this today,…

Coming back to this today, where Michigan's DMR went:

McFarland - 2:52.1, Amene - 45.5, Brown - 1:47.9, Foster - 3:53.8. Good for 9:19.3, a Michigan school record, and the #5 time in the nation. 

 

Michigan has a very real…

Michigan has a very real chance of taking home an NCAA title in the DMR (imo, the best relay - 1200, 400, 800, 1600).

Foster has run his 3:54. Southfield Christian's Dubem Amene just went 45.7 in the 400m. Miles Brown (Novi) has gone 1:48. And their new freshman, Trent McFarland (Utica, twice our D1 state champ in the 800) has PR'ed in the 800 and dropped 10+ seconds off his high school best mile,

Before he left, Beilein was…

Before he left, Beilein was close to signing Franz. Howard put the finishing touches on the commitment.

Without Beilein, I'm doubtful that Juwan goes after Franz.

Had Beilein stayed, it's very likely he still commits to Michigan.

So yes, Beilein guy.

Um, uh, can you clarify what you meant by those last four words?

Brady Hoke.

For just being "ok" at OC, he seemed to perform pretty damn well. While sharing duties with Weiss, 21st in SP+. Solely the OC, 5th in SP+. Could you imagine if he were just "good"?

think of english soccer anthems - you'll never walk alone, blowing bubbles, blue moon, etc. none of these are songs you'd go out and belt with your friends on a drunken night.

mr. brightside might not be the most masculine song of all time, but it's a song that unites the fans and is 100% ours

such a weird attitude. fans can spend how money however they wish, but families take priority over players.

You can give ten people a thousand dollars and at least three will complain that they have to break the hundreds. 

Some people are never happy and find the negative in one of our own giving back to the community. 

As of right now, Torvik has…

As of right now, Torvik has Michigan projected to finish 8th in the Big Ten. The past two teams have also finished 8th in the Big Ten.

Other than 2020, I don't think Harbaugh had a team finish 8th in the Big Ten. Not exactly comparable.

With Michigan's win over…

With Michigan's win over Washington in the 1980 Rose Bowl, Michigan ended that year as the lineal champion.

How'd last year go?

How'd last year go?

What about:

What about:

- the first 10 games

- his track record with 5-stars

- and Juwan/Phil's track record

 

Make you believe that 20+ wins and the Sweet 16 are happening?

Michigan gained 36 yards on…

Michigan gained 36 yards on the previous 6 runs on that drive. I don't think it's absurd that they thought that they could gain 10 with 3 more runs.

Announcers have nicknames…

Announcers have nicknames for things all the time. Was Brent Musburger a Michigan homer for hyping up the A-Train all the time? No, it's just a name to call a player, just as the World Famous Ohio State Buckeyes is just a hyped up version of Ohio State.

The tickets are available to…

The tickets are available to the public, so not I'm not sure why this is a rule. I can see if someone broke into or filmed a private facility. But the tickets are available to anyone, you and I can both go to Columbus and attempt to discern each team's signs. 

Campbell + Johnson + Glenn…

Campbell + Johnson + Glenn have gone 11-3 in their past 14 games, coaching what is likely the best Lions team in our lifetime and you're on the fence if Campbell is the guy?

The fuck?

More of the judgment in the…

More of the judgment in the post is directed toward some of the comments on this board which lack sympathy for those who have undergone sexual harassment/assault/violence. Those attitudes prevail, even not in the context of Mel's incredulously hurtful behavior. 

The PSA is fine, warranted, and has very little posturing towards Tucker.

All he had to do was not let…

All he had to do was not let his MAGA views and shock jock attitude slip out into the public. Apparently that was too hard.

Taylor went pro after the …

Taylor went pro after the '97 season.  Ellerbe took over for Fisher in the 97-98 season, Ward/Baston/Traylor was the primary lineup down the stretch.

It's all in the game. 

It's all in the game.

From what I gather, Weiss is the situational (red zone) play caller.

Everyone sans Seth, Matt, Alex, and David has mailed it in.

Acting boss, kinda like when Silvio stepped in for Tony or Phil for Johnny.

There's plenty of people who grew up on the South Side who don't escalate when faced with a volatile situation.

Juwan was talking while walking away from Gard and then acted shocked when Gard grabbed him. If he wanted to say something, he should've shook his hand, looked him in the eye, and said his piece.  That would be the South Side thing to do.

He took his time tying his…

He took his time tying his shoe rather than getting back and trying to play D. 

Which resulted in a 5 on 4, NW open 3.

Last 6:00 of that Kentucky…

Last 6:00 of that Kentucky game is something I watch from time to time.  Still proud of that damn team, and had they won there, I felt they would've won it all.

You could think of it as a…

You could think of it as a positive or a negative.  Think positive and the results will follow.  We'll attack this well and come out better on the other side of it.

Our last week+ break, Wagner…

Our last week+ break, Wagner and Dickinson came back with some of their better performances of the year.  Given Juwan's track record, I'm confident they'll handle this setback better than 99% of college teams.

Just have to get to the tournament in one piece and we've got a real shot.

Remdog,

 

As an emergency room physician, what are the odds the SEC plays football this year?

Then you have hundreds of other colleges to play for.

Yesterday.  We've been doing online orders, home delivery, and curbside pickup this entire time.  Don't even have to come into contact with people and still getting out of the house.  It's great.

Jackson, Williams, Dickinson…

Jackson, Williams, Dickinson, Howard will all be 3+ year guys.

You have to take volume into…

You have to take volume into account.  In general, it's tougher to shoot a higher percentage at a higher volume.  And it's easier to shoot a higher percentage at a lower volume.  Which could explain why Beilein's teams always excelled at 2pt%.  

For 3PA/FGA over Beilein's tenure, here's how Michigan compared to other NCAA teams:

2019 - 142
2018 - 59
2017 - 17
2016 - 19
2015 - 39
2014 - 34
2013 - 144
2012 - 8
2011 - 13
2010 - 12
2009 - 6
2008 - 41

Not on the same scale, but I feel fans of running/T&F regard Pre and Ryan Shay on similar levels.

 

No, it means Ant's…

 

No, it means Ant's contribution to Michigan is much more than anything Ace will contribute.

Considering Manny got…

Considering Manny got autobenched early (IIRC, like the 15 min. mark), Wright's first half was absolutely huge in allowing us to stay in that game.  

He was also responsible for that picture perfect one-handed bounce pass to Sims to beat UCLA.  

That single moment is greater than any and all of Ace's contribution to Michigan athletics.

I love Dan Bonner's…

I love Dan Bonner's exhilaration at any big play.  Simpson had a pretty standard layup against FSU last year where he was yelling, that Maryland game had him on the floor, and this weekend, who knows what will happen?
