If you care to enjoy a bit…

If you care to enjoy a bit of scheinfreund I suggest listening to Kirk's pre-Bowl podcast where he scoops how everyone will be playing for OSU v Missouri, and they look amazing and Missouri would be wise to essentially concede and skip the game

Minter ran our D to prepare for OSU all season, even when other options would have been more dominant vs certain teams.  Will Wink still think this way?  Alot harder when the games change from Bowling Green and UNLV to Texas and Oregon...

 

Chip Kelly likes to go fast - prevent subbing, challenge defensive play calls

Does Wink have a plan for this?  We've gotten better but we used to really struggle with being prepared on D.

This is probably more about Ben Herbert...

However NIL is a problem.

Warde is committed to the concept of paying athletes and employees below what the market dictates. .  He opposes allowing M supporters to pay the athletes what they would command at other schools - (because he worries those payments will replace other athletic contributions)

I assume this is a "next man up" view of workers.  One that does not recognise the unique contribution of star performers.  

I believe we are watching adverse selection happen in real time across our entire athletic department - where our best athletes, coaches and staff members are pulled away by competitors who recognise their true value contribution to the organization - meanwhile the unproven and less productive remain behind.

Fortunately Warde was handed an athletic department in phenomenal condition with excellent physical plant, facilities, financial resources and coaches.  It will likely take several more years for him to fully drag us into mediocrity.

$13M was last year's money.  I assume this year was more because they kept several high level picks and they won the bid for several top transfers.  It seems They offered Will J and Donovan $500k each, so theyre still spending $$$

Tennessee and Texas A&M both…

Tennessee and Texas A&M both have strong aggressive defensive lines. 

They were both successful containing Milroe.

Curious how similar they are to our approach.

New years eve in Pasadena is a giant party on the streets

Who ever imagined that by attending an opponent’s game and snapping pictures from the stands I could provide my team a 3(???) Touchdown advantage and completely swing the balance of a game!

Why has no one mentioned this before?!

Dear Tony and Gil,

I’m a Michigan alum living in Ohio and I have an opportunity to attend the Ohio St v Minnesota football game.

I want to be sure it is ok if I take pictures during my visit and that I can share my game observations on my Michigan fan board.

I would like to gather conference approval prior to my attendance as I understand that my insights could provide my alma mater with  an insurmountable advantage in The Game (M/tOSU) 

Thank you for your prompt attention

If the opponents goal line was at the Michigan 40 yard line Michigan would still be 7-0

By the way - Secondary market ticket are selling for 2x this much ($600+) 

Last year tickets in the secondary market were ~$225

 

Sorry, there is zero…

Sorry, there is zero evidence that EJ Liddell would be called for a foul if he were to openly punch a Michigan player in the face.  To the contrary, if said player were Moussa Diabate holding the ball in the paint I am confident that EJ could hit him with a chair and hear no whistle.

I appreciate your sponsors supporting the program but Underground Printing has to update their AD.  I run back to my computer just to fast forward through it every time it comes on.  I even shop frequently at UP but (sacrilege) the Bo clip is too much to hear so often.

Thank you

Somewhere we should Applaud …

Somewhere we should Applaud #94 330lb Demarcus Elliott for Indiana

 

After Shea threw the late interception he had an opportunity to aggressively "block" Patterson on the return and just shadowed him.  Last year this might have seen Shea buried.

Two point conversion,…

Two point conversion, Michigan lined up for the extra point with 7? players wide left including the entire offensive line (less the Center).  You have seen us do this many times but we usually shift back to the normal kick formation.

Apparently Indiana did not get properly balanced so the center snapped the ball to McAffrey who easily sprinted to the corner for two

For the record, our record…

For the record, our record is now (3-5-2) and (0-3-1) in conference.  This doesn't include the exhibition win vs Windsor

I'd like to see Beilein…

I'd like to see Beilein huddle with the referees prior to the next MSU game and suggest that he is going to ride them mercilessly for their incompetence throughout the game on each possession.

He can make it clear that he will be going out of character for this game because - based upon his prior MSU game experiences -  they obviously appreciate and respond to such criticism 

I believe:

 

All FCS wins…

I believe:

 

All FCS wins should be removed from every team

 

Points should be granted to an opponent for:

 

  • FBS Wins 
  •  
  • Bonus points for each FBS victory the opponent has 
  •  
  • Additional Bonus Points for beating a Power 5 or independant team (ND, Army, BYU etc)
  •  
  • Additional Points for a road win
  •  
  • And Additional Bonus points for expected win results vs each opponent based upon game stats (so a dominant win is recognized)  - Second-Order Wins: Defined here and discussed in further detail here and here, second-order wins compare the advanced statistical components of a given game, and the single-game win expectancy they create, to the actual results of the game. 

 

Can you remove all FCS…

Can you remove all FCS results from every team?  So beating FBS Arkansas St is not beating a 5-5 team, it is beating a 1-5 team (reflecting only their FBS games)

His effort and development…

His effort and development has been a huge boost to this team.  

The fans, the coaches and his teammates all have to appreciate his hard work and contribution.

I was in Kalamazoo for the WMU Syracuse game and Syracuse gashed this D.  

 

I will say that Western looked physically smaller and less athletic than Syracuse but their QB hit several long passes with some perfect long ball throws - to WRs who go to the ball...

To be fair, He has already forgot that he lied about lying and he is not sure if he recalls any untruths that may have occurred.

The NCAA wouldn't let Beilein see Austin Hatch after

They probably have dirt on him contacting the hospital  about Ausin during a no contact period

 

Waiting until March Madness to bring down the hammer on us

I agree with this, How would this "Tip Chart" look for previous

M/MSU games?

 

Brian - would you care to humor my curiosity by adding the PFF

The PFF passing Grade for our O-Line for each game.

My theory is that his numbers were much better when our O-line was not nearly getting him killed

What would fix this quickly is a handful of high school coaches

or players refusing to prioritize visits to schools who supported the ban.
