If Warde wanted to actually…

If Warde wanted to actually be a leader in something, he should be out there promoting the idea of paying the players directly so that they can open up collective bargaining.  It’s the only way to get some type of control over this Wild West bullshit going on right now.

But he won’t because he’s stuck in the 1980s.

With conference expansion, I…

With conference expansion, I guess this makes sense. Almost all of the Blue Bloods are now in either the Big Ten or SEC. And let’s face it - those teams draw better than others and bring in the money. How can they make more? Guaranteeing the most teams in the CFP. But what comes next? If I’m the AD at a “lesser” school in those conferences, I’d be nervous. I can see a situation - much like FSU in the ACC where they want a higher percentage of the overall revenue because they bring in more than say, Wale Forest. Eventually the top teams in the SEC will wonder why Vandy gets the same share as Bama or Georgia? And Michigan, OSU, PSU may start to think the same way about the Indianas and Northwesterns. Why are they hauling in an equal share?  Are we that far away from an eventual 20 to 24 team super league forming - at least for football?  We’ll soon be at two 20 team super conferences. Why would the weeding out process stop there?

I have had concerns about…

I have had concerns about Narauto from the get go - I think Warde should have picked Muckalt as our interim coach.  I know people said he may have been passed over as he was too close to Mel, but if you think he should be implicated in what happened under Mel, why retain him at all?

Hell of an effort by Duke!

Hell of an effort by Duke!

I thought it was against the rules to contact players on another team unless they were already in the portal?  Surely the NCAA will get to the bottom of this!

Why you want the ball first…

Why you want the ball first in the NFL OT:  if you score a TD and then the other team scores a TD (or you each kick a FG or you each don’t score) it then becomes sudden death with you getting the ball again and your opponent wouldn’t be guaranteed to get the ball again. If SF scored a TD and then KC scored a TD, SF gets the ball again and a FG wins it.  In college, each team is guaranteed the same number of possessions which is why going defense first is an advantage because it lets the offense know what they need.

I think this is true for…

I think this is true for most sports.  For instance, the Final Four is better than the national championship game (partly because they’re played on a Saturday rather than a Monday night and also because there are 2 games) and college football - the Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl back-to-back on Jan 1 is better than a Monday night national championship (played at an NFL Stadium - and I know the Sugar Bowl is at an NFL stadium, too).  I’m looking forward to New Year’s Day having 3 quarterfinal games this upcoming year.

Someone please tell me we…

Someone please tell me we have some stud recruits coming in next year?  Besides our top line plus Hughes and Dylan Duke, this team’s talent level is not great.  Most great teams have that senior-laden line that can play defense against top units and chip in goals in key spots.  Think the Moyle line last year.  We have nothing close to that.  And if those top 5 guys move on, it’s not far fetched to think next year’s team could be as bad as our hoops squad is this year.

Ethan Edwards, who was a…

Ethan Edwards, who was a stalwart the last two seasons has been very turnover prone this year.  That jump out to me.  Also, the Draper, Moldenhauer, Schifsky line was badly outplayed this weekend.  They never seemed to be a threat and were on the ice for too many goals against.

At this point, I sorta wish…

At this point, I sorta wish we gave Minter the head coaching position.  Defense was the bell cow of the 2023 team and has the most impactful returners for 2024.  Now we are losing everyone from the defensive staff and who knows if players get poached.  It could be ugly this season, especially with our murderous schedule.  I was all in on Moore if it meant continuity.  This is not continuity.

If true, Warde should be…

If true, Warde should be terminated immediately, if not sooner.

Herbert wanted a long-term…

Herbert wanted a long-term deal.  Warde wouldn’t give it to him.  Warde needs to be shown the door immediately before he does any more damage to the athletic department.

Some of these things may have happened regardless of any actions by Warde, but much like a President gets credit or blame for things on their watch that may be outside of their actual control, these things have all occurred under Warde:

1) Lost the best basketball coach the school has ever had.

2) Lost our College World Series baseball coach.

3) Bypassed our best recruiter on the hockey staff, Bill Muckalt, and gave the job to Naurato (jury still out on this one).

4) Refuses to do the “pay-for-play” NIL game that everyone else seems to be playing.

5) Our national championship football coach leaves.

Again, maybe these things happen with a different AD and maybe they don’t.  But the future of the department is not looking very bright with Warde in charge.

Harbaugh just turned 51 when we hired him, not 53.

This is gold!

This is gold!

Nothing against Jim, I hope…

Nothing against Jim, I hope he does well but the Chargers aren’t my team so I’m not going to root for them suddenly just because he’s the coach. And never say never about winning a Super Bowl, but once they left San Diego, the Chargers organization struck me as similar to the Clippers whereas the Rams are the Lakers.  I have a hard time seeing them ever winning it all.

Please tell me we have a…

Please tell me we have a good goalie coming in next year. This year has been brutal in net.

I’m not very computer savvy but is there a way to save the YouTube videos to my computer or external hard drive so that I can have them saved forever in case YouTube ever deletes them, like they did with parkinggod’s highlight videos?

D-line of Graham, KG, Moore…

D-line of Graham, KG, Moore and Stewart is a good base for the defense. Benny as well. Need some of the young guys to step up for depth.

Cam Sutton has been … not good. Pretty much all year.

I am in the same boat. Had tickets, saw the weather and unloaded them. Only difference is I’ve got reruns of The Office on.

Don’t worry; they will. Spartans will.

Jesse Minter is an MVP. What…

Jesse Minter is an MVP. What he was able to dial up against that offense is nothing short of amazing. He is an elite, NFL caliber coach.

One more stop Defense.  One…

One more stop Defense.  One more stop!!!

I’m not getting fooled into…

I’m not getting fooled into thinking the offense will actually do anything so just run it 3 times to burn clock and pray the defense comes through.

Why did I think our offense…

Why did I think our offense would actually do something.  Just getting a first down seems like a chore right now.

It’s time for the offense to…

It’s time for the offense to go win the fucking game!

Sherrone is brilliant.  Let…

Sherrone is brilliant.  Let’s throw 2 WR screens in a row.  That sounds great!  Fucking terrible.

Minter should go to Sherrone…

Minter should go to Sherrone and be like, “My unit is holding up our end.  Get your ass in gear!”

CALL A FUCKING RUN FOR JJ!!!!  JFC!

Time for the offense to get…

Time for the offense to get its collective head out of its collective rear and go down and score 6.  And then hopefully 7.

It looks like we’ll need the defense to win the game as the offense has left the building.

We are 0-4 on 3rd down.  0-1…

We are 0-4 on 3rd down.  0-1 on 4th.  Play calling on critical downs has been … not good.

Day 3.

Day 3.

JJ needs to be better.  He’s been horrible tonight.  Need to use him as a run threat.

Dominated the half and the…

Dominated the half and the lead should be more as the offense has started looking like shit.  That 4th down play call was as bad as the 3rd down call prior to the field goal.  If we go in up only 17-10, that’s trouble.

Terrible fucking series.

Terrible fucking series.

Huge miss by them.  Now let…

Huge miss by them.  Now let’s take advantage!

Washington’s offense is too…

Washington’s offense is too good to think any lead is safe.  Keep it going!

A wonderful play design…

A wonderful play design there by Michigan. It’s hard to believe that it didn’t work based on how these end of close game situations have generally gone for us.

Juwan helped revive this…

Juwan helped revive this program as a member of the Fab 5, but he has absolutely destroyed what Beilein built as a coach.

Fowler is a horrible play-by…

Fowler is a horrible play-by-play announcer and Herbstreit is an okay but not great analyst. Those were my observations.

Will we ever win a playoff…

Will we ever win a playoff game? I know Georgia outclassed us that first year. We clearly shit the bed last year. But this year? This Tide team is nothing special and our offense and special teams have been complete garbage, wasting a tremendous defensive effort.

Can we all agree Chris…

Can we all agree Chris Fowler is a terrible play-by-play guy? Makes constant mistakes.

We’re fucked.  Been badly…

We’re fucked.  Been badly outplayed this half.

I’d like for our offense to…

I’d like for our offense to stop playing like ass. Defense playing their tails off and offense keeps doing nothing.

Moment has been too big for Morgan.  Three wideouts need to be Roman, CJ and Morris.

If not for special teams, we…

If not for special teams, we’d be in firm control of this game.

In the NFL certain jersey…

In the NFL certain jersey numbers are ineligible receivers. If they don’t report as eligible then they cannot be at the end of the line, which is an eligible position. So Buck is saying if Decker didn’t report and was on the end of the line, that in and of itself is a penalty. But watching SportsCenter it appears Decker did report - or try to and the ref ignored him. Either way, Lions got hosed.

Refs in Dallas screwing the Lions?  I’ve seen that before.
