6 years after graduating, Grant Newsome is doing alright for himself.  Good for him, especially after what he endured.  I wish him all the success.

Walking into Warde’s office…

Walking into Warde’s office and saying “I want 10 years guaranteed or I’m walking” isn’t a negotiation.  It’s holding his employer hostage.

Everyone wants to blame Warde, yet it was Ben giving an ultimatum.

I encourage you to walk into your bosses office tomorrow and give him/her the same spiel.  Let me know how that goes.

 

Research that and let us…

Research that and let us know the truth.

Stop taking everything Sam…

Stop taking everything Sam says as gospel.

The Warde cult are the…

The Warde cult are the faction of haters who have no clue what his relationship is with Jim, but just want him fired.  For being the 2nd worse AD at Michigan, he's been able to keep Jim for 9 years (longer than any other place the man's worked in his life), and has a national championship under his belt.

Sorry to tell everyone, but the AD's job at Michigan entails one thing: keep a successful football program.  If that means your basketball, softball, and baseball coach decide to depart, so be it.  Football is it.

A show cause for a guy you…

A show cause for a guy you're retaining means nothing.  There's zero harm to UofM if Jim gets slapped with that stupid penalty. 

Give Jim the contract.

Take…

Give Jim the contract.

Take out any silly clauses.

Even if the NCAA wants to suspend all 2024 season, sign the man.  He's earned it. 

Whoever is digging their heels on these clauses needs to be straightened out.  And I'll be $500 it's not Warde.  He knows who butters his bread.  He has one job: keep the successful head coach happy.  Warde isn't stupid.

I feel compelled to remind…

I feel compelled to remind everyone that having a big arm does not make a quarterback.  In many instances, it leads to worse QB play because the player thinks he can throw the ball anywhere on the field.

Can he read a defense?

Can he check into the right play?

Can he remain controlled in the pocket while pressure mounts?

All of those are far more important than being able to throw the ball.

Our STARTING defense will be…

Our STARTING defense will be elite IF we have competent 1B-type players that can contribute reliable snaps.  Having 2 complete lines + a rotatable LB had a huge impact this year.  Also, being able to move Mikey to CB when needed was another major positive.

Right now, we don't have a solid 2nd unit across the front.  It needs to be developed pretty quickly.

Yes.  Chatted with them on FB Messenger.  They're very helpful.  He cropped it while also making sure my request wouldn't wash out the clarity of the picture.  Good dudes.

You can buy it direct from the guys that took the photo.  They're a Michigan company.

I actually had them zoom in just a little bit so the picture if filled with just the stadium (and not the surrounding area).  I suggest supporting them directly.

I bought that print and had it framed with Blue and Maize mat.  I can't stop staring at it.

I think anyone putting the onus on Warde is mistaken.  These clauses in the contract aren't coming from Warde.  They're coming from the school's attorneys.

I would like to get a tattoo too.  A sweet one.

It'll have a huge block M as the background. NATIONAL CHAMPIONS arched across the top, the 2024 CPF logo, the national championship trophy15-0, a depiction of the Rose Bowl facade, and a cemetery with the logos and scores on headstones from the red letter games.

Seems simple enough lol

Pat Forde and Ross Dellenger writing about it non-stop, and taking up 25 minutes of each podcast to shit on FSU.

Dan Dakich losing what's left of his crazed mind.

Oh they can do something…

Oh they can do something with that arm.  Get the defense back out on the field.

“There’s 2 sides to every…

“There’s 2 sides to every story”

Precisely.  And we never, ever heard the real story from either side.  Every year it's the same thing: Warde sucks, Jim doesn’t feel the love, and he’s headed to the NFL.  And thus far, Jim’s actions have shown that he wants to coach at Michigan.

Bacon said Jim isn’t swayed…

Bacon said Jim isn’t swayed by money, but rather “bear hugs”.

Hackett got Jim with bear hugs.

Ono, the board, and the fans have all given him bear hugs.

Warde hasn’t, allegedly.

My initial reaction was:

1) grow up Jim

2) fire Warde.

But then I was reminded that this is the same Jim Harbaugh that told San Fran GM Trent Baalke to leave a team room because “it’s for men only.”

So we’re to believe Jim is butt hurt because Warde - his former teammate and current ‘boss’ - hasn’t coaxed Jim’s feelings?

Nope. Not buying it.

Jesus man, have you ever…

Jesus man, have you ever made a mistake? Are you familiar with life at 60? Ever worked such long hours that you’re completely exhausted? 

Awful judgemental. 

People are entitled to their…

People are entitled to their opinion on whether Juwan or Warde can go, but I'm dying to know what factual info you have that Warde puts himself above Michigan athletics? 

That bery topic has been…

That very topic has been mentioned on this very website, and it’s a valid point…when talking about Devin or Denard.  JJ knows how to read pre-snap, and studies enough film that turning his back won’t affect his reads.

Then again, Saban’s defensive backfield is as well coached as anyone’s in the country.  
 

Michigan will have to utilize PAP to maximize the effectiveness of the ran AND pass.  Otherwise their defense is gonna stuff us in a locker.

I'm confident they've at…

I'm confident they've at least had a conversation about it.  It's not some taboo topic that'll throw the whole team into chaos of someone asks "what are your plans".

 

Fine in the sense that all…

Fine in the sense that all QBs previous to JJ were fine.

Fine isn't winning championships.  Ask Ohio State.  Or Penn State. Or us.

Maybe JJ's waiting for Jim…

Maybe JJ's waiting for Jim to make a decision.

The NCAA revamped our playbook?  Because of sign stealing or the hamburger?

I will never understand the continued infatuation with Rich Rodriguez.  He won 6 conference games in 3 years.  SIX!!  He wasn't sabotaged.  He just sucked.

Sparty fans are more hyped…

Sparty fans are more hyped for this kid than they were for Noah Kim when he took over for Peyton Thorne, who they were super fired up for after he stepping in for Rocky Lombardi who they thought would compete for a Heisman when he took the reigns from Brian Lewerke.

It's weird how they keep saying their next QB is gonna be the guy. 

"it sets a bad precedent".

I feel like every coach would have a worse record without the greatest QB to ever play in the NFL than with.

This is going to be the toughest test of the year....by far.

Alabama has the athletes and the coaching.  Saban knows how to prepare, but more importantly, his coaches know how to get their players dialed in.  This game will take a perfect performance from Michigan to win; No turnovers, no penalties, no dropped passes, no missed blocks, no missed tackles, and an excellent game plan that keeps Bama on their heels.

 

9 years running and people…

9 years running and people still get uneasy when Harbaugh's contract isn't hashed out in public.

Fret over Jim's decision

Much like ESPN, The…

Much like ESPN, The Athleltic is hemorrhaging money. They are losing market share and clout daily.  So in an effort to bolster their viewers/clicks (like a Black Friday sale), they resorted to tabloid level muck raking over this stupid sign stealing faux scandal.  And since nothing sells like the University of Michigan and Jim Harbaugh, the two went balls deep into the story.

Therefore, they both can kiss my ass.

18 days ago, we scored on 2 FGs and a safety in the entire second half against Maryland. (brought up only to counter the "11 days ago they needed a miracle")

I'm as big a Michigan fan as anyone, but IF I was a betting man, I'd put money on Bama too. It's not some huge sign of disrespect to Michigan that we should take personally lol

They're Alabama.  They can…

They're Alabama.  They can come in as confident as all get out.  They've been on the right side way more often than not. 

In my daughter's 4 years at Bama, her team played in 4 CFPs and won two of them lol.

Meanwhile, in my son's 8 years at Michigan, he watched 2 wins vs ND, 4 wins vs MSU, 0 wins against OSU, 1 bowl win, and 2 losses to Alabama.

Moral of the story, soak in all these wins Jim and the team have earned because you never know when the worm will turn.

Go Blue!

I'm not convinced of that.

Oregon or Washington is in - has no bearing on OSU.

FSU loses and I think OSU is in the catbird seat.

Don’t aggrandize Stallions.  This is all his fault.

I got dinged by Fox for Sherrone’s post-game emotional Penn State interview.  I have a feeling my Low Hanging Fruit days are numbered.

ehhhh, I could understand…

ehhhh, I could understand the Big Ten viewing these as completely different and separate situations.  Northwestern's hazing incident doesn't "involve" the other members of the league.  It was completely internal, therefore, let them handle it internally.

Scalions was a dumbass who conjured up an elaborate scheme that he wasn't smart enough to cover his tracks, nor realize he was putting the very team he claims to love at risk.  Sorry I'm not one of the "Scalions is a hero" brigade.  All of this is his fault.  Fuck him.

 

Disrespecting the #2 rush…

Disrespecting the #2 rush defense with 32 straight runs to hush up 100,000 of Pennsylvania’s most delusional was pretty satisfying.

 

There should be a boycott…

There should be a boycott from the school; ESPN is not allowed to set up its TV set on school property, and no press passes will be issued to any ESPN employee.

Then when they set up across the street from the stadium, they shouldn't be allowed to get a word in edgewise without a chorus of "FUCK YOU RECE"
