Can you invite all of the other “sit down”ers to your safe space for the next game? Your kind wasn’t meant to be in a stadium that fits 100k people. Try some noise cancelling headphones playing ocean sounds, baby ears.
I was rooting for Iowa and after watching 6ish quarters of Iowa I was also rooting for Czinano to foul out the second half. She seemed like an absolute liability every time she touched the ball.
Clark, on the other hand, that technical was about as soft as it gets and killed whatever chance they had. She was noticeably less aggressive.
I had to forfeit my tix today after I couldn’t shake this covid in time. Wish I could have been there in person to eat crow. The last two games have been next level play calling in every way. Getting the lead tonight was crucial and he chalked up and saved some gimmes that put us 14-3. That’s the first time I felt comfortable saying with a two score lead at half we were going to win (thanks BPONE).
There may be more teams that have a case, but I'm not sure how legitimate it would be. A 3-4 loss team arguing for the right to be champion holds far less merit, with me at least, than an undefeated team that's won its conference no matter how weak the conference is.
ESPN will give airtime to anyone who wants to argue about it. I don't care about that. I just want a system that finds the true champion and expansion increases the odds of that to me.
Kudos to you for doing this every year. I didn’t win them last year and NAMI still got my money. I’ll throw my hat in the ring again and will probably donate either way. Thanks for the annual donation reminder!
Do you work for the school’s NIL program? That’s exactly how social media works. You’re reaching out to them for a business offer not to be their buddy. I’m sure they’ll be fine with it.
I get that the school lives in the stone ages but these boosters are living in the same era. Hit up these kids on their social and find a way to get them money. Why are we waiting on the school?
Schools ignore the long-term affects and look the other way when their players are juicing. They keep their QBs out there despite showing clear signs of concussion. You really think they’re opposed to herd immunity with a virus that sees a near-zero death rate within this age group?
Why is this more reprehensible than any athlete risking life and limb any given weekend? We have known CTE has devastating long lasting effects for years now and very few are petitioning to shut down football because of it.
If we have quick testing in place with reasonable measures to protect those they come in contact with, why should it be any different?
There have been numerous big name athletes to get it and it’s been forgotten in days. Tom Hanks had it! Remember that?! Probably not until I reminded you.
Not completely directed at the OP, but it’s so strange how a global pandemic has become such an international pissing contest. “How quickly can I post this unfounded study that supports my view to this football board?”
My point shifted more to the macro than the OP but, still, this doesn't upset me as much as it seems to upset you. If any of these kids consistently volunteer at a hospital then there's an issue. If you're at risk and choose to join this crowd then that's on you.
Let it work its way through the healthy. Protect the at risk.
Lol what?! Who prefers walking around town barefoot?
The problem isn’t the masks. When I go out most people are wearing them. The problem is the inevitable lockdowns that will return when everyone is focused on rising case numbers instead of declining hospitalizations and deaths.
If we go back to lockdowns, liberties are going to be taken away anyway. Why wouldn’t we focus it to those that are high risk? I’ll wear a mask and my life doesn’t require me to visit hospitals or nursing homes. If you’re high risk and come in contact with me then that’s on you.
At this point why are we going through all these lengths to isolate the people it doesn’t affect? Send everyone under 65 to college, put 65+ in a bubble, we’ll be done with this in 3 weeks.
I was thinking the same thing. I would be very appreciative if in loco parentis was making sure my college kid wasn’t putting something on social media that would come back to bite them.
I didn’t read the entire article in the earlier post but a lot of the players‘ issues struck me more as hurt feelings more than a systemic issue.
Rutgers gave up 11 more yards than DB did today with significantly less talent. He has multiple NFL draftees a year. That should be enough to hold them under 50 points.
In an effort to brighten up a sad thread, anyone else laugh when gus johnson asked joel klatt “very quickly for the audience, can you explain what analytics is?”
Ben Mason really the difference here? Is the problem with the offense a lack of runs up the middle? Bench is fun but no chance he’s doing anything that ZC and Turner aren’t doing.
Zero chance we win this game without ZC. Loving what he brings. But at 3 YPC there’s no reason he should get 30+ touches with this receiving corp. I mean there is a reason, the qb, but in general there should be no reason.
How about the time when they put in a FB for the first time all year as a split back. A linebacking Helen Keller would’ve met ZC in right side of the backfield on that play.
These guys have 90 pressers a week. Can any of the reporters present just ask why isn’t Shea pulling some of these? I saw no less than 6-7 instances where it would’ve gotten an extra 7+ yards. Thats conservatively an extra 50 yards of offense. Not to mention what else ZC could get when there’s a real threat of a pull.
Am I the only one that prefers these guys to peak while at Michigan? I’m going to be a little upset if this guy ends up a hall of famer considering what he didn’t do when he was doing it for the team I care about.
Funny your comment comes up too. I am in the process of making a coffee table (I've made a few other things - entertainment center, desk) and I keep thinking how cool it would be to make a career out of it. I've just never had the time or effort to look into much.
Big win boys! Took my son to the game and the Buckeye faithful did not disappoint. The loudest boo of the game came when they put a 3 yr old girl wearing a Michigan cheerleader outfit on the big board. Class all the way
This guys a genius. Tonight I saw bama fake a weak side tunnel screen only to rpo Tua who dumped it to a rb for 9 yards. It was basically a broken play that was an easier first down then ive seen michigan get all year. Why do we make it so hard? If we dont have 11 guys getting the best case scenario on each play the play goes for a loss.
It’s scary how close i came to murder on that late 3rd qtr drive. We might have the best receiving corp in the country and nobody would know. The outside WRs are complete studs. I cant recall one significant dropped pass all year. I can yell out at least 6-7 from the 2 TEs in my sleep
I’m trying to think of a more overrated player in UM history than Gary based on actual production. Sorry to pick on the guy that wasnt even there. Just free thinking here. Waiting for a non-“double teamed” explanation because ive re-watched most games looking for the constant dts and havent seen them
It’s crazy how dumb this is and still so right. I feel like its basic science. Why are we forcing things to slow, weak TEs that cant jump and drop everything instead of fast WRs that seem to come down with everything they should grab?
Fair point, but I dont think Michigan would be taking a stand against individuals behaving badly. That is bound to happen. It would be taking a stand against the institutions that cover the individual up. In that case, we don’t have to worry about it coming back to bite us since none of us thinks this kind of institutional behavior would happen here. And if anyone doesn’t think that then they shouldn’t be casting stones at OSU or MSU
Can teams just refuse to play these scumbags? Seems like we’re looking for somebody else to take a stand while still feeding the beast with what is enabling the behavior. Don’t play the games and they have nothing.
Allow me to submit my entry. My brother and I have taken our boys to one game a year the last two years and I was just looking for WMU tickets since that’s the only game we would all be available. I would also love to donate regardless.
I thought the same. Only 4 episodes in but I found it strange how little drev was featured. Pep came off great which made me question my entire existence after witnessing that garbage passing game last year. Also, I almost blew it when it took multiple turnovers beforre it crossed anybody’s mind to ask okorn if he could hold the ball in a monsoon.
I went through a checkpoint once. There were very large, flashing traffic signs at least 2 miles before it warning what's coming. There were also about 15 possible turns to make before I saw any cops. If you get busted at a checkpoint you should get 15 years for stupidity.
I'm post-Eisenhower so I though the rawk music was fine but the DJ had a quick trigger finger. It seemed like they cut off a few songs for other songs. Just weird.
The hype video was also strange, I thought. I'm ok with throwing in the other M athletics but there was no appropriate climax leading to the banner. I almost missed them running out of the tunnel.
The crowd was great for a noon game. I was asked to sit down on a big 3rd down play which sent me into a minor rage but that's all part of the experience at this point.

I’d be happy to pool all the funding. Yours first

The kids aren’t the ones paying for the brand, they’re the ones getting paid because of the brand. I imagine they will start caring.
I specifically remember that season and his clock management made Harbaugh’s look genius. I think it directly cost them a couple of games.

I’d prefer that than handing everyone another $3k

I didn’t realize the death rate was that much higher for COVID. And it’s just getting started. Scary stuff. Thanks for sharing
Based on the reaction here when he entered the portal I’d think we’d rather get the plague than have him back.

Yep, definitely the offenses fault
Can anyone name 10 better coaches (complete resume) than JH? I can’t.
Yeah, I hope our coaches never go after 5* transfers again. Leave that trash for OSU.

As opposed to staying in the pocket where he looks at 1 receiver the whole time anyway?
Doesn’t it?
I’d like to be entered. Great cause. I’d love to take my boys to the game. One’s bday is the 22nd.
I was born in Michigan but had the misfortune of being raised mostly in Columbus and I can tell you this is precisely why I am still a Michigan fan.
