Like many here, my UM…

Like many here, my UM obsession came through my dad, who never went to UofM or even college.

Dad immigrated to Detroit in the late 50's, worked in the meat packing industry in the Eastern Market.  Back in those days (mid-60's, early 70's), there was one meat packing outfit that would load up a busload of folks and cruise up to A2 early Saturday morning's for gameday. Getting an occasional invite, this was dad's first real exposure and immersion into American football.

My first memory of UofM football is boarding one of those busses in Eastern Market in the early 70's (guessing about '74), getting handed a corned beef sandwich box-lunch, riding to the Big House (remember sitting in the SW endzone).  Dad had his transistor radio and earphone in, listening to Ufer on the broadcast. I was just a youngster at 7 or 8, but vividly remember the bizarre scene of all these strangers singing the fight-song in unison, toilet paper streamers in the student section. I was an amazing & strange feeling, and I was hooked.

Wanted to take dad to the Rose Bowl this past January, as a gesture of gratitude and repayment of the UM fandom gift he bestowed; it was always on his bucket list but he never went to a past UM appearance.  I bought two tickets after the B1G championship and told him to pack his bags, but at 87 years, he decided he couldn't do it based on physical condition.  My only regret is that he wasn't there with me to experience the euphoria of beating 'Bama in OT, hugging and high-fiving all those similarly devoted strangers, singing the Victors in the final moment madness.  Was hoping for one more time with dad.

On my work computer my browser opens to MSN scrolling news stories.  The second frame across says “Mason Graham Transfer Portal Rumors” and I nearly shit.

As always, I came to the best source of UM news, this site, and confirmed no one but Atteberry is in portal.

Back to MSN, and the linked story, to find out that it’s some unknown FanSided site, with some fever dream story that IF MG was to transfer, where would he go? Nothing substantiating A Rumor, just some jerk-wad ruminating about where MG might end up if he decided to go.  Naturally the last sentence concedes “Graham will probably end up staying at Michigan…”

I guess this is the crap that will continue to be foisted for the next several weeks & months, so, stay strong my brothers (& sisters).

ABC/(ESPN) on DirectTV not carrying the game…screen says their contract with Tegna has expired. Who the F is Tegna? Anyone else getting this bullshit message? I pay too much monthly to have to put up with this shit.  
Means I’ll likely miss tomorrow watching unless there’s a miracle resolution to this stupid contract squabble, or break out the ol’ rabbit ears.

Yes, but…the Minnesota game was when DeJean got jobbed by the refs on that punt return, arm waving bad call.  In reality, Iowa should be 11-1.

True their ‘O’ is no juggernaut, however I don’t want our boys to come out flat thinking it will be a walk-over.  Need to be focused hitting on all cylinders please.

So, to clarify, UM is following the B1G suspension of GAME suspensions, not outright can’t coach during week prep?  I think that is the case, but the title saying Michigan Suspends Harbaugh could imply something else.

So, was thinking during yesterday’s game that Manny Diaz might actually be a good hire for MSU.  Solid defensive coach, prev HC experience.  Don’t know much of him and whether there is any dirt on him, but seems like a pretty good dude.

Would be rough for PSU if he split and Frames had to rebuild both sides of the ball.

Exactly this.  Great angles, picture quality, clean crisp graphics, and sensible broadcasting.

Frankly, FOX’s broadcasts seem amateurish by comparison.  I tire of Gus Johnson’s over the top delivery.  Give UM more CBS airtime IMHO.

Coincidentally, in anticipation of the pending season, I rewatched the ‘21 game this past weekend.  It was much more of an ass-kicking than I had remembered.  We fired all cylinders that day. So. Damn. Good.

I’ve been saying Max Duggan for Heisman for a while now (all due respect to BC2).  Tomorrow’s game will likely be the determining factor. Without him, TCU is not where they are this year.

How many years eligibility does he still have?  Two?  Especially if he medical’s this year?

Turning point in my opinion…

Turning point in my opinion was when OSU got the double penalty for the hold + the head butt personal foul.  Moved them all the way from around UM 25 (after the pass/catch/run) to their own 25.  The game at that stage was still in reach for OSU; I think it was still 31-20 with 10-ish mins left.
They recovered most of line to gain on the next few plays but Day punted it inside the 50 on like a 4th & 6.  That was the turning point of the game, they never had any mojo after that sequence.  Thank you #88.

Would love to hear his take on this game.

Adding Pat McAfee is an awful choice to replace Corso.  He’s all WWE in a venue and show that doesn’t need it.  Annoying.
I find myself flipping to BigNoon just to escape that d-bag.
