You sure? Overpriced product that markets itself every year as the new best thing ever without actually improving all too much while ALSO taking credit for inventing something other guys did years before?  Ryan Day sure sounds like an iPhone man to me.

Sebastian Cheeks may not be a lock for the bracket, but it is firmly on the bubble.

Word on the street is that when the students saw this happen, they turned to each other and one said, "I TOLD you there was someone else here!" 

Yes! Unfortunately, the word…

Yes! Unfortunately, the word is "Xiphoid."

I moved to NW Ohio in third grade from inner-city Denver. Thanks to my situation, I went from being pretty cool in a city to being a massive dorkwad with few friends. However, once my classmates caught wind that I was niether an Ohio State nor a Michigan fan, I began to be recruited by classmates, teachers, and even the janitor. I thought it was weird, because everyone seemed to take this SUPER seriously. Since it was the late 90s, it was about 50/50 between the two fan bases, so every lunch from late September until the game involved both fan groups trying to convince me to join their side. 

I said whoever won the game that year would earn my allegiance. It was 1997, so obviously my fandom only went one way. Didn't know it was going to be a long decent afterwards until this past year. 

Funny thing is I only watch a few minutes of that year's game, and didn't learn about "Bowl Games" until the summer of '98 when my cousin -- a HUGE Michigan fan -- found out about my reluctant fandom and decided to educate me. He even showed me some old VHS coaching tapes with Bo teaching offensive line play.

I've always thought the opposite was true too-- when I see an offensive tackle mauling people with chicken legs or a linebacker bashing people with stick arms I pencil him in for 30-50 lbs of weight gain and a couple all big-ten appearances.

0 is in a special club with Denard, Brandon Graham, and Corum who were not only great players but just had that little something extra that made them terrific leaders. Sainristil is the man.

Perfect move. While Left…

Perfect move. While Left tackle appears to be the weak spot next year, the last 15 years of being a Colts/Michigan fan have taught me that poor tackle play is an inconvenience, but poor iOL play can RUIN your damn offense. El-Hadi - Crippen/Nugent - Priebe is more than good enough to build around, and Trente Jones is just a solid lock for RT (assuming he comes back). Honestly, a Hinton/Persi battle for left tackle isn't ideal but it is far from a crisis-level problem. 

Now if we could only get an experienced receiver to help Morris/Morgan out...

I wonder if it was just a veiled reminder that the defense has been practicing against "Jalen Milroe but fast".

Reminds me of a story a guy I work with told me. He worked for a software company in the mid aughts where a lot of the people working there had side projects -- everything from legitimate side gigs to simple passion projects. So the VP over all the software engineers came up with an idea: what if we made everyone on salary sign a document saying that the company owned all software developed by their employees. If you read the details, it essentially said that all things done by the employees on or off the clock were being done in the name of the Company. The VP had a meeting and everyone grumbled but signed the document after a quick glance.

My friend-- who is VERY intelligent and VERY detailed- was on vacation and missed the meeting. The VP called him into his office to sign the document first thing when he got back. My friend carefully read through the document and just said, "OK!" Cheerfully and signed it. On his way out, he said, "Just so we're clear -- this document covers malware too, right? Like if I develop a program to steal personal information or credit cards the company would be responsible, right?" The VP apparently looked like he swallowed an apple. That afternoon, they had a second meeting with the VP, CEO, and three lawyers that had them sign a new document that undid that original document.

I think putting him at 15 is basically a guess that he'll either rocket into the top of the first or will return to school.

It super sucks that Phelia is out -- I thought this team had enough juice to make some noise in the tourney. I mean, they still could if they get the right matchup, but you know what I mean.

Can we also talk about how good a name "Laila Phelia" is? One of the best names I've ever heard.

I'm still having trouble getting discord access, so I defended Ann Arbor from Notre Dame -- anything we can do to stop this Catholic scourge* is a good thing. 

The best development? Michigan State has been sequestered in Canada, which is hillarious.

This is what always confused me about LSU for almost 20 years before Burrow. From 2000 - 2018 they ALWAYS had a good offensive line and were loaded with NFL Talent at WR, but the best QB they could get was... 1 pretty season from JaMarcus Russell and Matt Flynn. If they even had ONE blue-chip, three-year starter during that time they could have had at least two more National Championships.

"Impeding Breath Circulation" is so double-speak it almost sounds worse than choking, strangling, or suffocating.

Depends on how you define success? If you mean "Make millions of dollars and shoe-horn his son as a starting QB," then yes. Will he have enough success to make this another stepping stone job? We'll see. I have my doubts, but maybe he'll get 20 transfers in and they can be competative quickly. 

Sainristil is quickly moving…

Sainristil is quickly moving into the list of my favorite Michigan players ever. Guys like Brandon Graham, Denard Robinson, Mike Martin who were not only very talented, but were also very important to the culture of the team and played above their circumstances. 

My first thought: They have…

My first thought: They have to show they can stop Corum before I worry. I am not sure they can.

I think that might have been a been part of the run-game variety that we dumped out this game. Show Ohio State so many slight variations in the run game that the linemen and (especially?) line backers will have to spend that much more time to prepare. Only reason I could think of doing that against Nebraska of all teams.

He kinda reminds me of the "B" version of D'Vonta Smith -- which, come to think of it, is just Quez Watkins. In other words -- Ronnie Bell will be an Eagle.

I'm more interested in whether Roman Wilson returns next year. I mean, I assume he is, but I actually think he's going to be pretty highly rated by the NFL. He's a sleeper pick for this years "surprise early declaration.:

It occurs to me that if you gave Iowa Bowman and one of our second-string linemen they would almost certainly be 7-2.

Mike Morris is one handsome dude. Nice to see him get some NFL draft love in addition to some additional spotlight and some cash.

Blasphemer! Baby Ruth came out almost a decade before Snickers.

Our coach is correct. Baby Ruth is the best candy bar. O'Day is WRONG -- Whoppers are pretty good.  

Mel Tucker is the Candy Corn of coaches.

Surprised the O-line scores…

Surprised the O-line scores weren't higher, but I also think that it might just be because I go from watching Michigan's mostly competent line to the Colts suckitude each week. Compared to that, this felt like watching the Lombardi Packers.

I Maryland continues to ascend, that three game stretch at the end of next season could be BRUTAL.

Denver Biscuit Company has some really freaking good biscuits and gravy. It went really well with edibles and some pineapple cider.

Crazier to me is how deep the receiver room is right now. Like -- AJ Henning might be our #5 receiver right now, and most years he'd be an exciting #2 option.

It makes me so sad because the Lions were so damn close to having a juggernaut. That 2011-2014 team was basically some luck and better Linebacker/ Cornerback play from being this year's Bengals.

My only negative thought was "Mary J Blige might be too old for those pants." Otherwise, it was good. 

Apparently, Eminem was kneeling for symbolic reason; no one I knew even noticed.
