Best friend is ill so cancelling trip and now have 4 tickets for sale section 134, row 30 seats 5-8. Paid $700 but acknowledge that market is now below that. Please text 14157932536 with a reasonable offer ($400+).
Looking for 6 tickets on the Michigan sideline, have some I bought online in Section 134 but looking to trade up (and sell the ones I have if possible). Good luck and GO BLUE everyone!
Precisely what I was saying to friends offline. We've seen this time and again. With prep and in-game coaching there's a balance between calling what you've been good at and works for your personnel and changing to plays that have worked well against the opposition via film study and scouting. I was disappointed in the game plan that we didn't see:
Quick hitting trap game
A bit more inside/outside zone combos (though I may be wrong when UFR comes)
RPOs on things like the arc read (could we have had Anthony fake the block and catch a flat or stick route)?
More seam and same side crossers (arrow/slant) route combos in the passing game
Tempo to keep their dline subs in, just like MSU did to us..
I agree that the coaches overestimated our 1:1 match-ups, team in general was sped up by Georgia's talent and reacted with uncharacteristically poor play and finally, that Georgia has one hell of a talented team. How many LBs can blitz an A gap, abandon and recover to tackle the C? Not many.

Steve - I've lived out here nice '99 and have been to the same three rosebowls (USC, Texas, USC) the Navarre UCLA game and the inexplicable loss at Autzen. Love the "rivalry" we have with UW across the early 90's RBs and the home/home we played in the early aughts, though it goes further back than that.. Would've been so much fun! Hope the series does end up rescheduled.
COVID was supposed to be over by now! I live 5 mins from Husky Stadium (and "Alaska Airlines Field") and had an amazing weekend planned for friends and family flying in from across the country. Not to mention finally settling the good natured shit talking going on with all my UW friends and neighbors on the field. I was really excited to see Gattis vs. Lake matchup since we match up well defensively with their young athleticism and Don Brown always seems to do well against inexperienced QBs (OSU backups notwithstanding). Unfortunate that we are here now but, missing a football game is a miniscule loss given all we have lost this year in the US.
Looks like a solid tackler and a pretty decent cover guy. As others have said if he can bolster our issues on slot fades and saftey/nickel coverage or is a better backup CB than Watson, then its ++, if not, coming from Utah which is a very well-coached team, I'm sure he'll add depth and competitiion which is a net positive.
Gonna be tough w/all those Sparties and Cougs in the same zip code. Was so hoping my next door neighbors and I could have been there in person for the rematch of the century. They still claim there should've been time left for another play in '97 - just another opportunity for a Woodson pick!
Amazing analysis and use of multimedia to make salient points about this play. While I completely agree that the starting qb at Michigan should be able to make this read, I just felt that given the momentum in the game and what was working, we should've started with a shorter pass, simple roll out or one of the new formations for a run or fake read option that nearly sprung Higdon earlier- we were successful with these and it allowed JOK to get some easy throws in. With a semi cogent QB at the helm I would have no issue with the play call. Given the fact that O'Korns mental struggles under pressure were well documented, it was a really tough time in the game to decide to rely on him to make a play, even if it was simple. I do agree that to win "The Game" you have to play real football, and pretty much everyone else wearing a winged helmet did that ... Please angry Michigan QB/OL hating god, go back to your dark realm and leave us be in 2018!
There are many variables to solve to be in the "right" play in any given situation - agree that more deception is warranted, but making sure your center/QB and receivers are familiar with all the checks based on front/tendency etc. is much easier with experienced players. For example you don't want to run that reverse play into an edge blitz (see Hudson vs. Gophers) and would Peters know enough to recognize and audible out of it? Failing that, would the line/receivers be saavy make-in play adjustments required to adapt to that situation? Seems like they are reasonably incapable of that given all the issues we see with protections.Agree that there should've been more variety in the game plan/play calls to keep the badgers on their heels, however, with a young team there is only so much you can install in a given week, especially with Peters in his second start in a truly hostile environment against a real team (sorry Terps).
Great to see the pipeline of star defensive players continuing to grow and building on very solid star + diamond in the rough blend of recruiting. If only we could say the same O line. I'm in the hopeful camp, but man this week sucks!
I played FB at a small college and what we were taught in the backfield when the DE pinches on power or other play where you usually have a kick out for a DE playing edge, you try to log him when he pinches (e.g. take the outside shoulder vs. inside shoulder) and cover him up. Then the TB was supposed to bounce outside that block. If you look at this play, due to the way the corner played man on DPJ, there was space vacated on the edge/flat here. Might've been a 5 yard gain or more with evans' speed/shiftiness. since the LBs were all caught inside and IMHO, Hammering Panda could've covered the DE vs. continuing to try the kick out. There are "in play" counters depending on how the defense plays a particular play like this. I wonder how good our young O is at understanding these nuances and if they are coached to..I drew a picture, will try enbedding, later.
Have lived in Seattle since 2003. I commute to Redmond each day from NE seattle on the 520. There is a toll but it's not a terrible since my comp is a 1.5 hour commute to the South or East Bay from SF prior to that.
If you are single looking to go out to bars, restaurants etc. and are ok with a semi-suburban vibe Kirkland/Juanita is a great option if you want to stay on the east side, but you get a pretty generic albeit fun experience though it's right on the lake and there are some solid bars and restuarants. Bellevue is fine if you want to live and work in the same place but expensive and not really anything different than you find in other "high end" corporate areas (Somerset, Scottsdale, Domain in Austin, any NJ/NY suburb). Not my cup of tea.
If you want a more diverse cultural experience, live in Seattle. Living in the city allows you to get the Corporate Chic, highly curated craft beer experience Downtown, the fun/funky (though increasingly gentrifed) neighboorhood experiences of Greenwood, Ballard, Fremont with great bars, music scenes etc. and interesting cultural aspects of the south end (Vietnamese, Ethiopian, etc.) you can choose if you want to pay through the nose and live next to the Amazon/Google/Facebook/Microsoft 20-30somethings, or find a more out of the way neighboorhood in the north or south of the city. Also easier to get to West Seattle and Ferries to the islands.
Also, I really like the parks in the city (Golden Gardensw/beach on the sound, Magunson park with opportunity to go fishing/sailing on lake washington, Greenlake etc)
If you are solving for commute agree w/commenters on the east side. If you are solving for quality of life, I'd vote for Seattle. For me it's worth the commute and crowds, for others it's not.
On buying a house, two schools of thought. The bubble continues due to isolated economic trends and lack of developer-friendly zoning, so you need to buy now, or there's a better opportunity in a couple years if the economic cycle cools a bit, but it will remain expensive either way.
Good luck and remember, nothing is as bad or good as people make it out to be.
I think Gedeon, McCray and Dline can contain the Barrett/Weber combo, we need Pep to stop Curtis Samuel... you know Meyer is already scheming to RPS what we put on film here in terms of stopping inverted veer etc. I hope Brown has his own "Jordan Rules" in his back pocket with Pep playing the role of Joe D. for The Game.
I was screaming for a TO on the first drive.. I get not wanting to burn one in the first Q but it felt like we could really use one to chill out and adjust.
I was going nuts at the TV for M not setting the edge on some of these plays esp. Winovich when he was pinned inside and Lewis for not doing the cut/takeout of the FB on the TD play, thinking it was fundamentals, but it was actually State executing on a well scouted and scripted drive that RPS'd the shit out of us. As a former fullback, there is nothing more you like than being matched up with a corner on a run play. I would love to see the adjustments we made and/or stupid things State did to take them out of these matchups as the game wore on. You're right - maybe Harbaugh's effusive compliments of Dantonio are not hyperbole? Well done, Seth!
Flew down to meet a bunch of friends there and not only did like 4 people get hospitalized due to heat stroke, we had one of those blacked out drunken intra-friend fights later that night. It was a mess and the beginning of my massive frustration w/Navarre and his happy feet.
Been to Alaska (Denali close #2) been to S. Pacific (best beach-y), West Coast US, Hawaii, Greece, MX, Peru and Central Europ -ornate architecture is crazy. But to get the mountain formations and the color of turquoise in the lakes you have to go for Patagonia and the area around Torres del Paine is unrivaled in that sense, IHMHO. The isle of Skye does look redonk though..
I actually see more upside for him on offense. Really good vision and burst and great hands. I know the need is at S/LB but I'm crystal ballzing him to stick on O after playing on both sides.
That is one devastating photo. My heart goes out to the Carr family - my wife is a '99 RN specializing in Pediatric Oncology and has seen this bastard of a disease firsthand; it's one of the worst pediatric cancers there are. RIP Chad hell of a fight you put up.
Harbaugh, Elliot, Kolesar, Morris.. Winning B10 Championships and losing Rose Bowls. Bo screaming at the refs and me yelling at the TV with my Dad in our neighbor's basement at 5pm on New Years Day. Thanks for the memories.
Got the same feel from watching how things have progressed and reading the UFRs. Learning a new system and getting comfortable with a coach's rhythm in calling plays and learning what works with the players (especially QBs as different in style as Shane and DG) takes time and apparently spring ball and fall practice wasn't enough, but in those practices you focus on "your stuff" and not as much on the different fronts and coverages that opponents will throw at you week to week and the game planning chess match.
Unfortunately we didn't have much of a luxury with this year's early opponents looking better than we thought, my view having watched Rutgers in person vs. WSU was it was always going to be a tougher game than anticipated, given the environment and Utah is better than advertised, although they seem to be an enigma losing to WSU then beating UCLA. Both teams we should beat by the M standard as referenced ad naseum here on mgoblog.
The Minnesota game is the one thing I just can't figure out. That team is not good, but I'm curious to know what the "sitting Devin" issue was, as it seems like something deeper than the yips and turnover issues. In all the interviews (e.g. Norfleet and Clark) the players and coaches allude to something he did though we'll probably never know what. Even without the program drama and Devin's issues these look like risky/poor decisions by the coordinators: bet the D scheme on Peppers along with hope for a pass rush we've never really had and too much tight formation manball and waggles on O. This alone doomed us from a scheme and RPS POV, but maybe that was Coach Brandon (that will be my own baseless internal narrative), at any rate it just piles up to a Mt. Everest of suckiness and ennui.
Would really love a candid interview with Nuss to compare the atmosphere and position coaching/player development between 'Bama and UM. Maybe we'll get that after this season.
Sucks that this is the situation, hopefully they team learns and can pull an upset or two out of this trash heap of a season while the program moves on to better days under a new regime. Would be nice to beat PSU, but then again I thought we would take it to Rutgers.
D3... Was taken out of my last game as a senior when concussed after a tackle on a punt return. I couldn't remember anything for about 15 mins, plays, what I had for breakfast, my girlfriends name. I wanted back in but the team doc took my helmet and refused. This was in 1998. Also we had the Oberlin yeomen in our league..
This team 135 does not do well with it. 98's presence is worth at least 10 points. Rutgers 19-13.
In an alternate universe before Brandongate: Peppers plays offense, DeVeonGreen rushes for 100 and DG passes for 350+ with a couple nice scampers. M 27-17..
Great win for Rich, team looked tough on D, some outstanding RPS+ on O. It also shows how big a difference experience O linemen make.
Agree with Yost, there is no Wisconsin on the PAC12, save Stanford, so I will be interested to see the outcome of that matchup, the weather makes a big difference and if you look at Oregon's style in the big games they've been in vs. athletic D lines (Auburn NC Game, Rose vs. OSU) they aren't nearly as explosive.
Twas' a bit of a rhetorical question and I while I don't doubt the intent, i disagree with Oregon's execution. Uniformz cost a lot of money, probably a lot more than gloves or towels or wristbands.. I'd love to see the financials on the campaign vs. ROI on donation. Seeing as how nearly every team does some variant of this do you really believe that the donations they get will exceed the cost of the gear (Uniformz, Shoes, etc)..Phil Knight can't keep from grandstanding even when it comes to charitable causes.

Same here. Especially Codo and Podo. What a fantastic game. Finally, a road win of the most epic proportions.

Takes the most marbles - ISO and power blocking of DE and LB
Takes great hands - screens, wheel routes, outs and stab routes
Need to be an RB that runs w/out a lead blocker - trap, counter and dive
Needs to understand pass pro and blocking assignments like a center - fronts, coverages and blitz packages
