I logged on to neg OP just because he asked for it.

They certainly did not look mid against the Eagles a few weeks back.

Just like his boss, the…

Just like his boss, the siren call of the NFL is too strong to resist.

It's been clear to me, even at the time, that the coaches were looking at the line of succession after the season was over. My guess is that Jim knew that Jesse wanted to get back to the NFL eventually, just like him.

Best of luck Jesse!

Slam dunk at this point, now…

Slam dunk at this point, now let's get the program ready for spring ball!

You'd think they would have…

You'd think they would have some good OL/DL recruits in their last couple recruiting classes that maybe haven't been given the chance to start. 

Impressive. Let's see how…

Impressive. Let's see how that translates on the field.

We're at the top, lets just…

We're at the top, lets just enjoy it now.

We may or may not beat them at the end of 2024, but there are a lot of games to be played before that point. 

I don't really care at this…

I don't really care at this point. The man came back home and won us the first NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP since 1997 and the first undisputed one since 1948. 

Ohio State flunkies are sharpening their knives for November 30, 2024 pointing to their portal transfers and 5 star recruits, but whatever happens, on that day it will have been 1827 days since Ohio State beat Michigan. 

Also, did I forget to say that we will still have WON A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP? I'm still going to be riding that high at least until Ohio State wins their next championship, but even then, I may not even care because the rivalry will have changed due to the new divisionless B1G, 12-team playoff, etc.

In that vein, remember, Ohio State would have been the #1 seed had they beat us and I still think they were the best team we'd played the entire season. And it was us, not them who bought the NC home. That will always rankle them and you can expect to hear "YOU GUYS CHEATED" for a long time but that's because they were that close to winning the whole thing.

Pay him and keep him in Ann…

Pay him and keep him in Ann Arbor for as long as he wants to be there.

Kill it in the pros, you…

Kill it in the pros, you love to see it after such a dominating year.

I mean, the same year as the…

I mean, the same year as the 1997 NC season, the Red Wings got to keep the Stanley Cup at the Joe. 

But let's be real, the Lions have a long way to go. The road goes through San Francisco and Baltimore 

It's NATURAL CHAMPIONSHIP,…

It's NATURAL CHAMPIONSHIP, come on now.

I am wherever the opposite…

I am wherever the opposite of the place the Buckeye fans are right now.

Its kind of hard to care…

Its kind of hard to care about all this right now, for some odd reason

Donovan was the reason we…

Donovan was the reason we won the first half. Negated Washington's small advantage in winning the coin toss and deferring. Forced Washington to play from behind the pretty much whole game from the first TD, and even more so from the second TD.

Remember that Michigan's offense was pretty bad in the middle segments, so having the lead gifted us from Donovan was huge.

Blake did a great job especially at the end in sealing the game, he is as automatic as a rushing TD  inside the red zone gets, but we aren't guaranteed to get to that point without Donovan. JJ was not playing as well as he should have and Blake was grinding out tough yards.

For defense, tossup between Will and Mikey, but the DL should collectively get it, they were consistently so good all game.

These are some pretty decent…

These are some pretty decent big name teams coming to Ann Arbor in 2024. Of course, Ohio State is in the toilet bowl, but other than that, Texas, USC and Oregon will be some fun new faces.

OK, thanks guys, just tossed…

OK, thanks guys, just tossed 200 bucks at gear. I did need some new performance/workout shirts for the gym and some new hoodies, so why the hell not.

Great points, I'm with you…

Great points, I'm with you on this

If people are having to find…

If people are having to find less than legal streams to watch the game, does that count towards recorded viewership? Almost sort of a rhetorical question but I don't know how they get these numbers.

OL/DL standouts- Keegan,…

I am pretty sure at least one of the OL/DL standouts, maybe Kenneth Grant or Trevor Keegan, I dunno, is going to make a long successful career. The 1997 OL had a couple all-timers, for example.

Will Johnson will do well too. He's got the size, speed and moxie.

I get your sentiment,…

I get your sentiment, although JJ's projections as you noted is a far cry from Brady going in the 6th round.

Although I could certainly see him falling beyond the second round. Maybe just my wishful thinking that he comes back for another year.

Nice choice to match up the…

Nice choice to match up the 26 year duration. Tip of the hat, great writing.

Ohio State. Without a doubt…

Ohio State. Without a doubt. That team was loaded and not as flawed as Alabama. 

2020 was a tough time for…

2020 was a tough time for all of us.

I don't give a shit about…

I don't give a shit about the B1G any more, in my mind, after all that happened this last season, the other B1G teams and their fans can eat a dick.

HOWEVER, that said, I live in Oregon and I don't think I can hate Oregon and Washington fans. I think football means a lot to people here- just not in an existential way like in the SEC. Even Oregon vs Washington, while there is a lot of trash-talking and rivalry-type moments, I've never seen it devolve like it can in other parts of the country. I'm sure it can, but football is not the only thing people care about here.

Even last night, I just couldn't hate the UW team, they fought hard and left it all on the field. I think they deserve respect for the great season they had.

I'm going to save this recap on my phone and just read it whenever I want

Wow at the end when he says…

Wow at the end when he says Michigan would have beat Georgia.. I near lost my mind just like Booger and Jeff

 

Dude's a clown tho who is fishing for eyeballs, still let's not forget that

There were a few points in…

There were a few points in the game (like the interception to open the second half) where I kinda thought Penix was just chucking it up and letting his receivers go get it. Maybe that's what he's been doing all season and has been riding an unnecessarily good streak of luck?

I kinda don't like this idea…

Nice writeup, appreciate my fellow humans regardless of who they root for. 

As a side note, I kinda don't like this idea of "lesser talent" and "roster talent"- this is college football, not the NFL, a group of NFL-size players isn't necessarily one with "greater talent" for college football, and certainly not necessarily a better team. I feel like we need to make better distinctions than what the recruiting star system gives us.

Fuck the Big Ten. Seriously…

Fuck the Big Ten. Seriously fuck the Big Ten. I will never root for another Big Ten team again after all the bullshit that went down. 

Good jesus my heart can't…

Good jesus my heart can't handle any more. I'm just so glad this season is over and am just going to enjoy the next 8 months as a fan of the NATIONAL CHAMPIONS

Incredible. I was 12 in 1997…

Incredible. I was 12 in 1997. This brings things back and I can only shiver with glee in seeing these boys stop the best offense with the best defense. Wow. Incredible roller coaster of a season, but here we are, 15-0!!!

Offense needs to step up. Run the ball down their throats. If they stack it, play action. 
 

Washington must be showing them things that make them want to throw. Only explanation

A win alone would make for a great year for 2024. Bring it home to A2 boys!

I mean, I root against these…

I mean, I root against these guys during their bowl games. Why should they be rooting for Michigan?

Lots of respect for…

Lots of respect for Washington, but I recall that some folks were rooting to match up against Florida State or Washington during the last week or two of the season- avoiding Georgia/Alabama/Texas.

It certainly will be a difficult out regardless of who Michigan matches up against but we did feel like we wanted Michigan to play these guys in the first round instead of Georgia.. in some ways it feels like Alabama was the tougher out.

Man that was a hell of a…

Man that was a hell of a game, got my heart rate up! Can't keep up with this team!

Dominant performance all…

Dominant performance all season long. What a defense, might be the best I've seen since 1997.

They'll be fine as long they have Ryan Day.
