If we're dreaming: He…

If we're dreaming: He vacations in the U.P. ...I think he should go coach for my Alma Mater at MTU. Tech is off to rough start this year and could use the help.

I would like this very much. I like having big named douche bag coaches coaching...provides more entertainment for me in my favorite pass time

I don't know... Our latest…

I don't know... Our latest Presidents have been mid 70's +...so I don't think Herm's age had much to do with it. I thought ASU had been middling in the pac 12 during his tenor?

I think the BIG qb play is…

I think the BIG qb play is down overall...but most teams seem to be pretty solid in the front 7 on both sides of the ball. So it kinda balances out. I'd imagine the BIG will be  considered the second best conference after bowl season like normal.

Clemson is getting some very beneficial and questionable calls

hmmmm.... I'm only 40, but I feel more like Clint Eastwood in Grand Torino every day

point taken, but in this…

point taken, but in this instance, I'm ok with our DB's gaining experience in a relatively new system.  Most of these guys cut their teeth in Brown's system.  Let them get some experience running their zone schemes against this inferior opponent.  Take some lumps now so that we learn from it when faced with better competition.  We certainly won't be running a lot of aggressive coverages against PSU and OSU....so lets practice what we will run against them.  To me, this is the same argument I had after the first 3 games...practice passing in a blow out game so that you are prepared for your primary opponents later in the season.

Yeah, its common to script…

Yeah, its common to script the first 10 plays (minimum) in an effort to exploit weaknesses you've identified in scouting and to see how the defense responds to your personnel groupings and formations.

Not sure why you are getting…

Not sure why you are getting negged.  I can think of no likely scenario where Harbaugh would continue coaching here if Schembechler were to be cancelled.  Schembechler is one of Jim's greatest mentors.  On the other hand, a lot of people here would be happy to see Harbaugh go.

Or maybe he actually had a false positive test like the data shows?

I would argue that covid has entered the mind through the eyes and ears and has destroyed a lot of people's ability to critically think.  Maybe coach Pruitt is on to something?

Are seasonal neck beards ok? I love my neck beard in hunting/ice fishing season.

YES!! ....another southern people are dumb and irresponsible post! ffs

He looks legit.  I would be super excited if not for the age thing.  A 1 1/2 to 2 year age difference in high school is a huge advantage as a young man's body develops so much in those late teen years...think Caris Levert or the Wagner brothers.  Fingers crossed that his explosiveness translates and I'm an idiot who is just stuck in BPONE.

just take a brief scroll through the threads on this blog and its easy to see why people stay silent. If you deviate from the accepted main stream opinion even slightly you are shouted and called every name in the book. smh

like Brian says...people are just in charge of things because they are.  Also, the fierce political polarization in every aspect of our society has pretty much all leaders paralyzed for fear of making a mistake.

I have it on good authority that this method of spreading the virus, like 100% of all other methods of spreading the virus, is actually caused by ignorant anti-maskers who don't care about anybody's grandma. /s

Heart conditions are often…

Heart conditions are often discovered in preseason physicals. I wonder what the statistics are for this condition on a typical year? I wonder if we would even know or if that information would generally be kept private. Seem like important questions to ask before shaming someone...

Better than freaking out and running around like chicken little every time a click bait journalist presents random numbers with zero context.

Personally, I love getting my news from sources that use the word "clusterfuck" in the title.  Its the #1 and only criteria I use to feel confident that I am receiving accurate and trustworthy information.

The Washington Social Justice Warriors ...it sticks with the warrior theme and the colors could stay the same

I think they carry their…

I think they carry their guns for multiple reasons, including some of the reasons mentioned here by other mgobloggers.  While the shut down and second amendment are technically separate issues, many of the protesters see them as linked.  They feel as though their constitutional rights are being whittled away slowly over time and they wont stand for it.  They refuse to be the slowly boiled frog. While these protesters are labeled as gun-toting ignorant hillbillies here and elsewhere, they have a good understanding of their constitutional rights as free people.  As long as it stays nonviolent, I have no problem with them or anyone else that stands up for what they believe in.

one of these things does not belong...oh right, that's us.

Perhaps recency bias is the correct thing to do since the champion has only been decided on the field starting in the BCS era. Before that we just had writers/coaches voting. If I compiled the list, I would double the weight of championships in the modern era.

I went to college/played football with a guy who grew up in Jamaica until 13 and then moved to Marquette Michigan. For my money, its hard to beat a Jamaican-Yooper accent!  I've always been intrigued by accent mash-ups in the years since lol

fyi, if u want to argue the validity a conspiracy,

fyi, if u want to argue the validity a conspiracy, never point to a proven quack for support. I've read her book and it's hot garbage. (I'm a licensed P.E./S.E. in several states) In this case, simply point people to a video of the building 7 collapse and it's clear something shady and unreported went down that day.

Just wondering

Donnal clearly has skill, but seems to have lacked playing with a chip on his shoulder until yesterday.  I've wondered why we havent seen a body transformation with him.  He's been in the program 3 full years and doesnt seem to have improved his body like many of the other players.  3 years in, he should have put 20 lbs of muscle on his frame....that extra power and explosiveness could have really paid dividends.  I wonder if Beilein wanted him to stay with his current body type or if its a lack of effort in the weight room?

Call me crazy, but I could

Call me crazy, but I could see LSU looking for someone new.  I dont think they'll be too tolerant of 41-7 blow outs and I've never understood the hype around Les.  Thats a team with tons of talent that tends to under achieve most years.  Watching the Wisconsin game earlier this year was exhibit A: a totally superior team talent wise that should have lost to one-dimensional Wisconsin team.  My fear is that LSU will be ready for him to leave when we come calling and they thank us for the offer...

I've never been sold that Les

I've never been sold that Les is that great of a coach either.  He almost lost to Wisconsin who has no qb and the talent at lsu is ridiculuous

I'm liking the bald look.  I wouldnt wish it upon denard though.

I hope you're right.  All of

I hope you're right.  All of tosu fans here in Columbus think he's coming to tosu without a doubt.  They cant get this season over fast enough so that he can take the reigns. There are rumors flying around everywhere here about him buying a house in Columbus.  I dont believe that he'll come for the reasons you mentioned and I could see PSU as the logical destination if he truely desires coaching again.

Great to see a glennie

Great to see a glennie reference...I have a lot of family in the Glennie area.  Pizza is pretty good at the tavern as well...

Columbus area

I'm living in Columbus now...it sucks.  Anybody know of a UM friendly bar to catch the games at? The google map only shows Dave and Busters and I'm hoping that there is another venue to catch the games with some UM fans.

Confused about my situation...

I moved to Columbus with my fiance for work this winter....about the time that all the scandals came out.  You brought luck to Alabama.  So did I bring good luck to Ohio or did I bring bad luck...?  I'm inclined to think that I brought good luck to UM...but I need to be sure or I wont be able to move back to Michigan!

cool...thanks for the info

Recently relocated to Columbus....I know, it blows....but love is a bitch and this is where my fiance lives/works!  We have boycotted cable/direct tv and bottom line is I dont want to buck up for it.  I prefer watching games at UM bars will fellow fans anyways.  Does anyone know of a UM bar in the Columbus area?  Any help/info would be greatly appreciated!

*Would have posted new thread about this, but I dont have enough points.*

When I played 5th-8th grade

When I played 5th-8th grade football, our games were always on saturday afternoons.  My mom and dad came to every game.  I was a UM super fan at an early age so missing the UM games bothered me as much as it did my father (who has been a life long fan) and my mother (a UM grad).  This gave my family a special bonding opportunity and a saturday ritual during those years....  We would record each game on the vcr and when we got home from my colt league games, we would sit down and watch the UM game as a family.  We accomplished two things here: 1. My family attended all my games, something I'll never forget. 2. We built anticipation all day for the afternoon of watching UM games together as a family over a bowl of hot nachos, also something I will never forget.

Cash in on this opportunity.  Enjoy your sons soccer games and then bring him into the fold as a UM superfan and enjoy the football games together as well.

Opposing teams

have a crew of grad-assistants that break down film like this already.  After my playing days, myself and a few other GA's would be up all night sunday breaking down tendancies and packaging film for the coaches to use on Monday....and this was at the DII level.  I'm sure they have a refined system at the DI level

not enough data to get any

not enough data to get any real trends....it would need to include position breakdowns.  RR had to take a huge number of players at the skilled positions, more than the typical amount per class.  My gut tells me that RR players will be slightly smaller, but not by the huge amount this data shows.
