I'd go after Chris Beard. Dude can flat out coach and wins everywhere he's been. He'd be a tough pull since Ole Miss just signed him to a new contract only a year into his tenure.

The fans don't have the patience for Hoiberg. He was 40-83 in the previous 4 seasons. I don't think he would leave Nebraska. They have a great fan base that has realistic expectations about the program. He'd be a great fit though, but he'd need to bring a "defensive coordinator" with him because his teams don't play it.

Rocket launches are one of those things that TV gives zero justice to. We saw a launch maybe 10 or 15 years ago in Titusville. Insane the brightness and how loud and how much you could feel the launch, even from 15ish miles away.

Ant Wright's top 3 has Beilein at #1, with the caveat that it would be a two year run to get his son, Patrick, up to speed to eventually take over the program.

Ant cites Oats' $12M buyout as a major hurdle. If only Warde could find himself $6M/year in savings.

Hoping Michigan will still be looked favorably upon by the Sabb family. I was hoping they'd be able to reel in his two younger brothers. They both already holds offers from UM, Georgia, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Oregon, etc... as '26 and '27 prospects.

I thought the same thing. Why is this a crime? You can go off to war, but you can't risk your own money betting on games. Literally a victimless crime.

10-2 and you likely make the playoff with that schedule. I'd be pretty fricken happy with that result. That would mean next year's oline is dominant in the run game and/or one of the QB options is working out nicely. Which, yes please.

Tuscaloosa has a beautiful campus. I used to have family that lived south of Birmingham. I would move there in a heartbeat. High level athletics and a really nice community.

Yep, they made the change a few days ago. 5 conference champs + 7 at-large.

edit: It looks like the change was in place, but the recent news was the Pac2 requesting a delay in the change. It is still expected to be 5+7 for next season.

Anytime from today until…

This is the early signing period, open from Wednesday to Friday. Regular signing period is Feb 7 to April 1st.

The only time I hate living here is around July/August. After 17 years being here, I've just gotten sick of the heat/humidity of summer. Similar to what most northerners would say about Jan/Feb/Mar. 

Ticket prices are really…

Ticket prices are really high for a team that hasn't sniffed the top 25 in a couple years. I know I've said it on here before, but FSU, when they were a top 25 team, you could get $12 general admission tickets to nearly any game. They also sold 3-game packs in assigned seats. We bought a pack of Duke, Louisville, and UNC for $75 six rows off the floor.

Everyone shot lights out the first few games. Easy to win when everything goes in. The deficiencies on defense have come out since then and the shooting has come back down to earth.

Nate Oats or Luke Yaklich if…

Nate Oats or Luke Yaklich if Oats won't come to AA. Yaklich is in year 4 at UIC and his boys are playing some defense. Yaklich is definitely more of a risk, but you know the team will have an identity and be good at something. 

I'd really like to see how this Michigan team comes together the rest of the season. I can remember many a Beilein team that was frustrating to watch in November and December and put it together in the back half of the season. 

It's just frustrating watching this team struggle with the basics; free throw shooting, turnovers, and lack of rebounding/transition. 

Well, that's what happens…

Well, that's what happens when you massively overseed Bermuda with Ryegrass at the last minute. Ryegrass gets wet and slippery when the sun sets. Unfortunately, from what I've heard, the Rose Bowl is a bermuda base with both Kentucky Bluegrass and Ryegrass blended in. KBG has much less slippage issues, so hopefully they're running a higher percentage of KBG this season. The turf managers appear to be very in tune with the slipping issue.

Kid looks like he's rolling a double play with the throwing motion. He's definitely a baseball player, probably middle infielder. I like that Michigan is targeting a guy that is mobile after taking Davis in 2024. I wonder how much Campbell/Harbaugh will try to tweak his motion.

I'm surprised there was no offset clause * for Larry Fedora. I hear he went on to make some really nice hats.

He committed to Boise on Aug 5th, so before the season.

Really nice pickup. Keeps the DMV pipeline trickling to AA.

Michigan still has to beat OSU and PSU. OSU already passed one of their two tests. Seems pretty simple. If Michigan beats PSU in two weeks, their % will jump to the top, or very close.

Why would Michigan fire Harbaugh for this?

Supposedly, ND only had 10 on the field when they gave up the first down on that 3rd and 19 play.

Who is qb2? Donovan had a couple direct snaps tonight and had a nice touchdown pass in 2021. Pretty sure that makes him the most qualified.

That thread is a mess to go through. Not sure why the spreadsheet went away, but it is/was way more organized. Hope one of the mods/admins can shed some light on this.

I've used it in the past, but it's been two or three years since I've been able to make it to a game. The sheets looks quite bare. Hopefully, ticket holders will start adding theirs soon.

Pretty sure there used to be a link in the header, but I don't see it anymore. I wonder if they could add it back in.

I just pulled up the Xfinity site and they are offering 2 years of Peacock Premium for free if you are a gigabit internet subscriber. You have to log in to chat to get the deal.

Father of twin boys (almost 11 months now). I would be pretty happy to see them both play at Michigan. At their 10 month checkup, they were 97% height and 94% and 98% weight. Maybe a couple future o-lineman or tight ends.

I went to LSU at Ole Miss a couple years ago. They had so many spots you could purchase beer, you were never in line for more than 5 minutes and that was at halftime. During play, you'd be in line for a minute or two max.

I'd be okay with a Doppelbock or Dunkel in honor of the German players on the team.

Who knew that at 40 I'd be considered part of the Old Blue crowd.

For equipment, your budget and additional needs are going to determine where to go. I'm currently on just over an acre, with 18k sq ft to mow, so a basic Husqvarna garden tractor is more than enough. We're looking to build on a 10 acre lot in the future, so we'll likely end up with a Ventrac. They're a front mount tractor with over 40 different implements. 4 or 5 different mowers, brush cutters, flail mowers, cultivators, stump grinders, snow blowers, etc.... They just release a fuel injected Kubota version that should last a lifetime.

Tick control - BifenXTS is cheap and extremely effective. It's also oil based, unlike IT that is water based, so it has a longer residual. Higher concentration so applications are less costly. It also works great on the mosquitoes here in Florida.
