Funny you show outrage about…

Almost every woman I know gets super pissed when they hear that word, no matter how it's used.  But I understand that other parts of the country and generations may not feel the same.

I'm glad that I'm not alone…

I'm glad that I'm not alone when I think of Johnson returning punts.  It's just not worth it, I think Ronnie Bell against WMU first and not Charles Woodson against OSU.

Not really, it's covered in…

Not really odd, it's covered in the Constitution.

Article II, Section 1, Clause 5:

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

We were 6-0 last season,…

We were 6-0 last season, including 3-0 against the most challenging part of our schedule, without Harbaugh.

The players collectively…

The players collectively bargained with the owners is why NFL players drafted high get more money.  There is a huge difference between that and what is currently going on with NIL.  

Let an NFL player find out that a bench player is making more than them, and they have no contract.  They will be playing somewhere else and the coach gets to deal with the attitude the rest of the year.

It wouldn't have mattered…

It wouldn't have mattered even if they were still here; a show cause penalty means that anyone wanting to hire them before the show cause was complete would also serve the penalties.

I agree that anyone who…

I agree that anyone who needs a translator shouldn't gamble on who they hire. Don't risk it; the odds are not in your favor. Just hire Ippei Mizuhara.

If the NCAA pulled me over…

If the NCAA pulled me over for going .5 over, I'd do the same thing, except Id stay there for a few minutes to allow them to inhale all the smoke.

What about on his day off?

What about on his day off?

Maybe add that it is a NIL fundraiser and includes.

Enjoy a delicious dinner while spending time with current players, Coach Moore and staff, and close friends of the program. Get ready for an evening filled with camaraderie and celebration as we toast to the success of our alumni getting drafted. This is an event you won't want to miss!

Yeah, it sucks going into…

Yeah, it sucks going into Columbus and losing but what did you expect, we rested our starters because we had already clinched a birth in the title game against Penn State?

Pretty hard not to get…

Pretty hard not to get caught up in the run Scheffler is on right now.  Reminds me of how dominate Tiger was in his prime.  Watching him close this out is pretty fun to watch.  Still a lot of tough holes left but he seems locked in.

Kobe made it clear in every…

How about we just see what the man himself had to say about this.

As for any interest from Kobe in Michigan, that would not have been a crazy idea, Kobe was in High School during the Fab Five.

The federal government could…

The federal government could step in and push the NCAA and, more importantly, conferences into action without needing direct negotiation. They could force the NCAA's hand and pay players from Army, Navy, and Air Force for playing football.

There's absolutely no way the NCAA would target the service academies—at least, I hope they're not that clueless. But they tend to prove me wrong time and time again. Plus, this approach sidesteps the entire Title IX debate since service academies are exempt from it.

As for other universities, players could simply sign contracts with their conferences, allowing them to receive NIL money from the conference. Sure, there'd be more details to work out, and the SEC would probably figure out a way to exploit it, but what we've got now is a mess, and this idea tackles all the excuses I've heard against or why they can't pay players.

Note: I'm no legal expert, so there's a chance what I'm saying is impossible. But from what I've researched, none of it seems to be explicitly forbidden.

Nothing is free. What is it?…

Nothing is free. What is it? Will he attempt to make us buy something or encourage us to fill out a form for a "free" evaluation?

Maybe Im overlooking this…

Maybe I'm overlooking this but CBS/Trapasso is delusional if he doesn't think Zinter is getting drafted.  (I didn't follow the link; I just don't see him listed on OP).

The Michigan game might be…

The Michigan game might be at Wrigley? There is no hard intel. Just read that they are going to be playing a few games there, and it's not hard to connect the dots.  I would still love to see Michigan play Northwestern at Lambeau, but Wrigley would be pretty cool, too.

Kentucky got NIL to Tshiebwe when they went to the Bahamas to play, where no laws prevent him from getting paid.

Vincent "Bo" Jackson has three children, Lamar "Bo" Jackson Jr is not one of them.

NIL was the best and worst…

NIL was the best and worst thing to ever happen to him as a coach.  On the one hand, he gets to leave a collegiate job without vacating an entire season(s); on the other hand, he no longer has a huge advantage in recruiting now that everyone's doing it.

This isn't a video game,…

This isn't a video game, where you try to get the player with the highest rating. In real life you have players on the team who have earned the respect of the team, players look at those players and that is what leads to culture within a program.  Edwards is by all accounts a leader on the team and losing him would be a MUCH larger subtraction than any player we add.

Calipari recruited highly…

Calipari recruited highly-rated players at UMass and Memphis.  The only difference this time around is he appears to be leaving Kentucky, and they won't have to vacate any wins.

Edwards is also a much…

Edwards is also a much better passer, but let's not start recruiting players at RB only because they can pass. /s

As Coach Harbaugh said at…

As Coach Harbaugh said at his introductory news conference "I've since learned that you don't compare, compare one thing to another or one person to another or two great institutions compared to each other, because somebody always gets diminished when you do that."

His comments were about the comments he made regarding Stanford and Michigan academics but it is something that has stuck with me.

In a game, I'd take Denard with this years defense and RB's over any team in the country.

I'm not really sure that's a challenging debate.  If the Chargers can get Bowers and Odunze by trading one pick or trading the rights to MHJ. They take that and laugh at how lucky they just got on their way to the phone to make the selections.

This game did not disappoint, ton of respect for both teams.

There's a 50/50 chance I win or lose the Powerball drawing. This is what I think anytime I read or hear, there's a 50/50 chance of something happening when there are only two outcomes.  Meaning it either happens or it doesn't.

We are tied with Denver at …

We are tied with Denver at +450 to win, which is the worst odds.  BC is favored by 1.5 goals at +130 (-166), which means the money thinks Michigan is more likely to cover, but BC will win outright. (I used DraftKings; there could, of course, be some different lines).

It makes money but does not…

It makes money but does not make a profit. $-650,143 NET PROFIT/LOSS.  But that does not change the fact that it is a revenue-generating sport, with $3,814,113 in revenue.  Actually, all Michgian sports generate some revenue but come nowhere near covering the cost associated with running them, except football and men's basketball, which are both profitable.

Don't follow hockey all that close but when did using your stick to check people and trip them become legal?

You could have skipped that…

You could have skipped that and just said Iowa scored 41 points last season on WMU if you are going for dramatics.  WMU was also in a complete rebuild last season so that needs to be taken into consideration.

How do you win both games and split the games?

There are students who were…

There are students who were not even born the last time they made the Sweet 16. On the other hand, we have played for multiple national titles and have had a streak of Sweet 16 appearances over the last decade that almost matches their historical appearances.

Now, if they beat Uconn, they can strut around all they want because that'll be pretty damn impressive. Let them enjoy it, I guess. It's not like we are rivals, regardless of what they like to think.

Maybe it is, perhaps it isn't, but it's horrible to assume you know his life.

Best of luck, Frankie. I hope you get or have gotten a degree and have taken school seriously.

As long as it's not the East Side of Chicago, I'm good with him not being picked first.

You left out the initials of your Camaro. I've found that most Camaro owners I meet with an SS, 1LE, or ZL1 find it necessary to include those in the name. Personally, I'll tell people if they ask, but I don't find it necessary. I love my 6th Gen Camaro; it's an absolute blast to drive.

If you haven't read it, here's the story from Harbaugh himself about "Who's got it better than us?".

Hillman was also a pretty highly rated recruit as an athlete, but who knows how well he's transitioned to defense. Quentin Johnson or someone out of the portal are options too.
