Wish our DL coach could be…

Wish our DL coach could be there but he's in timeout right now.

Man... I don't really feel…

Man... I don't really feel the need to spend time defending Warde, but the blaming everything that happens on him has been way over the top over the last week. People need someone to be mad at I suppose but geez...

Nope. Styles make the fight…

Nope. Styles make the fight. Washington is a better matchup for us despite being better than Texas.

Klatt also picked M to beat…

Klatt also picked M to beat TCU when it was a popular pick. The game still must be played. It's our turn. 

Agreed. I'm not seeing how…

Agreed. I'm not seeing how it will make much of a difference for UM. 

PSU had a top tier defense this year. They were physical and flying around. Just like Ohio State. Nothing about any of Indiana's defenses makes me believe they'll somehow be more devastating. They'll be good like they were before. Good vs Good, someone will be better. Someone is us.

Makes sense. Given his…

Makes sense. Given his profile, being a quick disruptive DT is a more likely path to the field. NFL DE's are freaks and he is not that.

Yeah, more than likely M…

Yeah, more than likely M trainers weren't confident in what they had seen and the staff trusts the trainers. I remember Ondre Pipkins had a similar complaint, then he went to play at Texas Tech. Seems like how they process kids in this situation.

Felt like a situation where…

Felt like a situation where we've been leading too long without a commit for a while now, then insiders started hinting at there being underlying issues. Kind of saw this coming.

“Looks like Belleville is…

“Looks like Belleville is cleaning house, JMO”.

the Internet in a nutshell. Forming opinions based on nothing and then not seeing how that’s a problem. Take this behavior back to Facebook.

EJ seems like he can be more…

EJ seems like he can be more critical of program related things than Sam is used to being, which would make sense why people inside the program would dislike him for it.
 

I.E. Mike Hart. Sam would never be as directly critical of his recruiting efforts as EJ has been. But it honestly doesn’t seem like EJ throws dirt just to do it, he just doesn’t pretend things are fine when they aren’t.

" Going to the national…

" Going to the national championship is “winning something.”

I've been saying for years that the narrative of the Fab Five never winning anything because they lost the Natty twice is some high level dumb shit but I've never been able to get enough people on board because it's a common way of thinking for sports fans.

Winning is hard. Winning a single game elimination tournament is even harder. This is one area where the NBA has a leg up, the best team may lose one game but not 4 out of 7.

Did I say that? Or are you… Did I say that? Or are you just stupid?
Felt to me like he tried to…

Felt to me like he tried to oversimplify by applying the same reasoning to a bunch of plays but it didn't accurately explain all of them. His conclusion that it wasn't physicality but simply out gapping them every play doesn't pass the sniff test.

I’m taking this to mean…

I’m taking this to mean Mason Graham is ready to play. 

Did Scott Frost have some?

Did Scott Frost have some?

This surprises me. He was…

This surprises me. He was dismissed from Bama and Houston for violation of team rules. Michigan doesn't usually roll the dice on those type of guys from a character standpoint. Assuming his relationship with Biff Poggi has something to do with the optimism he can turn it around.

#6 is one of my favorite…

#6 is one of my favorite plays of the game, move it up.

Was about to say the same, looks like it's Ono, who once crowdsurfed at a UC football game to the students delight. 

Mr. Collins, is that you?

Mr. Collins, is that you?

Having concerns about…

Having concerns about bringing in another grad transfer PG is understandable to a certain extent. Calling the coaching staff because Dug McDaniel committed is the most telling part. This was going to be an ongoing problem regardless.

Barnes is the one that makes…

Barnes is the one that makes sense to me. Bufkin leaving would upset my spirit.

"Sobotka was urinating…

"Sobotka was urinating between two Zambonis when he was seen by a male employee."

This comment makes no sense…

This comment makes no sense. Terrance Williams is an undersized 4 in any scenario and he took a step forward in 2022 which would suggest he IS being developed. Shannon is a wing, which we desperately needed. The two have nothing to do with each other. 

You sit on a throne of lies.

You guys remember how good…

You guys remember how good Derrick Walton was in college? The most he's averaged in an NBA season is this year at 6.3 ppg.

The answer is no, now let's go have a beer.

Billingsley was a preseason All SEC tight end selection before he got his spot taken by Latu during the season.

Definitely wouldn't say he is average. I was impressed with Clifford vs UM this year. We blow them out if he is not available and pulling plays out of his ass.

Way too young. RIP

They said we couldn't win by running the football!!

"But to then leap to say…

"But to then leap to say that THE HEAD COACH of one of the teams isn't central to the outcome of the game is downright wrong."

Where did he say that?

I've been struggling with…

I've been struggling with this idea all week.

It takes me back to 2015 when Black O'Neill dropped the punt vs MSU. I couldn't in good faith blame Harbaugh for that loss. Maybe he deserved blame for not fighting harder for a first down the plays before, but still coached well enough to win.

In reviewing this years game, it's the same thing. There are mistakes you can absolutely put on him and others that make it seem like this is just the unluckiest man on Earth.

It's a thin line.

Judging coaches performance is always tricky. People get credit and blame they don’t deserve all the time.

I literally came to make a similar comment. Tennessee isn’t exactly the model of success for us to compare ourselves to. They’re one of few top programs underachieving more than us annually.

The kid literally called and told the coaches he was coming. Don't see how that's a strike against Sam Webb or any other analysts. Shit happens.

Don't expect him to make a…

Don't expect him to make a difference at the D1 Basketball level with the way he plays. He actually can shoot it a bit but even as a stretch four, at 6'5 with round build I don't see it in the B1G. Hunter Dickinson would give him the blues in the paint and even Johns would jump all over him.

I don’t even care about the 3, I want him to start hitting that free throw area jumper. Badly.

Michigan very much wanted Smith back. He went pro on his own accord. But like others have said, besides Frankie who is a true freshman, we would have been depending on SGs for heavy on ball duty. That’s not ideal. Eli is great as a secondary PG option 10mins/gm but he makes his biggest contributions off ball as well. Zeb seems very similar to Eli in this way. An experienced true PG might be the missing piece again.

He cited "cirumstances beyond my control". If the admissions office didn't let this kid in, we might as well stop pretending we're trying to catch OSU.

Well, we hired his…

Well, we hired his replacement a week ago so I’d lean “resignation”.

Re: Cornerback

Re: Cornerback

they only seem like good zone fits bc they are a step slow. We don’t know if they actually have the necessary ability to process where to be in a zone quickly enough to make up for foot speed. You don’t just become good at zone bc you’re slower, you need a higher football IQ. 
 

i.e. Richard Sherman is a very good zone corner because of his understanding
