Is there a chance that JH said “if this is the way it’s going to be then F this, I’m not signing any extension.” Admin stopped pushing because what’s there to save?
also leave this shit like and start a mega football conference that has a central governing body to make rules for the good of the sport. Not this piecemeal conference bullshit.
Thank you for your analysis through this whole ordeal and particularly earlier this week! I'd love to hear your take on your estimation of how successful M will be in getting and TRO/PI tonight (or at least in time for the game tomorrow)?
I love this idea and Im more than half-serious asking if it could be a viable option? Like baseball teams do when they sign a celebrity for a one day contract for some promotional gig.
This is un-fucking-believable! How can they do this at the eleventh hour!? This was orchestrated to cause as much chaos as possible to submarine Michigan JH and I am fucking furious!
Detroit news headline: Big Ten response to Michigan, Harbaugh might wait until next week. Article is behind paywall, which I dont have, but its a relatively slow news day...
Doesn't the letter essentially say that the B1G can't do anything until the NCAA investigation is over? So, no fine, no nothing, just sit in the corner and wait? Unless, maybe this falls under the institution clause that we argued cant be used against a person.
Very thorough takedown of some pretty dubious "evidence" from the Conference. Loved the sections that tell the Commissioner exactly what he can't do [all of it basically!]
It also helped me clarify/remember that this business about recording signals, that is really the gas for the flame war from our rivals, is only prohibited during a current game from the sidelines by team personnel. Otherwise, you can legally record away all you like from anywhere you like at just about any other game than that. So, tell me again how CS has violated a rule, but also ruined the integrity of the game? Thought so.
Still not in love with Feldman. He’s barely on the edge of sensationalism and hawt takes, but just barely on this side by the thinnest of margins. This helps some though…
I have been quietly screaming into my pillows the last two weeks+: the media on this whole thing seems to be centering around stealing signs…which is totally LEGAL! When it’s really about whether someone tangentially related to M football went to games in violation of some arcane cost cutting measure. But, hey, arcane-rule-gate not as catchy or eye-popping as signalgate.
The reporting this week goes a long way (all the way) to showing sign stealing is rampant, has basically no competitive advantage, and other conference schools colluding against another (why aren’t we talking about that more?). Perspective is important in all things. Why would you judge the fitness of a fish by its ability to climb a tree? You would judge it the same water where all the other fish swim.
I went to HS with Rep. Brabec's spouse! So cool to see her name on this! Also, kudos to politicians coming together to advocate for common sense and the rule of law and due process...
Loved the Wetzel piece! Happy the narrative is starting to change, no thanks to the hacks at the other sports network (Erroneous Scandal Propagating Network).
Cornhusker, Buckeye, and Wolverine are walking down a beach one day when they find a magical lamp. When they rub it a genie comes out and says that he will grant them each one wish.
The cornhusker says that his family has been farming for generations and he wishes for fertile soil in Nebraska for ever. Poof! He goes off to Nebraska to farm the fertile soil.
The Buckeye says that he is so proud of Ohio and being a Buckeye that he doesn't want anyone or anything to get in and ruin it. So he wishes for a wall to be built around the entire state. Poof! A wall appears and he goes off to be in Ohio.
Finally, it's the Wolverine's turn. The genie asks the Wolverine what his wish will be. The Wolverine says he wants to know more about the wall. The genie says that it is 100 feet tall, 6 feet thick and NOTHING gets in or out. The Wolverine then says, "Fill it up with water"!
...should be replaced. His pedigree for collegiate success is virtually non-existant and closer to being a detriment. Now that the team is bowl bound and the offense is humming, I'm ready to get started on fixing the other half of the equation and become BCS relevant again.
I know CFN and Fiutak are four-letter words here, but I acutally thought he summed it up pretty well in this week's "Cavalcade of Whimsy"
"If I’m a Michigan fan, I’m jacked up right now. First of all, the Rich Rodriguez hot seat talk has to stop now, no matter what happens in the final three games against Purdue, Wisconsin, and Ohio State. The goal isn’t just to be decent, it’s to be a national powerhouse, and the rest of this season has nothing to do with that. Michigan will go to a bowl, and that’s the step that had to be taken; everything else is just gravy. If you want to fire him and get a new head coach, then you’re basically putting off being BCS Championship relevant again until 2014 at the earliest.
Taking the approach that the program is half full, the offense works. Kids, this is what you were buying when you brought the man in from West Virginia, and now you know that when you combine his attack with Michigan-level offensive players, very, very good things will happen. If the defense can do something, anything, then the makings are there for something potentially special. And it should be an easy sell. "
...or you just need a pick-me-up, Google "Valenti meltdown" and click on any of the hundreds of links for pure audio porn. Valenti loses his composure, voice, self-respect...after the Sparty loss in the rain a few years ago to the Domers.
Sometimes I just dial it up to have a smile on a bad day.

...Michigan games at Michigan bars where a few fans from the opposing team happened to be. I always thought "Don't you have your own bar to watch this? Why are you here?" I don't like the invitation one bit.
I like what you've done here...but I'd like to see how the seasons turned out in years that ND won. If we had good to great seasons throughout these eras, then ND win/loss does not necessarily predict season outcome. That being said...wooooooo Focrcier and 3-0! Oh... and "Charlie Weiss should probably eat less"!
I think it would be helpful to have at least one photo/depiction of the actual size and configuration of the text/design in relation to it's placement on the shirt. Otherwise, solid first outing!
The subtext to all the comments from the AAGO official quoted is that the current/old scheme resulted in wasted space that could/should be creating revenue. Using Health and Safety concerns is just a convenient way of justifying the change. If games, chairs, cooking equipment, etc. are such an impediment to first responders and pose such a serious threat to life-safety, why aren't all obstructions (real, potential, perceived, or otherwise) not banned in all tailgating areas everywhere? Can anyone really tell me that emergency personnel have unfettered access to the far corners of the lots behind the stadium and Crisler? AAGO, call it what it is...cash grab. However, it is your property, so feel to manage it however you choose.

don’t want to be…
Bet!
don’t want to be left out!

Why have they lost credibility? I’m legit curious.
I am concerned about same. None of this is a foregone conclusion. Oh I want it so bad I can taste it, Im just not convinced its a gimmee.

M 30s them teens. It will be comfortable win after being agonizingly close for too long.

I hear there is a Nigerian Prince with all kinds of money that he doesn't know what to do with...

Well, that’s it then. Case closed.
Unless, he looked like my children look for their missing things…by standing in one spot, staring at the floor, then saying “nope, not here.”
But Cryin Day wouldn’t do that now, would he?
So, I’ve been incessantly scrolling twitter all night and it looks like you’ve all gone to sleep!? Fine, I will too. Good night and Go Blue!
Polite midwestern manners. I wouldn’t want to embarrass or upset the pillow too much. “Ope, sorry there little fella!”
Still not in love with Feldman. He’s barely on the edge of sensationalism and hawt takes, but just barely on this side by the thinnest of margins. This helps some though…

I agree, this one time.
