When you put it in that context, it hurts even more. Michigan used to be QBU, and we couldn't lock in the top QBs the past few years. I get that times change, but lets hope that our approach is not a flash in the pan approach.
I think we'll end up just fine, but with that said, I am expecting more than finishing in the 10-15 range. Winning the NC should help us, but we'll see what happens.
I have to say, it really sucks that we couldn't close on Bryce Underwood. The overall #1 recruit in the nation just down the street with such strong connections, and we couldn't close.
I came oh so close to “marrying the enemy”. She was from Shaker and went to OSU, but didn’t care at all for sports, so the relationship was manageable around football season. But I just couldn’t get past the fact that she went to OSU.
Not for me! To put this in perspective, I think Tiger Woods is a shitty human being, a sociopath to be more precise. But I can acknowledge that Tiger is the best golfer ever. I'd pick Tiger over Nicklaus any day of the week.
Definitely not a safety issue. But with that, I do think Detroit is not a great city to host major sporting events outside of the standard pro team game.
I'm an adventurous eater. I've eaten horse, camel etc. When I spent a summer in SE Asia and I tried "bugs" because it was a common fare. It was the only time in my entire trip that I had to take cipro. Never again.
So. I’ve watched exactly 0% of women’s college basketball this year. But I have noticed all these transfers. Someone in the know tell me: is this bad and what does this mean for Michigan?
I agree, I don't see a perfect fit with Michigan, but if what the poster said above is true (in that Cal reached out to us), I'm not sure Dusty May is a better hire compared to Cal in the short term.
But there we people on "the edge of internet" stating this as such and that Michigan may be a candidate for him. At the time, I was thought there is no way he'd leave Kentucky for Michigan, but perhaps we were wrong on this.
I don’t envy the mods on their role. With that someone here mentioned an automatic 2-day ban for bringing up anything politics related. Enough to be annoying, but not overly punitive. I thought that was a good idea.
Well, just like 99% of people on this board, I'm no expert. I thought Juwan Howard was going to be an absolute star. Oops! With that, I learned my lesson in that we should be targeting coaches with more HC experience. DM has very little, and those are at a small no-name school. As mentioned, I think his FF run was kinda of fluke, of which this fanbase puts way too much stock into. If people are so high on bringing in FAU transfers who were the core part of a FF run, then those people should expect more than a shitty season.
Overall, DM has yet to show that he has skills that are transferable to the big stage. That's not to say he won't be successful here. I think he's a huge risk hire.
I guess my point is that after last week's Alex post about Dusty May, I was less than impressed by the hire. I felt his FF run was kinda lucky, and that we are putting way too much into that FF run. I got negged fairly hard. So I played along.
If people are really high on bringing over several of FAU's core FF team, then people should expect more than just having a shitty first year.
Full disclosure: While DM has my full support, I don't think he'll last long at Michigan. I'm just not seeing it.

Ugh! Fenwick?! Really!
I hate those stuck up fuckers, but I grew to love Mike Smith, so I guess I'm cool here.
Dear lord! Just couldn't help yourself, could ya?
Just be glad nobody posted an MSU spring game observations thread.
Is this your new Saved by the Bell commitment gif?
The OL looked good on that drive but I’m not sure if it means anything yet
Looking better though
I think the effort you put forth for the post title was worse.
Better than Tom Raper of Tom Raper RVs

So they all got through admissions? Wow! I'm impressed!
I like C8lan a lot. Or KVIIIlin (yes, that's an 8 in roman numerals if you're wondering) even better
JFC! Michigan admissions has to get their shit together. It seems every other school has no problem.
In the grand scheme of life and what other schools are doing, this most definitely a very small thing.

All your NBA legend sons are belong to us!
Yes. My grandma, some (not all of my) cousins, and my god-daughter. But who else?

Um. Penn state is off the schedule
F Jack Nicklaus! He’s a buckeye
The same place they’ve been getting it all these years

Username checks out?
Yea, that'll be a no from me dawg.

Tiger is a sociopath, and while his vices are bad, Tiger is nowhere near OJ.
Likely because there is some doubt what is happening to Soldier Field in the coming years.
Post title deserves a big thumbs up 👍
No they didn't!

I mean, it’s like right over the border into Ohio, so he didn’t go too far.
Then what’s going on?

I still find this crazy.

I don’t think I realized it until now, but Edey is like 80% of the team.
To be fair, it takes a few moments to see the screen, and sometimes it doesn’t work for people with bad bandwidth. It’s a worthy question to ask IMO.

Amen to that!
Well...to be fair, the kid actually ends up hitting the ball.
Keep in mind, we are up to 18 teams next year, so top 3rd would not necessarily get us in.

I see what you are saying.

I agree! The FAU FF run was more Cinderella/luck than something more substantial.
These are not just decent-good players, but those that led a team to a FF.
Depth will be an issue no doubt.
I was kinda…
Yea kinda.
I was kinda prepped for a bad season next year, but if BM can bring in the core of his FF team, my expectations will rise.
Think about it, if he brings in his FF core, but can't do much in the big ten, then his FF was in fact a big fluke.
