Warde obviously dislikes him. It will have to come from admin leadership, which is unlikely under the circumstances.

Irrelevant - there’s a rule…

Irrelevant - there’s a rule and we broke it.

Our best case is “we have to do something, so no bowl in 2024 and forfeit your wins for 2 years.

 

It’s the NCAA - even the dude who tipped them off is an investigator (allegedly). They hate us.

 

Please, convince me I’m wrong because this is really depressing.

You have to have proof. More…

You have to have proof. More likely Don Brown refused to stop playing man press when it was getting us killed.

This. Let’s find all the other school’s “guys” asap. Maybe that will mitigate our punishment.

There’s a paper trail.

This…

There’s a paper trail.

This dude is an idiot and about as subtle as a dump truck.

It looks to be very likely that we have been doing exactly what we are accused of.

As far as penalties, it’s the NCAA and we are Michigan so it will be as bad as they can make it.

I do think everyone at a certain level does this, but I’m shocked by the irresponsible reporting and pearl-clutching.

Yeah this wasn’t just…

Yeah this wasn’t just sarcasm.

That was a nasty article.

If we beat both osu and psu,…

If we beat both osu and psu, which. Put at about 30 percentage chance (using the out of my ass methodology), we should be ranked number 1 no matter what anyone else does.

watch out for Maryland. Scary game.

I want to do it so we can…

I want to do it so we can knock them down farther, but I’m not sure I have it in me.

Also, I have a feeling this is penn state’s year. Osu looked dreadful against Notre dame and psu is better by a lot.

 

They need to give Corum the…

They need to give Corum the ball 25 times per game every week (except the one patsy) the rest of the way.

its so frustrating watching Donovan Edwards fall at first contact. Great back but needs one more year in the weight room, just like corum once needed. I am hoping corum’s lack of carries is the coaches desire to protect him and keep him healthy for psu/osu.

He was 106 when the pistons won championships with Isiah.

Can you even conceive of the lines at that place?

I’d love another crack at the playoffs, but beat Ohio.

AI is a term that really shouldn't be used.

There is no existing artificial intelligence.

There is only software of varying levels of complexity.

My bracket is a devastated wasteland of failure.

They spread us out and…

They spread us out and killed us. Need better athletes up front. That’s recruiting and I don’t know how we fix that.

This is awful.

This is awful.

Dont let me be fooled next year going into bowl season.

I'll check back in the third…

I'll check back in the third quarter, but I can't watch this. I don't recognize this team at all. This is what 4 weeks of prep causes I guess. One team is ready, one is still back in Ann Arbor.

I hate myself for so looking…

I hate myself for so looking forward to this game.

It looks like he needs them to be OSU-open to hit them downfield.

We're gonna have to find a way to run the ball.

Here's to hoping for a massive second half - but its hard to see how it happens right now.

So disappointing. If they had just run the ball on 4th and goal instead of getting cute, it might be a slightly different game.

Just bought our first house…

Just bought our first house at age 54. So we agreed that NEXT year we will celebrate properly. Just too much going on with the parents living with us and dad in chemo.

Hope you all had a great year.

Cornelius has one hell of a…

Cornelius has one hell of a name.

I can’t help but expect amazing things with a name like that.

One can only wish for a…

One can only wish for a miraculous cure for this kid. Just awful to hear about this for anyone, let alone an 18 year old.

Hope my dad gets through chemo he’s starting today as well. Pathetic hijacking on my part, but whether or not prayers work, my dad would appreciate them.

Honestly didn’t intend to post about dad, but I don’t seem to be able to stop myself.

I’m not in terror over TCU,…

I’m not in terror over TCU, but their qb worries me. He will run all over the place.

That said, only way I see us losing is turnovers.

USC and UCLA in the big ten…

USC and UCLA in the big ten is just the strangest thing to me as a child of the 70s/80s. I think its great for the big ten as academic and athletic institutions.

Oklahoma and Texas in the SEC?

Next you'll tell me we've put men on the moon!

The one thing I miss as a…

The one thing I miss as a someone who needed to quit drinking is things like this.

Really nice wine with food and really nice malt products afterwards or during a game/movie.

Actually, let me not romanticize this so I stay firmly on the wagon.

A hearty hope that all of my mGoFineMaltProductEnjoying brethren get something special for the holidays.

The tweets appear to have been deleted. What did they say?

I’m really shocked at Mc…

I’m really shocked at Mc Carthy’s inaccuracy to open receivers sometimes.

That said, the boys are getting the job done. They are causing me gray hairs, but getting it done.

Go Blue!

I’m glad they won, but JJ has some problems to address this week.

I would feel that it’s in the bag if we could run for more than a 2 yard loss.

One first down from a deserved loss.

I hope we get the ball back.

Absolutely horrific play by our offense.

Ridiculous decision to kick the field goal when we can’t stop their offense.

This is killing me.

Glad that worked, but that…

Glad that worked, but that was the lowest percentage, most dangerous 4th down play I’ve ever seen.

Followed by two terrible plays.

Gash is way over his head.

4th down again. Terrible throw. All on JJ.

Someone hold me.

Defense was shaky but got a…

Defense was shaky but got a stop. Offense has to put it in the end zone. 
 

Not sure why we are so intimidated.

I believe it’s gonna happen. Let’s go blue!

Well, we picked the wrong qb…

Come on defense!

Are we going to lose to…

Are we going to lose to Illinois?

We appear to have no interest in victory today. Flat as a pancake. 
 

edit: now we are down a touchdown and we don’t have a passing game. 
 

Osu will obliterate us. Team appears directionless.

Edit 2: this is very disappointing. Both sides of the ball are terrible. I can’t fathom a way we win this game without  Corum.

 

edit 3: yes, we are going to lose to Illinois. Did we pick the wrong quarterback or would it not matter? 
 

I am still rooting until the very last whistle, but this is a shocking performance.

That was huge That was huge

Is Maryland that good or are we looking at a bumpy year?

Probably 2000. I was a big…

Probably 2000. I was a big Drew Henson fan since he was from my High School (and he was supremely talented).

If Michigan's defense was even good that year, we could have gone undefeated (more likely 11-1 since we lost to UCLA in a squeaker when Henson was out with an injury).

The Northwestern game was crushing though.

I enjoyed the Brady years quite a bit also. Tom Brady earned my lifelong respect when he fought off Drew Henson and just played incredibly football under tremendous pressure.

2006 was great, but that loss to OSU was a gut punch. Then getting blown out by USC left a very sour taste in my mouth.

A cream-colored mid-80s…

A cream-colored mid-80s escort wagon. 
 

It had a bullet hole bored into the roof right above the drivers side door, where I’d been shot at in Cleveland.

If you drive it for more than 10 minutes, the engine would catch fire from the oil that oozed out of it.

I would stop every 10 minutes and pour a half gallon of water on the engine. Absolute genius level stuff.

Half the muffler was gone, so I wrapped carpet around what was left and kept driving.

Sold that thing for 50 bucks when I left Minnesota two years later.

This year in the big ten in…

This year in the big ten in terms of likely record only:

- Ohio State

- Wisconsin (not by much)

- Penn State

- Iowa (probably)

- Michigan State

My prayers are with you and…

My prayers are with you and your family.

I've been an alcoholic/addict for 30 years in daily recovery and I've seen friends fall. Watched a man with 10 percent liver function fight like a mad dog to be allowed to drink until he had 5 percent left and then quit. He never did.

Even at my very worst, I laughed at the idea that I needed help.

Never assume that the person you care about will understand their own suffering.

Please, if people you care about express concern about your use, don't dismiss it. Even if your monster inside sneers at them, take a chance on yourself.

Those left behind, there is no solace. But, please know that you are not to blame. I understand that makes the grief no less.

I'm done getting insanely…

I'm done getting insanely angry over shit I've seen most years since forever. But, its disappointing.

We will not run the ball against good defenses, and apparently, we won't throw the ball either.

I don't think we can improve on Harbaugh in a coaching search, but this is disappointing.

Glad we got a turnover there, or I'm not sure we win.

Best case: Rutgers wins 9 or 10 games (that won't happen) and we find out they are a REALLY good defense. Also, throw the ball more.

I guess our initial expectations were spot on.
