$1000 to JPCs charity of choice
Per JPC: Next year's schedule is worse than this year's. We might get blown out by Army.
I will take being blown out as losing by 14. I'll take Michigan (-14). Loser pays 1000 to charity of winners choice.
JPC has been talking a lot of shit. Put up some cheddar, commit to the bet publicly or pound sand.
Your move JPC. If we are as terrible as you suggest, this should be a no brainer for you.

I think were gonna need more SSRIs.
Or maybe some Vitamin H as Ms. Dr. Sobchak would say.

I don't bet out of principle. Go donate your money to the Butthurt Harpologist's Society.
January 1st, 2019 at 10:32 AM ^
Shut the fuck up, Donny.
January 1st, 2019 at 10:35 AM ^
Bye Felicia
January 1st, 2019 at 10:37 AM ^
You've been called out publically and it appears you are not convicted enough in your posts to put up a mere rack.... what does that say about you?
January 1st, 2019 at 10:42 AM ^
I told you, asshole - I don't bet. I'd consider giving you $1000 if you undergo chemical castration.
January 1st, 2019 at 11:41 AM ^
I don’t bet either, but I think you’re ok on this one when it comes to the “I don’t bet” position when charity is involved. If you win, a charity gets money. If you lose, a charity gets money. Who can be oppposed to charity?
January 1st, 2019 at 1:01 PM ^
Also, it's your favorite charity -- if you have one. If you don't, considering your analytical skills, I'm sure you could come up with a good one. Well, you could come up with something, anyway. After all, you did figure out that we're playing Army.
January 1st, 2019 at 12:50 PM ^
If I was as poor as you at analyzing things, I would also have zero faith in the probabilities of conclusions being correct.
January 1st, 2019 at 10:33 AM ^
Think of it as a charity viewing of a football game. Either way, a charity wins. Not gambling.
January 1st, 2019 at 10:40 AM ^
You are giving JPC way too much credit. Do you really think he is charitable or willing to put his money where his mouth is? You are calling out a jellyfish!
January 1st, 2019 at 11:01 AM ^
I think maybe YOU'RE giving JPC too much credit, Pete. What makes you think JPC has 1K to put on a bet? I doubt Sparty trolls make that kinda cheddar delivering pizzas.
January 1st, 2019 at 12:20 PM ^
Well unlike you rubes in the flyover states, JPC lives on the coast and I’m sure is dripping with money.

Mozzarella, on the other hand...
January 1st, 2019 at 12:19 PM ^
Weak sauce. Demands more of others than himself. Typical.
January 1st, 2019 at 1:25 PM ^
I'm not demanding anyone bet on a game played by college kids 9 months from now. Your definition of "weak" needs revision.
January 1st, 2019 at 3:48 PM ^
Weak = your arguments and posting history on this blog.
You join and then immediately do nothing but throw garbage around the blog to sow discord. You should go back to rooting for your Sparties or Bucknuts and spare us your trolling.
January 1st, 2019 at 10:37 AM ^
There's a sale at Penny's!

Looks like I picked the wrong year to quit mgoblogging.
January 1st, 2019 at 10:38 AM ^
I say it’ll be a close game and that’s not a knock on Michigan.
Army is damn good, and they held an Oklahoma offense and quarterback that are so many tiers above us to just 28 points.
Add in that it’s week 2 and we may be breaking in a new DC and I say it’s a close-ish Michigan win (10pt-ish game). Sorta like the Air Force game. Not really ever in question, but 100% uncomfortable.
January 1st, 2019 at 10:44 AM ^
I'm with you. Week 2, potential staff changes, option and ball control offense....I know this guy is just calling out a self-loather, but if somebody gave me Army and 14, I would think about it. Army and 17 and I am in.
January 1st, 2019 at 10:48 AM ^
Breaking in a new “DC”? I think you spelled “OC” wrong.
Start over.
January 1st, 2019 at 10:52 AM ^
Some tea leaves being spread that Don Brown may now be interested in Temple job since it opened back up.
Someone said Isaiah Hole expects him to take the job this week. So yes, a DC.
Conversely, I’m not sold on the idea that Harbaugh will relinquish control of the offense and hire a top OC.
January 1st, 2019 at 11:51 AM ^
If he takes that job after what he said about only looking for something that’s a perfect fit and it being on “my terms” and all that, after being the clear third choice for that job, I will be glad to see him go.
January 1st, 2019 at 12:04 PM ^
I'm pretty sure he doesn't care what any of us think.
January 1st, 2019 at 7:13 PM ^
Did I say he did?
January 1st, 2019 at 12:10 PM ^
I'd be more surprised if the Army game is not close.
They're not losing too much, player-wise-- including their starting QB, which is big in their offense. As much as we deride Harbaugh's apparent focus on time of possession, Army uses just that to minimize their opponent's chances on offense, and they're generally able to keep games relatively close.
Army's DC did leave for UNC; that will hurt them. The guy is good.
January 1st, 2019 at 10:49 AM ^
People talk a lot of shit on all sides of the football argument. JPC is no worse than everyone talking about how Michigan was gonna roll OSU (and UF for that matter). I frankly don't understand why people can't debate the merits ( and shortfalls) of the coaching staff and program without resorting to the put up or shut up and f-off stuff. That comes from both sides of the argument, btw.
January 1st, 2019 at 10:57 AM ^
Because that would require that crowd to actually understand the problems that are at hand. So instead they revert to the “You aren’t a true fan” or “That kid is so under the radar” approach when anyone questions.
January 1st, 2019 at 11:44 AM ^
Who said Michigan was gonna roll OSU and Florida? Hell of a strawman though, you dingus.
January 1st, 2019 at 12:13 PM ^
Just about everyone here said UM would roll those two.
January 1st, 2019 at 1:27 PM ^
I didn't, promise.
It made me highly uncomfortable that people were acting like it would be the end of civilization if we didn't go into Columbus and win. Some of the most highly decorated posters here went waayyy out on that limb and it broke which didn't help the mood here.... I do think that if anyone not connected with the program feels that level of rage and it lasts for more than a day after such a loss they would benefit from finding other interests and ideally not football related.
OK I now have to research toilet tank repairs on New Year's Day, and DIY home projects are SO not my forte....grumble, grumble, grumble
January 1st, 2019 at 12:38 PM ^
It’s not always what he says but it is typically how he says it. It’s shitty for the board.
January 1st, 2019 at 11:20 AM ^
Who the fuck is JPC?
January 1st, 2019 at 11:38 AM ^
He is the guy who confused the Peach Bowl and OSU games. When I pointed out his error, he told me to kick rocks. Needless to say, I am enjoying this thread. Mods, please don’t delete this.
January 1st, 2019 at 12:38 PM ^
Shit, I should have known that. I guess I just assumed since it was a new thread, that it must be referring to someone in the media or something. That guy needs to go. The MGoTeam needs to tighten shit up around here.
January 1st, 2019 at 11:49 AM ^
The latest incarnation of Mineral King and/or WD, I'm guessing.
January 1st, 2019 at 5:50 PM ^
Really? Whatever his flaws may be, I have never questioned WD's love of UM. JPC is an obvious troll and a dick who constantly spews shit.
I also don't remember MK saying a lot of negative things about UM.

Army is a good team. Love how their D always attacks the ball to create fumbles & strip sacks.
But who would bet right now, this far ahead ...lol
January 1st, 2019 at 11:27 AM ^
I like JPC. He makes our comments seem smarter, less reactionary, and less full of bullshit. We should all compare ourselves to him and we'll feel better about everything.
January 1st, 2019 at 11:40 AM ^
Username rhyme's out!
January 1st, 2019 at 11:48 AM ^
What are the odds that RedRum and JPC are the same poster? I'd say north of 50%.
January 1st, 2019 at 11:58 AM ^
My account is over a month old, I'm not that original. I'm an accountant from Houston who loves the blog. I do not care if people are critical of JH or our team. We should do more zone on third and long? Maybe. What I don't like is asserting every potentially negative issue of all things UM. That is clear shitting on a program for fun. There are ample sites for people to torch scUM or what ever lame monicer our enimies throw our way.
JPC should grow up and go to his own board.
January 1st, 2019 at 12:15 PM ^
Irony once again rears its beautiful head.
One message board guy telling another to grow up.
That's rich. Particularly after pretty much saying, "Let people post whatever they want (unless I don't like it)."
January 1st, 2019 at 12:52 PM ^
Don't see the irony. We don't talk politics, religion, Manchester United, cinema, new car models, etc. it's reasonable for MGOblog to blog about Michigan football and other sporps. Shitting in UM and being a troll is lame.
January 1st, 2019 at 12:01 PM ^
Who scheduled Army? Never schedule service academy teams if you don't have to.
January 1st, 2019 at 12:17 PM ^
I’ll give you 2 guesses but you will only need 1.
