Michigan Football Pausing In-person Team Activities
November 30th, 2020 at 11:31 AM ^
How mind boggling that the thought of ending a Michigan football season early is something we want. My god has this program plummeted.
November 30th, 2020 at 12:31 PM ^
The majority of fans on this board are whiny, entitled, and shitty, so the program isn’t the only thing that has plummeted
November 30th, 2020 at 12:37 PM ^
Hahahahaha yeah that’s it. The majority of fans on this site actually had sense at the beginning
November 30th, 2020 at 11:32 AM ^
If this is true, the season is over. You have to fire Don Brown now.
November 30th, 2020 at 11:33 AM ^
It's not entirely unexpected.
November 30th, 2020 at 11:36 AM ^
Yes, I can feel your butthurt. Let it flow through you.
November 30th, 2020 at 11:51 AM ^
Hey. I for one like your posts. You seem to have good info that is consistent with what I get from the inside.
my question for you: what’s going on personally with Gattis?
November 30th, 2020 at 12:08 PM ^
On his coach bio at mgoblue.com, there are his 2 kids listed, but no spouse....would tend to back up what you are saying here.
November 30th, 2020 at 12:35 PM ^
It's like a movie where the heroes are old, washed up, smoking, alcoholic, divorced, estranged from their hot daughters, and decide one night at a bar to get back together for another round of shooting, blowing stuff up, and killing some terrorists.
Starring Liam Neeson, Jim Harbaugh, Josh Gattis, Sly Stallone, Clint Eastwood.

He's all BS dude. He said Michigan and MSU were skipping the season back in september. Go through his post history he's wrong on everything.
November 30th, 2020 at 2:27 PM ^
He wasn't wrong this morning about the COVID team stuff. He posted it first before it came out, but the thread got nuked due to not having a source beyond his friend on the team.
November 30th, 2020 at 11:36 AM ^
Best news I have heard all day
November 30th, 2020 at 11:42 AM ^
That's a week too early
November 30th, 2020 at 11:46 AM ^
Most teams that have shut down activities have missed 2 games at least.
November 30th, 2020 at 12:05 PM ^
*5 weeks too late
/FIFY
November 30th, 2020 at 11:43 AM ^
I don't think we need to pretend like this was done to screw over OSU or prevent more losses. I think the most likely scenario is that the country is in rough shape with COVID spread and it finally hit the team.
November 30th, 2020 at 11:47 AM ^
Most likely, but the language of "presumptive positives" is interesting at least
Especially since you have schools like Bama who get a positive test from Saban and test him until he gets a false negative. At the very least, Michigan is on the cautious side while OSU is desperately trying to field a team that can play
November 30th, 2020 at 12:02 PM ^
I'm guessing the "presumptive positive" relates to the antigen test. They'll get confirmed positives or negatives based on the PCR test, which they give to people that are positive for the antigen test.

Wisconsin literally did the exact same thing two weeks in a row solely to protect their own ass. And nobody batted an eye. But you are right that if a team is going to get called out and investigated on it, it would be Michigan
November 30th, 2020 at 12:01 PM ^
I believe they are testing on Sundays, otherwise they'd have to alter their "7 day rolling averages"
November 30th, 2020 at 12:18 PM ^
I'm probably going to just rely on the information available to me through legitimate sources vs a guy that responds with a rant unrelated to the topic at hand.
November 30th, 2020 at 12:39 PM ^
He is right on all of it!! Especially the drug tests. Kids are informed when NCAA is coming around days prior. They can get their clean urine ready
November 30th, 2020 at 12:59 PM ^
Insert cliche about what assuming does to you and me considering you have no idea wtf I believe
November 30th, 2020 at 11:45 AM ^
Does it hurt OSU?
Then I am in favor
November 30th, 2020 at 11:45 AM ^
? call me crazy but this probably prevents the press conference today...and could potentially end the season. Will this get the transition gears in motion.
November 30th, 2020 at 11:45 AM ^
Only problem is if they don't play the rest of the season, that is less evidence the decision makers are going to get that a change is needed. These last couple games might be needed to fully convince the ones who are fence sitters right now. But at the end of the day you have got to protect the safety of the players and staff. Virus is out of control across the country and will only get worse as we move through the holidays.
November 30th, 2020 at 11:48 AM ^
These 6 games are proof enough...Stevie Wonder could see it’s time for a change! A 60-point ass whooping from OSU does nothing but make us suffer more.
November 30th, 2020 at 12:26 PM ^
Proof enough for you, me and most people on here but who knows where all the prominent donors, regents, AD, etc are at. We had a poster who claimed to have inside info in another thread saying some prominent people still were not convinced.
November 30th, 2020 at 11:52 AM ^
There is no threshold that needs to be met before a coach is fired. Hoke likely was done after the Minnesota game, but wasn't going to be fired until the end of the year. This is further evidenced by the fact he went toe to toe with a national title OSU team and it didn't save his job.
Harbaugh theoretically could've saved his job with a win over OSU (loooool) but he isn't even awarded the chance, so I would just be happy that his last game before evaluation was a double digit home loss to a winless team. That says everything right there
November 30th, 2020 at 11:46 AM ^
Fire or Extend Harbaugh now, Warde. I honestly don't even care anymore. Just do it!
November 30th, 2020 at 11:47 AM ^
Why was the other thread nuked? That poster was right.
November 30th, 2020 at 12:44 PM ^
Or maybe it’s because you posted a rambling incoherent mess.
November 30th, 2020 at 12:43 PM ^
Are you serious? Did you read that post?
November 30th, 2020 at 11:55 AM ^
Adults are one thing but I've poured everything I have into my kid and would absolutely freak out if he were to test positive. Hopefully this is a false alarm.
November 30th, 2020 at 11:56 AM ^
Cancel the season already. Save us from the beating osu will hand us.
November 30th, 2020 at 11:58 AM ^
I was kinda hoping osu was the nail in the coffin for change. Hope all the players are ok tho.
November 30th, 2020 at 11:59 AM ^
To be fair, they were doing team activities before, but I'm not sure that playing dizzy bat in pads should count as activity.
November 30th, 2020 at 12:01 PM ^
Thank you for the redo on this thread, by the way. The original one lacked a source, asked people to guess who precisely had turned up positive (as if this was vital), and then speculated about motives, which for as much as we joke about it, we probably shouldn't take it QUITE as seriously as that poster seemed to take it.
November 30th, 2020 at 12:22 PM ^
Has anyone told you that you write exactly like how Zach Smith tweets? The resemblance is uncanny
November 30th, 2020 at 1:50 PM ^
Ill bite, whats going on with this team? Did Harbaugh lose the team and is he moving on?
