One Frames (demand) at a Time
James Franklin apparently has a sour grapes-induced tummy ache over the PBJ sammiches he missed out on at halftime Saturday.
He's demanding the prevention of potential confrontations in the Lloyd Carr Tunnel by having the Big Ten impose a 1 to 2 minute delay between the teams exiting the field at halftime.
Meanwhile, video of Saturday's little tiff apparently showed Janklin doing nothing but the opposite of peacekeeping, as he instead screamed "choice words" in the direction of the Michigan team and coaches.

Ok, make the away team have their halftime on their bench.

didn't you see his post game presser? the wounds were too fresh for him to yell at his players in the tunnel..... he yelled at ours, because we hadn't been wounded.

We should name the floor after James Franklin, like how they name the ice sheet after Berenson and the building for Yost. Frames Janklin floor at the Lloyd Carr Tunnel.

Or signs in the tunnel stating, "This tunnel is not a safe space."

at least the door mats if not the entire floor

Huh...I looked up James Franklin in the dictionary and it just says "Bitch"
October 19th, 2022 at 8:34 AM ^
you can go edit his wikipedia to include "Michigan's bitch", just get a screen shot right a way, because it'll get changed back pretty quickly.

I would worry that the visiting team would dawdle going into the locker room and shorten Michigan's halftime break.

Two quick thoughts on this.
Notre Dame modeled and built their Stadium after Michigan Stadium. For many years, both teams entered from a single tunnel. However, during Brian Kelly's tenure at ND, a second entrance was actually created for the visiting team.
Now, WHY did ND do this? It wasn't because of conflict and "tussles" between the two teams, it was because ND wanted their teams arrival on the field to be "undistracted" and the fans could bathe in the glory of their arrival.
As for Franklin, my thought is - "deal with it". Recruit better. Don't throw your players (who you recruited, by the way) under the bus. Don't complain that you need a "bigger" DL - recruit and sign the players that have the size you think is necessary to compete effectively in conference play. And, speak with your agent - see if they can extend your contract by another ten years, or more.

His boys were getting beat up and he didn't like it.

Frames trying to distract from the only stat that matters.
Part of the grift that keeps him employed.

Sorry, but the tunnel isn't a 'safe space.' Frames can go fuck himself.

Translation: “My team got its ass kicked this week. I was totally outcoached. But maybe we can talk about something else that hasn’t been a big issue for 100 years.” He should run for political office, that’s where indirection is most highly prized.
