OT: Taylor Upshaw: Michigan to Colorado to Arizona
Taylor Upshaw has landed at the University of Arizona:
Don't forget Florida before Michigan.
Always love for Taylor in AA after that interception
Free coffee and donuts too.
Hi, my name's Taylor and I'm an interceptor.
I'm to lazy to post the stock pics of the UA cheerleaders but you know what I mean.
That Brennan is easy on the eyes amirite fellas?
All about that base.
Good shit, Jedd!
And I hope Upshaw tears it up when they play Colorado.
I may have to tune into that game and cheer mightily for Upshaw.
His interception deep in Michigan territory, followed by Edward’s 85 yard TD 3 plays later, was one of the most joyous 5 minutes in my recent football memory. I wish him nothing but the best at Arizona.
Just another one of those great Gus Johnson calls that you’re glad you’re on the right side of:
Stroooooud…..just….throws it forward, AND ITS INTERCEPTED!! TAYLOR UPSHAW!
Stroud threw only six interceptions all season. A full one-third of them came against the good guys.
*giggles*
Makes sense that the Texans picked him so high. Michigan isn't in Houston's division!
Another future OSU QB bust in the NFL
Let's not forget the near pick-6 by Macgregor and the B.S. non-fumble call on the Okie sack. Stroud could have given up the ball 4 times, 2 for TD's, and we'd be looking at something like a 59-20 game. I wonder if that would have kept them out of the playoff and in the Utah rematch they deserved.
That makes you “ giggle “?
I want to start a few burner accounts just so I can up vote those plays a few more times
i mean i upvoted you but because this is MICHIGAN fergawdsakes I must point out that this is the WRONG Donovan Edwards TD (wrong being relative of course) to embed.
...
In fairness there were so many I can see how you got confused.
Fixed it for you. But it's always nice to be reminded of the earlier, long touchdown run by Donovan Edwards.
Seeing that pick helps one understand how Stroud scored low on a competency test.
In all honesty, I think the first Michigan game I coherently remember seeing as a teen is the 1987 Rose Bowl loss to ASU, and I've watched just about every meaningful game since. And I struggle to remember a better win. Maybe PSU 1997, simply because there was so much at stake, and it was such an asskicking against JoPa in his house, and emphatically declared that PSU would not be dominating the B1G. That game was probably every bit as sweet to watch, but that game was really just strength on (alleged) strength. The emotional valence was quite binary, simply, can we do this, or is it another close season. But last's year's game had so many subplots. We were missing our best player on offense and defense, and probably the best running back in America to be able to play exactly the gameplan we wanted against OSU. There was the OSU narrative of the previous year's fluke, snowstorm, flu-storm, shitstorm, whatever. There was the homefield, the great weather. There was Urban on the sidelines, and OSU with like 40 recruits in the building. And there was the style of the win. Whereas 2021 was just a simple gameplan that OSU couldn't stop, 2022 was a better melodrama, with OSU dabbling gloriously in hope, and getting to pick their poison in so many different ways.
Yep. That's the kind of quick, redirected tip that's hard to catch, easy to have it splash through your hands and then be standing there in disbelief that you had it. But he sucked it in like a boss. Absolutely huge play overshadowed by 3 other huge plays in that last 5 minutes.
Good luck young man.
Enjoy the coeds and another year of college.
Forever 45-23, "Interception!"
Good luck to him. Wonder why he didn't stick with Coach Prime? Seems like a crystal-clear upgrade for where Colorado looks to be trending right now.
Damn you MGOBLOG I dont even know what is real and what is deep state /s these days.
It's good to see the country.
That's some good shit Fisch.
Hopefully he is Taylor made for that defense.
It would be funny if he thought Don was still there, realized his mistake, and bounced to UMass.
Go west young man
Ah wait you've......
OK just keep going.
to........
So why did he leave here? I mean, we are favorites to win BIG and I believe also favorite for national title... Did he get passed by the second stringers too ? Because if not he would be in the rotation on an epic team vs starting on a mediocre one... I really don't get this one.
Based on what little we know that seems the most likely reason.
I feel like he got contacted and tampered with by Deion when he transferred to Colorado. Got there and realized the kool-aid wasn't near what Deion was selling and got out.
I don’t blame him. “Coach Prime” is a douchebag.
I’ve got a real issue with the guy and how he has run his organization thus far. If you take over any team (sports, business, etc), the worst thing you can do is shit on every person in the building who isn’t immediately willing to suck your dick. You don’t look for the worst in people and actively try to get rid of them. You look for the best in people and try to get the best out of them. What he had done is the same as any other “top performer” who becomes the Manager and has no clue how to lead, inspire people and improve an organization. I hope he fails!
I did not have an issue with Deion or “Coach Prime” prior to this Colorado takeover fiasco. Now, I think he’s no different than any other shitty leader to take over a performance based organization. Fuck “Coach Prime!”
+1 for your take on why most managers are terrible…but unfortunately top performers will continue to be promoted as managers
Deion Sanders hasn't coached a down of D1, and you hate him? It seems like CPrime is already in the game.
I hate that.
Scoreboard.
Nailed it. And if Coach "Prime" pushed Upshaw out the door like he did with so many other players, it makes absolutely no sense. You're telling me that a guy who saw consistent playing time on the DL for one of the best teams in the country last year wouldn't be a guy you could use on a horrible Colorado team this year? Upshaw isn't a star, but he's a leader and someone you could depend on throughout the year, especially for a team that is going to have a ton of young players.
Would love the real back story on the Colorado pitstop
