The Philly special on 4th and 2 -- wtf?

We did South Haven in the…

We did South Haven in the summer of 2020 with three kids--12, 9, 5--and absolutely loved it.

All sounds good to me.  But…

All sounds good to me.  But make it an exploding offer that expires COB.  There is no reason for the University to allow this to continue to drag out.  

Santa/Warde need to make him…

Santa/Warde need to make him an offer to be the highest-paid coach in the Big Ten, but he has to take it or leave it today.  There's no reason to let this process drag out.  And if Harbaugh wants to continue to pursue his NFL dream, we should part ways.  It will suck after everything he's done here, especially in the last two years, but there is no reason to keep dragging this out.  Promote Moore, retain the recruiting class.  

This is nonsensical. …

This is nonsensical.  Michigan is not "bribing" him to do anything.  He's leveraging the marketability he's earned by being a generational talent.  And I'm sure he weighed that against turning pro, which would have also afforded him the opportunity to earn far more than his classmates who will get their degrees.  

Blake Corum coming back is a tremendous benefit to the University of Michigan.  But it's also a tremendous benefit to Blake Corum.  

It really is a terrific…

It really is a terrific point, and the Denard comparator is perfect (even though I agree, Corum should have a longer/more productive NFL career than Denard).  

Death penalty.  And not in…

Death penalty.  And not in the program-killing sense.  I mean someone needs to go to the chair for this.  

He's not letting the…

He's not letting the Athletic Department post that on all the socials if he's planning on jumping at the first NFL offer he receives.  

Yes.  :(

Yes.  :(

I guess, but that's essentially a pre-interview interview.

Sorry, I changed my post so now your response doesn't make sense.  The original post was, essentially, "if not an interview, what was it?"

A conversation about the…

Dear Coach Harbaugh,

What you've done for the football program, especially in the last two years, has been absolutely incredible, and we cannot thank you enough.  It's currently in a far better position than when you inherited it.  But if you're still itching to coach in the NFL again, please resign from your current position and hand over the keys to someone 100% committed to being here.  It's imperative for purposes of maintaining the health of the program, and you certainly won't want for NFL suitors.  

Thanks again.  The last two years have been a blast.  Go Blue.

If he truly gets that kind…

If he truly gets that kind of offer, he should take it, and we should thank him for leaving the program in an exponentially better position than he found it. 

Oh come on.  The bowl record…

Oh come on.  The bowl record is frustrating, as is this constant reporting.  But let's not use that bowl record to diminish everything he's accomplished since he's gotten here, and especially in his last two years.  

Nice…I will let her know…

Nice…I will let her know after I’m done.

Bummer you'll have to let her know.  :(

and half the fanbase is…

and half the fanbase is calling him an idiot and solely blaming him for the loss.

I have heard very fair criticisms of the playcalling on both sides of the ball, but have not heard anyone putting the loss solely on Harbaugh.

Moody got punished for being too good last year

It's like when people stopped voting for Michael Jordan for MVP in the 90s.  Hell yes, the comparison is appropriate!

Yes.  The hot takes--and…

Yes.  The hot takes--and especially the voices--are THE WORST.

In the Wall's defense, we…

In the Wall's defense, we were busy manipulating the legal system to impose the maximum possibility penalty on MSU's "Tunnel 8," while ensuring the charges against Mazi Smith will be dropped.  There are only so many strings we can pull at once.  

Corum's situation is in no…

Corum's situation is in no way comparable to JSN's (nor is Mike Morris'), and you continuing to insist otherwise is absurd.  Why is this hard? 

Wasserman's entire brand is …

Wasserman's entire brand is "Stars Matter."  And while they do, Saturday's game really undercut his belief that they're the only thing that matters.  Hence him leaning in further on the argument in his article.  

In any event, his premise is wrong.  Georgia would crush OSU for the same reason we did.  OSU is weak in the trenches.  Georgia is not.

I think Bud Elliot is a clueless moron.

(I have no idea who Bud Elliot is.)

He was very confused at the…

He was very confused at the end of the first half when Harbaugh was complaining about OSU's late timeout that negated JJ's run.  He thought Harbaugh was upset about how JJ was tackled.  Beyond that, I thought he was fine.  

Actually, it would have been…

Actually, it would have been a one-score game (38-30) had OSU scored on that drive.  They'd have had very little time and would have needed to recover an onside kick, but that play still mattered.  (The Paige interception did not.)

1997.  My sophomore year.  Atmosphere was electric (remember the "Boston" chants throughout?), the din after Woodson's punt return was mind-blowing, the cops were idiotic after the game in trying to stop us from rushing the field (I got pepper-sprayed in the mouth), and we all made it anyways.  Good lord was that amazing.

"Aberration" feels like a better word than "fluke," but who knows.

Comparing Michigan's performance this week to that line from Julia in Street Fighter--a movie I had not seen and with which I was not familiar--was brilliant (and hysterical).  These writeups are consistently impressive!

God, I'd forgotten what an…

God, I'd forgotten what an insufferable prick Bielema is.  I hope we run for 500 on them.  His comments after that game:

"What we do isn't pretty," Bielema said. "A lot of places, there's a certain emphasis on being pretty and being individualized on players."

That seemed to be a shot at Michigan, especially after Bielema was asked about Denard Robinson's 360-yard, four-TD performance.

"For them, that's great," Bielema said. "We would never recruit to that."

Mike Morris got hurt, which…

Mike Morris got hurt, which absolutely sucks, and if it's serious, the timing could not be worse.  But calling anything the coaching staff is doing with respect to this defense "a monumental coaching fail" is insane.  

Poor MSU/Lions fans.  They…

Poor MSU/Lions fans.  They must be so conflicted!

Jake Moody the #4 kicker?!? …

Jake Moody the #4 kicker?!?  Absurd.  He's the best player in the history of football, college or pro, regardless of position.  

Let's go Irish.

MSU at #3 a year ago? Hahahahahaha.

To be clear, Michigan doesn…

To be clear, Michigan doesn't respect MSU, nor should it, because the MSU program is fucking garbage.  But still, that's not a justification for assault.

In the 17-second clip, he…

In the 17-second clip, he says, in circular fashion, that Michigan "gets away with" "Penn State throwing peanut butter and jelly sandwiches."  I honestly don't know who this guy is, and it's clear he's a fucking idiot, but the clip is worth the watch simply for its incomprehensibility.  

It makes them better than…

It makes them better than MSU, which is all that really matters right now.

Both columns struck me as…

Both columns struck me as overly mean spirited, neither was particularly good (or funny).  Disappointing.  I feel like The Daily column used to rise above the morass.  

Okay, but that's a very…

Okay, but that's a very different argument than "what if the kids just want to visit campus?" And again, *a kid can take an official visit to campus if they want.*

Your new argument isn't any more compelling.  Concerns about the "arms race" if Michigan schedules a neutral-site game in Vegas ring a little hollow when these kids are now allowed to be paid via NIL (as they should be).  Quinn Ewers received a million-dollar deal before ever taking a college snap.  I'm not sure what other "Pandora's Box" is going to be opened by allowing teams to recruit at neutral sites.
