Not really, its very hard for some people to give up the lifestyle when they were making millions which for some feels like infinite money.  

I would bet AP has most of…

I would bet AP has most of his assets in trusts and retirement accounts that can't be touched.  Much of this is probably a good faith show for the courts when he eventually files for bankruptcy.

 

I very well could be wrong.

That might end up being a 9am PDT start believe it or not.  That's something FOX is kicking around.

I wish the kid the best of luck but overall this just feels icky. 

The story about USC coaches…

The story about USC coaches having bags of alcohol on the team flights was eye opening.

Sarks a great story, dude…

Sarks a great story, dude was nearly a rock bottom drunk at USC.  Lost his job, wife, family nearly everything.  He's rebuilt his career without a lot of fanfare or attention. 

Good for him.  If Texas wants to pay him that much to be a football coach let them.

lol, no

I'm ok with this.  Jim did it, he deserves this.

 

I wish S. Moore the best and hope he is just as outstanding.   I just hope down the road we don't lament the fact that because of Harbaugh's propensity to F around and lead people on his yearly NFL odysseys we missed out on Kalen Deboer or Jedd Fisch.

The lobbying for a 3 loss…

The lobbying for a 3 loss SEC outfit to be in the playoffs will be nauseating.

 

I can't believe they left Texas at Texas A&M off that list, first game since TAM bolted for the SEC and could be very meaningful.

For the Championship game I…

For the Championship game I got to hug my best friend from high school who I should have married but didn't because I was a stupid teenager.  We've reacquinted in recent years and helped each other get through the last 7 years.  I will never forget Mikey's pick and both of us off the couch yelling to run and the very deep joyous hug where I yelled in her ear OMG they're going to do it.

 

After the game I sat on my deck and spoke to my dad a twice UM grad and the reason I love Michigan football.  It was cold but it was probably the happiest 15 minutes I've spent with him since he passed.  I don't know if he would have survived the Rich Rod, Hoke years, I'd like to think so but this year he would have been 79 and probably not up to too many games.  Perhaps those tickets would be long gone now.  One of the last acts he did before his to soon passing from cancer was to put the tickets in my name.    Its never been the same of course, and there were times and games that it just felt like a fuking chore.

 

In September watching a game the same friend above asked how come I didn't look happy.  I told her plainly, this is the best Michigan football team I've ever seen, there will never be another group like this one.  Its been such an incredible climb to get here, they can win the national championship but I don't even know if they'll win the Big Ten.  It will never be as great as these three years and each week the ends gets closer.

 

 

I've been a reader for about 18 years, and this blog helped get through some seriously rough patches.  Then content has been incredible and unlike anything any other fan base can provide.  I just want to high five everyone and tell them we're national champions.  We did it.

I really didn't think…

I really didn't think Michigan could do this in todays college football.  Everything is against us, well almost everything, hard work still pays off.  We have rivals working together against us in ways we probably can't even fathom, the SEC got them to change camp  rules because of Harbaugh.

 

Alot of hurt is being washed away by this one great team.  These 3 years have been unbelievable in their own ways.  Tantalizing, remarkable and then getting over the line. 

 

We all knew it was overblown…

We all knew it was overblown, we all knew other teams were accusing us of doing the same damn things they do.  It was a hit job intended to derail a team they knew they couldn't beat again.

Not to rain here but ASU…

Not to rain here but ASU held them to 9 offensive points, the gave up a pick six and missed 2 point play with about 6 min to go while marching in for what might have been their owngame clinching TD.

That game gave me a lot of hope Michigan could win this pretty easily.

He was quiet because…

He was quiet because Washington was afraid to throw at him with the #1 golldanged receiver in college football.

 

Major props to the back 5 that kept McMillion and Polk quiet, very good receivers in their own right.

I guess injured enough to…

I guess injured enough to affect your mechanics is 'extremely injured' but I think 'injured' would have sufficed with a description of how it affected his ability to play.

 

 

Oh God this is really…

Oh God this is really happening.

Washington and Utah games…

Washington and Utah games are fun.

This weekend made me…

This weekend made me remember a lot about the 1987 Rose Bowl, things I had sort of let fade from memory.  I haven't been back, one of my great regrets.  The whole experience is a treasure and I'm sorry to see it changed the way it has, but its very clear this week that it means so much more to Michigan fans.  

These are great.

Herbstreets career should…

Herbstreets career should have ended after the Les Miles rumors he used to benefit Ohio State in the National Championship matchup.

 

 

He's not wrong about the Rose Bowl.  But the people in charge just care about TV $'s.

 

Not surprisingly, many…

Not surprisingly, many schools are offering much more than they can deliver.  ie Miami.

 

How Ole Miss can even be in the same conversation with Alabama, Georgia, LSU is a mystery to me.  

Washington could kick a last…

Washington could kick a last second fg from 64 yards to beat Michigan and it will be "see they ain't nothing without cheating."

 

 

Michigan.  Beat Alabama. In…

Michigan.  Beat Alabama. In the Rose Bowl.

 

Amen buddy.

All for the Sainristil pick…

All for the Sainristil pick six, its gonna take turnovers and weird scores.

Most of what I'm hearing…

Most of what I'm hearing doesn't actually break an NCAA rule but breaks several civil laws.  I don't believe the NCAA could fathom a school hacking or gaining access into another schools practice footage.  If whats being rumored is true some folks at Catapult and Ohio State are in serious legal trouble.  Computer crimes of unauthorized access can reach the federal crimes level.  Crimes committed as a representative of a company or University generally mean termination with cause.

 

Pettetit will look foolish when this all comes out unless he takes an equal stance on the sportsmanship clause he highlighted with Harbaugh.   Day deserves a several games more suspension for this bullshit on top of his whining about Harbaugh.  

 

I also don't think Ohio State is the only school doing what they did with Catapult.

 

 

 

 

Sounds like OSU accessed…

Sounds like OSU accessed Maryland's practice footage.  

 

Maryland!

 

I think once it all comes out, Day will be fired, Ohio State will time it in a way that they can justify re-hiring Urban Meyer.  They'll get their win in Columbus against an 8-3 Michigan team and we'll still be labled as cheaters.

 

 

Creighton's a good coach,…

Creighton's a good coach, was suprised he took that job.  Terrible culture at the school and feeding into it.

 

I was surprised Ron English wasn't able to do well there.

from 'hang 100' confidence to 3 straight losses to Michigan with teams that could win the national championship  has weighed heavily on the Buckeye crowd.

Les Miles to Michigan

His career should have ended that week for that stunt he pulled.    

Some day I really hope it…

Some day I really hope it comes out how awful that school is when dealing with athletes and their crimes.  The bodies burried are numerous.

I'm sure he'll go somewhere in the South.

Game opportunities?  I doubt…

Game opportunities?  I doubt it, he was looking at 3rd RB at best.  Mullings has already passed him, Hall probably has as well and then you have Marshall coming in.  And then what if Edwards stays.

At best he'd be given a chance to compete.

Howard's just not up for this job.  Cut the cord and move on.

My favorite Fran incident is when he slammed a chair on the Breslin Center floor, damaging a piece of the floor.   

MSU could have just replaced it and matched it perfectly and no one would know.............but

 

MSU put a new piece of wood in and stained it a very dark color, so for at least a season in front of the visitors bench there was one long piece of dark wood on their beautiful Breslin floor.

He played football at Ferris State used his graduate year to go to Furman..  I think there are 2 or 3 Pline siblings or cousins around and each had a hand in succesful Fowler sports programs.

Every bad call against Michigan in the 80's and 90's being paid back by the football gods.   Enjoy.  I didn't get it.
