If nothing else having the…

This is the 1st time I've seen the whole annual timeline written out. 

This is what I'm thinking,…

This is what I'm thinking, seems like the perfect candidate for the Half-back/WR passes that have been making regular appearances in the M game plan the past few years

The Michigan Difference 

@Sharklover The Michigan Difference 

I get it.  For me, it's…

@Perkis-Size Me.  ...I get it.  For me, it's always a little weird that the team is supposed to mete out the primary punishment for assault, domestic violence, e.g. real crimes that there already exists a system to determine guilt and punishment.

Things like the integrity of the game are exactly what the leagues should be most concerned about.

@ and as Southeast Michigan…

@ and as Southeast Michigan has a snow day, my kids are abt to be introduced to "The Schwartz"

This one is a re-sized…

This one is a re-sized version of what UM Football tweeted out and might be my favorite 

Man, I really hope they…

Man, I really hope they unlock him as a receiver... 2 back sets with him AND Kalel at the same time

1. Would be lethal

2. Lessen the stress on a 1st time starter at QB, and

3. Cover up for an inexperienced WR room

He's going to be too busy…

He's going to be too busy saving the world (through the business him and Conor started together)

So is the idea to remove…

So is the idea to remove travelling so he has more time for academics.... I can see some logic there.  Still not a good look over all and Juwan needs to get it together THIS year.

Could be wrong, but I think…

Could be wrong, but I think Semaj morgan did something similar this year too

 

Edit: Yup him and Will Johnson

May be more work than it's…

May be more work than it's worth, but it would be kinda cool to see the UFRs make their way into the (3)-Yearbook project Seth announced.  Reading those are always a good way to re-live games (and also remind me of the unsung heroes who were awesome but that I may forget over time)

 

Note: Not every UFR, but maybe the Rose Bowl and Championship game??

Nobody gets my money as…

Nobody gets my money as consistently (and as happily) as MgoBlog does. 

There is no way I don't buy this. Thanks guys.

I think I would have given…

I think I would have given Offensive MVP to Edwards. His 2 TDs set the tone early, and set up the rest of the night.

On Defense, could give it to just abt any Lineman, Mike or Will. I would go Will because his work on Rome was huge, and that interception and 3 points was a high leverage moment.

NOOOOOOBody!

NOOOOOOBody!

We're National Champions!…

We're National Champions! Let's Fuckin Go!!

We have to make another…

We have to make another category badder than Dude, just so that we can put Will Johnson and Sainristil in it.  They balled out all season

Go Bluuuuuuuuuue!! LFG. 

As…

Go Bluuuuuuuuuue!! LFG. 

As an aside, is the sacrifice complete? Can we have a competent hoops team now?!?

As a former resident of…

As a former resident of Wisconsin, I strongly disagree. There are many Wisconsin and Illinois fans who really hate UM. 

True, and that's why you may…

RE: EZEH-E: True, and that's why you kick the tires and maybe find the exception. Still, as a general rule, think Michigan should stay away from those types.

Why? For him to transfer out…

Why? For him to transfer out after a year.  I would stay away from any LSU/Ole Miss/Texas A$M type recruits.  The players out for a bag are always going to be out for a bag, and that may not be the best for the long term building of a winning team.

If I'm a high-end football recruit with a limited amount of time (10 years?? ) to make my money, I'm doing the same thing.  But that also means they won't be a good fit for every program.   

  I'm only a few years…

  I'm only a few years younger, so that feeling that Michigan will always lose Bowl games was still strong in me.  This team has me believing though.

I just shed a real tear (only a single one though) ... great write up Brian.

Yes.

 

In all seriousness,…

Yes.

 

In all seriousness, Pistons were supposed to be on an upswing this year, but at this point, everyone realizes that isn't happening, and are going to tank for another top 5 pick and hope for better next year.

Which way their recruiting…

Which way their recruiting rankings are trending. For example, Lugard and Jo'Ziah hsve been flying up the rankngs as more attention led to more evaluation of them,  while Jadyn Davis has been dropping recently ( though no Michigan fan seems to know why, since his senior year play has been great)

1. I think people  generally…

1. I think people  generally just search the Umich student directory for all of the commit's names to find out who is (early) enrolled or not.

 

2. Remember, the actual signing of the Letter of Intent is not necessary for enrollment or even joining the team.  What the LOI does do, is commit the school to giving the athlete an athletic scholarship for at least 1 year and commits the student to attending said institution for a least a year. 

That actually would be…

That actually would be awesome!!

Would probably be a ton more work since they have that grasp of Michigan's normal plays and knows generally what it SHOULD look like

Now this is how fan…

Now this is how fan engagement is done. Will definitely look out for this one

I don't know if we'll see a…

I don't know if we'll see a big difference.  PSU has a lot of talent, so while Diaz was good, there's no reason a new DC shouldn't come in and do reasonably well.

Mikey should be in the…

Mikey should be in the Michigan Hall of Fame, and if UM doesn't have one of those yet, we should start one, just so we can add "Mike Sainristil" to it.

That has to be about the…

That has to be about the ugliest 26-0 blowout I've ever seen... and I'll take it happily with no complaints!!

To be fair, as a Nickel…

To be fair, as a Nickel Mikey is an All American, but as a CB, he hasn't shown out quite the same way.... depending on how voters value certain DB attributes over others, I could see the reasoning.

Sir, Why should Big Sean and…

Sir, Why should Big Sean and Eminem have to pay for Ryan Day's sins?  

...To be fair, if someone ruined my day off, I would be upset too.

I like this... Yes OSU, Keep…

I like this... Yes OSU, Keep Day.  Day is awesome. Ryan Day is the best. Ryan Day is just a gosh darn swell fellow!

You really want me to take…

You really want me to take advice from a duck? 

Fuck you. Fuck OSU as a team, a program and as a MF'in school.  And if you down with OSU Fuck you too!!

 

- /s obviously, just joking.  Be well and have a wonderful Holiday Season NotADuck

The fact we can talk abt having a 7th OL as a valid concern...1st World problems

Yeah. I think at least QB runs will be turned on, which could be a game changer in  itself

Has Michigan ever "had…

Has Michigan ever "had something special" on offense for OSU? 

It seems like a thing fans hope for every year, but it never comes true. Even the last 2 years, UM didn't do anything different than the rest of the season, they were just better.

 

Yup, this was the early…

Yup, this was the early season struggles that were always going to happen.   Expectations are still up from what I expected coming into the year.

I was so confused why anyone…

I was so confused why anyone cared abt a fight between Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen in 2023

True, but even if he makes…

True, but even if he makes the right read (which they did most of the time), Blake still gets 3 or 4 yards.   THAT was the plan.  

Use our beef to eke out 3-4 yards a play and walk the ball down the field with little risk of turnovers or huge negatives.  And when one of those LBs messes up one of those difficult reads, they get punished, every time.  

Dumb question, but what…

Dumb question, but what would happen  if we just ignored it and Harbaugh coached anyway?

 

Arrest? Does it invalidate the game? At this point, F@ck them all

So with all of those losses …

So with all of those losses (plus Leigha Brown) would this team be lucky to make the NCAA Tourney?

Or is that the program baseline at this point?  From my bandwagoner's POV, I'm not sure whether the program has improved, or whether we had a generation of players (Naz, Brown, etc) that raised our level for a bit.

That's a lot of dominoes, on…

That's a lot of dominoes, on top of a house of cards,  with no leg to stand on.

I hope so.  This is one year…

I hope so.  This is one year where I have no clue who to expect to be the leader(s) of this team.   1st time in a while where I have no clue who our top 2 or 3 players are going to be.  

I missed that post, but…

I missed that post, but could definitely believe it.

1.  Maybe my head is in the…

1.  Maybe my head is in the sand, but nothing so far makes me believe Michigan was or is doing something really "wrong", i.e. some staffer may have crossed a line, and the NCAA will hand out some punishment that's (hopefully) not materially relevant.  But nothing here makes me feel like any UM win and\or accomplishment is tainted.

2.  It seems like the coaches and players are rightfully focused on the games and not this BS, so for me, the rest of this is just theatre that I'm somewhat enjoying.  All of the hot takes, hypocrisy and grand-standing is undeniably funny, and I'm taking it all in.     

3. Also, this guy has to be a user here, right?   There is no way he is that big a fan, and has not heard of, if not a frequent commenter on the MgoBoard.  So, Mr. Horsey, where are you?   We know you didn't mean to do all of this, how are you doing?   Laying low?   

A pretty good DC though from…

Definitely relevant information, but think I'm gonna sit this post out.
