I’m looking at this like the situation with Cade. Won the Big Ten for Michigan and wasn’t guaranteed a starting gig the following season. Maybe McCord was just too soft to compete for the spot again. 

This is pure gold

Maybe we are learning our lesson? Didn’t Harbaugh basically tell them to piss off with the burger thing? Not sure whatever happened with that situation but seemed like nothing.

Flew out on a Sunday at 7AM. Over an hour to navigate the two lines to just check a bag (one to get the self service sticker and the other to drop it off). Felt like holiday weekend travel and it was just another Sunday in the summer. Security was also about a 30 min adventure for non-TSA pre-check.

I mean there are some real life unicorns on here who are just here for the content, commentary, comedy and don’t feel the need to add their two cents every time an argument gets recycled... just saying.... 

Then again - based on this post probably someone’s burner!

I vaguely recall during the…

I vaguely recall during the deconstruction process some students stole the huge university seal and rolled it down the street to their house. I think they ended up returning it. Too bad as it would've made a nice addition to someone's man cave.

Instigate the media storm Agree - the Michigan social media and PR people and this whole board needs to get about making this a story. The worse this looks, and the more coverage it gets the less likely the NCAA decides to look like the bad guys in this and are more likely to let Ole Miss wear that badge. Then again, it’s the NCAA so who knows...
Totally agree. I was as mad as everyone else about the outcome.

Was all sour about it the rest of the day. Then watched my 7yr old daughter's soccer team lose by 8 goals, saw them all congratulate the other team, get excited about post game snacks, enjoy snacks together and not one of them gave a damn 20 min after it was over. Made me realize sometimes it's better to think like a child....

So you’re saying Alex Malzone = So you are saying Alex Malzone = Alex Moran from BMS?
Well I'll join the self admitted useless... Speculation...Wasn't Gary wearing his backpack on both shoulders on the Inside Michigan show? I'm sure it could've been light but assuming it wasn't empty wouldn't someone likely avoid doing that with a dislocated shoulder? Have no idea but maybe an iota of hopeful indication it isn't too bad...
Those weren't Durkin's guys

Probably could've pointed out that those weren't "Durkin's guys" who hung 51 points on Texas in his second year as the coach.

Second that Kutcher is one of the best in the country. Saw him after taking a decent shot playing beer league hockey. Ended up with my 6th concussion as a result. Guy is as good as they get (was team Neurologist for the US Winter Olympic team, head concussion doc for NBA, etc.) and is a really nice gent as well. If you need to see someone and are in the Brighton area, highly recommend him. Hope your girl gets on the mend.
Wisconsin or PSU?

So I'm trying to not really get my hopes up that this playoff opportunity could actually happen...but also trying to understand what would likely have to happen for it to come to fruition. Why are we rooting for Wisconsin vs Penn State?

First upvote ever Just gave you the only upvote I've ever given. Couldn't have captured my thinking on this issue any better. Well said.
Jumpman Logo Family

I think we are building toward a shirt with a Jumpman Family (like the stick family window stickers) with Lewis' INT, Speight, etc.

Just another level of excellence

When I tossed a comment into a huge thread with my lowly point total about some historical perspective, I never once thought it would lend itself to something as fantastic as this analysis. Kudos to you good sir and your efforts!

Some perspective would be great It would be awesome to see this year's data summarized and compared to previous seasons. Not that anyone wants to relive those years but I would hope it might provide some perspective on just how angry people are this year.

Same worries here But the more spread teams we play with QBs that can take off the more practice the guys get for the OSUs of the world I guess.
1 game is ridiculous

Chip Kelly suspended LaGerrette Blount for the whole season for his sucker punch to the Boise State player after their game ended. While play had just stopped in this instance, it's still just a cheap shot after the game is basically over. 

Well played!

Thanks for that memory  - always a great exercise of how fast you could rattle of a few apples....

Would up vote if I could Spit out a little coffee and got a good laugh out of this...kudos
Lotto > Mitre...

....just saying

They are one and the same according to Funchess...

"Wins and losses are just a statistic..." - Devin Funchess

Rolled the dice And gave it a venture. Good breakdown on Brown's defense. They even compared it to the previous approach without taking shots at how poor it was.
It is only funny until they say it to the wrong person We just had our third kid and moved my six year old's car seat back to the third row of our Acadia. Apparently she has been telling people at kindergarten now that we have three kids we ran out of room and she has to ride in the "trunk." Bit of an awkward conversation was had with her teacher.
Done

Looking forward to my new desk decoration!

All the Chargers Yeah -not saying whether these classify as nice cars or not, nor do I care if they were given a "deal" - but Dodge is just not that popular of a car brand so all of these guys driving a Dodge is a bit odd....
The comments are unbelievable

For some godforsaken reason, I decided to wade into the comments section on the link, and I am now dumber for having done so. If you didn't hate the SEC before, read some of the comments.

Can we please.. Can we please get this little snippet into the piped in music selection before games?
It is a tired POV

The whole "we own the series" stance is tired. There is no question they have dominated the last decade for reasons we all know. That said, acting like Harbaugh has no room to say anything because of the last decade is equally dumb. He personally has lost once as a coach and won as a player. Hopefully it becomes a mute point when he has a winning record as a player and a coach against them.

Ad content - new OT thread topic for a slow period...

Everyone posts what is currently showing up in their banner ads....one of the more driven posters can tally it all up and summarize just what this blog audience really looks like.....on the otherhand...we may not want to know....

Wondered the same thing

Is there as much chatter about Nick Saban's unfinished business in the NFL with every possible NFL job opening? I get maybe not Urban and assuming he's just a college guy, but Saban did the college -> NFL -> college thing too? Maybe I'm just not paying attention to the non-Michigan stories out there....

Awesome

Thanks for the link. That's gold there...

Just curious Just curious what the background on that gif is? It's great!
That is likely who he is referring to

That is likely who he is referring to and it isn't some sort charitable/disability situation or anything. He's very involved with the program, has been for years, graduated from U of M and works for the university. He's a good dude.

Expand the picture It shows his other hand and what looks to be one finger bandaged up
To add to the announcing...

...they were pretty much calling the game over, showing Michigan's upcoming schedule, etc. and the whole time I was thinking "stop jinxing it, it isn't over yet..." 

Well I'm sure she's not too worried..

Well I'm sure she's not too worried if people find out she weighs 110lbs ....unless she's 4'6

The other late hit I was wondering the same thing. Is it not possible to throw the flag for both so if the one gets overturned there is still a late hit call to be made?
Bleach came out in '89 The album Bleach came out in 1989 before Nevermind.. ...signed the guy all of the sudden feeling extra old for recognizing the music he grew up on is deemed DadRawk
Go with ginger beer

Go with ginger beer...and then some vodka, lime juice and put in a copper mug for good measure and you'll be fine in the AM.

Don't take life too seriously Don't take life too seriously, you aren't getting out alive
Uniforms? Totally off topic but my buddy was at the UA Gym today in MD and saw a bunch of UofM UA gear. Thought I would pass along in case you wanted to look into it (odds are you already have pics though).
Ah Touchdowns (Not so) Fond memories of drinking all day there waiting for the rare Michigan night game and then watching Donovan McNabb run all over Michigan in a night game against Syracuse
Worst aftertaste ever Had a sick dog who got prescribed Flagyl and wouldn't take it to save her life. Drove me crazy. Got prescribed the same thing for Cdiff and totally know why now. Tastes like dining on powdered metal.
Same here...best of both worlds

Low taxes and all the benefits of being in AA. Two mile jog from my place to the stadium. Traffic isn't bad now that the construction is done. Grew  up in South Lyon - kind of apples and oranges to AA. Ann Arbor is very different from other places like SL, Chelsea, Dexter, etc. My reco would be decide if you want to be in a smaller community like those, and then go from there.

Love the forecast I love how things turn sunny after Harbaugh day!
I think they are top 10

I think Michigan is in the top 10 for total assistant pay? It's not like they are bottom of the barrel for college teams anyway.
