Even if it truly was a "mutual agreement" I'm not sure this is the guy I want as a coordinator with our first time head coach.

Martindale just left a job after cursing out the head coach because he fired 2 defensive assistants.  Sounds great that he's stepping up for "his guys" but the reason the head coach fired them is because they, along with Martindale, were working together to bypass the head coach about important decisions:

"was a feeling in the building that Martindale and Drew Wilkins were creating their own fiefdom within the coaching staff, at times bypassing Daboll and believing they had to answer only to each other and, ultimately, ownership."   https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39276348/new-york-giants-wink-martindale-cursed-brian-daboll-firings

Do you follow recruiting at all???

We didn't "pop" on his radar he visited here several times & was down to Michigan or hometown Boise State and ultimately chose them before decommiting when the coach was fired. 

I'm sure there is more that I don't know because I don't follow recruiting that closely but Bair's name has been around for a long time

No? then no there will be no investigation

He was crying at the half of the Penn St game because of the pain which led Sherrone to call almost no pass plays in the second half.  He practiced either 1 or 0 times leading into the Maryland game so he was more than just "banged up"

My first thought was that if he wants to be successful he needs to distance the program from Dantonio & his bad mojo but I don't know if he has the stones to do it

How can you be a recruit and NOT be swayed by seeing Coach & Blake's interviews after the game, it is so clear how much love there is on that team

Thanks Doc, did you ever serve time?

Enjoy the game! 

I went to Columbus one time with a buddy of mine that graduated from there & he couldn't find anyone else to take his extra ticket.  After he asked I stewed on it for a day or two & decided to go & we had a great time down there pregaming.  I was smart enough to not wear any Michigan gear & told him I wouldn't root for Tech but I sure as hell wasn't going to root for Ohio.

The game was a lot more fun for me than it was for him & I like to think that I somehow had a little something to do with the outcome that day https://www.espn.com/college-football/game/_/gameId/400547826

 Not surprisingly, he never invited me to another game & that was fine by me 

This is something that I…

This is something that I noticed anecdotally a couple of years ago as the shift in the program went from being good to great.

We are no longer the team killing ourselves with mental mistakes & dumb, little penalties anymore.  When it comes to The Game we are no longer the undisciplined wannabe getting 15 yd penalties trying to look tough, now it's Ohio doing those things the past couple of seasons.

I have no clue what Harbaugh did to change things but I love not having to worry about a ton of plays wiped out by penalties or the team being way behind the sticks because of a dumb 15 yd unsportsmanlike any longer

No there is definitely a problem that needs to be solved here.  The problem is that college football games are too long and the obvious solution is less commercials but that impacts the $$$ so instead the clock will run more often.

I've had Peacock for a couple of years for Premier League & it is consistently the worst streaming app that I use.  It's a joke trying to rewind and I consistently have audio glitches or dropouts no matter which streaming device I use (Apple TV, Roku or iOS)

If they lose this in PKs it's really gonna hurt because the US dominated this match from start to finish.  58% possession, 9-3 corner advantage & an 11-1 shots on goal advantage

Jersey Mike's is my favorite but I often end up with Jimmy John's because the app is super easy to use & fast, free delivery is clutch when work has me too busy to make lunch or dinner (which is when I'm most likely to eat a sub) 

That statement is a train…

That statement is a train wreck & they would be better served not saying anything at all 

The "something" in his…

The "something" in his mechanics is pretty clear if you watch the Elite 11 tape, he has developed a bit of a wind up.  He's dropping the ball down to his waist or thigh then bringing it up to release it which is causing him to be late on timing throws. 

It's not like his entire throwing motion has changed and this is something he can tighten up, hopefully in high school but if not Michigan will "fix" it.  

Pretty tough to watch these…

Pretty tough to watch these last 2 matches against our toughest CONCACAF opponents and get excited for Berhalter to come back. 

Gio's play has made it clear that this squad is better with him in it & Berhalter's decision to not start him & tell him that he will barely play in the World Cup looks worse & worse as time goes on. 

Excited for Fol, the way he used his body & pointed out the pass for Gio is the type of thing that has been missing from the striker role & his press was excellent as well.

The shortcomings continue to be in the back & while the US escaped with clean sheets there were quite a few dangerous chances from Canada (not so much for Mexico) that could have changed the score line dramatically.  What Canadiens saw from David & Larin is what we are used to seeing from our attackers, dangerous moments blasted over the net without worrying the keeper.  Do we have any Balogun type decisions out there for some big CBs??

Last I have to mention Scalley because his inclusion made me nervous but he was in the right place all night long & basically shut down Davies attack all night so huge props to him 

 

This Oklahoma team was truly…

This Oklahoma team was truly unreal, Storaka was 17-0 with a 1.12 ERA and 106 strikeouts in 99⅔ innings coming into tonight & was 3rd on her TEAM in ERA & K's.  I was worried she would leave Michigan & sit more than start at Oklahoma but she was an important piece on this incredible team.

An absolute masterpiece of a season by the Sooners & most importantly congrats to Alex Storako on getting that Natty
