How long until some of Michigan’s top professors start leaving for the Chargers? Will we lose Rick’s to LA as well? Replace the terminal gate at LAX with the East Engin arch? Ugh
It seems like Michigan may want to consider punting on first downs and seeing how many points our defense can score.
It is far more likely that Iowa gets a TD when our offense is on the field than when theirs is
I mean if Alabama beats Georgia and everyone else above wins out, this would happen, right? I’m sure fair and partial ESPN and NCAA wouldn’t stand in the way of their SEC darlings being legitimately left out of the playoffs for 3 undefeated teams and a team that won its conference and head to head against the SEC champ
Michigan make the playoffs first and foremost.
But after that, anything that keeps Alabama out. Those assholes and Nick Saban have won 7 times cheating 100 times worse than anything Michigan and Jim Harbaugh didn’t even know about in this whole “scandal” and no one ever says boo about it. Screw them and screw all the SEC slappies.
Seems to me, the less collaborative you are, the less you get punished. When has being panglossian and being a Michigan fan ever worked out in nonsense like this?
Receipt of stolen goods required that the receiving party knows they were stolen as a basic tenet.
The NCAA has already said it has no reason to believe Harbaugh knew what Stallions was up to
What's crazy and I didn't notice until now...Will Johnson probably would have caught him, but he and Grant are basically running at the same speed. Just amazing!
Intellectually, I get the argument and perhaps it makes sense.
But the extremely high chance of me choking on my own vomit and perishing makes it impossible for me to root for OSU for self-preservation. Sorry if that makes me a bad fan or something
Thank you for posting this! I love the podcast content so I gutted through 2 hours of the mic but I was having trouble hearing anything else at the end.
Would be happy to contribute to the better mic collective
We need to super glue that Dixie cup to he dash, then cap the whole freaking car with the same thing they put over Chernobyl.
In an insane conference it’s the only sane choice.
Maybe I missed this in the comments, but didn’t see one of the worst calls. 2006, Troy Smith rolls way out of the pocket, is clearly a threat to run, starts running and then at the last second pulls up and throws an incomplete pass as Shawn Crable tackles him and gets called for roughing the passer.
Given the way the game was going, we make that stop and we win and play for national championship
Greatest three point shot ever.
But for greatest Michigan basketball moment…personally, the year was 2017
The Big Ten tournament was in DC for the first time, just a few miles from my office at the time. I got a ticket for the Thursday game. Not much was expected from the team but they’d been fun to watch and I could t pass up the chance to see them in person.
And then, their plane crashed They were in a freaking plane crash! It was a miracle no one died or even got hurt. Those pilots were heroes that day.
The team had a vote whether they were even going to play. The next day they all got on a plane after surviving a crash the day before. They showed up in the stadium and I didn’t know why they didn’t have real jerseys until later that day. They wore their practice jerseys and played their asses off and won
Three days later I got to go to the finals with my 5 year old daughter. No one gave them a chance against Wisconsin, but they went out and absolutely destroyed them
Afterward, we stayed for the trophy ceremony and for a long time after. Usually keeping my daughter engaged that long would have been impossible, but she sensed the gravity of the situation and was entranced I remember turning to her and telling her this was as good as sports moments get and let’s just soak it all in .
When I first read it, I thought you were going to say Harbaugh was at Home Depot wandering around looking for someone to help. Because, I could easily see him guiding lost people to the plumbing part they needed.
I believe NIL is the problem. The bagmen from OSU have nothing to do now so they started playing college football risk. But cheatin is in their blood and they just couldn’t help themselves.
I really think Franklin should have left his offensive line blocking the tunnel so his players could walk off at their leisure. It might have been their one chance at slowing the UM defense all day.
I watched the Nebraska game in Lincoln, which was fun when I was a kid visiting my grandparents, but now just seems a lot like watching someone being overly mean when disciplining a puppy.
My greatest fear coming out of that game is that by the time we play them, Jay Norville will have replaced Scott Frost as coach and will have brought the entire CSU offensive line with him. Because that would be a substantial upgrade from the mess I saw.
I’ve missed Brian writing 10,000 words about any random non-football subject. Dude could write a book about zebras or the Kardashians or soccer in Nepal and I would read the hell out of it.
The garage may be the most difficult opponent on the schedule, but you've always got a chance. Even the year when the little table had a full mug of coffee spilled on it, an unseasonable warm fall shower gave the lawn a demoralizing upset and the "let's go to the outlet mall WITH the in-laws and kill 2 birds with 1 stone" fiasco turned into an unspeakable ( and in hindsight, predictable) disaster, you still managed to walk into a heavily favored garage and somehow find your groove.
Of course, you were younger then and you seemed about equal to the task of the garage at the start of every season. And even if you do eke out a victory this year, it pales in comparison to the defeats at the hands of My computer is running slow, can you take a look (hadn't lost to them in nearly 2 decades), Can you pick my sister up at the airport (how did that even get in the conference?!?), and the humiliating Put the new swing set together (seriously, this shit used to be fun).
Add in the embarrassing Halloweengate where you brought your daughter home with a poopy diaper, 2 skinned knees and a probable concussion (sure the skinned knees probably made her walk that way, but that turned out to be a pretty lame argument in the face of hysteria) and you have to imagine that no one is going to care if you win in the garage and play in the Shovel the sidewalk bowl this year.
when I was talking to the blender? It made some excellent points, but in the end we agreed that Craig Roh is not a linebacker. Turns out from recent reports that Craig and my blender are on the same page.
Please keep this up, I was too drunk or too sad to know what actually happened until I read it here.
who sent the text to the guy on BSD saying "Sadly, it's not that you're that good, it's just that we're that bad."
Sorry to all my fellow Michigan fans for perpetuating the arrogant Michigan fan stereotype. What I should have said was "McGloin was amazing, how could he possibly squeeze those passes in with only 10-12 yards of room between the receiver and defender. Truly an inspired perfomance. You guys beat a great team and there is no shame for either side today."
I would have said that, but I've been punched in the dong so many times this year it just didn't seem to matter.

JJ is probably leaving
Donovan has a 100% career completion rate.
Donovan needs more touches.
Seems like Donovan should come back and be our starting QB

It was cold and the sun was out, both huge advantages for Michigan. Thanks for sharing my friend
Pretty sure this is exactly the kind of crap that the Big 10 sportsmanship clause is supposed to punish. I’ll hold my breath and wait.
Michigan (beat…
How about
Michigan (beat Iowa)
Washington
FSU
Texas

There are 4 members. The other 2 are from OSU and Northwestern
Big 10 left this door open. We should do them the courtesy of walking through it
Pettiti getting hired could end up being the biggest scandal in Big 10 history
The problem is that it increased in value once the Maize and Blue paint was applied

That’s such a Michigan thing to do. Pig is so much more high variance than Horse.
If Sparty had beaten Michigan last year, the admin would be fighting to the death to keep him.

When my daughter was 5 I used to tell her not to yuck someone else’s yum. She got it but then again she was a pretty bright 5 year old.
There are 1200 people playing and 99% of them are MGoBlog readers.
See, I can use made up statistics to refute your made up statistics.
I'd never seen Parks and Rec before that clip. Now, I think I'm going to have to change that.

Apparently…
risk 1.0 bot
Apparently this is part of the vetting process. Must crush enemies!
I can think of other reasons you’re weird, but probably not that.
Also, I am weird for those same reasons
The spritz of mustard was a really nice touch. Well done!
The Waiting is the hardest part…

Risk is super boring, right up until the point when someone inevitably flips the board over and a massive fistfight breaks out.
Bringing back Juwan worked for basketball…
just noticed Tom Brady is newly available
You have no idea how a meterocrity works. Though a meteorcrity also starts at the top and is very interesting at night.
Somehow we managed not to jinx the Harbaugh search, so I think we can watch the big games together again too.
Posting on the kid's wall itself though = Super Icky. Not that I'm saying Hart20 did this, just referencing the weirdo fans who do.
has an official set up for the Big Chill on Dec. 10th.
