I am looking to sell 4 tickets to the natty in lower bowl that I spontaneously purchased in the throes of victory. The tickets are section 140 row Y seats 12-15. Save yourself thousands in fees charged by listing platforms. Fair price to good home. ahoipkem at gmail dot com.

Does the crowd still do “the Claw” on third downs? When it emerged in ‘04 or so, it was endlessly mocked but then somehow caught on.

What’s the basis for federal jurisdiction? Presumably W&C pled around it. No federal question.

Looking for three tickets to OSU game to take my boys (10, 8) to their first game. Coming up from Atlanta. Willing to pay fair market price for good seats. Fingers crossed. Go blue.

You must be new here. The Hoke-Rich Rod era fans would think this comment is hilarious.

Based on what? Throttled an overmatched team. That’s what top teams do. 

All fine and good, except…

All fine and good, except Cade bailed on his teammates. Everyone recognizes the tension between the competitive aspect with wanting to be the starting QB and the team's success. There is no ill will but he was a team captain that bailed on his teammates mid-season without expressing any gratitude to U-M. You can be a competitive person and handle things with class. 

The article bears out the…

The article bears out the odd circumstances of Cade's departure without ever thanking U-M, the fans, etc. Cade is a fiery competitor and a hard worker but it seems like he may be more focused on individual accolades than the ideal "team player." Hope he succeeds at Iowa.

Plus there were a number of near misses on deep balls in the first half of the year. One step here or there. It wasn’t like he was a slinging it wildly around.

Love the Don but he’s not ahead of JJ.

Yes he frequently reminds me that I will never be able to match that present. And he’s not even a U-M fan. Just had going to a game in the Big House on his bucket list.

Same. Nothing (at least sports-wise) beats singing Mr. Brightside down on the field in the snow.

Team 2021. I was there in person, only because my buddy bought tickets for my birthday. I wouldn’t have spent the money to travel to AA, given the results the previous 10 years. By far the greatest sporting event I’ve attended in person. Huge feeling of love in our section. Still get immediate goosebumps whenever someone mentions this Game. 

It’s not, according to a…

It’s not, according to a meeting that my wife attended with an SEC fundraiser and athletic donor (cool story, bro). As it was explained, donations to athletic department are tax deductible but money earmarked for the “collective” that handles NIL is not. 

In the games I’ve seen, TCU…

In the games I’ve seen, TCU threw a lot of jump ball-style deep passes to their big WRs with decent success. I imagine they’ll hit a few vs M. If M contains Duggan’s run game and limits their deep passing game, I expect a comfortable win. 

I categorically do not. Let…

I categorically do not. Let them stew on the L for 364 days. 

OSU was shaky against NW’s…

OSU was shaky against NW’s run game even when they knew it was coming during a wind storm (228 yards at 4.2 ypc excluding sacks). I’d call that a relative punking, at least. 

Exactly. OSU is not the…

Exactly. OSU is not the Death Star offense of the last few years. Their WRs are a major step back from Olave/JSN/Wilson. Only Harrison is on that level. And the issues with their run game are well documented. I think a mid 20s game is reasonably likely. 

OSU had 33 points against…

OSU had 33 points against Maryland with less than 1 min left, which included a gimme TD after a blocked punt. Can’t see them realistically getting more against UM’s D. 

Not remotely true. Beat #2…

Not remotely true. Beat #2 OSU on the road and win B1G at 11-1 is a stone cold lock for playoffs over TCU, USC, etc. Likely the #2 seed.

He’s not coming back to UT…

He’ll be 25 in January so next season will be in the NFL. Fingers crossed he had a big insurance policy to cover draft position. 

This is 4D chess right here.

Great work as always, gentlemen. Now, back to rewatching Hassan run wild over the evil Buckeyes.

My wife is a Georgia Bulldog and they claim it as well. 

We’re good. That is all.

I’m in this camp. Offense runs much more smoothly with PG that is a threat to shoot a jump shot.

I love Wagner but he's not a lottery pick. Great college player; doesn't have the athletic upside that NBA teams want.

Will have to check out the stout. Thanks for the tip. Monday Night puts out some good stuff. 

You are for shit.

You are for shit.

The point is the immediate…

The point is the immediate focus on a tiny negative (Shea’s passing in first half) in a 45-14 win. Pretty sad not to be able to come up with a positive takeaway from the oline or running game. Plus, Shea was actually pretty good once the monsoon passed. 

It’s telling that your…

It’s telling that your initial takeaway from that comprehensive ass whipping is you think Shea made too many mistakes. Cmon man.

You’re the sad one. 

You’re the sad one.

In what world is 10/5 not elite production for a freshmen?

Imagine saying out loud that one of these guys should replace Harbaugh.

So you’re mad about losses that you’re projecting before they occur? Sad life.

Correct. The trolls are out in force.

At least be a little clever with the trolling.

Holy shit, that’s brilliant…

Holy shit, that’s brilliant. Why did no one think about running a vanilla offense? 

The thing that is most odd…

The thing that is most odd to me is the preemptive bitching and moaning predicting losses to everyone. At least wait for the losses to happen to get upset! 

What play(s) from this game…

What play(s) from this game is this take based on? Enlighten us.

This is absolutely the…

This is absolutely the correct take. The fact that has nine downvotes shows either that the fan base is entirely delusional or this board is 90% trolls.

Shea is not a perfect qb. No…

Shea is not a perfect qb. No one is saying he is. But he is also quite obviously the best qb we have. The persistent anti-Shea drumbeat is so damn tiresome.

Best not to watch. 

Best not to watch. 

You forgot to mention he…

You forgot to mention he didn’t deserve any of those 4 TDs. C’mon man, you’re slipping.

Shea is at fault for the RBs…

Shea is at fault for the RBs fumbling 3x , the trade war, and the absence of peace in the Middle East. What a jerk. Get the backup on there pronto. 

Lots of negativity. Who has…

Lots of negativity. Who has PSU beat so far to justify all the fear? Nothing like an “us against the world mentality” to get a bunch of 20-year olds playing their best. Harbaugh is at his best when he can’t go into a shell. I like our guys in this one.

Can someone please ban this guy?

That’s just silly, but I’ll put some money in it if you want to give me UM +9.

Overwrought whining like a bunch of damn teenage girls. At least give the guys until Wisconsin until you write the season off. Truly pathetic.
