I always saw saban as a…

I always saw saban as a pragmatist rather than a bad actor. He tended to call out what he thought was bad for the sport, give a little time for a possible correction, then lean into the problem to exploit it. I'm gonna guess he wasn't front of the pack in terms of player incentives, but I'm sure he did it the best when he decided it was table stakes.

Elon musk is a hype man who…

Elon musk is a hype man who is good at raising money, getting good engineers to work on project ideas that others came up with, and then manipulating markets to his advantage. It's pretty amazing he named his company Tesla because he is as close to Edison as any man alive.

 

He's also one of the most powerful men in the world and simultaneously mentally unwell, barrelling without a thought straight toward The Singularity as quickly as possible without any in depth consideration of what that will mean.

Michigan doesn't want to…

Michigan doesn't want to transition into the new model of unlimited NIL enticements, 24/7 free agency, and school as an afterthought if given a thought at all. And I can't blame the institution for not wanting to be associated with that kind of athletic model.

 

This is a major turning point, where revenue sports become minor league teams branded with college colors. I turn 40 this year and I just don't care anymore. Michigan winning the national championship in football was what I needed to disconnect from college revenue sports. I don't want to be a fan of sports whose model I am unable to defend with a straight face.

I don't think a sub 1% raise…

I don't think a sub 1% raise YOY is gonna cover inflation.

Same. They (the schools, the…

Same. They (the schools, the NCAA, the TV networks) intentionally broke the thing we loved and replaced it with a facsimile roughly approximating the thing we fell in love with so they could wring every penny of revenue possible out of their NFL Lite model.

Translation: if you want…

Translation: if you want high quality, you have to pay for high quality.

 

Same as it ever was.

Ugh, this fucking guy. Every…

Ugh, this fucking guy. Every off season, including after WE WON THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP, we gotta listen to his bitching about stars.

 

Michigan is the fucking king. For at least six more unfootballed months. Please cry about recruiting minutia to yourself.

Never before has an…

Never before has an assistant coach more thoroughly earned his spot to replace a legend than Sherrone Moore. He beat PSU after being informed he was coaching ON THE PLANE TO THE GAME. He beat Ohio State in the most narratively important version of The Game of all time.

 

It's your time now, dawg. Go fuck some teams up.

Universities positions of…

Universities positions of authority are unfortunately political appointments. It matters less about how good you are at your job than how popular you are with the rest of the power figures.

A Michigan legend, FUCKING…

A Michigan legend, FUCKING FOREVER. He conquered the Buckeyes, he ended Saban's dynasty, and he won Michigan a national championship while riding out a few really bad years in the middle.

 

God bless Jim Harbaugh. I will now become a huge Chargers fan.

Anybody else really not care…

Anybody else really not care?

 

Seriously.

 

We just won a national championship. We are entering into an era of college football that is destined to suck, where Michigan and Ohio State realistically might play each other three times in a season, where players play at a different school every year, where leading teams will be minor league NFL teams lightly branded with university logos.

 

We just did the thing we wanted to do, the thing we didn't think was possible just a few months ago. Do your best to enjoy it and stop future tripping.

My family moved to…

My family moved to Northville when I was 10. My parents moved out after the last of us kids did, I was about 30 at the time.

 

A part of me feels sad. I went there... I dunno, a couple times.

 

But also, it was wayyyyyy out of place culturally with everything surrounding it. It was a sad, kinda ugly relic of a past no one really wants to go back to, surrounded by high end retail and nice homes.

 

So... RIP?

Yards between the 20s don't…

Yards between the 20s don't mean a thing.

Don't care. He is a michigan…

Don't care. He is a michigan legend who has earned his right to chase his superbowl. And we already have replacements in place. He can do whatever the fuck he wants.

It's so good, man. It's so…

It's so good, man. It's so fucking good.

Fucking hell man. They…

Fucking hell man. They fucking did it.

 

It's so good. It's so fucking good.

There was a wall of humanity…

There was a wall of humanity between  Latham and the end zone. Not a chance Milroe was getting in after the low snap.

Was this written by an AI?…

Was this written by an AI? It sounds almost human, but not quite.

Probably going to watch in…

Probably going to watch in Conshohocken, just outside of Philadelphia.

Dictionaries are snapshots…

Dictionaries are snapshots of a language at a period of time. English especially is always evolving. Professional vocab is a straw man example that was not relevant to the discussion.

They did call out the no…

They did call out the no-call on the late hit out of bounds, saying JJ was outside even the white paint along the sideline.

 

I thought the coverage was fine.

Who the fuck cares?

Who the fuck cares?

All words and thus all…

All words and thus all meanings are made up.

I can't remember who it was…

I can't remember who it was that muffed the last punt, but he saved the fucking game for us by establishing possession.

 

Shame on you for this post.

They did it. Those crazy…

They did it. Those crazy sons of bitches, they did it.

Honestly, I want him to win…

Honestly, I want him to win and pass the torch, preferably to Sherrone Moore. He's a lightning rod and he always will be. The ncaa does not want him coaching at Michigan. It can't be more crystal clear at this point. It would be best for the program for him to win it all this year then return to the NFL with the team in very capable hands.

I'm kinda amazed that you…

I'm kinda amazed that you were surprised that the quality of fan made Bama sites is bad.

Fuck that shit

Fuck that shit

Oh, he's a shit owner AND an…

Oh, he's a shit owner AND an owner of a for-profit prison company, which should be outlawed for the outright fucking cruelty of the situation. Double winner.

Remember when we beat the…

Remember when we beat the OSU qb who is now one of the best qbs in the NFL twice in a row?

 

I'll worry about Milroe when I have reason to.

Honestly id choose sanderson…

Honestly id choose sanderson over Howard. One is a proven valuable commodity and the other is a first time coach we hired with high hopes. High risk high reward type hire.

Howard seems in over his head. I think any replacement would give similar results.

Guess it's been a minute…

Guess it's been a minute since you were in college.

Honestly, that forced fumble…

Honestly, that forced fumble at Nebraska for the win was the first time in 2021 when I thought "damn... maybe this team is different. We never win those."

I'm glad Twix is catching on…

I'm glad Twix is catching on. The original name wasn't good, but it was a brand and they built on it. That wealthy South African dude coming in and thinking he can just build a brand by clicking send on an email is one of the dumbest things he's done, and that is a long list.

I'd rather that than this…

I'd rather that than this year's schedule, where I barely tuned in before OSU.

Why does this dude feel like…

Why does this dude feel like he's AI generated? Watching this is giving me uncanny valley vibes.

He wasn't getting paid…

He wasn't getting paid enough to put himself at risk trying to be a mobile qb in college.

Where is this image from? I…

Where is this image from? I don't remember seeing anything even close to it on the telecast. Is it AI generated?

Harbaugh making Petitti give…

Harbaugh making Petitti give the trophy to Zinter is the classiest way of shaming that dolt.

 

"I'm not going to be on stage with you. You'll give it to the kid who had his lower leg hanging 90degrees at the mid-shin last weekend for his brothers to win The Game; ya know, one of the men whose legacies you've been working to unravel. Then you can get your ass the fuck out of our celebration."

JJ reads zone D extremely…

JJ reads zone D extremely well. But he is immobile due to injury, taking an entire offensive component off the table.

JJ shouldn't even be on the…

JJ shouldn't even be on the damn field. Run Orji until they stop him and punt. Iowa is not scoring 18 points.

Bama is 100% getting in over…

Bama is 100% getting in over Texas. I don't agree with it, but it is what is going to happen.

JJ shouldn't be on the field.

JJ shouldn't be on the field.

I have no idea how Iowa…

I have no idea how Iowa scores 19 points on offense, even against our second string D.

We should just pull all the…

We should just pull all the starters at this point and let Alex Orji run it for the next 3 quarters.

Three might be enough to win.

Three might be enough to win.

Oh...

Oh...

 

I still bet it was intentional.

The only way Iowa stands a…

The only way Iowa stands a chance is if we turn over the ball. So let's just not do that tonight.
