At this point, I'm holding…

At this point, I'm holding out hope that Howard steps down at the end of the season for health reasons. 

I don't trust Warde to do anything and I believe that is the best face-saving way out at this point for all parties.

Just checked the score.

Can…

Just checked the score.

Can answer the OP's question: "No.  If Warde doesn't care about our Men's BB team, then neither do I" - which as a lifelong fan is a very hard thing to type.

He was hurt early on. I’m so glad he worked through and showed everyone just how awesome a player (and person) he is. One of my favorite Michigan defensive players.

I recommend Confederacy of Dunces.

Crazy win is better than a loss, but man what the hell happened to our ability to close out games?

Let's close this one out.  Go Blue.

Hopefully he blows them away at his pro day in Ann Arbor.

I think my channel is on a time lapse compared to yours... I'll leave the real-time feedback to you :)

Holy shit.  4.25 for Xavier Worthy.

Roman Wilson just put up a 4…

Roman Wilson just put up a 4.41 on his first run... very fast, but slower than his goal.  I hope his next one is better.

I agree.  Too many of these…

I agree.  Too many of these guys are thrown into the fire right away and it can ruin their careers.  I know they all want to play right away, but landing in a spot where they can grow into the role should be the ideal situation.

That said, if he is going to go early and expected to start year one, I hope it is my hometown Falcons... because they really need a good QB.

He's up in the booth hanging with the announcers right now... doing great.  

(Just noticed one of the announcers is Rich Eisen.  He is obviously a fan.)

Announcers talking up JJ's…

Announcers talking up JJ's performance... sounds like he had an outstanding day.

I saw some highlights from him and he was dead-on on most of his throws.  Also, was surprised to see that his hardest through (61 mph) was only 1 mph less than Joe Milton III.

I just read that Wiggins…

I just read that Wiggins hurt himself at the Combine after running (hip flexor) and ended his workout there.

So disappointing

UM should be dominant

In all major sports

HBD to you as well!

HBD to you as well!

Me too.

Very sad to hear.

I really…

Very sad to hear.

I really enjoyed watching him play.  He was a bright spot on a defense that often wasn't very good.

Cancer sucks.

They are the masters at this…

They are the masters at this and have been doing it for years. 

Self-reporting small things to appear like they care about the rules, but it is really just a smokescreen.

My heart tells me they…

My heart tells me they should all be rated at least 7.0

Along those lines I also…

Along those lines I also thought Jon Vaughn would have a bigger impact in the pros.  Same with Tim Biakabutuka.

My cousin did the traveling…

My cousin did the traveling nurse program for a number of years and loved it. Went all over the US and the world. I asked her and she highly recommends it. 

I have no sympathy for…

I have no sympathy for Draymond. None. 

This is going to be one of…

This is going to be one of those drafts that people look back on and re-rank for years.  

I think in the long-term JJ is going to come out on top as the most productive and biggest winner in the NFL.  He is much more than a game manager and is a great team leader.  

Shannon has almost as many…

Shannon has almost as many points as our entire team at halftime.  That's not good.

I'm going to see them play…

I'm going to see them play when they come to Atlanta in a few weeks.  The Hawks are doing a special "Michigan Night" promo with co-branded Hawks / Michigan hats and opportunities to meet the players - very excited to meet Mo, Franz, and Caleb.

The last time they did this a few years back, my son got a basketball signed by Tim Hardaway, Jr.

Congrats to both of them,…

Congrats to both of them, truly amazing accomplishments.

And while I am a hardcore football fan, I do enjoy reading out all the other Michigan sports so thank you for sharing!

Well, that sucks.

All…

Well, that sucks.

All previous notes made it sound like he was our "DC in-training" under Wink...

Thanks for sharing.  Great…

Thanks for sharing.  Great story - and great catch!!

Good to get a win.

I was…

Good to get a win.

I was starting to feel like this was a Florida Marlins scenario, where they won the World Series in 1997 and then completely dismantled the team to save $$. 

I know these are different situations, but as a fan it is painful to see us lose so many key personnel rather than locking down everyone and gearing up for another run.

Will never forget him in…

Will never forget him in Full Metal Jacket.

I was excited when he first…

I was excited when he first took the job, but now it is time for someone else. 

He just seems to be way in over his head, unable to make decisions, and unwilling to recognize that the college sports landscape is rapidly shifting - so at this point, my belief is that he cannot effectively lead the department.

Time to let someone else have the reins.

This sucks.

This sucks.

I'm usually not one to…

I'm usually not one to advocate for someone losing their job, but with Warde I just think he is way in over his head and not capable of running a topflight athletic program in the changing landscape.

I could go on about this one…

I could go on about this one for a long time, but my simple answer would be - 

Don't just chase the money.  I understand that he wants to make a lot of money fast, but I would encourage him instead to pick a career path based more on something he loves.  Once you graduate college, my belief is your most precious commodity is time - and you want to spend that time doing something you love and surrounded by people that you respect and who care about you.  And, if you're willing to work you ass off, you can also do well financially in the long run.  It's a marathon, not a sprint.

Full disclosure - I graduated from Ross.  I also did the joint Industrial Engineering program (Tauber).  I saw a lot of classmates go into Finance and Investment Banking and I know many of them have done well.  However, I chose a different path focused on building things - products and technologies that are real - and I absolutely do not regret it as I realized early on that I would prefer to be someone who actually makes something instead of someone who makes money off the backs of people who make something.  I probably could have made more money going the pure Finance route (I had worked in that field prior to Ross), but I think I would have been miserable. 

Excellent article, thanks…

Excellent article, thanks for sharing.

Maybe he and his brother…

Maybe he and his brother John can just switch roles for a year (after John wins the Super Bowl this year) to mix things up. 

That way Jim can go for his Super Bowl and John can go for an NCAA championship.

(Yes, I know this is not realistic, but it would be kind of funny if their respective organizations allowed it.)

Give him whatever the fuck…

Give him whatever the fuck he wants. 

Yeah, at last we have a key…

Yeah, at last we have a key contributor coming back!  I hope there are a few more.

And he can be dominant next year.

Tough to come up with a top…

Tough to come up with a top 5 but I would definitely have Woodson, Denard and Desmond there. Then probably Corum and Wheatley. But that leaves out so many great players….  Good problem to have I guess. 

My crazy coincidence ……

My crazy coincidence … Michigan has won two National Championships in my lifetime and I was out of the country for both of them. 
 

(and I typically do not travel in early Jan)

I love it. Great article…

I love it. Great article that captures my emotions as well… the high is much higher right now because the lows were so low. 

Unfortunately for me I’m at…

Unfortunately for me I’m at the airport heading to Europe for work. However the last time Michigan played for the National Championship I was also out of the country - so I take this as a good omen. 
 

as far as what’s in my cup… Delta has Woodford, so I’m in good shape there. 

I just donated.

I just donated.

Was surprised to see no specific players listed like last year... maybe we can use it to keep Harbaugh :)

I've never been to a game at West Point but it is an absolutely beautiful place.  Looking at that picture, makes me want to go to a game there someday.

Great listen.

Great listen.

Marty is a true fan of college football and campus culture.  He does a lot of very entertaining stories about teams and schools.
