I like a lot of these names,…

I like a lot of these names, sounds like a lot of good options. However, when I saw this picture when I opened mgoblog I for a moment thought Warde was fired. I guess a CC list is a decent consolation.

The older I get the less I…

The older I get the less I want to waste 2 hours watching us lose whether it be a blowout or a heartbreak. Plus I'm busy with work or family during almost all game times and would rather watch in the peace and quiet at midnight. So my method starting 5 or so years ago has been to avoid the games, try to figure out via our message board if we won or not without getting any details such as the score, and then only watch games we won. Sure once in a blue moon I could miss a great game we lost such as one or more Painter-Beilein offensive extravaganzas or that first half against UCLA that was 50-50 or so, but it's well worth it not blowing hours of my free time on pain. All of which is to say that this season basically never happened from my point of view since I only watched 9 games (we won the exhibition). Hell I didn't even bother trying to not see the score most of this year since I always knew we were going to lose, lol.

This was at least 90% a joke…

This was at least 90% a joke, simmer down, lol.

The remaining 10% is *gestures at the OSU-induced 'scandal' of a few months ago*

I don't like this, this only…

I don't like this, this only makes sense from his pov if he's coming here to spy and sabotage us from the inside!

May have never beat OSU as a…

May have never beat OSU as a player, but he never lost as a coach!

Saban is only the GOAT in…

Saban is only the GOAT in terms of cheating at football. Overall second only to Wooden in that sense. Stop fellating a guy who was only successful by buying an nfl roster, oversigning, and then fucking over the busts. Good riddance.

Comparing the cleanest coach…

Comparing the cleanest coach in history to one of the dirtiest is just plain gross.

lol, use google, there are a…

lol, use google, there are a billion stories about players being paid, often coming from the player themselves.

I don't understand fans who…

I don't understand fans who think anything other than extreme cockiness is cowering. I didnt downplay winning the game, I'm using past results and current states of the teams to predict the future which is 90% of sports fandom. This is our 'everyone left' year and this is their 'everyone came back and more' year. We beat them badly twice when they had awful defenses but that got fixed last year and they were the 2nd best team we played all year. Anyone cocky about us winning next year is lying to themselves or extremely delusional. We could win, I of course hope we win, but we are rightfully underdogs.

I don't think he will. I…

I don't think he will. I think he'd instantly hate it since everything he hated about college has gotten far worse. But I'm all for it!

I don't understand everybody…

I don't understand everybody's confidence. We barely beat them this year with our best team ever. Our defense will be similar in quality this year but we're losing the entire offense, including our top 10 qb. Oh and we replaced half our coaches. Meanwhile OSU got all their draftable guys except 2 to come back and bought a bunch of transfers. If we win this year it'll be 10x the upset from last time we were in Columbus.

Dudek for the burger, think it was Yood for Stalions.

What do Warde and Juwan have to do to get fired?

lol how do you lose by 30 to…

lol how do you lose by 30 to Rutgers, the answer is give up 82 points which raises the question of lol how do you give up 82 to Rutgers.

How does someone so soft…

How does someone so soft mentally get so far in professional sports? Breaking a girl's leg because people giggle when she moves you in a football drill you told her to do? Soft as fuck.

It wasn't traumatic, it's…

It wasn't traumatic, it's education. No clue why I didnt just ask my parents. Internet search engines were probably too primitive back then.

True, my brain was stuck in…

True, my brain was stuck in current football where there are 5 reasonable conferences instead 2 + 1 + 1.

I think for this season only…

I think for this season only you can defy kenpom in your predictions. Hard to jinx yourself when you predict we lose by more than what kenpom thinks.

As shitty as most parents…

As shitty as most parents are, every kid needs classes on all life skills and common sense. This keeps happening to athletes mainly because everyone is dumb and dumb with money in their early twenties. The difference is that's when athletes make the most money while for the rest of us that's when we make the least money and our salaries gradually go up continuously until we retire so as we get smarter with money we make more money instead of the opposite.

I blame schools for people…

I blame schools for people not knowing what cap means and thinking 'no cap' means 'no lie' when they meant 'no limit' and turning it into a slang, yeah. Should 'bone apple tea' be the real term for bon appetit too? When I wrote 'for all intensive purposes' in a paper as a kid and got corrected to 'for all intents and purposes' did I double down on stupid and try to make it a thing? No I corrected myself.

lol I thought this was going…

lol I thought this was going to say he was just going to focus on getting ready for the combine and stop wasting time on this shit show of a basketball program.

Looks like 'no cap' comes…

Looks like 'no cap' comes from a 2017 song in which they meant 'no limit' but dumbasses these days like to misunderstand or mishear things and turn it into slang so somehow people thought it meant 'no lies' and ran with it. I blame our shitty schools and society's current lack of shame and the ability to backtrack anything. File it adjacent to the death of 'begs the question' and 'impacted' and too many more.

Sounds like this is the same…

Sounds like this is the same wishcasting that made other team's fans keep tweeting about grant transferring to them.

The odds of that team being…

The odds of that team being one of the top 4 conference champs seems slim.

I approve of this based on his name alone. I hope he has a PHD.

Michigan definitely has a…

Michigan definitely has a lot of barriers to success that aren't coach-related. However this team is far far far worse than the sum of it's parts which is a coaching failure. The roster building has also been atrocious since the start which is at least partially a coaching failure. Up until this year I was fine with sticking with Juwan as his basketball coaching I felt was good he just needed to learn how to run a program and build a roster in the most difficult era for building a roster. But now the actual basketball part sucks too so I see no upside to keeping him around. Let him go back to the NBA and focus on what he's best at.

That's like saying some people are wrong and some people are right.

Clearly the "1b" since he was offered second. Not complaining, I like the hire, just correcting someone wrong on the internet.

This is the best possible DC…

This is the best possible DC hire since we couldnt get the 3rd amigo (and maybe cullen). If Wink said 'no,' then who the hell are we getting? This is great news...and not just because there were no other options.

espn has had their own streaming service for forever, I was watching Rich Rod and early Beilein games on it...

Just like the iowa game, the…

Just like the iowa game, the other team bricks all their threes so we barely win. We have become the shitty team that beats Beilein teams that happen to miss 3s and fts for a night.

Yes, I was surprised to see the OP say that the two have nothing to do with each other when in fact exercise and lifting heavy is a very effective treatment for parkinsons though I would imagine you'd have to start earlier in the diagnosis.

Can't wait to watch Kenneth grant in the Texas game playing for the wrong team and to watch Mason Graham futilely dominating people on USC's line next year...............................................

Impossible. That's like stopping caring about your kids.

I engage in post victory…

I engage in post victory schadenfreude farming for a couple days after any given win and then I've either seen all the good stuff or it's just repetitive. It's tainted by all the conspiracy theories lately though, like it's impossible to get any enjoyment out of MSU because it's just 'the tunnel did it' or 'cheaters' repeated ad nauseum. It's harder to find good schadenfreude these days.

Or they've changed sides. I…

Or they've changed sides. I was good with Juwan until this year. Want him gone now.

4 coaches out, 0 coaches in,…

4 coaches out, 0 coaches in, need to replace 4 coaches.

This never bothered me about baseball movies because until the steroid era most pro baseball players didn't look like athletes either.

Partridge was an analyst…

Partridge was an analyst before he became a great recruiter and lb coach iirc. Campbell was before he became a good qb coach and recruiter. We had that great OL analyst who we were all sad to see leave and become OL coach at another school.

There are great coaches at the analyst level and our coaches would know who is worth bringing up.

Almost all transfers are for…

Almost all transfers are for paychecks.

I don't think that's…

I don't think that's relevant at all. People almost never chose college over nfl if nfl was an option. Just because being a college coach sucks more now doesnt mean more jobs are available in the nfl. There's the same amount of slots and people always preferred the nfl.

It's not, Michigan lost 4…

It's not, Michigan lost 4 coaches (those listed), and need to hire 4 coaches. So far they've hired none, they've just moved around existing pieces.

Saban was interviewing an…

Saban was interviewing an assistant coach (or maybe it was analyst) 5 minutes before telling the team he was retiring. lol,most coaches do their job until the second they no longer have that job.

The reason the newest and…

The reason the newest and fanciest buildings on every college campus are football related is because football makes so much money they have to invent ways to spend it like locker room waterfalls and other nonsense. We are one of the richest universities and athletic departments with the best tv deal. We can afford to throw money around. This is why I think its idiotic for ADs to focus all on making more money. Why? We have plenty. Focus on the quality of the product and the fan experience and who cares if we lose money in the short term, it will return far more money in the long term.

Question for those defending…

Question for those defending Warde: do you think the holocaust didn't happen?

It's also not normal to be…

It's also not normal to be the subject of two witch hunts. Is this really a Harbaugh issue or is it a Ryan Day and Jim Stapleton issue?

Also was it really 'immunity' or was it that he wanted a three person panel to determine his fate and not Warde? He wanted people to have his back for frivolous attacks.

Only two of his bosses and…

Only two of his bosses and there are plenty of reasons to think he's right about those two.

I appreciate their hats have…

I appreciate their hats have the curve to them. Maybe its just because I grew up in the 80s and 90s but every time I see a kid wearing a hat with a completely flat brim i want to grab it and roll it into a tube, it bothers me irrationally. To make matters worse yesterday my pseudo-nephew was wearing one and giant, stupid crocs while I was telling the story of how everyone in Idiocracy wears crocs because they were brand new and Mike Judge (rightfully) thought they were the dumbest shoes he'd ever seen and that nobody in their right mind would wear them (which inexplicably he was wrong about).

I haven't paid attention to…

I haven't paid attention to the NFL since I was a kid in the 80s and 90s. For some reason Michigan changing players every four years was fine (perhaps because I was used to it from the start) but once my childhood idols retired I lost all interest (was lucky that Montana->Young was seamless). I will try to become a chargers fan but we'll see what happens.

Beilein there was nothing he…

Beilein there was nothing he could do. Bakich and Harbaugh he should have made them say no to an offer with everything they wanted (at the college level) and by all accounts he didn't. Mel was a debacle and Juwan situation is perhaps just as bad.
