Hockey analysts definitely…

Hockey analysts definitely viewed McDavid as an elite talent from a young age. He was given exceptional player status to allow him to play Junior hockey at the age of 15. Anybody that didn't view him as a generational talent just wasn't paying attention.

That seemed like a lot of…

That seemed like a lot of points til I looked at how Hawaii has done so far this year. They're already 2 games in, gave up 63 points to Vandy and 49 to Western Kentucky. That is a rough start.

"Super Bowl!? Don't talk…

"Super Bowl!? Don't talk about Super Bowl! You kidding me? Super Bowl? I just hope we can win a playoff game." -Me channeling my inner Jim Mora

I think Utah has a…

I think Utah has a reasonable chance at making the playoffs and getting thoroughly handled by a much better opponent... like Michigan.

Two teams remaining in the…

Two teams remaining in the playoffs have 3 Wolverines! Rangers have Motte, Copp, and Trouba. 

Kyle Connor is a super fun…

Kyle Connor is a super fun player to watch. I make sure to watch lots of Jets game highlights because he's always making pretty plays and scoring ridiculous goals.

I thought that would be us…

I thought that would be us after making the freaking playoffs.

Really? I'm sorry you thought that.

Stunning to me that there…

Stunning to me that there are complications with tying a professional sports league to the players' academic enrollment in universities. We MUST find a reasonable way to shoehorn these two things together! /sarcasm

Anyhow, I'm gonna love when we get a bunch of stories about kids getting paid big money only to fuck around be totally ineffectual on the field. Those stories are gonna be funny as hell.

What I hear from people that…

What I hear from people that inexplicably watch the Lions still is that the team actually played really hard and fought hard for their 3 wins. This is both 100% true and a tongue-in-cheek joke.

Somebody described tacos…

Somebody described tacos with beef, lettuce, and cheese as "street tacos" to me recently and I'm 100% sure I furrowed my brow in a confused manner.

That is an incredible…

That is an incredible addition for 2022. 5* transfer and 5* name.

I can see making jokes about…

I can see making jokes about his contract but that's about it.

The thing is that when it…

The thing is that when it takes 3 seasons to lose your first conference game there's very little room for improvement on the field.

I think with Fickell just…

I think with Fickell just down the road even OSU would be okay with not going back to Urban. That guy has just been torching his reputation.

I just like seeing that…

I just like seeing that their fanbase is all worked up with making excuses. I remember those days around here.

First time head coach. Could…

First time head coach. Could boom, bust, or anywhere in between. It'll be interesting to see how it goes. Not a major concern for Michigan since they're not on the schedule for over a decade.

I'm really not concerned…

I'm really not concerned about match-ups for Michigan in the playoffs. Just get there then worry about whoever we get.

That being said, I'm happy for Oklahoma State fans and would be bummed if they got bumped. They've been similarly under the thumb of their rival so Michigan and Oklahoma State overcoming that hurdle in the same year is cool.

Frame it and put it in The…

Frame it and put it in The Louvre!

He got a ton of great shots.

They weren't supposed to…

They weren't supposed to make a bowl and they went 10-2. Don't act like MSU didn't have an unexpectedly great year too.

Brian Kelly is running…

Brian Kelly is running scared from Lincoln Riley at USC! /s

I listened to an Ohio State…

I listened to an Ohio State SBnation instant reaction podcast today and I don't think either of the hosts were over 30 years of age. They were basically stunned and struggling to cope with it. So sweet to hear them talk about weather and refs.

I was definitely laughing to…

I was definitely laughing to myself last night about all the Buckeye fans that paid a punch of money and drove 3 hours to sit out in the cold and watch their team get bullied. Cathartic.

(No subject)

I gotta feel for Vols fans…

I gotta feel for Vols fans. What they've dealt with in Bama and numerous coaching changes feels too familiar.

Utah is a good team, but the…

Utah is a good team, but the point isn't lost. The top of the Pac12 is considerably less scary than the top of the SEC.

A win will cause me to lose…

A win will cause me to lose my damned mind. A loss will cause me to continue on with my day.

I have to wonder if the only…

I have to wonder if the only reason Ruckert doesn't have a star is because there's no reason to pass it to him when they have 3 receivers breaking open all the time.

Chris Olave has been…

Chris Olave has been terrorizing the B1G for years and passed up a first round draft slot to return to Columbus so he could rescue his grandmother who was locked in Ryan Day's basement. 

I laughed out loud when I read this. 

I would be pretty shocked if…

I would be pretty shocked if that were the case. I just look at the coaching candidates out there and the market for them and the other programs seeking them. It looks so undesirable to be a part of right now.

Death sentence in what way?…

Death sentence in what way? Sure it's absolutely tough as hell just to win the division but I don't think that's required in East Lansing. There's no reason to think Mel can't keep MSU doing what they've been doing and turn in quality teams almost every year while hoping they get the right breaks one special year. It's what their last coach did and to much success.

Lol. Tucker beats us in year…

Lol. Tucker beats us in year 1 with an awful team, beats us in year 2 after assembling a team from the transfer portal, and you're talking that arrogant shit almost immediately. You sound like an absolute fucking joke right now.

Yes. That's for keeping beer…

Yes. That's for keeping beer cold and coolers are for pooping in.

My god! This is surely an…

My god! This is surely an observation nobody has made before!

If Mel Tucker gets paid as…

If Mel Tucker gets paid as much as Nick Saban, then I should get paid as much as Scott Frost.

Every time I hear Craig Ross…

Every time I hear Craig Ross reference a game from a literal lifetime ago my eyes roll back into my head and I start hearing static.

Alternatively, if OSU never…

Alternatively, if OSU never punts in this game, I don't think I'll be able to watch.

I'm pulling for WMU because…

I'm pulling for WMU because they're state of Michigan bros.

Fuck SOS. Win games and it doesn't matter.

Stroud will finish with a…

Stroud will finish with a decent amount more passing yards and probably a slightly better completion % compared to Fields' full 2019 season. He's only 5 touchdowns behind Fields' passing TD total (41) but he has slightly more interceptions (5 compared to Fields' 3). Fields also rushed for about 450 more yards and 9 more touchdowns too though. They're actually pretty damned close but Fields was a bigger threat to make plays with his legs.

Drag it out. If this game…

Getting into a shootout with OSU sounds like certain death. Only way I see this game remaining competitive into the 4th quarter is if Michigan drags it out and scores points off turnovers.

I think they need to show…

I think they need to show recruits that they are capable of winning the conference.

Sounds like bullshit to me…

Sounds like bullshit to me but it sure would be interesting to see Texas and Oklahoma start SEC play while in a state of insecurity.

They're not just "still…

They're not just "still ahead of us" they're way ahead of us and everybody else. They're 1st in the country in total yards and yards per play, averaging 8.04 yards per play. Coastal Carolina is the only team in the country that's anywhere near that. Michigan is about 30th.

There isn't a Michigan fan…

There isn't a Michigan fan in the world that didn't have a "I've seen this before" thought when we lost that fumble.

Worst Michigan can finish is…

Worst Michigan can finish is 9-3. They have two games left.

"Improved from last year"…

"Improved from last year" when talking about the 2020 secondary means nothing. I can't even fathom the possibility that there was room to get worse than last year.

You're not considering that…

You're not considering that professional sports have more measures to build parity. Michigan isn't on a level playing field against their schedule so only winning half your games with Michigan's advantages is plainly bad. Bowl eligibility is not nearly equivalent to making the playoffs in a pro league.

I understand that. A .926…

I understand that. A .926 win percentage after leading for 3 quarters could be middle of the road for D1. I don't know. The numbers don't mean much with no point of comparison.

It's hard to say how good it…

It's hard to say how good it is without having any point of comparison. I would bet that tons of teams, probably most, have a good winning percentage when leading after 3 quarters.

No team beats Michigan. Only…

No team beats Michigan. Only Michigan can beat themselves.

The doubters always had…

The doubters always had ground to stand on. It's just a matter of how much you wanted to chalk things up to "bad luck" or sample size. The sample size keeps getting bigger and the "luck" isn't changing. I can't even bring myself to try to reason out the coaching situation one way or the other for Michigan as a program. Do I think Harbaugh's likely to piece it together and win a B1G title? Nope. Do I think there's a good chance Michigan hires a better coach and wins a title if they move on from Harbaugh? Don't think so.

So, either way I think I'm just in to watch and dream that they get lucky one year. I certainly don't expect it. I expect more of the consistent shortcomings, but maybe ONE year we can get lucky enough to get OUR doors blown off in the playoffs.
