We all love Jimmy and what…

We all love Jimmy and what he accomplished for the University. From what I read - the players love him. Seems like a great guy. But this game of interviewing with the NFL every year has gown old. It has to impact how recruits (including portal players) look at this program. I think it is time for UM to move on. We should have a coach that "cherishes" being UM's HC and views it as their dream job. Time to let Jimmy go......

Side question please: My son…

Side question please: My son is learning math and asked me:  "how far, in feet, is the UM stadium below ground level?"  I have searched and search. Anyone know? Thanks in advance

Love our special team kickers. 10 kickoffs - no returns. 3-3 field goals (31,26,34) and 2 punts 51,43) XPS 6-6

I fully understand as I live on the Florida east coast. Still mopping up the water and picking up the damage from earlier this week. My prayers are with everyone in Dorian's path. 

"You have to hit beveled…

"You have to hit beveled guilt"  .... very sorry to bother you but I cannot find that. Is this for real? I saw the Season Preview but never saw any instructions about beveled guilt fees.

LOVE your work.  How can I keep seeing it?  Do you require some fee or premium access? if yes - please provide guidance.....  Thank you VERY much

If all of this is true…

If all of this is true.....yeah, times have changed - ok, I get that. But what I don't get:  skip the Bowl game but play in the Senior Bowl. Why risk injury at Senior Bowl?

I am an alumnus - class of '76. Dad was class of '47, Mom class of '48. Daughters class of '10 and '14. Puzzled by what is accomplished through cheap criticism. Constructive criticism yes - but cheap shots? Why?  I never played football. I have no idea how hard it really is - how much it hurts - what it is like to put in the time and effort - only to be chastised for a loss. I didn't see any player quit. I am certain that the players feel 10X worse than any fan. ND was a decent competitor and there is the possibility that these boys could win out and gain a rematch vs Irish. I believe in this team. 

My fear is that since we…

My fear is that since we consume ourselves with UM info - we tend to develop expectations which are not balanced. Most everyone we play will be better than last year. Is it possible that we are "double-better"? I hope so.... 

GA boy coming north!

I guess the Georgia car dealerships were closed

Can he play tackle?

where do I send the money?

I bet a co-worker $50.00 on the OKC-BKN game last night. Where do I send my 1% (50-cents?)

coach-speak

Let's play them one at a time. 

53 minutes
I will end the UM football season with this: 
 
In the last 53 minutes of play, Michigan was out scored 57-0.
 
They led vs Wisconsin 10-7 with 3:30 left to play in the 3rd quarter. Final score: Wisconsin 24 Michigan 10
They led vs Ohio State 20-14 with 1:30 left to play in the 3rd quarter. Final score: Ohio State 31 Michigan 20
They led USC 19-3 with 2:25 left to play in the 3rd quarter. Final score: USC 26 Michigan 19

Bad Ass

Strap it on

I'll take our team and our coaches anyday.  Class and integrity count. 

Excellent

My thanks to whomever puts these together. Exceptional work - enjoyed it very much. Thank you

UCLA & Fisch

ANyone know the status of Jedd Fisch? Is he staying on Kelly's staff? 

HEROIC

Not for me man. That is a gladiator position. You sit in one place, knee on the ground, massive angry men want to crush you and want to do it as fast as they can, thousands of people screaming their lungs out..... and you have to get the snap, set the ball, steady the hold - in all kinds of weather - and ignore that fact you are a milisecond way from disaster. That takes a set!

A buck-fifty

Good coaching is hard to find. Smith was making $150K base and now he will get to advance his trade and make more money for his family. Congrats

perspective

Florida Gators 3 wins; FSU 3 wins; Tennessee 4 wins; Nebraska 4 wins; UCLA 5 wins; Texas 5 wins; Oregon 5 wins; Texas Tech 5 wins....let us not forget the days of RichRod: 3-9; 5-7; 7-6

love gopher

Gopher is good eats

we win out

10-2.

Joe Milton

Our other recruit is Joe Milton. He is 6'5 225 and plays for Orlando Olympia HS. He has played QB in 26 games over 3 years:  Passing stats: 3516 yards; (135 avg per game) 46% completion; 31 TDs; 19 ints. Rushing: 166 carries; 274 yards; 9 TDs

hard to imagine

Hard to imagine what it would be like to have millions of people watching everything you do - every second - commenting on every move, every play, good or bad  - chastising every mistake. I choose to support these kids, good or bad, win or lose, because they are our guys. 

Maize and Blue in Gator Country

I live in Gator county -  which is its own kind of hell. I am sporting my blue-T with maize MICHIGAN - getting booos at the gas station and fingers at the grocery store. Scoreboard. 

thank you

great work - thanks

Stadium Security

Nephew works for local law enforcement. UM has A LOT of security in place. Many plain clothes types - many observers - dogs - etc. 

winds

Anybody know - if winds are constant and/or gusting 20mph+, how does that impact FGs? Is the field low enought to lesson the winds at goal post level?

UNC

So how did UNC skate all this time?

Did Bryan Mone play?

Anyone know if Mone played? I never saw him in the game or on the sideline.

what do 18-20 year olds want?

pushing mid-60s. have no idea what 18-20 year olds want these days. let's just kick ass

maybe....

first game of year

First game of the year - a lot of uncertainty with the starting roster - new coaches - all new special teams. I suggest you watch this one and bet the next game

memories

many a good experience - a few not so great - but mostly, glad I got to experience it

Thank you

nothing is worse than having your university ethics questioned

pets

all types of pets

Sunbelt

Let's dump MSU and play a team from the Sunbelt. 

I vote Grant Perry

He's got great hands and is quicker than fast - very shifty - and tough as nails. 

 

Fairwell

Goodby funny man. You brought a lot of humor to our lives. Thank you

Hutch

That would be a nice touch

Mostly defense

Telfort (LT) and Callaway (WR) are offense

Smith,Davis, Desir-Jones are DL

Houston - LB
