Articles are rolling in with titles like "Michigan leadership continues to embarrass itself" from places like The Athletic—not exactly the RCMB.


The writer of that Athletic piece, Chris Vannini, used to write for RCMB.

I would guess it's because…

I would guess it's because Brian and the guys just don't care about the message board. I bet they would shut it down if they didn't think it would hurt traffic.

Yes it does, because it puts…

Yes it does, because it puts pressure on the people in power to fix it...

"Any sight of adversity"

"Any sight of adversity"

Lmao. Being a Michigan football fan is adversity.

This feels exactly like Hoke

Seats are assigned. If you…

Seats are assigned. If you want to sneak in, you'll likely have to move in from another section and move to the back wherever someone hasn't shown up (and then you can move down as the game goes along).

If you want legit seats, you can buy tickets from a student and then get them validated at the ticket office for $40 additional each. That lets you walk through the student entrance without any hassle. Easiest way to buy tickets from a student is through U of M student facebook groups. Although, it probably won't be super easy to buy 4 tickets together. So maybe you could buy two student tickets together for the girls and two normal ones for the dads.

Student tickets to Rutgers will likely be very cheap.

 

Here are some details: https://mgoblue.com/sports/2018/9/5/student-tickets-mcard-policies.aspx

Yeah, a couple of years ago…

Yeah, a couple of years ago Brian came out in full force defense of Pitbull on a podcast (when the anti-Pitbull sentiment was at its strongest). Primarily because he is a hilariously weird media construct while also seemingly a really good and happy person.

Lol no. You don't get to be…

Lol no. You don't get to be honored like that if you jump ship.

Seems like Bossi doesn't…

Seems like Bossi doesn't have an issue with his ranking, he just think he's a great fit at Michigan and thus is likely to outperform his actual ability due to that.

Endgame might not even be it…

Endgame might not even be it. Avatar is so far ahead of everything else that it's going to take a special box office run for Endgame to pass it (which is now a possibility with all the numbers we've seen over the past couple of days). If Endgame passes Avatar, there is no way we can possibly project what will pass Endgame in the future. No one could have predicted Avatar's success or the fact that there could have been a 22 movie franchise culminating over the course of 11 years while maintaining its quality.

Rise of the Skywalker has…

Rise of the Skywalker has approximately a zero percent chance of outgrossing EndGame. It'll probably gross in the 1.4 - 1.9 billion range. EndGame is gonna gross somewhere between 2.1 to 2.8 billion.

The Pac12 is worse because…

The Pac12 is worse because no one on the West Coast cares about sports. As Brian said, Delany didn't invent the Michigan and OSU fanbases.

I believe that the 2019…

I believe that the 2019 class is done with AAU for their careers. Cole played in a smaller AAU league, IIRC.

Yep. Kevin Doyle. IMO, not…

Yep. Kevin Doyle. IMO, not signing your LOI is always suspicious so I think it's possible Pesek-Hickson ends up not in the class.

Quentin Johnson already…

Quentin Johnson already secretly signed his LOI but is waiting to announce until February. Not sure why Pesek-Hickson is waiting.

The real example of Webb…

The real example of Webb being disingenuous is Eyabi Anoma. He should be embarrassed about that one. Michigan was completely out of it until randomly like 3 hours before the announcement. And surprise surprise. It was Bama.

If Harbaugh can’t win titles…

If Harbaugh can’t win titles or beat OSU, he should be fired. Plain and simple. We aren’t quite at firing point yet, but trying to reframe the expectations is lame.

That was a good win. One…

That was a good win. One good win does not make a satisfactory season.

Or maybe you're the one…

Or maybe you're the one doing this? Going back over the season, you can't strut your stuff over two wins vs. 7-5 teams.

Blaha is a great Pistons TV…

Blaha is a great Pistons TV guy and he is not even super homerish when covering them and gives lots of credit to the other team.

Blaha covering MSU football games just can't keep up (like Brandstatter) and is a venomous homer.

Really a dichotomy.

I'm not scared to play Bama,…

I'm not scared to play Bama, but our chances of winning a national championship are infinitesimal to the point where the CFP is just window dressing. For example, if I was given the choice between locking in:

L vs PSU

W @ OSU

W in Indy

 

or letting the season just play out, I would 100% lock it in.

This Bama team might be the…

This Bama team might be the best college football team of all time, atleast in the modern era. They are blowing teams out of the game in the first quarter every single week. There's no way anyone is going to be able to beat that team as long as Tua is there.

We ain't beating Bama. Give…

We ain't beating Bama. Give me an OSU win and the Big Ten Championship so we can get the monkey off our back.

Yep! Trash program that…

Yep! Trash program that deserves no respect.

I presume this is Michigan…

I presume this is Michigan telling the network "No"?

No personal knowledge of…

No personal knowledge of what the arrangement would be. My assumption would be that they travel the night before since we can obviously afford it and it'd be easier to have the team prepared without the hour long drive tomorrow morning (assuming they don't run into gameday traffic)

Reading between the lines on…

Reading between the lines on the insider info:

Gary practiced all week. Today his handlers told him to sit out anyway, and thus he's sitting out. I would guess an insider post on 247 coincided with him not making the trip.

PFF is not quality of…

PFF is not quality of competition adjusted. 

Some media types are saying…

Some media types are saying on twitter that it would get Michigan in trouble because Tai Streets probably donated to the university at some point in his life.

It's very much a stretch.

The authors of articles don…

The authors of articles don't pick the titles. That's directly done by editors.

I had my appendectomy taken…

I had an open appendectomy about 7-8 years ago or so. I was walking fine the next day and just had some slight pain for a couple weeks.

He had the surgery in April, so it should have nothing to do with whatever is going on with him now 5 months later.

Michigan was a bad shooting…

Michigan was a bad shooting team last year and made the national championship...

7 or 8 wins. This team just…

7 or 8 wins. This team just doesn't have the consistency or O-Line play to navigate this schedule.

I am sure those…

I am sure those significantly worse recruiting classes will result in better players than we have now.

Is there any actual reason…

Is there any actual reason to have hope for this program? This will be Michigan’s best team for the next 3 years atleast and it looks like we are a 7-8 win team.

This program is just dead, man

Two separate posters on 24/7…

Two separate posters on 24/7 talking about it through different claimed sources and umbig11 saying cryptic stuff.

Unlikely to be false.

The rumor coming from OSU…

The rumor coming from OSU people has been that Warriner is the one that leaked the initial reports of this to the press. Not sure how valid of a rumor that is.

Hopefully O'Korn is not…

Hopefully O'Korn is not welcomed back. Harbaugh has become a national laughing stock for allowing him to play and how he's gonna publically take shots at him?

 

Snake.

You can only have 105…

You can only have 105 players in fall camp I believe. So, it's not uncommon where some walk ons are left out of fall camp and then invited back once the season starts. Maybe that?

Yep. You have to really look…

Yep. You have to really look hard at a situation to tell whether or not a player is highly coveted. Offers isn't a good enough metric

What's funny is that Brian…

What's funny is that Brian has the exact same take as Bluey/Maizen/ShawnL. But he's stayed quiet about it for a while so everyone forgot.

Btw, the date in the title…

Btw, the date in the title should be 6/15

Woops

Yes, the 2012 class was the…

Yes, the 2012 class was the first one to use the Common App. Applications skyrocketed then and have been increasing since.

End date has been set as…

End date has been set as July 3rd

The reason is because our…

The reason is because our userbase is full of a lot of people from Mgoblog who didn’t previously have reddit accounts. So we have lots of people with low stars due to not having karma/tenure. We got a HUGE spike in people participating once we started posting updates on here. Weirdly enough, we don’t get a ton of participation from Michigan fans who were already reddit users.

Your assumption was correct!…

Your assumption was correct! I think we just fixed it.

By the way, as of now we…

By the way, as of now we have the third most territories at behind Nebraska and Florida.

Realistically, there isn't much incentive for anyone to flip

Woah, it be white

Woah, it be white

Realistically Clemson is too

Realistically Clemson is too small to hurt us at this point. If they attacked us, we could theoretically wipe them in one turn. We're about 4-5 times larger in terms of army size.
