Why does everyone keep saying Bama was hot at the end of the year when they squeeked by Auburn with a 4 and 31 miracle in their penultimate game?
December 9th, 2023 at 4:35 PM ^
Because they blew out that powerhouse of the FCS, the Chattanooga Mocs, the Saturday before they faced Auburn...
December 9th, 2023 at 4:46 PM ^
More jaded version: At what point during the Iron Bowl did Sankey call the Auburn sideline to put the fix in?
December 10th, 2023 at 3:11 AM ^
Because they were losing and playing even worse than close loss/nail biters earlier on. They’ve gelled a little but are still far from the vaunted Bama we all know. It’s gonna be a hard game - hardest of the year - but it’s going to take a helluva game by Bama to beat this team. Just judging from their previous endeavors - they ARE getting noticeably better though and have 5* at almost every spot in the 2 deep. Absurd.
December 9th, 2023 at 3:48 PM ^
We getting any of those A&M guys or what?
I have seen some people talk about Corum regressing a bit this year. What do you think? Downgrade in the OL? Fewer carries? Scheme issue?
why hockey no play defense?
December 10th, 2023 at 10:19 AM ^
Why bball no play at all in last minute?

What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen Swallow?
December 9th, 2023 at 7:27 PM ^
I thought the answer to the ultimate question to life, the universe and everything, was 42
December 9th, 2023 at 7:37 PM ^
It used to be. Now it's 42.27
December 9th, 2023 at 3:57 PM ^
African or European?
December 9th, 2023 at 4:44 PM ^
How do you know so much about swallows?
December 9th, 2023 at 6:22 PM ^
You have to know these things when you're a king.
December 10th, 2023 at 7:44 AM ^
Love me some Monty Python!!!...lol
December 9th, 2023 at 3:53 PM ^
Why do you think the running game has significantly regressed this year? Do you think there are schematic changes we can make in the playoff besides running a healthy JJ more?
December 9th, 2023 at 3:56 PM ^
Does Michigan really have dirt on Ohio State and if they do when will they go after them?
December 10th, 2023 at 11:22 AM ^
M already went after them on 11/25
December 9th, 2023 at 3:56 PM ^
What are the most likely outcomes for Sherrone Moore's immediate or near future job?
There had been a lot of talk even before the Harbaugh suspension that he was going to be a candidate for head coaching positions, but so far I don't think we've really heard his name connected with any openings.
What schools would want him, if any? Which jobs would he consider? Is being the CFP making him less likely to leave right now? Is he waiting to see what happens with Harbaugh? Would Michigan make him the coach if Harbaugh left next year? Would Moore stay long term as a "coach in waiting" if Harbaugh stays?
What's going to happen?!
December 9th, 2023 at 3:57 PM ^
Michigan only really saw one truly mobile and high variance QB (Tata) this season, and seemed content to let him roll the dice with our coverage. He rolled a couple 20's, but ultimately, he made enough mistakes for UM to hold on.
Jalen Milroe seems like Tata, but built like Vince Young. Do you think UM stays in it's bend/don't break defense for this one, or risk putting pressure or spies on him?
December 9th, 2023 at 5:22 PM ^
The Maryland QB seems like a guy who is a much better passer than Milroe
December 9th, 2023 at 6:25 PM ^
Haven't watched a lot of Milroe but that stats don't bear that out. Taulia was capable of being good at times, but was inconsistent and had a lot of bad interceptions over his career.
December 9th, 2023 at 7:54 PM ^
I got the sense watching Bama that Milroe does not read defenses very quickly. If you give him forever to throw, like Auburn did on 4th down, he can find someone. If you can get to him fairly quickly, you can get him to bring his eyes down and bail. Probably need to spy him due to his athleticism.
December 10th, 2023 at 10:54 AM ^
This. I watched the Georgia game and it was clear he doesn't make decisions quickly. His offensive line was giving him a lot of time to work and he had success because of it. D-Line play will be absolutely critical in this game.
December 9th, 2023 at 9:08 PM ^
+1 for d20 reference.
December 9th, 2023 at 3:58 PM ^
Ohtani just got $700 million. Can I have some?
December 9th, 2023 at 4:45 PM ^
On a related note, who is happier about the Ohtani contract, Shohei or Gavin Newsome, given CA's 12.3% top marginal tax rate?
December 9th, 2023 at 6:36 PM ^
Given CA's projected budget deficit for the next fiscal year ($68B) --- the Governor needs 7,897 more Ohtanis to truly solve his problem.
December 10th, 2023 at 12:40 AM ^
Just ask Feds for more money. that is what other states do when they have little or no income tax.
December 10th, 2023 at 7:48 AM ^
Florida doesn't seem to have a problem.... and they have a surplus....just sayin'....
December 10th, 2023 at 8:57 PM ^
1/3 of Florida's last budget was made up of federal dollars from Covid-related packages. So, try again.
December 11th, 2023 at 4:11 PM ^
Oh and all of the other states(including Cali) received nothing from Covid /s- Florida just spends it wisely.... So, you try again
December 9th, 2023 at 4:01 PM ^
Imagine you're the OC for Michigan with the QB room Michigan will have next year.
Imagine further you have this unique ability to instantly craft a different offensive scheme around each QB with the wave of a hand ... this QB has one schematic emphasis; this other QB a different one, etc.
Question: what primary offensive structure would you wrap around each of Michigan's QBs, given what you know about that QB's strengths and weaknesses?
December 9th, 2023 at 4:02 PM ^
Alex;
What is going to be done with conference championship games and bowl season? It is already broken now before Playoff expansion, nobody wants these ridiculous bowl games and conference title games are not going to make any sense at all. Do you think the Playoff expansion will usher in an entirely different college “post-season” than we have now in addition to the Playoff changes?
December 10th, 2023 at 12:42 AM ^
I sure hope he picks your question. I love bowl games and I do my best to watch everyone of them. There is only so much Football in a year.
December 9th, 2023 at 4:10 PM ^
Who are the most realistic transfer portal targets to head to Ann Arbor?
December 10th, 2023 at 10:58 AM ^
I got the sense that Maliq Carr was "processed" during his recruitment. If that's true, it is near impossible for him to come to Michigan.
December 9th, 2023 at 4:14 PM ^
How many transfer guys do you see us getting and maybe what positions they might be the targeting
December 9th, 2023 at 4:19 PM ^
What happened to Edwards being used in the passing game ? Why would you not exploit defenses with his speed and getting mismatches in space ?
December 9th, 2023 at 4:32 PM ^
How much is Nick Saban paid for the AFLAC commercials?
December 9th, 2023 at 5:06 PM ^

Michigan has struggled to run the ball of late, against a pretty solid bama defense how do you see Michigan getting their running game hitting and hitting early?
December 9th, 2023 at 6:35 PM ^
Get outside the tackles... but that's just me.
December 9th, 2023 at 4:37 PM ^
How would a theoretical ‘super conference’ affect the P5 cast-offs and mid-major conferences? How would the fan experience evolve for season-ticket holders and television audiences among the premier programs?
I’m concerned about the directional Us losing $3-8MM annual payouts earned from non-conference games. I don’t know if there is enough alumni interest to continue TV contracts.
Furthermore, could student-athletes play a full gauntlet of Texas/Alabama/George 11-12 weeks in a row? I imagine there would be a lot of parity.
December 9th, 2023 at 4:43 PM ^
Is there any update on the players who were nicked up at the end of the season? Will everyone be at / near 100%?
December 9th, 2023 at 4:46 PM ^
Given our current offensive philosophy/style of play, what is the best case scenario of how Michigan might take advantage of Alex Orji’s talent in 2024 and will that be enough to keep him from going to the portal?
December 9th, 2023 at 4:47 PM ^
Where are things trending in the Partridge replacement?
December 9th, 2023 at 4:51 PM ^
What happened to our offensive line? Even before the injury to Zinter, they were less impressive than last year or the year before. You watch the 3 peat highlights of tosu game and we just blow them off the line of scrimmage, opening up gaping holes for haskings/corum/edwards. Now, small holes or none at all. I think the regression of the offensive line explains a lot of the last 4 games as does the improvement of the defensive line.

When Dave Brandon was AD he was going to do something about Cliff Keen Arena. Since he left I’ve heard nothing about a new arena or updating the current arena.
Is volleyball, wrestling and men’s gymnastics ever going to get an upgrade?
