After the Amazon show, I lwas ooking even more forward to the Spring Game. Can we just fast foward to September?
April 11th, 2018 at 12:13 PM ^
Yeah! Who needs summer!? Let's fast forward to the next winter!
I'm kidding, I know what you were getting at.

Beat the Fig Things! We can't talk about beating OSU and Sparty until we beat the Fig Things!

Anyone know how weather factors into the NCAA limit on practice hours? I doubt Harbaugh would want to waste any one of his 15 practices. If he may only be able to get 1-2 hours of practice in during a 4 hour window, it's probably better they just practice indoors...
If your practice is in:
a. rain fall of .15 cm per tactum unit or
b. wind speed of 16 knots or
c. humidity above 14 quadrants per asswipe
your practice hours applied against the allotment is cut by 16.48%.

Yes, would have been nice to get a look at the OL and Shea, but...
Just be ready to smash ND!
April 11th, 2018 at 12:11 PM ^
NOOOOOOOO. I need more football.
April 11th, 2018 at 12:12 PM ^
Just as long as BTN still gets to televise the practice from Glick I don't give a shit
April 11th, 2018 at 12:13 PM ^
April 11th, 2018 at 12:20 PM ^
Cause of shit storm it would create but has there been any discussion here about Harbaugh being the only Michigan HC to not tweet congrats to Beilein after M won the B1G Championship and then him not attending the National Championship game cause he was too busy with spring football?
Edit: Early voting returns on my question reafirm my decision to not create a post on the subject was a good one. But can anybody answer if it was discussed? Is there a reason - it just seems odd.
April 11th, 2018 at 12:23 PM ^
No. And why should there be? Harbaugh was in up to his ears with Spring camp responsiilities. Do you think Beilein would give up a practice, or two, or a game, to go watch a football game in January? I don't...
As for tweeting anything, who cares. We know they spoke because Harbaugh said so on his Podcast. In fact, he got the whole story about Beilein's uncles being buried at Normandy. Your twitt bashing is unfounded...
April 11th, 2018 at 12:28 PM ^
I didnt "bash" anybody. I asked a question. I didnt put any color whatsoever around the question - I simply asked if it was discussed.
Appartently the answer is "this is not a topic the board can discuss so no, it has not."
April 11th, 2018 at 12:44 PM ^
Or maybe he just congratulated him in person, and didn't feel it was necessary to do so on Twitter also? You're overthinking this one.
What a radical idea.
April 11th, 2018 at 12:47 PM ^
Yeah but c'mon, we all know by now that if you don't do something via social media, it really doesn't count!

I said after the B1G championship game, not after the elite 8 game.
But I have my answer. No questions are allowed cause it creates way too much emotion to have a civil discourse on the subject.
Back to spring football........
You mean he doesn't? I hadn't heard about this.
April 11th, 2018 at 12:28 PM ^
^^^This.^^^
April 11th, 2018 at 12:28 PM ^
Literally back-to-back tweets about the basketball team, also had practice literally a few hours before the championship game.
Ridiculous comment.

Read what I said. I said after the B1G Championship game, not the elite 8 game.
Seriously - why does this simle question get everybody in an uproar? I offered no color, no opinion, nothing yet every response indicates my question was read as if I posted something negative when all I did was ask - was this discussed?
You guys are REALLY on a hair-trigger on this.
April 11th, 2018 at 12:42 PM ^
Because by asking that you're implying that it needs to be discussed because it's noteworthy for some reason and it's not. He's tweeted congrats to the basketball game on multiple occasions. He had an obligation on the day of the championship game: the thing we pay him millions of dollars to do. You know exactly why you raised the question, and I'm sick of the loony conspiracy theorists in the fanbase.
April 11th, 2018 at 12:52 PM ^
I asked because it was brought to my attention yesterday and I did not know of it until yesterday. Look, I dont give two shits if he even speaks to Beilein or not - I simply wanted to know if there was ever a discussion on the topic cause I didnt know about it until yesterday. My brother who lives in Michigan asked me if I knew why and even asked "did your buddies on MgoBlog talk about this at all?"
And please dont imply I'm some "loony conspiracy theorist" because I ask if a particular topic had been discussed here. You know me bettter than that.
I do have to tell you guys this little mini-thread definitely reinforces some of the negative comments about this place I've read recently. I'm a big boy and can take it but god help a newbie if they asked this - it would be the last time you'd see them here. I would get it if i had even hinted at something negative, I didnt. I didnt imply it, i didnt insinuate it, i did NOTHING but ask a simple question.
Save the attacks for when there actually is something said negaive instead of trying to read my mind on what I'm REALLY trying to say.
April 11th, 2018 at 12:46 PM ^
It was a stupid question that doesn't justify any discussion. Take your negs and learn from it.
April 11th, 2018 at 12:38 PM ^
If he had shown up, he would have received criticism for making himself the center of attention, for skipping out on his own team's practices, for not focusing on football, and almost inevitably for not reacting properly in some situation or another--because of course the cameras would have focused on him even more than they did on Sister Jean.
I don't blame him one bit for not showing up, and have a hard time understanding people who (implicitly) criticise him for making that choice. There certainly isn't anything "odd" about the choice he made.
Mr. Harbaugh has repeatedly expressed support (by showing up at games and also by supporting them on Twitter) for many of Michigan's sports teams, including the men's basketball team. If anybody wants to imply that he is not sufficiently supportive of Michigan men's basketball or Michigan hockey or whatever, fine...but they are wrong.

You're better than this.
April 11th, 2018 at 12:57 PM ^
And I think if you scroll through my posting history (and you definitely know how to do that Mr. Wolverine-in-a-Bag outer") then you''ll see 0.0% of my posts are such.
But thank GOD I didnt create a thread.
Not sure if you listen to Harbaugh's podcast, but he constantly sings Beilein's praises on there. He is having Beilein talk to the team and he invited Beilein and the basketball team to go to Paris with the football team. Doesn't sound like guys with an issue with each other.
I'm not sure what the point of your post was but if it is to imply that Harbaugh and Beilein have a problem with each other I think it has been overblown by people reading into certain things.
If I were to play arm chair pyschiatrist maybe Harbaugh kept a little distance because of Tom Crean and now that he is gone he is free to embrace the basketball team more.
Either way I don't think there is an issue between the 2 coaches. If your strictly asking about the tweet well I think that is a nothing and you should feel bad. That's like women getting upset on Facebook because someone didn't like their photo of their kid.

Anybody dumb enough to pick the freaking spring game as his "first big house experience" deserves what he gets IMO.
Tickets for the non-conference games are going REAL cheap.
You're just a barrel of fun tonight. Have a beer and take a break, mgrowold.

When will the spring game be moved to late April instead of early April? I know, there's always the opportunity for rain, but at least it will be warmer in the average year, right?
April 11th, 2018 at 12:23 PM ^
April 11th, 2018 at 12:24 PM ^
Negged for referring to that dude outside of a post by him. Its bad enough having to deal with his own posts.

didn't check with me, i'm still OK with it
