Wisconsin / Coaching Reminder
Unfortunately, no one is getting fired and no one is resigning. This is a ridiculous year. I think we let the joy of football being back a few weeks ago cloud the realism of the situation — this year is just a gimmick / bonus year for everyone.

(except if we were 3-0; then it would be the most important season of all time)

This was worth a thread...
November 14th, 2020 at 1:05 PM ^
About to be five thousand of these in a few hours. Thought I’d get out on top.
November 14th, 2020 at 2:30 PM ^
In the good old days, you needed 1000 points to be able to post. Now the line is below 0.
Calling all mods !
November 14th, 2020 at 12:57 PM ^
This is a weak post for a Saturday morning. Go back to bed, and when you get up, try again.
You’re better than this.
November 14th, 2020 at 1:08 PM ^
Woke up at about 5:30 to head to a great morning sunrise walk at the arb. Just sick of what is coming at about 8:17 with all the fire harbaugh shit.
November 14th, 2020 at 1:38 PM ^
Actually don’t try again please.
November 14th, 2020 at 1:42 PM ^
What else was honestly happening on this board? Are you not entertained!?
November 14th, 2020 at 3:37 PM ^
Not really...
November 14th, 2020 at 2:57 PM ^
Fire Harbaugh!
We lost to MSU fergodsakes. Enough.
November 14th, 2020 at 12:59 PM ^
I like this thread. A bit of positivity to counter the stupidity.
November 14th, 2020 at 1:07 PM ^
Agree but how the hell did UM lose to this horrible Sparty team? Rocky Lombardi is just awful.
November 14th, 2020 at 1:27 PM ^
Both funny and frustrating to see how bad msu is. Three first half turnovers in very game except the most important one this year.
November 14th, 2020 at 2:41 PM ^
Because maybe college football is a game played by a bunch of teenagers and early twenty somethings, most of whom are taking full time classes and other obligations that prevent them from doing full time football, that is not always as predictable as we'd like to believe.
November 14th, 2020 at 6:00 PM ^
Right. And then think how inappropriate it is to have such a complex offense, and defense for that matter. Herein might lie Harbaughs problem. Look how complex this offense is and supposedly no plays yet has been shown yet for the OSU game.
There is complex, then there's overly complex... Better to hone fewer plays with repetition.
And this might explain why we lost MSU and PSU is winless, while lower teams are playing well. Smaller programs have less complexity in their plays and offense and are executing.
November 14th, 2020 at 1:07 PM ^
You really thought your stupid opinion warranted it’s own post???
November 14th, 2020 at 1:09 PM ^
Get a Saturday burner my bro. It does wonders.
November 14th, 2020 at 1:56 PM ^
While I completely agree, I just thought I would point out that your comment could be said in about 85% of the posts in this board and the internet generally. And it would be completely warranted and appropriate. +1 to you sir.
November 14th, 2020 at 1:10 PM ^
Another white knight coming to tell us no one is getting fired "because it's a pandemic".
Harbaugh wanted to play and we're playing.
November 14th, 2020 at 3:02 PM ^
Can’t wait to watch the team come out flat and uninspired tonight! The Hokebaugh Difference!
November 14th, 2020 at 1:12 PM ^
IU - 17
Staee - 0
November 14th, 2020 at 1:30 PM ^
....update still in 2Q:
IU - 24
'lil bro - 0
November 14th, 2020 at 1:36 PM ^
Transitive properties are real.
IU not bad
UM bad
MSU, also bad
PSU probably also bad
November 14th, 2020 at 1:12 PM ^
This was the wettest of fart threads. C'mon Granddaddy!
November 14th, 2020 at 1:16 PM ^
Penn State looking potentially winnable, perhaps, maybe...well who knows actually.
November 14th, 2020 at 1:40 PM ^
Both teams playing so much worse than I expected at start of the year. I could imagine either team blowing out the other one if they figure their shit out.
Assuming covid doesn't shut the season down before they play.
November 14th, 2020 at 1:16 PM ^
How about a reminder we could bring in Tom Allen, Mike Hart and Nick Sheridan next yr or the yr after.. Sprinkle in some passion and youth to the program. "Enthusiasm unknown to mankind" is what I'm seeing from Tom Allen right now not Harbaugh!!
November 14th, 2020 at 1:18 PM ^
I am jealous of your ability to still care. Apathy is here.
November 14th, 2020 at 2:45 PM ^
Tom Allen: good coach.
Tom Allen: Bad cultural fit for Michigan. Belongs to "Fellowship of Christian Athletes," which condemns homosexuality and premarital sex. Non-starter.
November 14th, 2020 at 3:52 PM ^
Ha! A new head coach is going to make any difference? Here, pull the other one! "Yeah, let's get Nick Sheridan involved in the offense again," said no Michigan fan ever!
November 14th, 2020 at 1:24 PM ^
Agreed. It's unfair UM is the only team having to deal with Covid. And, if some things went a different ways, but all the breaks UM got didn't change, things would be a lot different. So, UM is basically undefeated. Other teams better enjoy it while it lasts. Next season, in a post covid world, UM will be back to the well-oiled, disciplined, explosive, modern-offensive-having-attacking team it was pre-covid.
November 14th, 2020 at 1:27 PM ^
I like that we got the traditional bargaining thread out of the way about six hours before the game this time. This is progress towards developing a truly efficient way to navigate the Kubler-Ross stages of grief.
November 14th, 2020 at 1:30 PM ^
It was time. You’re welcome.
November 14th, 2020 at 1:30 PM ^
Here's another reminder before everyone gets their torches and pitchforks out of their sheds...

The time has come. Beilein had a nice run, but the team has lacked intensity and grit for far too long now. Not to mention a severe lack of athleticism. I think Beilein needs to ride off into the sunset and retire. It's time for a new direction. When you hire new assistants for specific purposes and you actually regress in those areas, the writing is on the wall. Thanks for your services Beilein. But your team is no longer watchable.
November 14th, 2020 at 1:37 PM ^
Hey guess what? Beilein had already taken us to a national championship by then...in his SIXTH year. And the basketball program was in worse shape than the football program.
November 14th, 2020 at 1:50 PM ^
Being overly forgiving is just as bad as being the mob. These coaches deserve criticism. No amount of "this season doesn't matter" should excuse them from that. And this season always mattered. Even if 2020 was always going to be a building block season because we were replacing too many players to win anything of substance. This doesn't seem like a team building towards anything right now. And that's a failure.
November 14th, 2020 at 1:55 PM ^
All Michigan 2020 games are exhibitions to prepare for 2021.....?
November 14th, 2020 at 1:56 PM ^
I'm going to start a thread titled "my very important thoughts on things." In it I will offer my very valuable insights on coaching, recruiting, play-calling and the state of our rivalry with OSU. You know, stuff that we never talk about and topics I wouldn't be able to comment on otherwise.
Then, about halftime I think I'll start a new and exciting thread titled "things I think about" or maybe "let me tell you what I think about things"
Because if I don't start a new thread everything I have a random thought how will the rest of you know what I'm thinking? And judging by our GameDay thread creation THAT is the most important thing of all.
November 14th, 2020 at 2:24 PM ^
A special place in Bolivia for you and this/these threads
November 14th, 2020 at 2:28 PM ^
Been there enough already.
November 14th, 2020 at 2:48 PM ^
Surprised Wisconsin is only favored by 6.5. Even with a shorthanded Wisconsin team this will be a blood bath. Wisconsin wins 56-6. Michigan won’t win another game this season.
November 14th, 2020 at 4:15 PM ^
Kinda like MSU was blood bath? Nothing would surprise me tonight.
November 14th, 2020 at 3:30 PM ^
“This year is just a gimmick.”
Yeah tell that to MSU fans. They will remind you until you’re in the grave that that was no gimmick year.
November 14th, 2020 at 3:54 PM ^
Something tells me Spartans fans will not be all that eager to bring up the 2020 season when it's over.
November 14th, 2020 at 3:55 PM ^
Functionally, this discussion thread seems to have filled the roll of Pre-Game BPONE Snowflake.
