Been watching since 1972 my son had a feeling about the 2021 game and we flew from California . It was his first time at the Big House the fans willed that team to win, the performance by Haskins and Hutchison. That was a great OSU team beaten beaten beaten. The 2022 game, and the two payoff games may round out the too 4 for me 

Exactly !!!!!!!!!! You be…

Exactly !!!!!!!!!! You be you but we got rights too. 

Bring back Beilein and…

Bring back Beilein and Harbaugh after he wins the SB in 3 years then all will be right in the world.

I am glad UM is a football…

I am glad UM is a football school. I would gladly take the title in football and last place in basketball every year. Keep Juwan, use all the BB NIL for football and only bring in basketball players that are only here to weight lift in preparation for joining the football team, make use of that scholarship. 

He didn’t show up well…

He didn’t show up well trying to keep Harbaugh he will never get over that. Now he has a zero tolerance policy on Howard who smacked another coach on National TV (even woody got fired for this) and now he squares up against another adult coach on his own staff? What does zero tolerance mean to Warde?

Too bad coach seems to be…

Too bad coach seems to be left on a deserted island, I’m sure Warde is lining up the full force of the Coast Guard to come to his rescue. JH at an all inclusive with a lei around his neck and umbrella drink in hand waving the staff over. 

Show me the person and I…

Show me the person and I will find you the crime. It’s the powers that rule the US makes sense every organization will follow suit

Maybe he should have been…

Maybe he should have been fired in 2020 but the AD and UM should have been more on his side in the scandals and done everything during  December to keep him. Like say anytime after OSU “we support coach Harbaugh 100% he said he didn’t lie about the cheeseburgers, he’s never lied to us so we believe him and regarding spygate ditto our coach did not know, could not have known what all 200 people under and around him do, and we are offering him a new contract to be the highest paid college coach in the history of college football because he’s earned it and with full immunity from the NCAA bastards because we believe”

I guess we will know soon how good of a recruiter, coach, and how much he is liked and respected by players in the next 30 days with the transfer portal opening for all UM players and recruits with JH exit,

Well, if true this seals the…

Well, if true this seals the "fire Ward" deal for me. This is the arrogance of UM, yes the school is bigger than one man, but only one coach can take 3-4 star talent and coach them to defeat 4-5 star talent 3 years in a row. A couple years ago the Braintrust on this site said we should settle for 9-10 win seasons. Time to prepare for it yet again. While OSU is spending $15 million plus on their players, the people in charge of negotiating JH contract thought they were negotiators and were going to do what? Save some money, prepare to look professional. Second thought,  just keep Ward, the school just proved they are fine with 9 wins

My theory is, if you play…

My theory is, if you play college for the money only, you are not going to be as passionate or play as tuff (want to run into the LB etc) play in snow, etc... and it proved accurate I believe w CJ. I hope the way UM is approaching NIL proves to be the right approach, pay the "players" let the prima donna's go elsewhere and get their $2.5 million dollar plus deals and play soft for themselves and not the team.

Good recall. I remember that…

Good recall. I remember that game. This TCU game had some of that game, some of the "trouble with the snap" type of "this never happens" stuff, two pick sixes??? trick play at the 2, me yelling at the TV on that one. I wasn't even recovered from that when the first pick six happened, then the bad call and I knew they would fumble (yelling at the TV again ""QB sneak don't hand off!!"") I didn't return to any sort of normal until late in the third quarter 41-38. 

My summary, this was the best Michigan team in many, many years, and one of the worst games in terms of vodoo type shit in forever as well. Unless Georgia kills TCU by 21 or more like we should have (4 tds plus or minus in that game) then we would have probably beaten Georgia as well in the final. Georgis the team that barely beat OSU, in Georgia.

I have been watching UM…

I have been watching UM since 1970, I think I have been able to see every game. This was the best UM team I believe, and the most yakity sak UM game of all time.

I knew when the punt against MSU was going to happen, told my son "THIS ISNT OVER!"

Watching UM v TCU, why run a trick play? Then by the time I calmed down, the worst call ever. I knew they were going to fumble on the half yard line of course after a bad call, the call should have QB sneak not a handoff under center. Told my son that was gonna happen before it happened. This team should have beat TCU by 21 and should have won this Monday. Funny thing happened on the way to the Championship, they didn't do what they did all year.

 

Good point but pretty sure…

Good point but pretty sure Broncos fans are no different. What frustrates JH current fan base is he isn’t really saying he’s not going can't blame fans given the impact last year and this on recruiting and team retention. If JH was committed to staying you would think he would come out this week and definitively state he UMs coach this year with zero caveats like he did last time he was asked. 

Why isn’t the Michigan brass…

Why isn’t the Michigan brass calling complete bullshit on this? Sure the staff was not prepared  and the Philly special should only be a sandwich but that call sealed it, I knew we were going to fumble I screamed QB sneak took me to 41-38 before I got over the first half but now JH and WM have to get pissed about the TD that wasn’t. 7 points there and we aren’t a panicked football team forcing throws etc and we lost by 6 come in WM get vocal. 

Are you sure you’re not an…

Are you sure you’re not an actuary? Nice work!! I thought I overdid watching the full TCU Texas game. After watching that game I see TCU as a less talented but harder working PSU and predict same score 41-17.

We played Penn St. Squashed them. 

Watched the Texas game…

Watched the Texas game. Texas was at home, 6-3 at the time one of the losses to Alabama close. Texas QB Ewers was not good, and receivers dropped 3-4 balls in the first half. Texas O had no rythym the entire game. TCU defense has a couple players on the line who look good 98 on the edge is strong and fast, Tomlinson the DB makes plays. The LBS are big 240-250lbs and look like old time Iowa LBs. Their base is 3-3-5, the LBS seem to all crash down straight ahead a lot,I  think our offense can play action that and kill them with the TEs mid range passing and run game.

Texas D looked pretty strong on the line couple 340lb NGs they did a great job pushing a weaker O line of TCU I think they had 3-4 sacks early on and swarmed Duggan. Duggan didn't seem to scary on escaping, he did have a couple designed runs that went well. TCU hit a Donovan Edwards type long run with everyone up. Watch the TCU kicker he likes to flop, got one or two big calls. Texas looked average and played poor and it was a close game anyway. Overall wasn't really impressed with TCU in that game.

I think Michigan overwhelms them by playing controlled and strong on the lines. I see this similar to PSU game, except maybe they hit an extra score with their tall WR Johnson UM 41-24

It's not about race sprry…

It's not about race sprry. The guy is a multi millionaire, has had a successful life and career, raised two successful sons, and needs to get his anger issues sorted out. It's called psychotherapy, put your past in the past, all of your past.

Personally, I believe it is…

Personally, I believe it is an issue. Juwan should really get help with his emotions. He is a coach and mentor he has to be held to a higher standard, by himself and the University. It's only a matter of time before he goes Woody Hayes on someone, again. The excuse that he is a competitor, other coaches do it is simply an excuse that isn't helpful.

There is something…

There is something fundamentally wrong w an athletic department that has revenues of $210,000,000 and expenses of $202,000,000. Title 9 in my opinion is flawed as well, I think things will get way worse for the AD before NIL gets figured out in a way that is competitive. I don’t have a lot of confidence in bureaucratic regimes to figure common sense stuff out, hope we don’t lose JH over having his hands tied behind his back next 2-3 years. Football should be separate budget all its own.

Probably most 2023 recruits already spent their NIL and can’t look elsewhere ask Tom VH he knows if he’s not too busy holding a bunch of dudes

I’d like to see UM NIL be for all starters basically like a salary. Like a team concept maybe the star players get a bonus but all get paid for getting and doing that job. Seems consistent w the type of young men JH seems to covet and do well for the team. Solid recruits may not get the car right off the bat but if they are confident and team players will play on a perennial CFP team, get a great diploma and will make 6 figures when starting

I picked up my dad in Lansing to bring to my home in San Diego, I almost jumped out of the train at somepoint! Bumping knees while eating off a little table, swinging side to side banging head on side of train while "sleeping", memories! I did stop a couple hours short of LA and had wife drive to pick us up. Some people love trains!

Got my son the aerial photo online of The Game 42-27 framed for his wall. He is 23, just got out of the USMC, promised him we would travel from SoCal to see a game one day when he was younger, but given the lack of confidence, we never went. Decided earlier this season, maybe, maybe. My wife got us both tickets for early Christmas and we gathered winter gear that we seriously lacked and traveled to AA. It was awesome. My son's comments before, during and after "second best experience of my life, second only to becoming a Marine".

IHME director says Omicron 10 times LESS severe than yearly flu. Maybe they should get flu shots and play the games!

what if said player wore two masks? Can the game be played in bubble boy suits?

IHME Director says Omicron…

IHME Director says Omicron variant about 10 times LESS severe than the yearly flu. I get this distracts us from high inflation, high gas prices, rising taxes, flood at the border, etc... but come on man, let's make decisions by following the science. Let them play but maybe they should get the flu shot not the booster.

Good questions. Not an…

Good questions. Not an expert, my wife works in a hospital, cases are up a little from barely existent, and no one is dying, this variation is less lethal and I believe we should treat it as such. By all means now follow the science.
