It did seem that way, in spite of Jones having been a turnstile in pass protection in previous seasons.  It was a nice surprise.

But with a year in the system already.

No.  Just no.

No.  Just no.  1) Tuttle and others have greater running ability.  2) We don't need a QB who pouts if he loses the starting job.

Penix did much better with UW than he did with UI.  Which is probably the same point in comparing Tuttle at UM with Tuttle at UI:  Forecasting his upside from how he looked at Indiana would be rather silly.

When did Harbaugh announce…

When did Harbaugh announce his departure?  When was Moore promoted to HC?  In the few days in between those events, how could you have had the situation "sorted out weeks ago before Sherrone is even named coach?"  UM could have waited weeks to sort out the situation before naming Moore as HC, and everyone here would have been wailing about players entering the transfer portal while the University dithered about who would lead the team next year.  Is that really what you preferred?

Add Gattis' departure for Miami (YTM) to the list of events contributing to Moore's being fast-tracked.

The thing is, it already did that.  And then neglected enforcement.

What does fixing NIL mean, short of resorting to improper inducement pay-for-play?

Fisch was good as OC, and it was amazing to see how many new plays the team ran well from week to week.  Durkin was good as DC, until injuries (Ojemudia and R. Glasgow) set back the D-line and he had a foot out the door at the end of the season.  Brown's onfield schemes did very well during his first couple of years as DC, but after that he was unable to limit big plays by tOSU's WRs and his interior D-line recruiting was atrocious.

Came across this Neck Sharpies from about three years ago, discussing the Ravens' defense.  Interesting to read Seth's explanation of the defense and his projection for players on the roster at that time.  Neck Sharpies: The Ravens 5-1-5 Defense

I believe Orji has to be at least a competent passer in order to be QB1.  He hasn't shown that ability yet.

But lots of people were writing the same sort of thing about a year ago.  Thank goodness he didn't leave at that time.

As the person to whom you replied said, "moving forward they don't have the luxury of just winning a weak division to make the B1G CG"  So your fwiw = eh, not much.

He was QB2 before he was injured.  Getting him back would be very reassuring for the offense.

A "signing bonus" is an improper inducement, at least as the NIL rules are written.  Imagine the NCAA adding that to its vendetta against Michigan and Harbaugh.

Transfer portal also filled some important positions, which alleviated the effect of missing on some recruits.

Tucker wasn't convicted of a crime, but he was appropriately fired by MSU.  For UM and Harbaugh, resolving the competing interests and reducing that resolution to writing isn't nearly as simple as just saying "can be fired only in the event of a criminal conviction."

"From Harbaugh's perspective…

"From Harbaugh's perspective, the school has already suspended him for the cheeseburger incident (i.e. the university believes Harbaugh committed some NCAA violation). "

Or maybe Harbaugh recognizes that the school knows the NCAA can be rather capricious, and the school self-imposed a penalty because the school then was able to choose having him miss 3 games that the team would win regardless of whether he was on the sideline for those game days.

Funny, but false.  MSU fired…

Funny, but false.  MSU fired Tucker for cause, avoiding having to pay the buyout (pending Tucker's legal challenge).

C'mon, you know better than…

C'mon, you know better than to look only at single-year revenue without considering expenses for that year.  Noted on mgoblue, for FY 2023, "the athletic department projects a slight operating surplus of $0.2 million based on operating revenues of $215.1 million and operating expenses of $214.9 million."  

That would be interesting. …

That would be interesting.  Before he was injured in the 2022 season, his weakness was pass protection against fast DEs--not good at all.  Seemed okay when he filled in at tackle after Barnhart slid over to guard because of Zinter's injury.  If Jones plays at guard, then he wouldn't have as many pass-protection issues he'd have to improve.

Fielding the punt would have been fine if he'd looked the ball into his hands rather than looking downfield at that moment.  IMHO.

"Even" the lawyers?  At last week's Association of American Law Schools conference, Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson was the plenary session speaker.  When asked for a prediction for the national championship game, she said, "Go Blue.  Of course."  (Someone in the audience responded by yelling "Go Huskies."  Boo that person.)

Rudock had a great second half of the 2015 season.  But I'd rather forget about the first half.

At some point in the game, the announcers said they were puzzled about Milroe choosing to slide short of the first down.  But I thought he was trying to make a cut and ended up slipping.

A suggestion in two parts:  1) Make revenue sharing with players a thing, and 2) make bowl game participation a part of it.  It won't entice top NFL prospects who are eligible for the draft--but it might influence others?
