It really is the off season.😂Highly doubt either Day or Harbaugh walk around with the intention of calling out one another.they are both busy.harbaugh i’m sure is getting ready for the draft and Day is in the middle of their spring practice.unless of course the reporter/interviewer sets the table for it.

Definitely sounds like Ryan Day had something to do with this😂😂😂

Downs is getting $900k. Top QB’s $1 mill-$4.8 million. Top defenders get around a million. In 2023 OSU paid $13.6 million in nil UM $11.6 million. Do the math. Shader Sanders got a whopping $4.7 million, Ewers $1.8,Arch Manning $2.8 million MHarrisonJr got $1.3million in nil in 2023.

In 2022 Michigan was #9 in NIL and #7 in 2023. Not a lot money separating #2-10. TAMU was #1 in 2022 and University of Texas #1 in 2023.In 2023 #3 OSU spent $13.6million and Michigan $11.6 @ #7. Texas went crazy in 2023 they spent over $19 million whereas the #2 team Alabama spent $15 million. Their backup,Manning is well over $2 million and Ewers gotta be pushing $2 million himself.

they were starters on the same DL at OSU.Vrable was a DE and Fickle was the nose guard.

maybe he wasn’t offered the DC position because of his possible exposure in the current ncaa investigations? i think it was twofold.warde wanted dome name recognition with the position and a veteran presence to help Moore grow into his HC position? I don’t think you want a whole staff growing into positions they have no experience in at all. that could be a disaster. i mean Moore was just a position coach five years ago with Central Michigan,not exactly a great resume up until his success here.

OP. What makes you think UM’s NIL effort was lackluster. In 2023 UM was #7 in NIL. OSU was #3 with 13.6 million total nil and UM @ 11.6 million. Texas 19 million was the clear  #1 with 19 million and Alabama @ #2 with 15 million.relationships between coaches and recruits is still very important imo.UM is easily in the top 10 of national brands and their NIL efforts should no different. I think the BIG 10 programs waded into nil very conservatively compared to the SEC schools that just went crazy. The big 10 I think has been waiting to see how it works first before going hard. Hence OSU’s going hard with the top  transfer portal guys. OSU fans have been complaining about their efforts as they have continued to lose out on several big recruits at the last minute to Georgia and Alabama the last couple of recruiting cycles. Michigan isn’t going to fall behind like most assume they are.

OP please explain the NIL…

OP please explain the NIL policy and how it lead to Gatlin choosing Oregon? Where and how did it fail? 

Other than you assuming the…

Other than you assuming the worst, what sources are there that OSU is paying players upfront? Are you aware michigan is one of the top schools for NIL compensation? In 2023 michigan paid its athletes $11.6 million,#7 in the country. OSU was #3 @ $13.4 million. So looking at those numbers wouldn’t it be safe to say that OSU isn’t doing anything different than michigan or anyone else?

It doesn’t hurt to point out…

It doesn’t hurt to point out the NIL compensation for 2023.(#7 nationally) Corum $1.2 million and McCarthy $879,000 for 2023

M-Dog, in 2023 #3 osu athletes received $13.4 million from NIL, #7 UM athletes received $11.6 million. Texas was #1 with $19 million. Love how people see someone post that UM is behind in NIL, repeat it and now that’s a false narrative @ MGOBLOG, lol Playing for a championship isn’t the only thing team #144 came back for. 

Amazing, I read the opposite…

Amazing, I read the opposite from MHJ which is even worse. That they didn’t see anything different than what they had prepared for and still couldn’t make the plays when they needed to. Imo that’s worse than being surprised. As a fan Michigan looked like they did all year. They played their game with the same scheme and the other teams had no answer for their physicality. Even down 2 OL for parts of the game.

Team #144 was $11.6 million

Team #144 was $11.6 million

Everyone is throwing nil…

Everyone is throwing nil money around. Michigan players want to get paid as they should like the rest of top ten schools. You would be naive to think nil wasn’t a part the motivation to come back and a chance at a natty.

Top 10 Schools in NIL 2023

1-Texas $19.9 million

2-Bama $16 million

3-OSU $13.6

4-USC $13.6

5-UGA $13.4

6-Colorado $12.3

7-Michigan $11.6 million

8-Oregon $11.6 million

9-FSU $10.1 million

10-PSU $9.9 million

 

 

Bama  has had 30 transfers…

Bama  has had 30 transfers after hiring one of the best available head coaches. There are always transfers when there’s a coaching change. When Urban Meyer took over OSU (a proven championship coach) OSU had 35+ transfers in his first 2 years. That was after the NCAA sanctions. With multiple NCAA investigations looming it could be worse I’m afraid.

My biz partner arrived in Houston yesterday. His family was well known around the program had a pharmacy in AA . Though painfully, I wished him good fortune and good luck. I believe they are doing a BBQ today. I told him he has to have a breakfast taco from a Stripes gas station before he leaves. Just about every gas station had at least breakfast tacos if not a full blown cantina. Like the cuban cafeteria’s in Miami on each corner.

You are aware that michigan was the #2 school for average NIL per player, right behind TAMU? OSU was #7.

I’ll be realistic. The Big10…

I’ll be realistic. The Big10 wasn’t that good this year including UM and OSU. I achieving stats against bad teams doesn’t mean a lot against the elite talent and coaching staffs come bowl season. I don’t see UM’s patchwork OL standing up to Bama’s elite defense. 27-17 Alabama then they destroy the winner of UT/UW. Alabama 31-6

he NCAA: There is no truth or evidence linking the PI Firm and Ryan Day in any way. They are not connected. Michigan Media and Fans: Say Less, we will build a conspiracy theory that will make us feel better even though we know its fake.

The ncaa said OSU had nothing at all to do with this investigation. But if it makes you feel better. You should direct your anger @ Stallions and whoever else knew what he was doing. And at Harbaugh for not doing his due diligence and hiring a guy with a 600 page manifesto. 

I believe it was in the…

I believe it was in the letter the Big10 sent to UM about forthcoming disciplinary action that they had irrefutable evidence of coordinated in person scouting scheme by a staff member,Stallions.And that others on staff knew what he was doing.  Do you really think they would go through all this trouble without a reason? This isn’t just bad for UM it’s a bad look for the whole conference. The last thing the Big10 wants to do is suspend one of their #1 brands in the country. 

Earlier in the week…

Earlier in the week Wednesday,UM asked for another day to prepare their response. Otherwise the Big10 would have announced on Thursday.

  I’m surprised of the…

  I’m surprised of the reaction of um fans about this. He’s only suspended for the games. If this team is as good as everyone thinks around here, and um destroys their last 2 opponents an intern could walk the sidelines pretending to be the HC. 
   What blows me away is that some um fans really believe that the ncaa and the Big10 are conspiring with OSU and others to destroy one of their biggest brands and cash cows. What in the world are y’all smoking? What would the Big10 have to gain by hurting one of its biggest brands? The NCAA has come out and stated that OSU and Ryan Day had absolutely nothing to do with this. The Big10 also stated that there is no evidence at all that other teams were sharing UM’s signs or running a in person scouting operations. The ncaa did however state that they have irrefutable evidence that a um staffer(Conor Stalions) was running an elaborate in person scouting operation to figure out its future opponents signs. And that other staff members knew all about it. What reason would a lowly recruiting analyst have to be on the sidelines interacting with UM’s offensive and defensive coordinators? If Harbaugh didn’t know what was going on in his program shame on him.He’s the head coach he’s supposed to make sure his staff is doing what they are supposed to be doing. He’s the lord and protector of UM’s football program. 
    

where are you coming up with…

where are you coming up with this nonsense? first it was Ryan Day that hired the pr firm that informed the ncaa. causing death threats to the day family from unhinged fans. now osu is working hand in hand with the ncaa to get rid of harbaugh. lol some of you need to get a grip on reality. why would the ncaa work with a member against another member? that’s some real tin foil hat stuff. listen to yourselves,some of  you sound like lunatics. 

wow that was easy. all a…

wow that was easy. all a coach/staff member has to do is at they acted alone.why didn’t they ask two weeks ago lol

I haven’t once heard OSU…

I haven’t once heard OSU other than the planned games CS was to scout? Who said OSU turned UM in? Where is the info that says OSU was doing in person scouting like CS? Some here are confusing stealing signs in real time during games with a concerted effort to video your opponents signs in person in games preceding your matchup? Big difference according to the ncaa rules. About the accessed drives. Haven’t their been  coaches let go the last couple years sharing their hard drives? Isn’t that possible? Getting fired isn’t pleasant especially for egomaniac coaches. 
   I have one question? Why not use CS salary and reimbursements to just recruit better players? Unfortunately this all coincides with Harbaugh and UM’s drastic turnaround from 2020. And vs OSU of which Harbaugh was 0-5.

Yea right. Please it’s a big advantage knowing what’s coming. Let him put his money where his mouth is and signal the other team what he’s running.

yes they were born in the same hospital.watched some of the game and Bear was pretty spot on except the score.pretty boring game as nebraska was totally outmatched everywhere. braska may be as bad as indiana and illinois. other than the big 3 the BIG 10 conference 4th best conference. can’t imagine how boring Indiana @ Nebraska would be.i’d enjoy watching my sour diesel plants grow more than watching that game lol

I’m a roofing contractor in…

I’m a roofing contractor in Florida. Before taking the state test for the license my first 17 years was as a foreman running large commercial flat roof jobs,the last 7 a manufacturers rep. In my day hot asphalt was about 70% of the market. For 2 years I swung the mop. About 80#s of 450 degree liquid asphalt. I would sometimes swing the mop for a solid 9 hours with temperatures around 90 and humidity in the 60’s in the summer. There were days my whole body would cramp. From advice from an old timer I started eating a banana every morning and drank a 32 oz Gatorade on the way to the job. That really helped, only cramped up 1 day out of 10. Throughout the day I would drink Gatorade,the powder mix in our coolers. At night another 32 oz Gatorade and 4-6 oz of pickle juice(along with a couple beers of course.
    I haven’t physically worked years but in a supervisory capacity. It’s been brutally hot in south Florida this summer and from just being on the roof within 15 minutes I’m soaking wet with sweat. I drink way too much Red Bull which is the worst thing btw,next to monster. OSHA actually calls out Monster specifically in their training on hydration. I still eat a banana every day and drink pickle juice at night. Been doing this for years and only cram up occasionally. I think the most important thing is to be fully hydrated before the activity. Once you are dehydrated it’s very difficult to nearly impossible to rehydrate in real time.

they say oscar robertson would have averaged a triple double for 3 of his seasons in his prime and would of easily led the league from the 3. Bird,magic,mj,russell and you still have jabbar and chamberlain. i gotta give my vote to chamberlain for goat. he averaged 50+ points a game for an entire season for god sakes and scored a 100 in a game without 3 pointers. lol. he would be just as unstoppable today as he was then. what center could guard him today ?his only shortcoming, couldn’t shoot FT’s to save his life.

was a big celtic fan after the phoenix series 75 i think.didn’t realize he was as big a part of the civil rights movement.to his credit,more man than me,he didn’t hold ill will towards his community despite its abhorrent behavior ti him and his family.their 8 championships in a row will never be equaled,ever. despite philly and LA with Chamberlain, Russell always found a way to win. the only other team that came close to them was the 86 Celtics with Bill Walton coming off the bench and the 85 Lakers imo. lost all interest in the NBA after Reggie Lewis died, and of course Lenny Bias who would of been the celtics answer to Magic early 80’s. imagine Bird,Mchale,Parish,Ainge and Bias, with dennis johnson coming off the bench lol.

um is #2 in the country for average NIL dollars per player. it’s not nil that is the problem it’s just harbaugh isn’t consistently good @ recruiting. some of your classes have had 0 top 100 players where most of your game changers are. to me that’s just lazy recruiting especially @ a top national brand like UM. yet the last 2 years UM has been in the national conversation. he’s gotta recruit better to do that every year like bama,uga and osu are doing.

read the other day it found its first exoplanet.i got really into astronomy. bought a 12” dobsonian last year. i can almost see the different colors of jupiters atmosphere. need to either buy a adapter for my iphone or ipad to really get great shots.a camera makes all the difference as it is all about collecting light.some pics i see on you tube with smaller telescopes look amazing almost as good as nasa pics.

To be fair, Duggan also made some really great throws vs UM. They play he hit the receiver/back in the flats for the last TD during a jailhouse blitz by UM was incredible imo as he scrambled. Too many mistakes by UM. And they didn’t respect their opponent. 

Yes it happens at other…

Yes it happens at other schools, and UM isn’t any different. At least won’t hear anymore of the michigan does it right and everyone else cheats.

At least the fan base can…

At least the fan base can quit with michigan doesn’t knowingly break the rules like they chastise everyone else for. 

UM self reported the level 2…

UM self reported the level 2 recruiting violations and self imposed restrictions for said recruiter. It has nothing to do with the level of violations it’s the affidavit every coach signs before the season begins that they have no knowledge of any ncaa violations. Or he just flat out lied to ncaa after they started the investigation. The only one that bothers me is hiding a nfl level Coach on the sidelines as a analyst. That’s is definitely a competitive advantage.

Believe or not a lot good players come from Alabama, with their population growth the last 10-20 years.

Man ball isn’t going to win…

Man ball isn’t going to win in the playoffs vs the sec, they are just too talented. UM should of been developing the passing game along with the running game. Exactly why they fell behind 21-9. I don’t know why OC’s love getting cute in the red zone,that’s where you pound the ball imo. And UM doesn’t fall behind in the 1st half that bad. 

Harbaughs record vs OSU isn…

Harbaughs record vs OSU isn’t any better than Day’s vs UM.UM totally overlooked TCU imo. And it started with the fans and the media. Most only talked how great the teams and the turnaround by Harbaugh, not a lot of conversations about TCU. Players do read sport sites and SM. It has a way of trickling down to the team. OSU on the other hand wasn’t given a chance by anyone.UGA probably wouldn’t want to play OSU again. OSU lost 2 years of defensive development from a terrible hire for DC.

Wins over FCS opponents do not count, at least that’s what the committee said in the first year.
