Let's go Blue! I'm six whiskeys deep and couldn't be happier. This is what I've been waiting for. My friends and even those on this board have called me a troll or foolish for thinking this is the year. NO. This is the year that changes the narrative. GO BLUE!
I have been called a troll for the past year. Accused of being a fan of other teams - all for believing THIS was our year. Screw Ohio, screw everything scarlet and gray. This team is TOUGHER than Ohio State.
This is where I am. Once we won on the road in Madison, I felt great about the rest of the season. Nothing to lose and everything to gain going against our chief rival. Cannot ask for more than that!
I'm with you OP. People have called me a troll since me saying this year was the year. I still believe and am proud of this team. Blown away by the leadership on this team. They are truly playing with an edge that I am happy to see!
Just more evidence that UM was jobbed out of a win against Sparty. It's amazing that NO ONE mentioned the conference talking about the refs making mistakes in the game for more than five minutes. It's bullshit, but we are still in an excellent position to control our own destiny.
Really do not see a weapon on that PSU offense outside of Dotson. Noah Cain has not looked good all season, their O-Line is weak, Clifford has been beat up. Give me the good guys.
They certainly may not pan out, but having two guys who are both 5* and the top two at their position is disgusting. Odds are at least one of them is the next Bosa or Young. If both of them develop the way recruiting insiders believe they will, we really do need to develop OL talent ASAP.
One player doesn't make a team but their entire class is a prime example of the rich getting richer. This makes me hate them so much more. Hope Harbaugh and his staff work every day to instill how important it is to be competitive in The Game moving forward. I'm sick of losing to those assholes.
This post is completely true, as I also experience this when working with clients where I live. Even when writing a letter to clearly explain mistakes made, along with providing documentation, it's a nightmare. Appealing to the IRS Office of Appeals is also a hugely time consuming and frustrating process.
Even when I disagreed with Ace, he was respectful with me. I've found that to be the case with Seth and others when interacting with them on this blog, as well. Best of luck, Ace - thanks for the contributions you made to this blog. Hope the current staff is working to pump out the same quality content you produced - particularly during basketball season!
I'm sick. I feel terrible for not just Bo's son, but for all victims of Dr. Anderson. I hope he is burning in hell, or receiving some sort of karmic justice. Yes, remove the statues - but work to remove (as much as possible) the stains left on this prestigious University by that disgusting human being and those who enabled him.
Read through the report, and saw that both she and the players claim everything was consensual. Was she offering free rub downs because they were football players - a service she would normally charge other clients for? Or, was she using the rub down as a means to potentially have sex with the players. If its the former, that's a violation. If it's the latter, nothing to see here.
Hard to share the contents of a press conference that had not happened yet. I would have been happy to update as details came out. Either way, I'll be sure not to use the dollar sign when referencing OSU. Does this same policy adhere to comments made with a $? If so, you have some work to do. Yikes.
Well this sucks. Good on Linguist for finding a HC opportunity, but man it stinks to lose a guy with NFL experience - and with no reported buyout on his contract.
Turning my focus to the baseball team. They're off to a good start after 15 games and are in good shape to challenge for a B1G Championship. Jimmy Obertop has been a monster so far! Plus, I'm proud of the basketball team and have been thoroughly impressed by Coach Howard!
I didn't post that they are all going to the NFL - I believe some will, and others will be lost to graduation. It seemed to be a foregone conclusion before the season that their DB Wade was gone after this year. Same thing with Wyatt Davis. They both opted out and then opted back in when it was announced the season would be played. Given the draft grades many of the underclassmen are getting, I believe it is reasonable that they leave.
They do "reload" on paper, but they certainly do not reload on production. They appear to be more beatable next season than they do this season or previously. I understand the past decade plus says otherwise, but it truly does appear that this team is heading in a new direction. I personally think that direction is a positive one and Michigan can challenge for the East again.
As you said, on offense there is a lot of hope. Our offense vs their defense - I like that match up.
When it comes to the whole "troll" thing - it's a lose/lose when accused. I'm certainly not one, and am proud to be a fan of this team; however, nothing I say will convince anyone. So, with that, I appreciate your reasonable response.
It appears you may be having some major personal issues which you are taking out on this board. Best of luck to you, your shrinking hairline, and your growing waistline.
Thanks man! I'm choosing to stay positive and optimistic about the next season. There has been way too much negativity on this board for a while. Granted, I've fed into that negativity. I just don't want to do that to myself any longer. I love this team, and I refuse to abandon my fandom. So, why not make the best of it and cheer for their success instead of focusing on their failures?
I think Harbaugh gets the message and the University hires excellent assistant coaches. The introduction of new schemes, returning starters, and new blood will be a good formula.
That's an odd claim. I guess you think I'm playing a long con here since I've been a member of this board for two years and a lurker for a bit longer? You say what you want to, I'll keep supporting this team.

I like this idea, and I have only heard of this in passing. Thank you for sharing - I will be sure to do the same.
Man! This is what I get for going to work and turning the game off when we were up.
Zeke Berry should be much higher. That young man will absolutely be a stud.
It just seems strange to me that someone is leaving after a year. No statement from Harbaugh. I just really wish he would put this whole thing to bed.
Not good at all. Does this mean the writing is on the wall regarding Harbaugh's future here?
Fair. Thank you for pointing this out.
Does anyone know why the word "lonely" shows up just below the banner at the top of the page? Here is a snippet of what I'm talking about.
EDIT: Apologies if I am putting this in the wrong place.
Every time I see this picture, it hurts.
Chris Mack is a shady dude. Was he also run out of Xavier or was that the Cincinnati basketball coach? I don't pay much attention...Obviously.
This is really odd. Then again, life is really odd. What else can you do but laugh at this point?
No crow here, but I'm up for drinking in those Buckeye tears!
Have faith, sir. Go Blue!
Say what you want. This game is OVER. I've been proven right ALL YEAR.
The game IS over. Are you watching? It's okay! Celebrate! GO BLUE!
Sir you called me a troll when I said this was our year. I'm sorry I responded as negatively as I did.
GO BLUE!

So proud of this team. One more quarter to glory!

GO BLUE AND SCREW OHIO!
The first of two OSU's to lose on consecutive days to us.
Cute, but that won't stop me from taking the good guys to not only cover but win outright. Tomorrow is the day. This is the year.
I have been called a troll for saying this was the year, so what is stopping me now?
UM - 36
OSU - 27
Never thought of this but excellent point. They have not been tested in a hostile environment. Time to protect A2!

Still standing by this prediction! GO BLUE!
PSU - 20
Really do…
UM - 33
PSU - 20

Welcome to the team! Looks like a big frame that will develop nicely into a TE the team can utilize in blocking or receiving roles!
Bingo.

Yeah but fuck Ohio State.

Understood, and thanks for the further explanation.

Thank you, and I appreciate this. It's just a message board, but you know, it would be nice to be positive for a change! Go Blue!

Imagine giving yourself an internet high five. Male pattern baldness AND being alone? I'm so sorry, sir.
It appears you may be having some major personal issues which you are taking out on this board. Best of luck to you, your shrinking hairline, and your growing waistline.
Usually, but then hope seems to spring eternal in the late summer and early fall again. I choose to be excited!

This is where I am, too. The talent is definitely there. I'm excited to see how the team manages the off season.
It's better than meth.
