Doubtful. B1G has a stipulation in its rules for this year that states if the season finishes with the average games per team at 6.49 or less, the 6 game requirement is null and any team with at least 4 games would be eligible for the B1G championship. League average is 5.14 games per team right now and falling fast. However, this might knock OSU out of CFP consideration. But if OSU stays idle for the next 2 weeks and games keep getting cancelled league wide, they're in the B1G Championship game at the very least.
I have a great idea. You could hire recruits’ parents and coaches without interviewing any other candidates to work “jobs” for Jim Harbaugh! Oh wait....
I get funneling money through Partidge (who was fresh off getting his Rutgers job offer rescinded for ethics) to get Peppers and Gary...but paying 6 figure salaries to the Lyons and Johnson families? Wtf. It’s not that Michigan doesn’t cheat... they’re just really bad at it lol
Fab 5 banners in a desk drawer right now for cheating, Harbaugh’s first 3 years spent creating 6 figure “jobs” for recruits parents and coaches that no one else was interviewed for, Blazer testifying under oath he gave money to Michigan players, Brandon and Hoke hiding Gibbons rape arrest for his entire eligibility....but oh gee golly, we don’t cheat in Ann Arbor and the only thing we offer recruits is wings on the helmet and the love of the Holy Spirit.
Gene must have consulted for Michigan then. No way the UM Athletic department was smart enough to bury the Brendan Gibbons arrest for 4 years and sweep the Blazer testimony under the rug on their own. I'm sure Gary's mom reported directly to Gene for her "job" at UM as well. Really genius stuff tbh. Well done.
logged in for the first time in ages to say although i have tempered expectations for this years team as well, BuckeyeBacker99 is not a fucking insider by any stretch of anyone's imagination lol. It would be like me starting a thread on 11W saying "Noted Michigan insider Maizen....."
Ole Miss contested Shea's waiver. Georgia did not contest Fields'. Michigan took almost 2 months to file the required paperwork. Ohio State filed the day Fields transferred. Ole Miss was the main reason Shea had to wait so long though. If Georgia would have fought like Ole Miss, this would have dragged out in the same fashion.
Not the content. You guys have a super passionate, knowledgeable fanbase and a lot of these posts are extremely well written. But Jesus Christ I feel like this site was designed as a fucking high school project. You guys deserve better than this. I almost want to start a GoFund me for you. No one should have to consume CFB content in an AOL chatroom format. Fuck this is bad lol
To UM, 9 million a year is nothing...but as a public relations point, it's everything. The money is the reason your recruits and their families are waking up to national media articles and stories that Jim Harbaugh is overrated. The Jim Harbaugh hire was an emotional hire, but a good one. If Michigan would have paid Harbaugh for what he was, a damn good football coach with tons of promise and a cultural impact that has gotten extremely close but has never been able to fully get the job done as of yet, there wouldn't be such a negative national narrative around the Michigan program right now. But Michigan paid him like he was Nick Saban. That understandably comes with some conditions.you don't pay that kind of money for 10 win seasons. The best analogy I can think of is imagine you needed your roof fixed and I was the most expensive guy in town and you hired me...but then you found out other guys were getting roofs done faster and more efficiently than I did. You'd be pissed and the reason you'd be pissed was the money. BUT this leaves Harbaugh with an absolute golden opportunity. Take a pay cut. Would be the absolute best PR move in CFB history. He could use the "Michigan Man" narrative and say that he hasn't earned the money and that at Michigan you have to earn everything you get. That team would be ready to run through a brick wall for him and I think it would totally neutralize the totally irrational fan expectations that come along with a 9 mil a year salary. As an Ohio State fan, I would not want to face a Michigan team if Harbaugh took a pay cut and started getting hungry instead of the obvious mutual disdain the fan base and Jim mutually seem to have for each other at this point.

They wouldn't clear Mathis to enroll early. Dwan would have had to get his grades up and come in later. Fields is def still in play
OSU would not clear him academically to enroll early. (Hard to believe I know)
Georgia...uh uh....found a way *Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park voice*
"We’re all aware of the program turn-arounds at Stanford and San Francisco."
Call me old school but in my book a program turn-around ends in a championship.
Have you skipped this season? Also Robert Smith? Pre-injury Beanie Wells? Keith Byars? Healthy Carlos Hyde?
