You know at first I was pissed about Harbaugh thinking about leaving for years then finally leaving, but the B10 was never going to stop going after him. They would have suspended him 5 games if he gave the team Vitamin D chewables. Who the fuck wants to deal with that every year? He went out on top with a big FU to the conference and possibly Warde. He's going to be under a little less stress now without the daily recruiting grind and constant turnover in college.
Not sure if thats a true story or not but that would be my sign to not play in a casino again. Thats probably why I've only been in a casino twice my entire life.
I would have been worried about placing a bet on that over/under 2.5 at that point. If Boston ties the game that was an automatic loss.
This is why I have never placed a bet more than $25. They were on Michigan vs Bama spread with a 33% boost, then NC game another $25 with another boost.
If I lost either of those bets I would have been more pissed about Michigan losing more than losing $25. If I was a serious gambler and bet more money than that then I'd have been mad all around.
Other than that I'll throw down $5 here and there for fun where I'm not going to lose sleep at night if I lose.
Thats exactly what it was. They started that back around 1999/2000 I believe. The preds were a new team and the Red Wings fans took over the arena and the preds fans didn't have anything original to start doing so they copied the octopus.
After seeing the video, it was kind of weird IMO but it was water. Looks like it was a commercial break and the crowd got a laugh. Not necessarily anything I'd have my daughter do but oh well. There's far worse happening with children right now.
Wait a minute... Iowa played 14 games. If they would have made it to the NC they would have played 16 games? How did they get an extra game? I guess they figured they wouldnt need a bye if they decided not to score any points for 3 of those games.
Glad you mentioned this. We all know Harbaugh is a great coach, but his nutty side most likely deterred many great recruits along with the annual offseason doubt if he was staying or going.
Still can't argue with a win streak over osu, 15-0, and a NC though.
Does anyone think Moore could end up with a monster 2025 class? I guess we will find out in the next year or two if Michigans recruiting struggles were more NIL related or the fact not all recruits meshed with Harbaughs quirky personality.
New coaching staff. Once recruits see Michigan hasnt dropped off and they build relationships with the coaching staff they'll be fine. Michigan has not paid 18 year old kids to come to Michigan and they sure as shit arent going to start now.
It looked like this thread went to hell in a hurry. Glad I missed the fun.
That said, we got starlink back in October and its been great. We live out in the middle of nowhere and went from AOL dialup to a slight upgrade with Hughesnet. Hughesnet was never great where we live but it got worse as time went on and offered no upgrades. If the ps3 or ps4 needed a game or system update you had to let it upload over night and sometimes for an entire day for it so complete. We couldnt stream anything on TV.
With starlink we havent had a problem with speed or having too many devices being used. It's pretty strong but like anything else I'm still concerned about the health hazards and frequencies of this kind of equipment so we keep the router on the far end of the house.
You know what sucks at this point is Moore is scrambling to hire coaches 2 months before Spring. He's just filling positions at this point with whoever is left. I think this football team is screwed this year and Moore is going to be the one people laugh and point the finger at. Its not even his fault.
If this team makes the playoffs it would be amazing.
It could be worse. We could be alabama fans right now where the best coach the last 15 years just retired without warning and they hire an outsider and lose several players to the portal.
So I know its going to be hard on everyone to not expect to see this team do great things like we were used to seeing the past 3 years but I'm going to really make myself be patient and realistic this season. They are going to lose games this year.
IMO the trolls are going to laugh at Michigan and say Moore sucks blah blah, but we will not know how good or bad Moore will be for another 3-4 years. Thats a long time but thats fair isnt it? Especially since Jim is raiding the damn cupboard on the way out.
Same here. Its been about 15 years since Ive been to a lions game, or any Detroit games in general. Of course being out of state makes that difficult to attend games. I think my emotional attachment to pro sports in faded about 8 years ago with kids getting older and being caught up with their sports and other life challenges. I still want Detroit teams to do well but I will never get mad or lose sleep when they lose.
I get a little bummed out when Michigan loses, but sports are out of my control so I just enjoy seeing my teams win and carry on with life.
What if he bet on himself to have under 5 catches and purposely dropped balls or ran wrong routes? If he did that against a cupcake team then winning the game wasn't in question.
I am a casual sports gambler and I'd bet there are players doing this right now. Maybe not this exact prop but there are several other bets you can place in a game that doesn't impact the score.
I dont know about Minter being HC but Michigan should do everything they can to keep Minter. All that money they were going to pay Harbaugh they need to give Minter a raise. Moore will already get one being HC.
Pay Minter even if its just for one more season. They need that elite defense to win games this season.
My .02 is that Jim would have probably stayed away from the NFL if the Big 10 didn't take a shit on him and Michigan backed him up when the team needed him the most.
He won the NC for himself and those players but it may be possible that Warde burned the bridge between them and thats why he's holding Michigan hostage with every day that goes by with uncertainty. I really do hope he wouldnt leave the team in shambles like Saban did to bama, and Jim will leave them in the best situation possible as far as having coaches in place. It's not like recruiting was one of their strengths but how bad will it get now? I see #15-25th ranked classes in the future.

This is true but not from 5 ounces of water.

Was it Colin Cowherd/Jim Harbaugh weird?
I dont remember Junior getting too amped up or celebrate after a big play. He seems like a reserved dude that just goes about his business.
Frank, that comment seems pretty damn accurate considering all the fuckery the NCAA has done to Harbaugh since he stepped foot in A2.
As great as it would have been to stay at Michigan this may take a ton of stress off of him.

How hats suddenly appear?
Just like birds.
Every time you are near.
Cryin Ryan is next.
Pete Rose just broke a window.
They played one bad half.
It also sounds like a law firm.
It's funny because it's true. Thanks for the laugh.

On the flip side there was a shit ton of sad suckeyes that Monday night.

He's retired, relax. Thats the best comparison though if you think about it.
Now imagine Datsyuk in a Hawks jersey and he came back to burn us like that. lol
It's +2.5 because the offense is one giant...

We all enjoyed 2021-2024, but theres nothing wrong with looking ahead to this season.
Put together a new staff in February with nobody available?
He will be putting a new staff together in December.

I refuse to watch the Kelce/Swift show.
I'll score watch on Draft Kings for bets and squares.
Stetson Bennett threw for 4100 yards and 27 TDs his final season at UGA. Thats not slinging it?
Carsen Beck just threw for 3900 and 24 TD his first year starting.
Michigan had a healthy Corum and Edwards though.

You cant make people stay. Money is not the answer for everybody.
Well so much for NFL players having their own personal trainers....

Oh shit. That feeling at halftime youre about to lose a lot of money because of something thats not in your control.
Could you imagine betting on yourself to score a TD when the entire offense is out of your hands? Or just as bad if you get hurt during that game?

Iowa played one bad half!
Oh shit, that was the other state.
I heard faction
What's your deal?

True, but psu and osu are loud as well.
I'll be honest, when I saw the thread title I thought Dan had a son named Cam that was probably hyped up for his future recruitment.
Ive seen crazier things here.
Washington will be like TCU was this past season. They are gutted now.
There can't be a revenge game feel for them if they have an entire new team and coach, so that game is not as scary as it could have been.
I'm glad my middle name doesnt start with S because my initials would have been ASS.
Dont care how stacked they are. Its every damn year.
Until Michigan isn't a top 3 defense I'm not going to worry about The Game much.
Michigan may not have an experienced QB this year so I can see it being like 2021 where they bully osu on the ground again.
