I think you mean "dern" good coach.

I would love to see Nebraska win, but they have lost something like 29 of the last 31 games decided by less than 1 score.  That's gotta be brutal to the psyche of the players.

Yes but when they lose, I wonder if the criticism will be as strong.

Prime seemed almost vindictive in his comments after the game.  Generally the media will pounce when they see blood in the water which may be 3 potential losses in their next 4 games.

While, in theory I agree with you, reality says when I'm paying $200k for my kid's education there needs to be a monetary component to the equation.

Which may be the best part of NIL…

Post of the night

I disagree.  At least Michigan is in the conversation.  Imagine recruiting against Ohio State a year ago vs. now.  Sure we haven’t beat them since your parents were in school, but come here anyway vs we put it on them and we go to the playoffs.  

Much better place now.

Seems like a recipe for red stands.  Not a knock on you, seems like a reasonable take, but I guarantee the Bulldogs feel the same way.

Why do I feel like Iowa will be tougher than OSU?  Feels very odd to write, but the emotion and energy spent this week was tremendous.

Then on to Iowa who may be harder to run against and who will also try to force the run of their own.

in retrospect there is some lightning in a bottle in AA, this week will be the real test of this team.

I think they are up for it.

Same here, had never seen that.

I just want to see one with no OSU, Clemson, Bama and OU.  It could easily happen and most of the country is rooting for it.

I don’t think they are in if they lose.  They haven’t looked great, are no longer ranked #2 and there are other good options who have conference titles and less loses.

If they lose and there is chalk… UGA, UM, Cincy, OkSU and ND all have a chance.

It would be great to have new blood in the tourney and I think everyone feels that way.

I think there was a Gus Johnson hate thread earlier this year. :)  Like all announcers he loves a winner and Michigan is a winner.

Great post, thanks for the interesting info.

So you would rather Alabama be higher?  What does rivalry have to do with it?  GT is UGAs rival doesn’t mean they are a good rival but they blew them out as they should have.  Beating OSU was a rival, but also a good win.  In short, I don’t think Bama has looked very good this year and are clearly ranked so high because of the brand.

I don’t want to get into a debate about JH, there isn’t one, but it is amazing when seeing that there ever was one…

Great post.

Most things in here don't react too well to bullets.

Agreed, just beat a team that was 3-0 and now Michigan has a chance to go 5-0.

it wasn’t always pretty but it never will be.

Zach Charbonet isn’t having a bad day either.  2 tds vs LSU so far.

That was too easy but you still get credit!

I agree, I used to hate his broadcasts, but over time the total ridiculousness of it won me over.

plus… espn sucks, so it’s all that’s left.

Favored in before the game, seems silly in retrospect.

I don’t care enough to look it up, but who did he commit to?  That’s kind of the answer.

The MSU teams that beat OSU had lots of Ohio guys.  Totally agree, while OSU is looking national UM should raid Ohio.

But my life may be done before it happens at this rate.

So how did Hoke get the job?

Honestly we have no idea who they will lose other than early enrollees.  2020 isn’t forcing anyone out due to eligibility.  Scary thought.

They were sanctioned for like 3 years...

I don’t even need to look at 247 to know they have another 5* backup and probably one coming in next year.  They will be coached up by Day like Haskins was and they will be great.  I don’t need to know his name, his stats or anything about him but I’m sure he exists and there is probably a worthy backup. 

OSU recruits better than Clemson.  Alabama is by themselves.

Star limits placed on recruiting... LOL for so many reasons!

The alternative would be keeping people who underperform.  I'm not sure how you measure performance but assuming it is beating OSU he underperformed.

Don Brown has a hell of a track record.  If you take out the OSU disasters it's a resume most DC's would take.  I doubt he has a tough time finding another job.

Key words... “been to”.

Just imagine going to any game filled with people and no COVID

Hoke yes, but RichRod was a hot commodity whether he was choice one or not.

There are 2 ways of looking at it.  One is adapting vs. not the other is fitting your system to your talent.  Both need to happen but when Urban had Braxton Miller it was run run run, JT was somewhere in the middle, but in the same season Cardale Jones was airing it out.

There are many players on the Michigan bench that can play but need to be put in the right situation.

Rich Rod was the extreme example of not using existing talent.

The difference is OSU won’t overlook Michigan.  They will be at max power for Michigan and they will have started prepping for Michigan weeks before,  if Harbaugh wants to we he needs to do the same.

Love the idea.  If there are no bowls, or very few, this is much better than what would otherwise be an anticlimactic season's end.

I don't think there's been any movement towards playing for the PAC.  With everything going on out there right now I'm guessing football isn't the highest priority.

even a blind squirrel gets a nut

Nicely done.

By the end both will apply.

Macenblu - Sorry I need help understanding that.  Do you mean 10 day after their symptoms have gone away?  

What about people who are asymptomatic?

Thanks for the link

Real life is always better.

I concur doctor.

It sounds like you've given thought to this type of play.

Stop being rational.

This comment just sucks.

Call me crazy, but I have no desire to have black clad murderers lighting police stations on fire anywhere near me.

Yes they are terrorist and I’m glad you’re not affected but it doesn’t change the fact that they are violent anarchists.  

Any sane DA would have ended this long ago.
