The fact he let Hutchins…

The fact he let Hutchins leave is enough in my book, fire him!

It’s a great place, but I’m…

It’s a great place, but I’m not sure my kids would want to go to a giant cemetery.

Madmat, thank you. I read…

Madmat, thank you. I read your entire post to my wife and we are looking at maps.

That’s moving. Thank you. My…

That’s moving. Thank you. My children have direct ancestors who fought on both sides at Antietam, including my great3 grandfather who was in the 24th MI in the Iron Brigade. So I’m leaning toward going there. 

Indeed, but we spend…

Hensons: Indeed, but we spend Thanksgiving in Philadelphia every year so valley forge and Trenton have been checked off. And my half-drunk, Friday-night edgelord bullshit does not apply to the threads I start. No one should take that seriously.

Points? Who gives a shit…

Points? Who gives a shit about points? I’ve been to Bolivia so many times I have citizenship.

I’ve also got “user name checks out” more than 19000 times. 

Dickfasterdly, the last…

Dickfasterdly, the last place she would want to go is the US as our country is rated behind basically all European countries including England. If she wants an upgrade, Sweden is number one, UK is 9, US isn’t even in the top 10

Cant be the coach so the…

Cant be the coach so the player gets the stiletto between the ribs. 

I feel bad for anyone with…

I feel bad for anyone with cancer and their families. That said, we are Americans and my Irish grandparents would roll in their graves if I had any tears to shed over that collection of racist, pederast, colonialist gangsters. 
 

the Royal family should be abolished, their property seized and shared among the descendants of the millions and millions of people they enslaved, subjugated and disenfranchised. 
 

fuck cancer yes, but the British royal family rivals cancer in the amount of suffering inflicted on humanity.

God Minnesota must really…

God Minnesota must really hate us

In my hockey beer league, I was once traded for 2 tins of Kodiak

This guy sat in one meeting with Chip Kelly and said “ima better be going”

Dude is a robot built to play QB in the NFL

One of Tuttle or Orji transfers man, look around you

Oh so now he learns to …

Oh so now he learns to “scale back” his wandering? Cool. I’m happy for him.

People here freaking out…

People here freaking out like we went 4-8 last year.

I tend to agree that Warde…

I tend to agree that Warde isn’t a great fit, but this place has lost its mind. Warde looks like genius to most people who are not posters with brain worms for his handling of Harbaugh in 2020. Maybe Santa replaces him, but Michigan generally does not operate fast unless you all want to meet with about 5000 others on a certain lawn on South U.

Aside from all the keyboard…

Aside from all the keyboard jockey nerds on this board, Warde looks like the best AD in America for the Harbaugh contract from 2020. He ain’t going nowhere unless and until things go south for several years. You and I don’t have to like it, you better get used to it. 

Harbaugh on his first…

Harbaugh on his first contract didn’t work out as well as we hoped. One can argue his second contract was a non-splash hire that did work out

Old if the flag has fringe.

Only if the flag has fringe.

I’m not sure that’s true…

I’m not sure that’s true. Unlike OSU and SEC schools, UM boosters aren’t really used to this world of the bag. It’s good we won this year because it will be a while before we get good at this.

As much as we all love our…

As much as we all love our old barn, we desperately need a new hockey facility. A 100 year old basketball arena isn’t really a great facility for 2024.

It’s more ephemeral in…

It’s more ephemeral in football than basketball. In basketball, it’s easy Duke, Kansas, UNC and Kentucky. There’s the was/close of UCLA, UCONN, UL and Villanova. To be a Blueblood, you have to be here now, but also always have been there.

I dont think the gold pants…

I dont think the gold pants are the type to go in the closet but otherwise correct.

i choose to pull for Nico Collins, but this game is going to be high scoring.

How bout them Cowboys!?!

How bout them Cowboys!?!

These people literally don’t…

These people don’t care. They are happy you are still thinking and talking about them. Move on, you are letting them live in your head rent free. 
 

I care so little about Reese Davis that I can’t tell the difference between him and Chris Fowler.

Enjoy Facebook!

Enjoy Facebook!

Arizona a little short…

Arizona a little short recently since they had a labradoodle as their accountant for the past 5 years.

It’s particularly good if…

It’s particularly good if you don’t own property like students usually don’t. I’ve seen a few clients get excited for no income taxes only to see it evened out by higher property taxes, insurance, sales tax and personal taxes.  If you make 7 or 8 figures, it works out well. If you are average it can be a wash.

Kinda like Jeff’s…

Kinda like Jed’s unapologetic mercenary attitude.

You people need to stop with…

You people need to stop with Warde. He is NEVER going anywhere. He will be the AD until he is 90.  He will get zero blowback if Harbaugh leaves. As of Monday he looks like a frickin genius to everyone not on this blog. I get it, but no one who has any level of influence cares even a little and will name buildings after Warde because of the 2021 contract. Winners get to write history.

 

How does the Huracan handle…

How does the Huracan handle snow? One potential reason UM is trailing in NIL is our millionaires are smart enough with their money to realize giving it to a 21 year old is a bad investment. At least if you give it to the Athletic Department they name something after you.

Not as cool to say I donated the David L. And Sarah Smith family AP Royal Oak with aftermarket diamonds to Shadure Sanders.

That doesn’t say much good…

That doesn’t say much good about the QB coaching if Orji’s mechanics are still bad after several years in the program. After 3 years with Harbaugh and  Campbell, I should be able to have good mechanics 

This thread is proof you all…

This thread is proof you all would rather be riddled with anxiety than happy.

Remember when the Coach’s’…

Remember when the Coaches’ Trophy said “Sears” on it?

Yes, that’s exactly my point…

Yes, that’s exactly my point. Both disrupt and are chaos machines, but Harbaugh does it in a good way. I was pretty clear about that. 

Harbaugh saying Michigan is America’s team in the middle of the signz scandal…that’s pure troll gold. 

I don’t know if even…

I don’t know if even Harbaugh knows what Harbaugh will do

Harbaugh provides me with…

Harbaugh provides me with all of the entertainment and disruption and chaos of Trump without the existential dread. 
 

like Harbaugh does the same insane and funny stuff Trump does, and fills tightasses with rage like Trump, but it’s only football, not like, the Supreme Court.

This is all insane. We are…

This is all insane. We are yelling for people to donate money, not for a building to be named after them, but to hand over to teenagers. Maybe UM millionaires and billionaires are smart enough to think that’s not a great investment. 

Plans to meet my cousin and…

Plans to meet my cousin and his family for a feast at Al Ameer in Dearborn canceled. Built a fire and made gumbo here in Dexter. Next to Peach “Mountain” it’s a bit colder than Ann Arbor 12 miles south, so we may get snow all night and no rain.

My father told me in 1985 to never give my heart to the Lions and I have followed that advice. My son however, is not heeding that same advice that I gave him and is feeling confident about the Lions this weekend.

Yeah, how about Starkville?…

Yeah, how about Starkville? And saying Oxford is nice is like saying there are very pretty mountains in Afghanistan. It’s technically true, but the area surrounding Oxford is still in Mississippi.

Well, I don’t want to be…

Well, I don’t want to be shot. However, I love really successful Buckeyes that never beat UM. I want them to win MVPs, rings, HOF, whatever. For example, I love that Herbstreit has no gold pants. I guess I’m just cruel like that.

It’s really hard to dislike…

It’s really hard to dislike MHJ. 

There’s pretty good science…

There’s pretty good science behind the 12 year old cutoff for tackle. I know a couple of former Michigan football players who have that rule for their kids.

What are you talking about?…

What are you talking about? After Minter and Rone, Herbert is likely the best known assistant.

Look at the numbers: late…

Look at the numbers: late 1st/early second will get about $10m for 4 years with a $5m signing bonus. So that’s about $3.5M per. I think UM gets him back if they can give him $3m and some commitment to a bit more throwing.

Why hire a coach you hope…

Why hire a coach you hope can beat OSU when you have a candidate that has beaten them. It’s going to be very difficult NOT to hire Rone.

He could likely have Florida…

He could likely have Florida if he wants it. Still a mystery to me why that school has been so bad these past 12 years.

DeBoer is a college guy and…

DeBoer is a college guy and I doubt NFL teams are willing to hire college guys without NFL experience and a proven record. Too many flameouts

I think I hate Greenberg more than Finebaum
