Surprised Corey schraeder of…

Surprised Corey schraeder of mizzou didn’t get picked. 

Okie definitely should have stayed.  Possibly upshaw as well.  Oh well, we made it without them. 

What is the probation from? …

What is the probation from?  Is this like double secret probation but actually double public probation? Can we participate in the cfp?  Assuming that is a yes or the board would have exploded along with all Mfandom and pieces of shrapnel would be found all over the planet wherever an M alum is- which we know is everywhere- including space, bitches.

He was found to be not…

He was found to be not impaired by the officer on the seen and was not charged.  

Let’s hope this is under the limit and a fender bender.  Cause otherwise he’s probably gone. 

Two great ones there. …

Two great ones there.  Sparty spanky Bob and why oh why did we kick to Rocket again?

How would the trajectory of M football be different today?

Curious if people here are…

Curious if people here are aware of Wally pipp’s Michigan connection. 
 

He lived in the Detroit area after playing and his son Wally went to u of m as well as a grandson and granddaughter.

sounds a lot like Beilein and I'm all good with that.

i said a number of times…

i said a number of times prior that Hart would not be back.  He never really buried the hatchet with Harbaugh over his comments at Stanford.  He is thought to have been part of the leaks concerning burgergate.   I'm glad it;s finally official.  You won't find anything any posted- Harbaugh doens't throw people under the bus.  Just like he covered for Warde on his way out.

Exactly this.  I have to get…

Exactly this.  I have to get an endoscopy every year for another condition and it comes w the same knockout drug.  I actually look forward to the rest every year.  It also made me realize how a person like Michael Jackson could get hooked. 

Harbaugh and hart are not on…

Harbaugh and hart are not on good terms. Hart was never going to LA.  Probably not returning to M either.  

22 turnovers!!!

22 turnovers!!!

I’m sure it will be against…

I’m sure it will be against Sparty.  They say they own this state now.

Check the receipt in a few months.  Hart was not a Harbaugh friend. He never actually let go of the dispute they got in when Harbaugh was at Stanford and dissed the M classes.  You can believe it or not. You can neg me, but a group of people very close to the situation confirm this is the reason for the silence and departure.

Hearing Hart was thought to…

Hearing Hart was thought to be a leaker and on team Warde. Pretty certain he’s gone. 

Is this as good a hire as…

Is this as good a hire as McDonald and minter? I have to think it’s pretty fricking close.  He runs a similar scheme so the defense doesn’t need to learn a whole new system.  So what if he’s here only 1-3 years? Really, Mac was 1 and minter 2.  Seems to have connected w coach and players so should stop portal talk.  Another nfl connection on top of all the ones we just made.  This has to become the biggest selling point to recruits. You want to know what the league is really about? You want a direct connection to a handful of teams? We’ll say hello to M.  He doesn’t need to be a big road recruiter.  Get them on campus and play up the nfl - the continued harbaugh connections through jack, john and Jim. 
 

certainly better than anyone else we were getting. 

Welll. It might help retain…

Welll. It might help retain players since we can at least talk like it makes our chances of making the cfp that much better.

This is a joke.  Juwan doesn’t have a clue. The announcers know more of what should be happening than the M coaches. 

Dumb take.  No I didn’t. I…

Dumb take.  No I didn’t. I’ve always supported harbaugh. I also know warde and harbaugh had real issues as I’ve stated in posts before. Check them out. I’ve said all along this was warde and Stapleton.  Harbaugh had questioned warde on his friendship w Stapleton and warde literally said they were best friends.  It’s known they want a different shade of pale in the hc. And they got it. Get upset if you want but those are the facts. Just like bacon just said they hate each other I just said the rest about color. The truth needs to be told.

I know 15 major donors who wrote ono about that and it didn’t happen.  I also know that ono and harbaugh had agreed to terms before the natty and then warde retraded and took some away.   Ono found out the week after the game. 

Not until after they won the… Not until after they won the natty and then they knew all the conditions for a month. In addition, Warde’s buddy Stapleton has wanted him gone for years.
Yes he did.  Him and his…

Yes he did.  Him and his best buddy stapleton.  

No. Not a good article. An…

No. Not a good article. An attempt at an article that does not know or discuss the leaks to the press and Manuel’s relationship w Stapleton and Stapleton wanting harbaugh gone.  Sorry. I’m not an insider but I know enough people who are very close and these are real issues.  

Still have to prove it. …

Still have to prove it.  Also, only because of the ridiculous change making a Head Coach have eyes everywhere .

Exactly.  And screams “ warde is out for me”. 

Exactly.  And screams “…

Exactly.  And screams “ warde is out for me”. 

That’s not what he’s asking…

That’s not what he’s asking for. 
he’s asking for known facts and ncaa head hunting.  Drunk driving , murder etc would all remain. However, not by warde but by arbitration panel. 
 

this is not difficult unless you want it to be.  Warde wants it to be. 

Can’t afford it??? 
do you…

Can’t afford it??? 
do you know how many $$$ harbaugh has already brought in. 
how many $$$ the natty will bring. 
how many $$$ keeping him will bring. 
he’s earned his cost many times over. I used to be heavily involved in the alumni association ( president of a major city club). Development says in his first year alone they thought he was worth well over $100 million and possibly $200 million in additional donations. 
 

and if the arbitration clause doesn’t scream “ warde is out for me “ I don’t know what does. 

Harbaugh is not an idiot or…

Harbaugh is not an idiot or unreasonable. These “ if he murdered someone “ comments are stupid.  
 

It’s very easy to construct a contract that protects against known facts to the university and protects harbaugh.  It’s not easy if you don’t want him. 
 

if he is suspended a year it costs $10 maybe $15 million.  You move sherone and hart and hire an analyst for a year. 
 

winning the natty and signing harbaugh will bring in much more than whatever the costs will be. He has already brought in many times his costs in donor dollars to the university during his tenure.  Having jim has made the university money. 

This is exactly what warde…

This is exactly what warde is counting on. That people will just think Jim wanted a Super Bowl.  He will point to him saying he was trying so many times.   He’s not. 
 

See @michigannation2 on x - it’s not one person. And I know one is a high school friend of harbaugh and “trusted friend and agent “.  
 

one tweet here.  See x for more 

Sorry  I understand why…

Sorry  I understand why people think this  however  I’m confident his friends are accurate that he wanted(s) to stay but won’t put himself at a risk he believes is unwarranted  

The last 2 years are on the…

The last 2 years are on the university. He had to show his value to warde last year. This year they are holding on to a clause that puts him at the mercy of the ncaa. They had a chance to remove the obstacles and have him signed. They chose not to. 

This is exactly what I’m…

This is exactly what I’m hearing from my friends that know harbaugh. 
He’s at the complete mercy of the ncaa in the contract they want him to sign.  
He will be gone if that’s not changed. 

He’s getting $7 million w a …

He’s getting $7 million w a $7 million buyout on a 7 year deal. 
Washington was offering deboer $9 million so they have the $$$

 

this would be awesome. 

Awesome listen. Thanks so…

Awesome listen. Thanks so much for posting.  
What he is talking about is the Michigan Difference on this team.  This is the most important piece that needs to remain.  I’m optimistic that Blake et al have injected it into the bloodstream of all the players.  But it needs to be nurtured and stoked constantly to remain long long term. No one saw this coming when Harbaugh came but it’s his biggest legacy.  Which I think bill Poggi gets a lot of credit for.  He showed Jim how to turn the constant jackhammer aggressive show me attitude into a constant collaborative aggression.

So is this an omen that we will face ewers on Jan 8?

Love everything cinnamon. Best cinnamon rolls can be found at Ann Sather’s in Chicago. 
 

merry Xmas.

But I think I’m this case Gabriel actually is a good dancer w a great personality. Lol. 

Well, ward and Stapleton are…

Well, ward and Stapleton are buddies. They were out to dinner in Detroit the week of thanksgiving again. 
 

Connecting the dots is not difficult.  

I think it’s a combination…

I think it’s a combination of a number of factors 

sec bias

alabama’s recent success overall 

Alabama beating back to back champions Georgia 

milroy looked very good in the sec championship 

michigan’s cfp failures 

we’ve won but the last several games have shown a workman like but not exciting Michigan offense.  It’s looked like the kind that the “ sec speed” can potentially dominate.  
 

that said , I think we win because like sec commissioner said “ one of these is like the other “ and to me it’s that the Georgia and Alabama teams are not like the ones we have seen in recent years.  I don’t think they are as good as they have been. I also think we’ve been playing hurt , literally, McCarthy’s leg, then Zak, will , and no hc for 3 games.  
 

But I hope it keeps going this way. Make us 10 point underdogs and fuel the fire!!!  This team reacts like Jordan and Brady.  They take slights and use them to be better. 

I’ve never seen a football…

I’ve never seen a football team use the word Love so much.  And I loved it!  
the Michigan difference. 
he won’t find it and you can’t create that in the nfl. 

blue forever 

If we are truly good enough…

If we are truly good enough to be champions then it should not matter who we play.  Just win.  I guarantee you this is the dynamic inside schembechler hall. 

It’s not like it’s 1973 and… It’s not like it’s 1973 and it’s the rose bowl.
The pounding on the joint…

The pounding on the joint for that long a period would certainly create pain.  Never asked if it would actualy cause an issue with the device. I had never had a marathon on my bucket list so it was easy to accept.  When I had been looking at a traditional hip replacement I was being told i might be able to ski, but I certainly would be limited to groomers and such.  Nothing against those who enjoy that, but i ski hard and like it to be as physically demanding as possible so I do a lot of bumps and lots of steep and back country.

St Brown bros aren’t very up…

St Brown bros aren’t very up on much football history. 

I had hip resurfacing done…

I had hip resurfacing done nearly 20 years ago.  The only thing my doctor told me I couldn’t do was run a marathon. 
I continue to ski moguls, skate and lift. I lift a ton with my legs.  The base socket of a resurfaced hip is extremely strong and significantly different than a hip replacement.  It’s your own bones just new material to pivot on. 
 

He should be fine. 

Poli Sci and Econ 83 got me…

Poli Sci and Econ 83 got me in to Ross mba 85. 

‘83 grads-  The team was very good but not great but we got to watch Anthony Carter- the most electric player until denard.  And we saw Bo turn down Texas A&M!
