Halftime FG % Mich 52 Purdue 45 ..Purdue ahead by 11...Typical.Mich either commits more turnovers or gives up way to many offensive rebounds..Remarkable that a team can shoot as well or better than opp.and lose 19 of 25.
Respectfully Alex losing Saab is a much bigger deal than merely a "bummer." I thought UM's transformational over. transactional NIL policy took care of our established players.We just lost a kid who was going to be a starter for the next 2 years.
Joe Don Looney..Yale Larry..Dick 'Night Train' Lane..Joe Schmidt..Terry Barr ( UM player)...Jim Gibbons..Roger Brown ( 1st 300 lb.freak)..Harley Sewell ( longtime o-lineman)..Gail Cogdill..Alex Karris..Larry Hand..Dick Lebeau..Dr.Jack Christianson..Tobin Rote ( back up qb who started 57 champ game)...Lem Barney...Bobby Lane...Amos Marsh..Van Patrick ( Lions play by play man)
This is what you end up with when you have a piss poor NIL program and "Byzantine " transfer set up..Add HD ,C.Love and T.Shannon ( at least until his recent susp.) to this squad and many of those close loses are wins.The lack of comments on this thread symbolizes fan apathy.
Michigan's most obvious need preseason was to find a back up center. For whatever reason it didn't happen.Michigan is successfully attacked inside regardless of opponent.Do the Math! .Offensively Mich scores enough to be above .500.
I don't understand why anyone watches/reads/listens to these clickbate ratings whores.If I want to be around someone whose single purpose is to get me riled up I'll call up my Ex...
I'm in the midst of a Wes Anderson film marathon and took a break.I check MGOBLOG to see what's happening.I see this thread.Apparently I'm still I'm the bizarre world of WA...Asteroid City is a top 5 WA Film.
FYI - Per 247 Michigan's 2023 Transfer Class was ranked 17th not 'top 5.' Michigan's Recruiting rank is currently 6th but will likely drop because several teams ranked below Michigan only have 17 or so recruits while Michigan has 28...The enormous on field success of the last 2 seasons hasn't generated the improvement in recruiting one might expect.NIL or lack thereof (for new recruits) is the obvious reason.
That's a reasonable take.Lineup speculation is difficult due to so many new faces.Currently we have some good defenders..Reed, Nk.,Burnett but a lack of scoring.
The 4 position looks solid to me with the Tennessee dude & Jackson.A legit ,above average 3 transfer would allow Burnett to start at 2.Llewelyn is nothing more than a decent combo guard bench player. Then add a decent back up Center. (neither Jackson nor Nkumhoua are the answer there.) Counting on T.Will,Cheddar or Yo Yo is mostly wishful thinking...GUARDS Dug,Burnett,Llewellyn. FORWARDS. Nk.,Jackson,Wing transfer..CENTER.Reed,transfer.
3rd down RBS ,under 200 lbs.last about 3 years (Swift) not worth 12 th pick...Side Note- Predictably the local media is WAY more positive about the 2 picks than National..
2 Safties gone in last few days ,hopefully means Berry and Saab are ballers.I understand when a 3rd/4th year guy leaves if they aren't on the 2 deep but a Freshman? Strange times.Best of luck DD
Jon Crispin (annoying asshole),Len Elmore,Stephen Bardo ,Joey Galoway ( bad at their job),any announcer who says " They'll feel a lot better going into the locker room if they cut the lead to single digits." Old School names not mentioned yet..all favs..Danny Gallivan and Foster Hewitt ( hockey),Mel Allen Ernie Harwell,Red Barber (baseball),Van Patrick, Bob Reynolds,Chuck Thompson (NFL).
For perspective Michigan currently has 234 points on 247.Last years Class finished with 245 points ,ranked 17.Three teams finished over 300 points.280 or so would put Michigan in top 5.
I mentioned Nameth before reading you post.NY East Coast Media bias a huge factor.Eli Manning gets the same treatment and will undeservingly end up in HOF.
Overrated Joe Nameth..More career pass int.than td passes..In the upset Super Bowl win that he gets most of the credit he threw for under 200 yards and 0 td's.Can you name another NY Jet player on that team? Jets win with def.and an outstanding running game.
Back in the day the W was on the front of Wisconsin's helmet..OSU's helmet has changed quite a bit over the years,during the 50's and most of the 60's it had an extremely wide stripe over the top.
Michigan hasn't crashed the offensive boards or run a fast break in years.The new personnel is better suited to add these two weapons to the offenses arsenal.This should off set the expected regression in half court sets.
Strong Mich/Juwan supporter here.I find it maddening,ironic and semi-comical that we have a half dozen or so 4's and not a damn one of em is a sure fire starter.
"If he's (T.Jackson) better than Jace he'll probably be the starter at the 4." Jace is the 3rd or 4th best option at the 4 so being better than Jace doesn't make you a starter.

Depends on whether there are any Safeties who"ve already taken the Freshman level Lit.Class UM made Myles Hinton repeat.

Meanwhile in AA ..Warde bends over "Thank you Sir.May I have another?"

After 1st qrt.mostly poor but NO TURNOVERS.
NOTE..More Lions threads than Mich.BB..I'm not surprised
He doesn't explicitly say he's returning.he said he "for sure" is considering returning. He does sound happy to be in AA.
If one of the 2 has to go I'd rather keep Sanderson, easy choice for me.
1.Fuck Fran..2.Big 10 teams have slowed Dug down with hard hedge.3.Tarris works harder than everyone else.
2nd straight game where opps.rebound over half of their own missed shots,that's a serious issue.
I don't understand why anyone watches/reads/listens to these clickbate ratings whores.If I want to be around someone whose single purpose is to get me riled up I'll call up my Ex...
Now that you mentioned next year who do you folks think will be the starting QB,assuming JJ moves on to NFL?
We shouldn't be posting links to his bull shit.
Only explanation for outliers, other than anti Mich. bias,is "I vote based on who you've beat rather than what my eyeballs show me."
179 is fine but 40 of em came on CJ reverse and Tuttle run.Im not seeing many of those 5 yard runs on 1st down or many explosive runs.
I'm in the midst of a Wes Anderson film marathon and took a break.I check MGOBLOG to see what's happening.I see this thread.Apparently I'm still I'm the bizarre world of WA...Asteroid City is a top 5 WA Film.
I highly doubt JH is onboard with this.
"Thank you Sir,may I have another?"
Per 247 Michigan's 2023 Transfer only rank was 17th..2023 Recruit only 20th.2023 Combined 17.

I wonder what the 'underlying issues' are.Anyone?
The Classic 'heavy Michigan lean' who for some unknown reason never pulls the trigger.

I can't believe Beth Mullin hasn't appeared on anyone's worst list yet.

NHG will end up at Charlotte...WHOOPS- Already posted on another thread.
The P.T.Barnum of Coaches brought to you by ESPN.
Llewellyn's status? I thought he needed some sort of NCAA waiver.There are 3 open spots if he doesn't get waiver.
Made me lol literally.Thanks.
Michigan QB's...Overrated Brian Griese..Underrated J.Navarre.

2023 will be the 85th consecutive Season Michigan will wear the most iconic helmet in the History of College football.
As is Boomer Essiasin.

RIP Mr.Illitch..your children are destroying a once proud franchise.
I just listened to The Michigan Insider ,FWIW,Sam Webb and Tim McCormick predict he will 'return' to Michigan.
Capt.Obvious comment: BB team will be much more athletic next year.Four non-athletic players either gone or less PT:HD,T.Will,Baker and Cheddar.
