JJ is a really talented QB. Just like Williams, Daniels and Maye. Will he, or any of them, be successful in the NFL? Who the F knows. It's a total crapshoot which has as much to do about the situation they land in as anything else. Personally, I hope the Vikings trade up and grab him. Playing indoors and throwing to other JJ + Addison + Hock seems like a great position to start off in. And I'd root for them to go 15-2 every year.
What exactly do you not like about keeping a Top 100 soon-to-be sophomore in the program when our current roster consists basically of Cheddar and 11 fold up chairs?
Huge week for Wings! In addition to Caps tonight, they play the Pens on Thursday. Pens are tied with us at 84 points, though we have a game in hand. Win the next two, and playoffs chances are looking pretty darn good. LGRW!
Let's just agree to disagree...because I disagree with you and nothing you are saying is moving me in your direction. And, while you are telling me I am thinking about it wrong, I am thinking the same thing about you.
A puck that goes a millimeter offsides over than half a minute before the goal was scored is an irrelevant advantage
I honestly don't know how you can say that. They play was offsides. Literally the entire sequence wouldn't have happened if the correct call had been made. To put this in football context, could you imagine your outrage if an OSU RB stepped a millimeter out of bounds at the beginning of what ended up being a 90 yd touchdown run (or more likely a 90 yard pass...we all know OSU isn't tough enough to run).
Minnesota had at least a half dozen opportunities to possess the puck and exit the zone between the offsides and the goal. It'd be like allowing a football coach to challenge a TD because a player's knee was actually down 5 plays prior to the touchdown
Disagree...i think your analogy is off. To me, it would be like NOT allowing a football coach to challenge a knee down because 4 or 5 players on his team had opportunities to tackle the ball carrier after his knee was down.
Respectfully disagree with your position on the offsides review. The offsides directly led to the goal. The puck was in the zone and the cycling occurred because of the refs missing an offsides call. It was not incidental to the play. The current system, which forces reviews to the first whistle, seems perfectly reasonable to me...unless you want to get into a situation where coaches have to buzz in a challenge during live play. And that would present potential problems of its own (i.e., coach buzzing a challenge during a breakaway or buzzing a challenge during a long defensive zone shift).
The call didn't benefit Michigan, but it was correct and justice, so to speak, was served. I have no problem with the system as it is.
so we had 3 of the 5 first team skaters and finished 4th? Normally that would feel like a disappointment, but it really doesn't this year. It feels like the team achieved reasonably well and is rounding into form at the right time.
I feel no connection to this team. Sans Williams (who i feel for) and maybe Jace, they are just a bunch of guys. Between the transfer portal and players going pro early, there has been not much continuity to Howard's teams, and this years team is just another year of the program declining. It is hard to get excited for a program and a product that you have no connection with.
I think this is a pretty foundational issue with college sports today. There is zero connection to the players, who are essentially basketball mercenaries. I feel the same way...don't know they players and really don't have much interest in getting to know them when they are here for a year and then gone.
When your team is terrible and your program is a tire fire the support isn't going to be great. Fix the product and the rest will follow. I was a student ticketholder 1997 - 2001, so I saw some good (end of the Fisher era) and some REALLY bad (Ellerbee).
I don't care who it is advocating for the future well being of the sport, as long as that person can make a difference. Current state of college football and basketball is not sustainable in any way.
I think the PSU game is the one those folks really point to for the 'don't trust JJ' narrative. But, to your point, anyone who watched that game knew it was more 'don't trust the offensive line in pass protection' than it was not trusting JJ.
We’re just a couple of stops and a couple of made three away from being a couple of stops and a couple of made three away from being a couple of stops and a couple of made three away from making it a game…LFG!!!

Maybe we should make Orji a WR?
That is awesome for Tarris. Hope he develops and wins a bunch of games.
What exactly do you not like about keeping a Top 100 soon-to-be sophomore in the program when our current roster consists basically of Cheddar and 11 fold up chairs?
No they didn't.
If you watch games and don't recognize how good Raymond is...not sure what to tell ya.

Interesting tidbit, but it seems a bit little brotherish.
so if he held a practice today, would it just be him and Cheddar? Crazy!
check your calendar and then rethink your opinion on whether or not this is real.
TAKE MY MONEY, PLEASE
This isn’t Oregon chip Kelley

We can disagree. It's fine.

Best defensive effort I’ve seen from this team all year
Michigan hires firms to investigate itself. OSU hires firms to investigate Michigan. Seems about right.
uhhhhh....he hasn't actually played for michigan yet.
Who gives a crap about this roster. It’s terrible
Of course. I’d make that trade every single year
Great move on their part. He has completely turned that program around.
I don't know if there has ever been a team/coach under more pressure to win a single game than OSU/Ryan Day will face on November 30th.
That is one heck of a starting five.
JJ is not going to last past the top 10. Franchise QBs rarely do.
I'd say something about Keith Jackson...but we did just officially announce it!
Seriously? We basically need a basketball team.
I don’t feel like anyone should be on twitter doing anything ever
Is there any other sport where you, as a fan, are told you should help directly pay the players? Just seems so stupid.
Seems…
A Tire Fire
Seems Inadequate a Term
For This Program Now
Let's dig into the box score and find the positives:
Hopefully a new coach
Braylon 100%. I thought he would be a monster.
Am i reading that first chart correctly...that we have only been behind ~16% of the time compared to ahead ~50% of the time?
I think this is a pretty foundational issue with college sports today. There is zero connection to the players, who are essentially basketball mercenaries. I feel the same way...don't know they players and really don't have much interest in getting to know them when they are here for a year and then gone.

I think a fascinating debate would be which coach is doing a worse job...Juwan Howard or Monty Williams!

But they know more about sports than most other folks know

Hire Warde!

I don't think you need to put that 'might' in there.
Is it ok if I want the chargers to go 0-17?
I mean, raise your hand if you've never ordered late night drive through completely nude. He without sin and all that...
Seems to me like he’s pissing all over Moore
every. day.
