Excellent...  perhaps it is time to hand over the Isaiah Wilson to Georgia evidence dossier...

Emmanuel Sanders?

Same height / weight / crisp routes from the slot, ability to split out wide if needed.  Sanders can also run a deep route thanks to better speed (4.4). 

Spit out out my coffee

That IS the most SEC thing ever.  I would upvote you but that isn't really an option for me right now.

I attempted dark humor in an RIP thread

I meant it as a rumor akin to those started by Albert Breer, but after arriving in La Paz I realized that my attempted at humor could have been interpreted as a threat. I sent a communique to my wife warning that if men in dark suits with badges showed up at our door that it was all a misunderstanding. She did not understand. Since she left I have been all alone, with only my regrets.

I promise it was only a poorly timed and worded joke. I have never hurt a soul. In the 3rd grade my hampster died. I think it was of natural causes but I will always live with the thought that if I had only cleaned the cage more often he would still be with us. Please do not make me take this regret to the grave as well.

Sincerely,

Har Bro

Strange but true

It is harder to gain weight at altitude.  Just moving to Michigan should help with that.

McCaffrey practiced and played fine

But he showed up a day late for practice.  That had more to do with him being a 3rd stringer than anything.

Dylan McCaffrey's stock has same graph as Christian's

Last year people saw what Christian could do and equated to potential / high ceiling for Dylan.  Another factor - it is understandable for a kid to hit a growth spurt and stand 6'4" 185 his junior year. When he comes back at 6'4 185" for his senior year, he is no longer a prototypical 5-star pro-style QB.  On the field junior and senior year were both solid, ending in State Championships.

The kid is a winner - but he has to add 30-40 lbs and some velocity to his throws before he'll see the field.

The UK, Haiti, Kenya, South Africa

From what I can tell, everything Harbaugh does is strategic.  To benefit recruiting he doesn't have to do something as direct as going to IMG / AT&T / Bishop Gorman / SoCal.  

Within NCAA rules, I think this trip is going to be a once-in-a-lifetime learning opportunity for the kids.  This is consistent with the UM difference, which is being emphasized on the recruiting trail.  Basketball teams have been doing this for years, with trips to Europe, China, etc.

  • The UK - consistent with NFL emphasis to grow the brand of football
  • Haiti - pump $250K into the local economy, complete service projects
  • Kenya - visit game parks, learn about the cradle of civilization
  • South Africa - learn about history, visit Robben Island, visit game parks

If this is allowed by the NCAA, it would be awesome, and also kind of surprising that it hasn't been done before. 

Joe Kerridge

Has more playoff wins than all the B1G All-NFL Rookies combined. 

 

Be clear on your play calling

Jim -  "Why did you throw the vegetables at me?"

Addison - "If you wanted a hand off, you should have called that play."

In any other organization

You could never hire a person who departed from their previous job due to allegations of verbally abusing, and in some cases jeopardizing the health of members of the organization.   I am trying to think of a scenario in 'the real world' in which this happens.  I can only hope the allegations were completely unfounded.

 

 

Neutral Site, Neutral Refs

Neutered offense.

You could not be more correct

Mike Hart

Harbaugh and Mike would follow contract signing by leading a round of Kum ba yah on the Diag.

Saturday night aint happening

Check out the direct flight Sunday morning.

Harbaugh and Fisch saw Elliss play well

Noah Elliss had a monster game when Harbaugh and Fisch were there.  He was dominant, although he did get a couple of personal fouls for rag dolling the opposing QB on sacks.

 

After the game, Fisch and Harbaugh talked to Will Rodgers for awhile, but I did not see them with Noah Elliss at all.  It would be interesting to know why no offer has been made.

For what its worth...

We flew down and went to the Alabama game.  We bought out tickets outside of the stadium just as the game started - $100 per seat, 40 yard line, lower bowl and parking passes thrown in.

Positives:

- Jerry World is a Cathedral of Football.  Even if you don't like football it is worth checking out.

Negatives

- it was 21-0 by the time we parked, got through security and found our seats.  "SEC, SEC" chants for 3 quarters were not fun either.

- The big screen is so big it distracts you from watching the actual game.

 

I'm debating going this year.  Much of the allure was the novelty of seeing the stadium.

Just a couple

People who merge into your lane at the last second even though everyone knows the damn lane ends ahead

Paul Feinbaum and his supreme dickishness regarding Harbaugh and UM.

Great video!

So far it is a toss up between this and Cesar for decision announcement video of the year.

Most unique / valuable content

This type of analysis / education is great.  Thank you.

Urban is next

Its a very real thing.  Don't tell the recruits.

Three Top 10 opponents prior to the break, one after

Your point was?

Bold Prediction

Sr's next tweet will involve Wilson Phillips and "Hold on" for one more day.

Different Team after the bye week

I'm not sure if it was conditioning or focus but the only complete game they played after the break was Maryland - prior to that they had put together solid efforts across the board.

Maybe they lost the focus they had coming out of fall camp?  Or perhaps the break had an impact on conditining?

Kiffin wanted to make sure

He wouldn't be the only one on the team hitting on coeds.  

Black is the new Blue

The first day of Commitmas!

I'd move Black to 100%

Three teams with significant UM connections

Bears - Harbaugh, Raiders - Woodson, Steelers - Woodley

Where did McShay project Jake Butt? 

 

This guy knows who won the Jive Turkey of the Year Award

Harbaugh was born for this job

He whole life prepared him for this. He idolizes Bo, and he will not leave until he achieves results that both Bo and his father Jack will be proud of.

The End.

Urban Meyer loves DBs

test

OSU bagmen

Have truly outdone themselves this year.

Santa Claus a "very real thing"

Rumors will come back every year.

Ole Albert has Instragram too

His last post was a UM troll after the game.  I'd encourage you all to let him know what a great job he is doing.

Albert Breer reportedly

in talks to take head reporting position at Bolivian Ministry of Bucknut Propoganda.  My source tells me that this rumor will persist indefinitely, as long as I definitely report it.

You'll need his cable login info

Just cancel service effective 12/30. Safest bet is to do it over the Internet from his house. Bonus points if you can intercept the confirmation email. 12/31,is a Saturday, so he'll have a hell of a time getting it back up for the game.

Outside of watching on NFL network

Anyone have any bright ideas on how to see this? I don't think this is one of those stations my friends in Russia can stream for me.

The future is bright at receiver

That Hawkins highlight tape. Damn.  With these big physical receivers coming in, can we please reintroduce the end-zone corner fade?  I only saw it once this year -  with Drake Harris @ MSU but he was held.

From the sounds of things

Applewhite to Baylor would have been a better fit.

Also AT

Lined up opposite with coverage.

Since then

We have had 5*s Kevin Grady and Derrick Green.

Not optimistic on Walker

Between HS highlight tape, HS All-American game and Spring Game, I was scratching my head about why he was so highly rated in the first place.

Yes!

How does punt returner play in?

This season I thought part of the reason they were so aggressive on punts was to force the kicking team into a no-win situation. From the description this looks like the strategy works independent of the return talent. Is this something we will try without a proven dude handed returner next year?

Two huge differences b/w Jabrill 2016 and Woodson 1997 v OSU

Woodson's INT was in the endzone. Woodson's return also made it to the end zone. Woodson also had a huge gain on offense. You insult us by even comparing those performances.

Louisville is in board https://twitterhttps://www.google.com/amp/www.si.com/extra-mustard/2016… Now if we can get Clemson and Oklahoma to do the same thing this will be a done deal.
