The hard part about Michigan Football to me is we've lost our identity. Wisconsin bullies us most of the time we play them and our best players leave before their careers play out before they're ready for the limelight or a high draft position in my personal opinion.
"Those Who Stay Will Be Champions?" Gone.
Toughest, Grittiest team in the league? Not by a long shot.
Everything I loved about the Lloyd and even Gary Moeller eras growing up is gone but all of our bugaboos remain and have gotten worse.
Maybe this year will be different. I like the early era Harbaugh teams but Jabrill Peppers aint walkin through that door
Strangely enough I was thinking before this game randomly that it's better to lose to a non-contender for a change before OSU.
Never crossed my mind it would be the Brass Spittoons from up the road in East Landfill Michigan. At any rate let's do this...6-2 Citrus Bowl or BUST I'm ROLLIN WITH HARBAUGH
Thank you for sharing. Seems like the more hard hitting news doesn't come out until long after the initial period of hysteria and speculation nowadays...
To be fair this is a different approach entirely. They're doing it in Sweden and according to a European study it is possible to achieve herd immunity without a vaccine as a matter of fact this study stated that 43 percent is needed for that....70 percent vaccine coverage is needed...
But here is the kicker...the pharmaceutical trials are often slanted towards achieving the desired result...We already know that the flu vaccine for example is only 29 percent effective and it's been out forever and had a ton of R&D behind it.
I am not a fan of any political party but I think that the approach many are going with is to let healthy people get the virus and develop antibodies to it while being safely quarantined.
Not saying it's right or wrong just saying that seems to be their MO.
Harbaugh did everything he could to follow the rules and guidelines to a tee and now Schlissel isn't even speaking with him. Such a travesty IMO I don't care what the chain of command is and all that business we all know how important football is to this city and institution. Disgusting to me.
Not sure but I don't think people realize how much rust this team will have to shake off if they don't play a season this year. Waiting from January 2020 to fall 2021 just to play a single competitive game would probably more harmful to these kids than anything else not to mention the program would be left in shambles. Who would want to wait that long??
Letting them play is the ONLY reasonable option in my honest opinion.
The question I have is, when does this all end. Does the virus just mysteriously disappear?
Do we wait for a vaccine? The flu vaccine was only 29 percent effective and I don't trust the pharmaceutical trials one bit the way they rig them to get a desired result.
The whole situation smacks of OCD and confusion. It seems like this is a war that can only be won through healthy human beings contracting the virus and overcoming it in my personal opinion.
There was a study out of Europe that said once 43 percent of people get antibodies herd immunity becomes reachable compared to 70 percent with a vaccine...And that's assuming the vaccine actually works at a wayyy higher rate than what the flu vaccine does according to the aforementioned CDC stat.
I just think that we have our priorities all wrong and the pharma companies are calling the shots; after all they spend more billions of dollars lobbying than any other industry. And I know I'm gonna get flamed for this but I don't care that's just how I feel.
I understand COVID is serious but a lot of this seems political. I'm just ready for this all to be over. They could have easily just said that kids should wear masks and bring sanitizer and that parents put the candy out on the porch but I guess that's too much for the rational human mind to comprehend and we should just cancel all life til a vaccine comes out or something
I personally thought he was utilized pretty well...I know we've all been disappointed in Donny Brown during certain big games but he always seemed to put Josh in the best position to make a play...
Seems pretty excessive to me. I wouldn't want to wear one of those things for longer than 10 minutes. Also just think of all the bacteria that will end up on them
I sincerely hope so. This is a voluntary activity these kids have trained their whole life for...it should be up to them whether they play or not.
As an aside I am thoroughly disappointed that players and coaches and politicians from other states seem to be way more invested in their teams playing than Michigan's...Especially former Michigan legends.
Braylon Edwards, Tom Brady (okay he's busy but still), Charles Woodson and pretty much every other social media account I've checked have been silent.
I disagree, I think the recent past has shown that teams like Michigan, Villanova, even going back to Bo Ryan Wisconsin can becoming elite as their young players develop and mature.
Even last night MSU took out a young Duke team. College basketball is not a young man's game. Even the NBA is going to swing back to a more mature man's game with more defense and strategy in the coming years IMO.
I think Bajema looks a little more in control on his drives and has better form on his shot. Not saying he'll be better than Caris but it looks like Cole understands angles really well and has an efficiency of movement that Caris didn't have. Which is perfect for the Beilein system to put pressure on the defense without being all squirrelly and stuff.
I was there by myself. Some of the dudes up in the nosebleeds with me, Sparty fans, seemed really really angry unlike anything I've experienced at Crisler. Lot of loud F-bombs being dropped. I went undercover because it was just me in a section of all Sparties and I didn't feel like dealing with any BS. I've had incidents traveling to an M game at UConn and other games in general just for wearing UM/Detroit stuff. Awful game but the Breslin does have a nice atmosphere. I prefer much prefer Crisler though since the upgrades!

Wow another thoughtless post worshiping the Ohio State football team. Are you an informant?
What do you want us to do just wave the white flag right now?
In all seriousness though I'm mildly optimistic.

Can't talk...Value personal happiness...watching basketball
I liked watching that guy play. He had the athletic chops to boost Iowa in the tourney, this is really too bad.
Sounds like a disease

The Novak is strong with this one
I just don't understand why no other former players are speaking out on this one way or another.
Guys like Woodson, even Devin Gardner are usually so vocal and then something like this happens and it's nothing but radio silence...

I....agree?

I am in the "Must Have Football" camp and it's beyond disheartening to see that more former players and influential people in the university are not.
Let them play!!

Actually kind of cool lol...Now let's import this into the latest NCAA football g....oh wait
I'm not surprised he's succeeding I just never thought he would end up having a better pro career than the man in my profile pic

I agree he's the real deal...A little bit of Shea in his game but I think he has a much higher ceiling.
This is the most milennial thing ever lol...Why don't we just play everything out in e-sports format
How about football team vs. students Mud Bowl

As someone who has worked in the media for a long time I agree. Media speculation and jumping the gun on stories like these is an epidemic.

1) This is awesome
2) What kind of twilight zone world are we living in with women's basketball players shooting jumpers in cloth masks

Bush, Sr., you will be missed.

Just goes to show it's not all about system, Xs and Ox, etc. It's about the intangibles and coming up big in big moments.
