To be fair, they announced…

To be fair, they announced the bowl ban before the season even started, IIRC. (Not that they were expected to be bowl eligible going into the season…)

And then Denver in the final…

And then Denver in the final. This guy is a game ahead of you. 

Last time we won a national…

Last time we won a national title in football, a few months later . . . 

Just wishcasting but with…

Just wishcasting but with NIL, if the guys could partner with some players to offer autographed copies of this thing when it comes out, the sheer amount of money I’d blow…

Yep. Everyone is either…

Yep. Everyone is either Jesus or Joe Paterno. No levels between. 

I run OneNote on my iPad…

I run OneNote on my iPad with no issues. The handwriting to text feature with the apple pencil is great. That said, I have nothing negative to say about Android or Windows; its just what my company bought me.

Maybe it’s time for US to…

Maybe it’s time for US to finally hold TomVH?

I'm a staunch believer there…

I'm a staunch believer there are only 7 blue bloods. No Nebraska.

When the old season is over,…

When the old season is over, you and I know, it's gonna be Michigan again. Michigan.

Honestly; I still kinda felt…

Honestly; I still kinda felt like we were lucky to win this/“it was Haskins/hutchinson playing out of their minds.” The blowout to Georgia kinda confirmed. 

next year in Columbus was when I was genuinely like the tide had turned. 

Selling Lions jerseys in LA…

Selling Lions jerseys in LA would be a good start. 

Shit. Really think we will…

Shit. Really think we will miss him next year. 
 

Best of luck to him. Anyone on this team can do anything they want and none of us get to give them shit. Michigan National Champion forever. 

They're planning a hardcover…

They're planning a hardcover commemorative book about the last three seasons. Hang tight.

Yeah but it was worth it…

Yeah but it was worth it. That Tony took us to Sardi's and then we had a great night at Liza's.

I don't want to pretend to…

I don't want to pretend to be an awards expert but this actually makes sense. There's an award for best on-air talent on that type of show and those folks are eligible for that. If the show itself wins, or wins for some technical category, the producers of the show get it. Its like at the Oscars, the cast of the film that wins Best Picture don't get Oscars to take home, the producers do. In this case, where many of these shows have the on-air talent listed as producers (even though they are such mostly in name only), they only give it to the "real" producers.

This happens more often than…

This happens more often than we'd think on these non-televised/technical awards. My buddy Kosmo once got a Tony Award just for being a seat filler at the right time. 

I'm not really sure it rises…

I'm not really sure it rises to the level of doxxing for someone to willingly link to their social media account and that social media account to state who they are for someone else to basically just sum up the exact information the person has voluntarily shared about themselves?

This was reported at the…

This was reported at the time the video started airing. I knew this years ago. Or at least that Jim did, I think his dad helping might be new info. 

Ok that video is incredible. 

Ok that video is incredible. 

I have to imagine this might…

I have to imagine this might be delayed a day or three as they probably want to get back to Ann Arbor so those on the podcast who didn’t go can participate. They’re probably just now getting up and on flights. 

People have lives. Let’s not…

People have lives. Let’s not complain about a free website. They’ll cover it when they cover it.

Correct, he was at Ole Miss 2020-2022.

I like the 200 level on the visitors side. Not much to see in college park.

ESPN is a non-broadcast…

ESPN is a non-broadcast network and therefore not accountable to the FCC so… 

Inject that postgame speech…

Inject that postgame speech into my fucking veins. 

Clearly he typed TRO …

Clearly he typed TRO (temporary restraining order) and autocorrect changed it to TOR, which is the name of a browser among other things. 

Love this at the price…

Love this at the price. Think we need another body or two on defense but this team is built to compete for several years and the draft exists. 

You think a person being…

You think a person being charged with an actual crime and investigated by the FBI can “plea down” actual criminal charges with info about Level 2 NCAA violations?

Fox already claimed that…

Fox already claimed that game for Big Noon. NBC gets second pick and took this game. 

You don’t recall Michael…

You don’t recall Michael Robinson, a Heisman trophy finalist and Big Ten player of the year from Penn State (who was on the other side of the Henne-to-Manningham/2 seconds game)? 
 

He’s actually a great color guy. 

Craig Ross, is that you?

Craig Ross, is that you?

Next year is maybe the best…

Next year is maybe the best possible home schedule possible (in a non-Ohio State year) for ticketholders: USC, Texas, Oregon, ALL THREE TROPHY GAMES, and a quality Fresno State program. Wow!

Come again?

Come again?

Huge fan of this decision. 

Huge fan of this decision.

I'm going to push and say we split it with someone else.

Is there a volume lower than mute I could set you to?

This is a really gross…

This is a really gross suggestion that diminishes the fact that a woman has filed a credible allegation here. This is not rivalry fodder.

Have one for ECU. Section 22, row 30-something. Trip got cancelled. hardstock ticket so id need to overnight.

I have it on good authority that last time there was a concert at the Big House and the stage and stuff were passing thru the tunnel, the tunnel asked if it was "in yet?"

It's definitely not a thing…

It's definitely not a thing I would implement as a leader but I worked for a company where we stood up when the CEO walked in for our weekly executive meeting. (He also had weird demands like we needed to know our company values and be able to recite them on command.)

Again, not my personal style, but it hardly rises to the level of being a fireable offense. At the risk of being a terrible bore, I think calling something like this "a cult" or "toxic" is an insult to people who are actually in cults or abusive situations. This is a weird attempt at team/respect/enthusiasm building; it's not worthy of handwringing. People acquainting this to what happened at Northwestern are way out of line.

Other than (perhaps) the…

I'm probably going to get downvoted to oblivion for this dissenting opinion since people can't seem to see past their dislike for PJ Fleck's "style," but other than (perhaps) the part about circumventing punishment for minor street drugs if you've accumulated enough points, I found nothing in this article particularly troubling or rising to the level of "a cult" or "abusive". 

Every program in the country has weird mantras and does call-and-response things like the "I'm Elite" thing. Yes, maybe PJ Fleck, in taking a page from a "visionary CEO playbook" does more of these but that's also . . . fine? Similarly every team has one former player who felt the culture was toxic or they were rushed back from injury. Michigan has MANY.

This whole thing seems like a giant nothing-burger even if PJ Fleck is quite douchey. Where's the beef?

I have it on good authority…

I have it on good authority that Aaron recently discovered his dad FUCKED AARON’S MOM. Could throw this entire situation into chaos. 

That Don Thomas guy on…

That Don Thomas guy on Twitter will immediately claim Cade was superior to JJ in every way and should win the Heisman in the immediate aftermath.

"Sir, I'm sorry but handguns…

"Sir, I'm sorry but handguns aren't allowed inside these premises."

"But I need it to murder someone! Can't you make an exception!?"

I'll make note of that.

I'll make note of that.

was Brian Cook on that team?…

was Brian Cook on that team?

He really went turncoat on Illinois starting a Michigan blog and all . . .  

Fully aware of the sports…

Fully aware of the sports junkies and it makes perfect sense that dudes who think “hitting skins” as a euphemism for sex is the height of hilarity shortens the name to Zards. 

I spend 100+ nights a year…

I spend 100+ nights a year in DC and I've literally never heard anyone call them the "Zards."

As a savvy computer user, I…

As a savvy computer user, I would not keep my computer in s-mode. If you or your family members have a history of viruses and malware, maybe you need that buffer. I do not know why you cannot return to s-mode once you leave.

This is a weird-ass place to ask this question.
