SQ embodies the “Interdimensional Cable 2” episode of Rick and Morty. 
“ ‘Jerry, remember that time you left a comment underneath that YouTube video and someone replied and called you a dumbass, so you replied and told them, "it takes one to know one," and you stayed up all night hitting "refresh" on your browser waiting for them to reply and then you fell asleep crying? This is like that. You can't make people like you. You just have to wait for hating you to bore them.’

I’m about to say something I…

I’m about to say something I really want to disagree with but I think he’s better off going pro. I don’t think he’s being used to anywhere close to his potential in this offense, not sure if it’s Mike or Sherrone, but I think if he stays he’ll “regress” even more. 
I love Donovan and his attitude but he’s gotta look to his future. 
I really hate myself for saying that.

Exactly. Especially in the youth leagues where the coaches are (more often than not) some kid’s dad who’s trying to make his kid a star. 

I do think there should be…

I do think there should be changes in rules of tackling. There’d be far fewer significant injuries if rugby tackling rules were applied to (American) football. 
In also suspect if players weren’t so well armored there would be fewer Ronnie Lott style violent collisions. 

(No subject)

I don’t know what that means.

Who cares what that clown says on that clown show? I won’t click that crap. 

If you don’t have a center…

If you don’t have a center who can snap in the shotgun you line up under center. To allow a problem to continue unchecked throughout an entire season is all on coaching.

Thanks XM. There are lots of websites where one can get a game recap to sate one’s curiosity without making it seem like the blog writers are slacking. Especially around the Christmas holidays when I’m sure they have stuff going on.

Exactly. Any team in the power 5 that is undefeated should be in. 
Yes, that’s an opinion, not a fact. But “best” is also an opinion, not a fact.

I just wish there were some kind of free internet service where we could type in a question like this, and it would search the entire worldwide web for the answer, and display matching results. 
 

I for one would use that a lot. 

I know that, and his firing…

I know that, and his firing pissed Bo off so much he ran the score to 70 on the Illini the year after they fired him. But it got him the head coaching experience needed to step into Bo’s job. 
Although some (myself included) would say this season has given Sherrone the experience needed… 😂

Why would we want him to not…

Why would we want him to not move up? Reminiscent of Gary Moeller, let him go get head coaching experience with a program of his own, and come back to UM as its head coach when needed. More power to him if he wants to move on. If he wants to stay I’m sure money will not be an issue. 

“Twitter personality” and …

“Twitter personality” and “Enjoy” are diametric opposites. It’s too early in the morning to unravel a koan. 

Since that one was blocked I…

Since that one was blocked I offer this OSU dude I first started watching when MSU beat OSU/Meyer.  While a homer he has a pretty fair take on the game, and gives credit to UM even though he’s in the depths of despair. His recurring theme is “I don’t know…”  He’s the kind of guy I’d enjoy a beer with and I feel kinda bad posting it after his plea for no UM fans to watch.

So glad you said “we” or I’d have thought you were throwing shade instead of worrying about your own mess.

I say get Lou Holtz to stand on the sideline next to Sherrone. Day’s weird and unseemly Daddy fixation will be his undoing. 

Thank you!

Thank you!

I’ve had a hard time…

I’ve had a hard time tolerating OSU since they hired Urban “Chinless Wonder” Meyer. Prior to that I always felt like there was a mutual respect in the rivalry. Meyer brings an edge of pettiness to everything he touches, and Day has boosted that to 11. 
When I think of OSU (especially their coaching staff) now, I think of Popovich’s phrase “soulless coward” and smile in affirmation. 

Oops. That was supposed to…

Oops. That was supposed to be in reply to Swayze Sheen’s comment: “here comes Shuttlesworth, trolling again. Why do you even spend time on this site?”

I’ve met people like him in…

I’ve met people like him in person. They tend to have very low self esteem, and feel better about their sorrowful lives if they can make others feel badly. Misery often does love company. I pity him. 

Yep, my thought exactly. We…

Yep, my thought exactly. We already knew Jim was in his head from the quaver in his voice when he called out Lou Holtz. Now he’s got to be crapping himself, knowing the 2021 beat down is still a distinct possibility if they don’t load the box like they did last year. 

Jim thinks they will. https:…

I’ve been closely following Harbaugh since his first start (win against Miami) at UM. He’s one of the few people in the world I’d stake everything on his honesty. He doesn’t lie, doesn’t cheat. No one I’d rather have leading UM Football, and yes I believed that in 2020 as well. 

As always: Thank you…

I was confused and tried looking up ChatGPTtiti, but your post was the only thing that showed on the google search. I’m very intrigued, and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

I’ll check it out, thanks. Spent way too much time Saturday trying to find a site that would give me up-to-minute scores/stats that ESPN does well, the only thing they do well.

Yeah, it’s hard to actually have to think about the things we read. What a pain.

This. Huddle or no-huddle doesn’t mean plays are or aren’t being signaled in from the sideline. 

You miss the point. What…

You miss the point of the usage in his letter. What they are complaining of, and what they’re asking for, are very different things. 

“Fury said to a mouse, that he met in the house, ‘Let us both go to law: I will prosecute you. Come, I'll take no denial; we must have a trial: For really this morning I've nothing to do.’ Said the mouse to the cur, ‘Such a trial, dear Sir, with no jury or judge, would be wasting our breath.’ ‘I'll be judge, I'll be jury,’ said cunning old Fury: ‘I'll try the whole cause, and condemn you to death.’” (Lewis Carroll, ‘Alice in Wonderland’)

Thanks for posting! I always look forward to these, even though the weather up here on Lake Superior is not quite like Ann Arbor’s… 

“Death is the only wise…

“Death is the only wise advisor that we have. Whenever you feel, as you always do, that everything is going wrong and you're about to be annihilated, turn to your death and ask if that is so. Your death will tell you that you're wrong; that nothing really matters outside its touch. Your death will tell you, 'I haven't touched you yet.’”

-Castaneda, ‘Journey to Ixtlan’

Quoting Bo

Quoting Bo.  Entire quote is “Deep down, your players must know you care about them. This is the most important thing. I could never get away with what I do if the players feel I didn’t care for them. They know, in the long run, I’m in their corner.”

Uhhhh… I hesitate to call…

Uhhhh… I hesitate to call most of what is done on the news “journalism”. It’s mostly sensationalism, clickbait and fishing for viewers. Fox is the most blatant but all “news” outlets are bound to the wheel of pandering for views. Not a whole lot different than everything else on the tube or internet including sports. I think The Onion’s “insta-poll tracker” from 2009 was spot on in this regard. And before you neg me, Post Office box

When I was in my mid-20s I realized that I focused and played much better when I was in a state of deep anger, so I’d intentionally put myself there when I’d play any sports. When I had kids I realized that I’d rather be a decent sentient being than a “winner.”
I do feel badly for Mork, it’s hell to carry that level of vitriol and self-pity around daily.

Back before the dark times, I used to tell MSU fans that the difference between UM and MSU was that it was a big deal when MSU won. They’d always get pissed off but it was true.

Where’s the weather post? I always look forward to mgoweather’s updates. Hope she’s okay!

Footing is definitely an…

Footing is definitely an issue going from artificial turf to grass, and depending on consistency of the field (amount of moisture in the sod, length of grass etc) getting the right cleat length can be tricky. A team whose home field is grass will always have an advantage in footing over a turf team when playing on a grass field.

I’m assuming we’ve done our due diligence on this so no significant in-game adjustments are needed.
