They also let a bunch of kids come down for spring break and take the virus home with them.

Why do you feel vote by mail…

Why do you feel vote by mail is a fraud nightmare? Is it because Trump and Fox says so? Our military has voted by mail should we not allow that? Have you seen people protesting with no mask, no social distancing, and carrying guns? Assuming a vast majority of grown ups are responsible and reasonable is a joke.

Kind of like with Marvin Bagley's folks who went from bankruptcy with a combined income of 44k and having their house foreclosed on to living in a gated community of million dollar plus homes in 4 years.

He did make it to the NFC championship game by beating a Cowboy team that went on to win 3 Super Bowls.

Can you imagine the negative recruiting that would go on if we took Daniels?  Why would any HS QB recruit go to U of M because Harbaugh is always looking for transfers. His recruits barely ever see the field.

Death rate from SARS worldwide was 9.6%, 8098 cases with 774 deaths. Only 27 cases in US and no deaths.

Everything depends on where…

Everything depends on where you sit.  I originally had two tickets in Blue or section 18 row 1. PSD is 220 per seat. Picked up a third across the aisle in section 18 row 17. The PSD is only 80.  The season ticket itself cost roughly $500 each for the season.  Price once again depends on location. With PSD and cost of the season ticket my tickets cost approximately 100 per game per seat on average. Hope that helps some.

Getting close to saying no more and seriously considered it this year after sitting in a sea of red and hearing O-H-I-O echo through our stadium. Also don't understand our cheerleaders chanting go big blue which happens to be a pet peeve of mine. With the 2022 schedule being finalized I just can't see myself paying to see that crappy of a schedule. It has gotten to the point of even years being terrible (sick of Wisconsin being on schedule) and odd years having all the marquee games.

He is shooting 26.5 % from 3. He should not be shooting them at the rate he does. 

Volume does wonders.  Last…

Volume does wonders.  Last years so called #1 in the B1G class was #3 on a per player average being slightly edged out by PSU and a full point per player behind OSU.  2018 they were more than 5 points per player better. 2017 more than 3 points per player. As things stand now they are 2 points per player better this year.  Thus the last Saturday in November you get a butt whooping.

DB did fine against OSU when they had a QB who couldn't throw and he had Hoke's recruits. Now that he has his guys and OSU has a QB who can sling it it isn't so pretty.

Don Brown caused those…

Don Brown caused those problems with his desire to recruit DEs and then attempt to turn them into DTs.  His DB recruiting two years ago is going to bite us next.  Tall lanky slower DBs are not going to keep up with OSUs WRs.

Not sure where you got this…

Not sure where you got this take.  He did very little through four years of HS and shot 25% from HS 3 if I recall.  Broke out in AAU ball after his senior year and prep school.  Can't wait for Franz's to come back because Nunez is a liability on both ends of the court right now.

The one thing no one is…

The one thing no one is mention here is this is exactly the type of blindside hit that is trying to be legislated out of all football. If an offensive player blindside a defensive player like that it  would be a 15 yard penalty.

Couldn't Chase have just…

Couldn't Chase have just said NO! I guess since consequences for cheating at OSU are little to none he figured why not.  What did they get last time even though their head coach lied to the NCAA one scholarship and a one year bowl ban. Then they were compensated by the NCAA who allowed Urban to go out on the recruiting trail while Fickell coached the team in the bowl.

Going to need double digit attrition at 23.

Have to disagree.  There has been old rock.  Kiss- Rock and roll all night two games in a row (seriously), Seger, AC/DC, some 50s and 60s stuff just off the top of my head.  My main issue is its pretty much the same damn songs all the time.

Is that any worse than OUR cheerleaders chanting "Go Big Blue"?  We are not the NY Giants, IBM, or Kentucky.  Most probably can't hear it, but my tickets are in row 1 with the cheerleaders right in front of us.

You can't pull scholarships…

You can't pull scholarships from players unless they are not meeting their obligations in the classroom, on the field, or in the community.  If they aren't showing up for practice or rehab (if injured) that could be a reason.  If they just aren't meeting a coaches expectations the coach can try to convince them they should transfer to see playing time, but they can't just take away their scholarship.

You realize Gallon holds the single season record for receiving yards and is third all time right? Why did you choose him as your example?

He was a verified 5'11 212 lbs heading into his senior year of HS and his 40 wasn't very good though I'm not sure if that was updated or not.  I just don't see him playing safety in college. Just my opinion though.

4 of those 5 were against…

4 of those 5 were against two of the worst coaches in Michigan history.  Harbaugh has lost to them once at Kinnick, where we always struggle, in a game where our QB got hurt and we lost on a last second FG.  The stats you are referencing mean little to nothing, but thanks for cherry picking them.

You lost me at Ferentz is an excellent coach.  

They have more experience…

They have more experience playing DT than Ben Mason for crying out loud.  They are also much bigger.  If your going to tell me Mason is a better option at DT than either our development sucks or our talent evaluation sucks.  

You understand that they don…

You understand that they don't play in Don Brown's system right?

Mayfield was our best…

Mayfield was our best Olineman Saturday in only his third start.  He has gotten better each game this year. 

We are in Harbaugh's fifth year and our depth at certain positions is alarming. Moving a 240 FB going into true junior year to DT was a desperation move.  So instead of having a guy who proved last year he could play RB we have a undersized,extremely inexperienced DT who can't hold up in the run game. This move made them move BVS and Haskins back to offense.  BVS played in my kids conference so I saw him play twice and don't recall him playing RB in either game. He may have been a fit as a FB, but I don't see a place for him except on special teams.  Have no idea what Haskins brings as all I recall is him missing a blitz pickup his first play against MTSU leading to a sack and him not seeing the field again. I don't want to think about CB depth because if we have one injury I have no idea who would become our third CB and I am not on the Vince Gray hype train until I see him do it against a P5 team that can throw the ball.

My biggest hopes for Saturday is to see intensity from the team, a turnover free game, and some young guys play especially Dax, Hinton, and Mazi.

BVS isn't a RB and I don't…

BVS isn't a RB and I don't recall him playing the position in the two HS games I saw him play.  Is it the fumble, missed blocks, or the fact a 240 lb. RB tried to run away from MTSU's 200 lb. safety instead of running through him that makes you think he is?  He could run away from people in HS because he played in a really weak league. There is a reason BVS and Haskins were moved to D last season and I'm not sure they would have been moved back if we would have had more then two healthy scholarship backs for spring ball. Personally, I would rather have Mason back to his old weight as we at least have seen him play the position at this level instead of being wasted as an undersized, extremely inexperienced DT.

We don't know if Tru will be…

We don't know if Tru will be back for Saturday and Turner is coming off of concussion protocol.  BVS is not a RB and we have no idea if Haskins is either as both were moved to D last year.  Do you think they would have been moved back to O if we would have had more than two scholarship RBs for spring ball? This is making moving Mason to the DL where he is undersized and inexperienced look like a bad idea.  

Some people just have no…

Some people just have no clue.  If I was homeless I would be making my way to California because of the weather.  There is no place like it, but go ahead and blame it on the politicians.  If it wasn't for the taxes California pays Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi and other states won't be able to exist as they siphon money from the federal government.  You know those less educated, poor states that couldn't exist on their own.

Headed to Camp Randall for my first time.  Bought tickets from the Wisconsin site before the sellout.  Just want the experience and don't feel the need to among other Michigan fans.  Had a great time last year before the game with a bunch of Badger fans.  Hoping to find some for Penn St also as it is the last B1G stadium I really want to see.

Clemson plays #11 (A&M) and #22 (Cuse).  Quality schedule there. Oops I forgot to add Charlotte and Wofford.

He wasn't a good decision…

He wasn't a good decision maker in college and I just don't see him overcoming that. The Ravens better have a real good back up with a similar style. I thought the Chargers exposed him in the playoff game then backed off and allowed the Ravens to get back in the game.

Interesting choice of words…

Interesting choice of words with tribalism as I would have referred to them as a cult.  Went to PSU for a huge travel volleyball tournament two years ago memorial weekend.  The first thing handed to us upon arrival was a sheet on reporting suspected child abuse and I chuckled a little.  The person handing the packet out got snippy and asked what I was laughing about and I responded, a little late for this isn't it.  The town of State College has given permission for a life size statue of Paterno to be put up in town. Paterno continued to allow Sandusky to bring little boys to football practice even after he was no longer on staff. 

There is just something about Big 10 universities with the word "State" in them. Don't get me wrong, every university has issues, but the size of the problems and the way have been handled at these three have been atrocious.

They offered Max a 121 million dollar contract.  Max wanted more and to be the man not second fiddle to Verlander.  JV started his career here and was a fan favorite so it wasn't going to happen.  The Tigers didn't let Max go.

How much time have you spent at the hospital?  It would be extremely difficult to hang a noose without getting caught with all the foot traffic.  I can't recall one time in the last 2 1/2 years there that I have been in an area alone unless I was in a room waiting for the doctor or in a single person restroom.

Got a pair in DD row 23.  First Camp Randall experience.

The player getting more…

The player getting more money should be expected for a couple reasons.  MSU invited a banned player back to campus for a football camp and golf outing.  They even made his travel arrangements for him. Since MSU invited him back I would have to think he thought it was OK especially since he claims he never knew about the ban. This led to the story that got him cut from the Texans and he hasn't played in the league since. I'm not making a judgement on the original case, but MSU pretty much cost him his career by inviting him back despite him being banned. 

MSU never informed the girl that he was back on campus and she found out from friends who saw him on campus.  I'm not sure about the support issues.

The real question is how can an institution of higher learning hire so many incompetent people?

You realize almost half his…

You realize almost half his sacks were against FCS Maine along with almost 20% of his solos.  He had big tackle games against Toledo (7-6 game was over at half), EMU (7-6) and Ball State (4-8).  6 solos and 6 assist with no sacks in his 3 games against power 5 opponents. He also may have benefited from having two early entrant CBs (one that got drafted before Long) that locked down WRs.

He seems like a good athlete and should supply depth, but I honestly have no idea what to expect from him production wise.  Expecting him to be a beast may be wishful thinking.
