For those who may not be familiar, the WPIAL — Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League — is one of the best high school football leagues in the country. Toughness, physicality, and grit are prerequisites if you are going to compete in that league. Moreover, Central Catholic is a historic powerhouse that produces great players. This is a great pick up. Welcome, Cole. Go Blue and Go WPIAL!
Many, if not all, prognosticators didn't give Michigan much of a chance all season (i.e., 6-6, 7-5). Now here we are, 10-1 with everything on the line on Saturday. GO BLUE!
I live in the same apartment complex as this dude. Believe me when I say that he fits the comparison that Harbaugh makes, at least from a physical standpoint. I would love to see him in practice.
I am certainly opposed to back-to-backs, but apparently the Big Ten is considering it. I, for one, believe that the Big Ten should just scrap the Big Ten Tournament in favor of completing the regular season and crowning a legitimate regular season champion. However, there is too much money at stake. I doubt that course of action is taken by the commissioner.
Assuming this is a matter of giving the team a week to reacclimate and condition, I am a proponent of this decision. The upcoming stretch is going to be challenging, as the schedule is backloaded. Furthermore, there are reports that the Big Ten is considering back-to-backs if necessary. One additional week off to prepare for the most important stretch of the season should prove to be beneficial.
I received my letter of acceptance to the University of Michigan in the second week of 2020. Suffice it to say the start of the year was emphatically positive for me. Furthermore, my family and I stayed healthy throughout the year. I consider myself blessed.
I hate how the broadcasters brought light to this. How facetious of them to bring this up as “news that will shake the maize and blue nation.” I was anticipating the worst of news.
I move in on Wednesday. As thrilled as I am, I have had to temper some of my excitement given the current circumstances. I am just hoping to have the opportunity to meet some people and have a good time this semester while adhering to all guidelines established for us. It will be different, but I’ll be in Ann Arbor, and that fills me with so much joy. Go Blue!
People are dying in my community, and there is still a profound sense of negligence. I am afraid that this virus is going to consume this county and many other communities across the country because some people simply do not care, and that is tragic.
I work for a pet food/lawn & garden center on a part-time basis, and I have made some disconcerting observations over the course of the last couple of weeks. Being a feed store, we have been deemed an essential business. However, we are still selling many non-essential items. I live in Beaver County, PA—a county that consists of the second oldest population in the United States. Our customer base is primarily made up of individuals over the age of 50 who shop for non-essential items such as seeds for birds and lawn supplies. The general lack of awareness and, frankly, carelessness exhibited by some of these individuals is astounding. They are willing to jeopardize their health, the health of their loved ones, and the health of myself and my coworkers in order to obtain a 10lb bag of sunflower seeds. Some people have even admitted that they came to the store simply to get out of the house and buy something. I am not naïve to the extent that I believe this is only occurring in Beaver County. I know this is happening across the country, and people are wondering why we have stay at home orders and other policies in place to prevent community spread. If we want to return to relative normalcy anytime soon, people have to learn to heed the advice that has been given and stay home. I was set to start school in the spring at U-M; however, that has been delayed until the fall. Witnessing such poor, careless behavior first-hand is very discouraging, especially considering my school situation is in flux with no definitive start time. This is a most solemn situation, and although I am grateful to be working I am disappointed with how some are handling this pandemic, especially those who are most vulnerable.
Those are two of the best collegiate basketball games I have seen, regardless of the fact that Michigan was playing. Actually, just watch the entirety of that year’s tournament with the exception of the last game. By the way, Trey blocked that shot.
HAHA, that’s pretty good. In reality there is no female influencing my decision other than my beloved mother. I will be deciding between Michigan and the George Washington University. I am pursuing a career in diplomacy, and the opportunities at GW are nearly unparalleled based on the school’s location (Washington D.C.). However, it will break my heart to walk away from Michigan.
Holly Rowe just called Carlo Kemp "Carlos Kemp" and referred to Jim Harbaugh as "John Harbaugh." I'm just here to tell you all how much I dislike ESPN.
Eli Brooks has definitely been working on his shot. If he can become even a semblance of a threat from the three point line, that would benefit this team exponentially.
That’s why I’m skeptical. From what I understand he loves wrestling, and Harbaugh has told him he can do both at Michigan. However, he will need to gain weight to play football while he will be asked to lose/maintain weight for wrestling. Should be interesting to see what he ultimately decides to do.
I know someone who teaches at Southern Columbia, the school Gaige attends. Gaige is a beast, possibly a better wrestler. Southern Columbia is one of the top teams in the entire state of Pennsylvania, and it is the same school top-5 recruit Julian Fleming (Ohio St. commit) attends. Gaige is a standout on that team, but he may end up focusing on wrestling even though Harbaugh told him he could do both. Will be interesting to see how he develops if/when he gets to Ann Arbor.

I have one ticket that I would be more than willing to pass to a Michigan fan for a reasonable, negotiated price.
edit: ticket gone

Mden at Briarwood Mall had some 2020 ones on sale last I was there, which was a couple of weeks ago.
edit: I should add that the 2020 coins featured the original schedule, not the pandemic-altered schedule

I feel blessed to be here with everyone tonight. GO BLUE!
Jim said on College GameDay that our first game is October 24, so I’d say the chances of a Friday game are nil.
Looks like an October 24 start date.

I apologize to all for repeating what was stated in the post prior to mine. Evidently I was in the midst of typing as the other post was submitted.

Would you mind elaborating? I am trying to gather as much insight as I can. Thanks.
Thank you so much for your input. It means a lot to me for you to take the time to provide your perspective.
I live about 30 minutes north of Pittsburgh, PA.
God Bless, my friend. I am glad I could provide solace. As I have learned in the relatively short span of my life, things will improve.

Nico Collins beast mode
the recruiting services give five stars for a reason. TD DPJ!

They showed the handshake on the screen in the stadium. Jim gave him a nice pat on the back.
I am very familiar with that crowd, and I am one of the people who elicit that response. I will never join the mob. STAND UP, GET LOUD!
Eli Brooks has definitely been working on his shot. If he can become even a semblance of a threat from the three point line, that would benefit this team exponentially.
I will be attending the MSU and OSU games with a broken jaw and wired mouth. Go Blue!
