No need to search for a coach Josh Gattis is here.

 

  • The players know him

  • The Staff respects him

 

Sometimes you just need to take a chance

Then it should have happened in Florida over the summer when they were living fast and free.

 

What did Florida average 10,000 cases a week?

That Penn State doctor…

That Penn State doctor backtracked on the 33% number.  He never did any test, he "heard" it from other Doctors.  Then went to state not one athlete had myocarditis at Penn state.

 

https://sports.yahoo.com/big-ten-covid-19-positive-athletes-one-third-have-myocarditis-penn-state-doctor-164111708.html

 

Dr. Sebastianelli was asked by a local school board to discuss high school preparations and precautions for holding sporting events during the pandemic and the potential impact of COVID-19 on the health of student-athletes. During his discussion with board members, he recalled initial preliminary data that had been verbally shared by a colleague on a forthcoming study, which unbeknownst to him at the time had been published at a lower rate. The research was not conducted by Dr. Sebastianelli or Penn State. Dr. Sebastianelli wishes to clarify this point, and apologize for any confusion.

 

 

“Additionally, some have inferred his comments may have been related directly to Penn State student athletes. At this time, there have been no cases of myocarditis in COVID-19 positive student-athletes at Penn State. For questions related to the myocarditis study, please contact the study investigators.”

I am a software developer and while working from home is not hard, I have always preferred to go to the office.  I miss my co-workers and A2.  Business has been really good since we focus on retailers and online sales.

 

 

 

Venables defenses is not…

Venables defenses is not really worried about stats IMO.  We get too hung up on ranking on how good someone is as a coach.  DB defenses beat up on lesser teams and rack up the stats and looks good on paper.  The issue is when Venables plays a team with a pulse his defenses seem to make the plays and DB does not.  I think the difference is big plays, DB defenses gives up too many big plays against the better teams.  That's what I would like to see DB improve next year.  Giving an offenses 5-10 yds on 3rd and 20 is fine, we don't need a sack every 3rd and long, we need the ball back.  This is just my opinion.

Venables would do better…

Venables would do better than DB with Michigan talent IMO.  So yes I am telling you I think Venables > DB.

I love X's game, I love X's leadership, and I would love for him to coach my son someday.  For the love of god if the kid had a jump shot he would be NBA bound.

In the bowl game on a QB keep Shea got the first down and dove for it.  Nobody touched him, nobody was near him.  That run explains Shea's tenure at Michigan.

How about those who just want to replace Don Brown with someone who can stop or at least contain good teams?

DB scheme and it's been proven now for three years cannot get it done against teams with an above average passing game.  He's best defense was with Hoke players.  DB has not recruited at the talent level needed for his schemes.  

DB needs to go

Any first year QB makes mistakes, it's fact shea made the same ones over and over again.  Good luck to him with the NFL.

X is not the guy to take the…

X is not the guy to take the last shot or the guy I want with the ball.  He's a limited on what he can do on the offense.  He's not a threat for a jump shot or of the bounce jump shot.  So there are two options the defense does not have to account for.  DDJ, Franz or Livers are the ones to take the last shot.

X is a warrior and i love watching that kid play, but his lack of shooting cost him in this situation.

Have fun, I have found on Stub Hub they're two sweet spots.  Normally 24-16 hours before the game tickets will be low.  Also the last hour is a hit or miss, you can get some great deals.  What I do is set my price limit.  If I get them a week/day or hour before the game I am good.

Yet they don't beat anyone…

Yet they don't beat anyone really good and have not won a big ten title in 15 years.

This is out there and won't…

This is out there and won't be popular, but I can't stop thinking about getting Hoke back on this staff, perhaps a DL line coach.  He recruited Ohio really good and it was his recruits that gave Michigan the best chance to Beat OSU.  Maybe just a recruiting role for Hoke, but Don Brown is not getting the players we need to compete with OSU. 

That's not a reason to keep…

That's not a reason to keep someone FYI.  The next guy might do better or worse.  If it's worse than get the next guy.

What I do know is it's not just Ohio State Don Brown has trouble with, it's any team that is good on offense.  His schemes don't work against teams with a pulse.

Not having defense tackles…

Not having defense tackles is Don Browns fault.

Don Brown should be fired,…

Don Brown should be fired, his defense does not work against good teams.  I have 119 reasons why. 

It's just an excuse, our…

It's just an excuse, our coaching staff is one of the highest paid in NCAA Football.  Michigan is not paying that amount of money to be "out talented" every year.

It's simple, fire Don Brown…

It's simple, fire Don Brown.  He can't get it done, he's had 4 years.

Did Michigan get better from game one to game two?  That is a big YES!!!  I like what I am seeing on offense and defense was better the second half.   Keep it going Coach!!!!

Good point, I notice that also.

Johns did not have a huge…

Johns did not have a huge impact on the offensive side, but he was very good on the defense side of the ball.  Not sure he's getting his due on this point.

 

 

The reason for is simple and…

The reason for is simple and it has to due with Simpson.  He simple can't make a basket when the team needs one.  His poor shooting cost the team in these situations.  He has seem to move away from his hook shot.

 I was at the game and that was 30 mins of really good basketball, followed by the worst 10 min stretch I have ever watched.

Wow that was bad

Livers IS the best player on the team, from what I saw at the exhibition game on Friday.

 

The above is just my opinion.

I think most were talking about in game playing calling, not practice.  Harbaugh's play calling had become a bit predictable IMO.

I agree 100%, IMO it was Don Brown and his defense scheme getting caught in mismatches.

 

Really about two plays and an INT beat Michigan.

CTE is not about concussions…

CTE is not about concussions, FYI . That's what most parents don't get. 

I for one don't believe concussion rates in any sports, my son got pushed in soccer after a play, bounced his head off the ground going backwards.  They did the concussion test and he passed easy, they stated he was good to go.  1 hour later he is throwing up and can't even sit up his head hurts that bad.  In the ER and yep he has a concussion.

When we are talking about youth football 12 and under it's a different deal.  Every time they fall and their heads bounce off the ground those are all "blows" to the head.  I read a report where they put sensor in helmets.  A youth football game a player averages 60 sub-concussive blows a game.  Think about getting hit in the head 60 times.  

I supported the no heading in soccer for 12 and under.  As a ref if you took heading out you would eliminate majority of concussions in the game.  They happen when players go to head the ball and don't go straight up, girls are worst at this in soccer.

Everyone needs to make their own choice, my issue is there is not nearly enough information to make the choice today, we simple don't know.  Yes I played football and no I will not allow my son to play, simple because I don't know what the risk is today.

Yep and as a USSF I know this and have been yelled at about this rule, SOB.

Exactly, but CTE is linked to sub-concussive repeated blows, like heading a soccer ball over and over again.

 

I don't believe the football concussion rates at all, but we all have to decide if the risk is worth it for ourselves. 

I have always loved the …

I have always loved the "proper technique" line from football parents.  We have no idea what damage is being caused with youth playing any high contact sport.  When the top neurologist in the world state playing high contact sports is not good, I'll go with the neurologist, not a coaches wife.

 

After 13 is the age the neurologist seem to agree one can play.

What will sports fans watch when we have not refs?  That day in soccer is closer than most realize.

 

Any of you willing to pick up the whistle?
