I tried inserting a gif of people dancing the Charleston but failed miserably.  No idea how to do it.  I uploaded the jpg file but all I got was a box in the text window with "HTML object" inside the box.

Harbaugh is in the discussion for sure.

In the linked article, Chris Trapasso says Sainristil has good, not amazing tackling.  How do you say you barely watched Mike Sainristil play without actually saying you barely watched him play?  Mikey was probably the best tackler on the #1 defense.  The fuck?

I have a ton of respect for…

I have a ton of respect for Nick Saban and his accomplishments.  Were there recruiting shenanigans and pay for play before NIL?  Probably.  But as we know, to win a championship you need everyone playing together as a team.  And he was winning championships with significant coaching turnover year after year.  That's not easy.  He's probably the greatest college football coach of all time and it's well deserved.

Michael Barrett at #240 is…

Michael Barrett at #240 is incredible value.  The winningest Michigan football player ever will be a serviceable player in the NFL.

"They tried to count us out. Too bad they can't count."

"We're not in the talking business. We're in the ass-kicking business — and business is BOOMIN'! Let's go!"

I applaud the college…

I applaud the college gameday crew for their nice work on covering the NFL draft.  Their coverage has been entertaining with some really solid analysis.  Desmond, Kirk, Reece and Saban are really good.  It's not perfect -- they talked over Roman Wilson's selection for one.  But I'd rather listen to the people that cover and know college football than listen to the NFL-centric guys such as Kiper, Schefter, etc.

Yes!  Bob Cole and Keith Jackson are on the Mt Rushmore of announcers.

Is JJ that much smaller than Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen?  Critics are finding any way they can to knock JJ down.

My take is poor damn…

My take is poor damn Sherrone Moore has had a ton to deal with the past few months, from being named HC to rebuilding half of a coaching staff to NCAA penalties to OWIs.  Now with real football stuff he has his work cut out in developing his QB room and then planning an offense around not JJ.

Sherrone is earning every penny of his salary.

How damn good are the freshmen for BC?  I count three of them that could be playing in the NHL right now.

This season is a bit of a cinderella story even making the Frozen Four.  Last season was the lost opportunity.  Should've won it all with that loaded team.

An all world big man can…

An all world big man can take you a long way but elite guards really make the team hum.

Football and basketball are…

Football and basketball are two different worlds and I like Matt Painter.  A good friend of mine went to Purdue, they are B1G and it would be great for the B1G to win national championships in football and basketball in the same season.  I will be supporting Purdue on Monday night but UConn is really good.  If Purdue wins then they would've certainly earned every bit of it.  Besides, Purdue has been embarrassed the past few years as a high seed getting beat by a low seed.  They really need this one.

That was my question as well…

That was my question as well.  But as I Google the topic it looks like the typical recovery time for an NFL player is 9 to 12 months.  So yeah, it would be wishful thinking to believe Rod Moore would make it back during the regular season.  Playoffs?  Maybe.

It really sucks for sure.

I appreciate TWill at least hanging around to feel out the new coaching regime.  Good luck young man!

Ben Herbert and I have…

Ben Herbert and I have similar obsessions.  The embossed words on the plates all need to be aligned and stacked neatly.  Likewise, the labels on the cans in my pantry all need to be facing outward.  Unfortunately, that is where the similarities between Ben and I end.

Some notes I've taken on Penix throughout the years:

Size is just about right

Loses composure when pulling out of the pocket

Fires medium range ropes and typically hits his target

I listen to "Basketball and…

I listen to "Basketball and Beyond" hosted by Coach K on college sports radio on Sirius.  For all his accolades and achievements he is a pretty humble guy.  Always respectful to his guests and co-hosts.  I don't understand the hatred towards him.

I will add Dusty May to the likeable list.

I don't think Pete Rose…

I don't think Pete Rose betting on games as a manager should detract from his specific accomplishments as a baseball player for which he is being judged for inclusion in the Hall.  Pete Rose should be in the HoF.  You can put an asterisk or footnote on it for all I care but his baseball accomplishments are HoF worthy.

In other words, "I wonder…

In other words, "I wonder what the poor folks are up to?"

A rolling stone gathers no moss.

I liked Dusty's demeanor and…

I liked Dusty's demeanor and his answers to the questions.  He carries himself well.  The thing that struck me over the past couple days since the news broke was how everyone likes him and has only good things to say about him.  It's not easy to be THAT well liked.

I am a fan and want him to succeed in a big way here, not just for Michigan of course, but for himself.

I will always like anyone…

I will always like anyone who loves Michigan as much (or more than) as I.  Juwan had issues and was ultimately over his head as coach, but nobody is perfect and I applaud that he gave his all to try to make Michigan better.  Not everything has a fairy tale ending.

I love all the pre-shot…

I love all the pre-shot offensive motion -- screens, picks, passing, etc -- that I am seeing in those video clips.

Yeah, people can write books…

Yeah, people can write books and make documentaries/movies about the 2023 Michigan football team.  The story perfectly writes itself, no extra drama needed.  It has to be one of the most fascinating college football stories of all time.

That said, the embarrassment of riches enjoyed by the SEC is ridiculous.

Took me a minute to think of who this guy reminded me of...but at least Kinison was entertaining.

I really like this hire.  Warde - you done good.

Very nice win!  I hope you…

Very nice win!  I hope you put a lot on that parlay bet!  In 15 years of sports betting, I've won a 6-team twice and an 8-team once.  They don't come around often, for me anyway.

The 8-team parlay that I won paid like +26000.  But I only put $1.50 on it and won about $392.  I wish I put $100 on it, in hindsight of course.

Michigan basketball has never been in worse shape than it is now.  This program needs a head coach and a blessing.

Buyout is $1.5M.  I'll go away if they pay me that.  No hassle.  So $1.5M salary and then $1.5M buyout to equal $3M total.  Worry free.  I'll go away and they'll never hear from me again, promise.  If they wanna talk, I am willing to listen.

I will gladly accept the…

I will gladly accept the head coaching job of the University of Michigan basketball team and I'll do it for a measly $1.5 million.  Take it or leave it.  I'll get shit canned, probably mid-season or earlier, but I would save the AD a heap of money.  And probably set the program back a little.  But the money saved would be (might be but probably not) worth it.

I take absolutely no joy in…

I take absolutely no joy in this but I completely understand and agree with it.  It was the right thing to do.  I loved Juwan Howard the player but it was apparent that he was in over his head as head coach as Beilein's guys and culture slowly left the program.

Fair points.  But at least…

Fair points.  But at least he would also be aware that Craig James killed five hookers.

This blog provides opinion on the M basketball culture almost daily, and it's free.  Warde could've saved a shit ton of money just by visiting MGoBlog.

There is some missing information.  Assuming a right cylinder of 8 inch diameter and 2 inch height, the answer is 150.8 sq in.

Truer words have never been spoken.  The ratio of pie, or cake for that matter, to ice cream is 1:3 or even 1:4.  The pie (apple or some type of berry) must be warm and the ice cream must be vanilla.  Substitutes = none.

These are exactly my…

These are exactly my thoughts.  After the first handful of games I thought for sure this was an upper half of the B1G and NCAA tournament team.  I can't help but think the internal strife between Howard and Sanderson severely impacted Howard and the team.  The team started going backwards, things snowballed when key guys got injured and Howard couldn't or didn't know how to turn it around, and then the whole thing crashed and burned in a big way.

Just one more game to suffer…

Just one more game to suffer through and it'll be over.  I guess I can't even classify this as suffering when you know the outcome is going to be a double digit loss.  Negative expectations are the norm this season.  Last season as well.  Apathy is in the house.

This is my first time…

This is my first time watching the team in probably a month or more.  Same shit, different game.  There is 14:40 left in the second half and Michigan is down 16 points.  Awful defense, awful offense.  Why am I watching this?

JJ has all the upside…

JJ has all the upside potential.  And he is a battle tested competitor that knows how to win, has an incredible W/L percentage, and makes the plays necessary TO win.  He plays within his role but can open it up when needed.  He can run and throw with accuracy.  He is mobile with elite speed.  He routinely dissected collegiate defenses and much more often than not made the right decisions with the ball.

I would take JJ in a heartbeat if I was an NFL team.  He and Caleb Williams are in a category by themselves.  Drake Maye and Daniels are in the next tier down.

These scouts appear to be…

These scouts appear to be highly guarded against giving high ratings for fear of said player being average, or a bust, and an NFL team wasting big money in the process.

I never understood the draw to snowboarding.  I am a lifelong skier and I find it easier and more enjoyable, especially when falling down.

I love Mammoth Mtn.  Been there several times.  If you can catch a snow storm during your visit you will be knee or sometimes hip deep in powder.  That area is a snow magnet.

You're not the only one.  I don't bet against Michigan ever except for today.  Crap-ola all around.

Yep, apathy has set in.  Apathy and BPONE.  Is BPONE reserved only for football because it may apply to basketball right now.
