Shhh, the national narrative was that Michigan could only pound the rock - just like the glory days of Bo / 3 yards and a cloud of dust. That's what Michigan is and will always be! Let's not let little details like JJ was an excellent passer and we blew out so many teams that we didn't need to pass, disrupt this narrative.
Attaboy! What you so admirably ommunicated is that what really matters here is the pure joy of competition: Two team fought valiantly, the Leafs won, and now there will be a game 7.
I think he should follow the George Costanza "opposite" playbook. Since everything Ferentz did as a OC turned out wrong, his analysis should be, "here's what I would do in that situation so let's do the opposite."
How about: "2023 - 2024 US Tour". Then list all the games with the scores. Next to Alabama put "Rose Bowl" next to the score, and next to WA's score put NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.
Based solely on your post, I'm not sure how you got to 19,590 points but everyone is entitled to a bad day, I guess. I must say, your username definitely checks out.
It is good to see Juwan take the high road. I think everyone very much wanted him to succeed and I am glad he didn't burn any bridges on the way out the door.
I am not sure how to get the horse back in the barn other than allow the athletes to be designated employees, permit them to unionize, and get a collectively bargained deal negotiated.
JJ won a Natty and only lost one game as a starter. He made, and has the ability to make, all the plays. GM's who pass him up in the draft, do so at their peril.
We all knew that everyone steals signs. Well, everyone but Little Tony Pettiti who handled the worst scandal in the history of the Big Ten.
What we did not know (or at least I didn't) until Klatt reported it in video was that the coaches wanted to keep signs so that they could steal other's signs. That's a whole new level of gamesmanship I wasn't aware of. I assumed coaches would be happy to get rid of signs once it was feasible for everyone.
Multiple ankle sprains here from soccer. I would recommend doing two-legged toe raises, they're good for the calf and strengthen the ankles. 3 sets of 15. Use a stair to get full range of motion. Once your ankle is strong enough, go to one-legged toe raises. If you have elastic bands, I would also use those to exercise both outward and inward motions.
While the first 24 - 48 hours are the best time for ice, if you have swelling, I would ice it 10 - 15 each evening.
If toe-raises / elastic bands are too difficult, I would probably see a doc (who will likely recommend PT after an X-ray.)
Hey Little Tony, would you like to put your conviction to the test? Come on up to Michigan for the first home game of the 2024 season and address the crowd.
I'm not sure I understand Warde's math. You pay Sherrone roughly half (give or take) what you offered Jim. The assistant coaches' salary pool is unchanged. Isn't there an embedded savings in that scenario? Could not more have been added to the assistant coaches' pool of funds with that savings?
Well done, OP! I loved the end zone shot of Donovan Edwards sprinting across the line of scrimmage on his 2nd TD run in the Natl Championship game. JJ already has his arm raised celebrating the TD about to happen.
Dabo signed a $115mm contract extension in 2022 through 2031. It has a $7.5mm buy-out if he goes to Bama. That's some serious coin for Bama to negotiate.
Don't forget that widdle tiny sparty was very very concerned its widdle tiny players would get injured in the game against Michigan because of the sign stealing. "Petite Tony, please cancel the game. Protect us. Save us."
Alex, thank you for your work! I've been awaiting your FFFF's the last 2 days. Excellent break-downs. What is your score prediction after all your analysis?
7 (Baseline 5, +1 for we have a better running attack, +1 for our defense and defensive scheme, -1 for Penix and their receivers, -1 for this is a bowl game, sort of, +1 for defensive line are beasts, +1 for this team just finds a way).
Going 2nd has also been advanced on the theory that should the game still be tied after the first OT, the team-going-first's defense will need to stay on the field on consecutive series, thereby rendering them more tired. Meanwhile, the team-going-2nd's defense would've had an extended rest. Theoretically, then, this should tip the scales to the team-going-2nd in a 2nd OT.
The fallacy in this thinking is if the game is a Michigan - Alabama Rose Bowl, Milroe gets stuffed on 4th down and Michigan wins in the first OT.

He got a ring even though he transferred, right?

I'm not even sure why Lewan went there. It just goes to show that not all who go to Michigan are a Leader or a Best.
Of all the players I loved on last year's team, Mikey was my personal favorite.
Agree 100%
JJ won us a Natty. I have no intention of posting bad stuff about him, even if the purpose is to call out the bad reporting.
Nice call on the 2019 ND game! Interesting trivia point: The leading receiver for Michigan in that game? Mike Sainristil.
I have several UConn friends and they are fairly annoying. I would prefer they aren't able to chirp. So, anyone but UConn.

This is the biggest scandal in the history of the SEC!
This is a crazy race and an amazing accomplishment.
Antietam and Fredricksburg

I'm glad Calipari lost but KY would have to pay him $33 million to leave. That's a lot of bourbon.

This 100%. Also, the B1G stood idle when it came to demanding home play-off games, at least until this latest expansion.
JJ "lacks a plus arm"? What am I missing here? I thought that was a strength of his.
Let's get Tony Pettiti on the job here. Is this possibly the new worst scandal in the history of the Big 10?
Exactly right. About the only thing to add would be the question, "In regards to NIL, have you done your part to help us keep those we want to keep?"

I've had several lawyers tell me that when going to court, "even when they are 100% certain they will win, they are only 75% certain they will win."
Craig Ross is being overly optimistic.
This is priceless!
It does feel premature. I'm still basking in 34-13.
I gotta hand it to JJ, that's one beautiful puppy he got himself there (to go along with a beautiful fiancee.)

Agree. I kept waiting for a couple of these plays to surface given how much UW was loading the box in the 2nd and 3rd quarters.
I don't think DeBoer is planning to come in and run Saban's scheme.
Michigan was undefeated National Champions after both games with a Rose Bowl Trophy also added to their collection!
And here I thought THE Triefecta was beating OSU (for our MI victory), beating Bama in the Rose Bowl, and beating Washington to win the Natty.
Dabo signed a $115mm contract extension in 2022 through 2031. It has a $7.5mm buy-out if he goes to Bama. That's some serious coin for Bama to negotiate.
I have to admit, I chuckled at the "the team is huddling again, cheaters" line with a look at the Michigan fans.
2024's home schedule is as good as 2023's was bad. Impressive!
Vlad: Where can I make that into a T-Shirt with the caption, "America's Team"?

The B1G can kiss our asterisk.

Thaw fair caught the ball, didn't he?
Did the $100k match from the generous donor from yesterday show up?
Let's give Ono an extension along with Harbaugh.

Yes, tough news. But Makari Paige will play, which is important.
I hate the fact that I'm starting to like Cowherd.
