Here's one from their blog that made me wonder. 

"TCU trips over more talent in a 50 yard radius that what you have in Ann Arbor. I think KSU is going to smoke Bama".

The portal is going to save this recruiting year.

I've been teaching for over…

I've been teaching for over 20 years and while the idea of catching this virus on my 56 year old body is scary, I don't worry much about catching Covid in the classroom. I will be careful as hell, but I am ready to give it a shot. My union did send me a survey gauging everyone's concern level. I think we have to try. If the teachers union freaks out on this one, I guess it's time to leave the teachers union. I've paid over $25,000 in dues in my career and I don't regret it. I just can't get behind saying its too scary when I get gas, pick up a Big Mac, and grocery shop. I couldn't look those people in the eye if I thought my job was "too dangerous". My .02

I'm literally in Florida now…

I'm literally in Florida now to visit my Dad. I went to pick up lunch at a bar/restaurant, and I was the only person wearing a mask. Many of them looked like I was from a different planet. My hands are almost raw from washing after going in there. They are nuts.

Fun to watch speed in space…

Fun to watch speed in space. In today's game, space was almost everywhere!

This was the speed in space…

This was the speed in space I was expecting at the beginning of the season. It looks like we will be tough to stop the rest of the way. 

Got it. Makes sense, thanks.

I'm beginning to understand why other people hate our fan base. 

Would it get me some upvotes…

Would it get me some upvotes if you knew I was Ryan Hayes pitching coach and I urged him to go to play for Michigan for two years? He was initially a heavy MSU-ND lean. I only need 9,800 upvotes.

10,000 points to get better content? Looks like I need to get busy before I miss out on everything!

I did it when I got divorced…

I did it when I got divorced. The notion of paying child support to two different women was not going to be in the cards for me. I drove there, got snipped, and drove home. Not a big deal at all. Just do exactly what the doctor says (put a bag of corn or peas on your nuts for 48 hours). Pissing the first time scared the hell out of me, but it was a nothingburger. Easy peasy. Go get it done.

Bellomy to Bass. I remember…

Bellomy to Bass. I remember watching Antonio Bass play Traverse City West his senior year. I think the kid has 2-300 yards rushing and maybe 5 touchdowns. The Jackson offense consisted of QB keepouts out of a wingT set. Fastest kid I ever saw in high school. 

After I tell everyone to get…

After I tell everyone to get off my lawn, I just have to say the idea of having a 5 year old throwing a tantrum "in fun" is not a great look. Go ahead and neg away if you wish, but I loved the mound visit. Why in the world would you teach a little kid to throw bats and balls on the field? I know, just get off my lawn.

While the legal proceedings…

While the legal proceedings are over, I think the effect of this ruling is only beginning.

First, recruiting is going to suffer. The negative recruiting will reach a likely all time high. I believe the days of a top 3 class are essentially over. Yes he will still get his share of 5 stars, but not as many as before. This will take a toll eventually. Conversely the wall around Ohio will get  higher as Urban will need to fill his classes with fewer elite kids and get some higher ranked Ohio kids who may have slipped through the cracks. A ripple of this will hurt sparty for sure as the buckeyes will take some of their recruits. 

Second is the reaction from rival fan bases. When OSU has a gameday on the road, the signs will be absolutely epic. The public shaming will continue as long as he is a coach, and it could effect his "heart" again over time. When the buckeyes have away games in the B1G, I have to believe he will be roasted time and again. This will wear on him, and it should. 

Third, is Michigan could easily win this year. They have been painfully close the last two years and probably should have won both. Lets watch their fan base react when their savior isn't beating UM on the regular. 

At the end of the day, the OSU community has to live with this forever. Most are delusional for sure, but the shaming has just begun. Personally I think Michigan is going to beat the bucks this year and I see Harbaugh turning the tide. Karma is a bitch and Urban Liar is about to feel the wrath tenfold compared to what happened in Gainesville. 

 

A bluetooth speaker so he…

A bluetooth speaker so he can jam at practice ;-) My guess is some sort of virtual reality camera so the coaching staff can break down what the QB sees as he goes through his progressions.

Can't believe he took the…

Can't believe he took the bait and bashed Michigan in any way. The way he played vs. Ohio State was beyond horrible and Harbaugh had his back all the way. Crazy.

I couldn't agree more. This…

I couldn't agree more. This is a football blog, definitely a sports blog that has the "OT" classification. Think about it man, if everyone wanted to get rid of their Back Street Boys tickets out the last minute the football blog turns into a craft buy and sell. While you're reading this and wondering where I am coming from, I have some snow tires for sale. My son outgrew his wrestling shoes as well maybe you want to buy them? 

Nasty

 The fact that Warriner looks for checking the nasty box first makes me smile.

Surprised Betsy

Didn't promote a charter school down the road. In this case, it would be a serious upgrade.

10 wins is the floor

IDGAF how hard the schedule is. Every single weakness has been addressed from the offensive line to a major upgrade at the QB position. Good luck covering Tarik, DPJ etc with Shea buying extra time.

Castroviejo

Pretty muich sums it up. I read it  before, and when it sunk in the reality of Newsome never playing again hit me and I've accepted it. Wish the kid the very best. Class act and will be successful in life no question. 

Watched it all

1.) Harbaugh is an excellent coach on the field; practice or game. He challenges players who are not cutting it, and was outstanding with his talks after loss after loss. He is a fighter without question. Off the field, he is a goof for sure. I see him as an excellent teacher with the lesson for the center as an example. 

2.) Don Brown is one of the top coaches (Head Coach or Assistant) in college football. We are lucky to have him, and I don't see him going anywhere until he retires. 

3.) O'Korn lost me when he got after Gentry with his horrible throw. He never helped us all season except the Purdue game. His teammates often didn't respond quickly or with any enthusiasm when he tried to inspire them. I don't think he was well liked. The same is true for Speight. Wilton is clueless of his performance. 

4.) Loved the stories of Higdon, Newsome, the friendships of DPJ and Black, Evans and Higdon and the great personality of Chase Winovich. Chase definitely loves college and if I watched this before he made his decision to stay, I would not have worried so much. 

5.) Rashan Gary is a great kid, and I enjoyed getting to know him as a person through this show.

6.) I was disappointed more than half the defense was basically ignored. Hudson, Hill and Long at the least should have gotten some facetime. 

It's been a while since New Years Day, but I'm amazed how close we were to a 10 win season. Yes, the Indiana game could have gone the other way, but that is the only game that fell into that category. QB play was horrible from the first snap to the end of the season. 

The defense is going to be absolutley lethal next season. If we get a solid game manager, we win 10 games. If we get Shea this year, we could be in the playoffs. 

 

 

All I know is

We needed vastly improved QB play: Check the box with Shea

We needed a new offensive line coach: Check the box with Warriner

We needed to invigorate our strength and conditioning: Check the box with Herbert

We needed an upgrade on offensive tackles: Very hopeful with Warriner. 

Bottom line to me is if Shea is eligible and stays healthy, it could be a magical season!

 

Pathetic

Took 15 minutes to tell us what usually takes 2 minutes to reveal. Probably won't see the brackets until Tuesday at this rate. I found out that Ohio State, Sparty and Purdue made the tournament! 

Way to steal his moment Mom

I had a crazy fantasy of a stud left tackle taking care of the blindside, but maybe Hudson or Newsome will step up?

First World Problems

Took me 4 seconds 

Good Hire

Very happy for the future!

Not sure who Biellen is but

I think you get the drift...

Defense

Maybe the best defensive team in the Biellen era?

Pieces are coming together

Warriner at analyst is a waste. This HAD to happen, and I am more and more optimistic. Hopefully we get Patterson eligible and we are contenders!

Please

We are so overdue to get a player that could fill this desperate need. We can have nice things? Please?

Zach Gentry

Was recruited as a QB, but I doubt he got serious consideration at the position. I don't think it's a new paradigm to tell a kid he can play the position he wanted to play in HS and when it does not pan out the staff moves him where he can best help the team. If Hayes can run fast enough (I don't think he can), he will play TE, if not I do believe this kid could be a stud LT in a couple years. 

Not happening

I thought this ship sailed with Frey? Am I wrong?

Slot fade

When I saw this, the only thing that makes sense is a "slot fade" specialist. I guess this pickup doesn't make a lot of sense if he isn't just that.

If we could

To get two of the three: Nick Petit-Frere, Friday and Patterson would be great. All 3 would be amazing. Can't remember who was the last 5 star LT we signed. 

Hudson

Looks to be the LT of the future, I have to believe the oline will take a jump next year. 

Looks like a solid hire

Transformation or something like that is his claim to fame. 

Don't sleep on Peters

He is just scratching the surface and I feel is far ahead of Shea. In any scenario Michigan should be all set with QB play from here on out. I like our chances for next season.

Ben Mason 2.0

I just did a quick 24/7 search and in the last 3 years there has only been 1 4-star fullback and zero 5-star fullbacks. This is an excellent get for Michigan. Very happy with this development. 

Do we need another TE?

I'm way more concerned with losing Friday.

Shift in emphasis?

We don't have a great running game. We have an amazing array of talented receivers. Is it possible Harbaugh is going to air it out more this year? 

I get it, but

I remember watching Lou Holtz talk about Michigan before Notre Dame played them, and every time after he got done talking I was convinced Michigan would win by 35 and be in National Championship contention.

He did redshirt at Michigan

I'm pretty sure it was due to an injury. I think he could apply for a medical redshirt and be the next 6-year guy if approved. Not sure if the kid deserves Ed Davis 6 year luck, but the possibility exists.
