This post and the donation drive can be a bit of a reminder that, while there can be rough comment threads after some rough games, there are also thousands of lurkers on MGoBlog who are reading it religiously and only stay quiet until you need something back from us.
Thanks for the many years of quality articles while I've been lurking.
For those who got here late, this post originally a different picture of Harbaugh photoshopped as a maize-and-blue Catholic bishop. Looks like it's been updated.
"That defense won't fly for incidents from the 70s and 80s, leaving us choosing between two possibilities: several people are lying in depositions or Joe Paterno enabled Sandusky for decades. What's the Vegas line here? I know the latter is a serious underdog."
Can someone explain this to me? What makes it more probable that several people are lying in sworn testimony than the chance of Paterno being self-consistent over the years? Or am I misunderstanding Brian's take on an "underdog"?
I can almost guarantee it's that color because that slide was produced by Bain & Company as consultants. That font and red color is their signature and red always means "good" on their slides, while neutral or graytones are meant to be overlooked.
*edit: although now that I follow the links I see that Nielsen has that graph on their report but, dang, that graphs smacks of Bain's style.
Is anyone else getting a kick out of the improvement of Dakich? He's completely turned around from a liability to a hustle player who can spark the team with active hands on the defensive side of the court. He's also not going to put up a lot of points, but his ability to distribute is not a negative on this team where a good pass can make up for our lack of ability to slash to the hoop (MAAR excluded).
So Harbaugh OFFERed when he should have offered and now those OFFERs are turning back into offers and the formerly-OFFERed players are ticked OFF that their offer was an OFFER when it should have been an offer. Makes perfect sense to me.
I'm a bit confused on what's considered "over-offering". To the best of my ability to figure it out, this year Indiana offered 71 players, Northwestern offered 117, MSU offered 178, OSU offered 181, Michigan offered 232, and Nebraska offered 277. For comparison, Alabama offered 263. Hasn't every single school listed over-offered?
What is the difference between over-offering and avoiding bad press, besides the amount of interest that the players give back to the school?
The one awkward piece about Doyle's play was his full-contact hedging on screens. The announcers mentioned that drawing contact while hedging on a screen is a new point of emphasis for the officials, but it looked like nobody told Doyle yet since he took (at least) two pointless fouls that way.
Should be a quick fix, but it did perplex me that it wasn't something he already had incorporated into his play.

Any chance Dave or Alex will get to sub in when people go missing in the future? They always bring a lot of substance to MGoDiscussion.

My workaround has been to use the direct download link on my phone. Let the whole podcast download and just don't close the window.
Good. I'm glad this is the consensus and that sanity still reigns supreme in the universe.

Looks to me like if you get an Indiana and a Michigan, then smash them together, you will in fact have achieved greatness.
We clearly need to create a football-specific BMI pseudo-stat to figure out if more weight is good weight or bad weight.

Should make for a great "Hello" post.

Anytime I feel the need to get angry about something that happened 5 years ago, I turn to JUB's books.
