Haha very similar. Grew up in Ohio, born in the mid 80s. All I knew was fuck Ohio State. Traveled a little bit when I became an adult and could afford things and had some guy see me shirt and say Go Green! I proceeded to say who in the hell are you rooting for when you say that? He was so offended 1) I didn’t know that was a Michigan State thing, and 2) that I couldn’t care less about that school. Go Blue, fuck Ohio State… all that mattered
Heard that too. Came across this story a couple months ago… I had always disliked him until reading about him. Just gotta take a minute sometimes to remember most fans are just normal people at the end of the day… the vocal minority always seems to be the problem for every fan base
Is the O-line really one of their biggest problems? Shedeur holds the ball f o r e v e r... so naturally he's going to take more sacks. Utah, 4th in the PAC 12 in sacks only had 2 against Colorado the last game... Shedeur didn't play that game. Not saying it's a coincidence, but I don't think their O-line is as big of a problem as Coach Sanders would hope it is.
Valid point. Not that I agree, but I can see the argument in that. At the end of the day, I would absolutely hate to be apart of the selection committee last night and today. Picking a top 4 is going to piss off 50% of the country, and then ranking 3 and 4 will piss off another large group.
If you look at what my "should" and "will" rankings are... then you'll see I left the SEC out. So I'm not really sure what you're arguing here. My statement at the end just explains why OSU is to blame for the SEC (in my opinion deserved) benefit of the doubt. Look at my whole post, though, and you'll see I think the SEC SHOULD get left out of the CFP.
3. FSU (I know this is controversial.. but if we say they're in over 1 loss Alabama, then they shouldn't be dropped behind 1 loss Texas)
4. Texas

I would like to say… while the SEC love by everyone is annoying, it’s kind of deserved 1 and 2, we can all blame OSU for getting the ball rolling. OSU got whooped by Florida and LSU in back to back years which started the run of SEC domination. It always comes back to a resounding fuck osu
At the end of the day, it's a game. Fuck OSU, but I'm sure all of us know terrible OSU AND Michigan fans. Day did a respectable thing, at least give him that. We can hate him for every other thing he does related to football.
Who cares how they (likely OSU) got the info. If we cheated then so be it... we all know everyone is trying to steal signs, but we had a coach not happy with losing act like a limp-wristed sissy (no I'm not calling him homosexual... I mean it as weak) and tell the NCAA. Let's say fuck you and just continue to drag him and his teams faces through the mud like we have the past 2 seasons
Fuck MSU. But also to their credit, pretty much everyone replying to that shank comment thread said that guy was a loser for saying something like that
For what it's worth.. I was reading an article yesterday that said high school catchers and pitchers are usually the players to avoid in the early rounds of the draft since so many of them don't pan out.
If you’re up for a little bit further drive, Maumee Bay State Park Golf Course is a fun course in northwestern Ohio. It’s about an hour drive from Ann Arbor. Haven’t played it in years, but have always loved that course.
As much as I hate the saying "living rent free in your head", this post perfectly explains that. Who really cares if a commit for OSU is taking official visits? We've beat them CONVINCINGLY two years in a row and we're still making posts about a commit not even decommitting, but taking other visits. Can you imagine having a rival classmate in high school and when his girlfriend hangs out with another guy, you get that excited about it that you go post on a social forum? We have a really good team, let's focus on that.
Good point and all valid. My point was specifically to Prime vs the kids he’s ousting. I hope for his sake this all works out for him. Interested in seeing how all of the JSU players he brought over perform against bigger/faster schools than they’re used to playing.
I understand his need to make changes, but these kids don’t deserve to be treated this way. He couldn’t care less about Colorado aside from the money he makes there, whereas some of these kids (like the one mentioned in the article) have personal and family loyalty to Colorado through the good and bad. The fact that he named his son starting qb (I believe) before he was even on the Colorado football team is beyond words.
While I'm pumped our recruiting is doing much better than in past years, I'll reserve my joy for specifically that instead of the joy of saying we're the number one class. Our average ranking is 91.87, which puts us as the 5th or 6th best class. Still plenty of time left before rankings are official. I don't get excited for overall medals in the Olympics... it's all about the gold, baby!
He's famous for some good and some bad... how he reacted in regard to the Brendan Gibbons situation makes all of his good obsolete. Lewan is indeed the douchebag.
My hot take: Not confident two wins in a row would be possible without replacing Don Brown with Mike Macdonald/Jesse Minter. LOVED DB and his passion, but love the in game adjustments by Macdonald last year and Minter this year much more. Go Blue from someone who grew up living in Ohio most of my life!
Are we talking for each of their team? Of course Baker was better overall, but how Baker played for the Browns is no better than how Shea played for Michigan.. which from the sounds of it you’re cool with how Michigan fans trashed Shea, but not cool with how Browns fans trashed Baker. Which, by the way, Baker was getting paid and Shea was not. So really, Baker SHOULD have higher expectations than Shea did.
As a Michigan and Browns fan… I liked Baker, but he deserved plenty of the shit put on him by Browns fans. Sure Stefanski should have stepped in and benched him, but Baker refused to sit and repeated all season long that he was healthy enough to play and he’ll say when he should sit. It’s an unfortunate situation, but you only have the other players on the team in their prime for so long… Baker has had 1.5 good seasons out of 4. How long would you suggest the Browns wait it out with him? Let’s also not forget that Michigan fans shit on Shea Patterson much more than Browns fans did on Baker.
At the end of the day, I’m not happy with getting Watson, but a replacement for Baker seemed pretty needed.
Do people actually root for only the Big Ten in bowls? Until a conference knocks off the SEC in the CFP consistently, they’ll continue to get the “bias” they get. Who cares if their conference loses every bowl game. If they win the championship year in and year out, then they’ll continue to get the benefit of the doubt. The best way to knock them off their pedestal is to actually do it in games that matter on a consistent basis. Until then, they’ll be considered the best conference even if they lose every other meaningless bowl.
The difference in high/low temperatures for both Miami and Ann Arbor the day of the game is between 45-50°. Whether there’s sun or not, that has an effect on the body. Living in Florida but being from Ohio, I can tell you when I have family visit during the holidays they’re running around in shorts and a T-shirt while I’m wearing jeans and a long sleeve. UGA won’t have that big of a weather change, so as I said earlier, hopefully the team doesn’t alter their travel plans.
I think Michigan stands a much better chance if they get down there sooner than later. Even though it’s “chilly” for Florida standards, it’s much warmer and more humid than what it feels like in AA. The team, to avoid a little time to adapt to the weather change, will hopefully get there as planned. Our players are already at risk of cramping a lot faster during the game than UGA players because of it.
My favorite part of this has to be him stating what his role in the play was: run straight at him or get inside since there was already gonna be a player coming from the outside. Not only did he run straight through the OSU player, but after he knocked him on his ass, you could see that he was also already on the inside. Smart/disciplined player on top of a physical beast!
Little league baseball. Probably about 9 or 10 years old. I had been on antibiotics, which has never sat well with me. My team is up to bat with two outs and I run to my coach and ask if I can go to the bathroom. He says no as we make out number three. Reluctantly, I walk out to my position at short stop. We get the first two outs pretty quickly, which has me excited I'll be able to make it to the port-o-potty with ease. The pitcher (my twin brother) proceeds to walk the next batter. Oh, shit... literally... is what's going through my mind. Another walked batter... I feel my guts doing flips. He then is pitching to the last batter of our half of the inning, but I can't hold it anymore and shit what felt like the biggest shit of my life. I feel it run down my leg and we get the last out. I wasn't sure what to do... so I'll describe the next part from my parents perspective...
"So we see you standing there and then all of the sudden you take off in a full sprint and slide feet first right before you reach the dug out. Go straight to your coach and then next thing we know you're in our car."
I had decided I could hide the brown in white pants by sliding... I went home, cleaned up and we won the game. I then got to the local ice cream shop to everyone's surprise to see me because coach told them I was sick. Crisis averted...but inner embarrassment remained.
I agree completely. I think they’re great.. just saying they’re not completely for educational purposes. It does a lot for recruiting too. I wish more young people had exposure to the world like this.
I can’t believe this is being made into an issue. We have donations being made to send our team overseas, but people throw an “educational purposes” mask over that to convince themselves it’s ok. Same thing with people getting mad over online classes. Is this really an issue? Jesus Christ.
The people saying we shouldn’t allow online classes are the same ones that would rather send an important letter in the mail over an email. It’s the 21st century, folks. Side not.. merry Christmas!
Being from Sandusky, Ohio... Cleveland sports are my pro teams. Living closer to Ann Arbor than Columbus and falling in love watching the Fab 5... University of Michigan is my college team. Go Blue!
Chill out. I'm a Michigan/Browns fan and I find it hilarious. Myles Garrett deserves the punishment he got (we won't get into the minimal punishment for the now backup QB for the Steelers). It's OK to laugh every now and again, buddy.

Is his son a really good QB? He's a really athletic QB... which gets him in trouble as seen by him taking 30 sacks so far.
Good luck! Do what makes you happy!
