The Champion gear from MDen looks clean. The Antigua polos and quarter zips are nice. The rest is way too busy.

David Shaw is one the most…

David Shaw is one the most conservative coaches in modern day football. Sherrone Moore has already proved to be more aggressive by going for it on 4th down multiple times against Ohio St. So the comparison is already a lazy one.

Michigan should just hire SM immediately and pay the fine.

If there really is a law…

If there really is a law that restricts Michigan from hiring SM for 7 days. They should just hire him now and pay the fine, if they don't get a waiver.

Florio is the worst of a horrible bunch. Not clicking the video on principle.

My thoughts were very…

My thoughts were very similar. I though Sherrone called a great game except kicking the field goal to go up 6 with a minute left. If you have Will Johnson, it is more defensible but down a major secondary piece, you have to go for the win. You have a Heisman caliber QB. Let him roll out and put the game in his hands.

Good stuff. As a football…

Good stuff. As a football coach, it is always nice to get a brush up on basketball terms especially as the season is ramping up. Thanks for including some brief reminders and I look forward to reading your future posts. I could read / watch Michigan basketball breakdowns all day.

When I got into coaching HS…

When I got into coaching HS football. I wondered if I was not making enough halftime adjustments. That being said, there are some games we do make some, especially since we have players that play both ways and don't have a ton of time together on the sideline.

It is almost scary to me how…

It is almost scary to me how many people have fallen for this troll job. His top two are clearly Illinois and Michigan. He is most likely picking Michigan. I am having a hard time believing this many people are gullible on twitter and message boards and think that he actually has a top 5 and that Michigan wouldn't be in it.

I guess it is a generational thing because my dad falls for fake instagram / facebook post about Michigan all the time but damn people. Use some critical thinking. Insiders all posted crystal balls to Michigan yesterday for goodness sake.

Really wish we would just…

Really wish we would just keep the playoff at four. If expansion was unavoidable, I would have really hoped it was only to 6 and try that for a while.

 

12 is beyond overkill and hurts the regular season.

It was so obvious Purdue…

It was so obvious Purdue could be trying a fake punt. Thought we would be ready for it especially after last week and Purdue having nothing to lose. It should have been holding on Purdue but thought we should have been in Punt Return Safe coverage.

Weirdly every game I have…

Weirdly every game I have watched Michigan Football away from the Big House has led me to Indianapolis. I went to the Purdue game in 2017 and ended up staying the night in Indy after the game due to a friend living in the city.

 

I also went the the BIG Championship last year and will be heading there again tomorrow morning. Last year we got to town around 5PM and waited a little while to get into the Slippery Noodle. We could only squeeze into the back room (away from the WTKA crew) and watched the Alabama & Georgia game on a large projector. Drinks were easy to get but no chance at food.

Because they are the better team..

Damn. Do we really have to…

Damn. Do we really have to do this every week? The shitty 12 team playoff is coming to ruin the regular season soon enough. Don't need a thread with this SEC propaganda every week.

A 12 team playoff would…

A 12 team playoff would really suck. Wish there was to stop this greed / pure cash grab. If there has to be expansion, why would it not be to 6 teams. I could maybe see 6 teams but 12 just totally ruins the regular season and kills the importance of regular season rivalries. It will suck potentially playing Ohio State 3 times in 1 season.

Yep. I was surprised LSU…

Yep. I was surprised LSU over Alabama wasn't on the list. That is the most important rooting interest game of the weekend especially since it is @ LSU.

 

It terms of the redzone offense, I agree with Brian. We need to go tight splits inside the 10 yard line and just go 4 iso plays to Corum. Bring in the extra TEs and H-Backs but avoid any read plays or pulling guards. Just straight man blocking with a tight alignment and let Corum bash it in for 4 attempts if needed.

The blue-out looked sweet in…

The blue-out looked sweet in person and the maize pom poms were an awesome touch! The crowd was also chanting "Tuck's not coming!" late in the game. At least in the sections near me.

The fact that people posted…

The fact that people posted on twitter about how Tom Allen was a better coach than Harbaugh during 2020 seems laughable now but it was so infuriating and stupid at the time.

People understand that…

People understand that getting rid of divisions would be a horrible idea for the Big Ten and Michigan right? Just when Michigan is primed to be competitive with OSU, they would have to start beating them twice to make the playoffs. Nothing worse than have to play OSU two weeks in a row and make a trip to the playoffs even harder.

Calling 2021- 2022 a poor…

Calling 2021- 2022 a poor season is a stretch. They are already up to 19-14 and in the sweet 16 and now looking like they could make a deep run.

Great game. Love the baggy…

Great game. Love the baggy shorts too.

That opening paragraph about…

That opening paragraph about energy levels was spot on. Though I think it applies to basically all sports not just hockey and basketball. I coach JV football and I spend all summer thinking about strategy and X's & O's but when the games start the only things that usually matters is if we are ready to play physical football or not. Strategy can lose you the game but high energy levels win the game.

I was texting my buddies…

I was texting my buddies during the game and initially called it the T-Will game, then it changed to the Diabate game, and finally the Devante Jones game

Wrong. It looked awesome.

Wrong. It looked awesome.

Was coming to say the same…

Was coming to say the same thing unless Minter had a stint with the Vikings that I am unaware of. I assume Vikings are still on the mind.

Winning by 18 on the road at…

Winning by 18 on the road at assembly hall isn't a signature win? Especially to an Indiana team that hadn't lost at home all year.

Why do people care at all…

Why do people care at all about this? The divisions are fine as they are. Eventually Wisconsin or Nebraska will rise up and be a good team or they won't and no one will care. The alternative is having Michigan Ohio State as a protected rival and being at an extreme disadvantage to teams like MSU or Penn St. How lame would it be to have had to play OSU again in the title game right after beating them in Ann Arbor.

Same reason we don't need to expand the playoffs just because national writers keep tweeting it. Would be so stupid to have to play Ohio state again in the playoffs after already kicking their ass once.

For anyone reading this now,…

For anyone reading this now, let this be an example to never get too far deep in BPONE. Michigan won the Big Ten Championship game 42-3 against Iowa.

Nah Grog, not how this works…

Nah Grog, not how this works. You were flat out wrong. Now it is time to eat crow. It wasn't simply predicting 7-5, it was all of the people calling for our elite head coach to be fired. Which was absurd then even after the covid year.

Don't want expansion. Could…

Don't want expansion. Could maybe live with a 6 team playoff. Anymore than that is too much.

I want Georgia to win so we…

I want Georgia to win so we play Cincy in the first round (wouldn't surprise me if they give Georgia the Cincy game though and have us play OK St). 

 

I think we would be #1 if Alabama wins this weekend though not #3.

I was 5 years old during the…

I was 5 years old during the 1997 season and the Rose bowl so I don't have any memories of watching the game live. 

 

Beating the eventual BIG Champion Penn St team 49-10 in 2016 is up there. 

 

2011 and 2003 wins over Ohio St were big. I was at 2011 and 2003 gave us the Big Ten Championship.

This would probably be the biggest win, and maybe quickly replaced the following week with the biggest neutral site game since the '98 Rose Bowl.

Penn St was ranked #23 in…

Penn St was ranked #23 in the AP. A poll that is commonly cited for criticizing Harbaugh on the road. So you are in fact wrong. Penn St just got healthy and is a different team than the team that lost to Illinois.

"Why would I have any…

"Why would I have any interest coaching College Football?"

Maybe because college football is 10 times the sport the NFL is. He could have just said he was happy in the NFL without disparaging college football. The NFL cult is so weird how they automatically assume that there aren't people who prefer the college game. Very weird.

Worse take i've seen in a…

Worse take i've seen in a while. 0 percent chance you could make it out without the game being spoiled. Don't know why you would even want to try though.

Last season was so annoying…

Last season was so annoying with people saying Tom Allen was better than Harbaugh. Yelling loud does not make you a good coach. Glad to see IU back to where they are suppose to be.

While I agree with your…

While I agree with your overall point about Beilein teams taking too long to advance the ball against the press. We would be remiss to not mention the clinic Trey Burke put on dismantling VCU's vaunted press in the 2013 NCAA tourney.

To me, Clifford is maybe the…

To me, Clifford is maybe the most underrated comedy of all time.

Michigan has the best resume…

Michigan has the best resume in the country. I have never seen so many people just accept teams as being deserving of a top ranking like many have this year for Baylor or Gonzaga. It is time for strength of schedule to play a factor and move Michigan to the top of the rankings.

This has the feel of a big…

This has the feel of a big game writeup. Nice work. I'm glad you pointed out the refs even after the win because they were horrendous.

Clown post!

Great move. Should have done this awhile ago.

Tennessee fans are up there…

Tennessee fans are up there for the worst fan base. They are approaching MSU and OSU levels. I don't understand why they talk so much crap to Michigan fans. Michigan has not been as successful as they have hoped in the last decade but they have been much better than the dumpster fire that has been UT football and yet Tennessee fans still don't want to be compared to Michigan. They would be so lucky.

Still on the bandwagon. He is a great coaches. I hope someone is keeping reciepts from those that jumped shipped early.

Agreed. I’m fine with…

Agreed. I’m fine with sticking with the Gattis offense with Cade or JJ at the helm but for the love of god go back to our Harbaugh short yardage package. 3rd / 4th and short were automatic from 2015 - 2018, no reason to throw that away. It was honestly the thing I was most worried about when moving to Gattis’ offense and has proven to be true.

You idiots that want Tom…

You idiots that want Tom Allen and Campbell would run Harbaugh out of town if he blew a championship with terrible management like ISU just did.

I know the internet isn’t…

I know the internet isn’t real life and is more of a place for people to post crazy opinions but some of you would rather have Matt Campbell than Jim Harbaugh after 1 rough covid season? That is an interesting take.

There is going to be some major crow eating over the next few years when we are rolling again under Harbaugh again.
