You pretending they are obsessed with us while they are competing for a national title is way more pathetic imo.

Metellus has been an excellent safety. Go find another team to support. We will be fine without you...

Kind of think a bubble screen to the slot receiver would be effective here - wish that was a hot read in the offense. Easy first down

My issue with the comment is…

My issue with the comment is that this post was a detailed explanation of the run game. Seth did a great job, and the first comments are pointless complaining about the lack of pass game (as if we haven't had enough of that already). As Seth points out, there were opportunities in the run game for big chunk plays that we didn't take advantage of.

I agree that it's hard to understand why screens / quick passing game weren't used more. But the insufferable whining is just tiresome at this point, and clouds up any interesting discussion on the actual post.

Would regression to the mean involve holding OSU to 40 points? I'm all for it.

You might as well get used to it instead of your pointless non stop whining about how we aren't them and don't recruit as well as them.

Probably going to get destroyed for this, but Chase earned this troll. I really hope the attitude of most of the players/staff is not that it was a "mirage".

It's great that these people are guarding the program from mediocrity. All you people that aren't screaming uNacCeptAbLe! after tough games/seasons don't care as much as the tough guys behind a keyboard holding the coaches accountable. What a service to the program!!

Being jealous of USC right now is amazingly moronic.

Not sure when you make the…

Not sure when you make the determination that he "can't" beat OSU. There is no indication that's the case. The last two years he put the team in a favorable position to win those games and they just didn't go our way. He could lose the first 5, then win the next 5. We do know he's fielding good teams and has come out with great game plans against them. The fact that we've been the victim of some shitty luck/bad bounces in those games does not mean anything to me about Harbaugh's coaching. 

Also, how many teams have "backed into" coaches that can beat teams like Ohio State, Clemson, and Alabama? It usually turns out pretty terribly - USC, Tennessee, and Florida say hi - all teams that arguably have a recruiting advantage over Michigan.

I am a Michigan fan, and as heartbreaking as some of our losses to OSU have been over the last few years, competing for championships has been a ton of fun. We keep putting out these sorts of teams and the championships will come. 

Who are you hire that can…

Who are you hire that can beat OSU? Can you give me one name? We have lost 2 coin flip games to OSU, and Harbaugh has had great game plans for both of those games. It's not like they have been out coached by OSU. I'd rather count on coin flips going our way at some point than hire somebody who is going to get blown out. This is dumb. Not caring how many 10 win seasons he racks up is also dumb. Did you just forget the last decade when we weren't even close to competing for championships? UM fans should be 100% behind Harbaugh no matter the outcome of this game.

Vegas spreads definitely take home field into account.

I realized this a few years back when I went to the Michigan vs Kentucky elite 8 game. The PA guy kept saying "Caress" Levert, and was yell talking the whole time.

I suppose it is appealing to…

I suppose it is appealing to everyone else, but I am another who does not enjoy watching NBA games where both teams are in the 120's. To me it's comparable to watching Big 12 versus Big 10 or SEC games. I'm sorry, but when each team is scoring 50-60 points a game in football scoring loses it's excitement. You end up just hoping your team can get a lucky stop or bounce on defense occasionally. I'd rather watch teams struggle and fight for each point. 

I like Blackledge, but it…

I like Blackledge, but it seems like he's not doing many games this year. Also liked McDonough, but seems he's not doing college games anymore with his MNF assignment.

Nah he didn’t hurt my feelings at all. It was an illustration to make my point. Also is pretty rich coming from the guy who just whined for 3 paragraphs about how the big bad baby boomers took away his pacifier. 

"Talking about the economics…

"Talking about the economics of Ann Arbor, Michigan". If that is what's happening that's one thing, but it's not. Brian himself resorts to insults and name calling in the post - part of the reason for it being a vitriolic topic. 

Your last point is full of false comparisons. Your first examples are of people breaking other people's laws/rules. That's not being a hypocrite, it's just breaking the law. And your examples of breaking your own rules? There is a big difference in breaking one of your own rules in a moment of weakness and thoughtfully, willfully, consciously breaking them, then saying STFU to people objecting to that. If someone points out to me that I broke one of my own rules I hope I would say "oh, shoot, you're right, I'm sorry." Brian tells people to "get bent." 

 

This is a political position…

This is a political position we can all agree with (As long as he recruits enough starz)

I'm not sure that a shared…

I'm not sure that a shared interest in a sports team is enough to have a civil political discussion. Ace has made it quite clear that isn't possible on this blog at least. I'm not a "Republican" nor did I vote for Trump, but I find the name calling and throwing around terms like "Fascist" and "Nazi" careless and discouraging. Not to mention how many people are told to "go to hell". That is the tone for the discussion on this blog, so I'd rather they didn't. 

1. I have to scroll twice as…

1. I have to scroll twice as much on the new site

2. The comment formatting is terrible. The little lines to show replies are an eyesore and make it less clear about what's going on than just doing nothing but indentation.

3. With the new design, IMO, Diaries should be below the board. 

4. Upvoting and downvoting isn't as fun when you can't see the upvotes and the downvotes. It's an interesting data point that is missed.

5. The little banner at the top with recent posts has negative value in my opinion. It just makes me scroll more, and sometimes I'm confused when older posts are up there and they don't even seem to be the most recent ones.

6. Too much white. I think some gray / light blue backgrounds in some spots would help a lot.

That's why he wasn't arguing that Harbaugh should be above Urban and Dantonio.

Lmao, I'm always amazed at some of these takes which are based on essentially zero information. We have no idea if Milton is could start over McCaffrey. 

The 2014 season didn't spiral

The 2014 season didn't spiral down because teams "smelled blood" or because the team "didn't respond". It spiraled because the team stunk. 

So this debate is still

So this debate is still happening? Why?

The bulls made the finals

The bulls made the finals after Jordan retired.

What, Jordan would have

What, Jordan would have reminded each of his teammates of the score before the free throw? The Jordan argument is constantly shifting. For the longest time it was that Lebron didn’t have the alpha dog mentality and couldn’t put the team on his back. Now that he’s proven that to be completely false it’s this nebulous “he doesn’t make his teammates better” argument which is conveniently impossible to argue against. I think the whole debate is dumb. Enjoy watching a great player.

Great post. I’ve noticed that

Great post. I’ve noticed that I do this myself. I can’t stand the warriors or Steph Curry. I keep coming up with “rational” reasons for it, but it’s totally irrational. They play a style of ball that I like, and Steph seems like a pretty decent dude. Doesn’t change the fact that I can’t stand watching that mouth guard chewing jerk.

Steff? Also, if the outcomes

Steff? Also, if the outcomes were “fixed” warriors cavs would definitely not be happening again. Just about everyone is pretty tired of that matchup. From a ratings POV not a good finals.
