I was just talking about…

I was just talking about this with others. I "get" the rule, but I thought the exact same thing for players chasing from behind. It seems the only thing they can do from behind is dive at their legs and hope to trip them up. What else could a 190lb corner do when chasing Travis Kelce or Derrick Henry?

They don't care because in…

They don't care because in the beginning it will be more money. That is all they care about. Same with the BIG and SEC scorching college football. Its bringing in tons of money right now and will for a while until 1) the other conferences get sick and tired of it and refuse to schedule or play them or 2) everyone finally gets tired of watching Georgia/Alabama vs Michigan/OSU play in between 3 hours worth of commercials and the ratings tank. 

I've already seen several…

I've already seen several conflicting reports. This site seems to be leaning toward, "he stepped away", but i've seen other articles saying he wasn't offered a spot back. The latter seems unlikely as you would think SM would have been actively pursuing a replacement. Interesting situation. Love Mike Hart and wish he would have stayed forever.

In KS, we call this talk, "The Bill Self". 

Love Chad. He will forever…

Love Chad. He will forever live in Chiefs "Dynasty" lore for that 98 yard TD drive after Mahomes got hurt. Incredible to sit for basically years and come in and do that. 

Agree, see my post above…

Agree, see my post above. Dude could have put 5mil away and blew 95 if he wanted and still be fine, but he couldn't even do that. These people don't look past 30 seconds, let alone 30 years though. Every time these guys are interviewed, they basically say they had no concept of money at all and just thought it would always be there no matter what. Its so unbelievably stupid, but it happens all the time. 

I don't know if sad is the…

I don't know if sad is the right word, but its definitely something. Like, if he had just put 5 of that 100 away in a money market, CD, index fund, etc, he would be fine and he could have still blown 95 million!!! I know people that do this don't think like that, but the NFL should do better. I've heard they at least try a bit, but man. 

Honestly, I think all non…

Honestly, I think all non SEC and Big 10 schools should band together and commit to their own thing and also commit to never scheduling a team from either league. This would put a stop to this. The SEC and Big 10 would really get tired of beating up on each other. I know it will never happen, but that seems to be the only way to stop this. 

Seems pretty quick to…

Seems pretty quick to already have picked a team and at least according to one tweet already be enrolled at a different school. 

I’m not copping shit. When…

I’m not copping shit. When one party and a large portion of the US doesn’t care that this happens and refuses any gun regulation whatsoever, I don’t see how it changes. In the mean time, just be nice to everyone. I just think it would really be fucking nice to be able to take my kid to a Super Bowl parade without dodging bullets. 

Was there with my son…

Was there with my son. Thankfully at the beginning of the parade and we didn't go to the end celebration. Was an amazing day until I got home to see all of this. I really wish we could figure this out or attempt something. I know none of that will happen so at least can just fucking be nice to each other for once?

I agree somewhat. He can…

I agree somewhat. He can still make it work, but it’s going to be tough. My biggest issue is that UM as a whole obviously had no plan and was completely unprepared for any of this. That is freaking pathetic. We’ve known this was possible for years and they still got caught. It’s almost unbelievable. 

So…like every other coaching…

So…like every other coaching change in history for the most part?

Eh, 2 hours worth of…

Eh, 2 hours worth of commercials helped me quit that habit a while ago. Every time I switched over to an "interesting" game, it was on commercial break anyway. This just puts the final nail in the coffin.

I need a new computer and this post locked it up 14 times, but I waited patiently and watched every video and read every word. Thank you sir.

How do you have any points left?

Yikes. I'm glad he's staying, but if he was basically forced to stay....? We will never know, so it doesn't really matter I guess.

without googling, name 2 people on the Kansas Staff.......

Agree, fuck him and his 3 Big 10 championships and National title!!!!

I get it, this sucks, but…

I get it, this sucks, but its a way different time now in CFB. I'm pretty sure JH isn't forcing these guys to go to the NFL. Hell, his kid jumped and went to a different team. I'm not exactly sure what is going on, but i'm not putting this all on Harbaugh. 

Maybe this is why SM went…

Maybe this is why SM went hard after the ND guy???

I can't wait to read the book on this season. What a fucking ride!!!

You joined in 2008 and this…

You joined in 2008 and this surprises you??? This is exactly what you should have expected. To be fair to the doom and gloomers, UM Football does take the most difficult and infuriating path anywhere. 

What if they want to go?…

What if they want to go? Maybe Moore doesn't want a first time play caller as DC which is probably the right decision. I mean, we don't know shit and should probably stop acting like JH is making people go to the NFL with him. 

Say what you want about PM,…

Say what you want about PM, but that was a pretty damn great advertisement for Michigan Football. 

I'm going to enjoy the shit…

I'm going to enjoy the shit out of this national championship for a long while and not get too worked up for anything for the foreseeable future.....however, it is absolutely astonishing that this program just absolutely refuses to build upon anything good that happens. It is constantly 1 step forward and 2 back before that forward step even gets back off the ground. 

Right....People have really…

Right....People have really convinced themselves that Jim MFing Harbaugh was going to leave and everything was going to be the exact same. Even if none of the other assistants left, it wasn't going to be the same. Its not possible. I'm fine with Moore and he was probably the right choice, but this is exactly what I was afraid of. People keep saying "CULTURE!!!!" We have to keep the same culture!!!! That is true and probably why they won it all, but there is zero chance Moore is going to be able to keep everything the exact same. Winning is a culture too and not many people give two shits about the culture of losing teams. Its like when you take the family on vacation and everyone has a great time so you go back there again thinking everything will be the same and great. Most of the time its not. 

If he can't keep Minter, i'm…

If he can't keep Minter, i'm fairly indifferent. Head coaching changes are almost always messy. Alabama was a machine and look at the turnover they are having. Michigan just needs to get the hire correct. Worrying about messing up the current culture is fools gold. Long term culture is the key. If they think Moore is the guy to keep the train rolling, then so be it, but lets not act like there isn't a risk giving the keys to a first time head coach just because the current players like him a lot. I'd say its prob more of a risk than doing a full search and bringing in a new guy. 

to be fair, he really hasn't…

to be fair, he really hasn't said shit. We just get what people are guessing and some take it straight from JH. My only issue with what he has done/said, was last year when he said he told Warde he would be at UM if they would have him and that his flirting with the NFL was a one time thing. I know things change and J Mfing H can do as he pleases, but that quote stings a bit. 

I have no idea how or even…

I have no idea how or even why people do stuff like this, but I am glad they do. Hearing Gus say, "Wide Open" over and over again in the OSU game 2 years ago was just awesome. 

This stuff always annoys me…

This stuff always annoys me. Graham is obviously a team guy and love Michigan. He isn't going anywhere. Why don't guys like him call this out? What does he have to lose by saying he has been contacted by several people affiliated with schools offering him money to leave? I'm not calling out him specifically, but at some point someone needs hammered for tampering or its only going to get worse. 

Not sure how I feel about…

Not sure how I feel about this at this point. I'm team, "give him whatever he wants", but the buyout thing is definitely a "thing". We all keep saying we can't keep doing this every year and while we say that, he has won 3 Big 10, the Rose, and the NC. I'm hoping that he can still win by flirting with the NFL every offseason, but I feel that eventually something will have to give. 

This is a no brainer then…

This is a no brainer then. JMFH is worth way more to the University than Warde. 

I never start threads, but…

I never start threads, but this seems like a good place to remind everyone about the beveled gift button. I didn't donate much, but I threw a few bones to the guys today. I try and do it when I remember since I get a lot of free entertainment here. You should all do the same. 

Nothing new. I'm still not…

Nothing new. I'm still not exactly sure what this even means at this point. The President and Warde have both said the want him to stay and have supposedly given him a great contract. I assume he can get whatever swag he needs or wants. He was a hero to most even before last night and now definitely is. What's left?

 

Now, on the flip side, if there is someone in the admin not giving Jim Mother Fucking Harbaugh something he wants at this point, that person needs to be shown the door yesterday. 

Yep, I watched it all. Thank…

Yep, I watched it all. Thank you. Man, I hope he stays forever.

Man, you would hate going to any game, HS, Pro, or College within 100 miles of Arrowhead Stadium.

I hate pretty much everyone…

I hate pretty much everyone that was on that video, but it was pretty great. 

Congrats Brian. You and the…

Congrats Brian. You and the crew deserve this. 

agree with the sentiment on…

agree with the sentiment on paying guys on the team vs paying new guys. That is always going to cause problems. It also depends on the player. He is def getting paid, but not as much as "He" thinks he should be paid. Those are the type of guys UM's staff would likely avoid at all costs. 

Great writeup Brian. I was a…

Great writeup Brian. I was a freshman in 98 as well. Didn't go to UM but remember watching that game in my apartment. From that game on my memories are of opponent QBs running for first downs and basically UM losing these types of games every single time. UM was probably my first favorite team as a kid. I have never lived in Michigan and had no real reason to chose them other than they were on TV a lot and I just liked them as a kid. Between 98 and now, I often wondered why I put myself through it since I had no real connection, but I always have and it finally fucking paid off!!!!! Congrats everyone. 

I thought it was fine. The…

I thought it was fine. The commercials were once again brutal. There is a guy on reddit that lists every commercial and the times and it was over an hour in total stops. Just seeing the huge list of commercials is just awful. I was exhausted after watching the UM game already, but I had absolutely no interest in sitting through another commercial barrage for the second game. 

This is just beyond weird. I…

This is just beyond weird. I just can't imagine ever even considering doing something like this and then thinking it was funny. I'm not an attention seeking weirdo though I guess. 

I'd bet an internet dollar…

I'd bet an internet dollar or two that we will see an IRS case within a few years. Someone will flaunt their money or deal and get a visit. Bag chasing doesn't normally lend itself to the proper accounting treatment of said bag. 

His interview was hilarious…

His interview was hilarious. I had no idea what to expect but when I saw coach rolling towards the fox reporter while she was mid interview with JJ, I was in buckle up mode. After he told Jenny that he hoped she had a nice day, I laughed out loud. 

I actually like it better…

I actually like it better when he told her to have a nice day. It was a great interview and I love that JH was dragging him around to find the camera and just shoved him in front of it. End of game wins are a must watch for JH programs. 

“You all have a good day”…

“You all have a good day”. That was the best player interview I’ve seen in a while. 

Right after JJ makes a throw…

Right after JJ makes a throw across his body instead of walking for a first down. Just bad tonight. Will be enough thankfully. 

The dumps are open. He isn’t…

The dumps are open. He isn’t coming back to them. Edward’s was sitting with no one near him on at least 2 poor plays by JJ. Needs to take those 5 yards. Iowa is spying and waiting for him break the pocket. 

JJ was not great at all…

JJ was not great at all. Guys have been open underneath. Saw DE open at least 2 times for a dump off. Not worried, but he was bad this half. Needs a little help from the WR group as well.
