I disagree, it's not black…

I disagree, it's not black and white at all. .08 is an almost absurdly low limit, and there's a major difference between that and say a .25.

I don't care if the guy gets fired or not, but the DUI pearl clutching by the neoprohibitionists is annoying.

 

When I come to power wearing…

When I come to power wearing headphones in public will be a felony.

Craig Kilbourn was better.

Craig Kilbourn was better.

Or maybe I just miss the 90's, desperately.

That's what she said.

Meh. Germans did it first.

I just use a livestream for…

I just use a livestream for the games that aren't on whatever services I have at the time. The quality isn't always great, but it beats the hell out of paying $300 for cable.

Prime has sales on various apps and channels throughout the year, so we binge whatever we want and then cancel it for something else before the price goes up.

The friction is coaching the…

The friction is coaching the Chargers now, just like both of these motherless fucks wanted, so of course everything is fine.

We have always had easy…

We have always had easy access to guns of all kinds in this country. The guns are not the only problem, our society is sick, and it's only going to get worse.

Can confirm, although Mrs. Hatter prefers the more traditional term "crazy".

This. Sometimes men hit each…

This. Sometimes men hit each other. It didn't used to be a big deal at all.

So if things go sideways…

So if things go sideways here, we should be able to pull him over from WA in a few years.

I don't hate her at all. She…

I don't hate her at all. She's blonde, gorgeous, rich, and bipolar. That's like the perfect woman for me.

It's weird watching a game…

It's weird watching a game where I don't care at all which team wins.

I guess I'd prefer the fighting Taylor Swifts to lose?

Sean Magee announced as Chargers GM in 3, 2, 1...

The spring game is on Hitler's birthday?!?!

Fire Warde!

If they beat us, Day buys…

If they beat us, Day buys himself another year. If he loses again he'll be fired before we leave the field.

If everyone had this…

If everyone had this attitude, Dave Brandon would still be the AD.

Curious that Harbaugh didn't…

Curious that Harbaugh didn't take anyone from the offensive side.

We could have kept Jim.

We could have kept Jim.

Failing that, Jedd Fisch.

If we had to promote internally, Minter would have been the better choice. We could have kept the most important parts of the staff and team in place with him as HC.

 

I don't believe he offered…

I don't believe he offered that much, and it doesn't matter anyway, because he didn't offer whatever it would have taken to keep Jim. His return to the NFL was not inevitable.

He should have been fired the same day Harbaugh signed with the Chargers.

This was seen as a win/big…

This was seen as a win/big deal?

Oh how the mighty have fallen.

He wasn't hired for…

He wasn't hired for continuity, he was hired because it was the easiest and cheapest option.

Not that I would trust Warde to conduct a proper coaching search anyway.

Warde playing the long game…

Warde playing the long game to get Ron English as HC.

Oh no, we suck again!

Oh no, we suck again!

Thank you for that mental…

Thank you for that mental image.

Jesus Christ.

That's spicy.  We should…

That's spicy.  We should offer him Warde's job.

McAfee would be a lot more…

McAfee would be a lot more likeable if he would put a fucking shirt on.

If he hasn't been fired yet,…

If he hasn't been fired yet, he's not getting fired.

I don't trust Warde to hire…

I don't trust Warde to hire a competent janitor, much less a basketball coach.  Might as well keep Juwan until he's gone.

Also, I don't think Warde will be in a hurry to fire him anyway.  Maybe he'll cut his salary in half instead.

I think the NCAA is going to…

I think the NCAA is going to have to be forced by a court to allow that.  Say we did just start paying our players directly using AD revenues.  Imagine the penalties the NCAA would try to hit the school with.  They would probably try to SMU us until the courts told them to fuck off.

Michigan doesn't have the stomach for that kind of fight.

It's not a voluntary…

It's not a voluntary association if you want to play college sports. 

Better suspend Coach Moore…

Better suspend Coach Moore for the first 3 games next fall just to be on the safe side.

Leave it alone until we lose…

Leave it alone until we lose a game.

No, it doesn't.

No, it doesn't.

For people over 40, those…

For people over 40, those were just the "weird" kids in school.  There was no diagnosis.

He could be the best…

He could be the best recruiter since Jesus Christ, but that's not going to be enough until those NIL bags get heavier.

Exactly.  Working for…

Exactly.  Working for Harbaugh, not necessarily Michigan, was the draw for a lot of the coaches brought in during the recent past.  

Warde makes over $1 million…

Warde makes over $1 million per year and his department brings in a massive amount of revenue into the school.  I'm fairly certain he has quite a bit of budgetary discretion.

Balas may be full of shit, but Warde is a lousy AD.

I don't need an excuse to be…

I don't need an excuse to be mad.  I'm going to be livid about Harbaugh leaving for the foreseeable future.

I'll bet a dollar that before he leaves Michigan, Warde is going to make us miss Dave Brandon.

We're not going to agree on…

We're not going to agree on this, probably ever, and that's ok.  It's my opinion that the seeds were planted in 2020 with the paycut, and things just got worse from there.  I think that early season suspension is what gave the NFL an opening. 

I don't think that's true. …

I don't think that's true.  And even if it was, we agreed to his conditions at the last minute.  Probably should have done that months ago.

Warde (and whomever else) fucked this up royally.

We just lost a HC who is…

We just lost a HC who is probably a top 5 coach at either level, then he took our excellent DC and strength coach with him.

Moore might be a good, or even great, HC, but does anyone really think he's on the same level as Harbaugh?

Those losses by themselves are enough to be angry and/or worried about.  Add in the fact that it's entirely possible we could have kept Harbaugh, and people are pissed.

Rent out Michigan Stadium to…

Rent out Michigan Stadium to an NIL collective for $1.  NIL pays the players from ticket sales.

Fire Warde.

Profit.

I think Warde will be a lot…

I think Warde will be a lot more difficult to get rid of than Brandon, and that wasn't easy.

 

You know what worries me? …

You know what worries me?  Warde's potential relationship with Moore.

I could see a potential Brandon / Hoke situation developing at some point.

I'm going to repeat myself.

I'm going to repeat myself.

In an interview last fall, John Harbaugh said that Jim was probably "a lifer at Michigan".

Last fall. His own brother said he expects Jim to retire at Michigan.

I'm going to do some research and put this whole "Jim was always going to the NFL" meme to rest.

Warde, and maybe some others, either wanted him gone, or didn't care either way, and they made it happen.

With the right AD Jim would have coached here until he died.

"Fine" is a major upgrade…

"Fine" is a major upgrade over Ferentz the Younger. If their defense stays as solid as it has been, they should be able to make a 12 team playoff once in a while with that.

Hire a coordinator and make…

Hire a coordinator and make him run a system he's not familiar with?

I've seen that movie before, and I didn't like the ending.

I hope he can improve…

I hope he can improve recruiting, or at least maintain whatever voodoo we've been using to identify underrated players. Because even if he's 90% as good as Harbaugh as a HC, that probably won't be enough to keep winning like we have.

It was absolutely #2. Warde…

It was absolutely #2. Warde wanted Harbaugh out, but he didn't want to take the blame for it. He played it perfectly and got exactly what he wanted.

Now he has his coach, who will presumably be easier to deal with than Jim was.

I don't think Harbaugh had some burning desire to go back to the NFL, last fall his own brother said that he thought he would be a lifer at Michigan.
