I’m not really hype on…

I’m not really hype on anyone anymore given that we would all be super hype on Juwan still if we had Shannon, Love, Dickinson, and everyone else he planned on having but for the admissions office. 

I'm 100% fine with it --…

I'm 100% fine with it -- especially given what we have heard regarding the disastrous culture he created.

So you want the new coach to…

So you want the new coach to be someone who got fired for missing the tournament?

I feel like the coaches have…

I feel like the coaches have to actively try to make the team worse to be this bad.  It doesn’t make any sense to me. There are way worse teams who play way better and win more games. 

JUB used to seem much more…

JUB used to seem much more in the know than his current tweeting of a meaningless status update.  Oh -- the AD maybe kinda sorta feels slightly more aligned with letting Howard go versus how he felt previously -- HUGE NEWS.  Just don't say anything at that point.

The main reason he left was…

The main reason he left was because of exactly what has become of college basketball, so I doubt he would ever want to return.

Allowing highschoolers to be drafted again would certainly help fix it.

Personal attacks against…

Personal attacks against incompetent leadership are fine. Not personal attacks against each other.  That may have been over the line.

also. Fire warde. 

Everyone has Tommy John…

Everyone has Tommy John eventually.  Better to have had it already. 

quit drinking and go to bed.

quit drinking and go to bed.

2020 was the covid year. …

2020 was the covid year.  While it was football's worst year, it was Juwan's best year.  Ultimately it wasn't a real year in any sport.

Michigan basketball right now is completely lost.  There is zero roster depth.  The coach has to know after seeing it time and time again the type of players guaranteed admission and guaranteed denial.

This is on Howard -- both the lack of in-game adjustments and the roster construction in general.  He set us up to be last in the big ten, and that's really just unacceptable.

What?  Your post is exactly…

What?  Your post is exactly the same of the posts you dismissed as being "covered."

How are you bringing anything new to the discussion?

If that is the price we paid…

If that is the price we paid, I take that trade every time.


in the american hierarchy of sport, there is football, and then there is everything else.

Lost me at Pat Forde

6 -- I do generally follow…

6 -- I do generally follow and care about players' success after they leave here, but it isn't a focus.

Of course, if those players are playing for one of my own pro teams, I very much follow them and care about what they are doing. 

I just don't see in me that same level of care happening with coaches who leave here. 

His name will be all over the place now and next season, as it has always been, so we will all be well aware of how he and the Chargers are doing.

I'm just not invested in how he and the Chargers are doing.

Disagree. The offense gets…

Disagree. The offense gets looser with the ball near the end zone to try to break the plane and score.  There should be the risk for doing that — yes you can reach out and try to score, but if it gets loose and goes OOB in the end zone in the process of you making that risk, it’s the other team’s ball. 

LMAO we are sitting here…

LMAO we are sitting here talking about why he should be fired, and he gets the most public-facing, prominent AD role there is.

Only if you add-on two paper…

Only if you add on two paper-bag masks.

Alabama OSU and Georgia…

Alabama OSU and Georgia always have the same talent-pool every single year that we just had for one season after the perfect forumula of everyone coming back to win it all.  And we are only going to get less and less of that talent pool as NIL (and Michigan's failure to fully participate) move forward.

We are not Alabama, OSU, or Georgia -- we will never be Alabama, OSU, or Georgia.  They simply recruit at an entirely different level, and are at that level every single year.

That's why it's so insane and awesome that we won the national championship

Perception creates reality. …

Perception creates reality.  For Warde, that means valuable head and assistant coaches in multiple sports consistently leaving under his watch.  Eventually he loses the benefit of the doubt and is considered -- simply -- cheap.

I'm feeling pretty positive…

I'm feeling pretty positive.  We surely won't have a cb1 who gets beat by every single team on almost every single route next year.  And maybe a kicker too.

holy shit warde.  we already…

holy shit warde.  we already have -- consistently -- one of the top revenue producing athletic departments in the nation.

you can build a better baseball complex and pay an awesome strength coach every once in a while and not make as many dollars for the department that year.

Like.  my god.  with the current level of tv deals you can't just care a teeny, tiny bit about winning and money!?!?

Unfortunately more like Dabo…

Unfortunately more like Dabo since our administration seems to be terrible at NIL and the portal.

Stop worrying about osu. …

Stop worrying about osu.  They want to move the narrative as fast as possible to next season. We just won the national championship.  Don’t rush it.  Bask in its glory.  Does it really matter to you if we randomly do start sucking ass? It shouldn’t.  We did the thing.  It’s done. Were good. 

I'm with you -- not even…

I'm with you -- not even taking the concourse into account -- the lighting itself used to be absolutely horrible, like a downtrodden middle-school gym.


Crisler looks great.

Who knows how the offense…

Who knows how the offense will ultimately look.

But the defense is going to be absolutely stacked.

Few I can recall, if any.

Few I can recall, if any.

But it's not fair to compare Harbaugh to a lot of those guys.

First, there is no fear of him leaving to another college program -- so any comparison of a national championship winner leaving for another school would be out.

Second, a lot of the other guys either are those with no desire to ever coach in the nfl, or had previously tried to coach in the nfl and failed bigtime.

Harbaugh has a great nfl  winning percentage -- maybe top five all time if we check -- and lost a super bowl to his own brother.

There just isn't a good comparison between him and other coaches in how much he wants to win a super bowl.

Calm down we just won the…

Calm down he just won the national championship.  He can do whatever he wants.  He won the national championship. 

I have four extra tickets to…

annnnnnnnnd they're gone.

Juwan is out of time now…

Juwan is out of time now that football is done and people are actually forced to settle for watching this.

i don’t understand doing right by him to finish the season — he already had fireable offenses in the past.  Player-legend or no — just end it. It’s still just basketball — not football. You really can just terminate him mid season and move on. 

Hopefully they put it on…

Hopefully they put it on Saturday!

They should keep the rose…

They should keep the rose bowl jerseys with the rose bowl patches even though it isn't the rose bowl, but I don't know if that would be allowed by the CFP / NRG stadium, etc.

I'm never going to be on the…

I'm never going to be on the side of gatekeeping usage or correcting grammar online --

if you know what is meant, that should be enough to be fine with whatever word or grammar choice is made.

What the hell?  I can only…

What the hell?  I can only call it "the national championship" or "the title game"?  Sorry -- but it's 2024 and we aren't trying to use that many words when one word suffices.

I was 0-1 years old during…

I was 0-1 years old during the bad boys championships, so I have to go with the '04 season.  Favorite moment was definitely the Tayshaun Prince block on Reggie Miller.

The real struggle starts…

The real struggle starts after the super bowl when we have to collectively wait half a year for any sort of meaningful football again.

damn.

damn.

First activity in over two…

First activity in over two years ... hmm ...

Leave Juwan in charlotte for…

Leave Juwan in charlotte for the love of god. They completely forget how to coach at the most important times. How do you not foul and not call a timeout at the end of OT. 
 

Here like 4 years ago.

Here through about 4 years ago.

I fully believe this -- and…

I fully believe this -- and I don't see anyone who is going to take Juwan's side anymore.  He's gotta go to the wizzards or something at this point.

Aaron Glenn still having a…

Aaron Glenn still having a job is insane to me. 

Damn - how did we miss this…

Damn - how did we miss this when the news broke!? I can't believe this big of news about the contract negotiations for the coach of the #1 team in the country -- tweeted by one of that team's most prominent insiders/journalists -- was not previously discussed on that team's biggest message board on its biggest blog!  Wow!

Kane is first on the list --…

Kane is first on the list -- he's above modano / chelios

Because Michigan hasn't won…

Because Michigan hasn't won this game yet.  Michigan always loses this game.  Not necessarily talking about the CFP semifinal as a round or Alabama -- just this game -- be it Alabama, Georgia, whoever -- Michigan hasn't won this big game yet against the main SEC team that season in forever.  Michigan has to beat Alabama to end that pattern; until then, the public isn't going to bet on them with the same vigor.

This isn’t the one more year…

This isn’t the one more year? I really want this to be the one more year at this point. Maybe we would be better off if he had been fired for the slap.

This must have been a "best…

This must have been a "best at his specific assistant role" versus "so good at his specific role that he can also just straight-up be the head coach and win three top-tier games" type of decision.

A devastating situation.  I…

A devastating situation.  I believe this is the second time that they have shared suffering this category of loss.  Just unthinkable.

No fucking way.  Fucking…

No fucking way.  Fucking arkansas lol.

I highly doubt there will…

My first comment was speculative opinion.  My second comment was a response to requested speculation, which I now continue here.  I highly doubt there will ever be proof of any coach ordering stallions to do something or something that shows communication between stallions and a coach where a coach would be proven to have known about what stallions was doing.  It is not that kind of operation that would be talked about -- it would be more an "understood" operation.

Which is also why I don't think some terrible future punishment is coming, because the damming evidence of something going higher up the chain will probably never exist.
