Catapult owned by OSU grad…

Catapult owned by OSU grad no? There was some allegations that they were accessing the data and sending to schools like OSU, UGA, and Bama if I remember correctly.

They already are

Good call getting a second opinion. Michigan's medical team is developing a poor track record as of late.

He is, I recently heard from a big donor that it is done. 

This is the right take. 

This is the right take. 

Criticizing Twitter amounts to nothing more than an attempt to showcase one's perceived moral superiority. Are you also active on TikTok or Facebook? If so, it would be hypocritical to pass judgment. Just admit that you dislike Elon because of his politics and move on. No need to virtue signal or act as if you are better than others.

Well said Coach!

Don't waste your time in CR…

Don't waste your time in CR. For food Iowa City is the spot, the downtown area and Coralville have the best spots.

A lot of the best places have been mentioned.

Best spots IMO are:
 

- Big Grove (IC). Has a really nice outdoor seating area and have some good beers. Coming from Minneapolis I compare the environment to a mini-Surly if you've ever been there. They have some games like bags you can play, a big indoor bar and a large outdoor seating area.

- If you like deep dish pizza Wig & Pen is really solid. 

- 30Hop in Coralville is my favorite dinner spot and they make a great breakfast bowl. I also like Quinton's out in Coralville, they make a very good GIANT baked potato. 

- A lot of the other places downtown are good as well but as you can imagine being walking distance from the stadium, they're going to be packed. 

Terrible take. The quad…

Terrible take. The quad cities suck. No one refers to Pagliai's as the best pizza in Iowa.

As good a reason to like a team as where you were born to me!

This is the appropriate take…

This is the appropriate take. This is on a University that can't get out of its own way. Arrogance with nothing to be arrogant about behind it.

You're 100% correct. You…

You're 100% correct. You could get Matt Campbell though, and then you could have "the most together team" which was apparently the goal in Ames this year. Not sure how that will go over when they go 8-4, 7-5 each year but I digress!

Ever the players coach. I…

Ever the players coach. I respect the hell out of this and love hearing how honest he's being. 

 

If the University won't commit to his success(NIL is a big part of that, so is support of transfers on the academic side), he doesn't need to commit to the success of the program and I would totally be fine with him leaving. 

 

If he leaves and this is why, then Michigan Football is in for a world of hurt and this year will be the exception moving forward, not the rule. Michigan Football will look a lot like it did 2008-2014, IMO.

After the last decade or so…

After the last decade or so I've learned that asterisks are only applied by the losers and are not acknowledged by almost everyone else. ESPN, media, Analysts, Recruits, none of them remember the details they just remember who won.

 

Just win!

Madison and Iowa City are very similar. I live in Iowa City, and have family in Madison so v familiar with both. The only benefit Madison has is the burbs are nicer but if you're talking about Madison proper, it's got v little on IC.

Posting history be damned, I don't see anything wrong in the logic here. Color me cautiously optimistic but not expecting much.

I knew who it was before I even read the post. I've followed that story for weeks, thanks for dropping in today with a random article you probably didn't read and acting like an expert.

Honestly F Business Insider for hiding their article behind a paywall. If such a thing were true(which it is not), why would they do this? Oh....that's right, $$$$$$$. Clowns

This 10000% You know who cares about how prestigious Michigans academics are? People that have a degree from Michigan. No one else does. It's silly that insiders can't see past that.

 

The point here is, if you're selling that going to Michigan as a student helps get you piles of money when you leave it's hypocritical to not embrace making piles of money to come play football here. Cognitive dissonance is pervasive at the UofM

and it was completely out of…

and it was completely out of his control as well. If he gets that handoff a second earlier, Clowney gets juked out of his jock and Smith is making a solid gain. Clowney came through untouched though and it is what it is. Smith deserved better from our line on that play.

Great move by Meyer here. If…

Great move by Meyer here. If he gets himself in trouble here he's one step closer to having a way out of the NFL if things start to go against him on the field. Next level thinking. Big brain move.

Campbell missed the money…

Campbell missed the money train. He's okay but that's about it.

Minnesota has had this at…

Minnesota has had this at least since 2015. I went to the Michigan - Gopher game that year and had a few Grain Belt's. Was awesome.

This is the curse of being…

This is the curse of being an Iowa fan. I think a lot of Iowa fans say this type of thing but then they start to evaluate what the alternative is and realize there's nothing better for them out there.

Buy out Ferentz? No one here wants him gone...(Michigan fan in IC)

I agree with you here. Also…

I agree with you here. Also want to mention that a ton of the Bo legacy is founded on what a great leader he was. Well, now that we know what we know, it's hard to take him as seriously. Bo's Lasting Lessons start ringing a little more hollow than they had in the past. Sorry, but it's time to move on from Bo.

His accomplishments were in…

His accomplishments were in sports and obviously in the grand scheme of things, sports don't particularly matter when there was such an egregious violation of human rights happening under his watch.

 

Michigan should move past this celebration of Bo and recognize him for the more complicated character he was. You don't have to erase him entirely but you do have to consider the facts of who he was and what he did in this situation.

 

Of course all of that's easy for me to say, as someone who's never really celebrated him to begin with. I always thought he was overly praised for his accomplishments, so take my comments with a grain of salt.

I've almost never agreed with Ace. I read the docs. It would be damn near impossible for Canham to have not known, letter or not.

Seth is the least pessimistic of MGOBLOG staffers....gotta read the whole article man.

Good for him. Worth a shot IMO

Isn't Bohanon the guy who…

Isn't Bohanon the guy who plays 99% offense and 1% defense?

- Yes he is

Iowa teams are mainly offense, so I can see the need for him to return, but can they survive another team that basically plays 4 guys on defense.

- Team would do better without him, too much of a defensive liability and there is better potential behind him that I'm sure would love the opportunity to develop while also contributing more meaningfully to the team

 

My guess is he's going for his PHD too.

- More likely to sell insurance TBH

This kid is desperate for attention and fame.

 

Also this is flat out wrong.

"Guy is staying because he loves the game and his team which is refreshing in a new era where apparently 15 year olds are going to make six figure salaries.  "

 

He's staying to keep any semblance of relevancy to push his podcast and try to parlay that into a career when he's finally done playing basketball and racking up meaningless stats. Also happens to be a grade A dbag(speaking from personal experience). 

 

Lump him right in with Davison

Seth this is absurd. You should probably sell this to people for like $5-$10 bucks each year, IMO. Thank you for doing this.

Considering that Andreessen Horowitz is involved....there's basically an unlimited amount of money that COULD(not will) be put into this league if they see some success. I think I read recently that they have over $16 Billion in AUM.

Glad to have some added depth here. Any chance that "Wesley" guy is still around. Looks like about 80% of his throws were to the Tx Tech version of Nico

This is silly. Looks to be a classic overhyping of offense on social media. Dakich is no longer off twitter. Seems like this was all blown up to be something it is not. Easily offended folks getting offended by one another. It's cute really.

Ambry got smoked, and did not look good. Has UDFA written all over him IMO. That being said I'm biased. I'd be lying if I said him sitting out this year didn't change my opinion on him.
