temptation

Once again, why cherry picking the 10 year window? The record is what it is but as mentioned Michigan fans (and ND fans for that matter) are always accused of living in the past. The culture at UM and OSU is an interesting case study right now. Day is firmly on the hot seat (fair or not) if they lose again to Michigan. Michigan got inside the 5 yard line twice against TCU and came away empty both times. The “Philly special” failure was on the coaches. I’ll give you that. The fumble inside the 1 (after the Roman Wilson TD was controversially overturned I might add) was bad luck. The two JJ pick sixes were all on #9. They still had a chance to WIN THE GAME despite these failures. I blame little, if any of the above on the coaching staffs shoulders. I am not under the delusion that Michigan was beating Georgia last year, but they sure as hell would have been competitive. Michigan is careful in their NIL approach and it’s much different from how most other programs do it. It was designed for student athletes to benefit financially once they got on campus, but instead has become a bidding war for recruits. Michigan will never win those bag contests but has a great collective once student athletes get on campus and begin performing. yes, Franklin is annoying and his endgame management skills leave a lot to be desired, but he is always also good for one ridiculous soundbite. Latest example, in the week leading up to his team, playing Massachusetts (the worst FBS team in America), (they’ve also already played an FCS school in Delaware) he has the audacity to call out “other programs” about soft schedules in order to chase being undefeated, lol.

Some people take a message board way too seriously.

1. Michigan fans are ALWAYS accused of living in the past. 2-5 is what it is but 2-0 and control of the rivalry presently is all I care about. They haven’t just beaten OSU these last two years, they’ve dominated them and killed their will. I never wavered from Harbaugh and anyone who wanted him gone was delusional. You called him Franklin 2.0. Simply not true. 2. Michigan’s classes by year since Harbaugh’s arrival according to 247: 2024: 14th 2023: 20th 2022: 12th 2021: 13th 2020: 12th 2019: 10th 2018: 22nd 2017: 5th 2016: 7th 2015: 37th Average: 15.2 Hardly “top 5 every year”…now if you wanna talk the transfer portal, I’ll listen. Michigan has feasted there, particularly at the line of scrimmage. 3. Most people are morons. Yes, it was an embarrassing loss but two pick sixes are on the coaching staff? McCarthy lost that game and has owned it. 4. Temp’s bold prediction: If PSU goes 0-2 against UM/OSU this year and Texas A&M finishes how I expect, Jimbo is gone and Franklin slides in at A&M.

1. I mean he is 32-3 in his last 35 games and currently owns all of his rivals winning most recently by 2-3 possessions. 2. Michigan DOES not recruit at a top 5 level every year…not even close. Top 10 if they are lucky…usually in the 11-15 range…player development is off the charts though. 3. They (along with ND) have qualified for the playoffs twice actually. There is no better coach in the game right now. Franklin can’t beat UM or OSU. He’s 4-14 in 18 meetings. Facts hurt.

Insurrection at the capitol…10/18 is the worst day for democracy since Pearl Harbor and 9/11…I expect a full investigation.

Love me some Buckeye schadenfreude.

You would’ve gotten better odds before the season…

Caught em both at the right time…

LOL, Georgia just lost their best player for 4-6 weeks and maybe for the year if he goes the JSN route. You’re letting bias and prior assumptions cloud your vision. I really think there are a half dozen teams that could win it this year. Exciting for a change. Respect your opinion but you’ve gotta come harder than that.

Obviously you aren’t watching the games then. Who do you trust MORE than Michigan right now? (And spare me the strength of schedule nonsense.)

And you take the bait every time.

I actually trust them MORE because of what happened against TCU last year.

Knew you couldn’t resist. Love sparring. Why can’t Tech, Washington and Attucks just mimic Cathedral’s youth and feeder program model and start churning out titles then?

Agree completely. I want to go back down the rabbit hole of “ad nauseam private school” talk selfishly because I want to see @Footballking16’s head explode. “Cathedral not only has few ADVANTAGES, they have many DISADVANTAGES and superior coaching and culture is the reason for their long term success.” Peebles has won 80% of his games since taking over at Cathedral after boasting a 54% winning percentage at his previous stops. Must’ve gone to one hell of a coaching clinic…

You’ve been consistent and maybe I’ve missed it or forgotten, but what changes do you feel are necessary to get Penn back to the days of old?

Does Chatard really have 6A talent?

C’mon.

Difference is Crown Point and Carroll’s best days are still ahead of them…they can change the narrative. Penn’s are behind them…

Possibly.

You have a short list of candidates you’re willing to share?

Your opinion. Nothing beats the comedic value of being incapable of counting to 11 though…

Greenfield is such a cool success story. Should give others hope. 0-10 just 6 years ago losing by an average of 33 points per game.

The individuals are seeded in events in track and swimming and receive preferred lanes/spots in the throwing/jumping order at the sectional level. Then tournament performances determine those placements going forward for the other two rounds (regionals/state). No. Two per event per school unless a third has hit the automatic standard. Yes, swimming is brutal. Gotta win or hit the automatic qualifying standard.

That’s not how it works when you turn your roster over annually in college/high school football. Carson Beck is NOT Stetson Bennett.
