10-2

Yep, still there. Last year’s loss to Georgia was much easier as I had gone through all of the stages of grief by the end of the third quarter. This one will sting for a long time because Michigan beat Michigan more so than TCU did. Making matters worse (though not as bad as they could have been) OSU (a team Michigan beat by 22 points) proved Georgia is human. Opening line for the natty is 13.5, smh. I know I won’t garner much sympathy as it could be much worse but Michigan should enter next season as preseason #1/2 based on returners and transfer portal additions.

This is sorta where I am at.

Said this before. I think the NFL snatches up DeBoer sooner rather than later.

Yeah, don’t care who it is though. Just want two more wins. Revenge is overrated, just like this November’s game proved. All I heard for 365 days was how O$U’s identity had changed on defense and they were out to prove it. Related to that point, though many folks would play up the revenge card should UM play Georgia, you think UM would rather see them (the team most say is the best of the four) or a team they’ve already beaten by 22?

Yes, Michigan fans are “ducking” a team that they curb stomped 45-23 (should have been 52 if the refs didn’t give Stroud sympathy on that final drive) on Thanksgiving weekend. Any O$U “fan” rooting for Michigan Saturday is a fraud…and vice versa.

No predictions from me but I WILL say this. You are a better man than I…

Yep. Even by technology in the workforce.

This I can get on board with but I saw a staggering statistic the other day regarding the transfer portal and guys who think the grass is greener somewhere else and end up stuck with nowhere to go. I’ll see if I can find it. Just like I’ve said about high school kids getting mixed messages from adults who are in their ear and tell them what they want to hear, this has now spread to the collegiate level. Don’t feel as bad for these folks though because if you are 19-22 years old and can legally vote, you should be able to make adult related decisions about your livelihood. (14-18 year old kids are the ones that really make me tear up.) Here it is: In 2020, 49% of athletes (6,703) who entered the transfer portal enrolled at a new school, while 44% (6,009 athletes) are still exploring their options, transferred to a non-NCAA school, or left their sport, the NCAA data shows. The remainder of athletes withdrew from the transfer portal.

Don’t let “some people” speak for the masses. They just scream the loudest. Mike Tyson said it best… ”Social media made y’all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it.”

Maybe.

Boom. Doesn’t hurt that Michigan admissions are much more willing to play ball with transfer credits than they were 12 months ago when Harbaugh was interviewing in Minneapolis…coincidence, lol?

Walters had nothing to do with the Allen commitment.

Sounds to me like hurt feelings.

A bit cringy to me.

Replacing Steele at Ball State.

If Manning wins the job, Ewers is gone immediately. Its just how things work these days.

Yes. What a loser mentality. No win situation in Austin. If Ewers struggles in the bowl game, the pressure to start Arch Manning will be immense the moment the kid steps foot on campus.

Beat me to it. Just heard this exact same rumor.

Far from an insider but wouldn’t be surprised. Actually closer to home?

If I were an IU/Purdue fan I would be absolutely sick at the amount of QB talent we have had walk out the door as of late.

Yikes…not surprising…but yikes.

You redeemed yourself with that second paragraph but the first one is just…embarrassing.

Not worth the side effects.
