  1. I just rewatched the 2nd half. The only real issue I had with a Sark play call was the 3rd and 3 right before the long FG. That was the drive we ran 8 straight times. Once we got to 3rd and 3, they had 9 in the damn box. Single coverage outside. If we make an aggressive play call there and convert we put the game away. Instead we ran right into it. The biggest problem was the defense. Hell if we just don't give up that long ass Savion pass (with the hurdle at the end) that gave them life up 20 we almost certainly win comfortably. Kitan Crawford was terrible on that play. Defense absolutely has to have some killer instinct in those situations. We had so many chances on D to put that game away and couldn't do it.
  2. Michigan has always been my favorite Big 10 team. Primarily because after visiting this shit stain on this earth that is Columbus Ohio in 2005, I'll pretty much always root for their enemy. But I'm rooting heavily for Penn St. to beat their ass tomorrow to hopefully put this ridiculous story on the 2nd page and let the rest of the teams get the headlines they deserve. They cheated. Massively. And they have zero right to play in the CFP this year.
  3. This. 100% team kiffin on this. If you have mental issues, that doesn't absolve you from taking a little bit of responsibility and meeting with your fucking coach. The fact that this is even an issue says everything about that generation.
  4. My biggest takeaway from the A&M contract release is Petrino didn't even have enough leverage to sign a multi-year contract (and is instead working under a "LOI"). I guess in theory maybe that LOI includes protection beyond this year but that's pretty funny that relationship was so tenuous from the beginning.
  5. I don't know why any position coach with options would go there knowing he will almost certainly be looking for a job in the next 2 years. They are going to have to overpay with guaranteed 3 year contracts to replace anyone on that staff.
  6. I immediately thought of that play watching it live last week. Still too soon.
  7. Same here. But those midwesterners (+ East coast I guess?) love them some big 10 football. Big 10 Football is just incredibly boring to me but the ratings are always somehow impressive. Outside of Michigan/Ohio St. there is rarely a game I could possibly watch start to finish. I watched a decent chunk of Ohio St/Penn St flipping back and forth and will do the same with Michigan this weekend, but will typically watch more of a marquee matchup from literally any other conference. Maybe that's just me but I've never cared about Big 10 football.
  8. It's apparently been a total shitshow the first couple of weeks of the NBA season. Flat out did not work numerous times. I hate giving that company money but I'm probably going to be forced to give it a shot soon and hope they worked out the glitches. As I like YTTV too much to give it up in order to get Bally's like I did last spring/summer when I temporarily switched to FUBO.
  9. I refused to click on that link but saw enough to know what was in it. I really wonder what kind of deal Wetzel cut with Michigan and/or Harbaugh for a future scoop to run with that nonsense.
  10. If Fisher isn't an absolute idiot, he made damn sure there is evidence his superiors knew everything going on. It's the reason Briles got paid 100% of his buyout vs fired "for cause". When every action or inaction you take is done with the acquiescence of your boss, there is no "cause" to justify a subsequent firing.
  11. If I was a litigator and had my own firm, I think i might send some kind of notice to the Big 12 office on behalf of a potential class of sports betters asking to preserve all correspondence between conference administrators and officials just to fuck with them with the clear implication that you suspect fraud. Litigators that have their own firm can tell me why that might be a bad idea. But would love for Yormark to squirm a bit with his fuckery and start having to think about if he or the idiots that work for him might have put something stupid in writing.
  12. Wrong thread
  13. The top is obviously the bump into Strong intentionally to throw a personal foul flag. I'm not sure I've ever seen anything like that at any level of sport. It was clearly personal. But, as for this season, I'm pretty sure it was Mar or one of his minions that was caught on film in the Wyoming game screaming at Ewers for celebrating a TD that was about a 3/10 on the level of what is considered permissible for TD celebrations in the current era. It was bizarre. And no doubt setting up the possibility to call anything other than quietly handing the ball to the official on the next TD with the explanation that "I warned you". That crew is just pure garbage.
  14. Mar's reaction to that play is more telling than anything else that happened. We were signaling our ball and he angrily yelled "No" 'No". An unbiased official just doesn't react or neutrally references the down (knowing that if a close play replay should review it). But this fucker assertively, and angrily, made clear he was not even going to consider it could have been a fumble with the confidence that it's not even in the realm of a play that should be reviewed. Then Sark initially had to call a TO just to get the call reviewed. Seriously. Fuck that guy. He's an absolute piece of shit. We got it back. But Sark absolutely had to call it to get a review initiated.
  15. It's been a while but I liked the product a bit better. I just wasn't convinced that Trimlight would be as bright as the others, especially for my house which has a bit darker brick. Also, the Trimlight people were like 45 mins late and I barely had time to meet with them and I think they then had the highest quote. Jellyfish only did a remote estimate which I really didn't like either but saw enough online reviews, etc. to know it was a good product. The Gemstone installer spent the most time with me explaining the product, making suggestions, and making sure he gave me the best offer. Given things were all relatively equal I went with the guy that made the most effort to get the deal done.
  16. Agreed. There is no way he's ready to start day 1 but someone with a relatively stable short term QB situation will snag him in the late first or 2nd convinced they can develop him. That would be best thing for him obviously. He's still a work in progress and would not do well if thrown into the NFL fire right away.
  17. Super low energy in arena last night except for drunk visiting Boston fans. Monday night sporting events are the worst. And my diet coke sipping ass after a 5 day weekend WS celebration was part of the problem.
  18. Just realized my response to your question must have never gotten through. I remember typing something out. In any event, I went with Gemstone but was down to Gemstone and Jellyfish. I just got a slightly better deal with Gemstone so went that direction (and have been happy with the product overall). But I liked the Jellyfish product as well. Liked both better than Trimlight.
  19. Sign stealing isn't illegal. So what rule did he break? Because it seems pretty clear that in person scouting is an actual rule that was apparently broken repeatedly by Michigan. Coaches share info on opponents all the time when it benefits them. So is there an actual rule that was broken or is Michigan just trying to sway public opinion?
  20. Should be a good measuring stick game tonight although no Faksa or Duchene. Heading over to the AAC in a bit.
  21. Cool. So a current Michigan staffer that used to work at different Big 10 school admitted to ascertaining Michigan signals in methods that did not include sending contacts for in-person scouting and videotaping opponents signals on a phone (all reimbursed by UM). I'm not sure that's the flex they think it is.
  22. Those 2 + Gore was popular enough to be a few hanging chads short of winning the presidency.
  23. Any chance Tech had at getting Texas to play them in Lubbock again ended with the way they completely Tech'd it up both when Beard returned and all the additional security we had to hire to deal with that nonsense + their absurdity after the football win last year including flat out assaulting one of our players trying to leave the field. That's Tech. That's who they are. And I would be beyond shocked if anyone from this generation of our athletic dept would ever agree to play them again. Absolutely zero upside.
  24. I mean the DNC or mega donors or whomever else is working on big picture strategy. Kamala isn't a popular VP. That's been obvious for 2 years. I don't know "who" but "someone" should have been working on a plan. Biden could have a serious adverse health event at any time. I've just personally thought there have been alarm bells ringing for over a year now for an election that could be disastrous for democracy and that concern is only growing. I would still bet on Biden if I had to put a bet down today but I don't feel great about it. And that has nothing to do with Biden because I do think he's too old for the job (as is Trump). I just think when push comes to shove Trump will once again turn off everyone "BUT" his base and not pick up any votes. I'm just concerned Biden will be able to retain the votes he needs.
  25. Biden's approval ratings have been shit for a while now. I don't think the vocal minority of misguided progressives move the needle on this or anything else they bitch about.
