I guess he won't be wrecking US national security from within until Trump appoints him ambassador to Nambia

This thing...

There is a long history of ethical behavior being a contingent requirement of the professions. So, as our economy involved more and more specialization we require our doctors not to be butchers, our dentists not to sexually exploit their patients. And for our athletes not to be beholden to the gambling and mafia elements. Yep, its a minimal requirement of civilization that we hold people to certain moral and ethical standards. Or, you could have sports be pro wrestling.

Al Washington and Greg Mattison seem to have been conspicuously quiet lately

Milton's field generalship on display see also, that the tweeter has some connection to the school in Ohio that doesn't know how to scheme a run defense.

Mccaffery is who you mean? They really went for the Irish names for a while there. Mcnamara and Mccarthey appear to have a good relationship. I can clearly see that Mccarthey has the arm talent but when he was in against Iowa you saw lapses in judgement that denote the need for more seasoning. Hopefully he uses the month of December and spring camp to get to where Mcnamara is as far as being a field general. Back to Milton, the stories out there that he vowed to hang 50 points on Michigan when he was benched in 2020 really denoted a poisonous locker room that year. The thing is that if the QB is not cutting it as a leader, the coaching staff need to figure out how to process him out of the program without denying him the ability to prove it elsewhere. I guess I don't have a grand point about all this except...the transfer portal appears to work.

Was just musing. What would this team be doing if Joe Milton stuck around? I saw some highlights of him playing w/Tenn and it didn't seem like he was doing anything very difficult. His arm talent is there but he wasn't able to make reads at all. It might have been for the best that he processed out.

I remember Johnny Morton throwing his helmet the last time I saw a Lions team end a horrible losing streak.

They f'n did it!

Dan Campbell is pretty dumb

I've de-Lions sufficiently to view this abstractly. Dan Campbell is learning still. He has a lot more learning to do. He could use a bench coach.

Michigan culture as a down on its luck program is so perfectly embodied by "Mr. Brightside" and "Better Daughter" to see a stadium of people singing that a capella is so great. I was so jealous of England football fan singing "Self Preservation Society" from The Italian Job. It doesn't have to make sense. Its just the Hakka of the collective We as a tribe of fans. SOOO FUCKING GREAT!

Orange Bowl is better for Michigan.

There are ways to regulate how players enter the talent pool as FAs. The current system is helping a lot of mafia types.

If Pereira can buzz the refs that would be remarkable. I wouldn't put it past NCAA to allow that but...sheesh

Games are December 31 whichever venue.

So, IF Michigan can get a win on the road at the Cotton Bowl or the Orange Bowl, they would play in Indy again!? That's very interesting.

The drive at the start of the 3rd quarter was so fucking great!

You know...Iowa won the turnover battle. Reminds me of the joke told during the Cold War about hypothetical Russian tank commanders sitting at a cafe in Paris after the Red Army blitzed its way through the Fulda Gap and conquered mainland Europe with their ground forces. "Comrade, who won the air war?"

Concur

ND not in the playoffs. Sad face.

Jim is actually talking about Oxford and 42 points for Tate

They got Mr. Brightside trending
