He was sickened by how cheaters prospered this year and won the national championship out from under him, and decided he doesn't have the stomach to compete in such a dirty environment.

Lol, I could have done that.

Minutes Michigan trailed this season in 15 games (out of 900 total minutes): East Carolina: 0:00 UNLV 0:00 Bowling Green 0:00 Rutgers 8:04 Nebraska 0:00 Minnesota 0:00 Indiana 5:58 Michigan State 0:00 Purdue 0:00 Penn St 5:21 Maryland 4:10 Ohio State 0:00 Iowa 0:00 Alabama 18:14 Washington 0:00 Total 41:24 (4.5% of the time)

And at The Michigan Daily, one of these things is not like the other ...

This is on my Twitter screen. These stories aren't related, are they?

Ufer ran track. He didn’t play football, did he, although I might be wrong. Ufer was great for me as a 10 yard old in the ‘70s. I probably have listened to his Anthony Carter more times than any other clip I have in any sport. I suspect adult me would have got tired of him after awhile.

Heck, even 10 days ago I wasn't yet sure whether Michigan was just a really, really good Big 10 team but not yet the very best in the country. That's why I leaned towards Alabama as the Rose Bowl pick until I saw the game play out with my own eyes. 1:25 to 3:00 is really good.

Lol, yes, if you had told me 3 years ago that I'd be sitting here nitpicking that the Michigan announcer's call of a national championship clinching interception was half an octave too high, I would have taken it!! And oh yeah, Jack Harbaugh's "who's got it better than us" cut out a bit because he got too close to the mic, ha. Speaking of Jack, check out the last sentence of this Wikipedia entry:

I think Jansen is a great color commentator. I think Karsch is very good at describing the game. He's likeable. Unlike when listening to Brandstatter, you can listen to Karsch and have a good idea in real-time exactly what is happening. But man, Karsch has to have the worst "excited voice" on big plays that I've ever heard from a PBP announcer. Not sure how to describe it. A squeaky, high-pitched rasp?

Final AP rankings. In their last 6 games, Michigan beat #13, unranked, #10, #24, #5 and #2. Even more impressive would be how they were ranked at the time the game was played. I think that would be #9, unranked, #2, #16, #4 and #2. https://www.espn.com/college-football/rankings

Ha, imagine some OSU fan going nuts with envy and bitterness about Michigan being in the championship game so he wants to get away from college football for a few days by going to New York on a short holiday. Looks up and sees...

4-8 weeks isn't the end of the world. Lars is wearing his heart on his sleeve, and that's fine and understandable, but it will be OK.

The Tigers winning the 2012 pennant felt really good at the time, but within 10 days of that the Tigers had been swept in the World Series and my dad suddenly fell ill and died. So, well. As for the ‘08 Wings, I was still a bit bummed after the late heartbreak of Game 5 when I was in attendance and that would have been the only time in my life I’ve witnessed in a pro sports championship in person. 2002 Wings was sweet.

Karsch at the 2:15 mark. With a side camera isolated on Harbaugh during the play.

Screw you, ESPN, just had to get that “tainted” remark in at the final snap. Says more about him than it does Michigan.

Hail to the conquering heroes!!!

Michigan is an exceptional Big 10 defense, but there might be some nervous PAC 12 offensive co-ordinators tonight.

Washington not even using their timeouts.

Hail!

Stop this 4th down and trophy is basically there

Touchdown! It’s Michigan’s to lose now.
