Damn, I was just about to say Michigan may have gotten away with a targeting penalty but at the very last second the refs get buzzed.

Dumb decision there by Henning. Sure there was a couple Hawkeyes down there so perhaps they may have downed it on the 1 or 2 but much more likely it bounces in the end zone.

Michigan showing the bend but don't break defense thus far, Iowa has had 2 long drives but only 3 points to show for it thus far.

Holy crap what a play call and what a throw by Edwards, is there anything he can't do on the field?

TD MICHIGAN!!! Great run by Corrum but I love McCarthy being down there blocking the whole way!

The last SEC East team to beat Alabama was South Carolina way back in 2010. Total dominance.

Damn earlier in the week I was looking forward to the thought of not having Alabama in the CFP(not just for Michigan's sake but I just hate them always being there in general) but now not only are they going to be there but it appears they will be the 1 seed and team to beat...yet again.

After seeing Oregon get embarrassed I'm starting to wonder if perhaps OSU isn't as good as we all though. They dominated MSU and Purdue back to back but aside from that they played a bunch of close games and that loss to Oregon suddenly doesn't look so good.

I think Iowa is better than people are giving them credit for, I see Michigan controlling things most of the game yards wise and perception wise only to look at the score and see its like 17-10 or something like that early in the 4th. Like one of those games where you "feel" they are up by 2 or 3 TDs when in reality it's still a close game. With that said I think they are the better team and will tack on a score late, 24-13 Michigan.

A buddy of mine threw out a wild thought, what if the Lions draft both Aidan and Ojabo? Personally I think Ojabo will be gone by our 2nd pick but who knows, if the Rams keep losing he could potentially be there in the late teens. If he is I wouldn't totally be against it. With the picks we made last year on the interior they could potentially give us a great young d line. We could then take the best WR available with our 2nd round and 3rd round picks. I'd have to see how the board shakes up but if they aren't in love with any of the QBs and they think they could get a similar WR a dozen or so picks later then I think I like the idea.

I still think Miggy has potential to be better than him too. He was really turning it on towards the end of the season, of course if memory serves me correctly he did the same in 2020 as well only to struggle in the 1st half of last year so we shall see.

I think it would depend on how the game went. If you go by all the metrics Michigan is WAY ahead of Iowa at the moment. Currently UM is 4th in College Football's equivalent to the BPI at number 4 while Iowa is at 23. Michigan is 2nd in Strength of Record while Iowa is 10th. Michigan is 2nd in Average WPA ranked which they use to determine how much you controlled the game throughout, Iowa is 41st. Basically every one you look at you get results like this. I bring this up cause according to a couple of people they interviewed on the committee they said that the metrics are very important to them. That's the reason UM was still ahead of MSU after they lost, the committee said that by all accounts Michigan was the better team and had the better season according to the metrics despite the loss. Not saying I wouldn't personally put Iowa before Michigan but just reading between the lines of some of the committee's comments and I don't think they would consider them over Michigan even with a win. Now if they steamrolled them that may be another story.

I of course don't want them to back in but if Cincy, OSU and Bama all lose earlier UM might be in the playoffs even with a close loss.

I think I'm one of the few people in Michigan that don't call them Coneys, I've always just called them chili dogs.

I want to hate on Van Gundy for passing on Booker but lets face it just about everybody at the time was more upset about passing on Winslow. If Booker was the obvious pick and he fell in our laps only for us to take Stanley instead I would hate on him more. Still sucks though either way.

I was a senior in High School when Columbine happened and I remember a couple weeks or so after it happened some kid at our school made a threat and they cancelled school for it. Turned out he just made the threat cause he wanted to get out of school cause there was an exam he didn't want to take. It was an underclassmen so I didn't know who he was but I guess he did get in some trouble with the law over it.

Haven't watched a single minute of their games yet but I see that they lost again, this time to UNC. What is the problem? I know they lost Wagner and Livers but didn't they bring in a top class to help offset that?

Anybody got a sub to BA? I guess they put out their new Tigers top 10. They tweeted that Greene passed Tork for number 1 but as a non subscriber that's all I know.

A little backloaded.

As expected the game drew monster tv ratings. 16 million viewers making it the most watched cfb of the season by a landslide. Number 2 was the Iron Bowl at 11 million and number 3 was MSU/ UM at just under 10.

With these incentives the Buxton deal makes a little more sense for him. Still think it's a big win for the Twins though.

I think Hutch is the safer pick and could potentially be better but I feel confident that barring injury he is going to at the very least be a real good player. As mentioned that motor is something that will translate to any level against any competition,on top of that he seems to have a high football iq and is a great tackler. Thibs on the other hand has the freak raw tools that can make him a Myles Garrett but those tools can only take you so far. I'm not saying he doesn't have a motor or high iq, I havent seen enough of him to say one way or another but without those you could end up struggling at the next level even with the raw tools.

Speaking of Greene, he has now passed Tork as our top prospect on Baseball America's updated list. Not a subscriber so I don't know where they rank league wide or the rest of the list but BA tweeted out that tidbit earlier.

I don't know if the balls were meant to fly different or perhaps one had a different texture or seams for better grip but there were a number of times watching games last year where off the bat I thought the ball was gone only for it to come up quite a bit short. Perhaps that was indeed the ball?
