  1. I was tongue-in-cheek about not playing against Maryland. That would never happen, it would just lead to Michigan getting in even deeper **** with the conference. I do think if Michigan is 12-0 they should leak discussions (even if not legitimate) that they are considering not playing in the B1G Championship. Let FOX sweat about losing that audience and let Petitti take those calls from network executives. Then send his calls to voicemail. If they really want to layer it on, cite concerns for player safety like MSU did. A 12-0 Michigan team that hilariously forfeited the B1G Championship Game in protest would still go to the Playoff and would still raise banners in Glick. It wouldn't happen, but it would be funny. Watching Harbaugh take the B1G Championship Trophy (or refuse to do so) from Tony Petitti would be must-watch television though.

  3. So they should refuse to play as a middle finger to the B1G? No TV money for anybody off that game.
  4. In fairness if anyone sought to give Jamo a $68.5MM contract right now I would seek to have them committed.
  5. To be clear (I wasn’t in my original post), I’m NOT giving up on him. What I meant by adjusting expectations is that we shouldn’t say “he had two catches for 18 yards, another big play called back, and a huge block, but I’m not happy about that because he was a 12th overall pick” Who cares where he was drafted, he’s contributing and helping us win games. I agree that he has not tapped his full potential. I really don’t think he’s all that close. I think as he and Goff continue to be on the field at the same time, his usage will increase.
  6. I haven’t accepted Jamo as a “bad pick” but I do think we need to adjust our expectations. Yesterday, he played a role in us going to 7-2. I just can’t complain about that. Did Holmes probably hope for more when he drafted him? Yes. But at the end of the day everyone has a job to do, and he’s doing his. That block yesterday was masterful. I think as much has to do with Jami as it has to do with the Jamo/Goff chemistry. I think if Jamo was getting ten targets per game he’d be thought of much higher. For whatever reason he’s just not one of Goff’s primary looks.
  7. Dan Campbell is now 1-1-1 in his first three games out of the bye as a head coach. How many can say that??
  8. I think it was combination injury and being new to town. Give him another week to get up to speed before putting him in there.
  9. There is zero chance he leaves. I doubt he even answers the call.
  10. Say what you will about Patterson (I know I say a lot) but he is money from short range. In my dream of him trotting out for a game winning kick in the NFC title game, I think he’s money. Pressure won’t get to him.
  11. Good win today. Damn good win. Defense can’t suck this hard on a regular basis, but they probably won’t.
  12. Time for the Bears. Take care of business at home.
  13. Maybe just because I was sitting ten seats down from the seat at the bar I was in for that game, but this reminded me of the Jets game from last year. Wasn’t pretty but they found a way.
  14. The one that strategically let them score with the exact amount of time Jared Goff requested be remaining. 😆
  15. Defense can take the bus home. Glenn is driving.
  16. MichiganCardinal approves of this gameplan
  17. These are the games teams have looked at in years past when they’ve passed on hiring Glenn for their head gig.
