Why does Ohio State get to say John Cooper going 2-10-1 against Lloyd Carr and Michigan is unacceptable but we don't get to have the same mentality when it comes to Harbaugh going 0-6 (about to be 0-7) against them?

When the Ohio State and Michigan State games role around on the schedule don't act like you care about winning them. When you are 0-6 against Ohio State and have yet to beat the brand new head coach at the other school and have a losing record against MSU over the past decade and a half, those aren't competitive rivalries anymore. Be intellectually honest and publicly accept that Michigan can pencil in two loses every year from here on out on their schedule. And no, I don't expect 12-0. I want what Ohio Sate did to John Cooper and Georgia to Mark Richt, to happen here at Michigan. Imagine if Georgia shrugged their shoulders and kept Richt or Ohio State with Cooper and they never made the changes. Kirby Smart, Jim Tressel and Urban Meyer would have likely had success, just elsewhere.

I've got several names that, if given the chance to recruit the way needed, I believe could get the job done and compete against Ohio State and MSU. Remember, Harbaugh isn't even winning against MSU at this point, so it's not just Ohio State that's owning Harbaugh, Tucker and MSU are too. I've obviously beat the Luke Fickell narrative to death, but Fickell is still choice #1 and the first guy I'd make a play for. If he says no, then you take your loss and move on. I think Brent Vnebeles and Tony Elliot from Clemson would be two strong candidates as well. Two other names to consider who could fit that bill include Matt Campbell and Bob Stoops. Also, good coaches get fired all the time. Ohio State fired John Cooper for the very same reasons I want Harbaugh fired. Evreyone in Buckeye nation new Cooper was a good coach, but they also set their sights hired and didn't accept a mediocrity or adopt a losing mentality. They obviously took a gamble firing Cooper and going with Tresell and low and behold it worked out. Georgia fired Mark Richt and he had more success against his rivals in the tougher SEC than Harbaugh has had here in the Big Ten. If Ohio State in our own backyard can do it and Georgia can do it, no reason we can't either.

Harbaugh is 10-14 against ranked opponents and 2-13 vs. Top 10. I guess all of those ranked and top 10 opponents have Heisman caliber running backs too. Or maybe, the coach just turtles up and gets out coached versus better opponents. Ohio State just put 56 on MSU and contained Kenneth Walker to 25 yards and 0 TDs. Indiana contained Walker for 84 yards and 0 TDs. Nebraska gave up 61 yards and 0 TDs. Purdue did give up 137 yards but only one TD. Harbaugh and McDonald's defense surrendered 5 TDs and 197 yards. That is on the coaching staff, including both Harbaugh and Big Mac, for not coming out with the right game plan and not making the right defensive adjustments at halftime. Harbaugh routinely fails to respond with the right adjustments when other coaches change up their game plan and adjust. He also puts his kids in bad situations in big spots and loses the game for his team, see JJ McCarthy being put back in after fumbling vs MSU or Blake O'Neill not being given a max protect formation on trouble with the snap. When Ohio State blows the doors off Michigan 62-30 and Harbaugh improves to 0-7 against Ohio State what will be the excuse then? Harbaugh had the right game plan and the kids just didn't execute? Harbaugh is the worst big game coach at a major program I've ever watched, sans maybe Jeff Franklin. He and Franklin are one and the same, good recruiters who struggle with player development in certain areas, fail to make the right in-game adjustments, and come up short in big games. And again, I'll go back the same point I've made since his loss to Ohio State in 2019. When Harbaugh was hired in as the next coach of Michigan, if someone told you that in 7 years he'd have only once developed his own QB, been 0-7 against Ohio State, 3-4 against MSU including a loss to MSU when it was their coaches first year, no Big Ten championship appearances, no CFB Playoff appearances, would you have been satisfied with it back when he was hired? If you wouldn't have accepted it back then, why accept it now.

Not when they've been any good. Between Rich Rod, Hoke, and Harbaugh the program has one win over MSU when they've had a winning record, at a mediocre 7-6. Outside of that, Michigan over the past decade has only beaten State when they have a losing record.

You could add Michigan State to that sentence as well since we collapse annually against them as well.

Michigan is not better than Michigan State. Unless State has a god awful team, as long as their records are equal or similar, until Harbaugh can prove he can win in a big game and beat Mel Tucker and MSU, he can't say his teams are better Tucker got it done and Harbaugh folded like a bitch, like usual in big games. Forget about Ohio State next weekend, they are going to put up 50+ on Michigan.

Those who stay will be 9-3. I root for my favorite team, but I don't root for mediocrity. I'd be fine with the university keeping Harbaugh as long as they publicly admit that Michigan State and Ohio State aren't rivalry games anymore and that they don't have any intention or expectation to win those games any longer. Because if you keep Harbaugh, you'll never beat MSU or Ohio State. The most amazing stat to me, if Harbaugh stays here as long as idol Bo did he'd be on track to be 0-21 against Ohio State and 0-16 against MSU under Mel Tucker. It's going to be a long 21 years I guess.

LOL! 28 or 35, I just want a big enough blow out that it gets Harbaugh out of here.

Anyone who thinks Harbaugh can beat this Ohio State team needs to check their mental health. If they put up 35 on MSU at this point in the game they'd put up at least 50 on Harbaugh.

A nimrod like George Bush actually gained seats in his first midterm election in 2004 in the House. So not always. Granted, that was likely 9/11 related.

Justin Fields woulda got wrecked behind an OL that had no NFL caliber starting tackles, with Decker out and Sewell obviously not getting drafted. Sewell is proving thus far to be the right pick. We'll see in a year from now if that still holds true.

F*CK YEAH!!! Joe Manchin has a choice now as to how history will remember him, kindly or unkindly. Call Joe Manchin's DC office at 202-224-3954 and tell him that the American people support Build Back Better and the President's agenda. If you call. please be respectful to his staffers, but be stern in your support of universal pre-k, lower childcare costs, combating climate change, lowering prescription drug costs, and more.

A Christmas classic if you ask me and one of my favorite tunes all around. Some think John Prine's Christmas In Prison doesn't qualify as a Christmas song, but I disagree.

Really, what law was Philando Castile breaking when the cop unloaded 7 bullets into him? How about Elijah McClain? Breanna Taylor?

I think as apart of the Democrats George Floyd Justice Act they should mandate that every community over a certain size, 30,000 or more residents sounds reasonable, have a citizen review board or ombudsman to have independent oversight of police. If the community cannot provide adequate oversight to their PD then county or state governments should be mandated to step in.

It took over a year for the video to be released too. The cover up looks as bad or worse than the crime to the average person out there too. Why not release the footage right away.

Jordan Reed played TE for the Football Team I believe, if it's the same guy now working for ESPN. I'd be just fine with this mock as well. It gets us good players and fills needs. When Burks was picked at #26 I am assuming both Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave were already gone?

No one was in 2009 and 2013 either and yet they did. I'll grant that some people were thinking Hockenson in 2019, but most wanted a defensive player. I'm not ruling out Wydermyer as a potential pick unless someone in the organization or multiple credible media reports rule it out. They need a receiving threat and the organization may not view that need from the same lens we as fans do, ie receiving threat being a WR.

I might as well say it, since given the history of this franchise and the Ford's fetish with the position, what about Texas A&M TE Jalen Wydermyer with our second 1st round pick? I mean, we need receiving weapons in the worst way and no one said it has to be a WR. I wouldn't do it, but given this organization's history with the position and the fact that Hockenson looks like yet another 1st round TE a bust relative to where he was picked (I've been waiting to type Hockenson and bust in the same sentence since he was drafted), it is probably something worth looking out for.

Juwan's done something in two seasons that Harbaugh hasn't in six. That being advanced in a playoff game (much less make one) and beat both his rivals in Ohio State and MSU. If Howard was 0-4 against MSU and missed the tourney I'd be p'oed.

I'd love to see the basis of Trump/McConnell/McCarthy, who ballooned the national debt and federal budget deficit with their tax cuts for the ultra rich, being a conservatives.

I wouldn't do it either, I was just responding to what Shinzaki wrote. We need a dynamic edge rusher in the worst way possible and if I'm not taking a QB #1 overall than Thibodeaux is my guy.

I know that Kyle Hamilton is not just a traditional Safety and can be moved all over the field and schemed into different concepts given his athletic profile and versatility. I also know that past draft decisions by a prior regime should not dictate future draft decisions by a new regime. That said, there is something wholly underwhelming about having four Top 10 picks in a row and you come away with a TE, CB, LT, and S and not one QB or Edge Rusher/DE. I don't think you can pass on Thibodeaux for Kyle Hamilton. As good as Hamilton may be in coverage, creating turnovers, and adding versatility to this defense, we need a dynamic pass rusher capable of disrupting the QB and getting 10+ sacks a season that we can build this defense around. I don't know that Hamilton is a guy you're building the defense around.
