Happy I sold my Captain Comeback signed #4 football for $200 back when he took the Scum job. I probably couldn't even get 20 bucks for it now.

Wouldn't this be the second job in a row that Harbaugh has a well known riff with the higher-ups? Very well could've had an issue at Stanford as well that just wasn't talked about.

At a certain point Jim, you have to see the pattern and realize that maybe it isn't them, but you.

I honestly think Wisconsin is a winnable game for UM. They could still salvage this season but they need something from Milton. As much as people have crapped all over the defense, it's not a bad defense. It's that they had a great defense which carried the rest of the team. It's no longer capable of carrying a mediocre offense to ten wins.

There is certainly talent on their D unit, particularly upfront, but this is not the same defense that they've had in the past, I agree. They are particularly vulnerable in the defensive backfield but Don Brown has stubbornly deployed the same defensive strategy: Pressure the QB, leave the DBs on an island in man, and he got burned against a really bad MSU squad and IU took advantage of it as well.

I feel like Don Brown is washed up. He had the athletes to get away with it for several years, but now that teams have figured out the formula to beat them and they've simultaneously lost some talented DBs, he hasn't made the necessary adjustments.

But was he ever all that? Beating up on teams that suck and getting pantsed by good teams. Either he isn't as good as advertised or the athletes at those positions were mediocre.

I’m sitting in a bar watching ESPN and there is a gambling show that is saying ND and Mich have equal odds to win the CFP? Wtf am I just drunk?

Gosh Michigan sucks. The only good news for them is PSU might suck more so they could get a W next week. I hope our recruiting staff is all over these two classes right now.

Largest deficit heading into halftime at a home game since 1927 (against MSU). Historic levels of failure from Harbl. Amazing stuff.

These B1G refs keep trying to bail UM out with garbage calls. That fumble recovery is definitely getting overturned as an incompletion.

ND wins, and Meatchicken gets beat down by 39 at home on a big recruiting weekend.

Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day..
