2025 scUM Shenanigans, Arguments, etc.

Jesus Christ. These all powerful men behind the curtain who were hell bent on taking down Jim Harbaugh were fine with Saban dominating the sport for what felt like 30 years. They were fine with chuckle fucks like Les Miles, Ed Orgeron, and Gene Chizik falling backwards into titles. They were fine with Urban doing it at 2 different big boy schools. But Jim Harbaugh was a bridge too far.
They didn't like him because he was "quirky." Duh.

Michigan does not have a live mascot comparable to Ohio's Brutus Buckeye. The Athletic Department has steadfastly maintained that such a symbol is unnecessary and undignified and would not properly reflect the spirit and values of Michigan athletics. Over the years a number of individuals and groups have proposed mascots in a variety of wolverine costumes but the department has refused to sanction them. Instead, it continues to rely on the wolverine itself as the symbol of Michigan sports.

As early as 1861, the students and alumni began referring to themselves as "Wolverines." How the ferocious animal came be associated with the state and adopted as the university mascot remains a bit of a mystery, but there are several theories.

Fielding Yost set out to find a wolverine in 1923, after seeing Wisconsin carry live badgers along with its football team. Yost's desire met with difficulty, as the coach had problems finding a dealer of live wolverines. After a letter to 68 trappers yielded no mascot for his team, Yost expanded his wish to any wolverine, alive or dead.

Yost was finally able to obtain a mounted wolverine from the Hudson's Bay Fur Company in the fall of 1924. Captain Bob Brown posed with taxdermied wolverine on Ferry Field in 1925, improbably holding the ferocious critter on a leash.

Yost's quest for a live wolverine would continue.

In 1927, 10 wolverines were obtained from Alaska and placed in the Detroit Zoo. On big football days, two of these wolverines were brought into Michigan Stadium and carried around in cages.

However, the animals grew larger and more ferocious, and as Yost stated, "It was obvious that the Michigan mascots had designs on the Michigan men toting them, and those designs were by no means friendly." Therefore, the practice of bringing wolverines into the stadium had to be discontinued after only one year. However, one of the wolverines was not returned to the Detroit Zoo. Instead, "Biff" was put in a cage at the University of Michigan Zoo where students were able to visit him at all times. It is not known how long Biff survived or remained at the campus zoo, but by the the late 1930s Yost was in search of a new wolverine mascot.

Underwood is definitely more physically talented than what they had at QB last year, but it wouldn't shock me if their offense is actually worse this season.
I'm on vacation at the beach this week. I've seen a group of tweens playing 2 hand touch beach football that were more physically talented than what they had at QB last year.

He wasn't on the field, but "Hoosier the Bison" remained in the hearts of Indiana Hoosiers fans for generations. And now, he's back. Indiana announced on Tuesday that Hoosier the Bison will return as the school's official mascot.

Hoosier will be back for the 2025-26 academic season. with his first appearance coming in Indiana's' 2025 college football season opener against Old Dominion on Aug. 30.

In December 2024, the Indiana University Student Body Congress passed the "Bring Back the Bison Act." A Bison has historically been a state symbol for Indiana, with Hoosier the Bison debuting in 1966 but then being asked to leave after 1969.

Hoosier the Bison is returning to Bloomington at a time when Indiana sports are on the upswing. On the gridiron, the Hoosiers are coming off an 11-2 season highlighted by the program's first-ever appearance in the College Football Playoff in Curt Cignetti's first year as head coach.

2027 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

Exactly. I'd rather build the lines from tansfers than overpay for freshman who will transfer before they play.

We have already shown that we can utilize the transfer portal very well when it comes to OL. '

Obviously you don't want to be building whole lines from the portal, but a guy or two here and there to bridge the gaps works very well when executed properly.
