2025 scUM Shenanigans, Arguments, Arrogant Twatwaffles, Emasculated Cucks, Feckless Marmots, Dirty Cheaters "Mid"chigan

Well, I actually liked the “devil I know” with Sherrone the next 2-3 years. But, I’ll enjoy the chaos for now.
I'll laugh so hard if their next coach goes all Fickell and tries to become a pass first team and ends up bad at both

Every play has an outcome. That outcome is skill + luck.

If you have more skill, you want to suppress opponents luck. You give them fewer plays, not more. You don't want to play Russian roulette (pure luck, no skill) with more bullets, you want fewer.

What you don't trust, especially hard to do after a loss, is our skill gap as we get deeper into the playoffs.

The correct strategy is to do better, not do more. We just saw a failure of execution, not of design.
I understand and agree to disagree. We're not good enough to only have a few bites at the apple and our defense is good enough to minimize what the other side can do. I think that given enough bites at it we will execute. We are that good on offense. I simply, at this point trust the defense more than the offense. Within reason, I don't think this defense needs to be protected with time of possession.

If they can get deep into Daddy Ellson's pockets - just about anyone.

They are clamoring for Jedd Fisch or Kalen DeBoer

I don't think either is that great. They might keep them being a 7-9ish type win team that Harbaugh had them at pre 2021 but it's not the flex that the DFBIA thinks it is.

Non-Playoff Bowl Games Discussion Thread

Games that might not suck based purely on the football or on the intrigue of matching up what's on the helmets:

Kennesaw State and Western Michigan (football)

UNLV and Ohio (football)

Clemson and Penn State (helmets)

BYU and Georgia Tech (football)

Tennessee and Illinois (helmets)

Iowa and Vandy (football, clash in styles)

Texas and Michigan (helmets)

Navy and Cincinnati (football)

That's about all I see

Boise and UW might be mildly entertaining football

Now that he's no longer employed by scUM, I wonder whether Moore will have anything interesting to say about the recent scandals up north.

I'm sure he's a got a lawyer smart enough to bring it up when they go to settle up being fired "for cause"

Then again, maybe he doesn't.

They became razor thin when we were deep into the second half. We had an opportunity to go up tempo to give us another drive if we didn't score or only tied it. Instead we put everything on that last drive. There is an argument for it, but given the earlier redzone struggles, I didn't agree with it real time nor do I now. That was a poorly managed game and it cost us. We should've been far more aggressive in the middle 8 too. If we come away with scores on the last possession of the 1st half and first possession of the second half, it's game over

You have convinced yourself that "going up tempo" = successful. If they couldn't execute well Saturday night at normal pace, why are you assuming they would at a faster pace?

Their problem was in execution, not opportunity.

What happens when you speed up and still don't execute? You just gave them the ball back faster, gave them more opportunity for their luck to overcome your skill. You voluntarily put an extra round in the chamber to play roulette with.

It's the exact opposite of what you want to do when you are the better team.
