Imagine your program being so stagnant over a two-decade period that you’ve resorted to playing the “what-if game” so frequently.

And honestly all it did was irritate me; t forced me to play what if and I thought of Hamby.

Goddamnit

MGMT, I note that you only mention the play and don't attach blame or fault. I thank you for that.

Ryan was a student of mine in his high school days. He was obviously athletically talented and possessed a strong competitive fire. I would have loved to have had him on my track team as a 400, disc, long/high jumper because of that fire. I looked forward to seeing him play for the Bucks, especially after the years of watching the school's best athletes head off to Ann Arbor and South Bend. I shuttered with each offside and felt his pain when that pass bobbled around and then hit the ground.

What followed - the boos, the name-calling, the death threats - is the downside of college athletics, in fact, high school and grade school athletics. I've heard too many "adults" scream at kids, sometimes their own kid(s) mercilessly and it makes me wonder if they're trying to relive their own lives through the kids on the field.

Boo at the pros, the coaches, or the refs if you must. They're adults and they're being paid not to make mistakes. But Ryan was barely 21 when he dropped that pass, he was still learning. What followed has no business in amateur sports.

Of course. I was a high school receiver and my hands were wildly inconsistent; as you hear people on the sideline saying things you can develop a complex; it’s normal.

I felt more bad for him at the time than anything; I was mad we didn’t score, but I sincerely empathized because I know what it’s like to walk back to the sidelines and obviously I never played in a game of that magnitude.

That’s cool you got to see the guy grow up. Thank you for sharing.

Getting off topic a bit here, but is this Ryan now?

Social distanced - a perfect time to go back and watch the Bucks kill Michigan and Notre Dame. I have most of these on disks, some commercial, some from the years when you could Tivo and burn on the same machine. I especially want to re-watch last year's game with Michigan. Unfortunately, while clearing out a bunch of other programs I accidentally wiped out The Game. I've tried Big Ten Network - nothing but trailers, not even 60 minute replay - You Tube same thing - highlights, trailers, re-creations. Anyone out there know of a source?

And it seems the gap is only getting wider.

Ohio State continues to haul in commitments at a frenetic pace, currently holding the No. 1 spot in the 2021 class recruiting rankings, 48 points ahead of second-place Clemson with the Buckeyes the favorites to add a few more elite prospects in the near future, including two top-20 players.

Meanwhile, Michigan sits at No. 31 in the national rankings, holding just two commitments (albeit from highly-ranked players).

If Michigan's going to close the gap on the field, where Ohio State has won 15 of the last 16, it's going to have to start on the recruiting trail. And it ain't looking good.
