A recap of the rats so far.....

12 players from the 2020 team have transferred or are in the transfer portal....

4 recruits, all 4-star prospects, have decommitted since December 16, 2020....

2 players from the 2020 team have entered the NFL draft despite having 3 seasons of eligibility remaining....

And the 2 most experienced coaches have been fired and replaced by guys with zero college coaching experience.

So to summarize, nobody knows what the fuck they are doing in Ann Arbor. I don’t even think God knows. Is that right?

I like it when one doofus says something a doofus would say, and then another guy comes in and calls the first guy a doofus. (I like it even more when I'm not the one being the doofus.)

Agreed. As much as Harbaugh does run his mouth, I do like his dialectical quote about a conversation which begins by asking "How good was Team #1xx?" which responds with talking about how we can't know how "good" this team was until they've become men, begun families, ascended in their careers, raised children, achieved highly, and given back to their community/contributed beneficially to the human race.

Football is a wonderful ritual which brings people together and demonstrates the beauty of athleticism, the symphony of cooperation, and dynamism of strategy, football is particularly gorgeous in this regard as it combines both the most brutal and beastial aspects (we're not talking "no hand-check" basketball), but also the formation and window-dressing aspects of group coordinated deception, and individual sacrifice for the greater good (only hockey is in the same tier). But it's not the be all end all to life, and 18-22 is not, nor should not be the pinnacle of a man's life (nor decade-ish for the 1% that go to the NFL), there's just so much more to experience, celebrate, and accel at in this wonderful world.

So, like Jim's quote, we can't judge how "good" this Team was, for another 40-50 years, when all the really, truly important cards have been played, and we really see what type of men these players went on to become.

So... basically, wait until the football players have gotten out of college and gone on to get married, have families, raised kids, gotten jobs, been a productive part of society, etc. before you judge them. I get it. There's a difference between "good" and "good". It reminds me of the Wreck-It Ralph line where he's in the Bad Guys Anonymous meeting, and the one guy says, "Just because you're a bad guy doesn't mean you're a bad guy."



But then the next guy comes in to call the first guy a doofus.

i can’t wait to scan linkedin and facebook in 2037 to find out if that ‘97 team was any good.

So the old "champions of life approach" then? Please don't judge me by what I'm doing right now, wait until I'm long dead. Classic.

You have to be some sort of special to try that particular rationalization card.
