Curious if Chip had an influence? Can someone smarter than me break down smash, gap, wedge, or whatever concepts go into OL blocking? It seems that there are some assholes whom only follow their scheme and go. Chip/Frye seem to workaround.

Not only that. That 46 harder looked like it would have been good from 55 which is something I haven't seen from him

6 conference teams ahead of us in the polls. That sucks

I’m fully aware that none of our expectations mean jack shit in the grand scheme of it all. Did I go on the Stroud thread and blow it up with negativity? Nope. I pride myself in being positive on this board and in the stadium. That being said, I was at that particular game with my buddy and we had a private conversation on the car ride home about our concerns. Did we think that conversation would change the trajectory of that years team? Hell no, we just talked football because the post game analysis is something we enjoy. It’s what fans do, man. This board wouldn’t exist if such conversations didn’t occur.

For sure. There’s a huge difference between what you describe — my words, rational discussion — and some of the reactionary bullshit that is well… less rational.

Your personal standard is your business. Other people have different ways.

Wagging your finger at other adults like a Sunday school teacher admonishing them for failing to live up to your standard (which is of course the only right way to be a "real" fan) requires a shocking, but not all that uncommon, level of self importance.

Kinda feel like I was responding to your prompt, no? If you don’t want to hear something you may not like, don’t fucking ask or reply. Simple as that.

It's not unreasonable that we have two left tackles drafted reasonably high this year, which is wild.

I feel like teams are gonna seriously consider Donovan as a tackle after the playoff run.

I can almost abide the 13-10 stuff. They have bragging rights. And that's fine. But to call our title "illegitimate" while they're under investigation for the worst on the field cheating scandal in the history of the sport is just classic DFBIA. Like, take your bragging rights, but shut up about everything else because it's all fake.

I get it that the NFL and college football are different, but the Super Bowl champion is never undefeated. I know the last one was the Dolphins in about 1971. Did any ever go undefeated before them? I'll guess "no". So how many times does a team beat the team that won the Super Bowl, and then people say that that Super Bowl win is illegitimate? For instance, let's say that the Ravens win the Super Bowl this year. Will Browns fans say that it's illegitimate? Afterall, the Browns DID beat the Ravens. It's so lame to use that as an excuse for saying it's illegitimate.

Or, the part about not winning the conference. Has a wildcard team ever won a Super Bowl? Has a wildcard team ever won the World Series? Has an at-large team ever won the NCAA championship?

What year did *ichigan try to win a basketball championship? About 2015-ish? 2010? I'm pretty sure they didn't win the Big Ten championship - neither the regular season championship nor the Big Ten tournament.

Dear *ichigan fans: Your arguments are bad. Don't be lame.

"Due to an Illness"

I have no idea why they only played Kennedy 7 minute either because she's been on fire lately. One of those stupid head up ass games all around staff and roster apparently. My bad for missing it with my own illness. I will strive to do better.

@jwinslow are you the photographer of the above photos I posted? Linked them from the Ozone and didn't see a watermark, but was just noticing the post linking your photos on x.com and they look to be yours. Great fucking work if so.

That's some impressive craftmanship

Take the NC out of the equation, which win was most satisfying to you?I kindofbexpected the blitzkreig of Oregon, beating Tennessee was fun, but they weren’t Georgia or Bama. That brings me down to Texas and ND. Difficult choice, but beating ND save us from a tidal wave of media hoopla about the trophy being back where it belongs and would greatly help them in Midwest recruiting wars. So, yeah, I liked the win over ND the most.
