2023 Michigan Season Thread

Brent Venebales and his defensive staff at Clemson were notorious for stealing signs...Ryan Cooper even publicly cried about it

”Seems to always know exactly what the other team is doing in terms of the plays that they’re running, each play,” Day said of Clemson DC Brent Venables. “Seems to call the right defense into that play a lot. Why that is, I don’t really know. But I can tell you he’s been doing it for a really long time.”

One coach termed it this way: “They are incredible at it. When you play them, it’s not an even playing field, they have so many [analysts] who are able to do that.”

“If they don’t have a plan for Clemson’s signal stealers, then Clemson is going to know every play,” said one of the coaches. “They should be in the KGB stealing communications, they’re that good.”

The unknown element of the stealing also nudges into a gray area that makes for compelling fodder. “To me, it’s like in baseball watching a third-base coach and trying to figure out a bunt or a steal sign,” said one of the opposing assistants. “To me, it’s the game within the game.”

Everyone does it. Jeem's low-level staffer just got the whistle blown on him. Beyond naive to think he was the only one doing this shit.

How about we just get mics in the QBs and MLBs helmets like the NFL and everyone can stop crying about it...

Yep. And Ohio State used a huddle. The last time they played Clemson in the college football playoff.  And what was the result? Ohio State blew them off the field.

You mean Ryan Day, the current best winning percentage among active coacheddagainst rank teams?  Versus cheater cheater, booger eater, who hasn’t won a fucking thing yet.  What’s his record against rank teams? What’s his bowl record? What’s his record in college football playoff?

Stop slurping the cheater dude.  It is very unbecoming.

I believe the booger eater has won back to back B1G titles and is the betting favorite to win his 3rd. Which if happens- would be 3x the amount of B1G titles as Cryin' Ryan Cooper- and be 3 straight W's vs Mr. Born On 3rd Base. 

Not the biggest Jeem fan. Annoyed with the NCAA. It's pretty obvious they have a hard on for the guy.

Huh?   day has already won 2 big ten titles.  
Andy college football playoff game.  A couple of them.


Crickets….

My bad, I thought Day only had 1 B1G title. Forgot about the wretched COVID season- for obvious reasons as it was a disaster for Michigan. I've blanked that season from my memory, apologies. 

I am just trolling a bit, I think Day is a heckuva coach.

Sleep is a biggie and i never get enough.One nite I don't hear thunder or firetrucks - next nite a leaf hits the roof I'm up

We built our house in 2017, moved in that July.  Those first two winters, until it finally settled, if there was any wind, I could not sleep.  You heard everything from the master bedroom

ESPN's FPI gives Michigan a 49.9% chance to beat Penn State, meaning FPI favors Penn State. 

Meanwhile, S&P+ has Michigan ranked #1 overall and Penn State 12th.

Michigan has been tops or at the top at every one of these every week...schedule is what it is- but they are absolutely crushing the life out of everyone they play right now

Well of course the two of you in the the master bedroom the 1st couple of years - that is to be expected

I’m sort of there. We moved into our new build in January. Thankfully my wife lets me sleep with earplugs in and she unfortunately deals with loud sounds, which are normally kids up.

Nah, first year in the 2nd house...with 2 kids.  I barely saw her.  I interacted more with you degenerates.

JJ McCarthy now the betting favorite in Vegas to win the Heisman. Don't think he'll get the #'s to do it, but if he plays well vs Penn State and Ohio State he'll get an invite to New York. Doesn't even necessarily have to light it on fire, just needs to take care of the ball and play well and get W's. He's just not going to put up the insane stats to win the award that it requires.

We both are 2002 HS graduates, and she directs the HS musical.  So I can't think of who that awful T Mobile ad is more targeted to, and she also can't stand it

Our house is 30 years old, and during a thunderstorm it shakes like dice on a Vegas crap table. Our old house in St Paul didn’t even think about moving.
