Scruggs resigned.

[847badgerfan]

He blew a 0.16. Double the limit. Ouch.

Hopefully he can get his act together.

no excuse to drive drunk these days with Uber and Lyft apps. come on man. you've been making 6 figures coaching for several years now. you can afford a $40 or $50 dollar uber ride...

former 4* WR from the great state of Alabama, Karmello English (5'11, 190 lbs.) the #189 player overall in the 2023 247Composite rankings to the portal.

WR might be the thinnest position on the team right now....have to hit the spring portal for one or two.

Michigan spring game going to be nationally televised on Fox with Joel Klatt. Apparently so will Ohio State's.

Former Texas baseball coaching legend Augie Garrido was a notorious boozer, he really loved his wine.  He got busted for DUI one time, and after that the University simply provided him a personal car and driver at his disposal, at all times.  It was never an issue again.

This was before Uber and Lyft, but hired cars are still a thing even today, and all things considered are much cheaper than the alternatives.

WVU gave Huggy Bear a free suite in the University hotel with access to the bar at all hours, even when closed.  Plus a car, driver, and private plane.  He could throw away every set of keys he owned.  I actually know a former pilot who flew him on a recruiting trip to Cincinnati.  All he asked for was a fifth of vodka for each direction of the flight.  That's MAYBE a 45 minute flight.  He finished both.

And yet he got fired after crashing a car drunk in Pittsburgh last year, after driving drunk in the wrong direction, for about 45 miles, getting lost in Pittsburgh, during a Taylor Swift concert, so downtown was packed.  Some people, you just can't reason with

[utee94]

Yeah he sounds dumb.

Augie was pretty smart.  He accepted the car, and it was never an issue again.

I suppose he also had access to airplanes.  After he won Texas a second national championship, I imagine Texas billionaire Red McCombs let him fly wherever he wanted.

Michigan safety Rod Moore apparently tore his ACL in practice. F#%K! 

Kid is one of the best returning safeties in all of college football and is a stud, would've probably been a 2nd or 3rd pick had he come out in this draft. Hindsight is 20/20, but he probably should've left and went pro and got into his NFL contract money making years now. 

Keon Sabb hitting the portal because he wanted a starting job freaking hurts like hell right now. God damnit. Losing Moore for the year to an ACL would've been softened by having Keon Sabb ready to plug and play and start at a high level. Not having both of these guys in 2024 is downright disastrous.

That one stings. A moment to soak in everything that was this past season because it's a rarity to experience it and a rarity it will happen again any time soon.
