It's a very intense arrogance.

I sorely wish we had gotten a couple more injury-free years from him. He was an unstoppable force as a redshirt soph in 2019.

As far as I know, this is currently a one-way pursuit. DeBoer may have zero interest because of the situation at Michigan (I still can't believe Manuel has kept his job), or just because he likes his current job and wants to succeed at Alabama. But, if he wants to get back north and coach in the...

I don't disagree with any of this, I'm just passing along what my connected Michigan donor friend told me. But they are going after DeBoer, and getting him to commit now would be the opposite of a panic hire, it would be an absolute home run for Michigan. Does DeBoer want to do that, given the...

Someone named Trillion from Edina feels both very cliche and very on-brand.

He took Washington to the national championship game. He can coach. And who cares if he doesn't have ties to the state of Michigan. That feels like a Minnesota "not one of us" excuse. Did that help Sherrone Moore, or Brady Hoke, or Gary Moeller compete for national championships?

My Michigan booster buddy said the same thing.

I’m hearing that Michigan is going to wait DeBoer out because he’s the guy they want, and are having back channel talks with his agent. If he loses to IU on Jan 1 they can introduce him on Jan 2 and he can start hammering the portal. Even if they keep advancing, Michigan’s willing to take a one...

Kenny Dillingham is now off the market, and Michigan's coaching talent pool drains just a little bit more. They have to either be waiting for DeBoer or committing to Pogi for an interim year (doubtful).

So what’s Michigan’s plan B for their coach now? Not to be confused with Sherrone Moore’s Plan B.

Does anyone else find it odd that the OU coaching staff clothing has prominent Air Jordan logos all over it, but no OU logos? They’re a Jordan brand school, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a major college football program eschew their school’s marks for a corporate brand like that.

That was a rough last 5 minutes for OU. Wide open receiver dropped a sure TD pass, then their punter flubbed his drop and Bama recovered for a FG, then a pick 6. Turned 17-7 to a tie ballgame.

Not calling the athletes "labor" is legal semantics and nothing more. It's undeniable that there is now a meaningful cost to attracting a player to a school and keeping them there (beyond the scholarship) that did not exist 5 years ago, and it's creating an even larger chasm between the haves...

If you care to survive as a viable program you absolutely have to play by the same rules as everyone else. Schools that don’t won’t be relevant; they won’t even be semi-competitive. Labor costs aren’t always direct. NIL is a de facto labor cost maintained by outside collectives, but they...

It's absolutely both, because outside of the Big Ten and SEC, the other conferences are falling way short on the revenue side comparatively, but they're having to play by the same spending rules as the big boys if they hope to compete. So, labor costs are skyrocketing, but revenues aren't...

During my fandom it’s: Lenard Lewis Hoffarber Lynch

The decimal would need to be moved over two places to the left.

Why did I think Vo was already up there? He's definitely wall-worthy.

I can see only 2 whose body of work are legitimately deserving of banners: Bobby Jackson and Jordan Murphy. But if we're retiring numbers, it has to be 72, as a tribute to the number of days Gophers legend Kris Humphries endured in his marriage to Kim Kardashian.

My buddy specifically said he wouldn't pull his (significant) contributions if PJ was hired, but he absolutely would if Brian Kelly is.
