You know then that recruiting is EVERYTHING, you have to choose words these days that won’t ‘offend’ somebody. It wasn’t like that in the old days, nowadays one coach or another gets fired almost every day especially the younger set with all that woke crap going around. Not a wonder we hang on to history the way it used to be.

I’m just sad because now FSU is again kings of the ACC, and I really enjoyed all those years they were mediocre.

Painting fingernails, there’s no room for faggotry in football.

Wolverines had 11 natties the last century, that’s over 10% if you understand very basic math. Maybe this year too.

Never knew it. National and local sports programming keeping it classy, one would suppose.

His coach has been looking the other way, you know.

I wonder if Bo and Woody are friends up in Heaven. I’d have to guess yes. They respected each other even if they didn’t say that much out loud.

Michigan is one of three programs that have won titles in Football, Basketball and Baseball.

Of course you do know one of the other schools that has done it (all within the last 20 years, I might add)

And Michigan’s rival is the other one.

Woody is one of my favorite all-time coaches, although of course growing up as a die-hard Michigan fan I didn’t like him.

He actually taught an American History course at Ohio State, and it was certainly not “woke”, as he was a die-hard Republican.

I hate FSWho with a passion. They have the dumbest most annoying fight song in the country. IF I ever watch a game of theirs, I watch it on silent.

It’s too bad that they have actually rebuilt their program. I so enjoyed when they were invisible.

That was back in the days when coaches actually taught coursework at the university. Those days are long gone. Long gone.

I remember laughing with everyone when they lost to Jacksonville State.

But then I saw Norvell’s presser a few weeks later, and thought, that he would eventually turn it around, and they actually improved drastically as the season wore on.

And that’s what I hope to see with Napier, yeah, beating South Carolina on the road might not be all that impressive, but it certainly was a big deal finally getting a road win.

We’re only going to be favored against Arky the rest of the way, so 6-6 is a real possibility, all I ask is to be competitive.

No matter how good Michigan is on the field, the Buckeyes will always have The Best Damn Band In The Land!

Always.

Also most of the coaches back then were WWII Vets.

Yes, I like to watch good clean competition.

One of the reasons I hate FSU is that BB played dirty football. I watched with my own eyes.

Only Mexico plays dirtier than BB did.

I’ve not ever looked at that, but I bet they were.

"Michigan v Ohio State, Nov. 25, shaping up as the biggest game of the season."

The stakes will be high as usual, but Michigan is the real deal this season despite the cheating allegations. My beloved Bucks will once again need chaos to make the playoffs.

There is this also in the great white north, most national championships ever, eh.  ;-)

Was transferred to Reno for a couple years, it is still hard to believe that Las Vegas has a once great NFL team and a NHL team.

"I’m disgusted all those west coast schools will be joining the B1G 10 next year, ugh. Dilution."

Dilution? I see it as an upgrade to the Big 10. Finally Michigan and Ohio State will be challenged.

The Pac-12’s problem was too many of their big games were played late on the East Coast. Moving to the Big Ten should at least result in their games being earlier.

LOL, well I guess Florida can’t claim any Championships in Hockey, yet.
