The University is going out of their way to cooporate while Harbaugh is playing dumb... The University wants him gone and he's ready to bail back to the NFL. So there might be more than just recruiting during the COVID shutdown and sign stealing. The NCAA is fast tracking this one so they can drop the hammer this season before he bails. This one might leave a mark on Michigan.

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
Gaffords replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
He got his first offer when he was in the sixth grade -
Exactly.... advantage Michigan! And it's both sides of the ball. Defense is playing the run... or blitz coming... that's probably bigger than the O-side. Maybe there's a reason they suddenly became so dominant? Thry probably should have spent more time on TCU's signals instead of spending it all on Georgia. lol. Changing signals at this point of the season will be a tall step. I think they only have 20 hours to practice a week which really isn't enoough as it is.

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
Gaffords replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
Colt wanted to come back in. He cried when he was told he couldn't. His dad was against it and so was Mack and the medical staff because he had no feeling in his arm for an extended period (still not right after the game ended) and they had no idea of the extent of the injury. -
It's not so easy to just change the signals suddenly on both sides of the ball. It's almost like learning the plays all over again. I can see ne signals being an issue in uptempo and hurry up situations especially.
-
I'm glad someone did. Supposedly they've done this to over 15 schools, so it's not just against conference rivals. Which means, I hope we've changed our signals before the game next year....

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
Gaffords replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
Quinn played his sophmore year, missed almost half his junior year. and skipped his senior year in HS. those last 2 years of HS is when QBs usually develop the most and come into their own. He sat out basically 2 years before his first college start as practically a true freshman in a new system for him and didn't get a full season in then either. He's like 3-4 games of playing time into his sophmore season. He's been behind the curve his entire college career and is doing good without even taking any of that into consideration. He would've had to tank this season for the NFL to shy away from him because the analyst see him as green still with his best football still being a couple of years out. After the stretch we had between Colt and Sam, Quinn is doing great. There is no reason to rush Arch because the Manning family is in no hurry to get him into the NFL, so it's likely they'll push for him to follow Payton's and Eli's lead and play through his senior year. They sent him here knowing he'd likely redshirt this year. -
No point. They will all be hitting the portal as soon as they can.

68 and a half to zip... no need to return any favors
-
If Ewers hit those thrown even at an average rate, he would be the undisputed Heisman and the number one overall draft, and this team would be seen as the team to beat for the National...

Not all. But there is already a group who are starting to question. FSU was the same, hell we were the same with Mack..... Granted, when winning, the vast majority don't question shit, but when you can find the fee posts or responses to posts on social media in the middle of the streak they have been on as of late, there tends to be a lot more who are also getting uneasy about what is going on for real.... I moved from Michigan a few years ago, but still have friends and family there. From what I hear, this newest thing has put a little rift between the boosters. There are a few who believe that if this turns out to be more than just a simple investigation, Harbaugh is headed back to the NFL and the University will wish him the best... Harbaugh is a good coach. He does what he can to gain every advantage... ... And there is a lot of Michigan people who think he's guilty of this. Not everyone pulls a Baylor with their fingers in their ears until there's no more denying, much less an aggy, who refuses to see anything no matter what until the corch hasn't led them to their "natty" after 5 years. He's done something to piss off the NCAA. They haven't done this much "investing" since who knows when.

Big 10 coaches have been complaining about him doing this for a couple of years now. It's not hard to key in on the real signal caller within a few plays. Match up the signals with the plays on the field and code cracked. Michigan fans are starting to get unhappy with all the smoke circling Harbaugh. It reminds me of Jimbo with FSU. The year after he won his NC, there was already FSU fans not liking the flies surrounding his program... Not all programs care to win at any cost. *Cough* aggy *cough*

It's a culture thing.

20 will be enough. Wins over a meh Auburn (wins over UMass, Cal, and Samford) and a real shitty Arkansas ( wins over WCU and Kent State), NM St, and LA Monroe doesn't make up for getting blown out by the only decent team they've played. They always believe they are going to be at Alabama, especially at home. They never lose qt home. Their 12th man advantage is too much for teams to handle... HAHA. They really believe they will beat Alabama this year, based on tu doing so. They can't help setting themselves up for those October setbacks. A September stumble and an October setback can only signify the sleeping giant is awakening so Georgia better look out. It isn't going to happen but it would be funny if we were to meet in a bowl game... How they are going to kick our asses and the excuses of why they are going to lose all in the same paragraph.... and the sweet sweet aggy tears. God I've missed getting drunk off aggy tears.
-
aggy has to be hating life these days. The media loves Texas. aggy can't watch any national sports show without it being "Texas"... But if one did, and happened to be watching ESPN College Football they were Iim for... well the question was. If the season ended today like it is. With Michigan, Texas, Florida State, Washington and Georgia ----!who would you leave out? The consensus was Georgia...
-
Now us forcing aggy out.... if the 2 pac holds it together for a couple of years, they'll start getting phone calls from an secsecsec school.

Game Week Thread Week 6, 2023: Red River shootout.
Gaffords replied to Wulaw Horn's topic in Football
Not saying we are winning the NC, but it will be amusing to see if the Big 12 takes full advantage of it's prestige in it's hype videos until our exit date which any other conference would and be dumb not to. But then again no other head office has so publicly talked down an exiting member (which reminds me, I wonder how that egg on the deputy's face tasted after our win over Alabama. So much for that losing to Bama is better than losing to LSU.). Much less, to publicly root for one conference playing another member. Us winning an NC on the way out and the BIG 12 not being able to use it's marketing value to its fullest, especially during BB season without looking completely petty would be priceless... maybe the new Big 12 commish isn't near as forward thinking and innovative as people believe... I remember another innovative and forward thinking commissioner, also light-years ahead of his peers. And how that worked out for the PAC.... I don't have an issue with the individual schools, they are butthurt because the floaties (UT for some. OU for others) they've relied on their entire existence are coming off and it's time to sink or swim on their own, but deep inside they know it's not our responsibility to be their safety blanket and they would be leaving too if they were in our shoes, at least.their fans do,.their administrations might be different. But the Big 12 conference as a whole, can fuck off.. -
Game Week Thread Week 6, 2023: Red River shootout.
Gaffords replied to Wulaw Horn's topic in Football
Quinn has actually has scary good numbers against the blitz. It's when he felt like the pocket was collapsing that his happy feet would kick in. But he's done much better with that also and started to climb the pocket instead of trying to back away. Quinn has off of these type of games (Bama x2 and OU. Sucks last year). Hopefully that continues. Outside of the Xs and Os, I like us in this game. Our players have been in this game before so the environment of the RRR won't be overwhelming (those who haven't, have a game at Bama under their belt). OU has 48 new players on their team and their QB hasn't taken a snap in the cotton bowl. Out players have a big time game under their belt this year in a wild, hostile environment (actually lost the lead in it and held their composure) OU hasn't seen either. Iowa St gouged OU on the ground for over 150 yards with only 190 yards passing. The only thing that stopped ISU's ground game was the score. Cincy moved the ball on the ground well also. But OU on the other hand struggled running the ball vs the only team they played with a decent run defense, Cincy, and it showed on the scoreboard. Our lines have worn out everyone we've faced on both sides of the nall, including Alabama's and OUs lines are no Alabama's in size or depth. That is why we've suddenly become a 2nd half-4th quarter team. No ones lines have anything left in the tank in the 4th quarter. The way we were able to grind the last 7+ minutes off the clock by running the ball up the middle against Alabama in their own stadium with only a 10 point lead says it all. They were still checked in emotionally, but not physically. I think the shock of us actually beating them topped with how we were able to manhandle them like that at the end of why they were checked out against USF. The only game that didn't end the same was Baylor The only thing that kept our games from being a complete blowout (including Alabama) wasn't their defense. We've left 1 or 2 touchdowns off the scoreboard in all our games that were there, but WTF mistakes by a player, and not defensive play have kept the score from getting totally out of hand. OU's best shot at a win is to get on us early and make mentally check out, because if it's close midway through the 3rd, things will start to get ugly for OU as our Big Nasties in the trenches begin to really impose their will... We've faced a strong defense this year without issues... The only somewhat decent defense OU has seen was Cincy and they cannot say the same. We've faced a good offense, be it with a backup QB, but seeing that he has a couple of years of experience as a starter, and was the starting QB for the Kansas opener this year, going 22 of 28 (78.6% completion rate), 2 TDs 0 INTs, to say he's inept at running their offense is, well... OU hasn't seen an offense to speak of. Personally, I think Texas comes to play and puts OU away without much issue. The score will probably not reflect what's actually happening on the field for awhile, but when it ends, there Will be a 2 or 3 score separation. Or this OU team might collapse once again. They've faces no competition, no adversity, and no Texas this year. So if Texas puts them in a hole early there could very well be residual effects from that ass beating they took last year. But it is football and we've all know, especially in this game, how good or bad either have been during the season leading up to the game doesn't mean shit. The only certainty in the RRR is that no matter how many times we hit them, OU will continue to suck no matter how hard we try to knock that suck out of them. Death. Taxes, and OU SUCKs -
Culture change and aggy... what can go wrong? Maybe the entire team hits the portal after the season instead of only half this year?
-
We have a long history of being hit by injuries at the worse positions possible for us, but it's only factored in when the other team loses due to their injuries.? Bwahahaha.. What's funnier is that he might be their backup, but he has more experience in games than Quinn. 2019 North Texas QB: he played in 7 games 22(ish) out of 35 attempts. 3 TDs 3 INTs. 2020 North Texas QB: he played in 8 games total and was the starting QB in seven of them. 2021 Started the first nine games for the Jayhawks … Set career highs in passing yards, attempts and completions at Duke 2022 saw playing time in every game. 2023 Started at quarterback in the season-opener … Completed 22-of-28 passes (78.6 percent) for 276 yards and 2 TDs. So it isn't like he was some freshman scrub. He knows the offense well and has a lot of experience running it.
-
Speaking of backups, there's a legit possibility that we would be 3-0 (with another Championship) instead of 1-2 vs Alabama our last three meetings if we'd not had to play most of the games with our hackups. They've been kryptonite with or against us.... There's no telling how a 2009 National Championship would have changed the last 15ish years for both schools. For us, it would have taken twice as many years to get rid of Mack and this would be the year we finally moved on from Strong, and heading into the SEC next year while ushering in the Herman wonder years.
-
Hahaha. The Dr Pepper commercial is perfect.... "Guys it was only the first play of the game (season)
-
Unless someone left on our schedule has the light switch come on, Kansas has the best offense we will face this regular season (possibly post season also). It's not surprising they kept it close the first half. Most decent teams in the Big 12 are going to. We will see the some super human (CO vs USC) type of shit until we finally wear them down and break them. Especially after we mudhole Mobilehoma next week. Not only do they all want to give us a ding on the way out, but knocking us out of playoff contention is the wettest of wet dreams for the B12 schools. It will be like the old SWC days when every conference game was THE RIVALRY game for the other school.

What i find interesting is that this moron doesn't know what a Bluebloods is. Turning a profit doesn't make a Blueblood. Without wasting any braincells on remembering all the Bluebloods that have come and gone, I'm not sure there's been 25 Bluebloods total... Bluebloods are schools who can generate enough revenue to shoulder the bulk of the cash for an entire conference, even through down periods. As revenue sources changed several old Bluebloods died.... It used to be in ticket sales, ECT they would generate at home and more so, on the road. Now it's media value... It isn't hard to separate the Bluebloods from the elites and the elites from the good programs... Now, among the select few true Bluebloods, there are three that are kings... Notre Dame, USC, and Texas. They've been called the Glamour programs by more than one national sports mouth... So besides money (Kelly from ND to LSU and who knows why else), it isn't hard to see why someone would leave OU for USC... Even when comparing apples to apples, they aren't equal.
