I was reading back in this thread to catch up on Michigan’s season (haven’t paid much attention to any non-Alabama football this year) and I must say, these two posts stood out, for very different reasons.

I watched this DVD again the other night. Something I do every year. If you have an hour to kill, it's a pretty good little documentary. You might also find it on HBO on demand. It's not perfect, but it's pretty good. I'd give it a 9-9.5 out of 10.

The timing of it being filmed in 2006 when OSU and Michigan happened to meet as #1 vs. #2 the day after Bo Schembechler's death was uncanny. There's a shot where an emotional Earle Bruce (RIP) leads a room full of Buckeye fans in a moment of silence in remembrance of Bo. That was at the Buckeye Club breakfast at the French Field House that Saturday morning. I was there. You could've heard a pin drop. It was a unique atmosphere at The Game that day because Bo was both a Buckeye and a Michigan Man. Both sides shared in the loss of a good man and one of their own. 

Sadly, both teams screwed the pooch in their bowl games that year and Michigan hasn't fielded a team that good since.

I'm pretty sure that when I go to that tweet, the responses will be overwhelmingly OSU (MSU and others) optimistic about Jimmah getting an extension 
It is an a-Amaize-ing corner that the Piss & Blue have painted themselves into

I am optimistic that the vaccine will be ineffective and we will continue distancing and mask-wearing into 2024.

(Did I do that right?)

Not a damn thing sad about that bowl game.

Michigan: We like so much what this guy didn't do that we are going to give him more money and make us endure him for even longer!

I’m pretty sure Harbaugh’s new contract pays him less money and lowers his buyout. That’s according to John U. Bacon who was the first to break the story about contract extension talks awhile back. 

It will be interesting to see who Harbaugh hires to replace Don Brown as DC.

John U Bacon. Frankly, that sounds made up

He’s an author and a long time Michigan insider. You can see him in that HBO Sports documentary on The Rivalry that I posted above. He does a fairly mediocre impression of Bo Schembechler but he’s a pretty reliable source for info on Michigan athletics.

Yeah John’s the man. He’s super plugged into the program

Useless drivel that didn’t have any point.  The entire thesis is “maybe they were right, maybe they were wrong” 

Fantastic insight - flip a fucking coin

It’s like DKR always said: “You may be right. I may be crazy. Oh, but it just may be a lunatic you're looking for.”

I'm getting sick of the OSU Bucknuts getting everything they want.

No doubt.  Michigan keeps Harbaugh, Pedo State hires Yurcich as the new OC, Fickell still in the minors. He ain't God, but Ryan Day just might be Moses with the way everything parts before him.  Can't believe we have to rely on Schiano to find some more of that old Raritan magic just so  tOSU has a competitive divisional game one of these years.

I know the natural reaction is to laugh, but realistically there weren't many HC options on the market this year that were actually better. If Michigan's smart, they've re-structured his contract in such a way that they can more easily buy him out in a year or two.

That is exactly what they did.

Also cut his guaranteed salary in half.

He still had a year on the contract. Why not just sit and wait? Recruiting?

So I kind of like this approach. The carnival ride had just gotten too wild— either overpay or fire (and also overpay in the form of a buyout).

I’d like to see more schools try this out on coaches that aren’t disasters but aren’t saviors either.
