OTHER GAMES

We have at least one other thing in common with Meatchicken. Their defensive players like to celebrate their tackles when way are behind on the scoreboard. Is there a theme here?

I’m not sure if they’re rubbing off on us, or we’re rubbing off on them.
 
Michigan's back-up QB leads them on 4 play 75 yard TD drive. 2 point try (a pass) is successful. 35-11. This QB seems significantly better than the starter.

Michigan just recovered a fumble but it was overturned by dubious replay decision. There is no way it's indisputable that he didn't make a football move.

Exactly. What kind of move would you call that, ref? A ballet move, a Karate move, a bowell move...?

He does, but Wisconsin's D may have let up a bit after going up 35-3, especially since in not trying to score before the half, and then kicking the FG after, Michigan was giving all the "we've already given up on trying to win this game" signals.

That might be a great fit. He strikes me as a Big 10 sort of coach. He can certainly take a low level program and make them competitive (ISU). The big question is: can he revive one of the game’s great programs and have them winning championships again?

Wisconsin scores again thanks to a so so effort at tackling by Michigan defenders.

We’d better send Harbaugh that old DKR tackling video. Or if it’s just effort, maybe they need a Joel Osteen motivational speech/‘sermon’. :rolleyes1:
 
I didn’t watch the USC game, but I noticed on the highlights that a certain Bru McCoy caught a tipped ball in the endzone for a TD. Right place, right time. The ball just fell in his gut.

Arizona’s uniforms look like those of a low budget high school program.

Wisconsin up 49-11 and they have the ball

Final score in that came. Michigan looked terrible that whole game. Had 1 (!) yard of offense after the 1st Quarter. And you think Texas usually starts slow!

It's a shame colleges can't trade coaches like the pros do with players. I think both Texas and Michigan will be looking for new coaches after this year, while still shelling out 5 or 6 mill per year for each one of them. Maybe they should trade - that way both Herman and Haughan can have a new main rival they can't beat.
 
Season yes, but off season - probably not. Don't follow UM enough to know how many years Hau still has on his contract. I think I heard he's in year 6, so he's probably had at least one contract extension, and a la Herman, probably got 2-3 years extra put on his contract after some random bowl win, forgotten by everyone else in college football except that school.

With a few thousand fans in the stands, and probably even fewer games than Texas due to the Big 10's late start, Michigan is going to lose a mint this year, so not sure how much they'll be able to pay him plus another coach, and who would they get?

Penn State looked terrible today as well, being beaten by Nebraska, to go to 0-4. You wonder who if anyone they'll beat this year?

Wisconsin looked good - they'll probably win the west you'd think and play Ohio State for the Big 10 championship.

At this point, random guesses as to how the season plays out -

SEC - Alabama vs. Florida. Bama - Gators are good on offensive by terrible on defense. Saban figures out how to stop them enough to win.

ACC - ND vs. Clemson - Tigers load up with all their best players now that they've had the Chinese Chicken Pox and are immune, and win.

Big 10 - OSU vs. Wisconsin - you'd think OSU, but the big head could doom them if they waltz into this game and don't expect a tought battle. Why not - Wisconsin.

Big 12 - OU vs. Texas - take a wild guess at this one? Would two losses in one year to OU doom Herman - you'd hope so.

Pac - doesn't matter, no one cares, even their own fans.
 
Check this out. Cal is playing UCLA at the Rose Bowl today (Sunday). It’s about to start. Look for some sloppy early season play.

Cal blocked a punt, but got stuffed inside the ten. Cal settles for a FG. Cal’s pass blocking could use some work, based on that first series. It’s surreal seeing the Rose Bowl empty with a game playing.

Cal is putting heavy pressure on UCLA’s QB. Now a pick. Cal ball again. I like that Cal D front thus far. Bruins O looks very rusty.

3 and out for Cal after they got an INT near midfield. Both Os look out of sync. Or could it be those fearsome PAC 12 Defenses....
:rolleyes1::lmao:

Never ever think that we are the only ones with tackling issues. I think Cal also needs a copy of that old DKR tackling video. Michigan needs three or four copies. They can watch it on their team plane rides.

UCLA QB runs it in for a TD.

Bruins 7
Bears 3

Perhaps Briles could secretly get a name change, some plastic surgery, a moustache, and some groovy sunglasses, then discreetly come onto our staff as an overpaid "analyst" but actually run the show, run the (closed) practices, and call the plays. He would be barred from any parties, of course.

Yeah, although in my alternate universe, I would want his Texas HS recruiting, too, so the disguise would have to be removable.
Yes of course we are not serious. I’m just saying that if you really would consider Urban Meyer, Lane Kiffen, etc., then Briles is the real talent on the sidelines. I’m not sure exactly how, but what he did at Baylor (I’m just saying football, that’s all) was pretty unbelievable. And it was no fluke. He got better players, ran better plays, built a stadium, got them a Heisman, and had basically passed us by—starting with a school with no history and located in Waco of all places.
 
Briles on-the-field coaching was never the problem. He's really, really good at that. It's all that other stuff...
