We need guys who like to tackle. careful now He "struggles" mainly because at the end of the year we have an elite team in the middle of their best run ever. He's been playing from behind and trying to close the gap. Throw in some just unlucky breaks, and here we are (inb4 any of the crazy/idiot buckeye fans jump in and say some nonsense). It will be interesting to see if Day can maintain what Meyer built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were also many fans now happy with ownership in SF for running Harbaugh out of town essentially. Frank Gore was a big fan of Jim. He pushes players to be the best, constantly. That doesn't sit well with some NFL players that are themselves adults and being paid millions. It is what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLD Woody Posted January 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 It would be interesting to see how Meyer performs in the NFL. He clearly knows a ton about football. Watch him on Fox or anywhere else. He's a student of the game. One advantage he had though in college was that he could get the best players (like Saban). It's an advantage to go into most games with better talent. That's part of being a college coach though, recruiting. It just doesn't play a factor in the NFL. (and if you know anything about his time at Florida, there's a lot of unsavoury stuff that went on there that helped get that talent... of course, again, he won't have to worry about that in the NFL. Won't have to worry about the Zach Smith issue either. Etc.) It would be purely if he wants to show off his technical coaching chops and to go down as one of the best ever.

No. Anyone that is reasonable understands bowls don't mean much. Didn't help we were matched up against one of the most talented teams in the country, because Michigan always gets pushed up the bowl picks because our alumni/fans bring money. Plus, if anyone actually watched the bowl game and know what they're looking at, it wasn't as bad as the score. We led at half, Bama pulled away late and scored again at the end (no issues there, Najee's last game, let him score). The gameplan was good and the play made sense. Shea missed too many passes deep, too many mistakes at critical times, and Bama's elite palyers (namely Judy) showed why they were elite. It would have been fantastic to win but even that really wouldn't have mattered. All we have to deal with now is an offseason of stupid hot takes from people that don't actually know anything and just want to get clicks on articles/videos. Oh well.

It was a competitive game for the first half, for sure. But here's the rub... TTUN brings in Harbaugh to break the stranglehold that Ohio State has on the Big Ten and them specifically. Do you honestly think TTUN is any closer to Ohio State than the day he walked on to campus? How many seasons has he had? Four? Five? I might break your balls for fun Woody about this every once in a while, but I think you also know I can be objective about these two teams too. I'm not saying this to be a Buckeye homer, it is honestly what I see. Like how honestly I'm wicked jealous that the majority of Steelers fans HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED A STEELERS HEAD COACH BEING FIRED IN THEIR INBRED, MOTHERFUCKING LIVES. 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're one of the good/sane ones. I appreciate that But 1000% yes we're closer than we were under Hoke. It isn't even close. Anyone that follows Michigan football closely knows that. All but maybe 5 teams in the country would have problems with OSU. We easily could have (refs, nonsense, cough) won in 2016. Had a great gameplan the next year but a terrible 3rd string QB. We're beating the teams we should, MSU is gone, our OL depth is back, etc. I could go into all of the details if needed but yes we are very clearly in a much better spot.

I believe that the Big Ten should adopt a bowl game policy: We will not send our teams to play bowl games in the home territory of the league they are playing. It seems that every year they are playing bowl games vs. say SEC teams that are played in SEC territory....Florida/Louisiana etc. etc. They should say: We will play Pac 12 teams in SEC territory.....and we will play SEC teams in Pac 12 territory, but we will not play those teams in their home territory. If those other leagues don't like it...they can schedule bowl game between themselves. They WOULD have to accept that deal, because the Big Ten is what brings in the out of state tourists to those games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
