Today was one of those redline moments where Trump simply crossed yet another redline. I am not naive enough to think any of the cowards in the GOP will do anything about it. They will not. But Donald Trump needs to be removed from office. He cannot remain in power another minute longer. Even if it won't be done, it needs to be said. The 25th Amendment needs to be invoked. This cannot continue on another day longer. JD Vance would be a terrible President as well, but I'd like to think we'd at least not be attempting to annihilate and genocide an entire country's worth of people. Furthermore, every Democratic politician and every Democratic candidate needs to be clear in calling for his removal from office and clear in their support for the 25th Amendment. This is no time for cowardice nor political calculation. We shamefully allowed and funded a genocide in Gaza to occur. What Donald Trump is threatening here to the Iranian people would be on a scale a thousand times the destruction, death, and war crimes that have been perpetrated in Gaza. And that was horrific enough. There can be no politicking around with this or testing the polls to see what people think. We are in both a Constitutional and humanitarian crisis. People's lives are in grave danger thanks to our deranged, lawless, and out of control President. Remove Donald Trump from office now! Invoke the 25th Amendment now!

Agreed with all of this. I have offensive line prospects that I prefer over Proctor, but who am I. I like Blake Miller, Monroe Freeling, and Caleb Lomu as much or more than Proctor. Miller and Freeling both project as true tackles in the NFL, whereas Proctor is a tackle/guard combo. I also get Aaon Gibson flashbacks with Proctor. I know it's not fair or right to compare a guy to someone who played 25 years ago in a different regime. But as you said, the weight is going to be a factor throughout his career. The last time a Lions regime took a gamble on a jumbo offensive lineman it failed miserably with Gibson.

What a world we live in where Marjorie Taylor Greene and Alex Jones are calling for the 25th Amendment to be used on this man. Both of them are still terrible people, Jones especially. But even a broken clock is right twice a day. If only either of the two would have called for this after the attempted coup on January 6th or any of the other crazy and lawless moments we've gone through with Trump.

So I'm going to the taxpayer subsidized LCA arena tonight for the game against the Jackets. I agreed to go to this game with two friends of mine back in February when we were still riding high and hadn't fallen apart yet. I anticipate we will lose, so it's not like I'll be incredibly disappointed.

I hate the way the system is, but it's how it is. Dusty May is doing what I pleaded for years for Harbaugh to do. He's doing it the SEC way and finding success because he's a great coach himself. It's really ****ty that this is what college athletics has become, but at least Michigan finally caught up in the NIL era.

Michigan's defense was amazing all tournament long. They smoother everyone and win every lose ball rebound. Their shot blocking is incredible too. They are in position and on the ball like crazy. It was Michigan's defense that got them through the dance and got them a National Championship. One of the best defensive performances in the tourney in recent history. They destroyed Tennessee and Arizona, then kept UConn under wraps for much of this game. Great job by these kids to play shutdown defense all tournament long.

Chris Webber traveled all that way to finally see Michigan win a National Championship. I hope he takes some time out for partying on his trip.

Juwan Howard trying to fist fight a coach was a real low point for this team and here we are now celebrating a Natty!!!

All the scandal and turmoil over the last couple of years in their athletic department, this makes it worth it. Dusty May has run a hell of a program and built a championship program and a college basketball powerhouse!

NATIONAL CHAMPS BABY!!!!!!!!! It's great to be a Michigan Wolverine!

How do you play 39 minutes of solid basketball just to forget how to pass and inbounds a ball during the last minute of the game. Let's go Michigan, don't ruin our collective nights.

Michigan doing everything they can to blow this.

Good depth signing and glad to have Maddox back. He's the kind of depth piece you want to have around and a veteran presence who can start in a pinch as needed.

I want an OT in the first round. I want this line to get back to being the elite offensive line it was back from 2022-2024. I also think they very well COULD draft an OT in the first round. But could is different than will. I maintain that I think Brad and Dan's plan is to take the best player available on their board, who fits what they are looking for, at a position of relative need. Which means I don't think it is certain they will draft an OT in the first round. They aren't going to reach for an OT just to take one. They also aren't doing something absurd like ranking Ty Simpson or Jeremiah Love on their board and drafting a QB or a RB either. I do believe they will have certain position groups (OT, DE, DT, LB, CB, S) that they look at as core needs and then rank the players from there. Once they do put their final big board together and rank those players, I think like always, they're going to stick to their board and not reach on a player just for the sake of filling a position need. Some Lions fans seem to think it is an open and shut case that they will take an OT and that other positions groups are absolutely out of the question. Myself and others aren't so certain about that being the case. If they have a DE, DT, LB, CB, S on their board that they like more and have rated higher than one of the available OT prospects, they will take their player over the OT. They are going to draft for the talent, scheme, and culture fit they like over just taking an OT because we think they need one. Based on what Brad has said thus far this offseason I do think they look at Larry Borom as their starting RT. Maybe that's all just a deflection and Brad has to say that so as not to tip his draft had or whatever. Though, I don't see how Brad saying anything one way or the other about Borom at all tops his draft hand. But some here seem to think it does. But I think Brad meant what he said about Borom and that it is highly probable he ends up their starting RT and they don't draft one in the first round. Again, I want them to draft a tackle in the worst way. I want a Monore Freeling, Blake Miller, or Caleb Lomu. But if they have a Caleb Downs, Mansoor Delane, Kendrick Faulk, Zion Young, Jacob Rodriguez, whoever ranked ahead of a OT prospect who is available when they pick, I think they could draft that player from that particular position group.

Rakestraw tore his ACL at Missouri too, so it wasn't just the sports hernia injury that he had.
