Yes it is time to rethink it. They'll never do it, but the college football playoff games should emanate from home stadiums of the higher seeded teams. Only for the championship game should it be at a neutral site.

We've got Larry Ellison money, spend big on both. Outside of WR and the need to develop Underwood, did Michigan have a bigger need this past season in-terms of players on the field.

What WRs worth a damn has Sherrone recruited and added to this team? Maybe Andrew Marsh develops into a legit #1 WR. Whether it was Sherrone or Whittingham, WR is one of this teams biggest needs and they were going to have to hit the portal for a good one in all likelihood. I think Whittingham and his staff should be reaching out to Marsh and working to get him in maize and blue next year.

This City Journal Focus Group of Gen Z Republicans is really wild. Gen Z Republicans are as bad or worse than old Boomer Republicans.

This organization loves the next man up approach whenever possible. My guess is they will either give Scottie Montgomery a chance or bringing in someone, akin to Morton, who was under their umbrella previously like a JT Barrett. I think they should go and get a higher profile OC who has run a successful offense before. If Mike McDaniel gets let go in Miami or Zac Taylor in Cincinnati, they'd be a top choices of mine. Rams Passing Game Coordinator Nate Scheelhaase would be a name I would be interested in as well. I think this organization is married to a certain way of doing business, so I don't know if we'll get an outsider, not from the Campbell tree, to come in. I'd like to be wrong and think they can deviate from the plan though.

And the Rams just lost to the Falcons. So of course this is the year we don't make it in.

Oh I've had no issue rooting for a loss in the past. I don't like doing it per say and it sucks we are at this point. I'd rather this game be for the division or a playoff spot at minimum. I'm not some sicko who wants to lose. But when losing presents the better option for the long-term benefit of the team, I'll take it.

Please lose, I guess. I can't believe I'm back to talking about tanking and draft position, but here we are. A loss would make their schedule that much easier next year as they will clinch a 4th place schedule. With the right combinations of other teams winning and losing they can move up to as high as the 12th pick in the draft. If Miami, Tampa, and Dallas all win we can move up to the 12th pick in the draft I do believe.

Now that Wittingham is in place as Head Coach, his first recruiting priority should be not to let MSU WR Nick Marsh leave the State of Michigan. They need to back up the NIL dump truck full of cash and bring him to Michigan. No reason whatsoever that Marsh should not be getting a call and a generous offer from Michigan. He's a native Detroiter after all.

This had me thinking of Frank Pantangeli from The Godfather 2. They wanted information so I told them Michael Corleone did this and Michael Corleone did that, ehhhhh but it was all lies. All of it. Hey, Trump's inner circle is a lot like the mob too.

I get that, but throughout his career he's managed to play full seasons or nearly full seasons almost every time. I don't think we can't say that he's injury proned in the same way Davenport or Paschal or Levi are injury proned.

Yes. I think we have an idea as to why that is. This isn't me trying to be slick saying they could have taken Carter over Gibbs either. Just an interesting thought about what could have been.

This is a pointless stat, but watching Jalen Carter play and be effective tonight in the Eagles/Bills game it got me thinking. Since 2000 only two RBs drafted in the first round made a Super Bowl with the team that drafted them. Joseph Addai with the Colts and Clyde Edwards-Helaire with the Chiefs. Conversely, 22 DTs drafted in the first round have made a Super Bowl with the team that drafted them.

Someone's going to have to Nancy Kerrigan Crosby first for Holmes to be interested. The guy has played in waaaay too many games throughout his career for Holmes to be interested. Too highly priced and not enough cap value that an injured player offers. I've given up on the idea of Brad making a splash move for now. I think something substantial needs to be done, but given where they are headed salary cap wise, I can't see Brad pulling the trigger on a player as highly paid as Crosby. You're more likely to have them run it back with Marcus Davenport than you are getting Crosby.

So he wanted to play with a mentally ill coach and a serial philanderer but Whittingham was a step too far?
