I voted for Scotty Boman that year. No, not the Red Wings coach, but the Libertarian Party candidate for Senate. That was my last election voting anything other than straight Democrat. May of 2012 was when my dad first confessed to me he was broke and his home was in foreclosure. How the hell could I keep voting Libertarian for a bunch of free market acolytes who would take away my dad's Social Security and Medicare. How could I vote for people who would look at my dad, shrug their shoulders and say "oh well, not my problem, should have made better choices with your investments and money." I don't think I voted for a single Republican in 2012.

The Republican Party is already a fascist clown car, I can only imagine how good it would get if Mike Lindell were running it. The party infrastructure would crumble and organizing would be non-existent.

Wisconsin would be a good landing spot for him if he is fully healthy next year. A great transition for Fickell's first year at the program so he doesn't have to trot out Graham Mertz again.

If you could be guaranteed that CJ Stroud or Bryce Young would be not be significantly better nor significantly worse then Jared Goff has been, would having a QB on a rookie contract be worth it? When Goff made the Super Bowl he did so on a rookie contract himself. Does having the extra cap space that a rookie QB contract can free up for 3-4 seasons make it worth it to gamble on Stroud or Young?

Auburn missed out on Luke Fickell and potentially Lane Kiffin with the latter opting to stay at Ole Miss. Rumor is now that they are looking at hiring Hugh Freeze. I think putting Freeze back in a big time SEC program like Auburn has disaster written all over it.

Herschel Walker should never, ever, describe anyone else as dumb as a brick. In-fact, it's an insult to bricks to compare them to a nimrod and dolt like Herschel Walker.

Of all the changes Harbaugh made to get Michigan back on track, finally firing Don Brown was such a huge and positive change. Can you imagine Don Brown coaching this game the last two seasons? He'd have blitzed his way into a loss. Props to Jim Harbaugh for finally recognizing that Dr. Blitz was making his defense worse and making the change. Also props to him keeping the same defensive system in place when Mike McDonald left and he brought in Jesse Minter.

Phenomenal hire for Wisconsin!

He's more mobile and doesn't turn it over quite as much. He's got 35 TDs to only 4 INTs on the season. He did throw 2 in a big game today though.

I'm certainly beginning to reconsider. I still think Stroud has all the physical tools to be a great QB. He has good vision and accuracy in general and throws a good, accurate mid-range and deep ball. But it seems that any amount of pressure rattles him a good deal and he really gets off his game.

I'm not going to rehash the anti Harbaugh argument much beyond this post, but the vastly inferior players he had are on him as the coach who recruits these guys. It's one thing if you need 2 years to reconstruct your roster, but we were 6 years into Harbaugh's tenure and he was 0-2 against Mel Tucker and 0-5 against Ohio. He had gotten blown out in the last two meetings prior to last year's win. He had a losing season mixed in as well, Covid or no Covid. Harbaugh has clearly proven his critics like me wrong. I wanted Harbaugh to succeed when he first came in, he was the guy I wanted as Head Coach after the Brady Hoke debacle ended. I was elated when Harbaugh was hired. After he went 0-4 against Ohio and got blown out the first time, I did want him to get the John Cooper treatment. I again wanted him fired after he guy blown out a second time against Ohio. I also wanted him fired after the collapse in East Lansing against MSU. Harbaugh took the lumps from his critics, recognized what needed to change and turned it around. That's a remarkable coaching effort to flip the tables the way he has. Especially doing so with the different QBs and Coaches he's had to do it with. Hats off to Jim Harbaugh and his entire staff for the job they've done turning Michigan into the team we all wanted them to be when he was hired

I was never hyper critical of JJ, so nothing to say there. But yeah, for the disaster and debauchery that were Harbaugh's first 5 years against Ohio, he's clearly turned things around and had this program turn a corner. Jim Harbaugh went from a guy who looked like he was incapable of winning big games to the guy we all hoped he'd be when he was hired. He's had his team's ready to go in the biggest game of the year two seasons in a row now. He and his coaching staff have done a magnificent job and it has gotten them into the College Football Playoffs as a result of great recruiting, coaching, and making the necessary adjustments throughout the season and game.

You love to see it!!!

Ryan Day is fast becoming Harbaugh's bitch! His and his coaching staff's inability or refusal to adjust their game plan is really something. I don't know if it's a case of they don't have the talent to adjust to do what they need or the coaching staff's own arrogance in refusing to do so, but Day and Ohio State are getting exposed.

JJ should get the game ball, but Michigan's secondary, particularly Mike Sainristil. Sainristil was sensational in man coverage all game long!

I love how aggressive Harbaugh and his coaching staff were all game.

242 yards rushing in the second half, simply incredible!

Ryan Day's arrogance is off the charts and it cost his team. They didn't make any adjustments and thought after the first quarter they could just keep playing the same way and they lost.

Also, fuck Ryan Day and Urban "Lap dance" Meyer for all their cockiness. Ryan Day got punked again like a bitch!

What a marvelous performance by JJ McCarthy and Donavan Edwards (with one hand).

This is absolutely Harbaugh's finest hour as a Head Coach. What a spectacular performance!

HOLY FUCKING SHIT, THIS IS AMAZING!!!

Ohio State's defense is broken it seems!

WHAT A GREAT FUCKING PLAY!

I really don't like that decision not to punt there. Gotta pin them deep.
