Harbaugh has been known to go for 4th downs and miss. Sort of like if in the end none of the NFL teams offer and Warde leans back in his chair, smiling and says "Jim, I think your current deal suits you just fine."

I heard somebody, maybe Bacon, say they had $6-7 million in NIL lined up. Supposedly the story was that OSU spent $13 million last season.

The move away from extraction based energy will mostly be a boon for the people that live in oil exporting nations. This would seem ironic because it will make them poorer in the short term, but history is pretty clear that economies heavily dependent on resource extraction breed the most corrupt, least equitable governments.

So the Tigers just weren't accident prone enough under DD? 😉

AAA and AA staff now in place: https://www.milb.com/toledo/news/anthony-iapoce-to-become-next-mud-hens-manager https://www.milb.com/erie/news/seawolves-announce-2023-field-staff

there is still something about the layoffs that seems to affect northern teams more than southern ones. Sure they have all the training facilities indoor so the weather outdoors shouldn't matter, but I almost think there must be some kind of seasonal physiological reaction in the body as winter sets in around you.

Georgia actually could have given up 28 pts in TOs and they'd still be up by 20! If we are/were realistic about UM, on a pure football basis completely apart from Harbaugh considerations, they didn't have the secondary or receiver corp to reach elite status this season. If Harbaugh goes, and the odds seem to be increasing by the day, the hiring process should be as wild as any recent season has been. 🍿🍿🍿 I tend to believe he goes. He was essentially fired in SF, which hadn't happened to him before, and that has stuck in his craw and my guess is he wants to go back before the clock runs out on him and prove to the league that firing him was a mistake.

yeah - if the theory is that relievers are the most unpredictable players, then there is potential profit in trading them for more predictable players at other positions and backfilling with the unknown as some of them will turn out to be unpredictably good. That's the theory anyway. Harris is arranging for us to find out if it holds.

LOL - I'm sure a point a minute blowout was just what ESPN was hoping to broadcast. It's marker for how far UM is from playing in Georgia's league. The may have Ryan Day's number, but their chances of winning out this year were never what the fans wanted to believe they were on Nov 27th. But that's what fandom is about - so it's cool.

I'd rather they hire Harbaugh!

Unfortunately Al Avila has proven that is no recipe for pro sports success.

I don't know how workable it is anyway. Whether it's in person, remote, or hybrid, you set up a system/plans for that mode. Once you are in it, it's not like you can just switch it up a day here or there and expect to accomplish much.

The Pistons have lost 75% of their games. That's a fair argument that none of players on the team have been able to prove long term viability.

I hope Rasmussen eventually ends up back with Larkin. I liked that combination of size and skill.

The Wings still have a shot at '500 point rate' season, but not if they don't get out of their current funk soon.

First finish above 500 for any Detroit pro team in 6 yrs.

Weird how much different this team feels from Schwartz's or Caldwell's teams. This team feels like it's building toward something more. Even when those teams won, it felt like they were playing over their heads. I suppose if this team fails to get better next year we'll have to chalk up the feeling to fool's gold like in the past, but Holmes' drafts and the draft capital he still has to spend make me doubt we will.

Hellofva call to go with a pass into potential traffic. I figured the obvious call was the option run earlier where Goff handed it off, but would have been wide open if he had kept it. I guess Campbell decided GB would have thought the same thing. 😉

go for it. GB can win on a TD either way.

to run the play again and burn more clock. Collingsworth just called Campbell brilliant.

In the *long* run, electric vehicles should result in a lower manufacturing cost - but that's still a long way off, and the hybrids, which are the intermediate gas saving bridge, cost more to build so it gets worse before it gets better.

saw an acquaintance over the holiday who works at a local GM dealer. Said inventories were coming back into decent shape but no-one can afford what they have to sell.

that drive was too easy.

O-Line needs a 2nd half adjustment that's going to give Goff a little more time.

People who work at home don't put miles on cars....
