Kind of an unsung hero on this DL. Some other guys get more love, and he is often an edge setter, which isn’t sexy - but damn if that kid isn’t a stud.

Our DL next year is going to be generational.

‘Bama DLs were clearly coached to keep their hands up, trying to tip or block JJ’s passes. It worked several times.

Will we have any success tipping or blocking Penix Jr’s passes? He has a quick but unusually low release—almost a 45-degree arm angle on a lot of his passes, and unlike JJ, he’s not known for scrambling out of trouble and passing on the run. Seems to me we could have some success blocking his passes.

Josh any idea who we may lose to the portal after Monday?

Michigan lets another close game slip through their fingers as Minnesota gets a road win 73-71.

Clearly, I would have been fired this week. I have been useless at work.

Every day this week, I have looked at YouTube videos, podcasts, Twitter feeds, and news articles about Michigan football.

I mean, every day, all day. Tomorrow will be no different. Until this is over, it's Michigan every day, all day. If they win on Monday, you can count on me not doing a dang thing next week as well.

Thank God for a good staff that understands my unnatural obsession. GO BLUE!

Sorry this is late. Michigan is up 7-6 right now from the Crisler Center

Hmmmmm...does Vegas know?

Hey everyone!

My name is Pat - I've been here for a month or two but don't post really. Just love reading what Josh & you all have to say. You are all really awesome people!

Josh - I know this isn't your favorite subject, but with JJ's quote and everything yesterday my anxiety skyrocketed about this whole thing. From my understanding - although no one really knows - you think it is very unlikely that Michigan gets any kind of vacated wins from this whole thing right?

Any reasoning behind that? Or any takes? I dug through the threads and found that you (and sources?) think that is unlikely, but I would love your full opinion.

I personally don't care about fines or suspensions or Harbaugh leaving or whatever. I just really, really, REALLY don't want vacated wins.

... their biggest challenge was Utah (in Seattle), TX in the Sugar Bowl, and both games against Oregon. Being that Oregon is a big rivalry game, I thought it would be better to focus on non-rivalry games when looking at how they performed.

Per FOX Sports, Utah is ranked 13th in overall total defense through week 18. Texas is not ranked in the top 25. I saw Utah play a few times this year. It's a good defense. But like Texas, they're not ranked in the top 25 for passing defense, whereas Michigan is ranked 2nd behind OSU. Both Utah and TX are ranked higher than Michigan in rushing defense and third-down defense. In the red zone, Michigan is ranked 2nd and Texas is 8th. Utah doesn't even make the top 25.

I think it's important to note that Utah held the Huskies to zero points in the 4th Qtr, on the road in a tough environment. Arguably one of the toughest places to play as the road team. Penix was a measly 24 of 42 in that game, against a passing defense that's not very good. He was 28 of 39 against Texas in the Sugar Bowl.

There's a reason Michigan is favored in Vegas; Washington hasn't played a defense like Michigan's all year. And you can't overlook the fact that Washington gave up 33 points to a horrible Stanford team and had to come back in the 4th Qtr to win it. Also, Washington only scored 15 points against an equally bad Arizona State team and had to score 12 in the final quarter to win THAT game! I get the fact that Penix is a big-time QB. But the overall team is not nearly as good as he is.

Watching some internet media coverage these past few days, one guy had an interesting take. He said; "I can see Washington edging out Michigan in a tight game." I can also see Michigan edging out Washington in a tight game. But I can also see Michigan blowing out Washington in this game. There's just no way I see Washington blowing out Michigan."

Nearly all of the stats point to Michigan winning on Monday. I believe if Michigan limits their mistakes and plays like they did against Ohio State and PSU, they'll beat Washington by a few touchdowns. Yes, the Washington offensive line won the Joe Moore Award for 2023. Kudos to them. But we all know how well that served Michigan against GA and TCU. Sure, they're good. But I can't see them getting the upper hand on the number one defense in the country. 38 - 24 Michigan, with Washington getting one right at the end.

Frankly thinking a C+. Was surprised he was offensive player of the game tho stats were ok/better than I thought. and I guess I was just thinking of Corum at end but really no one else on offense really had a great game.

Michigan football gained its fourth verbal commit in its class of 2025 as four-star TE Eli Owens announced his commitment on Thursday afternoon.

STORY:

I'd still like to see the classic home unis but, I have a feeling that is what we will see.

choose Michigan.

I am staying home...

That Michigan is currently the team beat for Northwestern DB transfer Rod Heard. I think the visit solidified a lot of things for the Michigan native.

Believe he has a ND visit upcoming and shouldn’t be too far out from a decision. Barring a change, I expect it to be Michigan as of right now.

of the B1G.

OSU has officially been broken.

Now, Michigan must rise up and beat Bama which is our next challenge.

The media is clearly in favor of the SEC mystique to continue. But CFB must see the narratives change.

With the expansion of the B1G, Michigan beating Bama is a big deal to help move the B1G up to how the SEC is viewed.

The difference is the B1G will actually play aore difficult schedule. The 24 B1G schedule will begin to prove this reality.

😂😂😂😂🤘🤟

play for play model where the B1G & SEC will have the upper hand for the best of the best college recruits. Watch the episode from this morning from Greg Fluguar how the NCAA is meeting in January to discuss implementing this higher tier level of CFB. As I said, it is happening, the document Greg presents in fact doubles down on the reality that this is where the NCAA is going with CFB. And yes in deed, the B1G & SEC will in fact have the upper hand in this game of LEGAL P4P which pits Michigan with legally offering p4p, because, it is the model for the division where Michigan wants to compete.

LEGAL P4P is coming to a B1G school near you...

Underwood will commit to Michigan.

Watch our receiver recruiting improve.

tremendous anxiety. 🤣
