Anyone know for sure which hotel team will be staying at - JW Marriott like last year or Marriott Downtown ? I’ve heard both

How do we match up? What are their strength and weaknesses? Do we go all blue against them?

#1 UGA
#2 TCU (+2 spots)
#3 UM

QB: McCarthy Jr (Warren RS So)
RB: Edwards Jr and Allen Jr
TE: All 5th and Loveland So
LT: Barnhart 5th (Persi RS Jr)
LG: Keegan 5th (El-Hadi RS So)
C: Crippen RS So (Anderson RS So)
RG: Zinter Sr (Atteberry RS Jr)
RT: Jones 5th (Gentry So)
WR: Wilson Sr (Walker So)
WR: Anthony Jr or Clemons So
WR: Henning Sr or Morris So

This offense is locked and loaded. 2-3 really good players should emerge from that WR group (and if they don't, then some hard questions need to be asked of Ron Bellamy.) I'd match up our QB-RB-TE-OL situation with anyone in the country.

DE: Benny RS So (Bahr Fr)
NT: Graham So (Grant So)
DE: Jenkins RS Jr (Rooks RS So)
EDGE: Harrell RS Jr and Okie 6th
ILB: Barrett 6th or Hill-Green RS Jr or Rolder So
ILB: Colson Jr (Spurlock RS Fr)
EDGE: McGregor RS Jr and DMoore So
CB:Johnson So (Pollard RS Fr)
CB: McBurrows RS So (Jones RS Fr)
NB: RMoore Jr (Berry RS Fr)
S: Moten RS Jr
S: Paige Sr (Kolesar 5th)

The Green twins coming back for a 6th year and/or Sainristil coming back for a 5th would make a major difference in my comfort level with a secondary that looks thin and really inexperienced without them. McBurrows is an unknown at this point and the whole second unit is redshirt freshmen and Caden Kolesar. I also wonder about the down DL positions, where Bahr walks right into a spot on the 2-deep unless one of the EDGE guys moves down or we get portal help. Assuming Morris enters the draft, we have 11 EDGE guys scheduled to be on the roster next season. 4 are freshmen, so even if you leave them out it's 7 guys for 4 spots in the 2-deep. You wonder if someone like Guy or Bennett bulking up and playing with a hand down gets him on the field more.

Guys who might be eyeing the portal because they'll be in at least Year 3 and are not yet on the 2-deep...

Ike Iwunnah
TJ Guy
Ke'chaun Bennett
Tyler McLaurin
Cristian Dixon
Tavierre Dunlap
Louis Hansen
Matt Hibner
Tristan Bounds
Jaydon Hood
Eamonn Dennis

Guys who might be ready to leave because it's time for them to start SOMEWHERE - heading into Year 4 and not playing here ...

Jalen Perry
Quinten Johnson
Jeff Persi
Reese Atteberry

(I'm not THAT worried about Persi and Atteberry, because while I'm sure they're not wild about waiting until their 5th years to start, they ARE both likely in line to start in 2024... but it's conceivable they might not want to leave themselves only a year or having to stay in college a 6th year to get more game time.)

Sorry if I already missed a thread on this, but given the two potential semi-final destinations (Atlanta and Phoenix) I'm assuming that if Georgia beats LSU, they're definitely going to be in Atlanta.

My thinking is the furthest Michigan will fall even with a loss to Purdue (which I don't think will happen but of course could because, well, sports) is the 3 seed (still ahead of either USC, OSU, or Alabama). Given that, I have to think Michigan will be placed in Phoenix, right?

Anyone see a different path there (again, assuming Georgia beats LSU)?

Bo Schembechler .762
Lloyd Carr .753
Jim Harbaugh .753

Win in Indy, he breaks the tie with Lloyd.

Win the semi and he noses ahead of Bo.

The game ends with nobody trash talking, pushing or shoving. Players and coaches shook hands, and then they got off the field so that Michigan could celebrate. No confrontations with flag planting. I’m sure taking their asses handed to them played a part.

Is Jim Knowles osu answer to Don brown while he was d c at Michigan? Played well all season then the bucks kicked his ass

Spend the money for a month it's great.

I just read the Athletic article. Biff seems instrumental in developing this culture and helping guide so many coaches and players within the organization. How do you replace that? How do we carry his presence forward and ensure we stay on track?

I'm confident we will, but seems like he will be a big loss.

Nothing to see here about the visit to UCLA over the weekend.

I really appreciated his honesty when I asked about it. Basically, he said he just wanted to catch a game and that he couldn’t afford to watch any games in person this season as his officials were used. He’s locked in.

My story on his relationship with Michigan and Enow Etta will be up tomorrow. Just wanted to share this note first

We weren’t on the field for for the National Anthem? Don’t think I ever saw that before.

Does he have a commutable offer from us?

I still have to ask around about him. If I were to guess, I THINK he's Michigan's but I am not super confident of that.

For the Gulf Coast Showcase championship. Just about to get going.

Right here:

After rewatching the game Ohio can blame the weather after all. With temperatures in the upper 40’s it was just too warm for O line and they wore down due to temps.

..post a video from my photos on here?

I thought his response was awesome. Life is good for Jim Harbaugh.
