Harbaugh Is Paid Properly

Before you say it, I know, we’re 7-0. Got it.

And before I say anything I want to say great games by Corum, Haskins, O-Line, Entired Defense (especially the secondary), Turner, Hutch, and Eric (freaking) All! The team is playing it’s heart out. I hope they get a chance to make it special.

But all I’m asking is for y’all to be honest. You Gotta be real with yourself. Be real! Cade was so bad today. Don’t be what everybody around this region accuses us of being. We are locally and, on some level nationally accused of being delusional about our team. And being willfully blind of what is obviously there. Just admit it. Cade is not very good. He’s a good leader. He’s a great character guy, and the kind of player that either makes a medium road MAC team really good or a great team guy/back up on a B10 team. It’s OK to admit that - because it’s the truth. For any of you to take coach Fitz statement about Cade any way other than the fact that he and Jim Harbaugh are the same kind of person. They actually love the kids. Cade started to get booed at home. The crowd roared when McCarthy came on and groaned when Cade came back. I felt bad. When you love kids you don’t ever want to see that for them. So sure he gave some unsolicited praise. But come on guys… Don’t let your heart compensate for the talent that you know you don’t see. If Jim is who he was before Michigan, and who everyone is purporting he has gone back to being this year, he would’ve done what is best for the team to win big games and switched to the QB who could get you there. But he didn’t. And the schedule set up perfectly to do it too.

I got warned for calling him a loser in the game thread, and I checked myself because I should not have said it that way. But what I meant is, he doesn’t have the mentality of the winning coaches in the country. Dabo, Saban (dude yanked a guy in the championship game) even Kelly. You’re going to hate it but I’d bet Tucker would have, at the very least, split snaps today.

If he stays with Cade then the pay cut was warranted because he absolutely should not have been paid on their levels. He is paid properly. MODS if I’m violating something please delete the thread. I’m only just honestly communicating and not trying to be a Richard.

OT: track update (Ziyah Holman...and Hobbs Kessler---AA high schooler with a national record)

At the NCAA track regionals, Ziyah continued to impress. She finished 5th and qualified for the NCAA finals. She broke her existing school record and is now just .06 seconds from the Olympic Qualifying Trials standard. Ziyah is having a fantastic freshman year and will likely go down as one of Michigan's all-time greats. Michigan's women's team had 4 others qualify for NCAA's with 800 meter runner Aurora Rynda being the most likely to score along with Ziyah (she ran 2:01 to move to 3rd all time on the Michigan list). The men's team qualified 9 athletes to NCAA's (a super performance). The most likely to score at the finals are decathlete Ayden Owens, the 2 shot putters, and 1500 meter runner Tom Dodd).

Way OT: Hobbs Kessler, an AA Skyline senior set the junior 1500 meter record running 3:34. To put this in perspective, his record his FASTER than the existing collegiate record and equivalent to a 3:51 mile (Alan Webb's HS record is 3:53) for the same event. He may be the most talented high school mid-distance runner to ever come along (former Michigan runner Alan Webb and Jim Ryun are the only other 2 in this conversation). He is trained by former Michigan coach and legend Ron Warhurst, and routinely trains with Michigan alumni Nick Willis and Mason Ferlic. Unfortunately for Michigan fans, he chose to attend NAU for college (NAU is probably the top cross country program in the country and Kessler is also a national class mountain climber).

Michigan women embarassed blown out by Northwestern out of Big Ten Tournament

This team is so overated with only 2 girls who can score with absolutely no bench. Hillmon and Brown scored 36 of the 49 pts. Hillmon for her standards had a bad game due to nwestern defense and still had 26 pts 12 reb but only 9 in the second half. Michigan is slow not athletic and cant shoot from outside and a bench who scored 0.points
