Recruiting Blue Chips: Jim Harbaugh Has Big Call With Tobias Merriweather

I used to be surprised by comments like this but they are the "go to" response by many fans about ANY topic related to UM football and they won't change until we beat OSU. Pessimism is for the weak.
Interesting analysis at the end, golfer...wonder if it’s a second cousin to something I like to say (gotten from someone else from somewhere): “Aging ain’t for wimps“ lol.

Glad I’m not an unhappy “fan”. Disappointed - sure sometimes, but disgruntled - no.
We all get disappointed. I'm as optimistic as it comes. I didn't like what I saw on the field last year at all. I also looked at it and still do as an anomaly.
Lose 4 Olinemen to the draft....BOTH OTs out...a new QB who has never started a game and the top WR opts out.

On D hmm....best CB opts out...safeties are coached by an analyst....MLB out replaced by a walk on...SS out replaced by a walk on....BOTH DEs out, one for the season...you can't make this shit up! So 2-4 ..yea I know why. The complainers and self proclaimed "experts" will say those are excuses.

I might add replacing 4 olinemen and no spring ball is a killer. Not to mention a new QB who has no timing or chemistry with his WR. I know Milton was a bust but Cade could have used those reps to. Again the "experts" will say that's more excuses.

Don’t even try. We all know it was a terrible year no question. But so many just don’t care. They just want to rip the program. Yes things have to improve. I think by now we all get it including JH. But for many they are gonna beat that horse forever. No victory in the fall will be by enough points , and to many only an undefeated season will be enough. It is what it is ......

Right!...I know it's futile but I took a shot!

After a little more thought, I think you’re onto something, golfer. I don’t think all pessimism is from a weak position, though. And I know you didn’t say it was. Some pessimism is from perceived reality, and maybe mixed with a certain amount of lost hope. Thanks for the education, golfer - I appreciate it!

I agree with you Mac. Given everything you pointed out, the COVID lockdown hit our team really hard from the lost spring ball practices that would have helped all these new pieces to begin to jell. Probably hurt us more than it hurt a lot of other B1G teams?

That's honestly why I'm not concerned about this year. Lots of talent on this team. More than many think!
