College football is changing. Some of it is okay with me, but a lot of it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
My biggest frustration is that the NCAA is the worst organization on the planet. It is focused on the wrong things at the wrong time, and I hate the Wild West feel of the last few years.
While we have benefited from both the portal and the NIL at one time or another, they are not my favorite football revelations.
That said, the last two weeks have been the best of the season. The big win over OSU and the recruiting class are huge wins for the program and somewhat of a reset from a frustrating season.
There is a whole subculture that thrives on negativity. With the stunning Bryce Underwood flip and the great class coming in, what in the world will these folks do? I'm sure they will turn their guns into something to complain about, but today is not their day.
It would appear that going forward, Michigan will be fielding teams that are much more equal in talent than we've generally seen this century.
I hope that means we'll regularly be in the national championship hunt. Of course, the Big Ten is more competitive now that the West Coast teams have joined, but that's just football.
Even with the negative elements that I find distasteful, I'm very optimistic and excited about the program's future.
Go Blue!
