Things discussed: Michigan vs MSU: The real feelings came out. Ignore the fans who make it about hate: the kid who had the "Love You, Brother" sign got it right. Michigan vs MSU: Oh right, the basketball game! Tarris Reed game. Fear of playing him is he'll foul out and you don't have another center, but worth the risk to have him on the floor. Solves athleticism issues because he can play the 4 on defense and Hunter can shoot well enough to stretch on offense. Fixed the rebounding issues. Jett: First time all year he was doing other stuff when his shots weren't going. ...

Things discussed: Chris Partridge: He knows how the SEC is doing NIL. Brian & Seth: He also knows how to coach linebackers. Oversigning Assistants: You know there's gonna be attrition. Everyone's expecting Helow to have a soft landing somewhere. LBs: I've been grading tough on the LBs but it's hard not to watch the TCU game and not think you need an upgrade there. Turning Junior Colson into an elite defender is how you make this into an elite group. They have depth there suddenly.

Things discussed: What are we looking for in a new QB coach? Brian: Harbaugh can be himself, need a recruiter. Seth: Shoot your shot because a superb OC/QB candidate, see if you can steal an arguably #1 person because they get a chance to run this machine. If you can't do that, grab Partridge and move Jay to QBs. Floor is still good, ceiling worth exploring. Jay Harbaugh Appreciation Hour: Funny how he's so much more like his uncle than his dad. Michigan on the bubble: Teams there are like Pitt, which we beat! Zero Quad 1 victories, lost their shot to make a run when Jett went down. ...

Things discussed: Harbaugh returns. At this point they're probably close on an agreement and have recruiting to worry about. Broncos were definitely interested, but this is just a return to status quo from last year. Contract will matter. Harbaugh clearly has NFL interest still, also has interest in being paid like a top-5 coach for respect purposes. Not about respect though: Saban's contract, Day's contract, Mel's contract: they all say the same things, which is this guy is staying. Ono: Very different experience for an athletic director.
