Things discussed: Moving the Comerica Park fences: fine, but why do it AFTER Cabrera?! Blake Corum's return: Thank NIL that it's possible. Gonna be a Denard/Gardner/Braylon/Hart/Marlin whose name is etched in history. Jim Harbaugh's contract negotiation. Warde Manuel: Brian goes off. Sam clarifies it's a message board post that USA Today picked up on, and not everything in that contract negotiation timeline is correct. Seth: They're probably not arguing about the money but the buyout because Michigan needs a long-term commitment and Harbaugh wants a chance to take an N...

Things discussed: The Fiesta Bowl: Mistakes maximally punished—Michigan's game-swinging oopsies were worth two or three oopsies each, which turns the rest of the game into background noise. The rest of the game: Why does it take 3 quarters to get to McCarthy's legs? Why are we making the mistakes that defined the last month of college football? Why don't we keep throwing flea flickers? Break: Get back Corum? Harbaugh: Don't think it's coming from Harbaugh but from the NFL. Harbaugh obviously has some NFL interest or he'd shut these rumors down. Brian: It's ...

EVENT NOTICE: I had to cancel my trip to Indianapolis (Indy Alumni Club members, don't worry, they upgraded speakers!). So we're gonna all watch the game on Saturday night together at Venue. You can reserve a table now, and they're going to extend Happy Hour ($10 pitchers, half price cocktails) to anyone who mentions us. Menu here. Things discussed: Ohio State's hyper-aggressiveness on defense led to a high success rate and five easy touchdowns. Oh, Michigan just made five plays: those weren't ungodly low-percentage plays, they were plays that Ohio State put out there ...

Things discussed: The Rutgers game: Is the passing game coming along? Defense: just a handful of breakdowns and a grind down. Need more help from the WRs. Running games are more consistent than long passing games; low-variance option getting 7 ypa is going to hold up better than 2 long pass plays on 3rd and long. Rutgers had a good gameplan. Donovan Edwards had a game. He's rounding into a star now. Vision is great, receiving is A+ for a receiver. Needs to get to be 75% of Corum as a pass blocker to be a complete back. McCarthy: Great throw, shoulda made an easier throw to another guy. Il...

Things discussed: The Tunnel Assault: Michigan State has a program-wide culture problem and it's not going to change. Their media ecosphere is out there right now playing down this assault, waving it away as just 4 then 8 players, both-sidesing it, even valorizing it. They're taking their cues from the program. If you're a Michigan State fan, and you think what happened in the tunnel was wrong—and yes they are out there even if they're not being heard because that's not how they interact—this is your offramp, because nobody in that locker room thinks it was, nobody...
