That would be a bad move for Michigan.

You want the log cut in 1 1/4" slices. Or bull dung.

After that game what will they loose.

I thought this would be the year they beat tOSU.  Doesn’t look like it now.

Maybe.  But, in 2016, Penn State looked bad at the beginning of the year.  They lost to unranked Pitt, then they got obliterated by Michigan 49-10.  After that, they barely won in overtime to unranked Minnesota.  Then beat unranked Maryland.  Then they beat #2 ranked Ohio State, and went on to win the Big 10 Championship.  The was the year that Gattis (Michigan's new offensive coordinator) was a coach at Penn State.  Things looked bad, but there is still time.  I'm not saying I'm sure of it -- just that the future isn't fully determined yet, in my view.

Also, even with a year that isn't the greatest, I still think that Harbaugh is a good coach.  He has one of the better records so far compared to all other Michigan head coaches.  I want Michigan to beat Ohio State, but I also don't want to see coach musical chairs and spend another decade with coaching chaos and bad seasons, which is common for schools that are casting about for different coaching.  Michigan got a taste of that with Rich Rod and Hoke.  The recent history of Texas, USC, Tennessee, Arkansas, South Carolina, Florida State, and Nebraska is an indication of what we have to lose.

Also, two handicaps Michigan has vs. some other schools is that Michigan requires more academically, and it does not facilitate bag-man action.  The academic part isn't changing.  The bag-man part might change drastically in the near future if more states allow players to profit from likeness, forcing the NCAA to allow it.  Allow that, and you have a completely unstoppable legal route for boosters to pay players, including at Michigan.

Michigan's alumni base is huge, loyal, replete with wealthy individuals, and LOVES Wolverine football.  Unshackle the Michigan money cannon, and we might see Michigan's recruiting classes routinely inside the top 5.  That possibility would be derailed during a process of coach musical chairs.

I was really disappointed last night. The only game I could find was the Ohio vs Nebraska game. I shut it off before the first half was done. I enjoy a good close game and that was a simple blowout rout from the beginning.

Tennessee didn't lose, so that's good.

Yeah, there are lots of wildly uneven matchups these days.  Surprisingly, Clemson vs. UNC ended up going down to the wire.  Michigan State vs. Indiana was good to the end.  Washington vs. USC was decent.

UF v AU going to be a great one next week! I like Trask better than original starter. Broke a completion record already. AU has a decent red shirt freshman QB. Both 4-0. GOOOO GATORS!!

We better get some kind of running game going or we might be in for a long day.  I agree though, Trask looks like the real deal.  We get a few starters back also, so that'll help the cause some.  Big game.
