    Gotta love having an already underdog Michigan team go into their arch rivals house the day after those jerkwads won a football championship. The crowd should be insane, I don't like our odds...
  2. UMFan83
    At 8-8 and only thanks to the Bears literally giving it away. Let's make Marion Barber the head coach
  3. UMFan83
    I was already saying this was the worst football season ever when Michigan finished 5-7 and the Bears 5-11. That will truly be cemented when the Packers win to join OSU as champs

    oregons run d is like watching the 2013 Bears all over again
  5. UMFan83
    This is like watching the Bears defense. 3rd and long? No problem. Every. Single. Time. This would be a blowout if 3 fumbles didn't all go Oregon's way.
  6. UMFan83
    Have you been watching the game? I know, total blowout city it will be, because its a sports team i strongly dislike, and because the bulls are getting blown out for the 3rd time in 4 games so might as well just keep piling on the pain
  7. UMFan83
    Of course the record breaking Oregon offense is completely shut down while Ohio State's 3rd string QB drives down the field at ease repeatedly. Man I hate sports
  8. UMFan83
    This would the type of hire that a unproven young GM would make after seeing the last GM run out of town after 3 seasons because he took a giant risk for a HC and it failed. Safe, high floor low ceiling hire

    The number of Chicago media guys begging the Bears to hire Fox on twitter is disturbing. No thanks on Fox.

    Ugh sounds like other teams are more aggressive with Bowles than we are. I have no idea who I want if its not Bowles. Not that this is necessarily a bad thing, but this feels like its going to be a Dick Jauron hire...someone not to inspiring or in particularly high demand. Could end up working out though. I guess there's still a shot we interview Marrone though. I know some people wouldn't agree but I wouldn't hate that hire.

    I could be wrong but when the Calvin Johnson catch happened, I feel like I remember the announcers saying that interpreting what a catch is was something the refs emphasized in the preseason that year, so basically the NFL forcing the refs to call it by the rulebook. And kind of like the tuck rule, once that call was made, future plays were judged by that interpretation.

    Apparently Steve Bisciotti is pretty persuasive.
  13. UMFan83
    New rumors on Twitter are that John fox is out with this loss and Kubiak coming back to Denver to coach for his buddy John Elway is possible.
  14. UMFan83
    Woo hoo. Would be very happy with this hire
  15. UMFan83
    I'll probably be killed for being the one posting this but Rose is out tonight with knee soreness in his ACL knee #noagenda
  16. UMFan83
    I am more than fine with names like Bowles and Kubiak. Not as thrilled with Marrone and Gase. Not sure why though.
  17. UMFan83
    Just a very mediocre 7-5-1 since our 8 game winning streak. Bulls are 3-3 since their 7 game winning streak. Both teams played the majority of those games at home. Lesson is to not go on winning streaks or play at home?

    He should, but it obviously seems like he doesn't want to cede that. He went out of his way to define the org structure ahead of Pace today, and there are rumors that Ballard was more concerned about who was ahead of him than Pace was followed by a maybe coincidental shift from Ballard being the heavy favorite to Pace being hired.
  20. UMFan83
    Well George has made it a point to say that unless he has to he does not mettle in football operations (Obviously he had to this year though). If Pace was reporting directly to George maybe his leash is a little longer, who knows. That's probably a stretch though. Other than that, if Phillips says he has full control over football operations and Ted is just there to fire him or extend him depending on how he does, then its nothing to worry about.
  21. UMFan83
    It was fine. No Joe Maddon or Theo, but I'd say it was positive. Yeah that's the other thing. The last front office/managerial press conference we watched was Maddon's where he charmed the pants off of everyone. Hard to live up to that.
  22. UMFan83
    It was pretty meh, but that really doesn't mean anything at all. It's not like he said anything devistatingly bad. And like Banedon said, Emery was a home run based on his press conferences and look how that turned out.
  23. UMFan83
    Apparently the Dolphins and their 5 Super Bowl appearances (2 championships) aren't a historic franchise.
  24. UMFan83
    Seems like he's calming down a bit and getting more comfortable.
  25. UMFan83
    He sounds like he's super amped up
