    Did Bagent have the ball rolled to him??
  2. UMFan83
    Wow we stopped them? Damn what a break
  3. UMFan83
    Probably not but that wasn’t on the line today
  4. UMFan83
    A lot of good with Bagent but he’s an INT machine right now whether that’s due to decision making, inexperience, bad arm, etc
  5. UMFan83
    Omg cut this horsefeathers head already lmao

    As someone who watched Foreman a lot due to him being on my fantasy team I never understood why he was healthy scratched after week 1. This is exactly the foreman I’ve seen in Carolina
  7. UMFan83
    Ok this is a pretty impressive drive by Bagent. Lots of working through progressions calmly
  8. UMFan83
    That’s kind of annoying
  9. UMFan83
    Defense can’t get off the field on 3 third downs that drive
  10. UMFan83
    Really nice read and throw. something about Bears TEs in New Orleans
  11. UMFan83
    Umm
  12. UMFan83
    Nice drive Bagent though the TD throw was interesting.

    This Iowa NU game is an embarrassment to football and Wrigley Field.

    He can have fun making franchise tag money for a year
  16. UMFan83
    Tyler from Spartanburg is loving it
  17. UMFan83
    More than I was expecting but whatever, we have the money especially if we’re gonna reset at QB

    As I mentioned in my post, this offseason is stacked with starting pitching. I think teams will be able to overlook his second half while injured but I’m not sure he’s going to get what he hopes when he has to compete with Nola, Snell, Yamamoto, Montgomery, Eduardo Rodriguez, etc. I also don’t think his value will degrade that much waiting one more season as he doesn’t seem like someone with a profile that is prone to steeply declining. But maybe he values security and if that’s what he wants then he can now go get it. edit: someone made the point that guys like Taillon are getting 4/68, good point maybe he will exceed $21m
  19. UMFan83
    Meh, i preferred that he opted in but if he wants to try to get a long term deal as the 6th best pitcher on the market, I wish him luck

    They are arguing that they didn’t know about the sign stealing until Wednesday of game week and having to focus on changing signs hurt their focus on preparing for the game or something. Of course there’s always rumors about this being the worst kept secret in football and all the big ten teams were talking about it for the last 2 seasons so not sure how you could be shocked. Who knows… Michigan insiders today are claiming Michigan is launching an investigation into OSU as they found ties between the PI firm investigating them and Ryan Day’s family. That in itself is strange but isn’t necessarily illegal, but there’s a question of how the PI managed to obtain a spreadsheet on Michigan’s cloud that was sent to WaPo. Doesnt absolve Michigan of anything they may have done illegally but it does add some complexity and additional intrigue to this story if true.

    I still remember during the commercial break before Montogomery got the final out, I did 2 things: 1) did a quick refresh of NSBB (which had so much traffic it was difficult to use on my cell phone) and 2) looked at Michael Martinez's career splits vs LHP. Yes I know there was the weight of 108 years of failure. Yes it was possible Montogomery could have been nervous and wild with so much on the line and hit Martinez, or maybe Martinez bloops a weak single or whatever, but when I saw those splits, I felt a strong sense of calm that things were going to end positively very shortly. And it did. I still watch the recording I took of watching the final out on a TV outside Dags pizza on Southport and Addison, everyone celebrating and then just sprinting down Addison towards Wrigley Field. In fact, I'm going to watch that right now 🙂

    I know that Michigan will probably roll over Purdue this weekend similar to the rest of their games, but can you imagine the uproar if they won like 28-24? Coming off a bye, in a trap game (@ PSU next weekend), against a coach who handled Michigan's offense better than any other team they played last year. I know Purdue sucks this year but crazier things have happened

    I've spoken to a couple people from La Grange about JJ and honestly haven't heard a bad thing said about him other than light complaining about going to IMG, but also understanding it was the COVID season. Seems like a genuinely good dude and hope he has NFL success unless he goes to the Packers.
  24. UMFan83
    I would cry tears of joy. And then I would cry tears of sadness for JJ once I realize that he's destined to fail here.

    I used to try to justify some of the odd moves Poles did by saying 'maybe he knows what he's doing and we don't, but its hard to defend trading yet another high second round pick for a 2 month rental when your team is 2-6 and then hoping you can convince him to resign after the fact. This comes after trading a high 2nd for Claypool. Both positions of desperate need heading into their respective seasons that werent addressed in the previous offseason and had a hand in torpedoing the season to that point. Now it sounds like the reporting is that we lowballed Jaylon Johnson so badly that he won't negotiate with us anymore? What are we doing here?
