This is so interesting to me. Listen to Dan Campbell explain thought process behind playing starters last night, then listen to Jim Harbaugh’s explanation for playing his starters this week and Bill Belichick’s thoughts on it as well!! These coaches know what they’re doing!

I was in that room, I’m pretty sure the initial reaction was like 90% percent of college football fans that a 13-0 FSU team was left out. Had nothing to do with anything about Bama.

The way this Michigan sign stealing allegation is being handled in the national media, to me, is a snapshot of a where we are as an industry. *The NCAA has yet to complete their investigation. *The NCAA Committee on Infractions has no findings in . front of them. *Michigan.

OSU HC Ryan Day, via WBNS-10TV:. "We've learned a lot about what's gone on the last two years. I don't think it does any good to comment on it right now. There'll be a time and place for that. What matters is this game and getting our guys prepared to go win it."

So happy for Dan Skipper. He was the guy in the Hard Knocks episode that was cut, and he said “is there anything I can do?” He got signed to the practice squad, kept working, elevated to the active roster and ultimately making a start and playing well. Stay with it!! #OnePride.

There is literally no reason to play a 25-year old QB if he can’t throw and if there is no hope to win a championship. I’d rather lose 6 games with a FR or SO quarterback and get that younger quarterback some experience than watch this. How does Michigan not have a QB?.

4 turnovers .Allowed 3 of 4 conversions on 4th down. The Lions totally beat themselves. And that was the only way they could lose this game. I’d consider this one of the most disappointing losses in Detroit sports history.

I understand this is the way the NFL works but it does perhaps lead to questions about how focused a coach can be on a current job when they are busy learning about the personnel and assembling a staff for the next job.

Reading all of the reports on NCAA investigation into Michigan. Here's what it feels like at this point to me. It's like a criminal case where the prosecution (Jim Stapleton??) gets to leak all of the "evidence" they have to set the narrative, without the defense being able to.

It’s really hard to take this seriously, especially when there hasn’t been one tweet regarding the AP report from today from the two ESPN reporters who are covering/pushing one side of a story seem to be radio silent on that report.

This is pretty simple. The worst season in Michigan basketball history comes to a close. There isn’t even a decision to be made. When Juwan Howard took over, U-M was a top 10 program in the country (maybe even a top 6 program), it hasn’t worked out. He was never the same coach.
