Received a lot of good feedback
from you regarding my last post about Art Vuolo. I actually had a chance to have a longer
conversation with him and he has some great stories. They
are more talking stories and some of it would not be blog type of stuff….
But if something ever comes up, I’ll
be sure to add some of them in here…
Don’t Forget: Softball Regional at NOON today in Ketucky
Against The Domers!
The Softball team kicks of the
NCAA Tourney against the Domers today. I’ll
be sneaking peaks on line and following the action. Michigan split with the domers earlier this
season.
LNU Settles: $500M To Pay Off
Nassar Victims
This grinds my gears to no
end. Compared to PSU, LNU got off
easy. I believe the PSU penalties and
payments averaged around $3.5M per victim. Not to mention the $60M the NCAA Fined them... If I do the math here, after legal fees, the
victims are probably going to net less than $1M. I’m not a victim advocate or anything, but I
would be even more angry if my 12 to 16 year old daughter had been sexually
penetrated by this sicko and all she was going to see was less than a
million.
In addition, somehow, some way, every
Michigander is going to feel this pain.
I just know it… The money
needs to come directly out of private donations or the University’s endowment. That’s it.
Engler keeps shooting his mouth
off with tuition and taxpayer dollars covering this penalty. But the Michigan state legislature is going to push
back really hard and may even introduce a law that states that
Universities are on the hook with they have a penalty that is a direct
result of negligence or lack of institutional control.
A loyal reader of
the MMQ came up with an idea to make T-shirts with “Larry Nassar University”
printed on them and sell them around Ann Arbor and the rest of the B1G so the
fans have something to wear to egg on the visiting fans when LNU is in town!!!
Why
Not???? Some examples:
Standard Clean Family Version
LNU State Penitentiary Orange
Slightly more adult version with one of the
generally accepted emoji’s representing the female anatomy….
Internet adult version with common keystrokes
representing female anatomy….
The Order Form - $6.15 Each….
Hmmmm……Yep. I bet I could sell these for $20 a pop at the tailgate, easy….and then go down to $10 if sales slow down!!!
Bill Connelly kicks off his
college football SP+ ranking for 2018
Michigan falls to number 10 on
the list…
Shea
Patterson 3rd in Pre-Season Heisman?
I have NO IDEA where or how this is a thing. Patterson was 3rd best in the SEC
last year. I don’t know how moving
to Michigan, learning an entirely new offense that he may or may not be suited
for and learning new players moves him up to 3rd on the list. Yeah, I know about the 7 games with over 300
yards passing and half of the time he was improvising.
Again, I’m OPTIMISTIC. I’m just losing a lot of my crazy, I guess…Chase
Goodhead is the writer (never heard of him) and he has Will Grier (QB – WVU)
and Bryce Love (RB – Stanford) ahead of Patterson.
I mean, I’d TAKE it, but I sure wouldn’t be
predicting it. Not until I’ve seen him
play in a Michigan uniform.
This article has several sportspooks (off
shore) that have Shea at 16-1.
Jake Fromm, Georgia QB (10/1)
UGA has five-star freshman Justin Fields ready to go in
case Fromm doesn’t play well, but he’ll probably play well and stay secure in
his job.
Tua Tagovailoa, Alabama QB (10/1)
The oddsmakers think Tagovailoa will be Bama’s starter,
evidently.
Khalil Tate, Arizona QB (14/1)
The most electric player in college football, now
that Lamar Jackson’s in the NFL? Probably. And Arizona could be
good enough for Tate to stay in the conversation.
Shea Patterson, Michigan QB (16/1)
Eligible
immediately after transferring from Ole Miss, and really good.
Patterson’s transitioning from more of a spread offense to a
pro-style look, but his talent and Jim Harbaugh’s QB-coaching
ability should make this work
Michigan’s
Over/Under Is 8.5
Over/Unders for regular season victories are
out for all D1 Football teams. Michigan
checks in at 8.5, which, while I was studying the schedule the other day and
looking at Connelly’s summary, I was thinking that 8-9 wins would be the “Expectation”
with the ceiling at 11 and the “what are we going to do about Harbaugh” at 7. Maybe I’m being a little toooooooo
pessimistic, but with the road schedule, Wiscy and Nebraska on the cross over,
I just don’t know man. I just don’t know….
So, right now I’ll wait a little bit before I
wager on the 8.5 number.

Manuel Contemplating “Lifetime” Contracts for Beilein & Harbaugh
I guess this is a good thing? I mean, right now, JB can do no wrong, but a
year and a half ago a lot of people (not this guy) wanted Beilein gone. He had an injury riddled line-up and missed
the tourney. I didn’t think it was fair
to be on his case then and I still don’t so I really don’t have an issue with
the Beilein Lifetime. Which, in
reality, is probably only 5-10 years anyway.
Harbaugh, OTOH, still hasn’t “Gotten it done.” While
I understand all the reasons behind it, I think the 7 year deal is fine and he
really doesn’t need to address a lifetime contract at this point. I’m gonna guess and say that’s a deal Jimmy
wants in order to keep everyone off his back about moving to the NFL,
which seems to come up in the annual NFL coaching carousel. Jimmy, I’m sure, is sick of that. The Lifetime would at least rid him of that
headache.
