I’ve Been Waiting To Post…
Based on the outcome of the Board
of Trustees meeting in Columbus. Their
meeting began today, Wednesday, at 9:00 AM. Meyer was present at the meeting. I have a feeling based on some leading
reports is that Meyer will be suspended and will be reinstated with time
already served. Seems a little
wishy-washy, but whatever. All I can say
is:
Stay tuned…
Newsome DONE…
In very sad, but not totally
unpredictable news, Grant Newsome announced his retirement from football after
suffering an injury that nearly led to the loss of his leg.
I actually followed this pretty closely and
was constantly amazed at what Grant was going through and figured about 6
months or a year ago that there was no way he was going to manage coming back
from this injury. But, Grant
seems surprisingly upbeat and recognizes the fact that he’s going to be able to
walk for the rest of his life.
Patterson Is The Starter
In a highly unusual and un-Harbaugh like move
on Monday, Jimmy announced that the starting QB would be Patterson. I’m not sure if that’s because Patterson
starting seemed like the worst kept secret ever (Michigan’s D-Coaches
were talking him up in pressers) or if Harbaugh has turned a new leaf and
figured, “Keeping it a secret here hasn’t worked in the past. Let’s try something different.”
I personally think it takes a lot
of pressure off the starter knowing he’s going to start and he can concentrate
and think a little more clearly about his tasks in the last two weeks
of camp.
So, for all the worry-bead fans
out there – think of this as good news!
Irving-Bey Transfers to CMU
Everyone knows that
I’m not into recruiting (that much) and I also don’t follow the back-up players
too closely, but I do remember landing this 4-star (away from LNU) and was
excited to see another big, fast D-Line guy on the roster. I guess Irving-Bey didn’t like the fact that
he became a red-shirt and decided he wanted to play now and have a chance at
getting to the NFL earlier? Dunno…Confusing.
The Gophers Name a Frosh Starting QB
But are any QB’s really freshmen any
more? I understand what Fleck is doing
here. Go with the youth movement and
maybe have some semblance of his guys on at team in 2-3 seasons. Exactly the same thing he did at Western.
The fact that he is a walk-on is a bit of a head
scratcher, but so was last year’s Heisman Winner while he was at
Oklahoma…
I don’t think it’s a terrible
idea, especially if you believe you have deficiencies elsewhere and the
season may not be as successful as you’d like it to be. Start the hungry guys and maybe
motivate the holdovers to try a little harder.
Harbaugh-isms Ranked By SBNation
These are pretty good if you
follow the coach’s quotes.
- “FAT IS THE
ENEMY OF SPEED.”
- “Got where I am
by rolling up my sleeves, delegating nothing, and taking everything
personally.”
- “Lead like
Truman don’t tap dance like Fred Astaire!”
- “IF YOU ARE
BORED YOU ARE BORING.”
- “AIN’T HARD
BEING A FOOTBALL PLAYER IF YOU ARE A ‘FOOTBALL PLAYER.’”
- “Preaching to
the choir is for the showboats and the soft.”
- “Transform your
fear into anger...solve your problems with aggression.”
- “I’ve been known
to come through on occasion.”!
- “ADDITION BY
SUBTRACTION.”
10. “Do you usually get what you are asking for? Do any
of us?”
11. “I shouldn’t have to pester or harass you to help
you.”
12. “You are over the legal limit for what ifs.”
The Mailbag…
As usual, you all texted or
mailed on a variety of issues…
Wow! Surprising that Harbaugh named the starter…He
usually doesn’t even issue game rosters during game week!
A variant of this note/text/e-mail was received from several of you. Yeah, as I stated, it’s a little
surprising. But, again, Harbaugh
and the rest of the coaches/team will not have to answer that question or
related questions for the next two weeks. I mean if the whole entire team knows who the
starter is, what’s the difference? And
Patterson gets dedicated time and doesn’t have to think about being the
starter, he just needs to think about executing.
So now that Patterson is
the starter, do you think Michigan goes to a more “up-tempo” offense than in
seasons past?
I really hate it when you guys make me think. First, I’m not sure that Tempo is the “only”
answer to winning football games and championships.
NCAA leading tempo team Syracuse ran a blistering 88 PPG in
2017! I didn’t know where Michigan
even ranked in tempo or how many plays per game (PPG) Michigan averaged, so I
had to consult the trusty www.teamrankings.com
website for some info. Michigan ranked
88th last season in Tempo, but NC Bama ranked 90th. Clemson, OTOH, ranked 20th. Over the seasons, Michigan has dropped in Temp from
80 PPG to 70 PPG last season. I think
part of that was compensating for a lousy offense, where you’d rather
NOT run more PPG. That being said, it
seems you can be successful running at a higher tempo (Clemson - 77 PPG) and also
successful running a slower tempo (Bama – 69.9 PPG). Again, looking at Clemson and Bama as the “Target”,
Clemson’s overall offensive production (with Deshaun Watson) was better (in
adjusted stats) than Bama’s. Which,
then, of course, you DEFINITELY WANT to run more PPG with a better offense. So, in
short, if we’re going to assume the Michigan offense is going to be BETTER
with Patterson, I think they’ll try to up the PPG and run a slightly higher
tempo. Guestimate, at best. In the end, who knows?
But, if you’re a stats guy and want to know what makes a
champion, be more worried about Opponent Yards Per Game!!! That’s the stat you’d like to control, and
looky here! These were the top teams in 2017!
Just saw the stuff about
Smith and the sex toys. I must admit that, other than having heard of a
C-ring, I am absolutely clueless as to what those other things are for and/or
how they are used??? What a perv!!!
I just bet he looked stunning in
that suspender rig!!!
Wasn’t even going to put this
response out there, but ya gotta’ admit, the suckeyes have given us a
spectacular August with news breaking on Fridays heading into
weekends! If you hadn’t heard, McMurphy
(Stadium) reported the following:
Fired Ohio State assistant football coach Zach Smith sent
a picture of his penis from a White House bathroom, according to a published
report Friday night.
Stadium reported that Smith, citing
photos it had obtained, sent a photo from April 20, 2015 - the same date
of Ohio State’s White House visit after winning the 2014 national title - where
his penis could be seen alongside a towel that featured the seal of the
President of the United States.
USAToday and others have now
followed up and corroborated the story.
What started out as a domestic abuse situation (And I’m starting to
believe there wasn’t as much abuse as just wild, outlandish sex and other
illicit activity that was sometimes reported as abuse) has
morphed into an episode of “Jerry Springer-Columbus Style”! All we need is Urban, Shelly, Zach,
Courtney, the Mother and Mother-In-Law on stage and maybe a few other
assistants thrown in for good measure and, damn folks!
We’ve got ourselves one helluvan’
episode!
More juicy details! Honestly, I wanted to put copies of the pics
of the equipment in this post, but decorum and decency is preventing me from
doing it. However, Click the link below
for McMurphy’s Stadium article and see all of Zach’s crazy merchandise!
And I agree with the
e-mailer: I’m no prude and I enjoy a
walk on the wild side, but I have NO IDEA what some of this stuff is used
for!!!
Documents and receipts Stadium has obtained show Zach
Smith ordered more than $2,200 in sex toys, male apparel and photography
equipment and had the items delivered to him at Ohio State’s Woody Hayes
Athletic Center in 2015.
The Woody Hayes Athletic
Center houses all Buckeye football operations.
All of the items were
delivered to “Zach Smith, Woody Hayes Athletic Center, 535 Irving
Schottenstein Drive, Columbus” between February and May 2015. Copies of some of
those documents are listed below.
Courtney Smith said Zach
Smith took multiple photos of his penis inside the Ohio State coaches’ offices,
inside the White House when the Buckeyes visited in 2015 and also photographed
himself in the coaches’ offices receiving oral sex and having sex with an OSU
staffer.
The items delivered to Smith between February and May
2015 at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center include a men’s spider enhancer thong
triple c— ring, body wear CS2 metallic erotic c— strap gold and snake skin,
Wildman T-ball lifter red, candyman men’s jock suspenders, PetitQ open slit
bikini brief and studio pro product table top photography lighting kit.
The items were ordered
and delivered mostly through Amazon from various companies/individuals
including Captain Camo, StevenEven, Erogenos, Gypsy B and Devil’s Wink.
Lots of good leads of where to find stuff
is there for the more sexually adventurous readers!
MMQ TIP OF THE DAY!: Get a post office box FIRST if you’re going
to be ordering crap like that on line and not paying cash at your local porno
shop!
Oh boy…So where does this leave
Meyer? In all honesty, until this story
leaked, I really thought Meyer was going to dodge a bullet. But now that he was not only employing an
alleged domestic abuser, but he was also employing a semi-perverted philanderer
that like to take pictures of the stuff he was doing. In Obama’s White House, no less. So, yeah, there’s more problems for Meyer
that he can’t necessarily answer. Especially
the sex in the coach’s office with a former staffer.
And if Meyer DOESN’T Get let canned, can
you imagine what a field day the student sections will have wherever the
suckeyes have to play on the road this season?
It almost seems to easy, but Captain Camo, StevenEven, Erogenos,
Gypsy B and Devil’s Wink are probably going to get a HUGE BOOST in sales in all
those cities!
Still No Word Out of Maryland?
What’s Taking So Long??
I dunno…
Seems like we should have heard
something by now. I just don’t see how Durkin
survives, especially with Peppers coming out and saying stuff, too. Peppers could have easily kept his mouth shut,
but decided he need to pipe up. Doing
the right thing, perhaps?
Whatever the case, I’m
shocked that after the University President more or less owned up to the WHOLE
THING that Durkin is still an employee of the University.
What I DIDN’T realize is that there
could be criminal charges pressed, depending on what the investigation
reveals.
Yikes…The idea that a coach or
coaches could be charged with criminal negligence resulting in death is pretty
serious.
So were ranked 14th in the Pre-Season poll…What do you think
about that?
I’m LOVIN’ IT!!! Why you might ask? Because in each of the last three seasons, a
double digit Pre-Season AP Poll Ranked Team has made it to the CFP Final
Four!
Chris Fallica, aka “The
Bear” on ESPN’s Game Day, pulled this juicy detail out and stated, “the
candidate that best fits this model for the 2018 season?
Michigan.”
Yep – perfect spot to be ranked.
Did you happen to catch the before and after photos of Rashan Gary
after the “Herbert” treatment? Seems
like Michigan has a pretty good strength and conditioning guy now!!!
I did see the before
and after of Rashan, but I was unable to relocate it on Twitter. I hate twitter with that respect. There’s not a really good search engine to
find stuff that was posted even less than a week ago. However, I did find the before and after of
Devin Bush, and yeah, I like what I’m seeing.
This is going to be a muscled up, lean team heading into the
season. Off season conditioning is
EVERYTHING!!! Herbert appears to be a Barwis
(Rich Rod) type of individual.
Eat right, rotate your proteins and carbs, exercise muscle groups at
different intervals, the importance of aerobic lifting to build stamina, etc.
ETC
Satan “S@#$%s Out” Players!!!
If any other coach other than Satan had made this
statement, he’d be getting rode hard all over social media as being a guy that
immediately needs to be canned!
But not Satan! He can get away
with anything!
