It's science. Raj has a set of dials you could run a nuclear powerplant on: click for big A Sopwith update. Sopwith has privately shared the source of his information with us and has been spot-on so far, so here's the update if you aren't an obsessive message-boarder: 1. "Follow the Money" won't lead anywhere. The money indeed came from Stalions' personal funds. Stop biting your fingernails off. 2. No coaches/staff knew anything other than he appeared to be a Ray Babbitt-level savant at deciphering signals from the normal raw materials. This isn't escalating. 3. Only the Vast Network (TM) had the shared Google drive pw, but the drive link was installed on his work computer. Not clear if anyone in Schembechler could potentially have accessed but WaPo took this and spun it in the most click-maximizing, heartburn-inducing way. As I said in response to the Post article, it simply did not seem possible that Stalions would be physically able to give an

Something's been missing from Michigan gamedays since the free programs ceased being economically viable: scientific gameday predictions that are not at all preordained by the strictures of a column in which one writer takes a positive tack and the other a negative one… something like Punt-Counterpunt.

And in that light, I have a confession to make. It was me. I did it. All of it. Since 2013, I have been taking careful, detailed notes about Michigan’s opponents. Scouting them. Analyzing them for strengths. Probing them for weaknesses. And for a decade, I’ve been documenting my findings in this highly secure database. It was my understanding that this information was ONLY available to Michigan’s coaching staff. However, it has come to my
Team Maize defeated Team Blue down at the Big House today in Michigan Football's 2022 Spring Game by a final score of 22-21, winning on a two-point conversion and an ultimate fourth down defensive stand. The weather was cold and chilly and Michigan was without the likes of stars Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards, but a number of young players and new additions made themselves felt in the narrative of the game. What does it ultimately mean? Probably very little! Do I still have takes on it? Of course! Here's a short collection of instant takes, before Seth and Brian comb through the tape this week: [Bryan Fuller] OFFENSE Peyton O'Leary IS Cooper Kupp. By the time O'Leary snatched the game-winning two point pass, he was already becoming the player of the game, but his closing heroics for Team Maize cemented it. O'Leary was catching balls from both JJ McCarthy and Davis Warren, finding ways to get himself open all game long, including when (often) matched up o
I was going through tweets/videos of the postgame incident this morning because I was determined to figure out how Ja'Den McBurrows ended up in that situation. I think I have it figured out. In this video from TomVH you can see two players head up the tunnel while MSU is headed in, Gemon Green and Ja'Den McBurrows after him:
