Late last week I put out a post on the message board asking for questions for a mailbag, as I haven't done one since the summer and now seems like a good time to fit one in. To no one's surprise, nearly all of the questions were football related. I picked the best 14 questions and if yours wasn't chosen, better luck next time. I did my best to pick as many good ones as possible, but there is never enough space for them all. Two quick notes on question topics: 1.) there were a lot of questions that are Rose Bowl gameplan-ish and I decided I will answer them in FFFF rather than here and 2.) several Donovan Edwards questions that I chose not to answer because you can read Seth's piece from last week. Assuming Coach stays and JJ leaves, what does the offense look like next year? (-Ray) I answered a version of this question in the summer that was focused on 2024 generally but now is a good time to check back in on the picture. The question assumes JJ is leaving, s

11/25/2023 – Michigan 30, Ohio State 24 – 12-0, 9-0 Big Ten, Big Ten East Champs Shrek was nude, erect, and prodigious. This did not phase me. I am a member of the Oregon Trail generation. When the guy who posted this at me was still in the womb I was casually scrolling past goatse and lemonparty. There is only one image on the internet that has ever shook me. I will not say what it is, and I have not seen it in fifteen years. Turgid Shrek is nothing compared to it. It goes without saying that this happened on Twitter, which was already a cesspool before Elon Musk took it over. It was already a cesspool before Ohio State's PI firm spun the Connor Stalions stuff into the Worst Scandal In College Football History™ and Tony Petitti took the bait. Combine these two events and you get the last month of the season, the most hellish one imaginable when your very excellent football team is heading for an undefeated matchup in the greatest rivalry in sports. The context is this: some

What's this? Why no UFR? YouTube just implemented a daily limit of video uploads unless you've gone through a verification process that they have a 24 hour turnaround on. So it'll have to be tomorrow. Instead: this. Hooray! Seems like everything has happened. I haven't put up one of these posts this week because there hasn't been much to talk about. It seems like everything bad has been reported, more or less, and that the Harbaugh suspension is the only thing that's happening before the NCAA issues a ruling in 2026. There's a hearing Friday as Michigan seeks to get its temporary restraining order, which I am not qualified to opine about the likelihood of. You seem to get wildly different takes from the various law-talking guys out there. As far as the NCAA stuff is concerned. It still seems clear that Stalions was operating on his own. Or, at least, it's clear there's no evidence tying anyone else into Stalions's scheme. Michigan set a

The narrative begins to turn. Finally we have some takes in the media that properly contextualize the seriousness of The Worst Scandal In The History Of The Big Ten. I recommend the entirety of this Dan Wetzel piece: In Michigan’s case, the “advanced scouts” were Stalions’ band of iPhone-toting buddies. In Purdue’s case, the “advanced scouts” were the professional coaching staffs of two other Big Ten teams that had just played the Wolverines, and thus could battle-test the signs they stole as accurate. Which would you rather have? Raw cell phone footage that still needs to be broken down, or highly experienced coaches just handing over their work? Everyone would choose the Purdue option. Even if Ohio State and Rutgers acquired Michigan signs via NCAA-legal game film or during game action, it doesn’t matter. Purdue didn’t do that work. The Boilermakers received stolen signs from advanced scouting. They cheated as much as Michigan. Wetzel was properly incredulous about
