I've said this already in my many chats, but I think this is going to hinge on whether the first Portal Guy tweet is about "Michigan opening the checkbook" or "Bryce Underwood exploring his options"
I think Whittingham is a really good coach.
I think Michigan hiring a 66 year old that has spent 2 years in the last 50 outside the mountain west, and never in the Midwest, is not ideal. Could work, but somehow with a good coach there are tons of questions

I’ve enjoyed all three Knives Out movies but I have to admit I don’t understand why they are all precisely 15 percent about right wing influencers

The Year “6 7” Ate Parents’ Minds

Target with one checkout lane open on Sunday, Dec. 14. Again I would like to know the identity of the efficiency consultant who came up with the “no cashiers” system for retail. Just to talk.

American sports thinks that the audience has to be constantly stimulated and assaulted from all senses. It’s really ridiculous going to sporting events and realizing that there’s not one moment where you’re not being overwhelmed by something.
Think my oldest person belief is "you don't always need to blast music in between the action at a sporting event"

Being told that the disgraced coach’s lawyer today is going to be a guy who regularly appears on the radio show hosted by one of the guys who does the “pregame broadcast from a big tent outside the stadium thing.”
The one thing I think non-Michigan people should know about times like this is that you can often get information before it's published elsewhere by following what a guy who goes by "Big Boutros" posts across multiple message boards

there is a culture problem with Michigan athletics but so many outsider perspectives do not cite cronyism or runaway profit motives, they mostly want Michigan to address how some of your dads friends are kind of annoying
