Very humbling and inspiring to be included among a whole heck of a lot of names I’ve admired for a long time. Hell World is a special place, and more than worth your subscription.

I’ll just say that if you complained about extremely bad fundamentals (tackling) all season and are now carping about how you’d have preferred Fisch or Drinkwitz (????), you deserved the Dave Brandon years.

The in-fighting has intensified, but internecine conflict is to be expected in our struggle. The path is set out before our cause; last night in a dream I saw the crowd pop the Arizonan will get in Crisler, and today I bring the purpose and resolve of Eck Thought to the New Popular Front for Kenny.

JOE BUCK: And we welcome you to Hernia Mesh Removal Malpractice Lawyers & Deja Vu Stadium on the shores of Lake Michigan in beautiful Northwest Indiana!

You ever notice how the “I am being treated like Galileo!” guys seem to always take that stand with an extremely similar kind of position?

I just want to say that having “edit” right above “undo send” in iMessage is the clearest sign we have that we need to liquidate the assets of big tech and nationalize them.

After Jenner & Block completes this necessary investigation, I’d love for them to investigate Michigan’s contracts and communications with City Shield, Grand River Strategies, InCompliance aka Beyond Consulting, and AG Dana Nessel re: coordinated harassment & violations of student’s 1A rights!
My expectations are clear: the findings must be made public.
Transparency is essential to restoring trust and meeting the expectations of our students, faculty, alumni, the people of this state, and everyone who believes in the values this university claims to represent.

Speaking of doing this, and to continue my propagandizing, I just don’t understand how a daggummit-speaking, fiery veteran of the OL-making mines isn’t getting more play. Does he not have an agent??

Morgan Scalley is now the Otro Capital & Limited Partners Head Football Coach at The University of Utah
NEWS: Kyle Whittingham, the all-time winningest head coach in the history of Utah’s football program, will step down from leading the Utes.

He’ll wrap up his career with the Las Vegas Bowl on Dec. 31.

Dusty May is a very clear example of how even mildly separating yourself from navel-gazing about Your Glorious Past doesn’t preclude tremendous results that meaningfully engage fans and alumni. Whether anyone around the football program is willing to learn that lesson *even now* is another story.
I just don't think Warde Manuel is the dude to be in charge of one of the most powerful machines in American sports. @slate.com column on the Sherrone Moore fallout slate.com/culture/2025...

Warde Manuel should have absolutely never survived the Mel Pearson story. But it was hockey so no one cared
I'm pretty wary of connecting anything about this Moore case to the sign-stealing or anything else. Gets a little too real too quick when alleged real-world criminality is compared to acting like a mafioso but in NCAA fake court. However I don't see why Warde Manuel should get to keep hiring people

If the regents only like to take action around football matters, perhaps they could consider the additional goodwill that would come of banning Portnoy and Lewan from campus.

The enemy wants to destroy your soul with psychic violence. Their malevolence knows no limit. You have only to revisit Eck Thought, recall how easy it is to snap the ball under the QB’s legs to the tailback, which your enemy is never expecting.

College football is too big to fail. The NFL is completely reliant on it as a developmental league / talent pool. Backwards looking “it’s over” takes in the wake of Utah’s PE deal, continued conference spasms, and an embarrassing postseason structure enervate me because the real horrors are to come!

We need to ban replay, humans are too stupid for the level of detail.

A 12 team playoff works if you have normal sized conferences and the point of conference play is to win a conference championship. The sport is trying to do 4 different things at the same time, always, because money. 🤷‍♂️
