“A mainstay of charts and graphs twitter” - MGo “Top-notch, safe, family-friendly heckler” - Benetti
I am old and decrepit but man I could not be more in on this band. They have great albums and they put on a good live show.
The Beths are the best new thing of the past couple years I’ve heard. The lead single off the most recent album is very good but there’s much more on the album and some jams on past albums too.

Kevin Pollak is good in everything and for no reason other than he respects every role he’s ever been given.

Remember how good the song Mighty Wings is?

rarely seen a conference game where one team was like “k yeah you’ll win by 30 right?” and the other team was like “okay whew sure yeah I was hoping you would say that”

Jyaire got roasted bc he barely got lined up and the played very lazy technique. Lucky they didn’t replay that whole thing.

Michigan D looking kinda lackadaisical. Have seen us bust our rules a lot more than I’d like considering the obvious. Maryland is sleepwalking and low efforting even harder. Silly game.
November 22, 2025 at 10:34 PM
Fire zone and we rotated weak so they had us overloaded strong. Multiple open WRs. Pick anyway.

Michigan vs Maryland plays a lot more C3 and C1 to match their RPOs. Watch the safety to the TE, will tell you if they’re 1 or 2 high that snap.
November 22, 2025 at 9:47 PM
I would never play MOD to Marsh rn. Bryce always looks to him.
November 22, 2025 at 9:34 PM
Same thing this week! Get it together, Braun! Even if it doesn’t matter at all!
I think icing pretty much irrelevant but I hate Braun calling it that early. Should be trying to get it as late as possible and be okay with not getting it.

Rutgers playing a ton of true Cover 2. Don’t see a lot of true C2 to both sides of the field. Have to carry verticals up the seam and funnel 1 to the safety to take away the open middle of the field.

Smash is the classic C2 beater but also expect high/low in the middle of the field.

This was a really clarifying video for me from Coach.

Michigan I think is trying to do something like this 7-man spacing even in an 8-man box with their fits but having their LBs fit the ball rather than doing anything special to make up for being gapped out.

Why did we call a TO? We’re settling for a FG right?
November 15, 2025 at 8:42 PM
Bryce trying to do too much. Keep going to the Arrow IZ RPO but the give was clearly there. Pulls and then forces to Marsh.

He’s too revved up.
November 15, 2025 at 8:32 PM
First time that open side Pistol Arrow IZ RPO has been stuffed. Been a reliable 3-10 yards this half.
November 15, 2025 at 8:25 PM
Truly insane that Jordan Young was on the field for that play.
November 15, 2025 at 8:22 PM
Bryce nearly threw that pick earlier this game. He needs to verify that the weak safety has cleared if he’s going to rip that. Run read.

And hey that’s what Joel is saying.
November 15, 2025 at 8:20 PM
Michigan has started to really make hay from Pistol running to the open side. They’re making it so the blitz is coming from the other side bc there’s no overhang strong to bring it from
November 15, 2025 at 8:18 PM
Obviously 3 turnovers to 0 is a lot luck but when you aren’t constantly grinding edges you put yourself into spots where you can lose to luck.

If this D and ST was as well coached as it should be, we’d still be up 10.
November 15, 2025 at 8:13 PM
Bowles vacates his zone in C2. He MUST get a vertical carry there to protect the safety who has to be able to cap 1 vertical.

He’s had these issues all year.
November 15, 2025 at 7:59 PM
Pretty sure that was just quarters to the Curtis side. He should’ve had a chuck and seen the route coming from a mile away. Don’t care for that one.
November 15, 2025 at 7:53 PM
32 Personnel G Lead. Marshall tried to bounce but needed to just stick it up.
November 15, 2025 at 7:44 PM
Boot RPO from Pistol there. Think that’s helping Bruce throw into space when they get blitz.

And then OZ, could see how hard they’re attacking vs Pistol.

Michigan clearly knows what they’re doing now.
