2023 NCAA Football

[Jeff]

Jim Franklin does it the right way. He has integrity, unlike that cheat Jim Harbaugh.........

Show me where Harbaugh cheated. Go ahead... I'll wait.
He doesn't even call the plays.

[Rstewart]

Well, how do suppose Mich is gonna do today w/o Harbaugh?

[Incogneeto]

MICHIGAN vs EVERYBODY.




Bet.

[Incogneeto]

Michigan has been given all the motivation they could need.

They will be making a Statement.

If possible they will score 70+ points.

[Dan_AKA_ROY23]

Good win by Michigan.

[Incogneeto]

Good win by Michigan.

 

To Be Honest I know nothing about "The Ohio State"

But I like Michigan Because of Harbaugh. I'm a Bears Fan. He QB'd for the Bears.

Working for Ditka. I find it hard to believe Harbaugh would Cheat.

I do believe EVERY team likes an advantage.

And yes they will bend the rules.

But I also believe if Caught Harbaugh would fall on his Sword.

I watched the post game Interviews and every Player and Coach Interviewed Backed Harbaugh.

You don't get that Respect by Cheating.

[Jeff]

Good win by Michigan.

How's that crow taste?

As someone from ESPN put it "It's gutless" to suspend him. And ESPN isn't a fan of Michigan usually.
The commish is a fucking coward and bowed to the pressure of some of the other coaches (Franklin, Day, etc..) to take action.
Franklin still having a job is mind blowing to me. How many OC's have to be sacrificed to make the AD realize he's not a good coach? 3-17 vs top 10 teams.


I guess due process doesn't exist. Nothing has been proven, the NCAA hasn't even finished their "investigation".



Michigan did what they needed to do, ran it down psu's throat 32 straight times to end the game against the #1 rush defense in the country and they couldn't do a damn thing about it.

Michigan was the better team and deserved the win.

Penn State's D held the fort for the majority of the game, but the offense was just pathetic.

Lots of PSU fans (myself included) are pissed off with Franklin's decision to go for it on 4th & 5 on his own 30 with more than 4 minutes remaining in the game.

His defense held Michigan to 3 consecutive punts in their last 3 possessions, yet he suddenly decides to put the whole game on the sputtering offense with plenty of time left. 

Didn't make sense then, and it still doesn't make sense now.
When your D is carrying you for the whole game, you let THEM have every opportunity to possibly create a turnover that could win you the game, or in this case, have a chance to tie.

I'm not saying they would have done that, but the defense had a far better chance of making something happen than the offense did.

Anyway as to the Harbaugh decision, the NC double asshats put the cart before the horse again by suspending him before (by their own admission) the investigation is even finished. 

Handing down the sentence before the verdict is never a good idea, but asshats gonna be asshats...

It wasn't the NCAA, it was the B1G commissioner. And he's an Ivy League dooshbag.

To me, not having watched PSU much this year except for some highlights, it looked like your QB was either very inexperienced or scared. Something was definitely off.

The decision to go for it on 4th at that time I think was a no brainer I think you guys were down by 15 at that time iirc. He knew all we were doing was running the ball and the chances of getting a fumble recovery were slim to none. But I've seen a lot of chatter that agrees with you and thinks it was a stupid decision.

Aaaaaah OK.
Thanks for clarifying.

Either way it was a stupid decision to suspend a guy before the investigation was even finished...

No, they were only down by 8 with over 4 minutes left, which changes the calculus in my opinion.
A TD w/ 2-point conversion ties the game, so even though it wasn't probable, it was at least doable.

Yes, Allar was definitely out of sorts, which is why I think punting in that situation and giving your D one last chance to make a play down the field was the right call.

Instead they turned it over on downs, giving Michigan great field position and sensing blood in the water.
The next play resulted in the final Michigan TD that sealed the deal.

I have not been a James Franklin fan from day one, and this to me is just another example of his poor decision making.   

Having said that, the game was certainly no blowout, so we can be happy that our guys hung in there against a better team.

Your D is the real deal I didn't expect them to be that good.
