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 best story you'll read all day www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/u... [gift link]

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! TROY AIKMAN: *coughing*

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.

You are not allowed to say this paper’s sports page has a U of M bias anymore

JAMES LIPTON: As you know we do a survey inspired by the great Bernard Pivot. What is your favorite word? JJ MCCARTHY: Touchdown. LIPTON: Can we speak to Nine? MCCARTHY: (ducks down puts on enormous amount of eye black) LIPTON: Nine, what is your favorite word? NINE (rasping like batman): meat

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!

Telling my children this is Michael Gira

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

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.

any U of M Regent who isn’t talking a total purge of the AD’s office and an overhaul of the administrative culture is, to put it lightly, Fucking Unserious

Warde Manuel should have absolutely never survived the Mel Pearson story. But it was hockey so no one cared

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. It’s time for the Woke 2 Go Blue Guarantee.

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.

Great now I have to run around all week grabbing people’s shoulders as I hear them say things like “DeBoer I guess?” screaming JASON ECk! GOOGLE JASON ECK! DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO WIN AT IDAHO OR NEW MEXICO????

Hire jason eck imo

Just got out of the spreadsheet mines on a busy workday, what’d I miss?

Get C Diff for Christmas

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. 🤷‍♂️

Wow so you’re telling the college football playoff committee’s decisions are clearly internally inconsistent, absurd, and feel like the arbitrary choices of a bunch of rich idiots forced to compromise despite mutually exclusive stubbornness, thoughtlessness, paranoia, and profit motives?

Have yourself…

They gotta make these guys kick into a trash can hung from the roof or something

DAN CALLED ANOTHER ONE

Oh no I think Bates just got his bell rung

Ball don’t lie

Turn the penalty sliders back on

They’re just making shit up now

Spartan fans get ready to learn the magnificent program ceiling you’ve been craving: Frustrating Iowa.

it really does seem like the only people who have any possibility of getting anything from going to college now are conservative christians who want to set up their grievance grift backstory/get any non white/christian/conservative/straight faculty fired

more and more feels like the high cost of college is inculcating a consumer mindset among students. a degree as something that is purchased rather than earned, a grade as something that is haggled over rather than worked for

I seriously have no idea why you’d hire Pat Fitzgerald. He wasn’t a playcaller or strategic mind, his whole schtick was selling Northwestern Culture because he played there, and then it turns out that culture featured a brutal atmosphere of sexual hazing

LSU is paying its previous football coach over $50 million NOT to coach there while likely guaranteeing Kiffin something approaching double that, all while having an academic hiring freeze and budget cuts across the board. What is the purpose of a university (rhetorical)?

if you’re not watching this game rn as self care why not. this is dream world football

Truly don’t understand the doomspeak. Ryan Day sleepily passed an open book test and we all know Moore is getting one more year and what needs to change +the odds he’ll be able to change it. Requires zero further emotional cost until August.

Matt Lefleur is the NFL referee association’s special little guy

What on Earth is the Rick Flair stuff about at Light Beer Arena tonight

You should only be surprised by this if you do not know what the CIA is.

It’s ok you can tackle Aidan Hutchinson who cares

We really didn’t feel like it might make sense to get one more piece for the secondary before the deadline?

It’s Joever

If you do the Trump dance you develop incurable dropsies I guess.

Max hurt. Haha no worries. Noooo worries. Haha just checking out the structural integrity of my oven. No I didn’t also read the Haussmann rumors haha.

Please stop putting your hand over the open flame for fun, sir.
