    Michigan and Washington have scheduled a home and home for 2020/2021. Hooray home and home. Hooray half decent teams.

    I figured he meant the huskies, but years of living in this state has taught me to never assume because this country loved washington so much.

    Yes, the one in Seattle, who 20 years ago played back to back Rose Bowls against Michigan, the first of which (where Washington annihilated Michigan behind Mark Brunell) is the first football game I remember watching.

    That should be a decent match up, well should be, I don't know with the new Boise State Huskies. I heard they're going to dye the field a horrific eye fucking color of purple so he can feel at home.

    Please, with how in love this school is with purple already, they'd be using Peterson as an excuse. I'm surprised it wasn't part of the stadium renovations.

    So since he's been fired, I won't get to return to the weekly tradition of "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF I HATE AL BORGES" this year. But as a flashback to days of yesteryear, I would like to present a quote:
    Devin Gardner on SiriusXM: "Before coach Nuss got here, I never had to identify a MIKE ... now I know where pressure's coming from."

    FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF I HATE AL BORGES

    There are two things going on in that quote:

    1) Michigan was so fucking slow getting to the line under Borges that they rarely had time to adjust the play/figure out protections.
    2) That didn't actually matter, because nobody coached Gardner to actually do any of those things/he didn't have the authority. Run the play we told you to run seemed to be the final solution.

    This leads to significant confusion between the offensive line and the quarterback, so for example, when Michigan State blitzes the same fucking gap every god damn play for like three years straight, nobody knows what the fuck is going on.

    And that's why Devin Gardner's ribs resembled oatmeal by the end of last season.

    I see, so Michigan didn't have a very good coach is what you are saying.

    How in the fuck? Hackenberg was calling coverages last year as a true freshman. How was a redshirt Junior not doing that?!!?

    Because Al Borges is an idiot, basically. Coach BOB is a somewhat better QB coach. To say the least.

    I mean, the center was the one responsible for assigning protection, in theory. But that position kept switching...

    Actually no. I almost never drink. Though I linked a lot of mgoblog where whiskey was prominently involved.

    We'll see what happens in the coming year, but I suspect we might see more of this enthusiastic young lady.

    Well, all the players I didn't like (Lewan, Gibbons, Alex Guptill, who was a hockey player and wasn't investigated for various felonies so it's unfair to mention him in the same sentence as those two but still that lazy asshole annoyed me kind of a lot) are gone for the most part. Borges is gone.

    The offensive line coach, however, was retained. So expect a lot of rage directed at Darrell Funk.

    MIKE is a middle linebacker. SAM is a strong side linebacker. WILL is a weak side linebacker. They call them by those names on the field because saying "Middle Linebacker!" is long and you want a short, one syllable identifier for them. So you'd just call one of those names and the player's number. It doesn't particularly matter if that's actually the defender's true position that he's really playing in that particular defense, the quarterback, or center, or whomever is responsible for it just identifies certain defenders as certain things for the blocking/protection scheme the play they're running calls for. The offense keys off of that spot and everyone extrapolates who they're supposed to block from there outward.

    So Franklin did his first PSU radio show, and whatever else you may think of the may, you have got to love someone that puts Rudy in his place:
    We go full speed on Tuesday and Wednesday with competitive scout teams. I told the scout teams I want them to be Rudys with talent.

    If he had said Rudys without the tendency to commit fraud and get hammered by the SEC (the government one) that would be awesome.

    The whole thing with Rudy is Notre Dame's self-mythologizing of their own status as special snowflakes and pretending they're not just another football factory.

    Fuck Rudy. Everyone has walk ons.

    If they had talent they wouldn't be playing for a B1G school.

    Deadspin had a thing about this basically fuck Notre Dame. Like they are using that they outed their shitty players as a reason why they are the best. "See once it was bloody obvious we did something awful we owned up to it!"

    Of course, they can't be fucking bothered to investigate the two deaths linked to the program...
