Michigan Football - 2024 Season.

[Hannibal]

So they are literally rebooting everything from the 1980s.

Man, Jeff Fisher. Dude was a player, assistant, and head coach in the NFL for like 35 straight years. Doesn't he have better things to do with his time? Or just wants a little extra boat money?

Wiz, your boy Mike Riley is coaching the New Jersey Generals!

Ah yes Smilin" Mike...career .500 coach...say what you will but the cat has a better record at UNL than FROSTY!!!!!

They are going to continue to run these leagues because the NFL has a slight need for developmental and they get some decent ratings. The problem is running a football team is incredibly expensive so they always fail. It is the Kramer/Newman returnable conundrum.

Time to bust up that huge monopoly known as the NFL!!!!!

That is such a great analogy and one of my favorite episodes.

Not as good as the magic lugie or the marine biologist...

[Mike]

Nice play, pretty boy!

Pretty much. Biggest difference is that ALL of the games are being played in Birmingham Alabama, which cuts out travel costs and making agreements with other stadiums, etc. The Freep said that eventually the USFL wants to have each team play in their local areas, but there's no hurry. Not sure where the Panthers would play, unless the Ford family decides to be nice. I guess they could play at a college venue. CMU's stadium would be a nice place because of its location in the middle of the state. They can comfortably seat 25-30K there and there's plenty of on-site parking. EMU's stadium is a possibility as well, but they'd probably draw more than Eastern, which would make the "Eagles" jealous.

I'm going to watch the games. I love football, and I can't wait to see Shea Patterson again!!!!!!

Jim Harbaugh to hire Denard Robinson as assistant director of player personne. Whatever that is, could help with recruiting.? Very well liked and outgoing personality Another young hire, he's 31 seems like yesterday he dropped his first snap, then ran about 50 yards for TD.

[WingsFan]

Seen this from another Michigan board (no politics BS) much much better. Wow so much for talk of we need a 'Michigan Man'


Harbaugh has done a good job of bringing back all generations of Michigan football into his staff

He and Warde represent Bo
Elston represents Moeller and Carr
Bellamy and Hart represent Carr
Denard represents Hoke and Rich Rod
Newsome represents Harbaugh


For how often we heard about different factions within Schembechler hall…. The above staff does a lot to quiet the noise of that were ever a real thing

This is way more fun to watch than blown-up Russian tanks APCs and dead Russian soldiers dying for Vlad and Mother Russia - wait, maybe not.

Old YouTube video tribute to Denard, who, as mentioned above, was hired yesterday in some kind of recruiting/personnel management position. I can't think of a better person than Denard to host recruits and their families. Great hire by HARBAUGH!!!!.

TIFWIW ...... Just out, Balas has reported that JJ McCarthy has a throwing arm injury that will need surgery. No details.

[Mike]

Of course he does.

[lineygoblue]

Well, no more spring practice for him. Depending on the severity, the injury may decide who starts this fall.
