There’s a very compelling argument to move on from Whittingham ASAP but think for a second about who would make the hire to replace him. I’d rather just get rid of Beck and run it back for 2027 with Whittingham and Jay Hill and see what happens

"I don't think it's time to panic." Kyle Whittingham, Monday. Michigan's athletic budget counts on $150.6M from fans and donors this year, more than half of it, with no surplus. Fans won't wait for him to panic. Whittingham has to go after this season. 🧵
Horizontal bar chart of Michigan's FY2027 athletics revenue budget by line. Lines paid by fans and donors (tickets, seat donations, other gifts, merch royalties, concessions and parking) total $150.6M, 51% of the $297.3M budget; Big Ten and TV money is the largest single line.

The timing sucks, but you don’t want a new AD to come in and have to deal with a coaching search for his first two weeks or so on the job, you gotta give him the chance to settle in. And you’d still be working behind the coaching carousel/recruiting/portal most likely

Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton has sustained a left hamstring strain and will miss time, sources tell ESPN. Pacers doctors and Haliburton are now gathering a clear timeline.

European football to the United Soccer League to MLS (USL/MLS joining forces) will be the catalyst for major North American sports leagues to move to a promotion and relegation system.

My understanding of modern dating is that no one is attractive enough for anyone, doing literally anything is an ick, and the entire species is out of its own league.

Hear me out. I have a theory. Kyle Whittingham is actually dead. The University of Michigan medical program is one of the few research centers to have successfully conducted reanimation and it is in the trial phase This is why Kyle rarely blinks and makes the faces that look like he’s shitting himself Reanimation requires a handler, who guides them in PR and decision making. His handler is Jason Beck

Uses his off-arm to illegally create the space and then proceeds to talk shit about how he can't be stopped. This is why nobody likes him or his team. That said they're kicking our ass tonight.

Literally any other QB that played a snap for Michigan since the Harbaugh era began wins this game

John O’Korn came as close to single-handedly losing this game as it’s possible to do in a game where there are 21 other players on the field

Isaiah Hartenstein said he’s owned a Jalen Williams jersey since last season but couldn’t find a reason to wear it until now. Also said Cason Wallace texted him why he didn’t wear his jersey tonight. Said he’ll buy a jersey of him too

Also a thing with these people is that when they claim they want to be hated, it’s actually a complete lie. They desperately want to be liked

Voters saw Indiana get taken to OT by a bad Michigan team with a freshman QB making his first start and thought “Oh ya, we gotta bump them up from 6 to 4 stat.”

What Thunder fans are you talking about?

The dichotomy between how Thunder fans reacted to Tyrese vs how Pacers fans are reacting to Jalen Williams injury tells you all you need to know about which organizations fans have class. No surprise here.
