Point Counterpoint

This was a stab at another, the other, perspective.  Never delete or edit because a blog is a record!  It was my effort at saying it is all going to be over soon anyway.  My actual prediction was pretty close.

As for the game, I think Kalen DeBoer blew it and he is a terrible hire for Alabama.  Coach had his running back and QB injured but he kept them in with his bully-pulpit rhetoric.  Alabama's stars will not tolerate that.  DeBoer made several other bad decisions that could have cost them the game.  His offense performed better than anyone all season against Michigan; he should have taken the ball to start the game.  He misjudged Michigan's defense.  Another mistake was a fourth down attempt.  I think there was one or more mistake too.  Oh, and he lied before the game saying RB Johnson was fine.  He could have been severely injured.

Washington could not ask for a better culmination.  They conquered the Pac-12 on the way out in undefeated style.  We need to beat the biggest and the best to complete it.  And we will do it.

There is no bigger Goliath.

Michigan recruits players who want the limelight.  Scratch that.  They're all NFL.  And they think they're NFL.  They can't get their minds off the NFL.

Washington thinks they're the best in college football.

Here's how they have proved it all season long.

Who ever heard of bonding over getting caught?

It is great while it lasts.  At this moment, 11AM mountain time there are about 10 hours left.  

Revenue sharing with players?  How about less revenue!

It has become worse every year with transfers, NIL, realignment, mock drafts and teen recruiting rankings, social media and videos.  College football is not a job or career.  I get it, most of the players look at it that way but Jim Harbaugh lives that way.  

Who really cares about PFF?.  It is not pro football!

It is natural.  It is human nature.  If Jim Harbaugh doesn't want us we don't want him.  And it does not matter a lick what happens in tonight's game.

Things...  Jesse Minter's father was the head coach at Cincinnati for quite a few years.  He comes from a football family.  I don't know, Sioux Falls and little education to $2 million as an OC...  Eastern Michigan?  I lost a lot of respect for Harbaugh when I learned at a young age his son plays.  It is not enough that son "Jaybaugh" is addicted.  Kaleb DeBoer seems like Ryan Day:  too consumed.

It is like brainwashing.  Or gaslighting.  You are ignoring the rest of the data, i.e., the world.  Harbaugh, the leader is the best spokesperson, football coach, and motivator the University could possibly have.  But he is just a football coach.

I cannot fathom the logic of, "If I win this game it is my last."  It is one game and one season.

The rest of us will still be here.
