The Victors

I don't get the impression Whitt uses to the media to motivate guys like Harbaugh did. I think he and Beck have been very honest about Bryce this offseason. To the level that is hype is up to the listener.*

• McQ&A?* - By gbmcq August 21, 2026 at 01:54:31 PM
  • Should we believe the coaches hyping up the DL as a strength of the team? The DL, particularly the DTs, are my biggest concern for the year?* - By VictorsValiant August 21, 2026 at 02:59:18 PM
    • I am much higher on the DEs than the DTs. - By gbmcq August 21, 2026 at 03:03:36 PM
  • What was Bryce's "big breakthrough" today (or maybe it was yesterday)?* - By Cap August 21, 2026 at 02:44:24 PM
    • Word is leaking out that for first time this season he was able to align ear holes with his ears when repeatedly putting helmet on. * - By jhamm August 21, 2026 at 03:42:33 PM
    • I have no idea. That person has been very critical of Bryce and has shaped a narrative, I can't speak to why he is calling anything a breakthrough. As if after 9 months there was a singular moment.* - By gbmcq August 21, 2026 at 02:48:48 PM
      • Yeah, I thought it was a weird comment too. Especially if it's true he's already had 13+ straight great practices.* - By Cap August 21, 2026 at 02:56:54 PM
      • It's reassuring if a critic feels the need to pivot, and makes up something ridiculous to do it.* - By ftb August 21, 2026 at 02:50:49 PM
        • Breakthrough = my bunghole just clenched over 9 months of cocksure criticism maybe blowing up in my face. Bingo presto, BREAKTHROUGH. * - By plug August 21, 2026 at 03:07:55 PM
          • LOL. 100%* - By LKLIII August 21, 2026 at 03:15:03 PM
  • am i wrong to believe the bryce hype? i would think the coaches would be incentivized to - By DetUMICH August 21, 2026 at 02:18:05 PM
    • Again, it's how you view the hype. Bryce is insanely talented, people forget that. He wasn't as bad last year as people say. He's improved this offseason and staff is happy with the progress. It's all just reality.* - By gbmcq August 21, 2026 at 02:43:27 PM
      • amen, go back and watch the Washington game, 21-27, 230, 2 Tds, avg 8.5 - By Adamantiumblue August 21, 2026 at 04:46:48 PM
      • it's crazy that people forget he was the best qb recruit since Trevor Lawrence, in an era where the recruiting services have improved their accuracy. who gives a flying FUCK what he did last year with sherrone as head coach, an o-line that couldn't pass block, and half a good receiver?

        • yeah i mean, his stats were nothing special but he was barely 18 and even - By DetUMICH August 21, 2026 at 03:01:46 PM
    • I'm a huge Bryce guy and the hype gives me pause.* - By LS&Play August 21, 2026 at 02:29:58 PM
      • i am a HUGE buyer* - By crumbs August 21, 2026 at 02:35:21 PM
        • Will he be good enough to quiet MB's OU glazing?* - By LS&Play August 21, 2026 at 02:37:04 PM
          • He’s a Mateer GLZR* - By crumbs August 21, 2026 at 02:41:11 PM
  • What is Michigan’s stance on taking NFL cuts after 8/30? I assume 0.00%** - By xcheck August 21, 2026 at 02:13:38 PM
    • The impression I got is unless there is full clarity (IE the NCAA drops cases, and promises not to rule players ineligible after the fact) I don't think Michigan will entertain it.* - By gbmcq August 21, 2026 at 02:42:18 PM
  • How will our pass blocking look vs last season?* - By cp August 21, 2026 at 02:06:06 PM
    • Vastly improved. More experience, stronger, better coaching, better scheme, on and on. Sprague and Frazier have taken big strides.* - By gbmcq August 21, 2026 at 02:41:24 PM
  • Percent Bryce hype is accurate and percent it's aimed at confidence.* - By ftb August 21, 2026 at 02:04:46 PM

    • It reminds me of the scene in Moneyball where the coach and GM are trying to hype up Chris Pratt’s character at first base.* - By apblue August 21, 2026 at 02:25:51 PM
  • What position group will surprise to the upside, and what one will surprise to the downside?* - By Daytripper August 21, 2026 at 01:56:23 PM
    • LB to the upside just because of how much they've been talked about. I'll say safety to the downside, only because I'm still so iffy on Moore.* - By gbmcq August 21, 2026 at 02:39:47 PM
