broad generalizations don't really work across different players, coaches, and eras

Posted on September 7, 2026 at 02:56:16 PM by DoctorD

Michigan has had plenty of games that they came out on fire on the first drive and just dominated teams from start to finish. They have also had up and down games. They have also laid stinkers. I assume this is similar to other programs.

Back to the board

Obviously, this doesn’t explain everything bad about the WMU game, but the team was clearly not mentally locked in at all… - By Craig September 7, 2026 at 12:30:28 PM
- Maize jerseys set the tone. Arrogant, dismissive of the program tradition, disrespectful of the opponent. Whittingham thought he was going to waltz in here, change some shit, cruise to an easy win. Nutty as it sounds, I actually mean this. - By Ev September 7, 2026 at 12:53:55 PM
  - Whitt talked like he had a playoff team in fall camp. And yet BU didn't have a single live rep. It's just not adding up* - By Daytripper September 7, 2026 at 01:24:35 PM
    - How unusual is it to not have a single live rep? It seems like the downsides of that for a young QB would outweigh the upside.* - By LS&Play September 7, 2026 at 01:35:00 PM

  - great post* - By Daytripper September 7, 2026 at 12:52:48 PM
- Poster P made fun of JJ's meditation before games, but it seems to me that would do Bryce a world of good. Or at least a Greg Harden figure.* - By Cap September 7, 2026 at 12:49:41 PM
  - He could definitely use a psychologist figure on the sidelines* - By Ronti September 7, 2026 at 12:52:52 PM
- that's a sign of bad coaching* - By Daytripper September 7, 2026 at 12:31:22 PM
  - One would certainly think. Looking at uber-stoic Whitt on the sideline, it’s very hard to imagine that he had over-hyped the team in any way, though*** - By Craig September 7, 2026 at 12:42:40 PM
    - the bad coaching occurs everyday prior to game day. it's not about being too low or too hyped it's about being ready. jim almost always had his kids ready* - By Daytripper September 7, 2026 at 12:46:22 PM
