what you learn when you watch college hockey is to never complain about the quality of NHL refereeing ever again

Obviously it remains to be seen how the rest of the season goes but it’s not hard to see a scenario where Whittingham’s regime enters a death spiral in November and forces a coaching change

"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.

I’ve said this a couple of times but in the era of the portal, things can go off the rails very quickly. We already know about some ~discontentment~ inside the program from the Zack Marshall situation. Portal exodus is a huge concern with the way the season has gone

Lotta stuff will be discussed about that one but shouldn’t be forgotten that it was a very encouraging defensive performance relative to the rest of the season

Love 27/45 for 2 TD, 1 INT, 6.4 Y/A 3.2 YPC with Jacobs back in the run game for GB Big improvements over what we’ve seen so far

Is the QB sneak not in the playbook?

I get that FG keeps it one score vs two score but 4th & 5 is a little far for me when you are inside the 15 and can’t use a deep route to back the safeties off

It’s a little frustrating for the Lions offense but it definitely benefits the Lions when the refs decide to go with the “no DPI/defensive holding/illegal contact flags today” approach

Lions really don’t need to keep running the ball. Goff is 16/20 for 248, until GB shows they can stop that, just let him throw out of the gun

When Michigan takes the field next week at Rutgers, it will have been more than a month since the offense scored a touchdown on a possession that was not started by a defensive turnover (4th quarter, Iowa, Sept. 26).

i think the most disappointing part about this Michigan season is if Michigan just keeps Chip Lindsey, they're 7-0 right now and a virtual lock for the CFP, even with the QB limitations

you don't need Ben Johnson or Kyle Shanahan or Sean McVay to fix this, just someone who is not actively destroying the offense each week
