They are showing some Saquan Barkley film on ESPN U for Heisman stuff and his workouts...... :ohno:

As much as I hate Penn State and that dumbass Franklin, I don't think I've ever been so impressed with a player from a hated team. Kid needs to have a bad game this Saturday and our LBs better learn some damn pass coverage pronto.

I beg to differ with you. Franklin may be a scum bag, rat turd, or a douche, but he is not a dumbass. He may be the second or first best coach in the Big Ten - Saturday will have a great deal to say about that order. But he's a far better coach than Hairball and no worse than the equal of Dantonio; he might even be as good as, or better than Urban.

Ahh...no.

He can be better than all the rest but until he cashes in a national title, he's not in the same discussion as UFM...

I want to make a couple of comments on the PSU-scUM game:

1. In the 4th quarter, Penn State pulled their starters on both offense and defense, while Michigan left theirs in. Penn State still gashed Michigan on both sides of the ball. Simply put, Michigan quit down the stretch. I wonder if this will become a theme under Harbaugh, as it did in San Francisco where the players lost all respect for Harbaugh and his Rainman antics.

2. Mike McCray is hot garbage. Absolutely awful. Urban might've missed on some Ohio kids early (Charlton, Gedeon, Butt), but I'm thrilled that McCray turned traitor and headed up north. #karma

3. Chase Winovich is another one who deserved a four-year sentence in scumland. The cheap shot that he delivered to Trace McSorely (three steps after release, drilled McSorely in the back with the crown if his helmet) was ejection-worthy and a perfect example of what scUM is all about.

4. scUM fan is already in "wait until next year" mode. Good luck with that. The talent is getting worse, not better. Harbaugh brought in a ton of 3-star recruits in 2016 and 2017, but quantity over quality is never a sound recruiting strategy. scUM's 2018 class is "meh" at best, and they are not going to be major players for any top prospects going forward. Their 2019 class is off to a good start, but a lot can change in the next fifteen months (including Harbaugh taking his talents to the Cleveland Browns). Meanwhile, Ohio State and Penn State continue to recruit at a very high level, Wisconsin always manages to find kids who perfectly fits their system, Michigan State always does more with less, so expect to see Michigan as an afterthought in the Big Ten for a few more seasons.

If I were a SCUM fan I'd be pretty worried. No way you should be getting curb stomped by a Penn State team barely off severe sanctions. SCUM fans are acting like Hoke left the cupboard bare but I remember him leaving several Top 10 classes for Harbaugh to work with. Combine that with the Top 10 class Harbs pulled in last year and there's no way you should look like a damn MAC team to Penn State.

Michigan is "talented" every year. And, miraculously, they are "young" every year. Yet somehow, with all that talent coached by the best coach in football, they have not made it to the CCG a single time.

Programs that recruit the way Michigan allegedly does should never, ever use youth as an excuse as often as they do. It almost seems like their talent is either way overrated or being measured by a methodology that doesn't quite hold up on the field. How is it that numerous freshmen and sophomores are making an impact in the Big Ten, but Michigan's loaded recruiting classes ("McDoom is the sickest!") yield that putrid passing game?

Doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but I'm too awestruck by the Jumpman logo to think about such things.
