Prime Rib or Beef Tenderloin?

Fisch over Drinkwad every day of the week!

Prime Rib, all day.

I’m guessing traction will pickup this coming weekend

I don't think Drink is/has been very impressive. If there's a courtship there, I think it will be short.

I strongly believe that.

With Warde under intense scrutiny and an interim president, who’s going to make the coaching hire? University governance is opaque at best, but particularly at UM right now.

If Dillingham is hired, will it be before or after December 31st?

In your opinion, do you Michigan could have Dillingham if we made a serious offer now?

Just a vibe check but I don’t think we will have to get to that scenario.

@ChrisBalas , does that interview yesterday by Dillingham make you believe he is probably staying out there? He never said he wasn't interested in the job. He did happen to like the fact that his sister and parents all live in the same neighborhood. Any word

How concerned should Michigan fans be about the internal investigation that could cause more damage?

Drink just rubs me the wrong way, and this goes beyond what he has said about Michigan

Care to say who, at THIS moment time, you think takes the job? A prediction, nothing more.

Has Key from Geargia Tech been mentioned at all? The guy can flat coach...

Now get home and help trim that new tree....we will all be back tonight for the latest news Chris! Not that much can happen on a Sunday afternoon, Go Blue, always!

Maybe the emotion is that he might be in a position to face a decision about a job he wont be able to pass up. He may want the job, but it still will be emotional. And if he doesnt get the chance he is still at a place he loves. You can read it both ways.

I know it’s unlikely, and I don’t take your comments to suggest otherwise … but IF Drink happens, I will pelt the athletic administration building with rotten produce the likes of which they’ve never seen and can’t possibly fathom

Drink would be tough to accept. Agree seems unlikely

Can we plug the 2016 video into the new NFL first down measuring system and see if JT was truly short?

Also, I also didn't like how Drinkwitz made such a big fuss over barely beating that Buckeye team in that Cotton Bowl game at the end of the 2023 season. Ohio State showed up without their quarterback and struggled. Probably hung over from the disappointment in Ann Arbor. I remember as I watched Drinkwitz gloating after that win thinking, "Coach, you weren't playing the real Ohio State." I'm not a fan of Drinkwitz. I do like drinking, however!

If you had to take your best guess right now and HAD to choose 1. Who does Michigan hire? @ChrisBalas

I think it's possible.
