Michigan Thursday: Getting Late Early

That is how I feel about this Big 10 season, Michigan Football, Jim Harbaugh, and Don Brown.   The fans, the coaches, and Big 10 parents pushed Big 10 football back on the field.   What did we get for all of that?

• Wisconsin cancelling 2 games and maybe a 3rd on the way?  How do you prepare for Michigan with nearly 30 players and staff not being able to practice or even in a limited manner?

• Purdue maybe moon walking into the Big Ten Championship to face Ohio State who continues to be an NFL expansion team. 

• Both Penn State and Michigan reeling with loses and best players opting out.  You can add Minnesota to that list if you like.  

• Nebraska getting shut down on playing an FCS school 

• Big Ten put OSU on the easiest road to the CFP's I've ever seen. 

Now to Michigan: 

• Definition of Insanity = Don Brown's Defense 
• I've always been a strong supporter of Harbaugh, that support took a major blow last weekend
• I've never seen a program do less with more then the Michigan Football program in the last 6+ years
• What the hell is going on with Bob Shoop and his zone defense?  I know we don't have any details, but damn this couldn't have happened at a worse time.  
• Who should be fired for the CB recruiting?  Someone should 
• There have been whispers that Jimmy's is not a guy that gets his players going with a pre-game speech.   Neither was John Beilein, find an assistant or a player do it.  Michigan was clearly not "up" for the MSU game last weekend and the no fans in the Big House almost was a disadvantage for the Wolverines. 
• How about that for another 2020 thing:  The Big Ten road teams have the advantage in an empty stadium this season.  Out of 6 Big Ten games last weekend, 5 road teams won.  

• Shea Patterson and De'veon Smith was on FS1 last night in the Spring League. 

• Ryan Glasgow got signed to the Patriots practice squad

• The MAC was back last night 

• How is Michigan -3.5 Saturday?  I know IU hasn't won in 32 years, but hell they should be favored.  Wait, I forgot for a second that Big Ten road teams have the advantage!
