Want to know how important this game is? Just look at the Network covering it. FS1 will tell you all about this game before it even kicks off. Ducks started the year in the top 5 but stumbled, got back up and won some good games. Michigan started in the top 20 and has played like a drunk sailor the entire year on offense. Oregon went into Columbus last week and gave the Buckeyes their last rights, lets hope they do the same to Coach Whittingham this weekend.
Dear Michigan Fan Base,
Yes, clearly Coach Whitt doesn't read this blog or do much of anything actually. So I'm done writing to him. He clearly doesn't want to understand Michigan Tradition or anything else related to Big Ten Football, in fact I'm not sure he understands he lives in Ann Arbor now and not in Utah.
The Ducks have talent as they have unlimited NIL funds from Grandpa Phil Knight, the word on the street is the University was struggling all up and had to close dorms, etc. Then the Nike man sent over a $1B check. Kick save and a beauty!
The Ducks lost their Michigan 5-star QB to a concussion early in the Big Ten season and he is done for the year (rightfully so, that was a dirty hit). Then they were able to go to former Nebraska 5 star QB Dylan Raiola who flamed out there but has been waiting for his turn in Eugene. He started well, played terrible, got benched, went back in and did a nice job. So basically he is still Dylan Raiola.
Michigan has one shot of winning this game and its on defense. They have to pick Dylan off like 3 times and return two of them for TD's if Michigan is going to stay in the game and maybe win it.
I have zero faith that the OC change will do any good, its too late in the season and should've been done like 4-6 weeks ago. The other 5-star QB from Michigan will either be watching or taking a few snaps for the Wolverines. I'm now leaning he probably should finish the year under center, as the off season is setting up to be a disaster if a quick move is not made with the current head coach.
I guess Oregon has an outside shot still at the playoffs but don't know how the committee would justify the Illinois loss. They are playing better and on an upswing. They also have injuries and have played very inconsistent this year. If we get the inconsistent Ducks and Dylan starts throwing the ball to the white jerseys, Michigan has a chance.
The Michigan Defense is all we got left.
Oregon 17 Michigan 3

I think Warde got played again. Whitt took the money and is ready to run. He got a $13M retirement package from Utah, and Warde said hold me beer...and now the school will probably give him a $25M buyout. Which begs the question, in 2026 are these large coaching buyouts even worth it anymore. I mean if the players aren't held to committing more than one year at a time, why hold the coaches? just one big happy merry go-round. I'm being disingenuous, but its where I am with college football. its just a shit show and Michigan is in the lead car!
All I know is that I will use all my developing dark powers (including Voodoo and witchcraft) to have the giant turkey in the Macy's parade wearing a T-shirt that says "Hi I am Warde AD for University of Michigan". With a big "L" tattooed of the turkey's forehead .... I want the world to know the POS we have as Athelic director.
