    Dan Campbell going for a FG on a 4th down on the 2 yard line.  I never thought I would see it 

    I think it's the right call situationally. One of the biggest advantages of going for it there is the "even if you get stopped the other team takes the field inside the 5" and you lose that at end of half. It was the one of the three failed fourth down attempts Oregon had the first game against Washington that I disagree with going for it.

    Man Lamar is insane for that effort. Is that the longest pass to yourself in NFL history.  

    I can't remember ever seeing a play like that. Usually a pass to yourself is batted back in your face, not... That. It's too bad the drive died out right after, because that was amazing.

    also his username was basically his real name

    we have an entire generation of young people who don't know how to pick an internet alias because they never had to do it

    The difference between the "never tell anyone online your real name and never meet people from the Internet" generation and the Uber generation

    Plenty of reason think Michigan with Moore can have the same long tail of the Harbaugh era that Stanford did with David Shaw.

    But I’ll be interested to see if they extend him as much grace as they did Harbaugh. Its wild to think about now, but if not for Covid cancelling the 2020 Game, Harbaugh was, barring a minor miracle given how bad Michigan was that year, going to be fired after six (!!!!) fairly underwhelming seasons by the metrics that matter most to Michigan. With NIL and the portal, it’s never been harder to keep a good thing going, and Michigan’s schedule year in and year out is about to get a lot tougher with the West Coast schools coming in (2024 looks absolutely brutal by recent Michigan standards). They gonna stand by him if they drop back down to 10 wins, but not the wins that matter, for a few years?

    There's room for him to improve certain things. Michigan hasn't signed a top five class since 2017. At least part of that is likely tied into the constant uncertainty if Harbaugh would be headed back to the NFL or fired. 

    If he can move Michigan's average recruiting class from the 11-15 range to more like the 5-8 range, and keep a lot of what's gone well going well (development, finding overlooked or under ranked prospects, roster retention) I think there's a chance he might keep the program relatively rolling.

    But, of course, you never have any idea if a guy is going to work as a head coach until he does the job.

    I feel very strongly Moore earned the right to get this job this year, but it doesn't guarantee anything.
