Michigan has to at least make Fickell say no, right?

Quote from: MU82 on Today at 01:23:56 PMOK, cool. IMHO we won't finish last. The Big East has a lot of bad to mediocre teams this season. We will beat our share of them.

Sure, even if this is good modeling odds still more likely than not we don't. But it is in the realm of possibility in a way it hasn't been for a very long time. Shaka doing his best its fine dog meme impression doesn't install a ton of confidence that he has any thoughts in how to rectify the situation. At least wojo told the guys to "play harder".

Deboer to Michigan and Kiffin to Bama for mass chaos?

Too bad Franklin took a job. 

Brent Venables?

Quote from: Dish on Today at 03:52:50 PMLane Kiffin to Michigan.

Only if Brad Stevens says no.

Seriously, though, it's got to be Jesse Minter, right?
Edit: Forgot Minter has a show-cause against him, though that expires in April.

17. Marquette Golden Eagles
Previous ranking: 17
What happens at the point guard position? All-American Tyler Kolek is off to the NBA, and backup point guard Sean Jones is still recovering from a torn ACL suffered last January. Shaka Smart could opt to move Kam Jones to the point guard spot; he's a big-time scorer and shooter, but he has shown playmaking ability. Stevie Mitchell could also handle the ball more often.
Projected starting lineup
Kam Jones (17.2 PPG)
Stevie Mitchell (8.8 PPG)
Chase Ross (6.1 PPG)
David Joplin (10.8 PPG)
Ben Gold (5.0 PPG)

This is where ESPN had MarquetteSeptember 2024
Replace irreplaceable Kam with Nigel.
Replace Awesome Stevie with Adrien.
Replace Super Jop with Royce.
Zaide and others off the bench.
Let the chips fall where they may this year.
Add Sheek others and Transfers next year.
Let the chips fall where they may.

Lane Kiffin to Michigan.

Wojo always gets his man.

Quote from: Billy Hoyle on Today at 03:46:30 PMSherone Moore fired at Michigan. Interesting timing...

Got to be something to this beyond on-field performance. Given that he was forced to play a totally unprepared true freshman QB, 9-3 with no bad losses is a pretty good outcome.

Update ... there's more to the story.

Quote from: Biggie Clausen on December 09, 2025, 09:57:33 PMTrue, although Henry and Joey already had brothers in the program at Marquette, so I'd argue they were special cases.  Then again, I forgot that Greg Elliott - at least according to some Scoopers - was Izzo's top target in that year's recruiting class, and possibly - again, according to some Scoopers at that time -  the most coveted recruit of Izzo's entire career.  That's just how it was in the Wojo era.
