If you’re not following Bill, you’re doing yourself a major disservice. So many great data-driven tweets that make you a smarter college football fan. Bonus for Michigan fans — many of them are very relevant to your fandom.
If a Blue Blood program needed a head coach, who'd be worth the call?

A series of candidate profiles. No. 1: UCLA's Bob Chesney.
• UCLA: 3-9 → 9-0, defense #89 → #1 (EPA allowed)
• Holy Cross: five straight league titles
• JMU: 2025 Sun Belt title 🧵

The belief around the NFL is the #Vikings will attempt to trade for a QB today as another option to have for this season before the 4 pm ET deadline.

“They won’t sit still,” a source said. “They can’t.”

A lot of annoying byproducts of Michigan getting embarrassed over the weekend. But not getting to fully enjoy Ryan Day's downfall is right near the top.

I don't have to imagine it. Remarkably embarrassing. I don't think there's a thing I've written or said in the last 48 hours that hides from that fact.

MSU punked Michigan. Deserved the win. U-M should make major changes b/c it's an unacceptable result in an unacceptable season.
Man, imagine losing to a team who hasn’t made a bowl in 5 years and hasn’t won a conference game in nearly a year 🤒

My vote for the Heisman Trophy this year will go to Devon Dampier. He’s having a really good 2026. But the best indicator of his value is the fact that he made Jason Beck look like an offensive genius in 2024 and 2025.

In fact, give the guy a couple retroactive Heismans, too.

U-M fans shouldn't apologize for having expectations. Year 1 of a new coach or not, a 5-4 record is never OK, and it's fine to demand better. Let this spiral out of control and you could become a program that hasn't made a bowl in 5 years that celebrates a 3-6 season as progress.

Where's Biff? I'm not sure if he's even an offensive guy, but hire him back and give him the job.

Jason Beck is being replaced by the only other coach on staff whose performance has rivaled Beck’s in terms of disappointment.
Jim Harding is interim OC

I’m a guy that shares his opinion on the internet, so I’m going to have my fair share of misses over the years. But this is going to be a near-impossibly tough one to beat in terms of being so outrageously wrong, and having that proven as quickly as this one was.

I said last night in my post-game video this needed to happen within the next 24 hours. There’s a long way to go to get this thing back on track. But this was the no-brainer first step.

There were a lot of candidates for "worst moment of the season" heading into tonight. I appreciate the Michigan football team doing everyone a solid and giving us all a lot of clarity on that front.

Michigan State forced five turnovers in the first two months of the season. Michigan has turned the ball over four times tonight in the 19:19 it has possessed the ball.
