Every team makes the conference tournament this year, so it's going to be Michigan's first appearance whether they want it or not.gymman1031 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 16, 2021 7:35 pmYep!

Re: Michigan 2021
That is good. That said, let's see if they can be one of the final four(in the past, it was only four) teams in that tournament.HopFan16 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 16, 2021 7:37 pmEvery team makes the conference tournament this year, so it's going to be Michigan's first appearance whether they want it or not.gymman1031 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 16, 2021 7:35 pmYep!

Re: Michigan 2021
Maryland was definitely predicted to win vs. Michigan. But, while I apologize for being too critical, how many of you predicted the wipe-out that happened today?
Re: Michigan 2021
With people like me continually saying how great to big four of the ACC are, Maryland made sure in their first outing that they belong in the conversation. Michigan was not in a position to go down 15 to 10 or so.

Conry is in Year #4 and has been recruiting very well. I think you need to give him some more time. Far from all the players are ones he recruited.

Re: Michigan 2021
What's your take on the game with Hopkins this Saturday...?
Re: Michigan 2021
This feels like almost a must win for both squads. Should be competitive
Re: Michigan 2021
Looks like Michigan will go 0-10 this year. Could this be it for Conry?

Re: Michigan 2021
If you are right, and they go 0-10, I would have to think they consider a change? No?
If so, didn’t they make a run at Petro a few years back? I listened to an interview with Petro recently and he made it very clear that he wants back in.

Re: Michigan 2021
They beat OSU in 2019 and PSU in 2018. With 10 chances (11 if you count the conference tourney) I feel like they'll catch another team napping once or twice. It's really hard to go winless.
Re: Michigan 2021
I doubt they go 0-10, but if they don’t get to at least 3-4 wins I think you can probably put him on the hot seat. You’d have expected by Year 4 that they’d be in a position to compete for the Big Ten and they’ve recruited very well. If they can only win 1-2 out of 10 games against B1G opponents that’s not progress from when he took over. And it’ll be Year 5 (or 4 without COVID) next year which is generally enough to make an accurate gauge.
Re: Michigan 2021
I can’t see them winning against any Big 10 teams.
The Petro rumors will start in late March. He will get his boys to de-commit at UNC and join dad for free in Ann Arbor.

Re: Michigan 2021
I agree. Admittedly, I thought they’d compete better with the talent like Zawada, Clay, Bucknavage, etc... And with Conry having a track record as a very good defensive coach - not sure where the disconnect is?jrn19 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 01, 2021 10:33 pmI doubt they go 0-10, but if they don’t get to at least 3-4 wins I think you can probably put him on the hot seat.

Re: Michigan 2021
Good coordinators don't always make the best head coaches. Often a different skill set. I don't know if that's what's happening here but it wouldn't be the first time a star coordinator didn't have a great transition into running a program himself.FlyEaglesFly wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 7:54 amI agree.

And until recently I think they've lacked talent on the defensive side of the ball (and on faceoffs). Schriber and Whitney are going to be nice players but they're both still young. Might be another year or two before the recruiting catches up with the results on defense.
I'd be shocked if they go 0-11. That is exceedingly difficult to do. The only teams you see come anywhere close to that these days are first-year programs and teams like NJIT which are clearly overmatched at the D1 level. Michigan does not fall into that category—they've been able to steal a few games each season from decent teams but that alone is obviously not what Wolverine fans are looking for.
Re: Michigan 2021
That’s was interesting about the lack of success.The defense has been an issue for years, and the HC is a former DC. Hopefully things can work out.

No doubt Rutgers is on-fire and looks better than most. But still, I was hoping the Wolverines could have played them a little closer.

Closer game with Ohio State than with previous conference opponents this season. But it still was a loss and not a super performance. Starting to worry that Michigan might go winless in conference this year.

They’re playing the long game in Ann Arbor...
Now I love those cowboys, I love their gold
Love my uncle, God rest his soul
Taught me good, Lord, taught me all I know
Taught me so well, that I grabbed that gold
I left his dead ass there by the side of the road, yeah

Re: Michigan 2021
Does anyone know if spectators will be allowed at Michigan-Penn State today?
