I’m not all that mad today 🤷🏻‍♂️

Michigan’s worst team since 2020 beat them in Columbus. Good program sign

They earned it, beating the 2 teams I thought were the best (Oregon & Texas)

The B1G 4th place team just won the national title. Good for B1G teams of the future

Go Blue! SMASH!!!

I will write up a recap this weekend, I'm going to enjoy the evening with the family. Thanks again for another fun season. Still amazing that I get to spend so much time on something I love. Thanks @pcallihan and @umgoblog.bsky.social! Keep up the good work, and SMASH! #GoBlue

A lot of room to grow, but Michigan proved the foundation of the program is still very strong. Another win led by the defense. Wink deserves a lot of credit, but how about Esposito, Morgan, and Jean-Mary the assistants?!? They’ve come together nicely as a staff @UMGoBlog @pcallihan #GoBlue

What a perfect finish to 2024! It was ugly and beautiful at the same time. There were shades of the past, and a lot of shine from the future. A perfect springboard into the 2025 season @UMGoBlog @pcallihan #GoBlue Here are the metrics...🧵

OK Defense: Go win the game! #GoBlue

Go BLUE! I am pretty 🤬 fired up for 2025 because of what we've seen in this game. Gotta rewatch for details, but the OL is holding their own against a pretty good Bama DL. And this defense is not gonna drop off much at all next season. #GoBlue

Just what the doctor ordered on that last drive. I love how Jordan Marshall accelerates betwen the tackles. This kid is going to be really good for this offense #GoBlue

1) Need to find a punter in the portal it looks like. I was hard on Tommy Doman this season, but he was clearly best on the roster.

2) Need another big play from the D to help flip he field and set the offense up. Orji can run the offense but can't get 15 yard penalties #GoBlue

🤣

Need a bit more time to cool off from the last defensive series. Bama is now selling out in the box to stop the run, Casula & Davis Warren will have to find a way to grab a couple big chunks through the air to keep the safeties honest #GoBlue

Dream start was maintained on both sides, all the way until Sherrone took timeout before the 3rd down play with Bama backed up. That was a mistake. Hope coach puts that one in the long term memory. #GoBlue Here are the metrics...🧵

Casula filling in as OC has done good work. There is balance, and the OL is playing a couple notches better than I expected too. Defense has our eyes twinkling, but the foundations for next year's offense are also encouraging so far. #GoBlue

More turnovers than yards for the Tide

I was excited about the 2025 defense before the start of this game...now I am hopping around the living room like we're ready to kickoff 8/30 right NOW! #GoBlue

Same narrative now from 11/30 in Columbus. Just need the offense to move the sticks 1-2 times every series and cover your punts well. The defense has shown they can carry the load. Probably need 1 more offensive touchdown at some point. #GoBlue
