I'm pretty frustrated with Beck, who I think wasted a lot of time trying to install too much too fast with a team that's not built for it. I'm not sure how frustrated I am with Whitt yet, but he has to right the ship mid-season; I think the portal claims a lotta bodies if this is how it is in DEC.

A) F- on the illusion here B) Always get nervous when people manhandle the jug. It might legit be 100 years old. Someone's gonna break it someday. Which would be sad and also release the djinn

Lindsey looked pretty positive last year, to me, just handcuffed by a dumbfuck who wouldn't let him open up the QB run game. I have no idea why you wouldn't have tried for continuity there.

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Jason Beck is such a huge step back from Chip Lindsey.

000

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Embarassing loss that was a step back from basically every single fucking group.

110

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

It doesn't negate the int, it negates the 12 men penalty Joel. This has been an embarassingly bad broadcast man. Wow.

011

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Yeah sure of course he's hurt. FUCK.

010

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

You can see him go "I should step up into the pocket instead of running" and there is no pocket at all

010

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Also it's really good that I have no idea what Michigan's base package is supposed to be. The OL has been awful but it's so clearly a structure/strategy issue more than a talent issue. Beck has no idea if he's a power or a stretch or a zone guy or what.

000

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

is it good when multiple OL are wandering around facing the wrong endzone 2 seconds into a play? Jim Harding has such a stellar reputation, yet someone's getting WHIPPED every play.

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Not sure what to do when Hiter has two butts in front of him and tries to stretch the play.

010

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

His OL is bamboozled, his TEs have no idea what they're doing, Bryce is caught in read-hell being asked to make pre-snap adjustments you shouldn't ask a young QB to make. This is irresponsible.

000

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

One series we run outside shit, then it's power inside, then it's read stuff, ope now it's quick passing rpos. It's like he flips to "playtype" in a Madden playbook and just calls 3 things from there.

110

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Jason Beck has a fun playbook but it is increasingly clear there isn't any structure to how he wants to play and the constant chopping and changing is going to break Bryce. This shit is unacceptable.

120

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Just not schematically acceptable to me when you've failed to execute that so consistently.

000

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Jesus christ the offensive line play here is just not acceptable. Just letting a set lineman have a free rush?!??!

100

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

We should teach our DE's to flail and fall down on those run plays. I've been told that's a hold.

000

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Bryce put that ball on Marsh in the first half when getting fucking creamed, but he let it get to him on this one and poof. Good feelings gone.

010

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Story of this game is QBs floating balls when getting pressured.

110

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Marsh being one of the most talented receivers we've ever had and also a guy whose brain stem disconnects every 3rd game is not an experience I enjoy.

000

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Like, they call a play fake there and they have time to set it up because they convinced the refs to give them an extra 45 seconds to go over it. That's just horseshit?

Sometimes you gotta kick your quarterback in the junk. For luck.

Why are we bringing the chains out and giving them a free TO for something that's a full yard short?

110

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

*In his best white midwestern dad voice* NEEDED THAT

010

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

There's just no excuse for not knowing how football works to the degree that these refs display. Defender's sitting on the route and wins it perfectly, why on earth are you giving the offense a first down for losing the rep that badly. It's problematic.

010

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

What's that? Another dubious call to extend the drive of a michigan opponent? There's no DPI there. There's no control of the opponent at all. He's just there.

110

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Ohhh, that's a great play from Pierce, that was going to go for a little bit.

010

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Spectacular overall effort to put that one in.

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Not remotely close but also not sure why he even felt the need lol, he's looking right at the line.

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Feels nice to see us get an INT after having like 8 "should've been an INT" so far this year.

020

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Who told Gus that Bowles is doing "extremely well" and how can we ensure they're not making any critical decisions?

010

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Andrew your QB just got executed with a Sword, use your hands.

010

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

As an EPA believer, every bad call is swinging points.

010

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Big sideline catch where the DB gets his arm hauled down to break his connection. A DPI call where Klatt calls it terrible then has the balls to say it's somehow Whitt's fault. We got one call in the Western game and it's masking how unfathomably shit the refs have been this year.

020

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Why on earth does Kudzdal have free reign to return everything to the 18? What the fuck? Why are we doing this???

000

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Losing a game sucks but losing a game you shouldve won by probably 20 (and probably win by 14 most weeks) has plenty of silver linings. We were so much better on most plays as long as we didn't shoot ourselves in the foot.

030

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

At some point someone has to tell Marshall that those holds on tight ends are HIS goddamn fault for not cutting up field because we can't keep averaging 3 of them a game man.

000

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

A couple of lovely Iowa fans seeing a miracle win helped ease the pain but man... How many bailout calls, how many tipped passes? How many dpi that were just nocalled. And Michigan can't stop screwing themselves in a dozen ways.

100

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Finally back from the Michigan game and man... Gorgeous day, tons of great plays, Iowa needed so much absolute horseshit to go right for them and it all did. Should've been cruising to a 3 score win and just couldn't.

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

(we got a Maize section in the stripe out. I own dozens of pieces of Michigan gear, but I have avoided maize because, you know, it's the least flattering color possible? So we both got shiny new $20 meijer shirts made from a material crappy enough to scratch car paint.)

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

My father just casually mentioned to me that he was considering ironing his new t-shirt we got for the Michigan game. I repeat, this man intended to *IRON* a long-sleeved T-SHIRT for a FOOTBALL GAME.

Remember, the lesson we're teaching is don't strap your helmet!

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

That's not a facemask, even though it's 15x more abuse of the helmet than Mateer received last week.

110

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

You want to critique JJ for coming back on that run but uh... If he'd just gone down the ball would've been short. Kind of a no-win situation.

010

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Having to burn a TO because Link had his helmet knocked around by a knee to the head... even though it never came off. That ref is a wanker.

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

They're surviving on pass pro but mostly because Utep is kind of fine with that

010

Halbridious @halbridious.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

They're putting the offensive in offensive line every single fucking run play. You couldn't deliver defenders to the football better if you were trying.
