Paul trashed Milroe all last year. Never admitted he was wrong. Now he sees him as a Heisman finalist? Dude is the Skip of college football. Kicks people while they’re down until the getting is good to ride their coat tales.
he wasnt far off last yr...and he way off this yr
@@samariohoward6298 your opinion has nothing to do with Paul’s, and the fact he switched his take on Milroe like he wasn’t trashing him.
But that was last year. Him evolving and the team around him and the schedule can make things different. Its a new season so its time to give everybody a new chance to make predictions. @iraxks0341
I mean he really wasn’t that good till towards the end of the season, He had a chance this year.
@@universe-ie2mk week 6 of last season he trashed Milroe, Bama, and Saban, saying the season was a wash. Week 12 he was calling him a Heisman contender, and calling for Bama to win it all. And as I recall throughout none of that did he ever say he was wrong.
Dont defend Paul. He gives hot takes until he sees a wave to ride and takes no accountability. It’s why Kiffin called him out at media days. It’s a known thing he does and it’s toxic to sports TV culture.
This fall Michigan football will be business as usual- and business is booming!
Lol
I’ll be back after the Texas game.
Double digit underdogs lol, love to see it. Keep putting more chips on the shoulders of this team!
Georgia vs Clemson is always a tough game no matter what the point spread is. Georgia can’t afford to overlook them just because some media folks think it’ll be an easy win. You can really tell when ppl DON’T watch the games smh
Clemson isn't the beast it was before the corona quarantine dust settled. But theyre still a tough program. But casual media lost a ton of respect for them getting smacked down by Duke week 1 last year. But I remember them playing the Dawgs hard the year before like a 10-3 game
@@voiceofreason2674 That UGA/Clemson game was 2 years prior to last year but yeah I agree.
Garrett Riley had to teach not only the offense his playbook but also the coaching staff year 2 should be alot better and the defense is going to be nasty
Georgia by 21
They are not that dominant stop it@@user-ux3id9us9i
That anyone takes Paul seriously is insane.
Michigan has several players that are considered either the best, or top 5 at their position but they're supposed to drop off this year? The math aint mathing
This is why your not a Vegas oddsmaker
@@SatansShartur not either
@@SatansShart but you are? Imagine thinking preseason odds mean anything...
@LuckyLefty92 Clearly preseason odds & o/u’s mean enough for you to comment about the “math” lol. US Americans lost $36 billion to sports betting last year. Professional odds makers don’t make their money wearing maize n blue glasses
@Scott-px6mi Nope, not an odds maker, but also not the one taking issue with the predictive “math” set by experts for my team this year
ESPN picks USC every year in the top 5 but then when Oregon beats them they act like USC was a D2 team.
Stop it usc don’t play Oregon every year
Michigan still have a Top 5 defense with the best DTs Duo with Mason & Grant & the Best corner in the country with Will Johnson & Top 5 O line. The question mark is QB if Orji pull a Cam Newton in Auburn they can definitely be in the mix of repeating. I mean Moore did coach 2 of the hardest games vs the F**keyes & penn state made great adjustments now he can do it his way. I love everyone keep putting michigan as the Underdog mantra. Thats when they play their hungry best.
I'm a buckeye fan and I agree they will have a great defense which will keep them in and win them games. Just not enough on offense to push them over.
You're a good buckeyes fan. I wouldn't name call like that Michigan fan. Eff-eyes? Man that's cringe @@rayserifi8683Michigan's offense will be suspect this year. They lost too much
@rayserifi8683 What wins championships?
@AustinRides7264 Just like your 3rd Based Coach & thinking Will Howard 5th year senior will bring it home. We always call yall the F***eyes or Suckeyes * yall field the Horses**t.
@ericrussell9746 what wins championships (historically and statistically) is atleast a top 10 offense and defense. Michigan will have one but will rank in the middle nationally in offense.
Michigan's defense is going to be even better than last year. Wink Martindale is gonna have that defense playing Fast & Furious, and they will lead the nation in turnovers created.
Blue has 3 D All-Americans - Graham, Grant, Johnson - and an O All-American that is the best TE in the country - Colston Loveland. Don't forget The Don. And don't be fooled - UM has a stout OL comprised of sometimes starters who were part of 2 of 3 Joe Moore Awards the last 3 seasons. The only qmark is QB.
@@BlairKrueger-ry3lk Jaishawn Barham was Freshman All-American, with Earnest Hausmann making Honorable Mention (alongside Will Johnson ironically). Aamir Hall was an FCS All-American, and there are more than a few All-Conference performers on this year's defense.
@@gridirongodsNetwork Well said, gg. Barham was the only LB to pick JJ last year!
I still feel like the Big Ten gonna run though UM & OSU. These new comers don’t know about the physical trench war the Big Ten goes through. They are the AFC North of college football
Oregon will drop 50 on Michigan, and TOSU.
BigTen the most overrated power conference. When I hear folks compared the slow poke conference up north to the NFL makes me want to puke 🤮
@@Field_Marshallthey lack overall athleticism in skilled positions only compared to the SEC but a lotta NFL big boys come from the Big10. It’ll be an adjustment for everyone. West coast teams will have to get more physical/learn to win consistently in cold weather & the midwest teams will have to get more athletic/defend the spread better.. good for everyone
@@AY-jy4xfMichigan just won the Natty!
@@AY-jy4xfYep, just like they did to Washington 😂😂
Paul never escapes a moment to cry about something Dabo says/does its so weird. Paul acting like Dabo doesn't have the freedom of speech to criticize something about CFB...
Ppl who don't know Paul thinks he goes to bat for all SEC or Southern teams, but real ones know that Paul has been hating and hates on his own. The man hates half of the SEC , definitely LSU and Florida.
Man Ngl I get tired of hearing Dabo complain adapt and win stop making excuses
Hey genius, its not about freedom of speech. Its about adapting to the new college football, and Dabo seems extremely hesitant to do that.
@@litedawg that would be fine if that's what Paul was saying... Paul takes it way overboard taking shots at who Dabo is as a person. Basically he yells at Dabo for even speaking his mind about things. In what world is that acceptable behavior from Paul
@@BigSlim4 he's never made excuses he's just expressed his opinion which is a displeasure in the direction CFB is headed. A lot of ppl share his opinion btw. No need to get triggered over it
As someone from Georgia.. don’t give them bulletin board material, we don’t have the best luck over here😂 (UGA by 30)
tigers by 90
@@mr2x137 I’ll screenshot this for later for ya
@@coreydoyle5271 you don’t have too, I’ll be right back here after the game to make sure how you’re doing after taking an L
Big Joe is knowledgeable
When Michigan goes undefeated en route to a second consecutive National Championship, I expect ESPN to replace the Paul Finebaum Show with my 'gridiron gods Network.'
Why does everyone think that Texas will be so good? They have to replace all of their weapons offensively. They won't be nearly as good on offense this season as they were last season.
Bc they brought in really good WR's in the portal. One of the top o-lines in the country and solid to really good RB's.
@davidcuebas9878 I may be wrong, but I feel like they've lost too much.
Sarkisian is so overrated
They also lost their best defensive players. Michigan will wash them week 2
@@LuckyLefty92 and Michigan pretty much lost their whole offense. But, should still be good on defense.
Bro came in like Walk in beat the opps and leave 😭 I love it 😂
Michigan got a killer schedule
Michigan football winning back to back national championships 🏆🏆
Molly is gushing over Joe Fortenbaugh like he knows everything, but he will eat his words about Michigan. No way Michigan will lose to Texas, Oregon, and Oh-buy-O State! This clown even said, "Washington is going to be trouble for Michigan." 😆😂🤣
Remember rivalry games are push overs I would not taken Ohio state beating Michigan by 10
I see it’s still Michigan vs Everybody. Y’all still doubting us smh. And who is this guy with the mustache anyway.
The amount of trash that has been talked about Southern Cal, if Lsu doesn't absolutely handle business its gonna be a GIANT mark of shame. And Paul hates LSU, so he might be playing both sides here. Either he gets to keep riding the Lincoln Reily hate train or as a consolation he gets to come for us
Why would you even mention the opening odds for a game that will happen in November. In 2021 Ohio St. Opened as a 14.5 point favorite and lost by 15. All it shows is how many degenerates are moving the Vegas line.
The delusional il o fanbase destroys the Line every year - for the benefit of UM fans and true "Line" sharks. Keep it up, Sucks!
Every team thinks they are champions until the ship hits the fan !😮
I think Michigan upsets Texas week 2 due to match ups. Will look alot like Washington game . Texas lost both beast Dts Michigan will run it down their throat.
LSU !
Georgia will not run Clemson out of the building. Clemson has a tough defense.
"Molly always flirtin', that chick can't keep em' closed...to save her life, I swear."🤦🏾♂😂
Says someone she'd never flirt with 😂😂😂
@@Dupreehundo-rq3bq --->So now we have a captain-save-a-hoe folks, and it 's not even yo hoe😂🤣😂🤣 Bruh, get outta here; commenting with pros...you can't win🫥 If you save em', and they don't know you exist...you HAVE TO BE...simp of the neighborhood you live in, for real for real😬 Send somethin' else; stupid my way...ol' clown 😂ss! Over here savin' hoes; that aren't yours or know you exist...ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC🤦🏾♂
Don’t forget we’re National champions Go Blue!
That dude looks like a zesty big cat from barstool lol
Finebaum is such a front runner. Every yr he does his shtick talking a big game all season, is almost always totally wrong, and then immediately changes his tune after the fact. I can’t believe espn gives this hot take hack so much oxygen
Paul Finebum 😂😂😂😂😂
Clemson is keeping receipts
Remember when Georgia won their first natty and lost alot just like Michigan and they were being hyped up instead of downplayed the next year wjen the won another natty. Why cant Michigan do the same?
It’s our fault cause not enough of us apply pressure in the real world to these journalists on live tv!
I hope mich uni, give that new coach moore a fair shake. More than 3-5 seasons.
They hired him the second Harbaugh was out apparently they just waited a week because the university was required to do a job search so I think they will hold on to him for a while. Also i think sherrone moore will be an all time great at michigan with what he's been doing in recruiting and the job he's done maintaining the culture post harabugh. It's really impressive to me that he got 4 potential 1st round picks along with multiple other potential all americans to come back instead of transferring or going pro which says a lot about him as a coach.
did Molly just assume Joe knew nothing about ALL sports? what a joke. anyway
realistic Michigan fans should know that they’re not winning a championship in the next 2 years, Michigan and Washington cannot just “reload” in recruiting and in the portal like Alabama and Texas (now) can. sure Michigan may have a top 15 defense but what about offense? can’t just run the ball with your entire OL and Captains gone. the consistently top programs have stacked rosters and a coaching staff that has coordinators leaving as head coaches for other colleges. that currently is not Michigan. it Jim Harbaugh took 6 years to win it all. if he was here could he have won back to back? potentially throughout the recruiting process.
Top 15 defense ??? Michigan’s defense is top 3 lol
@@mattfletcher3062 Michigans entire O-line is not gone. They only lost a few O-linemen.
Joe is a joke lol. He a Michigan hater lol
@@donovanjohnson3947 Shhh Donovan. Don't let the Losers know that UM's entire OL room is comprised of sometimes starters and Joe Moore Award recipients.
Ydkb if u think michigans defense is anything worse than top 3. Best dline in the country, top 5 LB duo, best corner in the country, arguably best secondary when rod moore returns and even before that its a top 10 secondary that defense isnt giving up more than 10 ppg and the oline is full of guys who have gotten significant pt bc michigan rotates their oline all the time so edwards will dominate.
All the losses Michigan has but Washington hasn't lost the same?!?' 🤔. Who's the weirdo with the mustache. Get this guy outta here
Watch out for those cheating scandals that’s why He left Michigan because he was getting suspended and fined heavily. Fine those refs for missing calls and no replay especially when UGA and Bama play.
Why is Michigan the only blue blood school that gets disrespected for graduating players?.? Other programs its business as usual but Michigan oh no the wheels are falling off. Can’t take these people seriously
They go look dumb when Michigan win back to back national championships 🏆🏆
When has it ever mattered that Ohio state is favorites to beat Michigan? Ohio state has always been favorites in that matchup
Whoever the stash is, has had TERRIBLE takes since he popped up 😂
10-2 Michigan. Ls to Ohio St and Texas. They’ll beat Oregon because Oregon defense is not good during big games.
😂😂 they will beat Texas as well, if any loss will be to Ohio State and that’s a big if. People clearly don’t know college football.💯
@@livinlife3888 even if they lose to Texas. 10-2 is good enough for playoffs
@@livinlife3888 People really dont understand how good michigan will be if they have a decent qb. If their qb can just be 2021 cade mcnamara they might go undefeated. Edwards will have 1500+ all purpose yards loveland will be the best tight end in the country and that defense isnt giving up more than 10 ppg. As long as the qb protects the ball and can have 65% completion on 20 attempts per game michigan will go 11-1 at worst because they will be able to control the game and physically dominate their opponents. There are at most 3 teams in the country who can match up with michigan at the LOS.
@@XMANOPIUM the freshman RB Marshall is going to get a lot of snaps this year. You can’t let a talented player like that sit for a year.💯
@@livinlife3888 he's gonna be a stud I think he'll be our rb3 behind edwards and mullings I see 1500 yards for edwards, 700 yards for mullings and 300 yards for marshall
these 🥷🏽 praying on our Downfall! Go tigers🐅
ALL You guys are crazy. You just go with Vegas lines anybody can do your job. Yeah I’m a Michigan fan and I’m disappointed in your homer talk…
Boo and ugh!
Finebaum is a biased sports columnist/reporter who slams coaches and programs for fun. He poisons the minds of sports fans when it comes to untrue claims. He’s notorious for creating bad content.
Finbum is horrible, get him off tv
Shut up Molly. You make Medusa look beautiful
Ohio state is soft, Texas, USC, Oregon all at home where we havent lost since covid. Good luck with that
You're losing week 2 AT home to Texas.
Michigan football winning back to back national championships 🏆🏆💯
@@ThatTexasDudeMichigan most definitely beating Texas 💯💯💯. Michigan are gods at home never go lose at home
Why would he have an excuse? He was handed a cheating team and they won him an natty along with Connor stallions. And he just signed a contract so he could be fired and never coach again. He’s chillin lmao
DUDE SHUT UP
Ah, the scent of copium is thick in here.
I guess someone is on their period (again). Year after year, lil o is nothing but excuses!
