Thank you Jean. 👍👍 Now I hope the NCAA will understand that the players were the ones who did the supermajority of the work throughout the season and will allow Michigan to keep the title. Even if you take the rings and bonuses away from the coaching staff as punishment since they were aware of what Conor Stalions was doing that’s fine. The Harbaugh family is spoiled enough. Just allow the players to be at peace knowing they themselves did it by the book with their skillset, effort, and improvisation throughout the year.

The game plan defensively from Michigan was well thought out and executed at a very high clip. I felt that bama was out coached for most of the game, In particularly in the first half. Everyone on that field gave it everything they had. It was a game you didn’t want to end. Michigan made the plays when it mattered and dominated the line of scrimmage for a good part of the game. I am of course disappointed, but really enjoyed every minute of the game. NO excuses, Michigan was the better team and deserved to win. I tip my cap to you guys.
