OT: MIchigan Sports Thread: UM wins Natty Championship

[Axel Sandy Pelikan]

It would absolutely be incredible to win both the first and last games of the season. And cherry on top if KC makes it and the lions win. In that case, the nfl would be bookended in 2024 by the Lions beating the Chiefs

The flipside, which wouldn't surprise me, would be watching Green Bay win the NFC Championship in Detroit.

I'm not convinced Green Bay would have beaten San Francisco. But that game should have gone into OT at the very least.

The only thing that has come close to the past two Lions crowds are some of the Pistons crowds in 2002-04. Outside of that I'd have to go back the game Barry Sanders surpassed 2000 yards and the Lions clinched the playoffs in week 17. Also known as the game were refs asked the fans to be quiet.

I sense it's coming to an end next weekend. But the Lions have surpassed my expectations

Im really like Lions slogan, All Grit. And all the talk about the team culture. Same stuff Yzerman trying to pull, right character and the culture.

Go Lions! All the way.

Hutch the best player in football the last 4-5 weeks??

Ford field apparently the third loudest stadium ever recorded against tampa bay

 

[FabricDetails]

This is the correct response.

 

[MabusIncarnate]

The 10-31 Hornets playing the 4-39 Pistons tonight, if someone wants quality Detroit sports entertainment.

Looks like Harbaugh to the Chargers is a done deal. I Sherron Moore would be a slam dunk candidate to replace him?

Announce Sherrone Moore yesterday

Announce Sherrone Moore yesterday

I mean, he won a Big Ten championship already, and like 4-5 other games? I forget how many he coached already. He seems like a good choice. He/someone will have a completely new team next year, going to be some growing pains.

Apparently its law that the job has to be posted for 7 days before they can announce, thats probably all that theyre waiting on.

Moore is one of the best recruiters in the country, not sure theres a better candidate than him. Wont need full tear down for a new coach like if someone like Fickell came in

There is no way the hire is anyone other than Sherrone Moore. The only way that anyone is remotely okay with an outside hire is if they are such a slam dunk you can't pass them up.

A la 2002 Red Wings when they added Dominik Hasek where you already had a really good goalie, but the one you added was so much better nobody could complain. Or if we somehow added Connor McDavid tomorrow. He'd 100% be the 1C.

My dreams of securing Euro 24 were dashed today. I am a 2-time UEFA ticket lottery loser but if freed up finances. Now I'm going to NFC Championship. No way I can afford Super Bowl tickets so this is the pinnacle for me.

A nice little bit of positive press for GM allowing workers to watch the football game.

GM delays shift at Flint plant so workers can watch Detroit Lions in NFC championship game

GM will allow workers on its third shift Sunday to start late and work fewer hours so that they can watch the Lions NFC Championship game.

Anything to take eyes away from those autonomous vehicle issues.

San Jose is Lions country this weekend. The atmosphere is electric. Lions fans may have a shot at making Levi's neutral ground.

I read estimates had it at like 20% lions fans getting tickets, but then I started reading Delta had to open new flights and saw videos of all the planes full of people going and 20% seems low

The Tigers threw open the checkbook for that Keith kid.

Time for another trip to Cali, to raise some hell

Go Lions bay bay!!

 

[abparry87]

LFG Lions!

 

[odin1981]

Our O-line is dominating SF's front 7 on defense pretty noticeably so far this game.

 

[jaster]

LFG!!!!

 

[jaster]

I am not mad about these first 25 minutes. Please keep it up, Lions. I love you.

 

[Bench]

Lions punching them right in the face early and often. These boys are gonna do this.

 

[Ezekial]

If they blow this I will never forgive any of you.

My man, I am not predicting anything, I’m just super excited right now!
