      Of course bro, as painful as it is for me to watch we lost The Game 3 years in a row, I have to tip my hat to this Michigan team, they won fair and square. JJ’s ability is very underrated under the Harbaugh system, but I remember every big play he executed perfectly in that 8 minute drive, man it’s so close and I’m still butthurt 😂 but at the end of the day I love the sport and I appreciate these young men who make this sport so fun to watch.

    It amazes me how these really young kids are so freaking polished in the media now. I don't watch college football so I can't speak to his on field performance, but I now see why his draft stock went up. JJ probably has the best in person discussions and interview process. The NFL is hard for young QBs, but he at least seems to have the mentals in place to have a fighting chance to be good.
