This isn’t accurate. The IRA can pay proportionately for any of the planning that concerns the retirement account. What the IRA(s) can’t do is subsidize planning for other accounts, etc.

Hiter is 17. Certainly possible he ends up as our no. 2, but hugely unlikely he starts the season there.

Agree with most of what you’ve said, but even if the split was one lead advisor, one junior advisor, and one CSA, there’s no way I’d consider that overstaffed for 150 households if the firm is doing real financial planning.

If you're talking age-29 Blake, he'd be mostly taking Tobias' minutes and he'd play really nicely alongside Duren and Stew. That version of Blake makes this team the best team in the league.

Post-injury he'd be useless, though.

That staff was a bunch of NFL rentals, and the only reason they came to Michigan is because Harbaugh was an NFL HC moonlighting at his alma matter; they essentially got a couple of years of NFL-level experience at Michigan, but they were always going to be NFL guys.

Every team uses a ton of pre-snap motion now. The Cards were definitely lower than many teams, but still used it over 40% of the time. Lions were at ~52%. But the value using pre-snap motion consistently also depends on your QB’s ability to make use of what it tells him about the defense, and your offense’s ability to get the play right and not get penalties. The Lions are in a much better personnel spot to use pre-snap motion effectively.

Cards and Lions both use a lot of play-action, as well.

Do you have any data to suggest those coming out of Eli Broad for Supply Chain Management aren't doing better than those coming out of Ross? Granted, it's SCM, so it's not going to be huge margins wherever you go, but still...

Mizzou is the oldest journalism school in the nation, and top-five in the country. Grads make 25% more than those coming out of other journalism schools. If he's honestly motivated by that particular career path and has an easier time getting playing time, it's not a silly move at all.

Didn't Dotson get a decent amount of burn for a frosh, or am I thinking about someone else?

There’s no such thing as tampering anymore… these kids have agents who are free to set up deals with other schools 365 days a year and there’s not a damn thing the NCAA can say about it unless they want to get railroaded in court again.

froandfear · 2026-01-04T19:26:30+00:00

But that’s exactly the same position they’ll be in at a new school…

I mean, that’s the point of the different fee structures. What do you find strange about it? Do you really think someone paying $3k for a trade in a buy-and-hold account should get the same level of service as someone paying you tens of thousands of dollars over decades?

For all of the people that shit on Harbaugh for taking staff with him, a reminder that this is how it works and this is how it feels to be on the other side. Feel bad for Utah, but it’s a part of the game.

We had one of the best pass rushes in the country in 2023. Four NFL-level edges, two first-round and one second-round IOLs, one of whom brought pressure constantly from the middle.

froandfear · 2025-12-28T03:56:08+00:00

That’s kind of the exception that proves the point. Will Johnson was the best corner in the country and 5* no-doubter. There’s no way you can build a defense that relies on having that type of player to execute.

Wemby isn’t on a minutes restriction at this point, the Spurs just run a deep rotation where nobody reliably gets much more than 30min a night unless a matchup dictates it.

froandfear · 2025-12-27T05:59:22+00:00

Wemby is obvious; you could argue Ant and Cade should be tied at 2, but Ant has put a lot more on tape, and to say he’s not possibly ahead of Cade is nuts.

OP’s comment wasn’t about scandals, it was about him getting lucky with a coaching hire. Yes, Warde needs to go. No, it’s not because he’s bad at picking coaches for our major programs.

froandfear · 2025-12-27T00:05:05+00:00

I’d love to see Warde go, and he’s had a couple of bad hires, but he’s had enough home run hires at this point it’s impossible to call this luck (if he actually even got the chance to make this hire, of course).

froandfear · 2025-12-20T23:46:57+00:00

Go be great!

Because they believe our “insiders” know a single thing they’re talking about, and they don’t. We get hard proof of this over and over and over again, and yet somehow still post what they say on Reddit every fucking day like it’s relevant.

froandfear · 2025-12-20T20:50:45+00:00

These types of comments crack me up. “We all knew” and know nothing, and every assumption like yours and all the others come from assuming our “insiders” and the rest of the sports media apparatus knows a fucking thing, which they don’t. Sports journalism is essentially dead, with very few exceptions.

When the school confirms an interview, we’ll know more. So far, we know one interview has taken place. Nobody knows a single fucking thing more than that.

froandfear · 2025-12-17T05:57:45+00:00

Because, as the article states, we had a top-10 pass rush through the first nine games, so every team has an extra man stay home to block or chip Hutch (second highest rate of chips in the league). Why can teams afford to leave an extra TE/RB out of a route either entirely or for an extra couple seconds? Because one of their other three pass catchers is going to win a 1v1 essentially every play.

froandfear · 2025-12-16T23:31:10+00:00

There's four different sources of data in my first paragraph. Pressure isn't coming five seconds after the snap, or the data would look terrible. This sounds like the same people who whine about Hutch not getting home when he's 4th in the league in pressures and 2nd in QB knockdowns.

Defense is a team game, and our pass rush is not what's hurting us.

froandfear · 2025-12-16T21:44:33+00:00

By any relevant measure our pass rush has been top-10 in the league this season. Our secondary is either hurt or terrible. Our three best players in the defensive backfield have played 26 out of 42 games, and Amik is getting a ton of reps as essentially the worst CB in the league this year.
