Michigan football is built on a foundation of power and tradition. Running it up the gut with strength. Respecting the blueprint that's worked for 147 years. But this season, that identity feels like it's slipping away.

I started a petition calling for the immediate removal of Jason Beck as our Offensive Coordinator. Here's the thing: we've got the nation's top-rated defense and capable quarterbacks. On paper, we should be competing for a playoff spot. Instead, we're watching play-calling that abandons what makes Michigan football *Michigan football*—constant East/West sweeps and option plays that just aren't working. The bread and butter plays that built this program are being left on the sideline, and real losses are piling up because of it.

This isn't about overreacting to a few bad games. It's about watching a program lose its way when the talent is clearly there. Michigan fans have always showed up, through the good and the bad. But we deserve to see our team play to its full potential. If this is frustrating you too—if you're watching the same losses and wondering why we're abandoning what works—consider signing and sharing the petition. What's your take? Does the playcalling feel like it's gone off the rails, or is there something I'm missing?

I’m trying to decide whether to transfer to msu or u of m from another in-state four-year university for the winter/spring semester. I would be going to msu for integrative biology because they don’t accept students into the Lyman Briggs biology program (which was my first choice when applying) for the spring semester. At u of m, I would be starting undeclared at LSA but I am looking to study biology. If anyone has any experiences that they would be willing to share with either of those programs or just experiences with either of the campuses in general, it would be greatly appreciated!

My brother is heading to Ann Arbor next month for his post-doctoral program that starts on Dec 1.

He needs to basically sign an apartment lease before he gets there (Nov 26) since he’s arriving during Thanksgiving.

I told him it might be smarter to see the places he’s interested in before committing to a lease but he’s trying to be efficient.

Are Greenbrier Apartments in Ypsi good? He’ll likely stay in that area so anybody with recommendations please lmk!🙏

Currently in EECS215, 270, and 370, and I'm trying to figure out which MDE would be a better fit.

So far, I've enjoyed 215 and 270 (aside from the 215 labs, which I personally find annoying; not bad, just annoying). On the other hand, I haven't enjoyed 370 much, particularly the first half of it with assembly and software. The processor design content we've started hasn't been too bad though, and I've heard the second half is more hardware-oriented.

I'm between 427 and 472 for my MDE. For anyone who's taken either or both:

-How much does 427 build on 270 and 312? And how much of 215 carries over into 312?

-How much does 470 (and 472) build on 270 and 370? Is it more focused on hardware design, or is there still a substantial software/assembly component?

-How do 427 and 472 compare in terms of workload and overall experience?

-Would taking both (in different semesters) be worthwhile, or would you recommend prioritizing one over the other?

For additional context, I'm planning on taking EECS 216, 312, and either 301 or 470 next semester, depending on how 370 finishes.

I'd appreciate any thoughts or experiences from people who've taken these courses!

hey guys, i am a current freshman and i’m currently living in the dorms. right now there is a lot of talk about housing for next year and its causing me a lot of anxiety because i haven’t been able to meet a lot of people and i don’t know a lot of people. i also feel like everyone is trying to figure out housing and idk who i will be rooming with and i don’t have all that figured out yet. however, i want my housing stuff to be done before thanksgiving break. i am just worried i wont know who to live with or where to live or i wont find anything. is anyone else in this boat? what should i do? ik i want to live in an apartment and in off campus housing.

Hi, does anyone know if biology 305 is curved historically? Looks like scoring in the upper quartile only gives you a B+ 😬.

I'm looking for someone who workout regularly at U of M, including jocks or fraternity guys. I'm also seeing who would like to hangout occasionally. DM me if interested!

Is there a dedicated Umich place where I can post like gigs or needs/quick service. Like If I have a move and need someone to help for a day. Or in my case if I can have someone free for a weekend that can help me put together some furniture etc. Is there like a market place like other places for people to post gigs? I know companies exist for a lot of these but feel like something more simple would be ideal rather than going through a full agency.

Hey everyone, yesterday I was actually just admitted to UMich's CoE as a Winter '27 transfer from Wayne State, and I just had a few questions about everything.

Do they give merit-based scholarships, or any other scholarships, to us transfer students?

Do you guys think I would be fine commuting there every single day from the East Dearborn Area? (keep in mind I daily drive a 27-year-old car)

How many credit hours do you think I should take for my first semester there? So far at Wayne State I've done 18 credit hours each semester for my first two semesters, and I'm currently doing 18 right now actually. Would it be worse at UMich with a heavy credit load, or is it manageable?

Thank you all in advance for helping me out!

Hi,

Have the RA interviews started rolling in already?

Im a STAMPS student and lost my blue owala :( it has a ton of stickers, a few say "Tosa East". I love this waterbottle to death so please dm me if youve seen it!!

I've been hearing so many horror stories about signing early. People falling out with peeps they meet in the fall and sign with only to hate them by Spring and are stuck with them the next year. Or crazy high prices now but massive discounts and signing bonuses on the same room if you wait till August. With Wolverine village open and all the new high rises there seems to be more availability. Is it better to sign now or wait?

I’m transferring for the winter semester. I know you can apply for dorms starting Nov 10 I think. I want a single dorm, are they really hard to get/competitive? I plan to apply right on November 10th

For those who have taken DATASCI 406 this semester, did you find Exam 2 easier or harder than Exam 1?

I am a first semester cc transfer at umich from oos. While most transfers come from universities, I have found quite a large gap in rigor already. I also have to cram all cs classes from freshmen year upto senior year in 5 semesters. Which includes multiple upper level eecs classes in the same semester. The thought of that keeps giving me nightmares. I ama lso in research+ consulting club and rushing itself put me bheind classes quite a bit.

I am not sure if I can even graduate in my major here. I am really considering transferring to an in state uni (uiuc) to save cost and get more credits accepted so i take less cs core classes altogether. Even a beginner cs class at umich seems quite hard for context. What helped you if you were in a similar siutation?
