However, Harbaugh’s window of opportunity to build Michigan Football

6 min readDec 12, 2020

Meyer, the former Ohio State Buckeyes head coach, is a three-time National Championship winner and currently serves as a college football analyst for FOX Sports and the Big Ten Network. Currently, he ranks fourth all-time in winning percentage for a college head coach and owns a .853 career mark that trails only Knute Rockne, Frank Leahy, and Doyt Perry.Meyer would be an uncontested upgrade over Harbaugh, as the latter failed to defeat the former during their four matchups dating back to the fall of 2014. He’s the only coach in college football besides Lane Kiffin that would have the audacity to make the leap from legend in Columbus, Ohio to cult-icon in Ann Arbor, Michigan.Beyond Resident Evil 8 is the knowledge that by owning one I would be one of the first. Amongst my friends, I would have bragging rights and this is one of the reasons why I pre-ordered the PlayStation 3 back in the day. For a 17-year-old me it would be a logical decision, but for a 31-year-old me with no Resident Evil on launch day it would prove to be an empty reason.

My set up as outlined above would be akin to taking the console back to watching a videotape on my current television. I wouldn’t do it as it would be an insult to the television and I will not insult the new PlayStation with standard settings. I want to ensure that I have a setup worthy of the mighty beast, one that would see this router of all things gaming smile.

’20: It’s pretty simple, you define app logic as unidirectional dataflow, then fake up pseudo-HTML components that mirror state, and a controller mounts fake-page deltas onto the browser surface.

The PlayStation 5 can wait for a little longer until I have a decent set-up, have cleared the classics from my library and the announcement of Resident Evil 8 has been made. Then I will pay attention.

On top of this, I have more games in my library than I could play in a year of furlough. Some of these are classics such as Metal Gear Solid 5. I have no idea why I have not played this but I need to before I upgrade. For those of you who will say that it is on PlayStation Now, I would say that I purchased the disc and intend to get my money’s worth.

I’m excited for everyone who will be getting a new console this week. The PlayStation 5 is the one that has caught my eye and for all those out there getting one, I tip my cap. One day I will make the leap but until I have the perfect infrastructure behind me, there is little point.

’00: See, that’s such a relief. People thought I was naive, but I always knew that, since the web was so open, people would find their voices there by writing and making things online. And then obviously they’d learn how the web really worked, and build their own systems and tools in order to empower themselves and their communities.

PlayStation 5 represents a huge leap forward in gaming and collaboration. It will be the visual spectacle that Avatar was for film. It is an achievement in engineering and collaboration. It is a console that I desire, yet know I am not worthy of just yet.Sony has confirmed that you do not need a 4k TV to use the PS5. Well, sure, I know that I don’t need clothes to leave the house, yet I would not walk outside naked. Some things in life are not needed but to experience things fully you need to have the correct infrastructure in mind.Whilst I am saying no today and making a truly adult decision, I am not saying no forever. The PlayStation 5 is an amazing piece of kit. I want to invest in the next incarnation of PS VR when it comes around. The combination of the two, alongside Resident Evil 8 and other exclusives such as the rumoured Metal Gear Solid remake will sway me.

I like to think of myself as someone who’s been decently critical of excessively concentrated power in the tech platforms. Back in 2010, to general derision and laughter, I wrote that tech platform monopolies might well be a growing problem, and I like to flatter myself in suggesting I was early in calling for an antitrust campaign to break up Facebook.
For over twenty years since laying claim to the 1997 National Championship, Wolverines Football fans in Ann Arbor continue to be disillusioned with the idea their university should be mentioned in the same breath as the Alabama’s, Clemson’s, and Ohio State’s of today’s college football landscape.
My television is from the early days of high definition. It has done remarkably well over the years and has proved to be great value for money but its time will soon be over. When it is I will upgrade to a 4K monitor and given the age of the television, it will most likely not be long before this happens.

But I have never really been on board with the idea that abolishing the private immunity of platforms is a good idea, or even very important for the goals that either the left or the right holds dear. It is, it seems to me, the wrong tree to bark at, a red herring, you choose the metaphor.On top of the extensive back-catalogue is the knowledge that my setup leaves a lot to be desired. My television is 14 years old. It displays in 1080i and cannot even reach 1080p.Since acquiring Harbaugh in 2014, and the eventual release of the details pertaining to his contract that includes escalators for National Championship victories, CFP semifinal appearances, and conference title bonuses, the Maize and Blue faithful have grown impatient year after year while waiting for the coach to propel their team to new heights. Instead, that contract and his tenure as a whole are becoming a topic of controversy due to underperformance in bowl games, conference play, and against rivals.
