Hate week is official. (Dont be fairweather)
We can sit here and bitch about coaches, players, youth of the team, the fans who will be attending (THE GAME), or those who have already made a decision to not show up. The truth is life does continue. This is a week in which anything can happen. I have watched Ohio play every week this year. When I compare Michigan to Ohio I dont look at just stats, scores, I observe how they react to adversity. Last week vs Illinois on the road they let off the gas and allowed Illinois to climb back into the game. I watch there defense allow over 400 yards today and last week. This team has lacked in the defensive department since the beginning of the year. There secondary is suspect and if attacked correctly it can be exposed.
Now i am not going to sit here and quit on the team, or sell my tickets because im pissed off at the staff, or players. I am going to go and support the team from beginning to end. Many of us will never know what it is like to be the players, and we will never feel what they feel after a defeat like today, but I can gurantee this week they will be alive and ready. I think we as fans owe it to watch the game and have faith that anything is possible and cheer on the team, rather it be from your couch, or in the stadium. Do your best to realize that these kids and the coaches will work hard to go out and win for the seniors and for Michigan. No matter how you feel remember that what you say on the web, or in public is usually recorded, or may be perceived as negative by the players, and recruits. So as you pass your judgement remember that these players can hear you and it does have an affect on them mentally no matter what anyone says. I think we as fans need to show as much support as we can this week as this team prepares for THE GAME.
GO BLUE!

Go Blue. Beat Ohio.

Hoping for the best, drinking for the worst. Planning to pregame with Mary Sue to make sure I'm super hammered and loud.
November 23rd, 2013 at 7:06 PM ^
Lol. You win.
November 23rd, 2013 at 7:44 PM ^
November 23rd, 2013 at 8:37 PM ^
I expect her to start binge drinking on Friday to prep for Ohio. Good luck!

disappointment this season. Also, it would solidify the present coaching staff for at least another year or two if not more. Beating OSU and ending their national championship hopes while ending their winning streak would bolster the fan base and Hoke and company.
Alas, this is but a dream. The disparity in talent level of coaching is too great. The Michigan kids are going into this game severly handicapped and we all should go out and support them regardless of the inevitable outcome.
November 23rd, 2013 at 7:52 PM ^
Offense problematic.
November 23rd, 2013 at 7:05 PM ^
Good luck, and fuck you guys. Best week of the year and rivalry in sports.
November 23rd, 2013 at 7:07 PM ^
Agreed - although I felt this a bit more during the Cooper and Bruce years (miss you guys xxxxoo!). Oh, and about the horse you rode in on?
November 23rd, 2013 at 7:14 PM ^
Michigan had a losing record vs. Earl Bruce.
The only OSU coach that our team has had a winning record against in the modern era is John Cooper unless you want to count the Luke Fickell transition year.
November 23rd, 2013 at 7:23 PM ^
His record was 5-4, with Bruce's players upsetting Michigan in Ann Arbor for the last game. But I don't recall saying we had a winning record against Bruce. Put another way, winning 4-5 of the last games would make this a better week for us in my mind.
November 23rd, 2013 at 7:29 PM ^
Fuck Earle Bruce!
November 23rd, 2013 at 7:09 PM ^
Double post. If not for rules of decorum and whatnot (and the fact that you're a higher grade of Buckeye fan), I'd add something about tu madre, etc. But I'm above that!
November 23rd, 2013 at 7:08 PM ^
Ah thanks. Fuck you, too! :-) Go Blue!
November 23rd, 2013 at 7:12 PM ^
November 23rd, 2013 at 9:50 PM ^
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OH MY GOD MAN.
November 23rd, 2013 at 7:12 PM ^
November 23rd, 2013 at 9:51 PM ^
New at the "Internet" I see?
November 23rd, 2013 at 7:40 PM ^
Our football coaches suck, but at least they don't cheat, and even if they did, our fans wouldn't fete them and raise them on their shoulders a year later. Lose or lose bad, NOT being a Buckeye or Buckeye fan will always be the greatest victory.
November 23rd, 2013 at 7:54 PM ^
November 23rd, 2013 at 7:58 PM ^
This actually makes losing seem preferable!
November 24th, 2013 at 12:59 AM ^
November 23rd, 2013 at 9:12 PM ^
Fuck you too, and kindly, my good sir.
November 23rd, 2013 at 7:05 PM ^
Imagine the devastated OSU fans if Michigan somehow pulls this off next week. There's a reason they play the games, so let's be good fans and support our team - you never know what will happen.
November 23rd, 2013 at 7:14 PM ^
November 23rd, 2013 at 7:35 PM ^
You seem to be conflating "pretty good idea" (your post) with "know" (my post). As I noted above, there's a reason they play the games.
November 23rd, 2013 at 7:41 PM ^
I'd be pretty devastated if that ant I was about to squash with my boot somehow managed to submit me. Wouldn't ever happen though.
November 23rd, 2013 at 7:05 PM ^
Very strategic move by Meyer to go to Ohio. Their co-eds are so ugly that he can avoid having another "heart" issue while there.
November 23rd, 2013 at 9:55 PM ^
Great post !! GO BLUE
November 23rd, 2013 at 9:56 PM ^
Great post !! GO BLUE
November 23rd, 2013 at 7:06 PM ^
I hate Brady Hoke. And Al Borges.
Next Saturday will be the most embarassing day for the program since the Horror.
November 23rd, 2013 at 7:08 PM ^
What a fan you are.
November 23rd, 2013 at 7:34 PM ^
November 23rd, 2013 at 7:47 PM ^
Obviously not in school anymore, but still working the short grass well at night.
November 23rd, 2013 at 7:13 PM ^
Well you better find some love because he wont be leaving anytime soon. aAter Michigan wins saturday forget your seat on the band wagon. We dont need fans like this. Support the team dude, or go over to buck nuts right now and jump on their band wagon.
November 23rd, 2013 at 7:08 PM ^
OSU smells bad.
November 23rd, 2013 at 7:12 PM ^
November 23rd, 2013 at 7:17 PM ^
Its life. Sometimes you have peanut butter without jelly dude. Dont jump off the bridge. Everything will be ok. The silver lining this week is if we lose close we ruin Ohio's season and lessen their chance to play for a title. We just have to make them play ugly and work hard to stop their strengths.
November 23rd, 2013 at 7:27 PM ^
November 23rd, 2013 at 7:30 PM ^
I hate Ohio. They are beatable and they are't going to Bama us. We can make this a game and win, or lose we could still ruin their year. They dont care about big titles and they have already looked ahead of us.
November 23rd, 2013 at 9:55 PM ^
Bro, you aren't Penn State, I promise you no one in S&G is gonna overlook Michigan. Just like you guys would never overlook OSU.
November 23rd, 2013 at 10:09 PM ^
Better hope not. A sloppy Buckeye win will be as bad as a loss. If they are over looking or under estimating anything can happen. Urban is a great coach and motivator, but its hard to convince a team to stay focused somtimes that is over confident. Ohio State has not been tested since Northwestern.
