A NOTE ON DOWNLOADING GFYCATS
I've noticed a few comments about the low quality of some gifs when you download from the gfycat page. I think I found a workaround.
1. If you click any of the honorable mention links, you'll go right to the page you need. If you click on the gfycat embeds, they take you to a slightly different page, so you'll need to change the URL from gfycat.com/gifs/detail/[gif name] to gfycat.com/[gif name].
2. Click on the settings button in the lower right corner to bring up a number of options. This lets you set the quality of the gfycat, toy with the playback speed (highly recommended), play it in reverse, and download GIF versions. You'll want to hit "open large GIF format" because the small ones are of essentially unusable quality.
3. I haven't figured out a rhyme or reason to this, but sometimes that's all you need to do and sometimes that link just takes you back to the original gfycat. If the "open large GIF format" URL is thumbs.gfycat.com/[gif name]-max-14mb.gif, you're good to go.
4. The URL may just be gfycat.com/[gif name], however. If that's the case, simply copy and paste the gif name (the random three-word combination in the URL) and use the correct URL (thumbs.gfycat.com/[gif name]-max-14mb.gif) instead. Now you should be able to load the GIF, right-click, and save.

Tend to be my favorite
October 17th, 2017 at 2:37 PM ^
The One-Man-Show was EPIC!
October 17th, 2017 at 4:13 PM ^
ayyyyy good to see Grant Newsome dressed
Edit: from last year :(
October 17th, 2017 at 2:27 PM ^
I wish we had the other angle on the one good O'Korn throw, because it was magnificant and rare.
October 17th, 2017 at 4:23 PM ^
Agreed. If JOK had an amazing past two weeks and looked like he was going to put us in position to ruin PSU's season on Saturday, people would be going gaga over this play. It really was a great play.
October 17th, 2017 at 2:31 PM ^
October 17th, 2017 at 2:35 PM ^
Harbaugh's delay of game reaction is basically my spirit animal this season.
October 17th, 2017 at 2:46 PM ^
So your spirit animal screams "John!!!!" over and over? Pretty odd...
You know nothing, John O'Korn
October 17th, 2017 at 2:38 PM ^
Nice to see the Oline show a little emotion on the long run, get excited fella's.
October 17th, 2017 at 3:59 PM ^
Yeah, I enjoyed that one, too.
October 17th, 2017 at 2:38 PM ^
Amazing run even more amazing when you watch Kugler off the snap. He goes the wrong way and blocks nobody....except Onwenu.
October 17th, 2017 at 2:48 PM ^
October 17th, 2017 at 3:01 PM ^
I noticed that too. We essentially ran that play 9 on 11 and still scored the game winning touchdown. Hooray IU loss of contain.
October 18th, 2017 at 12:29 AM ^
Interestingly, it's the same counter that Higdon scored the long TD on, and, amazingly, we ran it on both of the two plays prior to the long Higdton TD too. Lots of counter in this game.
October 17th, 2017 at 3:49 PM ^
October 17th, 2017 at 4:24 PM ^
The funny thing is if he doesn't mess up, does Higdon bounce it for the win or does he push forward for only 4 or 5 yards?
October 17th, 2017 at 5:22 PM ^
How many of our pass pro problems can be attributed to Kugler taking over the center position? It seems like we are getting beat pretty easily on passing downs even when we have numbers because guys aren't ID'ing the right people before the snap. Even Cole is having problems - you can see it in the Harbaugh catch gif. It seems like whoever is making those calls isn't getting it right most of the time.
October 17th, 2017 at 5:48 PM ^
I'm not saying we're a good pass blocking team, but the line has gotten better each week all around. The QB play is making the line play seem worse than it is.
October 17th, 2017 at 6:10 PM ^
The only time I've noticed the entire line blocking a defender off across the multiple guys, like you would have with missed MIKE calls was against Purdue. I can't suss out the more subtle effects of bad line calls, but I don't think it's a persistent fundamental issue with him.
October 17th, 2017 at 2:42 PM ^
Jump! Jump!
October 17th, 2017 at 2:45 PM ^
Gotta be the Higdon run. Very rarely do we get to see a Michigan RB bust a long run for a touchdown like that. It seems to happen against us versus OSU almost every year, so it's a treat to see the good guys get one.
October 17th, 2017 at 2:45 PM ^
woe be our O-line in pass pro.
October 17th, 2017 at 2:48 PM ^
My favorite one is the Higdon Touchdown #2 (celebration replay) They seem to have blocked this play perfectly and for a unit that has taken as much heat as they have this season, I'm sure that play felt real good.
October 17th, 2017 at 3:09 PM ^
Need an interview / best of Harbaughs cord guy.
October 17th, 2017 at 3:13 PM ^
Mo Hurst is terrifying.
I would like to see him as the lead blocker on a goal line situation.
October 17th, 2017 at 3:16 PM ^
We have a panda who does that really well.
October 17th, 2017 at 9:26 PM ^
Poggi and Mason are both better run blockers than Hill, IMO.
Hill gets the carries on the goal line, but Poggi will put you on your ass (see above for details).
How about we go with 7 OL, (+Runyan & Ruiz) then we get Poggi and Hurst as wingbacks lined up to O'Korn's left (who is under center). Then we put Hill behind O'Korn and we run that LSU/Les Miles or Chris Evans/Purdue quick pitch to the left.
October 18th, 2017 at 1:51 PM ^
Get O'Korn out of there, and snap it to the Hammering Panda.
October 17th, 2017 at 3:18 PM ^
I don't understand the snark behind #9. There was a free rusher from the left immediately in O-Korns grill. He had no choice but to just get rid of the ball throwing to Higdon in the flat, which appears to be a checkdown route. The other receivers made it to the sticks. DPJ ran a curl one yard in front of the marker and I assume his thinking was that he'd fight and fall forward for the extra yard. His defender was standing in zone coverage right on the line to gain.
The snarky comment implies that the play design was to toss it to Higdon out wide without any blockers? I doubt it. Not understanding the criticism of the coaches here, other than calling a play were the line only blocked 3 of 4 pass rushers.
October 17th, 2017 at 3:37 PM ^
October 18th, 2017 at 10:32 AM ^
ohhhhhhhhhhhhh haha. I do get sarcasm. I somehow missed that coach caught the ball. My bad.
October 17th, 2017 at 3:41 PM ^
October 17th, 2017 at 3:25 PM ^
Karan Higdon successfully executed the Mike Shaw bounce bounce bounce.

The OT TD run was Barry Sandersesque. Wow.
October 18th, 2017 at 1:55 PM ^
Every time a player makes a succesful jump cut.
October 17th, 2017 at 4:10 PM ^
Higdon touchdown #2 with the O line celebration.. For as much as the fanbase likes to criticize their shortcomings, I geninuely felt good for the guys up front seeing their reactions. They deserve it, after all.. keep plowing away men
October 17th, 2017 at 4:25 PM ^
It's hard to tell if 91 and 74 on Indiana are slanting away from the hole or are they just getting their asses kicked. A little of both? What say you Xs and Os dudes?
October 18th, 2017 at 8:50 AM ^
A little of both. It was a counter play - watch the FB and Higdon, they both slant left at the snap. The entire defense followed them, which setup the OL in perfect position to wall them off. Ulizio would have done well on that play!
October 17th, 2017 at 4:29 PM ^
I love the way he gets up, casually chucks the ball behind him, then start sprinting to the sideline.
October 17th, 2017 at 4:40 PM ^
Siiiiigh. So painful to watch. HIs anticipation of running a play he has held in his back pocket just to see it blown on a delay of game penalty!
The play looked to be excecuted pretty well and was going to go for a good chunk of yardage. What a bummer that was!
October 17th, 2017 at 5:17 PM ^
Did I miss the Winovich and Hurst double belly rub gif? Made me laugh during the game, Winovich running up next to Hurst doing the belly rub.
October 17th, 2017 at 6:50 PM ^
tight pass to the fifty. He has potential. Can't we run him out of the pocket on roll more often. He seems to be more comfortable there than under center.
Accounting football advice, so I'm sure I do not know what I am talking about.
October 17th, 2017 at 6:56 PM ^
Crazy thing about that Higdon OT TD run: if Kugler goes the right way, the play is probably blocked perfectly again and might be a TD anyway. That play is money.
October 17th, 2017 at 11:20 PM ^
on the game winner, I'm really shocked that they didn't call roughing the passer. No, it wasn't, but that didn't stop them earlier. Rashan looks like that crazy dude on the subway no one wants to sit next to or make eye contact with lol. Too funny.
October 18th, 2017 at 8:53 AM ^
#6 - Successful Business Trip... That play saw Gary finally get to the QB and share a sack with Hurst. That Winovich hand shake was some sarcastic business! Love it!!!
