Dantonio is available 

I say the same thing every season about pulling back a bit and just casually watching, yet here I am yelling at the television on another fall Saturday.  

I don't even know anymore. I was completely checked out until I saw the performance last week, got suckered back into this shit.  Don Brown has been nothing but fools gold, He more than anyone is responsible for why this team can't achieve shit.. I'm out until we have new coaches. Not wasting anymore more of my life on this shit program.

Jansen made a good point pre-game, i.e. that MSU put up 27 last week, even with 7 turnovers, which suggested that their offense might not be that bad. That being said, us getting flagged for multiple PI penalties helped them out a ton.

I agree, the offense wasn't as efficient as it should be given the talent on the roster. Harbaugh's teams have been marked by plenty of talented players whose talent gets wasted.

I put aside my chronic BPONE after last week (it doesn't take much), but it's back and probably worse than ever.  I looked at the schedule after today's game and I think we'll be lucky to end up a .500 team. I unplugged the Lions years ago and only being an alum is keeping my interest in this program. 

Broken by a play called and reviewed correctly.  Ouch.

Harbaugh lost his passion years ago though I’m not sure it’s because of the Barrett was short play.

Im hoping Harbaugh sees the writing on the wall and bows out at the end of the year while helping Michigan keep their recruits and helping the administration work towards finding a suitable replacement.

If he takes a TO there, they review, the call is an incompletion, and msu doesn't score the game winning td.

But he didn't.

Kind of hard to unleash Milton when he can't complete a pass on a dropback without scrambling or leaving the pocket to make a completion. Everytime, it's a straight dropback, it's an adventure and probably should've been intercepted 2-3 times if MSU had better athletes.

I used to love 3rd downs because we could reliably get to the QB, but now the only thing I can do is hope that it's an incompletion

Dr Blitz somehow can't get pressure on the QB

For sure, Brown is what he is and he's clearly never going to change. Missing on some good corners the last few cycles and Ambry's early departure has put us in this really tough spot. BUT, I believe that if you are going to win college football games in today's game (especially if they are calling PI on those plays early) you have to score at least 1 touchdown a quarter (end with 28+ points). That would have given us a win in this one. I don't see how this falls on the defense (which granted did play well below expectations) when the defense only gave up 27 points. 

Nah, first let's dispell the notion that we are as good as the hype generated by the win over the 0-2 Gophers, especially after their loss to Maryland. Second, give Sparty credit for being motivated and ready to play, and give them additional credit for their play on both sides of the ball. They won the battle in the trenches and had a great scheme on defense that we simply couldn't solve. Especially when our OL was pretty much dominated. No, for me the last two OSU games stick out way above this loss as our worst in the Jim Harbaugh/ Don Brown era.

Pigs continue to line up and we're out of lipstick.  

This.

Peppers and Hill aren't here.

This D only works with NFL caliber backfield.

His contract is up at the end of 2021. If he gets fired before that, his buyout is $10M. 

I'd understood that an extension probably would have already been done but for the precarious state of university finances due to Covid. It's hard to justify visibly spending millions of dollars on football when the state is cutting university funding, revenues are slacking, positions are being eliminated, and tuition is increasing.

Agreed.  Also, lack of adjustment in the running game.  Between the tackles was not working.  State was selling out there, but the edges were open.  We did not run wide nearly enough.  The whole offensive plan was maddening.  Up the middle after a first down pass was incomplete left us in 3rd and 8 or 9 about a million times.  Terrible plan coming into the game and terrible lack of adjustments during the game on both sides of the ball.

I listened to an interview last week with Milton, and he was talking about how he’s mastered the pre snap reads and how he knows exactly what the defense is going to do. I saw absolutely no evidence of this 

Objectively, I think Rashan Gary is the most overrated Michigan player I’ve ever seen, but I agree that those two are massively overrated nonetheless

I was thinking that same thing.  Paye was invisible last week until the three-sack explosion and he was invisible again today..  They are both "solid" players but miles away from being superstars.

I really don't mind having Haskins in the shotgun once in a while but... like wtf? Does Milton really lack the ability to get the ball across the line in that situation. It looked very forced and if I was Joe, I'd have a little of a bone to pick with Gattis right there.
