Forgot about a lot of those calls, just the overall feeling that Michigan was officially screwed. The play that bothers me the most, though, was the inability of the entire Wolverine defense to tackle Samuel in OT when he runs in and around everyone and turns a possible 15-yard loss and long fg try into 4th and one and the spot call. The following play he runs into the endzone ending the game.
That was Michigan's best team since 2006 and a tougher loss to swallow than losing 42-39 in Columbus.
Kind of hard to tackle a slippery guy like Samuel when the offense isn't tugging at shirts like hookers at a frat party.
Truth.
OSU committed MULTIPLE penalties on that run none of which were called and should have resulted in a 3rd and forever situation instead of 4th and 1. Of course, the refs would have simply called a bullshit defensive penalty on the 3rd and forever to give OSU a fresh set of downs.
OSU was NEVER going to lose that game. The officials would have done whatever was necessary to ensure that OSU did not lose.
That was the game that ended my college football fandom. I have not watched a second of college football since that game.
I am watching this. Quick observation ? Our recruiting relative to OSU since 2016 sucks. Hoke was good on defense but mediocre on offense. Harbaugh and Brown have both delivered mediocre classes relative to OSU.
Other observation. B1G officials hate Michigan. So many calls were one-sided against us.
How do we beat OSU if both our recruiting sucks AND the B1G officials hate Michigan? Doomed

No thanks. I’m watching the Titanic for the 35th time.
From the opposing side's perspective, it's striking to see how 'off' Barrett was all game. Arm strength was never his skill, but accuracy was.
Fuck off cooler pooper. We’re still in mourning.
sharks is pretty cool. would have beer with.

I was joking. I’m not actually in mourning over a football game.
would have beer with you, too. and wouldn't have to shield my eyes from any cursed red and gray.

Thanks for the warning.

I didn’t watched this game live and I will never watch it. Maybe if someone paid me $10 million I would. But that is the only way.

The New Orleans Saints would like to have a word with you about that claim.

other things you can do instead:
- stab self in eyes with hot knives
- have lion rip your guts out with its hind legs
- be buried up to your head in sand and then they release the fire ants with honey on your face
- put the rat cage on your testicles. hungry rats that is.
- live in Ohio
Ugh, so many chances to put this game away. This may be the game that prevents Harbaugh from winning the B1G and reaching the playoffs in his coaching career at Michigan. OSU is now just so much more talented. The question will become if Harbaugh cannot beat OSU, should we keep him and be happy with 8 to 10 wins a season but still finish 2nd or 3rd place in the east division. Or gamble on a new coach when Harbaugh's contract is up, a new coach may only win 5 to 7 games, a downgrade from Harbaugh.
Very true. After Lloyd Carr retired, we welcomed RR, at least for a few games in 2008, then went 3 and 9. Loved Brady Hoke's first year with 11 and 2 then went down flames and 5 and 7 in year 4.
Keep Harbaugh as long as he gets us 9 or 10 wins each season. Maybe one of these years, we'll get lightning in a bottle where everything clicks. One can only hope.
This was Don Brown's first and best year as DC. Now we give up over 60 points every time we play OSU.
Very sad but true. The scoreboard doesn't lie.
Didn't watch. Too painful.
