Sarcasm meter broken?

This might help. If every time you see the name "Jake Rudock" in this thread you replace it with the name "Dennis Franklin" it'll all make sense.
November 29th, 2015 at 9:51 AM ^
i really really really hope rudock can play.

Depends on if a B1G gets an at-large to the Fiesta Bowl.
If that happens and you get a CFBP, Rose Bowl, Fiesta Bowl between MSU/Iowa/OSU...then we could go Citrus, IMO.
If we don't get that Fiesta and one of them is bumped out, then we're bumped to Tampa.
Whatever, we get the bowl practices.
I'm much more concerned about Rudock being healthy for the game. I want to win the game...I really don't care if he practices until Christmas.
Let the other guys practice, he's not coming back anyway. Give him a week of prep and let's try and get to 10 wins on the season.
Could Glasgow return?
This team is REALLY banged up. I'm interested to see what we look like on Jan 1. I honestly think we could come out and beat anyone. We need rest so badly. It'll be nice to see a fresher version on the field.

A week or so ago when they interviewed his brother, his brother said something like 'he had a really great year'. I got the impression he was done for the year. Maybe he's back for the bowl game - it'd be nice, but I'm leaning towards doubtful.

is a really bad injury that doesn't heal in two months.

If Glasgow tore his petoralis major, which is what was reported, he will not be back this year

but.....Jan 1st is NEXT year,

I think Michigan goes to the Citrus and plays Georgia.
I kept reading comments yesterday, which either said, coaches were terrible, or coaches are great.
Realistically, the offensive game plan was mostly fine, yes? Before the injury MIchigan just failed to finish a couple of drives with TD's, which hadn't been a problem up to this point. The O-line had a rough day. It was dispiriting to watch them get whipped in space as well as releasing Washington to hit Rudock and singling up Bosa and just barely getting a hand on him. That said, Chesson and Butt looked very good, and I'm excited to watch Jehu as a senior.
Defense was a mess. Michigan used 3 down linemen and 6 or 7 in the box to stop a team that was running on every down. That's a rather large tactical error to make in a game of this import. I'd rather give up the throw to Marshall where he had to make a nice play after a good throw then concede 6 yards to Elliot or Barrett on every play. That was a second terrible performance, Indiana being th other one, where Michigan simply assumed that they could dominate one on one matchups. When that wasn't happening it had to change, and quickly. It didn't. Not great from Durkin and GMatt. I hope next year's game plan is to shut down the run at all costs even if some long throws get completed becuase watching Hyde and now Elliot shred us is pretty terrible.

But it is hard to watch a team with as much talent as we had be about the 7th toughest game for them this year. We needed to at least be able to hang around to maybe catch a break, but instead we got drop kicked out of our own house.

in the first half of the year. I mentioned it multiple times in contrast to the last few years, they were finally an asset, not a liability.
The second 1/2 of the year they really faltered. poor coverage, allowing more yardage, touchdowns, bad punts, penalties on returns, etc.
Last year to the first half to the 2nd half has been a fucking roller coaster.
Overall they have improved from last year, and the field goals have been wonderfully steady but yeesh.

Music City would be easy for me, but I would expect that a team that was in the CFP conversation up until the last week would be selected for a more respectable bowl game.

No way Northwestern gets the nod for CItrus over Michigan.
Reason 1 = $$$
Reason 2 = Michigan 38, Northwestern 0
November 29th, 2015 at 9:58 AM ^
Exactly, if we're not in the Citrus it's because the B1G didn't get an at-large and one of the "big 3" got bumped down to the Citrus Bowl.
November 29th, 2015 at 10:02 AM ^
And us vs Florida is a good draw for us. Kind of strength on strength and lame on lame. Ol Miss or LSU, not so much.

Citrus Bowl vs. Ole Miss/Georgia/Florida.
I'm sorry, but I just don't see how either Wisconsin or Northwestern can be slotted ahead of us. In addition to absolutely slaughtering Northwestern head to head, we had a much tougher conference schedule than Wisconsin and came out with the same record, and also our "brand"/TV ratings draw is much bigger than both of those schools.
November 29th, 2015 at 10:06 AM ^
Just off the cuff I think I would like to see us go against Ole Miss. Probably just because it is something different. After that I would pick Georgia.
November 29th, 2015 at 10:15 AM ^
I agree, Ole Miss would be a fun opponent to play and it would also be a SEC team, which of course always helps. However, I think Ole Miss is gonna be in the Sugar Bowl so it probably gonna be florida, a team that we should beat and even if there is no rudock, I think that after 15 practices, Speight wouldbe able to at least put up 14 points and that would be enough to win
November 29th, 2015 at 10:42 AM ^
I'd rather play Florida too. Or Georgia, but I actually don't think Georgia stands a chance at being selected that high in the SEC bowl order.
The Big Question for the Sugar Bowl people (assuming Bama kills Florida like everyone is expecting): Do you pick a 9-3 Ole Miss team for the Sugar Bowl over a 10-3 Florida team that killed Ole Miss during the regular season? On paper, I'd say of course not, but Ole Miss passes the eye test over the last month while Florida has looked wretched. I think UF would be steamrolled by any Big 12 team they played in New Orleans.
Other thing going in favor of Florida to the Citrus bowl. UF would likely sell way more tickets to a game in Orlando than Ole Miss would and Mississippi is very close to New Orleans so they would probably bring more people to New Orleans, especially considering the terrible streak Florida would be on at the time.
Also, you can have the two new major coaches vs. each other with UM vs. UF.

I think we would beat Florida and Georgia, but lose to Ole Miss.
