Early games open thread

Awwww, too bad Sparty. I guess you can't hold all fucking day on the road with no flags.
November 20th, 2021 at 2:34 PM ^
Illinois up 10-0 on Iowa now.
For those unaware, no Bert today since he tested positive for covid.
November 20th, 2021 at 2:35 PM ^
Big surprise Tucker picked this game to be totally checked out.
November 20th, 2021 at 2:38 PM ^
He's a coaching genius dude.
The thread said so yesterday. Filled with Sparty nut huggers and apologists.
November 20th, 2021 at 2:36 PM ^
Question about recruiting and paying kids now. Can Michigan in theory just “buy” wins.
November 20th, 2021 at 2:37 PM ^
I hope so, we have $$$.
November 20th, 2021 at 2:36 PM ^
Was Gattis on Penn State's staff with Joe Moorhead, or any staff with Joe Moorhead?
He needs to give him a call.
November 20th, 2021 at 2:38 PM ^
I wonder with Harbaugh shifting back to man ball if speed in space returns next year
November 20th, 2021 at 2:42 PM ^
Manball will never beat Ohio State.
They will score 21 quick points while you are dorking around trying to "establish the run". You have to score points and keep pace with them.
November 20th, 2021 at 2:45 PM ^
Oregon beat them with manball
November 20th, 2021 at 2:49 PM ^
it's as if people think you can't rush the ball into the endzone. i actually think running the ball is the way to beat them. 5-7 min TD drives to shorten the game. obviously, you must have balance and not be stubborn and plow into an 8 man box. then win the turnover battle.
November 20th, 2021 at 2:51 PM ^
That’s what I was thinking. 2016&2017 vs 2018&2019. Harbaugh seems more comfortable calling a slow game as well. Win TOP, keep them under 30 and turnovers you have a shot.
November 20th, 2021 at 3:03 PM ^
That was not this OSU team early in the season
November 20th, 2021 at 2:47 PM ^
Maybe it is more a Don Brown thing but it seems Michigan has done worse when they shifted from slow work the clock to try and keep pace. 16,17 vs 18,19
November 20th, 2021 at 2:38 PM ^
And I'll be shocked if we can put up 40 on Maryland
November 20th, 2021 at 2:38 PM ^
Illinois just gave up kickoff return for TD. Still lead 10-7.
Texas losing @ WV 17-28 to start the 4th.
November 20th, 2021 at 3:32 PM ^
Looks like Sarkisian's not going to last there
November 20th, 2021 at 2:39 PM ^
Well, this 2nd stringer is gonna be transferring out.
November 20th, 2021 at 2:40 PM ^
What an opportunity next week for immortal glory. Everyone is going to assume OSU will win after this.
Play loose, take chances. Opportunity to destroy OSU's season and give Day his first ever loss in Big Ten play and win the division in the process.
November 20th, 2021 at 2:48 PM ^
NEVER PUNT!
November 20th, 2021 at 3:39 PM ^
Play loose, take chances? This is Michigan we're talking about...
November 20th, 2021 at 2:44 PM ^
They actually deleted the game thread on the RCMB.
hah. That’s pathetic.
November 20th, 2021 at 2:54 PM ^
too funny, some of the RCMB posters were blaming the refs!
November 20th, 2021 at 2:51 PM ^
We need another "Tucker Goes for Touchdowns Not Field Goals" thread. Where is that guy?
November 20th, 2021 at 2:54 PM ^
We also need another thread about how he turned the program around in 2 years (as if Dantonio never fielded good teams).
November 20th, 2021 at 3:00 PM ^
I heard a some (good) national CFB analysts talking about how the "cupboard is bare" talk when Dantonio left was way overstated. They were still pretty solid in the trenches, just stale on offense. And Dantonio's last team was a little better than Hoke's. At least they made a bowl
November 20th, 2021 at 3:15 PM ^
His last year or two may not have been as good as the years prior but Dantonio did a lot for that program during his tenure. Other than the Alabama game in the CFP, they won all their bowl games after 2011 (with the exception of the the Red box Bowl against Oregon, who won 7-6).
November 20th, 2021 at 2:51 PM ^
Losing with dignity huh?
November 20th, 2021 at 2:51 PM ^
In other news ISU is hanging with OU, though they needed one of those PSU multi-4th down conversion drives to get it to 21-14.
November 20th, 2021 at 2:58 PM ^
Oklahoma doesn’t have the type of quarterback they normally have. They definitely are not the explosive unit they typically are.
November 20th, 2021 at 2:58 PM ^
Ohio St pretty much will coast the whole second half and MSU will score some and people will talk about how they showed the toughness of Tucker in the second half. Ohio St could have won this game 80-0 if they wanted to
November 20th, 2021 at 3:16 PM ^
And what they will forget to tell you is that OSU put in their 5th string qb because they didn’t want to burn any redshirts.
November 20th, 2021 at 2:59 PM ^
Crazy that OSU has had 5 1,000 yard receivers in their history and could have 3 this season alone.
I hate that I am so jealous of their offense.
November 20th, 2021 at 3:00 PM ^
Beginning of the 4th qtr and Herbstreit/Fowler have gone full UM-OSU preview
November 20th, 2021 at 3:00 PM ^
Having watched OSU vs PennSt, NEB and MSU also considering the last 2 years do we say competitive close game is a good step or no moral victories?
Obviously want and win and it can happen but….
November 20th, 2021 at 3:07 PM ^
no moral victories. it's MICHIGAN FOOTBALL, ffs
November 20th, 2021 at 3:01 PM ^
Stroud will need to stay healthy. Lets hope Hutch and Ojabo get home to stress his passing game.
November 20th, 2021 at 3:07 PM ^
I did look at RCMB today, there is a lot of comments about holding off paying Tucker 10 years 95 million. Some of their fans actually realize how lucky they have been this year. With the Purdue loss and the OSU ass whooping plus Penn State next week, they want to see how he does the next few years.
November 20th, 2021 at 3:09 PM ^
I loved the comments that the refs weren't helping. Sparty fans admitting they need help from the refs to win...
November 20th, 2021 at 3:28 PM ^
Temple transfer Anthony Russo getting a look for Tuck.
He was average in Philly...
November 20th, 2021 at 3:30 PM ^
Mel, take your 3 timeouts here to get the ball back!!!
November 20th, 2021 at 5:39 PM ^
Ah taking advantage of our weakness over the last 30 years, a running qb
