And sometimes when it comes to the number of posts after a game less is Moore.
November 12th, 2023 at 12:25 AM ^
Or MOORE is less! Go Blue!
November 12th, 2023 at 3:19 AM ^
Why have less when you can have Moore
November 12th, 2023 at 11:03 AM ^
My my my my my my Sherrone.
November 12th, 2023 at 3:59 AM ^
Or sometimes just have some fun and don't be a cunt. There's that option as well
November 12th, 2023 at 6:35 AM ^
485 points, and calls a cunt like he/she sees it.

Using a derogatory term for the female anatomy is always classy. Well done.
November 12th, 2023 at 9:18 AM ^
I blame GoT. That series single-handedly put that word back in the English vocabulary.
November 12th, 2023 at 5:40 PM ^
It's a very common and not that derogatory term in England.
November 12th, 2023 at 11:01 AM ^
You okay? Seems like you’re pretty upset about a tongue in cheek joke. Seems like you’re the one unable to have fun pal.
I mean I would get your point if my comment was “why are all of these cunts posting so much shit”
November 12th, 2023 at 11:08 AM ^
You should go with cootchie.
November 12th, 2023 at 5:17 AM ^
And yet here you are, first in line to comment. 🙄
November 12th, 2023 at 6:05 AM ^
I hope Sherrone drafts an autobiography to contradict your statement. Moore is Moore by Sherrone Moore.
November 12th, 2023 at 6:57 AM ^
Come on. This is pretty good. A coach interview? Always welcome.
November 12th, 2023 at 11:03 AM ^
It was a joke playing on all the Moore and also all the people who whine about posts. I don’t care how many posts there are just making a little joke I didn’t realize people would be sensitive to.
November 12th, 2023 at 12:17 AM ^
He'll be GREAT as our next Head Coach when Jim retires in 2047.
November 12th, 2023 at 12:27 AM ^
We want more.
We want Moore.
November 12th, 2023 at 1:02 AM ^
Get this man his Broyles!
November 12th, 2023 at 7:00 AM ^
The best thing that happened from yesterday's game was OSU now worried about UM just running the ball all game and gashing them. Ryan Day having a nightmare of Haskins over and over again. OSU knows their D is not as good as PSU's D and UM still ran 200 plus yards at a good ypc.
Prepare for that OSU. Harbaugh and Moore are going to do anything they can to steamroll OSU.

What should I title my threads?
Please make your thread titles as informative as possible: "Justin Feagin" is bad. "Justin Feagin leaving the team?" is good.
November 12th, 2023 at 7:16 AM ^
"Keith Jackson missing" is also informative.....
November 12th, 2023 at 7:44 AM ^
Whoa nellie, what happened to Keith?
November 12th, 2023 at 8:49 AM ^
I heard Miss Nelson is missing.
November 12th, 2023 at 2:32 AM ^
Very happy for the man, but there is no excuse for shutting down the passing game.
You've got the best QB to ever wear the maize and blue, a heismann candidate no less and you don't allow him to throw a pass in the 2nd half?
That sequence inside the 10 yard line was inexcusable.
There’s a difference between being conservative and being one dimensional.
November 12th, 2023 at 2:44 AM ^
I agree. But it worked. It would have been an all-time backfire had we lost. Now Merryland and OCryo State have nothing to plan for RPS= +1000
November 12th, 2023 at 5:12 AM ^
"Maryland and OSU have nothing to plan for"....
They don't need a plan if they know its time to put 10 in the box after halftime.
November 12th, 2023 at 6:27 AM ^
He also disproved the argument that knowing run vs. pass is somehow a 21 point advantage. Michigan didn’t throw a pass the last 36 minutes of the game and scored 17 points in that time. Penn State knew our play call was going to be run every time and still couldn’t stop us.
November 12th, 2023 at 4:10 AM ^
At what point did the game feel in doubt? The scariest moment was when JJ threw a dumb pass into a crowd while being pulled to the ground.
There will be games when we have to take that risk bc we need passing yards and more scoring, but this wasn't one of them. Michigan was in control the whole game. Penn State had to have trick plays, Michigan penalties, 4th down conversions, and uncalled holds just to get one drive down the field. Also, I like the fact that whatever pass plays, motions, and formations Michigan has for big games and gotta-have-it situations, all got kept in the bag to use against OSU.
November 12th, 2023 at 5:21 AM ^
With the struggles Barnhart was having in pass pro it was the right decision.
November 12th, 2023 at 6:49 AM ^
Moore put up the shield wall, protected UM from a season-ending disaster, and gave Barnhart+OL less to think about and more to destroy, all within the bounds of what Moore knows well - OL.
They were a little rattled by Petittys coaching-tampering and Moore put blinders on our horses and let em slice through the flames.
It was the right call to play this game conservatively vs that PSU defense. Keep the ball away, burn clock, impose will, survive possibly the worst emotional/mental circumstances these boys will have to face this year.
November 12th, 2023 at 7:11 AM ^
Boa constrictor method.
November 12th, 2023 at 7:13 AM ^
good post

"They were a little rattled by Petittys coaching-tampering and Moore put blinders on our horses and let em slice through the flames."
THIS is an underrated observation....
November 12th, 2023 at 7:17 AM ^
This. Barnhart looked downright dreadful in this game. I’m not a coach by any stretch but I would have had either a tight end of Trente Jones lined up next to him the entire game so I could have at least tried to throw a few passes. Like I said though, I’m no coach and coach Moore won us the game so go Blue!
November 12th, 2023 at 1:15 PM ^
They were jumping the count.
That could have been corrected.
November 12th, 2023 at 7:21 AM ^
We are good with him sticking around although your premise for if he is primetime or not is crap. Dude had 3 duties. Tackles we're getting rolled over.
Defense was playing extremely well. He did what he needed to do to win. You know what Patriots used to do with Brady. There are games where Brady will just hand the ball over and over again. They cared about winning. Not the stat line. Moore can and will improve but looking around the college landscape, Moore cannot be that bad if Franklin can coach at PSU for this long.
He is an excellent leader and it shows.
November 12th, 2023 at 11:16 AM ^
How can you be so sure?
One interception makes that a whole different game. JJ getting his head taken off by their pass rush makes the end of the season very different, or at least kills a drive completely. You want rushed throws into tight spots covered by future NFL DBs when the team hasn't had to really do that all year?
What you suggest comes with inherent risk and winning that turnover battle was key to winning that game.
Experienced professionals that know the team and players were present and watching from a booth above. I trust what they were seeing, you know better because?
November 12th, 2023 at 3:26 PM ^
He literally believed that PSU's defense was more likely to score on us that PSU offense. Why give them that chance?
He was right.
(We we not bitching last week that Michigan wasn't running the ball enough?)
November 12th, 2023 at 4:50 AM ^
Moore, Moore, Moore. Joe who?
November 12th, 2023 at 7:22 AM ^
With a rebel yell she cried . . .
November 12th, 2023 at 6:45 AM ^
I’ll be curious to know why we ran it so many times in a row. Were there concerns with JJ’s throwing arm (doubtful), concerns with not having enough time for pass pro (plausible but I doubt it), or did Moore just want to take this whole sign stealing situation and throw it right in Penn State’s face. That reason is my personal favorite.
Michigan is going to telegraph for you exactly what it wants to do. You won’t even need to steal, decode, decipher, or whatever else you want to say with our signs. It’s not going to even bother passing the ball, and you are still going to lose.
November 12th, 2023 at 6:54 AM ^
Likely a combination of relying on what he knew was a strength in his players and his own bank of knowledge.
Rank-Ordered List of Prioritities:
1. Score without big-risk plays
2. Keep JJ healthy
3. Avoid getting picked/bad turnovers
4. Burn clock/let D rest
November 12th, 2023 at 7:15 AM ^
Yeah that's where I disagree.
I'm fine with calling 30 runs in a row because we have such an incredible O-line that we could rely on it . . to a point.
Just because it worked, doesn't mean it was 100% the right decision.
Not being able to get a 1st down was not conservative.
Being predictable was not conservative.
Having to punt it back to the other team multiple times isn't conservative.
Not being able to keep running clock because you have given PSU the ball back certainly isn't conservative.
Or I guess by another definition, too conservative to be 100% logical.
It worked & I'm thrilled but Moore did have JJ try that nice long (risky!) PA that ended up in a PSU PI. by accident, he wanted that pass play.
A teensy bit more balance and we wouldn't have had to keep punting (which can be risky).
It's not like PSB defensive backs were having errand JJ throws slip through their fingers lol.
Like I said, I was fine with 30 runs, the O-line and the incredible D made it possible. Just would have liked to see our D with a bit more r3st as we marched down the field.
November 12th, 2023 at 7:36 AM ^
Just because it worked, doesn't mean it was 100% the right decision.
No shit our play calling wasn't perfect, we were missing our head coach if you recall.
November 12th, 2023 at 8:35 AM ^
Umm, that field goal drive for UM took up 8 minutes and nearly the rest of the third quarter that was left. It was a great strategy and although the scoreboard doesn’t show it, that was a total beat down of a top ten team, on the road, in a loud and hostile environment, with Harbaugh on the sidelines. All things considered, it was a more dominating game than the scoreboard showed and a more thorough win over PSU than OSU had.
November 12th, 2023 at 6:56 AM ^
When we tried to pass early the o-line couldn't hold up to Penn States pass rush. So we ran over them instead. Bring in the mammoth package and grind Penn State into dust!
November 12th, 2023 at 7:26 AM ^
I agree with you and I agree with JabberWock as well. He did what was working and why go away from something that worked. It was conservative and looked like a Harbaugh game and he learned from him. Who am I to challenge a coach who learned from Harbaugh with so many accolades in his lifetime.
