I love the reference, AND the sentiment, but let's face it, we got lucky during the CMC.

Don't doubt for a second that Kennedy was playing chess....most likely while Kruschev playing Hungry Hippos....

PSU leads the B1G in turnover margin. Their secondary is a relative strength. Their DL was beating our pass protection, limiting JJ's ability to run his checkdowns. On the road, JJ having trouble communicating audibles due to crowd noise. Their QB, apart from a couple of trick plays, was not going to beat our secondary. Conservative was the way to go.....

I hate to burst you and the other poster’s bubbles, but Kennedy didn’t outwit Khrushchev. USSR let it be known, through back channels, that they would withdraw from Cuba if we removed our missiles from Turkey that could reach the Soviet Union as easily as theirs could reach the USA from Cuba.  We agreed, but only on the condition it wouldn’t be announced publicly and we would do it quietly a few months later, which we did. 

I took a Pol Sci class at U-M in 1971 where we did an entire role playing of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Taught by a former advisor of the JFK/LBJ administrations. The Michigan Difference.

I thought Moore's play calling was brilliant.

When penn state's difficulty with our jumbo package was apparent, Moore kept grinding out the yards and the clock play after play. Nothing fancy. We're running the ball, try and stop us.

In the last two games, Michigan has shown the ability to win through the air or on the ground. That, and the motivation that comes from the "us versus the world" mentality..... 

ohio has to be concerned.

Barrie, Galloway and Mullen thought Sherrone's on-field post-game speech was something to belittle and poke fun at. 

A bunch of mother effs.

I know, I shouldn't be watching it.

Sorry, but I just love that the people running this team are so invested and feel it so deeply. As much as the Ws, this signifies to me that we are fully back.
