The team: Can they stay focused?
Why we take the Internet down with outrage, I wonder how the team will handle this, especially when it was levied just hours before the start of the game.
We, as couch potatoes, assume they'll be angry and play amazingly for their coach. I'd like to see it, but these are kids who have had the cheater moniker on their back for weeks.
Will this wear them down? Can they wear that scarlet letter and embrace villainy with the necessary anger and roughness to win these last 3 games?
Thoughts?

Concerns
1- officiating. You better believe it will be PI palooza tomorrow so our corners better be ready. Also I’ll be shocked if we get any penalties in our favor.
2- team trying too hard. Purdue felt like some of that. Easy to come out super amped up, important for players to not try and go beyond their individual responsibilities
3- keep emotions in check. We know Frames will be getting his team to push our guys into reacting for penalties

Been texting my buddy that’s staff on the team ““We’re cock locked and ready to rock”
“I was asleep on the plane. And by the Grace of god I woke up angry”

We've already played three whole games, without him. If you think that after the world has attacked our coach that our young men will fold then evidently you haven't watched one game with these young men!!! We will prevail in each of the next three to five games and our DESTINY has already been written!!! Can't Wait!!!
GO BLUE

The letters they’ll wear will be navy on white jerseys. LFG

How cool would it be if the TRO doesn't come in time for the start of the game, but just after, and Harbaugh strolls in Willis Reed Game 7-style to put on the headset?

I am concerned about same. None of this is a foregone conclusion. Oh I want it so bad I can taste it, Im just not convinced its a gimmee.

These are great kids and this is a great team.
This will, however, impact them. They just decapitated our team.
Hope I am wrong, but how can this not impact them.

My only worry is that Michigan will be so angry and eager that they could press and make mistakes.

If any Michigan team that I have watched play in the 30+ years I have watching them play can handle this situation it’s this team.
I don’t say that without thought and consideration. They came back to win. They came back for legacy. They came back for their coach. Their goal was to win it all and that hasn’t changed. It may start slow but hold on.
