Win against Iowa and the sky is the limit
The Big 10 Championship is a ginormous game for Michigan football. Michigan has a real chance to win the conference championship but even more important play for a National Championship in a year there will be Clemson, osu and Bama in NYD6 Bowls
The stakes are high, the team is focused and Iowa looms
Go Blue!
Beat Iowa!!

Were we sll supposed to start a thread after beating Ohio?
November 28th, 2021 at 10:54 AM ^
Who gives a shit man. Everyone is still elated with this monumental event. I’ve been scouring the blog and reading everything cause I’m still hyped. Just enjoy it
November 28th, 2021 at 12:55 PM ^
Maybe take a deep breath, it was a joke. Sorry you needed the "s/" to understand that.
November 28th, 2021 at 11:02 AM ^
We can all do that now that we have beaten Ohio. Pretty sure it was a rule.
November 28th, 2021 at 11:29 AM ^
Everyone is happy. Quit being a Code-7 dick. Let people have their fun.
November 28th, 2021 at 1:00 PM ^
Stfu, RC. A few weeks ago you were sending Harbaugh to the Lions. Moron.
November 28th, 2021 at 11:36 AM ^
Eat my shorts Code, it’s the biggest day for this fan base in like 20 years. Partake in the joyous celebration or kick rocks
November 28th, 2021 at 12:57 PM ^
You're a fucking idiot troll, Pookins.
Congrats on the one week anniversary of your account.
November 28th, 2021 at 4:01 PM ^
You are one angry dude my friend

Michigan has a legitimate shot at playing in the National Title game vs Georgia. If Georgia beats Bama, Cincy handles Houston and Okie State beats Baylor again, which are all most likely to happen, I see the rankings as 1 - Georgia, 2- Mich, 3 and 4 will either be Cincy and Oklahoma State. If Cincy or Oklahoma State falter, Notre Dame I think will slide in. But other than Georgia, I think Michigan can handle the others and they play the Bulldogs for the title. All this goes without saying that we need to finish our business with Iowa.
November 28th, 2021 at 11:06 AM ^
I don't know about Georgia beating Bama. Saban has an uncanny ability to scheme against former assistants. Their offensive line is leaky (7 sacks to Auburn yesterday) and they don't have a lot of playmakers apart from Bryce Young but their defense is still good. Also, Georgia's QB Bennett is basically a zero star (though they have JT Daniels as a backup). They haven't seen a Saban-like defense since week 1, when they managed just one FG (their only score was a pick 6). So I can see a defensive struggle, but Saban has the edge in terms of experience.
November 28th, 2021 at 11:40 AM ^
I have to disagree with you. Bama has looked somewhat.......human, in quite a few games this year, which is uncharacteristic of a Saban coached team. Talking about defense, Georgia's D is scary good and with that type of D, all you need from your QB and offense is to be efficient. No matter how many recruiting stars he has. Also, if it wasn't for Auburn's complete inability to manage the last 2 minutes of the game, Bama would be 10-2 right now
November 28th, 2021 at 11:45 AM ^
I would never bet against Saban in a big game. Based on what I saw in the last five minutes of regulation in that game last night, Alabama has some very talented receivers, and Young is a damn good young QB.
I'm rooting for Georgia anyhow.
November 28th, 2021 at 10:54 AM ^
Beat Iowa. Win the game. It means a lot. Yesterday was awesome. Elevenwarriors still does not understand Michigan has a really good football team, lol. Go Blue !
November 28th, 2021 at 11:02 AM ^
If they don't think we have a good team, then getting physically dominated (297 rush yards!) and giving up 42 points is even more humiliating for them.
November 28th, 2021 at 11:02 AM ^
"This team shot their wad against Purdue and MSU.
Hope all of you who wanted TTUN to be good again are happy now."
Hahaha - this was the from the very first post from their gamer over at 11W. 417 more posts to read thru.
November 28th, 2021 at 11:06 AM ^
Missed that one Goggles. Thank you for sharing. The posts I read ranged from blaming their defensive coaches and Day to Stroud (which was ridiculous). Btw, I thought OSU receivers made some amazing catches yesterday and are very talented.
November 28th, 2021 at 11:14 AM ^
Stroud wasn't sharp, lots of over throws. Generally the book on him held, little threat to run, and less accurate under pressure. He's a good one with a bright future but I think OSU fans will fell very much like he didn't play well.
How many times did an OSU receiver catch the ball in stride vs how many times that had to go down and get one, or behind them etc.
November 28th, 2021 at 11:02 AM ^
Another beauty from 11W:
"Fire the whole defensive staff. Fire Stud. Open competition for every spot. All those jokes about the 3* New England kids. I’d rather have 3*’s who give a damn than 5* kids who are more concerned about selling t-shirts and doing commercials for Ricart. What an absolute joke. Day has some serious questions to answer. The only game all year that matters and that’s the shit you put on the field while getting your dick kicked in for 4 quarters? Woody is rolling in his grave"
November 28th, 2021 at 11:48 AM ^
It's wonderful to see Ryan Day is now having to deal with the stuff that Harbaugh has dealt with for the past five years. Let's see how well he deals with it.
November 28th, 2021 at 11:03 AM ^
Elevenwarriors is a microcosm of osu fans in Columbus, Ohio. Nauseating and arrogant
FVCK osu
FVCK Michigan State
Beat Iowa
Go Blue!

Finally we have a chance to bury the MGoBlog Curse. Brian founded the blog just after the 2004 season.
November 28th, 2021 at 12:13 PM ^
Ah, and here all this time I've been blaming Carr!
November 28th, 2021 at 11:04 AM ^
Got tickets for Indy and I'll be off the board all week to prepare for the B1G Championship Game (I'm channeling my inner WD right now).
But yeah, unfinished business for our boys in the Winged Helmets. No doubt they and the coaches are doing everything they can this morning to shift the focus to our next goal.
The 〽️ football leadership is in place on the team to make sure it happens!
November 28th, 2021 at 11:04 AM ^
The title is probably Georgia’s to lose this year with how dominant they’ve been, but their offense is nowhere near as potent as OSU’s. The problem with them would just be trying to score, because you’re not going to move the ball much on those guys.
But hey, anything can happen on any given night.
November 28th, 2021 at 11:06 AM ^
It is absolutely critical that we don’t turn the ball over this Saturday. If we don’t give them oxygen or short fields it will be hard for them to move the ball against us and put points on the board. Hoping Corum is even closer to 100% this game so we can get back to Thunder and Lightening although Haskins has obviously been an absolute beast these past few weeks. Would love to throw some play action at Iowa after establishing the run. This may be a game where we really rely on the run game though to minimize the chances of turning the ball over. I like our chances away from Kinnick but Iowa doesn’t beat themselves and we will have to take this game to be Big Ten Champions.

This bizarro world playoff scene is great for the college football in general, and Michigan will be poised to benefit from it if they take down Iowa.
This Michigan team fears no one and plays well in every aspect of the game. There is no insurmountable buzzsaw waiting in the first round of the playoff. This is a golden opportunity for the program to turn it up a notch and cement itself into the highest echelon of the sport.
November 28th, 2021 at 11:55 AM ^
Yup. Just beat Iowa.
The truth is I view all of this as gravy now.
Beating Ohio State means another week we typically don't get where we get to live in the moments of Michigan football being talked about nationally in a positive way with something exciting to look forward to. More articles. More TV time. More discussion. More anticipation.
Beating Iowa means an additional month of the exact same.
November 28th, 2021 at 12:03 PM ^
Step 1: Beat Iowa
Step 2: Beat next team.
Step 3: ?????
Step 4: Profit
November 28th, 2021 at 12:38 PM ^
Step 3: Beat the team after that

This Iowa game won’t be easy. They only have two losses this year - Purdue and Wisconsin. Iowa plays a pesky brand of football. They have a great run defense and they force a lot of turnovers. Michigan will also be the best team that Iowa has faced all year by far.
The National Championship is wide open this year in my view. Georgia looks like they are clearly the best team, but they aren’t as good as Clemson and Bama in recent years. They’ve beat up on a mediocre SEC East and Arkansas. They struggled with a mediocre Clemson.
Cincinnati, Alabama, Notre Dame, and Oklahoma State all look beatable. I wouldn’t be surprised if Michigan ends up in the NC game and plays Georgia closely.
November 28th, 2021 at 1:12 PM ^
I agree that the opportunity is massive. Everyone needs to understand that yesterday wasn't our Super Bowl, it was a Wild Card game. The real opportunity to move this program forward is ahead of us. Yesterday was just the first hurdle to clear, and as enjoyable as it was/is - if we lose vs Iowa it's all but going to waste.
