So sloppy.... so ugly... but a UM win. I can't stop watching. Threet, Minor, McGuffie, Matthews, Stonum and company...
Bert really slipped up in that game....
The first half was a nightmare. The illegal receiver downfield call against UW on the 2 point conversion at the end of the game was a gift.
TGFH
PS UM-Louisville for the Sweet 16 is on now. Much better.
something like College Football News saying that if we were counting on Threet to break off a 50 yard run in each game, we'd be in trouble. Still, that was great to see him do that and how he played in that game.
I'm still amazed BTN shows this terrible game (that we thankfully won).
I would rather watch us poop on Rutgers for 78 points than watch this. At least that was a classic BEATDOWN.
And think about it even from a rating standpoint...no Wisconsin fan is going to watch this, no other fan of a B1G wants to watch this awful game. Half of the Michigan fanbase doesn't even want to watch. At least put on the Rutgers game and let us Wolverines remember the days of of rivalry week last year.
In all seriousness, I would rather watch the Rutgers game...and now especially because a lot of young guys played in it.
They also show the M00N game as a classic which is another one most Michigan fans would just as soon forget, and I doubt Northwestern fans want to watch it either.
I can think of two reasons for including such games: someone decided that games that come down to the last seconds are defacto "classic" or someone at BTN is trolling Michigan fans.
To their credit...BTN is only going to show close games and has deemed each team a certain number of classics.
In the last 10 years, Michigan hasn't won any close games except for against bad teams, even under Harbaugh.
I was there, and the stadium was amazingly loud when Thompson (?) took the tipped pass back for a touchdown.
RichRod's Arizona experience has shown that he's what a small handful of UM fans said he was (that is, somewhere between WORST COACH EVER and genius). He's roughly where he should be. I think he'd be best off as an offensive coordinator.
It's not a "classic" (which is highly debatable) because it was close, they are calling it a classic because of the comeback. I think being down 19 at the half was a record for UM in a home game.
Also, I think the feeling about this game falls into a dichotomy of those who were there vs. those who watched it on tv. I was there, and the feeling that came with that comeback was amazing. It was as if natural processes had been set back in order, as if the gods were not going to doom UM to the depths of football hell after all, as if things were gonna be ok. And it was just one hell of a collective rush.
Pyrrhic victory: definition is this game...
This game doesn't seem to fit the definition very well to me.
This game cost us more than we gained from the win? How?
false sense of hope
Can't argue with that.
Out of the dozens of games I've attended as a fan and student, this was the best despite it being during the Rich Rod era. Maybe tied with 2011 ND
Fools gold. But it felt good at the time!
Its clear we won this game b/c of 'The Barwis Effect'
I think Wisconsin was rank #9 at the time
is Major.
