I found an OSU sweatshirt with a Notre dame tag on the inside. Not sure if it was a "You had one job" moment but it felt great to burn, 2 birds, 1 stone.
It's funny watching games on T.V because you'll hear the fake crowd noise get excited, so you're thinking fumble or penalty but, the players are just walking back to the line. It gets me every time
Tired of seeing "This celebrity tested positive and that celebrity tested positive" when average every day folks get denied testing by the state labs because they don't meet requirements ( even though they show symptoms and doctors are requesting the testing".
With Labcorp and Quest now offering tests, the number of positive cases will climb. We were only able to get 1 specimen approved for testing with the state lab in Arizona...1.
Let's be clear.... 9-3, 10-2, 8-4 were the NORM for everybody and it's not about just being competitive, it's about being competitive AND winning your fair share.
There were 4-5 completions where we had pressure or were actively tackling the QB when he released the pass. Bama's WR's just made a few really athletic catches.
C is for average, an average college QB hits half the deep balls Patterson misses on and at least tries on some of the deep balls Patterson doesn't even pull the trigger on, at the very least makes the right call on a zone read play.... you have to read 1 guy Shea.
Huh!? What about the last 2 years would make you think "this was the game where Shea Patterson played himself out of the NFL"? I hope he did well in school because he can't even open up a restaurant, sell insurance or open a car lot. I'm not sure even the arena league is an option after the disaster which was Shea Patterson's Michigan career.
Plays are there to be made, Shea just doesn't make them. Probably the absolute dumbest thing I ever seen a QB do, at the end of the half 2nd down, 40 or so seconds left and Shea decides to scramble instead of throw it away. He then does the SAME thing on 3rd down but gets sacked. The knock on Harbaugh is not pulling Patterson after the first 2-3 games and riding a new QB the rest of the reason.
Patterson early on fumbled, middle of the season made a lot of bad reads on zone read plays, all the while throwing inaccurately over 20 yards. At the very least, you sit Patterson after Penn state and give other QBs a shot.
Under dogs win games all the time, you just don't win games against "more talented" teams making as many mistakes in key situations as we did today.
Your star players have to step up for 4 quarters and make plays when they are there, not make mistakes. We haven't had a guy step up for Michigan since probably Woodson, maybe Denard
I noticed more snaps from under center in the red zone and a lot less fumbles. I just wished Patterson looked less scared and panicked after his first read is covered and learned when to hand off or keep during a zone read
I think at some point you need to see results. All of the coaches in college football who make around Harbaugh's salary have won national championships, while Harbaugh hasn't won a conference title.
I'm not saying fire Harbaugh by any stretch but, talk of lifetime contracts and never being fired is just as ridiculous.
You care, you posted. Fans are the REASON there is an NFL for theses guys to dream of, the reason they train for million dollar contracts is because fans pay money. These case aren't really about the fans or even the university, it's about teammates. I think if you asked the players to answer anonymously I think you would see they care. Nobody wants to suit up and sacrifice their body to lose.
With players sitting out for non-playoff bowl games, it seems like the logical course would be expand the playoff. The only other course is to remove some of the bowl games and we all know that isn't going to happen.
It's funny how you guys like to quote Bo's " the team, the team, the team" but are ok with it when captains sit out and put themselves above the team. You're not just playing for yourself and your family, you're playing for the guy next to you. I'm not in the situation to sell out my friends for millions of dollars, so I don't really know what I'd do but, I'd like to think I'd be there until the end when everything was finished.
It is what it is, all you heard all year was how close this team was but obviously that Ohio state game effected the players like it effected the fans. Too many injuries, too many folks quit, if you feel they had good reason that's cool but, they still quit.
I dont think you can come up with a more opposite example of what the fans perceive as the core of Michigan football
All I could think about was, so much for The Team, The team, The team. Not sure what I expected with major players out especially on defense either injured or just choosing not to play but it wasn't that.
Few things things here. Green Bay and Cleveland chatter, Harbaugh says no, no interest but, the Jets.... the Jets have a shot? Wouldn't you be required to live near New Jersey at least part of the year? Could you imagine Harbaugh on the Jersey Shore?
We scored 39 points the problem wasn't the offensive game plan. Their offensive game was throw to whoever Brandon Watson was covering, unfortunately they were open every single time. I think like how we were surprised by Wimbush being able to throw a completable pass, we were surprised when the OSU receivers caught one. I don't see why they didn't pull Watson for a speedier Corner after he got burned so often and so badly the entire first half. Go back and look at every big play OSU had in the passing game and you'll see number 28 in the frame.
The difference being, Harbaugh was pre-negligent homicide and Saban was post. That's a pretty big difference. What your saying is kinda like Ted Kaczynski went to U of M so that reflects poorly on the college because he decided at some point in his life to send bombs in the mail. People are responsible for their own decisions.
It's almost like Saban is trying to submarine his program just to see what he can get away with.
It's all about the rivalry games and championships. If you are beating Notre dame, MSU and most importantly Ohio state folks are happy. It's like going all you can eat buffet and filling up on ice cubes.
Twas the night before the game and all through the shoe, everyone's coolers were full of poo poo. Urbs with his headaches and John coopers toupee had just finished updating Urbans new resume.
They had to pump up the ACC because Clemson wasn't playing too great. If you manufacture a few top 15 wins for Clemson, you can justify them being undefeated at 2 and Notre Dame undefeated at 4 (in the first week). I just hope the B1G stomps teams this bowl season.
Every fan base has folks like that. You're sanctimonious post really just comes off as snarky and self righteous. I'll agree the few folks who posted fire Harbaugh were ridiculous, I'd be willing to bet just as many if not more were calling for Urban's head after Purdue and Nebraska ( but they were perfectly fine with him coming back after Zach Smith)
Webber is one of my favorite U of M basketball players ever. Considering the racist response a lot of Michigan fans had towards the Fab 5 even before the scandal with Webber, it's no surprise so many hold a grudge.
1. The players should be paid
2. not many ( my guess is not one of you) would have turned down that much money as a teenager.
The main problem with the SEC is you never know how good or bad they really ar until bowl season. Every year we hear about how great the SEC is, some years they live up to it, some years their top defense gives up 400 rushing yards to Wisconsin.... This year the SeC has 1 complete team, followed by a few teams with good defenses and bad to terrible offenses (LSU, Florida, Georgia).
This just goes to show you why we need teams like Wisconsin, Northwestern, Iowa and Ohio state to win games and beef up our resume ( Penn State and MSU should never win another game until karma is satisfied)
I must be in the minority lol but, I'd take Rudock or Patterson over Henne. I think people get caught up because Henne was so good his freshman year ( for a freshman) but he never really improved from his freshman year. Statiscally, both Patterson and Rudock are killing Henne in just about every category that matter.
If Notre Dame loses to NW, they drop behind us. If we win out, we will have beat NW twice probably. Early season road losses do not matter as much as late season road losses.
Just pull for Michigan, nothing else matters. If Michigan wins out, no way they keep a 1 loss B1G champ out ( not to mention their only loss is to the current number 3).
I do want to rant a little bit though. A few weeks back Oregon beat Washington, during the broadcast, one of the announcers says, the pac 12 is pretty much done as far as the CFP goes. The reason ( he presumed Oregon would win the Pac-12) was how soft Oregon's non-conference schedule was. I just wondered have they looked at Alabama's non-conference schedule... or alabama's schedule period? Have they looked at Clemson's schedule? Clemson has a shot to make the CFP without beating a single top 25 team at season's end. How can you rank UCF at 9 because of a soft schedule and close win but, rank Clemson 2nd with just as soft of a schedule and a close win?
The question wasn't would you rather lose every game but, win the Osu game. It was beat OSU or win a national title. Every other year I'd say win a national championship easily but, man it's been a long dry spell VS. Ohio state

Was this the same brother who was posting negative stuff about the coaches after the Wisconsin loss?

I mean, I'm not sure what you expect when your offense fumbles the ball 20+ times through 6 games.

If the Patriots cut ties with you, your career in the NFL is over.
Funniest name I ever saw hands down was Anus Basher. I wouldn't suggest using Google to find him, you might be sifting through some shady sites.
Jabrill's Attorney, Shaggy when asked Jabrill's stance replied " It wasn't me"
But, the Glock was in the bag.... " It wasn't mine"
and the weed? " Wasn't me"
Must have been the guys who broke into his trucks personal possessions.
Shove that oar up your ... is a more fitting title lmao

If you have multiple potential first round picks, Scouts will be at the practices and games..... now if they don't practice or play....

Another good season ended poorly
and every announcer for every home game, That's not a boo, they're saying coooooop, for 3-4 years. hehe :D

This is the season, if he can play he will play.

Couldn't you just make a personalized jersey, number 4 with last name Harbaugh? How do they know you're not Steve Harbaugh

Secretly wondering how many generations it will take for some men to fully develop vaginas. Annnd down votes incoming but, it was worth it :D
If Auburn beats Texas A&M they'll be ranked in the top ten. I'm only half joking here.

Penn State had their heart ripped out by Ohio state and MSU kicked it a crossed the street.
Last time he offered a middle schooler a scholarship ( David Sills) it worked out alright.
If they aren't, they haven't been paying attention the last 12 years.
Nope, won't miss it in the slightest.
