This video is freaking hilarious!

I thought, for a moment, that they were all going to dance Gangnam style together.

Is the hot chick BB's wife? The one he met on a blackjack table?

 I heard UW athletic dept

 

I heard UW athletic dept had nearly $40million in PROFIT last year, and we all know that majority of the profit is through football. $600k difference (plus let's say extra $1M for assistants) isn't much when this context is taken into account.

My guess is that, in BA's mind, BB was replaceable. I agree.

 
The line will be something

 

The line will be something like FSU -21.5.

And I will take NIU +21.5 any day.

Didn't Musburger sort of diss Woodson?

He brought up a table with #Tackles, #TFL, #INT for both Teo and Woodson and said "The most recent defensive player who won the Heisman was Charles Woodson... and compare him to Teo." Of course, Teo has twice as many tackles because he is a CB fergodsakes. I like Manti, but let me know when Manti plays offense and special team as well ... and when he scores a few TD's.

Agreed. That thing on our shoulder last year was not a monkey. It was a gigantic male gorilla humping on you. Thank God we got rid of it.

Campbell is not a great QB anyways, but he had no chance tonight at all behind that horrible O line. OTOH, niner's QB looked like Tom Brady with speed. He was really really good.

Maybe this is a reaction to the MooU's move to ACC. :)

MooU out, MD/RU in.... not bad IMO.

 Fund management industry

 

Fund management industry uses percentage points rather than absolute amounts for performance comparison. When they say "Harvard got hit hard during the recent financial crisis," that means their loss in percentage points is large, not the absolute amount itself.

I was asking because of Bluesnu's comments on "greater investment in divergent areas which may have a higher risk/return," which sounds counter-intuitive to me. That's the opposite of modern portfolio theories, I believe.

 
You sound pretty

 

You sound pretty knowledgeable about this topic. But IIRC, isn't the idea behind diversifying exactly the opposite of what you just mentioned? I thoght, in general, you can reduce your risk by diversification.

- As another poster pointed

 

- As another poster pointed out, MSU/NEB was definitely OVER. Don't ask me why I remember so well.

- If I bet on NW, I would buy some points to go with NW +14. I don't think we can beat NW by 2TDs, with our without Denard.

- Minn covers and wins. Minny is getting better and better as Nelson takes more snaps and Barker getting healthier.

- Indiana covers. TD, Houston.

- Iowa covers. I never underestimate that pink room.

 

- Oregon, aka the cover machine, will cover.

 

 

 
I agree that Bellomy is not

 

I agree that Bellomy is not that slow. In the Neb game and in high school highligts, the kid got some speed, especially for his size.

 
Bellomy is a RS frosh. His

 

Bellomy is a RS frosh. His sub is a 5 star junior QB with more game time expreience (who actually takes some snaps during practice as well). If I were Bellomy, I wouldn't feel discouraged so much by being substituted.

 Where on earth am I burning

 

Where on earth am I burning Bellomy? Learn to READ before making comments.

I find it ridiculous that many of you ASSUME that Bellomy is so fragile and his confidence will be totally killed after one bad outing. You are the one who's treating Bellomy like a girl, when I presume that he is a man enough to take it and move on.

 
Most of us with his right

 

Most of us with his right mind is blaming coaches, not the poor kid who was thrown into a bad bad situation.

 
We may have saved Bellomy's

 

We may have saved Bellomy's mental, but the mojo of the entire Michigan offense is now crushed likely along with our Rose Bowl bid. Is Bellomy's mental so imporant to sacrifice all this? I don't agree.

 

BTW, why do you really think Bellomy's mental is so fragile?  If so, Bellomy might have preferred being pulled out of the misery he was in.  I would argue that 3-14 (or something) with 3 interception will actually do more harm.

 Well, when Bellomy was in,

 

Well, when Bellomy was in, we were not really running fancy schemes with bells and whistles. As coaches mentioned after the game, we ran simple schemes to get Bellamy in rhythm. Why can we not do this with DG when Bellomy was failing miserably, even if he didn't take enough number of snaps during practice? (According to interviews, Devin DID take some snaps during the week.)  Do we really think a 5-star QB with more gametime experience will not be able to throw basic pass? I cannot really buy this "Since Borges' scheme is heavily based on complexity, a QB without enough practice cannot play in game time." argument.

 

Besides, if Bellomy is so fragile and his mental was going to be totally destroyed if yanked out in the middle of the game, I bet he is not a real QB material at this level.

 
C'mon. That game came down

 

C'mon. That game came down to an onside kick. It's close enough in a SHOOT OUT.

 I have short and short

 

I have short and short answers for you.

 

Without Denard or with not-so-healthy Denard: No, Michigan will lose the game.

With healthy Denard: Michigan wins. Michigan's D can put up a fight againt OSU offense, but OSU's D cannot. Keep in mind. Michigan's offense is much more potent than any stats show, with healthy Deanrd. Oh yeah... our team gells, too.

 
As of now, Denard is still

 

As of now, Denard is still recovering.

Our backup QB is Michigan's version of Bauserman. Do you think Bauserman can beat Miller? Right. I didn't think so.

 Denard gets injured, and

 

Denard gets injured, and DG's shoulder is ready to take snaps?

I am not naive enough to believe such a coincidence. Besides, recent (post-Neb game) interviews indicate that DG took some snaps during the past week but didn't take "enough" snaps to sub Bellomy.

 

Above all, do you really believe that DG was healthy enough to play WR but not so much to throw a ball? Separated shoulder injury usually occurs/aggravates due to sudden impact on your shoulder, and WR's take sh** loads of hits and impacts. Do you think they would clear DG to play WR if he has a seprated shoulder, severe enough to keep him from throwing?

 Basically debunks all the

 

Basically debunks all the speculations that DG's shoulder injury was what kept him from the QB job last Sat. We all know separated shoulder or simiar injuries don't heal overnight. DG should be our 2nd string QB on the depth chart and  should start taking more snaps no matter how Denard feels. We learned this hard way.

 But it would certainly

 

It would certainly limit Denard in his rushing no matter how severe the inury is, at least for a few weeks. You do not want to keep Denard hitting the ground with his right elbow in the near future. What bothered me most was that he didn't do anything on the sideline during the game, which means that the damage could be rather severe.

It still pains me that NW

 

It still pains me that NW gave away the Neb game.

Road to Pasadena could have been much easier for us.

 
Denard might be a bad QB,

 

Denard might be a bad QB, but you are obviously the dumbest coach out there. 

Thanks for your lengthy contribution on the board, which none of us really go through all the way. LMAO.

Remind him that it was a 3rd down attempt, not 4th.

One thing I learned as a

 

One thing I learned as a Michigan fan is "Don't underestimate the power of that pink locker room."

 
How did that "experience

 

How did that "experience coaching similar talent in Taylor Martinez and in running a similar scheme" turned out last year?

 
I am not talking about

 

I am not talking about talent levels. I'm just talking about numbers in ND and MSU games in 2011 and 2012. We moved the ball much better in 2012. Yet, our RZ performance is worse. That's what the numbers indicate. You may say that it's just the randomness in the game, but I disagree.

 
That's why I said "on

 

That's why I said "on paper". While Molk/Koger/Hemingway are all gone, the D's that we face is, IMO, not really as stingy as in 2011 (except Bama). We moved the ball much better againt ND and MSU this year compared to 2011. Our OL overall is doing better than I expeted, and Dileo/Funchess/others are stepping up. Yet, our RZ efficiency basically plummeted. Missing so many opportunity in the RZ is becoming a trend, which concerns me.

 
Oh, Kate. We love you.

 

Oh, Kate. We love you.

 
I am sure Douchetonion gave

 

I am sure Douchetonion gave his kicker an option to fake, depending on our formation. Our boys were totally outnumbered on the righthand side of the kicker, and they just executed.

 IMO, it doesn't matter

 

IMO, it doesn't matter whether it is inside their own 20 or not. Aside from giving away TO's, worst thing that can happen when covering punts is allowing them to get a new set of downs. You should ALWAYS be prepared for fakes upon punting. That's the bottom line. Our special team was totally at the wrong place at the wrong time for that play.

 
Dantonio simply out-douched

 

Dantonio simply out-douched himself.

He thought he could end the game with his pathetic O.

BAHAHAHAHAHAH

 
Looking at the direction

 

Looking at the direction two programs are heading, nobody hear really worry about mini Bullough's that you guys are bringing in. They will hear about good old days MSU beat Michigan from his brother.

Me think... We, as Michigan fans, should sincerely thank all the brunette girls out there. 

Charles Woodson

 

I missed Woodson at 3:22 while I watched the game.

The situation reminded me of the catch.

Well, on paper, our offense

Well, on paper, our offense is as good as in 2011. Against ND and today, things looked good until we hit the red zone. To me, this sounds more like an X's and O's issue in the red zone againt stout D.

Again, I believe Borges is a competent coordinator. But he seems to have some wrinkles in his O to think about.

 
I don't have issues with

 

I don't have issues with his play calling. But I have to ask Borges about our red zone efficiency. Crossing out the FG's, we really suck in this category against decent D. We seemed to move the ball all right up until the red zone and then we literally suck. NO TD's against ND & MSU. WTF?

 
Do you recall all the shits

 

Do you recall all the shits he had to take in his first year?

What a turnaround!!! Way to go, Gibbons. You are a gamer.

We beat these suckers and will be officially out of the Rich Rod dark age.

Beat the packers. (not that packers...)

 Man, Harbaugh just declined

 

Man, Harbaugh just declined safety. Game over at 13-6 SF. Would have been 15-6 if he had.

 I think the spread was 7 or 8.  LOL

It was the right call, but a lot of people should be freaking upset.

He's just teasing us. I will pass.

I live there. I saw Amaker once (and once only).

I realized that it was him after we passed each other.

I'm hoping to say hello next time I see him.
