I can't upload a photo of Gordon Gee as my avatar and I've tried several times even with it saved as a 85x85 image. Any possible help to get me a photo? 

I'm scared....

HARBAUGH!!!!  

Subs

What about the subs. I thought they were crazy yo.

Miller

We're unsure if we'll ever see Miller throw a ball, and its doubtful if we'll see him play WR or RB giving his china doll likelihood of being injured. Elevenwarriors had a good write up this week about Miller changing positions and where he would play. 

SEC recruiting

So that's how unnamed school recruits players... Wouldn't surprise me if more SEC schools had some slimy tactics. Sounds like a book worth the read if I can ever get free time for leisure reading. 

Bacon's Bible

I didn't get the chance to read three and out to know if Urban played by the rules or not but I'd be more than interested in knowing what he said in his book about Denard's recruitment. Go on!

Listen Kid

No one cares in Columbus... Nice try! 

Close Games

Explain this to me logically how you think because the last three years have been close games that now with JH at Michigan, that equals some push over the edge to win? 

Hoke games again Ohio State

2011- Michigan makes a critical stop on third down, OSU kicks a FG, Michigan plays solid defense to end the game, Braxton Miller over throws Posey (I still have that image in my mind) Michigan snaps the streak and rushes the field vs. a 6-6 Ohio State team. A .500 team.....

2012- A decent Michigan team gives OSU everything it can handle, OSU doesn't execute for most of the game but makes enough plays to win, Michigan doesn't cross the 50 yard line in second half, OSU has poor tackling, Michigan has no run game nor can stop Carlos Hyde

2013- Michigan fans melts down over Al "Uncle Fester" Borges as the offense is the worst ever, Michigan plays out of their mind, Ohio State has the worst secondary in school history as Devin has a career day passing for 600 yard (if I remember correctly), Borges throws the kitchen sink at OSU, Hyde has a fumble that could have put the game out of reach early, Michigan goes for two because they can't stop OSU run game, Michigan didn't execute the 2 point play, interception by Powell, OSU escapes...

2014- Hoke last game and throws the kitchen sink at OSU, Coach Funk last game (the offensive line development was terrible), Michigan has good tempo and paste on offense and survives an early punch by OSU, running of Joe Karriage (who was the RB that got injured) keeps Michigan in the game, he gets injured after tying the game, OSU explodes for points and wins 42-28, Hoke gone....

Hello: Jimmy! 

In so many of these games Michigan didn't executed and could have won. However, at the same time, OSU didn't execute (did enough to win) but had they been on point Michigan could have lost by more than scores of just 26-21, 42-41, or 42-28..... I guess it's a bad thing to have close games and win, unless 50-14 scores while going for three points, with the game in hand, is your thing. Did you want OSU to annihilate you to feel better about your team? That would be like OSU fans saying if we had Meyer in 2011 we could have beat Michigan because the game was "so close"....Urban Fricking Meyer!!!! 

Meyer has a great game plan set up and I'm sure JH will too. It may take him some time to recruit and get his players, it may not, but to think because the previous coach couldn't get it done and Michigan wasn't beat by a worst margin doesn't make sense.... 

But Harbuagh......

Best Players

Depends on how you define best players. Are we talking about the top 10 players in the state? Top 30? Top 50?  There is quite a bit of wiggle room and flexibilty for the interpretation of such.

What may have been better for Tressel to say is that even with the players Michigan got under Rod and Hoke is that there failed to be proper player deveopment even for guys who were elite coming out of school to guys who weren't in the upper eschelon of Ohio talent or in general. I've followed Hoke recruitment well but their is no way that if Kalis came to OSU he would be as slow to develope his technique as he is at Michigan... 

 

Fuck that game indeed

I was there in their student section during the loss. When a students comes up to you and says, "would you like some of the alcohol in my flask" you know things are bad.... Uggg!!! 

Uggg

This game sucks.... I'm gonna go rewatch our national championship game. Good game Blue... 

Well he's our asshole.

Furthermore he's doing something with his life to further his education (yeah I know he ain't come to play school), his NFL future and ambitions. Much better than not doing anything or wasting his life away like other people his age. What an asshole.... 

Rooting Interest

If the shoes were on the opposite feet, I woudn't root for Michigan to win. I'd be actively rooting for Michigan to lose just like I did in the title game vs. Louisville. I'm glad that the majority of Wolvies are rooting for us to lose and I wouldn't expect anything less. However, I'm surprise that there is no interest in playing a national champion and having history repeat. Hello 1969. So on Mondy get your chair, get some beer, get on MGoBlog and celebrate the defeat of Ohio State at the hands of the Ducks and the eternal meltdown if we lose... 

Jimmy H

I'm Wolvie obsessed... Triple post!

Jimmy H

I'm honestly shitting my pants... Not sure if I should be happy for ya, pissed or what. Phone is blowing up with text from Michigan Men estatic about the hire. I'll take the good with the bad and welcome Harbaugh. Gotta love his rich Republican-like smile...

We'll see ya on the field in Novermber....

The Secret

We execute...

Hokey Pokey

I like when Hoke gave out free donuts to the students before the noon games. Better than subs yo. 

Buckeye here but that was cool

The Michigan Difference

Peak

So you want them to peak at the end of the season then against the Bucks and not at the end of the season. Well aren't you just the spoiler Hoke. It's a trap! 

Nutcracker

And how exactly do you Crack my buckeyes? Why? And how long has this been going on...

I'm excited

:) 

Photo

My favorite photos include Boren over Devin, Wells running on Michigan defense in 07, Gardner on the ground after the pick in 13, and the look of the Michigan student section when Turner made that dagger in the BTT. Now that the trolling is done, when Trey Burke picked Appling that was amazing. Sparty No.

....

It took this long to find a reason to hate Ohio State? Where have you been..... 

I'm at WVU now.....

Don't you guys miss me and all my wiseass jokes! Those damn Catholics!

You're Welcome

See you in November!

Offensive Dropoff

 

Tell me, how should Ohio State fans should feel about the loss of 4 offensive linemen and our RB from last year. Should we be in panic now and melting down over the losses on offense? In midseason freakout form about the offensive line similar to how Michigan was about their offensive line throughout the middle of the season last year under Funk? Something else? 

I can't speak for all OSU fans but I'm sure most of us are more than calm about the future offensive line and running backs for the 2014 team. Based on what we've seen from Drayton (RB coach) and Warnier (OL coach) we're in good hands even if their is a lack of experienced upperclassmen. Pat showed his worth stepping in for Hall during the Michigan game and Big Ten championship. Decker will likely get moved to LT to replace Mewhort. Lindsay may likely get the start at center over Boren or Price given his experience at Bama which leaves the other guard and tackle position to be filled. My guess at the starting offensive line is: 

LT: Decker LG: Pat Center: Lindsay RG: Leslie RT: Baldwin/Underwood

This won't be the best OL and their will be a drop off but I expect to see something similar to what Bama experienced with a drop in OL performance but one that got better (minus the Sugar Bowl collaspe) throughout the season.

Running back wise Elliot, Ball, Smith or Dunn will split the snaps with Elliott likely emerging as the leader. While we won't have a RB carving up defenses with a power run game with Hyee.  I expect our RB production to shift to those similar at South Carolina or Georgia.  A speedy back that explodes through the hole and is elusive.  

Our coaches have proven themselves to develope talent and we will be just fine as we are in a patient wait and see mode. 

Oklahoma

Oklahoma while they may be overrated they are the only school to complete a BCS grand slam. So there is that.

Pointing Fingers

And who exactly is doing the negative recruiting and what are they saying about Michigan? 

I've seen this before...

Just because someone is a fan of the school they grew up liking doesn't mean jack shit in grand scheme of things. Players must make the best choice for themselves and I can't tell you how many times I've seen on this very site a player who grew up liking Ohio State and have a committable offer go to Michigan. This isn't exclusive to Michigan or Ohio State nor exhaustive as I'm sure it happens at other schools as well. 

Cooler Pooper

Damn,you got me. Fell for that link.

QB Graveyard

I know this story too well....

Next up Johnny?

Meh

Super cheesy but why is Hoke in the picture?  Chances are he won't be at Michigan by the time South graduates (IF he choses Michigan). With Hoke performance of late, he'll be long gone before the kid walks the stage.

Insert

They ain't come to play school. Classes are pointless. 

Bulletin board

If your players and coaches need locker room material for game of this magnitude then they should probably quit football.  Gosh that is one of the dumbest and overstated comments by people (not just you personally) on the internet. What's Hoke gonna do, print the tweet and place it in the lockers and on the white board? 

Case

What case? First time I'm hearing about this....

Is it true?

Michigan was trying to go after Amedeo?

Blue Blood Rushing

I certainly don't have a problem with it and I think too much is made out of it. Looking at the context of the victory,  UNC has been down this year. You get a win over a rival, rush the court. This is equally similar to when several students, including myself, rush the field after beating Russel Wilson Badgers. 

Similar to what others brought up about Indiana rushing the court vs. Wisconsin or Michigan rushing the field vs. Ohio State, it's all about the context of victory.  In both cases, Michigan and Indiana had lost several games in a row to the opposition. Thus getting a win in some time is a cause for celebration.

 

Hail

So now that we lost, how does one Hail to the Victors? 

Sigh. Need more beer.

Need more hate

I'm flattered by your hate for Ohio State.  Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Hate on!

Absence

Haha. Forgive me for my disappearance. My computer VGA card went out me and Mgoblog doesn't come up well on my phone. I should probably throw in that I've avoided the site while we've been getting slammed in basketball. Spare me the snark I guess, lol. 

Computer is back up now, ready to lurk and comment. 

Disagree

As a Buckeye I disagree. In some cases or a more specific case most know of, getting a tattoo is stupid.  #Tatted5 #Ipaidformytattoo #tatgate

84/85

Well we're down to one open spot if everyone signs LOI next month. Not sure who the last commit will be but I'm not holding my breathe on signing Lattimore and/or Smith. TBD.

Croots

If the Glenville dou commits, we will have one more player than we have room for of the 85 scholarship players. From then on, every additional player will require someone else to transfer or attrition. Other players OSU has interest in includes: Tony Brown, Solomon Thomas, and Malik McDowell. The only players OSU would have interest in from PSU are Gesick or Holley since these players were 50/50 before between us and PSU. Urban wants one more OL too but I doubt we get one. 

Coach

Why do Michigan fans hate Dantonio so much?

Gaps

I'm not commenting on how large or small the gap is but the metric you use to determine such is margin of defeat?  If so, then please tell me just how large the gap is between Michigan and Michigan State base on a 29-6 beat down.

WTF

How does this happen before the biggest game of Max career. Wow! 

Karma

First, I don't know how you can say I sound like Jim Tressel after I simply asked "Karma for what". The "hero" the players carried off the field, the guy who you say cheated most of his career,  the guy who beat....I'll stop right there. 

I'm not pretending the people in this story didn't do anything. I know my own fanbase and I hate most of them. I've seem a few, not all, make fools of themselves on the road from going to games in Madison to College Station.  I've also seen well manner fans as well, so I won't create an image that belies their innocence in Ann Arbor nor confirm what you think they did.

Lastly, there is Karma in order for running my damn mouth as to why you want to beat OSU next season? Lol. I think you might want to take up your karma problems with those Buckeyes you ran into, not a random poster on the Internet.  

The much larger point I was making is why did karma exist following a rivalry game. I guess I got my answer. See you in Columbus next year! 

The fanbase and shady ass recruiting in Columbus

I love how you try to paint an entire fan base with a label of acceptance for their previous coach behavior,  players, Urbz and their actions when in contrary,  others in the minority, like myself, aren't acceptive of what's happened. Yes we are all proud that Marcus issued the double birds to the Michigan crowd in the Big House s

aying fuck you. We're all proud of the tatted 5 and their actions to sell the things that they along with their other teammates worked for. We are glad that Hyde was back on the team after his actions at Sugar Bar or after Roby punched a bouncer in Bloomington. We were all cheering in the stands for Tressel. Yeah, because the only thing that matters in Columbus is winning. WIN AT ALL COST. JUST WIN BABY!!!! No need to label what things I've personally disagree with as it probably won't matter. I think you should reread Shaun's post in which he proves its ignorant to denigrate an entire fanbase, but what the hell. You're a Michigan fan, you'll have your judgements.

Also, show me a list of the dozens of players paid, that received improper benefits, cars, tats, jobs from boosters, and access to marjuiana, and I'll show you a roster of kids instrumental in beating Michigan 11 of the last 13 years. Competitive advantage my ass. Part of the problem isn't just the players you get, it's the coaching too which is a twofold street. That is unless you don't think there were Michigan Men in the program at the time as coaches and players. Maybe the Leaders and Best didn't execute or play "Michigan football" in that time frame either. Rich Rod fault...

/smartass :)

Merry Christmas!
