Unfortunately Delaney was…

Unfortunately Delaney was such a total OSU ass kisser. He never did Michigan any favors. I could not see him nor Warren trying to take us down during the season.

People in grocery stores who pull their cart from the side taking up twice the amount of space in an aisle. They are designed to be pushed from behind..........you moron! 

Brandon Watson was a 4.6 40…

Brandon Watson was a 4.6 40 corner and OSU ran crossing patterns with their fastest receivers (4.3) all day long. Game over. Don Brown had no counter.

I'd don't remember Gill per say (viper?). But the Brandon Watson mismatch was beyond obvious. 

That horror has been forever indelibly etched into my mind.

1947 Chicago Cardinals NFL / Notre Dame NCAA (AP)

1952 Detroit Lions NFL / MSU NCAA  (AP, UPI)

I consider  Notre Dame close enough to Chicago though not in the same state.

 

Excuse-making whiner…

Excuse-making whiner. Obviously followed the lead of his head coach. I'm shocked at his instant success, since he wasn't a captain and he obviously was not a leader.

He is the antithesis of a Michigan Man. We never hear any Michigan players giving excuses; only accepting accountability.

We'll see how he handles adversity and pressure. He's still enjoying his immediate and somewhat surprising NFL success. He just suffered a concussion. What happens after his next one?

 

They're insanely jealous of…

They're insanely jealous of the size of our fan base. Spartys are always proclaiming that "at least our fans attended our school"!

And once upon a time, prior to Dantonio, I would root for MSU in the bowl games. My sister and  three brother-in-laws are spartys. But after the Dantonio shit, never again under any circumstance. I never boasted about the team, ever criticized sparty in their presence. And then when MSU started beating us, the brother-in-law, who is not a sports fan of any sort, starts giving me shit. What a classless butthead! 

I found it particularly amusing that I know a Wayne State grad (married to my brother-in-law's cousin) that was a Sparty fan and have seen him wear a sparty sweatshirt in my presence!

I've been waiting for me to encounter some butt-hurt sparty directing that fan statement to me so that I can put them in their place!

Now, I fear it will never happen!

He's a natural at playing a whiney bitch!

He took on the mindset of his mentor and college coach. Nothing is ever his fault!

I'm happy that the fans did not have to endure what I went through at the Georgia game in Miami.

We sat fairly low in the upper deck around the 20. The sight lines were great but the PA presentation was awful. Broadcasting bs Orange bowl awards every break. Fake piped-in hype music was way too loud and annoying. I'd rather hear the real crowd noise. Their band played nonstop but was pretty muted. Both bands needed to be supplementary enhanced a little to be heard better.

Georgia's domination, of course didn't help.

I would never go to the Orange Bowl again under any circumstance!

Ohio State Butteyes:

Where 5-star Me players go to play!

Funny how Ryan Day has yet to figure out that a running mobile QB was always Michigan's kryptonite! He still thinks it the crossing patterns.

I hope he is just like Don Brown and is too stubborn to adapt.

The team culture and…

The team culture and coaching are outstanding and is a big boost in performance. We play a lot of players and our depth protects us from injury and wears down the opposition. We did not build the incredible depth until covid with additional eligibility and a strategic assist from the portal. So far this appears to be a sustainable model going forward.

I also think that Harbaugh has followed the Beilein model of recruiting high character kids from strong families. It takes a while to build this in football. Harbaugh is a players' coach who NEVER throws players or coaches under the bus! It's always on him! How can the players not love him for that! And he lives by his own genuineness of competition and getting better everyday.

We might have to pony up for a 1-2 year portal QB, if required, to fill in a gap. Think Jake Rudock. ND seems to be able to do this as of late. One has to be the right fit to work with THE TEAM.

Look at OSU, starting QB and WR leaving your team through the portal! These are me-players and quazi pro teams with a toxic fan base. I understand when players who don't play leave, but.........  And surprisingly, Day has not figured out to apply our depth and locker room model advantage and incorporate the use of a mobile QB. His stubbornness will be his downfall.

Not surprised about Dante Moore. He took the money before! Sounds like all the hollow quotes we have heard from recruits about our academics in the past.

 

 

An early loss in the season…

An early loss in the season is always discounted versus a loss late in the season. Especially if you start the season with an inexperienced quarterback, as Bama did in Milroe. The Milroe playing now is far superior to the one that started the season!

Not a surprise to me.

Great wolverine experience…

Great wolverine experience at the Detroit Zoo

I went to the zoo in february with my son's grade school class as a parent group leader. The wolverine was spooked by the beeping of a front end-mover backing up on the walkway adjacent to his environ. It shot up a 40-foot tree in milliseconds. Truely a.....mazing!

Any other time I went to the zoo it was always sleeping in his rock den because it was the coolest place it could find.

Yea but Urban is a lying piece of shit who chose to hide behind his wife's skirt. There's no fucking way he did not know of the abuse through his wife!

Giving up lots of 5 yard…

Giving up lots of 5 yard runs on first down was driving me crazy.

But we still held them in check.

I think all of their holding negated our pass rush.

We could have put the game…

We could have put the game away earlier if we used play action passes, especially after we broke a couple of those bigger runs.

Pretty stupid getting JJ hurt on a 2nd and 17 run. That took the JJ possible run off the table and made it a slugfest.

So someone takes his helmet off (Barrett or Colson) after it looked like we got the game ending pick and they give us a 15-yard penalty. What is the point of that penalty rule? Taunting?

I'm worried about our tackles in pass protection. No championship with that deficiency! 

What was particular annoying…

What was particular annoying was that the exact same hit occurred in the USC-UCLA game and was not flagged!

 

If Steinbrenner wasn't dead,…

If Steinbrenner wasn't dead, I'm sure he would have been behind this. He hired Drew Henson away to stop Michigan in the past. That evil cad!

Someone in the NCAA is a f****** Buckeye. They want Harbaugh out. He has humiliated Buckeye nation these past two years and is on script to do it again this year. He called out their coach and there is nothing they can do about it ..............without the help of the NCAA!

Jim Harbaugh is a devout…

Jim Harbaugh is a devout catholic. I'm sure he forgot about the incident.

He is obviously appalled that he is being called a LIAR!

The fact that the NCAA made a big deal about this is beyond sad.

Manning had an injury that restricted him from throwing deep. This allowed Nebraska to load up and cover all the short passes. No contest!

Wheatley / Biakabatuka

Wheatleys - 15 c / 225 yd rose bowl while experiencing cramping was beyond belief. Love that superman hands on hips pose!

Biakabatuka - 37 c / 313 yd vs. OSU 

 

Dickerson / James - SMU

McFadden / Jones - Arkansas - 487 yds vs # 23 south carolina, both 1st round draft picks

 

We need to end this shootout…

We need to end this shootout nonsense! If score is tied it should be determined by shots on goal during the game! The better team during the game wins. Reward aggressiveness!

There would never be any ties!

Saw him at Hill Auditorium…

Saw him at Hill Auditorium in my freshman year at UM in the spring of 1971!

Got his greatest hits album through Record Club of America. We would sign up friends in the dorm and get 4 free albums. All you had to do is buy 4 albums in 2 years at regular club prices which were still less than the typical list prices. It was a great way to build your collection and got exposed to a lot of great groups that we would otherwise not have heard at great prices - James Gang (with Joe Walsh), King Crimson (with Lake from Emerson, Lake and Palmer), Spirit, Traffic (with Stevie Winwood), Yes, and James Taylor, to name a few. Plus all the stalwarts of the time, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Crosby, Stills and Nash.

I just happened to be at the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum on the 30th anniversary weekend of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald at Whitefish Point in the UP. I was up there because I was meeting with JW Wells State (close to Menominee) Park staff on Friday reviewing the design of a new interpretive center. It was cold, the wind was blowing, and there were cross currents. You could visualize the danger.

An insincere apology, that…

An insincere apology, that will teach them.......what? Community service is worthless as the primary form of punishment; Secondary maybe. Need to throw the bums in jail, even for a short period, maybe a weekend, to put the fear of God in them!

Maybe that would have helped raper Appling see the errors of his ways! Didn't work for Winston though.

I'm tired of the coddling of athletes.

Scott Frost and Nebraska…

Scott Frost and Nebraska fans are being punished for whining in 1997 and stealing 1/2 of our national championship!

GOD works in mysterious ways!

Great site lines!

But …

Great site lines!

But ...............the PA system and the pumped-in music was PAINFULLY too loud and virtually inaudible. All the artificial BS that makes the pro football experience second rate to the college one was on display. Toward the end of the game, they finally appeared to turn the PA down enough to make it tolerable.

This game was important enough to not require this artificial garbage.

You can't even hear the bands play during the game. They need to be amplified.

Constant "no one gives a shit" BS Orange Bowl / Capital One presentation awards to anybody ever associated with the orange bowl game ..................over its entire life was broadcast during every TV timeout. Only a couple had relevance to the fans and their respective schools. Lloyd Carr got an Orange Bowl Hall of Fame award and there was feel good story about a young Georgia fan.

Best positives:

It appeared from the colors in the crowd that 2/3 of the crowd were UM fans!

Great tailgating aura prior to the game! 

 

Don't sit on the Utes!

They…

Don't sit on the Utes!

They started the season 1-2 with a transfer QB because their starter was hurt.

If OSU's flu excuse is BS, they are going to get their ass kicked again!

You notice Day wasn't making any lame excuses. And you can't tell me that after focusing on Michigan 365 days a year they would somehow not show up for The Game. Yea, they probably took us lightly after they creamed Sparty. They're wussies. Punch them in the mouth and they are not tough enough to respond. I'm tired of that young team BS excuse too. That might mean something early in the season ................but not at the end.

If their weak-ass off. tackle was a MAN he would want to redeem himself on national TV and become sought-after in the upcoming draft. He probably won't even show up for any All-star games!

How could anybody criticize…

How could anybody criticize UM's offer?   And...........they accepted!

 

The Utes are going to whip…

The Utes are going to whip their sorry asses. They have never been to a Rose Bowl and have manhandled Oregon twice. They started the season 1-2 because their starting QB was out and had to start a transfer QB. The Utes are probably the most underrated team in the country. They lost 1 very close game on the road in the middle of the season.

Help needed from Mgoblog rulebook officionados!

Have yet to find "when are you down" definition in NCAA online rulebook.

 

When googled I got various answers from unofficial sources:

1) any body part other then foot or hand

2) knee or forearm

3) knee, elbow, hip, head, or wrists

 

It looked like possibly the "side of the calf" to me; Not the "shin" as called.

 

I agree with Brian Cook…

I agree with Brian Cook. Bring JJ in when in the red zone. His running threat is a plus. He sure can't be any worse @ passing into the end zone since we don't trust Cade to do it.
