  1. Tate Forcier looking like Cutler today. 4 interceptions to go along with a fumble in the end zone that resulted in a OSU touchdown.
  2. That doesn't surprise me, although I didn't see the play. On a kick return the Ohio State defender led with his helmet and hit the Michigan player in the helmet going full speed. Both players were slow getting up. Millen said something like "now that's just good football."
  3. So, is the season over yet? #-o
  4. Of course. You never see a writer being called out for the crap they write, and they end up bringing traffic to their websites.
  5. Steelers Fan drugged, blinded by Bears fan after Bears/Steelers game in September
  6. Tate Forcier and Brandon Graham have guaranteed victory this weekend against OSU. It's gonna be hilarious when we get beat by 3 scores.
  7. Yes, it's all very clever.
  8. I saw that Harbaugh is getting an extension at Stanford. I remember him being eliminated early in the coach search at Michigan. Was that because UM wanted a bigger name or did Harbaugh take himself out early? Harbaugh has burned every bridge possible with Michigan. I don't think he'd ever have a chance to coach at U of M. Rich Rod is still the guy, and I'm still excited for the future. The attrition that Michigan has gone through because of the switch in systems (and Lloyd Carr's lack of recruiting his last few years) is the biggest problem for Michigan right now. They only have 72 players on scholarship when you're allowed to have 85. They're playing 2, sometimes 3, walk-ons on defense. 70% of the team is either fresh/soph. 11 of the starters are either fresh/soph, including a freshman QB. It's young and lacking depth. They'll be fine in a few years. Scout's recruiting ranking for UM '03-'08: 8, 5, 2, 9, 10, 6. And that's with 20-23 guys each year. Unlike some schools in the South, this rankings aren't based on having 32-33 guys, knowing that 5-7 aren't going to make it. Carr left Dick Rod with some quality players, including the #2 overall QB in the '07 class. The players just didn't fit the spread offense. Defense is by far the biggest problem for U of M right now. If you look between 2005 and 2009, Michigan recruited 48 people on the defensive side of the ball. Only 28 still remain on the roster. That's almost a 50% attrition rate. Michigan has only 28 scholarship players on defense! That's insane. In contrast, Ohio State has 46 scholarship athletes on defense. Penn State has 40. Notre Dame has 36. Michigan has 0 fifth-year seniors, and only 50% of the 2006 class left, meaning the defense is loaded with unexperienced players, which is why they're forced to start 2 walk-on players. That #2 QB (Mallett) was planning on transferring no matter if Carr was staying or not because he was not getting along with his teammates. He was forced to start some of his freshman year by the way because there were no experience QB's between Henne and him. There was one scholarship QB on the roster last season in Threet (who has since transferred away) with 2 walk-ons behind him. You now have Forcier and Denard Robinson as the only scholarship QB's on the roster this season, both of whom are freshman. Still, the offense is leading the Big Ten in scoring, so the offense looks solid. Seriously with the Dick Rod?

  10. Final game in the 2nd disaster of a season in a row. Michigan could get bowl eligible with a win, but no chance.
  11. Woodson is awesome. I wish Michigan could have him back on defense.
  12. Haha. This is some hilarious challenge work going on in the Dallas/GB game.
  13. Wait, why can't Dallas challenge that? Are the SEC refs working this game?
  14. Cowboys are toast.
  15. Peterson is pretty good.
  16. Looking at the schedule, it looks like there are only a few more games left.
  17. I also think most ND haters (myself included) would agree that they got completely screwed by that "fumble" call last night.
  18. Manny Harris is really good. He scored only the 2nd triple-double in Mich history last night. I'm excited to watch Michigan bball this season. They have some quality depth and some exciting freshman, as well as Harris and Sims. Should be very exciting.
  19. I hope so. [expletive] Ohio State.
  20. Nice work, Ferentz.
  21. It's embarrassing.
  22. I seriously can't believe Iowa ran out the clock with a minute left when they only needed about 40 yards for a field goal. They're gonna pay for it now.
  23. No, it's not.
  24. Jesus. What a pansy call by Ferentz.
  25. Why are you running the ball with a minute left? That's terrible.
