I do love me some michigan classics, but not when live college football is on for first time in 8 months
August 30th, 2012 at 10:30 PM ^
Random and I don't have enough points to start a topic, but did anyone see that Floyd Mayweather has bet 3 million dollars for the game on Saturday? He's got a lot of problems, but money aint one of em.
August 30th, 2012 at 10:33 PM ^
I believe that is now $9 million. This one time that we can point to the 100 point limit and say it worked...
August 30th, 2012 at 10:48 PM ^

!
EDIT: A multi-function remote control + PC streaming shouldn't be overrated IMO.
August 30th, 2012 at 10:38 PM ^
Live football on ESPN NOW!!
August 30th, 2012 at 10:45 PM ^
One of the most amazing performances I've ever witnessed by a Michigan quarterback...
August 30th, 2012 at 10:45 PM ^
too.
MN vs. UNLV
August 30th, 2012 at 11:40 PM ^
and the Air Raid offense is live on tv. Forget the 12-year old game.
August 30th, 2012 at 11:49 PM ^
UNLV unis are fucking repugnant.
August 30th, 2012 at 11:54 PM ^
I think that If I ever get to 100 points my first thread will be "2000 orange bowl and 2012 UTL on youtube now!!!"
August 31st, 2012 at 12:02 AM ^
So, I'm on a train to DC, so i figured i'd post this here...
I keep hearing "Michigan is hoping this game against Alabama will help restore them to national prominence..."
In all reality, last year was a more successful season in many ways than any year I experienced as a student at michigan (2002 season through 2005 season). Yes, we went to a couple of rose bowls, but came up short. Last year's team actually won a BCS bowl game. Didn't last year's team already establish that Michigan is back?

You're right, must be the goose islands i had before hopping on the train. But, in all seriousness, I find that statement absolutely annoying, figured I'd throw the challenge flag on that statement. Or at least get others to think about it and provide their opinion.
August 31st, 2012 at 12:40 AM ^
Poor Minnesota. They try to schedule a game on a Thursday to gain a little exposure, and they get buried in this timeslot on a channel a lot of people don't get.
Can you imagine how much it would suck if our game were on right now, and might not end until after 2:00 a.m. on a weeknight? Thank goodness we're an A-list football program.
August 31st, 2012 at 12:50 AM ^
They were too a long time ago. Before 1935, Michigan's season finale was against minnesota because that was THE rivalry. The teams were so good.
But then, loads of horrible hires ruined their program and they've been wandering the wilderness for nearly 60 years.
August 31st, 2012 at 1:07 AM ^
They did have one good hire - Glen Mason. They never, ever should have let him go. He gave that program an identity and got them into bowl games on an annual basis. And that was when they were still playing in the Metrodome. With their new stadium he might have been able to step it up in recruiting. He should still be on their sidelines.
August 31st, 2012 at 2:07 AM ^
This, this, a thousand times this. Last year on the metro, while Gopherquest was still very much alive, I actually saw a Minnesota fan still wearing a "Fire Mason" T-shirt. I couldn't believe he still thought that was a good move. That really has to go down in history as one of the worst hiring/firing decisions of all time.
August 31st, 2012 at 12:06 AM ^
Also - is MN offense looking good, or UNLV defense that bad? I'm leaning towards the latter, because, obviously, gophers. Could have potential though.
August 31st, 2012 at 12:19 AM ^
August 31st, 2012 at 1:56 AM ^
Don't worry. Minnesota is still terrible.
August 31st, 2012 at 12:36 AM ^
August 31st, 2012 at 12:45 AM ^
From the bits and pieces I have seen, the MN RB doesn't look terrible so far. I don't know if this is a product of the UNLV defense or him being actually pretty decent.
August 31st, 2012 at 12:50 AM ^
August 31st, 2012 at 1:53 AM ^
August 31st, 2012 at 1:58 AM ^
I admit it. I have a problem. I missed watching UNLV late night games. vs. Minnesota is a bonus.
10-10 tie middle of 4th.
August 31st, 2012 at 1:58 AM ^
Whenever I see the yellow "FINAL" score sign at the bottom I automatically think there is a flag on the play. Damn you CBS Sports.
August 31st, 2012 at 1:59 AM ^
Man, the offseason got to me more than I thought. I'm still watching this game.
August 31st, 2012 at 2:04 AM ^
Minnesota still can't stop the run.
August 31st, 2012 at 2:11 AM ^
13-13 2:39 remaining
August 31st, 2012 at 2:24 AM ^
19-13 UNLV OT. It's TD or die for Minnesota, or close enough. Play under review.
August 31st, 2012 at 2:29 AM ^
August 31st, 2012 at 2:30 AM ^
i don't know how they only put up 13 in regulation. they had 430 yds of offense.
August 31st, 2012 at 2:33 AM ^
Minnesota scores a TD on first play in 2OT.
August 31st, 2012 at 2:33 AM ^
August 31st, 2012 at 2:35 AM ^
Not another late hit!
August 31st, 2012 at 2:37 AM ^
August 31st, 2012 at 2:37 AM ^
minnesota has had 11 freaking penalties. that is crazy
August 31st, 2012 at 2:38 AM ^
August 31st, 2012 at 2:39 AM ^
UNLV scores a TD on 4th and 6. 3OT!?
August 31st, 2012 at 2:40 AM ^
August 31st, 2012 at 2:40 AM ^
UNLV's uniforms are every bit as big a reason to root for Minny as as is the fact that Minny is a B1G school.
August 31st, 2012 at 2:41 AM ^
I heard Scarlet & Gray mentioned on the PA. Drink!
August 31st, 2012 at 2:40 AM ^
I'm so glad that I live on the West Coast... This is great!
August 31st, 2012 at 2:40 AM ^
this is a pretty exciting set of ot's. nice way to cap off the opening night of football
August 31st, 2012 at 2:42 AM ^
August 31st, 2012 at 2:43 AM ^
Minny INT returned 40 yards. FG wins for the B10.
August 31st, 2012 at 2:44 AM ^
Everytime I see a QB throw an INT in overtime, I have a flashback to the '09 MSU game.
August 31st, 2012 at 2:51 AM ^
No doubt in my mind we should have gone for 2 after we scored with what like 4 seconds left? Go for 2 and play to win the game.
August 31st, 2012 at 2:46 AM ^
UNLV ices the kicker. Come on you Gophers!
