If we were playing North Texas or Navy or Fla Atlantic how much more enjoyable this game would be ...
September 1st, 2012 at 10:02 PM ^
North Texas actually has scored 7 on LSU defense

I never thought this game should have been scheduled, even after last year. I just didn't think we were ready. But not even I was expecting this.
My main fear for the past year was our running game going nowhere and Denard throwing up prayers that are begging to get picked off. But his two picks so far haven't been prayers, they have been RIGHT to Bama receivers.
At this point, I'm more worried about Denard's shoulder than this game.

say blue charge? Ah yes... I remember reading about that... "The Charge of the Light Brigade"... That was where the Light Brigade of the British Cavalry, was annihilated during the Battle of Balaclava. Sounds about right.

I have heard that, "Scheduling games like this, tells us where we are as a program." If so... I am afraid, very afraid.
September 1st, 2012 at 9:57 PM ^
I think I see the wisdom of Wisconsin's and Nebraska's traditional out-of-conference scheduling approach.

Instead of feasting on a cupcake, they are getting to see what the team will look like after 2 more Hoke recruiting classes. This year's seniors have seen the depth of despair while we hoped and prayed just to make a bowl. They've come a long way, but this team isn't ready for the promised land.
No doubt a game like this prepares the players and the coaches to own the B10. We're not there yet, but this game makes more more confident that Michigan will be playing in the Rose Bowl this year and BCS bowls until the BCS goes away.

You really need to explain, where you see this team as being Rose Bowl bound...

After 1 year of Hoke was a terrible idea .... I could understand it 2014 but this was way to soon... I will always be an advocate of playing cupcakes to prepare for the season , to groom younger players getting them some PT and to work out the kinks ...You just dont do this to a team that really isnt on Bama's level

The game was scheduled in 2010 while RichRod's squads were putting up the worst records in school history. The theory was we would be better by Denard's senior year...which is true. But certainly not good enough to challenge Bama.

You must be watching a different game than I am. What channel is your game on?

...is wrong with you?
You think we can get back in? What have you been watching? They don't have to throw another pass if they don't want. They are averaging 5 yards per rush...BEFORE FIRST CONTACT!
In the words of Herm Edwards, "Hello!"
I appreciate your spirit, but damn, man, wake up.

The negative ongoing complaining posts sound like the old guys sitting behind me in my section.
"God dammit Bernard...pass the ball...run the ball...do better."
September 1st, 2012 at 10:10 PM ^
ROFL. You sound like a sparty from the old days.
September 1st, 2012 at 10:03 PM ^
...and this has probably been mentioned, but...
CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY IT MAKES ANY SENSE TO NOT GIVE THE FOOTBALL TO YOUR MOST EXPLOSIVE PLAYER?!?
Al is trying to show how smart he is instead of doing his #1 job: get the ball to your playmakers. Two carries for Denard is not only inexcusable, it is criminal.
September 1st, 2012 at 10:03 PM ^
I really wanted to believe Michigan had a shot at this game and they did, but I didn't think they'd get steam rolled the way they are. I just want to see Michigan come out in the second half and put up some points.
September 1st, 2012 at 10:08 PM ^
Has the ball every play ... Borges cant make him pull the ball down and decide to run ... He has gave the ball off on EVERY read play that has been called..He has forced almost every thro instead of pulling it down and running ...This is Timid Denard we saw in games last year
September 1st, 2012 at 10:03 PM ^
September 1st, 2012 at 10:06 PM ^
I understand this is very discouaging but three things
1. the game isn't over, much time left.
2. Alabama is BY FAR the best team michigan is going against this year
3. Special Teams and O-Line seems solid
September 1st, 2012 at 10:06 PM ^
Holding out hope we can do something in the 2nd half .... Less passing more running
DENARD stop handing off on every read play
September 1st, 2012 at 10:07 PM ^
Those weren't read plays.
September 1st, 2012 at 10:06 PM ^
September 1st, 2012 at 10:08 PM ^
Without the 2 TOs its only 17-7....
