have hated every coach they've ever had, even Sabin.  There currently at least 3 sites/blogs dedicated to fireing Les Miles.

Tiggerdroppings closes down during and after the games for a few hours.  'cool down' time probably.

From the gist of what I did read their fans are wondering why they can't be elite like Bama.

He cares not about championships or records, just playing perfect football.  They played an almost perfect second half, hence, he was happy for the first time ever due to a game.  Happier than after any BCS championship.  Crazy mofo.

Pitt was clearly a half of a yard short.  Seems like refs have been horrible this year spotting across college football, and worse yet it was somehow upheld on replay.

Still like to simple things like that be called right though. It was clear on the replay that he was at least a half a yard short. Spot was wrong by a full yard.The fact that the replay booth didn't change it even though it was clearly wrong is even worse. I don't remember seeing a year since I have been watching college football where spots have been wrong this often.

Not that the odds were in ND's favor even if they  would have got the ball back with 20-30 seconds on the clock, but still a game shouldn't end on a spot that is clearly wrong.

Just attack, attack, attack, never stop pressuring the defense with base plays and constraints for everything to keep them from cheating.  What I love about it is that it's got a defined philosophy.  I like that about Stanford and Alabama, too, not just spread teams-- I like when there's a commitment to a philosophy and some evidence that offensive football is not just isolated plays.

I was thinking about all that when I read postgame comments from Nebraska defenders describing how they always knew what was coming.  Jeebus.

the offense moving the ball fairly well in that 2010 game against OSU. The problem was they sabotaged their own drives in that game with  turnovers, penalties, etc.

He's right though, about UM's offense lacking any kind of coherence in playcalling that you see with the more well run offenses in the country.

ever not win the national title again? They fricken run the ball, i hate the SEC but am beginning to like watching Bama. They are so well coached, their offensive line just dominates. although it sounds like Saban may listen to Texas in the offseason.
