Will the reporters grill Brady Hoke about him giving up at halftime? 

After he spews his bullshit about how hard the team played and stuff, will someone point out that he gave up then? And when he evades the question, just keep asking it over and over again?

If they score really fast on their 2nd half possessions, we might be able to win the time of possession battle.  Also, if they've got I big enough lead, maybe we can win the fourth quarter.

How fucking pathetic is it that even the guys on the halftime show can tell that we're just physically overmatched by MSU? Our strength and conditioning is a fucking joke.

Soooooooo . . .    Since winning this sucker has lower odds than did the snowball in Hades, I've moved on to my 98th alternate thing to cheer for - positive rushing yards at the end of the game.  Yes, it has come down to actually hoping your team doesn't suck so much that they finsh with negative rushing yards for the second year in a row.

I'd finish this post with "when did we become Illinois" but heck - Illinois BEAT Minnesota today (something Michigan wasn't able to do . .. )

Multiple choice time: 1. UM has a poor S&C program 2. UM has a younger DL and OL that will get stronger 3. UM needs some "medicinal" help 4. UM has recruited the wrong kids 5. UM technique is so bad that S&C doesn't matter 6. None of the above 7. Some of the above 8. All of the above Answer and discuss amongst yourselves.

We have all seen the stat about points scored in the 3rd quarter against Power 5 Teams last 8 games I believe? 0 points. Nice half time adjustments! Shit here goes nothing. To the second half upset drinking a lot of beers and pigs flying. Go Blue

I really wish that 11 wasn't an insurmountable lead, but with this offense it appears to be.

Aside from inability to put together a team that looks like it has played football before, the decisions make no sense:

1)  MSU driving, defense gassed, time ticking down leaving no time for offense?  Keep all timeouts in your pocket.

2)  Offense useless, special teams and defense only chance to score points?  Let kickoff go over head for a touchback.

3)  Already let nearly all time run out?  Run a play with zero chance of creating any chance of scoring.

It is just that we are bad at executing good ideas and gameplans.  We have bad ideas and terrible gameplans, and fail to even execute those.

I know no one wants to hear it, but the D is playing their hearts out against a very balanced and potent offense. They have up a lot of yards, but the D is the reason we are still in the game. Proud of our effort.
