Week 6: Best thing you saw
Well, me thinks Paramus Catholic would have been a tougher opponent. Total annihilation is always a solid 'best thing', but a few other items caught my eye:
- Another FSU - Miami classic
- Texas A&M outlasting the Vols magic
- Mike Leach in the road trip passenger interviews on Gameday (and the present lead over Stanford)
However, my 'best thing' this week...
young men who have willingly agreed to represent our country in international conflicts so the rest of us enjoy its freedoms banded together to rush for over 300 yards against the #6 team in the country. Navy beating Houston was the best thing I saw today. Congrats to the Midshipmen!
What you got?

There's no greater sport and no greater community with whom to share it.
(And no community makes me focus on grammar quite like this one.)

It was fun to watch that game with all the rain. ND center botched the snap on their last play and was berated by Kelly on the sideline. Like he did it on purpose or something. I thought the kid might lose it and just knock Kelly out. One of these days it will happen and it will be glorious.

The 11 Warriors maroons are saying Harbaugh is a non-sport asshat for going for two. LOL!! They pick the easiest target to make a claim, but lack the forethought to understand what they're actually whining about.

It was definitely MSU fans chanting "Terry, Terry, Terry" before he threw an interception on the very next play.

Michigan should wipe MSU clean. There offfense couldnt score against a division 2. There defense is average but we should hold them to 6 points max
October 9th, 2016 at 1:48 AM ^
BYU gave up 53 points to Toledo last week, but only 14 to MSU. The Spartans are baaaaaaaad.

I've seen that rickety stadium empty out in Q3 when they're getting their asses handed to them, especially if it's Michigan.

a top ten if it stood. It was a video game play, between the triangle and square moves to break and avoid tackles. A block on Hill was more believable, but still weak.
Regardless, great point - it was a memorable return.

Another great saturday. It was all good! Michigan wins ND and MSU get embaressed
October 9th, 2016 at 1:26 AM ^
...especially Taco absolutely terrorizing the entire Rutgers backfield.
- ND losing again in a giant swamp. Fond memories of the Weis years.
- Sparty's season completely unraveling
- Navy knocking off Houston, probably eliminating 2 teams from playoff contention (Houston and L'ville)
- Yet another impossible Tennessee comeback, but thankfully falling short in 2OT
- Yet another FSU-Miami game decided by a missed kick
- Did I mention ND losing again?
October 9th, 2016 at 1:29 AM ^
and although i didn't see it, I think possibly the greatest thing I heard was Ash decided on this game to have like 200 recruits attend. I imiagine a few have UM offers. That's a great thing.

WTF was he thinking? Did he honestly think Rutgers would make a good showing against THIS team? Did he think all his bluster wasn't going to piss off a team with vastly more talent and experience? What a moran...
October 9th, 2016 at 1:36 AM ^
DavidP814 makes a good point in the Schadenfreude: Rutgers thread, that it may be the best thing from week 6. Be sure to read the Schadenfreude: Rutgers thread. The OP is fantastic.

78-0... It just looks so good on the page
I loved Gedeon's hit on the fly sweep
But the best thing I saw was number 5 spinning off 2 tacklers then ducking under a 3rd and accelerating in 4 perfectly choreographed steps.

Set the stage for a half of football we wouldm't soon forget. Yes I said half! if I remember right Peppers had a game worth of statistics in one half. I know he was sitting on the bench with a jacket over his uniform by the halfway point of the 3rd. Talk about leaving them wanting more. It was nice of the coaches to let him show off in Jersey the last time he could play there.
EDIT In a Michigan uniform.

- Stanford starting to falter with two consecutive blowout losses in a way that would not have happened if Jim were still there.
- RR defeated and AZ looking like a very average team
- Hoke's Oregon defense gets housed by a manball Washington team
- Jim Mora (once a popular candidate for UM job) gets beat by AZ State and has a very average, common looking UCLA team.

The best thing I saw was the second half where a great number of kids who work their asses off got into a game and had meaningful experiences. Some of those guys will play a lot more in a Michigan uniform and make many more memories. For some of those guys, this will be a memory they have for the rest of their lives. I know that sounds mushy and sentimental, but it was what stuck with me.
Second best thing, the Cubs. I've been a fan my entire life, and I just want them to win so badly.

Best thing - Jabrill Peppers, hands down. Dude was awesome last night, he clearly had goals to accomplish. His first touch went 63. The punt return. The TD run after correctly reading two pass options. Dude was awesome!!
Worst thing - Lewis' block in the back call. Talk about cheap... That was one of the more horseshit block in the back calls I've ever seen. Lewis' hand might have barely touched the guy.
Fun things - MSU, ND, and UTenn losing. I was getting tired of seeing UTenn keep coming back. Also fun, Houston going down to Navy! That warmed my heart... One more pretender bites the dust!
Also, I love this thread each week!
BTW, head over to RCMB and peruse the 'Legitimately worried about Michigan' thread. Pure gold! The first response to the OP is "Grease up and bend over. They're coming."
October 9th, 2016 at 9:03 AM ^
it was whoever on our team hit rutgers' #5. it wasn't an unreasonable call, but it was a particularly stupid block in that i think our #5 was not in reach of that guy and he should've been left alone.

and that you picked out the true 'offender'. not as much of a penalty on review, but still, a shame that isn't also on #5's resume.
