The unmitigated stupidity of some of the posters here has quite possibly reduced Mgoblog to Mlive. To lack all context as to why we lost THIS game and then make it part of some collective narrative is just pig ignorant.

It's not like this blog is dedicated to actual analysis of games. Threads like this manage to ignore all of that hard work and turn to another generic talking point from national sports media. Ridiculous and annoying.

We're back to being whiny, little sad excuse for fans. Same thing every time. Lose a game to a better team, start bellowing on for how great Mark Dantonio is. And how burned out and bad Harbaugh is. Or some other baseless ramblings.
Many of said takes from people who have been on this site forever. You'd presume they have been watching Michigan football for 5 or 10 years. And therefore have the ability to intelligently compare what we see now to past situations with prior coaches.
Nope.
Whiny, pathetic, ignorant.
No other way to put it.

So if Barrett is stopped 6 inches shorter is the staff not underwhelming? Do they not great credit for developing NFL players? And how do you know it will not be better next year?

Wake up and realize it was never supposed to be the year. Wake up and realize where we came from. If you’re whining so much and want to go back 4 years then go cheer for Tennessee. No? Ok go back 8 and cheer for Arizona. Your choice.
Just STFU.

Thanks for playing, but I'd argue that it was against Wisconsin, a top-10 team, last year.

How the hell did I forget that one? Ah man. This season has wiped away a lot of good memories, I guess.
Now, if we're gonna talk JH's biggest/best road win so far, well...I don't even really wanna go there right now.

At some point this program is going to have to win a big game. At some point the excuses are going to have to stop. At some point they're going to have to look competitive instead of "well, the refs," "well, the injuries," "well, recruiting..."
Nope. That's good for a loss or two here and there, but every single big game and/or rivalry game for years...

I mean, I don't necessarily think it's a Harbaugh thing. It's a systemic thing. Michigan tries so hard to look/feel like the big-time programs, and it just isn't right now. Hasn't been for a long time. The time is gone where the program can coast on "THE WINNINGEST PROGRAM IN FOOTBALL" and "WE BELIEVE IN FOOTBALL--CHAMPIONSHIP FOOTBALL."
Hasn't been championship football since 2004. 2004. And even that one needed help because they completely choked in Columbus.
At some point, it's gotta change.

I know I was saying 10-2 and then 11-1 after Florida. I'm admittedly too optimistic, but 8-4 was what most were settling on because we weren't sure about Speight. Then Speight gets a cheap shot on him and the season goes to shit.
We pretty much won the games we were expected to, not easily but still. We also lost the games we were expected to and didn't enjoy it in the process. We ripped out Florida's heart in week 1 and then dorfed against sparty so those evened out.
Sure this is frustrating. Sure I don't like living in mediocrity. I doubt the team does either. I don't begrudge frustration from others, though I do find those saying "I'm done" to be losers and they are welcome to never come back.
Onward to OSU. College football is a precious commodity and I'll treat it as such. Here's to the boys in Blue.

Then we beat that shitty sparty team. That game was the football equivalent of a storm of the century (pun not initially noticed).
Lewerke, McSorley, Hornibrook were all returning starters. It may sound like an excuse for us, and I'm not looking to be whiny about it, but that's just how shit's rolled for us. When we have Peters, McCaffrey, Milton and whoever else battling it out and all elevating the competition level, we hopefully won't have a huge dropoff if our #1 goes down. Until that point, it's a massive liability.

This. Had Denard been in the same type of offense for 4 years, we would have had a top QB. Peters has the makings of being one, IMO, but he's only a RS Fr and now he's out. Speight is a Hoke recruit, but he's looking like he could have been functional. Now we're with a patchwork QB, O'Korn, who isn't up to the task, unlike Rudock was.

You'd think there'd be some kind of forward movement on that, though. Every year it's the same thing--progress is important. Excuses are vapid.
