Post-Game Open Thread (Keep Opinions Here)
As a favor to the mods, I would suggest everyone put their gripes and VERY IMPORTANT PERSONAL OPINIONS in this one place for everyone's sake. It didn't happen after PSU and the tailspin the board took afterwards made nobody happy.
I'm off to drink and act like I care about the Rose Bowl

Craig James said something about how he thinks Hoke is a better option than Harbaugh. Not that James' opinion matters but... really dude?
January 1st, 2011 at 5:12 PM ^
Someone needs to put him in a shed ASAP.
January 1st, 2011 at 5:14 PM ^
I thought he said Hoke is better option than RR
January 1st, 2011 at 5:22 PM ^
For what it's worth at this point I think he's right on that score. There is no way RR can stay after this and therefore any coach is a better option than keeping RR around. Hoke's got SDSU on an upward path and that's a bigger turnaround job than UM would be.
By the way I hope no=one says the players like RR and that's an argument for keeping him around, because if you like/believe in your coach you don't play like that when his job is on the line.

i have multiple problems with this post. but mostly that it's stupid. very very stupid.
January 1st, 2011 at 5:42 PM ^
With such wonderfully stated and concise arguments like that, who could possibly disagree with you?
January 1st, 2011 at 5:10 PM ^
I beat 'em in NCAA 11. Takes some of the sourness out of the loss...
January 1st, 2011 at 5:28 PM ^
great
January 1st, 2011 at 5:11 PM ^
banned. Especially cowbells.
January 1st, 2011 at 5:14 PM ^
have vuvuzelas?
January 1st, 2011 at 6:13 PM ^
It says on the back of the ticket that no artificial noise makers are allowed. I don't know why they made an exception for it.
January 1st, 2011 at 5:11 PM ^
The cake is a lie.
January 1st, 2011 at 5:11 PM ^
The team just needs more: SWAGGER
January 1st, 2011 at 5:13 PM ^
January 1st, 2011 at 5:13 PM ^
IDK what to think anymore. DB I trust, either way i can see why his decision will be good for UM.
January 1st, 2011 at 5:15 PM ^
So, anybody know when DB will have his news conference?
January 1st, 2011 at 5:14 PM ^
I feel like a dying kitten...Happy New Year or whatever
January 1st, 2011 at 5:17 PM ^
I was a supporter of giving RR another season at the helm, but I'm slipt 50/50 after today. I can accept that we're young and just don't have the great players (besides Martin and DRob and a solid O-line), but the team was no where near prepared for today from a mentality/gameplan perspective. I just don't see how you can be that ill-prepared after an entire month.
January 1st, 2011 at 5:19 PM ^
And being 50/50 on the current coach means deep down, I probably want Harbaugh at the helm.
sigh
January 1st, 2011 at 5:29 PM ^
i don't think DB will fire RR until he has someone in place, if he can't find the right one, I believe RR will stay.
January 1st, 2011 at 5:43 PM ^
until he has a replacement locked up.
That is how CEO-types work.
January 1st, 2011 at 7:21 PM ^
Concentrate on the orange dot, it turns purple.
January 1st, 2011 at 5:15 PM ^
Let me Tell you, those cowbells are only one step short of vuvuzelas.
January 1st, 2011 at 5:16 PM ^
Dawn of a new era. I'm excited. Whomever coaches next will do better.
January 1st, 2011 at 5:20 PM ^
to look at the defensive line depth chart, followed by the linebackers depth chart.
Then realize we will be on defensive coordinator number 3 in 4 seasons within a few hours and the last 2 changes were painful to watch.
I seriously think the D could actually be worse next season.
January 1st, 2011 at 5:27 PM ^
We lose 1 starter. Plus we lose the 3-3-5. Plus we lose GERG. Plus incoming freshmen (i.e. Jones, Morgan,Crawford). No possible way it'll be worse. No you're just being a pessimist.
January 1st, 2011 at 5:28 PM ^
Maybe next year, yes. But not down the line. Harbaugh is an excellent recruiter. And his D coordinator is terrific. And, just as importantly, they seem to have a system.
January 1st, 2011 at 5:28 PM ^
Dude, if you're going to break out whom or whomever, use it correctly.
January 1st, 2011 at 5:58 PM ^
"Whomever, dick."
January 1st, 2011 at 5:16 PM ^
I think I'm desensitized to getting blown out. I mean, I was enraged over the Penn State game, and depressed over the Ohio State game, but this game I just kind of chuckled, said, "aw shucks," and moved on.
January 1st, 2011 at 5:32 PM ^
I agree
January 1st, 2011 at 5:17 PM ^
you guys looked awful
January 1st, 2011 at 5:20 PM ^
Sorry. We hadn't put our face on yet.
January 1st, 2011 at 5:20 PM ^
I didn't have a comeback, so I negged you.
Oh, and that terribleness beat you this year. Huzzah!
January 1st, 2011 at 5:33 PM ^
I can live with it this year
January 1st, 2011 at 8:03 PM ^
As long as we give it.
And like it.
January 1st, 2011 at 5:21 PM ^
Thanks.
January 1st, 2011 at 5:28 PM ^
we had been able to play Notre Dame all year, we would have went 13-0 :(
January 1st, 2011 at 5:31 PM ^
But that still doesn't change Michigan's last two games against ND.
January 1st, 2011 at 5:34 PM ^
RR's 2 biggest wins at UM, thats sad
January 1st, 2011 at 5:38 PM ^
Irish, you are really pushing me baby. Protect yo neck.
/Free ODB
January 1st, 2011 at 5:41 PM ^
yeah I wasn't trying to but I am going away from my intent.
You guys as fans deserve better, players deserve better and RR deserves better, hope the future has more cheers than jeers
January 1st, 2011 at 10:40 PM ^
what Michigan fans fear most is becoming a mirror image of ND over the last twenty years. If that happens I promise you won't find me constantly trolling ND blogs.
January 1st, 2011 at 5:18 PM ^
RR, to me, looked like a dead man walking all day on the sidelines. Lots of that had to do with the execution, for sure. But, it appeared that he knew something others have speculated about.
The vaunted offense didn't quite look vaunted.
Put me down in the indifferent column. There are more important things than this.
January 1st, 2011 at 5:31 PM ^
I didn't think he would get fired today, no more executed! (But after THAT game...)
January 1st, 2011 at 5:40 PM ^
The decision was already made, when he said he was trying to make this a fun experience for his kids. It wasn't about winning it was about making sure a bunch of little kids had fun in florida that maybe have never had the chance to go.
January 1st, 2011 at 5:40 PM ^
I agree, he looked defeated before the game even started.
January 1st, 2011 at 5:19 PM ^
looked pretty good today.
