Easy schedule gave false hope.  Speight is a 6'6"/250 lb QB who throws like a girl.  No big play receiver.  A starting RB who is basically a LB trying to run the ball.   Predictable Pepper play calling on offense.  Kalis sucks but becuase Brian says he is good then it must be true.  A defense with slow LBs who get exposed if the DL can't get any pressure.  A UM team who is going to get thumped by OSU - and you are a moron if you think otherwise. 

When everyone plays like shit, everyone coaches like shit and John O'neill et al is your officiating crew you're gonna have a bad day. I'm just disappointed this team won't get another crack at Iowa in the championship game. They'd fucking annihilate them. 

We deserved to lose tonight. Plain and simple. We played awful against a team we should've bitch slapped, and what makes it worse is that it was against the most boring, predictable coach in all of college football. A man that developed his strategy in the goddamn fucking Stone Age, and somehow Michigan finds ways to lose to him almost every time we play him.

Good bye playoffs. We will probably scrape by IU next week, and then proceed to get our asses thoroughly kicked (again) by OSU by 2-3 TDs. We may make the Rose Bowl, but it'll feel so damn hollow as we watch OSU upset Bama again and waltz its way to another goddamn title.

Michigan tried to take advantage of a depleted secondary early... it didn't work! Not to mention the defense against the run has officially been exposed. All correctable issues, I hope, because Ohio St is in 2 weeks and Indiana is no slouch!

all over the field, offense and special teams being notorious.

I thought complete BS on targeting.  Late hit, yes.  But bush wrapped up and had eyes up.  McCray touched/slid across the facemask but I saw no hooking of it with his fingers.  Those 15 free yards with no time off the clock was the game winner for iowa.

I was a little disappointed iowa called screen 2 times when we were being typical hyper aggressive and it worked to perfection.

If Speight ever takes a hard hit it should be automatic Okorn if you ask me.  Speight was already off on throws all over before this.  Butt, Chesson and Darboh all dropped easily catchable balls.

Hill's fumble on the 2nd half kickoff was inexcusable.

Smith in the backfield seemed to go absolutely nowhere, I can't tell if safeties are creeping up close or gap filling run blitzes almost every time.  Getting away from the run, even if underproductive, diminishes the effectiveness of play-action.

The only positive is OSU is locked out of Indy if PSU wins-out.  However its a very minor leap to see them in the CFP if they win out.  We control our own destiny.  May Harbaugh channel the sting of this adversity into beast mode....if anyone can do it, I believe in him.

Win next five

And appreciate our one hiccup kept Kirk ferments at Iowa for another 15 years

Michigan will never win a championship again. How foolish of us to ever think they would.

This was a complete breakdown of epic proportions. It was clear that M was out coached and out played at nearly every level. From the play calling to having a freshman db yank a pass out of an experienced receiver's hands, M was lackluster and pushed around. IU won't be a cakewalk either and their defense has been playing well while their offense can put up points. And of course Ohio will be a slugfest and after watching the way our guys got manhandled and looked slow and unresponsive it makes the prospects of winning even fewer. If Harbaugh manages to salvage the season, then he's even more of a genius than I suspect. But for now, I have to say the cat or rather the wolverine is out of the bag.

I'm not ready to give up faith in Harbaugh. Most UM fans talk about how they are more scared of OSU after a tough loss because they come out pissed off and play their asses off. I think Harbaugh is one of the elite coaches who can bring this out in our players. Time to test the character of this team and see if they can do the same thing. Tough loss no doubt, but elite teams rebound from tough losses and come back strong. Looking forward to seeing if this team is actually elite in the next two weeks. Let's save the DOOOOMMMM for when Eddie is speeding down the sidelines against OSU in two weeks and remember how far we have come in two short years. Onward. 

Terrible game but these things happen in college football as we saw throughout the day. We can't let this loss affect the rest of the year. Learn from this and move forward. I still believe in this team.

The team is slow and has been exposed. At least it was early enough to know OSU will curb stomp them. 

I did get a sick feeling upon sitting down in front of the TV and hearing "John O'Neill" 

still we have to get back to where that doesn't matter.  And we will.  

One first down and we would have won.

Teams have down weeks, I'd rather have this as the down week than any other game this season.  And, as an odd silver lining, we didn't give away any trick plays tonight.

Holy cow so we had a bad game. Get over it and quit acting like our team is so horrible and we will get crushed by OSU. Wah wah wah bunch of whiney babies. I'm starting to see why people don't like Michigan fans. You guys that are acting this way seriously suck. Grow up. We still control our own destiny. STFU
