Pitchforks must be sold out in Ann Arbor judging by the recent threads

Tough fucking loss. UM outgained, out rushed, out time of possessed ND. Hell ND even punted more and still UM got routed. Three turnovers and inablility to get 1st downs were telling. Appalacian State must really suck.

I'm still just as liable to say things that 'polite company' would be okay seeing me hit over the head and taken out to the wood chipper for.  

Is this what Brandon had in mind for a "wow experience"?

Maybe he will get a wow experience Monday morning. The type that involve a brown cardboard box and a security guard.

I'm cleaning and doing laundry this morning because I don't want to turn on the TV and accidentally see highlights of last night. This sucks.

I think we've seen enough. Hoke is in over his head, time to love on. We're waiting Harbaugh, you get the keys, do it your way, throw some cash at him and let's move this along.

Listening to WTKA right now, and AC is talking about the '81 debacle to start the season. He talked about how Andy Cannavino called a meeting and got the players on track. AC said "the captains are going to have to do the same."

Except for the fact that this team doesn't have captains. 

Who are the leaders on this team when Hoke doesn't trust them to elect some?

Instead of the two field goals, why not pooch punt it inside the 10 and play field position? Not only did Wile suck but so did Hagerup, wtf happened there? Pin Golston deep and blitz the hell outta him with a spy occasionally. He looked uncomfortable early and we could have kept it that way if we pressured him.
Why did we not stuck with the running game? We had the ball moving, somewhat, on the ground and then we tried to get cute with it. What ever happened to staying committed to the run, no matter what, to set things up offensively, wear down the D, and churn up clock. We were getting 2-6 yds a run I thought, not bad early. No wonder Chris Clark wants to take visits because the TE is completely absent in this offense right now. Throw it to Williams! I dont care if he is huge and not a deep threat, curl him in front of the Mike, run a 5 yd out with him, or Hill, or Shallman, or anyone!
What ever happened to a crossing route, a deep post, why were we throwing Funchess bubble screens and trying to look cute. Throw deep to Funchess and let him utilize his size to box out defenders 30 yds downfield. Why did we look nothing like the offense that got called last week?
I told my buddy this last week and apparently I was wrong, I said that I felt like we finally had a coordinator that would insist on dictating the pace of and the game. I wish it was back to the Anthony Thomas days of running the football where we said,"you know what we are going to run but good luck stopping us anyways", get in a damn I formation and run the ball, then do a run fake and roll out and throw it to the TE on a delay route.
Aaaaand another thing, FRANK CLARK IS NOT A STAND UP PLAYER WHO SHOULD BE DROPPING INTO PASS COVERAGE. Tell me why our best pass rusher is not rushing the passer on some plays, he already lacks consistency so lets switch him between positions. Get wormley and hurst out there more, Bolden is slow, what happened to our man press SWAG? Ryan looks lost out there, bad move probably, what was so bad about defenses scheming away from him when he was an overhang guy, at least you took away like a third of the field. Move him back to, well, Will now and let him play up on the line where he can beat slow tackles on a pass rush. Taco for Beyer please.
Thank goodness I developed my love and passion for Michigan football from 1995-2003, at which point I went off to college, then it became an addictive obsession that has turned out to be a waste of 10 years of emotion and time.
ANTHONY THOMAS FOR PRESIDENT!!!

Hoke is what the fan base needed after rich rod. Maize and blue to the bone. But now, sadly, his time has gone. Can't win on the road or against an opponent worth a shit. It sucks and i feel bad but he's gone. Has to be.

Well...... A few things. 1. I will always support Michigan. But, I'm cursing myself for a fool for falling prey to irrational expectations. By and large, if you weren't good last year, you probably won't be good this year. 2. The current coaching staff may be the worst I've ever seen at developing superb talent. OR all recruiting services are wrong. 3. Those calling for everyone to be fired - who exactly do you think you're going to get to take the job? Forget Harbaugh or Miles. They will NEVER come here. Who else? There is an incredible shortage of top coaching talent, and I cannot think of a single one that we could get. Hoke will get one more year and then we'll hire another guy very like him because of our insane insistence that our head coach be somehow previously tied to the university. 4. I do believe that next year is the year it all starts to change (assuming recruiting doesn't just fall down a well after last night). We'll finally be mostly upperclassmen again. Not that we'll be national championship contenders ever again, but that it will be better. 5. Once something has been reality for nearly a decade - it is reality. But it CAN change. Remember, Alabama sucked for a decade or more too. 6. I'll still be there next weekend ready to cheer for Michigan. I've rooted for them my entire life, I'm not about to stop now just because we're no longer amongst the upper echelon football programs.

I think the season record is 100 percent irrelevant, since the schedule is so weak. All that matters is how M fares in the three rivalry games (and, perhaps, a bowl game). Anybody could win 8 games with this schedule.
