the key play of the drive was a gift to the irish. no shutout.
January 7th, 2013 at 10:50 PM ^
7 pts for the Irish. The return to glory has begun again.

there's very little audience left. Anyone without strong interest that didn't turn the channel at halftime left when it went 35-0.

My favorite is the heat Musberger is taking on twitter after commenting on McCarrons girlfriend. lmao

So we watch full set of commercials to see a kick off then back to full set of commercials. GG

almost equally certainly not a top 5 team
January 7th, 2013 at 10:56 PM ^
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAnddd here come the referees to help Notre Dame save face!
January 7th, 2013 at 10:56 PM ^
I didn't see a hold there. If the refs wanted to control the game, they should have done it from the start.

Michigan football's place in the universe. I'm glad we've been recruiting well of late because we're going to need it.
Whole 'nother level: Alabama
Higher level: LSU, Oregon
Probably higher level: Ohio
'Old school programs that should be on the higher level; won't take much for them to return: USC, Texas, Florida, Florida State, Oklahoma, Notre Dame
Plethora of other 'new school' programs that have sniffed the higher level: Texas A&M, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, Stanford, South Carolina
Other stuff/who knows/recently good (in BCS): Virginia Tech, Georgia, Arkansas, Auburn, Wisconsin, Louisville, Clemson, West Virginia
And I haven't even mentioned Penn State and Nebraska.
...where does Michigan land in all of this? Where are we headed?
We BELONG alongside Ohio. We should at least be lumped in with the Old School programs that are always "there." But unfortunately we're probably in the "other stuff" category thanks to the 2011 BCS win (so it could be worse). But there are over a dozen programs with comparable recent recruiting histories standing between us and being top-five elite.
I love the direction Hoke has the program headed in. I believe our coaching and recruiting will leapfrog us over everyone, into the "higher level." I envision Michigan, Ohio, ND, LSU, Stanford and Oregon being the "group of five" challengers to Alabama. I wouldn't be surprised to see this group occupy the BCS' new "Football Four" for the foreseeable future.

Even ND + the Refs can't stop Alabama.
January 7th, 2013 at 10:57 PM ^
pull the starters after this drive?
January 7th, 2013 at 11:01 PM ^
Never!
I want to see their faces pounded into a jelly!

#6 on ND just bounced off lacy like a pinball on that last drive

January 7th, 2013 at 11:02 PM ^
January 7th, 2013 at 11:08 PM ^
ours was better.
January 7th, 2013 at 11:03 PM ^
Sorry, I blocked that game out of my memory.
January 7th, 2013 at 11:01 PM ^
Gotta hand it to Alabama, their OL is really in tune and well coached. They rarely miss a block and even when they do, they don't miss a beat finding the next relevant guy to block. Compared to our line where there are two to three OL looking around blocking air at the end of most run plays.
January 7th, 2013 at 11:04 PM ^
Lacy and Yeldon do a great job of making the first tackler miss.

The person hating this game more than anybody has to be Teo. His draft stock is moving down with each missed tackle. My guess is that he won't be #2 on Mel's Big Board tomorrow morning.
January 7th, 2013 at 11:07 PM ^
Was he ever #2 on the "big board?"
EDIT: I just checked and he is. I guess he will move down now after this game.
January 7th, 2013 at 11:10 PM ^
He is right now.

McCarron to Cooper is going to be deadly next year
January 7th, 2013 at 11:07 PM ^
Cooper sure has short arms on deep balls. For everything else Bama has going for it he doesnt like laying out for passes.
Oh.....and how in the hell did Alabama lose a game this year?
January 7th, 2013 at 11:07 PM ^
to be honest im almost ok with ND being exposed as pretenders on the national stage like this. I mean, this is fantastic. Crap, I look away from the TV for 1 min and miss another 3 missed ND tackles
