- Game tying FG at home to Minnesota to send the game to OT.

- Bizarro Urban Meyer decided to make terrible coaching decisions to cost OSU the game.

- @ Purdue was one of their crossover games.

- Iowa @PSU was another.

- Indiana blew a 4th quarter lead at home.

- Sparty remembered who they were at halftime of a game they were leading.

This was one of the luckiest teams in CFB.  Outside of us, their toughest games were at home.  Purdue, Indiana and Rutgers are not the type of environments where you have to pump rawk music onto the practice field to get ready.

Oh, and WTF??? Now beating Temple is somehow a better win than over Colorado because Temple won their conference.

strongly disagree. I cringed when I saw Levy in this spot, but I think he pulled it off. He is certainly not the lead of an A crew, but I think he was very solid on the "three deep" for big games. I thought they did quite well actually.

So if a 5th year senior who had starting experience and the luxury of playing behind one of the best lines in Michigan history were starting instead of a 3rd year sophomore, we would have done better? Hot take

The only thing that I really remember Levy being pretty decent at was hockey commentary, and as I recall, he was on the crew for some of the longest playoff games ever played in the NHL. Having him do football at all is really kind of strange, and I am not at all shocked that continually sounds unenthused.

Levy did this year's World Cup of Hockey and did do Hockey announcing previously. He was tolerable at that. My issue with Levy is he doesn't seem knowledgeable about football and makes very strange comments that equate him to being a football newbie.
During the Wisconsin game he loved using the phrase "Speight hooks up with Butt". Listen, maybe I'm immature, but that gets a giggle and grown, like you knew one of the players has the last name of Butt, couldn't you at least prepare yourself to be careful about it?

Good news, afaic. Brian was a bit too negative about us in the Wiscy game, imo, but is usually good.

If he mentions the fact that Michigan is playing yet another bowl game that is an away game and, in over a century, has played in zero home bowl games, he will be my new favorite announcer.
