Can't wait to hear the excuses for beating a top 10 team...

"Notre Dame really isn't THAT good!"

"If it weren't for the weather, we'd have lost!"

"Just got lucky!"

"John O'Neil!"

I've been a member for a year. Hardly "long time." Enjoy the win and celebrate the team, rather than talk shit like you're some bad ass know it all football savant. 

Harbaugh isn't perfect and this is a great win. It's possible to believe both things.

Hutchinson is a star in the making.

The whole OL has looked good. Shea has had zero pressure and they're getting push. 

Running it back wouldn't have been a bad idea. In any case, the dive got some yards. 

Great win for sure. 

The OL seems to have gelled after whatever disturbed them early

The RBs look very good to great at least two deep

The WRs were making hard contested catches

I saw some speed in space working like they've been trying to get it to do all season

That PSU loss really turned the corner for the team. I said I'd be happy if we don't lose another game we shouldn't and beat one of ND, MSU, and OSU. It's looking likely we win at least 2/3. 

Yeah. I'm a pit of negativity. Use the fucking troll cave if you care so much.

The trouble with officials calls complaining is that you never know how they really affect the game unless it is the last play of a tight game.

You cannot discount the failures of your team to overcome it or to be in a position where that wins or loses the game.

Michigan was not prepared in the first half of Penn State and dug too deep a hole. In spite of that, they were a Ronnie Bell dropped pass from forcing possible overtime, although PSU would have gotten the ball back with two minutes to go.

Referees do not win or lose a game.

Losers whine about referees all the fucking time.

Michigan was not prepared in the first half of Penn State

Really?  How different is that game if:

-PSU is called for offensive pass interference on its first TD

-PSU is called for defensive PI on Tarik Black on 4th down in their territory

-Nico Collins isn't called for a phantom offensive PI

Those three calls were a huge reason why we were down so much in the first place.

You know, UM is also the beneficiary of bad officiating from time to time. I call your attention to the Michigan Podcast after last years OSU/UM game. They highlighted the bad officiating quite clearly in the Podcast. UM just didn't take advantage of it.

Well you literally made up the first two. The offensive PI was a bad call, but that's one play in a game of many.  Do me a favor and go over the entire film and find call that could have been made on both sides. Fun fact, there were calls missed on both sides.

You're looking for an excuse because you didn't get the result you wanted. That's loser mentality.

Wait? No need to wait. On reddit people were already claiming Notre dame wasn't good once Michigan went up 17-0

Fuck all the haters.  Everybody who has questioned Harbaugh this past week and then cited Lincoln Riley as an example of a better coaching hire can go fuck themselves.

The lesson I'm getting is that home field advantage is huge.  We beat Wisconsin and PSU last year when we had home field advantage.  We lose to them this year and 2 years ago when they have home field advantage.  Similar situation in our most recent 2 games against Notre Dame.  That's 8 games in which the home team has won all 8.

Of course blow-offs like tonight's MICHIGAN STOMPING OF AN INFERIOR IRISH SQUAD are more than home field, but it's strange nevertheless.
