It REALLY sucks this game is only on BTN.
November 14th, 2009 at 9:50 AM ^
Great crowd for gameday. I love the mid-major locations this year.
Biggest crowd at Gameday this year?

"what's wrong with Michigan? Kirk, Lee and Desmond will examine the situation in Ann Arbor."
Awesome. A sure to be misinformed feature that ignores facts and at the same time says to recruits "stay away."
November 14th, 2009 at 10:01 AM ^
can't wait till corso makes his pick and puts on a mascot head and then says NOTSOFAST and then fakes us all out and then i am like "whoa, i didn't see that coming!"
until then, i will be very interested in some soft focus, human interest stories about one player who likes country music and another one that came from a poor neighborhood.
November 14th, 2009 at 10:02 AM ^
I know, I'm jacked for it!
November 14th, 2009 at 10:07 AM ^
It's sick, but I really look forward to it and plan around it when I'm not at our games. I've even been known to tivo it. There I said it.
November 14th, 2009 at 10:15 AM ^
-1 for tivo-ing a show you could mostly predict the night before and +1 for total honesty
can someone post a few minutes before the michigan segment so i don't have to sit through an hour of "now a story you won't believe, after these commercials and dave matthews songs."?

Kenny Chesney
November 14th, 2009 at 12:02 PM ^
He got me ... I really thought he was going to put that Utah helmet on this time.
November 14th, 2009 at 10:07 AM ^
put some dog crap in the Mascot head. Would make for some exciting tv viewing!
November 14th, 2009 at 10:11 AM ^
OMGZ NO! DESMOND ISN'T WEARING A RED TIE! CONSPIRACY!1!
November 14th, 2009 at 10:12 AM ^
not the BTN football tailgate with revsine and the other indiana coach that didn't work out so well?
November 14th, 2009 at 10:24 AM ^
I'm cringing, then I am sure I'll be real annoyed after it's over and Desmond airs his opinions
November 14th, 2009 at 10:45 AM ^
Here it comes...
November 14th, 2009 at 10:51 AM ^
or did it seem like they were completely uncomfortable talking about that subject.
November 14th, 2009 at 10:53 AM ^
it sounded like there was some feedback coming from the microphones, so that might have led to some discomfort, restraint and such
November 14th, 2009 at 10:54 AM ^
Desmond correctly pointing out our youth. Could have been WAY more misinformed.
November 14th, 2009 at 11:30 AM ^
the tate transfer thing mentioned on air on gameday is pretty bad. its been nothing but internet posts, shouldn't they source that? just say "message boards full of forcier transfer speculation. the man who comprises 50% of tate's dna, though, says no." done.
poker metaphor - oof

Herbie: The "Michigan Men", perhaps still disappointed that it isn't Les Miles, are looking for reasons to buy in, and the results thus far aren't giving them a lot of reasons.
Desmond: Youth factor, too many Michigan players on the Michigan roster are either freshmen or sophomores by eligibility, and young guys don't give you depth if they're playing and the make mistakes. The MSU, Iowa, and Purdue losses are by a combined 10 points, they could easily be an 8-2 team with some breaks (Fowler points out they could also be a 3-7 team without some breaks. He's not wrong.)
Corso: Michigan needs to go out and recruit some defensive players. It might be a place to start (I couldn't tell if Lee was being sarcastic, genuine, or that rare combination of both.)
November 14th, 2009 at 11:05 AM ^
So Urban would NEVER leave Gainesville for ND? With only a $500k buyout all ND would have to do is make the call.
November 14th, 2009 at 11:09 AM ^
recruit defensive players! your crazy man. Its all about those 3* recievers
November 14th, 2009 at 11:13 AM ^
I liked the ND feature, if for no other reason than see just how much everyone overreacted to him nearly beating USC, and for the fact that ND is 1-9 versus teams who finished in the top 25.
November 14th, 2009 at 11:25 AM ^
I chuckled at that too, but then thought of RR's record...
November 14th, 2009 at 6:58 PM ^
Yeah, but Weis has been at it for 4+ years now. If in 4 years RR is still struggling, then by all means chuckle.
November 14th, 2009 at 11:16 AM ^
Erin Andrews in a leather jacket - she kind of looks like Travolta in Grease. I'm not sure if that is a compliment or not, but it's out there.
November 14th, 2009 at 11:18 AM ^
if nd goes after urban meyer he may be the first head coach ever to make 6-7 million a year, and trust me they will pay it if they are willing to pay the weis buyout
November 14th, 2009 at 11:35 AM ^
that interviewed Gerhart? Saw her last week and was suitably impressed.
November 14th, 2009 at 11:57 AM ^
Anyone know a good link? ST and jtv are failing me right now
November 14th, 2009 at 5:36 PM ^
Wow. So far, it looks like Corso actually made a really good comment about the Miami-UNC game.
If GT wins (they did) then Miami will lose (they are so far) because they'll be down after being eliminated from the division race.
