Corum tweet
His response to Stroud's comment on the team being sick for The Game I'm sure...
"Excuses are tools of incompetence used to build bridges to nowhere and monuments of nothingness, and those who use them seldom specialize in anything else." Go Blue.
Love it.
MSU had 20 players out and still beat PSU...

Absolutely a great tweet. He is a fine young man.
December 9th, 2021 at 1:03 PM ^
Thanks. I cant get on twitter at work.
December 9th, 2021 at 1:40 PM ^
I assume that means you also can't get on MGoBlog game threads at work
December 9th, 2021 at 2:01 PM ^
I cant bring a phone into my facility and our internet doesn't allow us to access social media. Thank God for MGOBLOG lol
December 10th, 2021 at 12:08 AM ^
Well, about the inability to access social media at work -- Excuses are tools of incompetence used to build bridges to nowhere and monuments of nothingness, and those who use them seldom specialize in anything else.

Damn. That is deep and so incredibly accurate. Blake is a real one.
December 9th, 2021 at 11:41 PM ^
Handle checks out...
December 9th, 2021 at 1:02 PM ^
Love it too. But did MSU really have 20 players out? I’ve heard that also but I think that was based on a report that up to 20 players were sick. I dont think they had a lot of guys that didn’t play.
December 9th, 2021 at 1:06 PM ^
That's what multiple reports said. Even so, Ohio State had zero out.
If the shoe was on the other foot, they would claim we're acting like babies....F them
December 9th, 2021 at 1:11 PM ^
"Zero" must be their one guy who can stop the run. If he was out, I see the problem. Michigan's offensive gameplan probably started with "Well, how many guys do they have that can stop a basic running play? Zero."
December 9th, 2021 at 2:06 PM ^
I think we would have run through Zero just like the rest of their D.
December 9th, 2021 at 1:02 PM ^
The maximum effective range of an excuse is zero meters.
December 9th, 2021 at 2:55 PM ^
Therefore, zero meter blast radius
December 9th, 2021 at 1:02 PM ^
I hate to say it … but Sparty didn’t bitch this much with all those players out. They went out and won. Maybe Day should talk to Tucker about motivation.
December 9th, 2021 at 1:06 PM ^
Little Brother is growing up.
December 9th, 2021 at 1:17 PM ^
let's not get carried away, now.
December 9th, 2021 at 1:12 PM ^
They would have bitched if they lost though, especially if it was to us (PSU is less important). Likewise, OSU wouldn't be bitching if they had won anyway.
December 9th, 2021 at 1:24 PM ^
I'm not ready to give them a bunch of credit. They've been whining about how KWIII only had one good leg for the OSU game. But he ran for 130+ the week before and after. So, something doesn't add up there.
December 9th, 2021 at 1:37 PM ^
I'm not sold on Tucker as a $100 million coach, but as an opposing fan he is far more likable than Ryan Day. Tucker walked into a terrible situation and built a quality team. Day walked into the 2nd or 3rd best program in American and hasn't crashed the ship yet.
December 9th, 2021 at 1:43 PM ^
Maybe they haven't crashed the ship, but they went from 3rd best program in America to 2nd best program in the state of Ohio....
December 9th, 2021 at 1:47 PM ^
Yes 1000% this^^^^ If I were a Bearcat fan, I would be rubbing that salt in their wound all day long.
December 9th, 2021 at 1:51 PM ^
haha. all DAY long.
December 9th, 2021 at 2:01 PM ^
All YEAR long?
December 9th, 2021 at 2:28 PM ^
Do they have a guy named Year?
December 9th, 2021 at 2:01 PM ^
Burn baby burn!!!
December 9th, 2021 at 2:48 PM ^
Maybe Staee should have infected 20 players with the flu before OSU?
December 9th, 2021 at 1:08 PM ^
Somebody’s gonna have to dumb that down for the OSU players to understand it
December 9th, 2021 at 1:23 PM ^
They be like, "Well... that's just your opinion..."
December 9th, 2021 at 1:54 PM ^
"CJ Stroud is a bitch"
December 9th, 2021 at 2:42 PM ^
Ha ha ha. You beat me to it. The words in Blake's quote are way too big for them to get it.
December 9th, 2021 at 1:08 PM ^
I didn't know the flu made defenders not know to set the edge on outside runs. Or caused false starts, or bad/mistimed snaps, or a loss to Oregon (and a shredding by Minnesota the week before) where the issues were basically the same as against Michigan.
Probably not good when your QB and Heisman candidate, supposedly a leader on his team, is looking for excuses instead of asking for accountability from himself and his teammates.
December 9th, 2021 at 1:13 PM ^
Apparently, the flu makes LB's move out of the way of bruising running backs. It also makes your head coach say delusional things like "We're going to hang 100 on them" . Funny thing how the flu works.
December 9th, 2021 at 1:22 PM ^
one. hundred. percent.
contrast that with mcnamara's postgame speech after rutgers last season. it's the difference (some might say a Michigan Difference [TM]) between a leader and a follower. hard to see that speech and not think he was going to win that locker room.
stroud didn't look like a leader for one single minute that day. i know - part of this is retroactive. if ohio state had won, some might say he was steady, or undercontrol, or unflappable, or whatever. but even when they were behind he didn't look all that interested.

Lunchtime threadjack. Another Jersey guy at IMG just decommitted from Clemson.

I mean, that is a name we have to get!
On every sack we could yell "JIIHAAAAAAAADDDDD!!!!!!!"
December 9th, 2021 at 1:48 PM ^
I put a jihaad on them, and if you don't believe me, I'll put a jihaad on you too.
December 9th, 2021 at 1:29 PM ^
That’s quite a first name
December 9th, 2021 at 1:17 PM ^
Love Corum but we had excuses when we lost to MSU, Harbaugh complained about the refs.
December 9th, 2021 at 1:25 PM ^
Gee I wonder why
December 9th, 2021 at 1:28 PM ^
It doesn't matter why, I watched the game just like you dipshit. Excuses are excuses though, we can't have it both ways. Let them say what they want and use it as motivation to lock their asses up in the shoe next year.
December 9th, 2021 at 1:38 PM ^
Excuses... At what point does exceedingly poor officiating change the game? How many demonstrable penalties and no-calls can be made before the game is impacted? If scoring a TD to take a lead, and the refs say 'Nope' so the points come down and there's no longer a lead - does that impact the game? At what point do officials have to become aware that they are impacting the game in an unfair manner? All the calls? Half the calls? 17 calls, or 6? Do no-calls have any impact whatsoever? Lets say a 4th down pass see's the rec interfered with by two separate defenders, and no call is made. Does this maybe impact the game?
I'm just trying to figure out where you are in terms of actual game impact. Do you think the officials never impact a game in such a way that the final score may be swayed one way or the other?
Because if that's how you think, then you're the biggest dipshit watching football in America today.

jesus calm down man .... who pissed in your cheerios this morning you grumpy sumbitch
December 9th, 2021 at 2:17 PM ^
If you looked like him and had that head of hair, you would be bitch mode 24/7.
December 9th, 2021 at 2:40 PM ^
What if I said that on a couple of MSU offensive snaps at the end of the game, we were aware, but not fully aware
December 9th, 2021 at 3:32 PM ^
Wait. Are you accusing college football fans of bias in favor of their own team? Sacre bleu!
