I'm not making excuses (as I make an excuse) for Harbaugh, but look at how bad Wisconsin looks on offense with 2 staring Olineman out. We had 5 new starters. That defense doesn't look the same either. Covid football sucks. Having said that, I can't wait till see the Friday games.

Exactly, 6 years of Harbaugh has gotten us this - certainly not Leaders and the Best:

  • 0-5 vs OSU, covid saved us from 0-6
  • 3-3 vs MSU
  • 0 B1G titles, not even playing in the B1G title game let alone CFP
  • best road win is against #20 Northwestern
  • 1-4 in bowl games
  • 0-15 when Michigan is an underdog
  • 2-12 vs. top 10 teams
  • worst halftime deficit in Michigan stadium history & 2nd worst loss ever at home
  • home loss to an 0-5 team
  • 4 straight home losses
  • talented players transferring / leaving the program early
  • questionable roster management and seemingly disorganized recruiting
  • could not keep the players from missing the last 3 games
  • 4th highest paid coach in the country

Announcers are a joke.  Among other things, they say the teams are "so happy to be playing" - yet Wisc players look uninterested to be there.

It's depressing to see Wisconsin be this bad and UM to have lost to them, though I guess when they had basically a month to prepare for a Michigan team down their 2 ends, 2 tackles, and I believe a starting safety it isn't that surprising.

I’m just glad Michigan got rid of don brown who was the root cause of all Michigan’s suffering. (Checks stats from O and D during that time). Hmmm...I regret to inform you that the offensive staff still remains, and they have yet to crack even very good under harbaugh, let alone elite. :/

Whisky.  A shell of their former self.  WF moving the ball all over the place.  UM has fallen so far, let’s see if Harbaugh knows how to get back up - assuming he comes back.

I hate corporate only named Bowl Games. It makes an even bigger mockery of the bowl system. Have an actual name for the bowl and have it sponsored. 

Did you know Michigan played in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl? Well it was called the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl. And since has been the Ticket City Bowl, the Motel 6 Bowl, The Cactus Bowl, and the original Cheez-It Bowl. 

The payout isn’t even worth having to go through the hassle of saying to your team: “Alright guys we can make or break our season by winning the Duke’s Mayo Bowl”
