the cuse is 6-2 after today. must have been the coaching
October 30th, 2010 at 9:39 PM ^
much happier now and probably laughing his ASS off....
October 30th, 2010 at 9:52 PM ^
It was the coaching.
October 30th, 2010 at 9:31 PM ^
yah that says it all.
October 30th, 2010 at 9:52 PM ^
Yes, but sadly, we choose not to.
October 30th, 2010 at 8:44 PM ^
hope Denard's okay.
October 30th, 2010 at 8:45 PM ^
a defense this bad at any decent D-1 school in the last 10 years? I would like to know, because every game is painful to watch. 2nd and 21? 3rd and 18? No big deal vs. Gerg. It just seems like the D never progresses (ya, I know, players, etc. but really).
October 30th, 2010 at 9:26 PM ^
and I am going to boot the next person that says I can't blame the coaches for it in the nuts. There have been 2.5 recruiting classes by this staff and the defense gets progressivly worse each year.
October 30th, 2010 at 9:58 PM ^
Touché
October 31st, 2010 at 7:20 PM ^
Beware the bleak humor ;)
October 30th, 2010 at 9:58 PM ^
honestly say that I have never seen our D look this putrid in the past 40 years. We stopped PSU once in the first half...once goddammit! PSU was 9 for 37 on 3rd down conversions coming into this game. Way to improve their stats D...just shoot me and end this misery. How the fuck does OSU recruit the talent they get? How are we missing the goddamn boat? Jesus...we suck!
October 30th, 2010 at 8:45 PM ^
We have a defense on the field? Who knew.
October 30th, 2010 at 8:46 PM ^
asdashdsahd as hsadas graaaaaaaarghfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
October 30th, 2010 at 8:48 PM ^
Absolutely terrible, but this is what we are stuck with for now.
This game is not looking promising to me. McGloin is going to feel very comfortable out there all day...
October 30th, 2010 at 8:49 PM ^
This game is going to test both my ability to consume alcohol as well as my self control in not throwing a remote control through my new TV. I want to punch things.
October 30th, 2010 at 8:52 PM ^
drink!
October 30th, 2010 at 8:56 PM ^
HOPKINS RAGE!!!!
October 30th, 2010 at 8:57 PM ^
Get big MIKE COX in there as well. He will surely make a hole for Denard to run thru.
October 30th, 2010 at 9:01 PM ^
and I still don't. Considering how PSU is having such an easy time so far after everybody around here assured us that they were too banged up on the OL to offer any resistance and that their QB situation was going to doom them, I look forward to the confident predictions that we'll pound Illinois and slaughter Purdue.
October 30th, 2010 at 9:03 PM ^
our defense will keep every team in the game
I understand that we're young but my god
October 30th, 2010 at 9:20 PM ^
Being young has nothing to do with the BS they are putting out there tonight. It doesn't take years of experience to stop Royster on 4th right there. 8 of our 11 guys touched him behind the line of scrimage. A joke.
October 30th, 2010 at 9:10 PM ^
but we really SHOULD beat Purdon't.
October 30th, 2010 at 9:51 PM ^
Bottom-tier B10
October 30th, 2010 at 9:06 PM ^
STOP putting VINCENT SMITH back in!!!
October 30th, 2010 at 9:07 PM ^
Denard overthrows too many passes.
October 30th, 2010 at 9:07 PM ^
Wow we made a field goal.
October 30th, 2010 at 9:14 PM ^
A walk-on QB is moving the ball up and down the field on us....this is a joke!
October 30th, 2010 at 9:20 PM ^
Evan Royster and Play Action is moving the ball down the field
October 30th, 2010 at 9:10 PM ^
There's a liveblog for all this...
October 30th, 2010 at 9:10 PM ^
I'm afraid everyone will remember why Royster was considered a high NFL draft pick after tonight
October 30th, 2010 at 9:11 PM ^
Confused defense +1
October 30th, 2010 at 9:12 PM ^
the pass interference call on PSU for hitting Hemingway early, but they come back with a hold against us two plays later.
October 30th, 2010 at 9:14 PM ^
Any evidence that the defense hasn't regressed the last three years: discuss
October 30th, 2010 at 9:16 PM ^
cool no tackling on that 4th and 1
October 30th, 2010 at 9:18 PM ^
The defense doesn't tackle, it takes poor angles and it generally looks confused. Other teams coach players UP, we're coaching them down. At least the offense gives us a shot to stay somewhat close...God I hate our lack of coaching, there's no way in hell this PSU team should be within 20 points of us right now, much less ahead.
October 30th, 2010 at 9:17 PM ^
Negative ten or so by now?
October 30th, 2010 at 9:19 PM ^
We don't have the coaching. No good defensive coaches, no adjustments being made. The head coach just runs around with a whiny "what just happened?" face all the time. This is a pathetic, 5-7 team once again. Un-fucking-believable.
October 30th, 2010 at 9:19 PM ^
This is not a Michigan defense.
October 30th, 2010 at 9:20 PM ^
It's not, it's RR's defense, which he obviously knows nothing about. He can win all the OOC games he wants, but he can't win shit in the Big 10.
October 30th, 2010 at 9:19 PM ^
No chance that we win this game. Previous belief we would win retracted. They will run up the middle on us all night. We are in real trouble. If we don't win this game, Rich Rod is probably gone. Sad because I really like the direction the offense is headed.
October 30th, 2010 at 9:26 PM ^
I think RR stays because of the explosive offense and the playmakers we have, BUT, if GERG is not fired as soon as the clock reads 0:00 after the osu game, then I'll be all for blowing it up and starting fresh.
<br>
October 30th, 2010 at 9:43 PM ^
The offense sucks, too. "But, we gained over 500 yards, duh." Who gives a FUCK? Put points on the board, or go to hell. Stop melting down in the redzone against decent teams. "The players on defense are young/transferring, troll." Then as a head coach, find a way to keep players in the fucking program long enough to contribute; everyone else seems to be able to do it. I'm sick of this, and I've now started counting down the days until Rich Rod's termination is announced on 28 November. "But if RRod gets fired, we won't be able to beat Alabama in 2012." Yes, because clearly this Ringling Brothers shit show that we're watching is going to smash the Crimson Tide. Say what you want, the fact is that a walk-on quarterback is lighting us the fuck up, and a defense with some big injuries is stuffing our "high-powered attack." Pathetic.
October 30th, 2010 at 9:21 PM ^
Some of the details have changed, but ultimately, it will boil down to the same damn thing as last year: we have absolutely no defense whatsoever. We will not win another game this season. The expression on RR's face after the last PSU touchdown tells me he knows that too.
October 30th, 2010 at 9:42 PM ^
It is the exact same face as the last 2 yrs when he knew it was over.
October 30th, 2010 at 11:34 PM ^
Purdue is stinking it up pretty bad this year. I think we have a solid chance against Purdue.
October 30th, 2010 at 9:22 PM ^
It would be less painful
October 30th, 2010 at 9:24 PM ^
This is pathetic, we have 2 weeks to get ready for this game and a walk-on QB is making us look like a JV High School team! Greg needs to go!
October 30th, 2010 at 9:23 PM ^
It's official--we're the most poorly-coached team in the Big 10. What did we do to deserve this, anyway?
