Hurst also retweeted the no-name RB's tweet.

I remember the last time one of them ran their shark-licker about our team-

For whatever bizarre reason, this site has always posted tweets as being from a day later. And then when the tweet fully renders to its proper embed, it goes back to normal.

This has been going on since embedding tweets became a thing iirc.

He'll always be able to tell his kids and grandkids that the last touchdown of his career was a heel clicker. Me and by buddies used to do that in highschool. Thought we were bad ass and pretty funny at the same time. Sixteen years later I finally see it resurface. Couldn't have came at a better time!

I feel uneasy about how confident I feel about this game.  But with a front 7 more experienced than it looks on paper due to rotations last year, a promising group of safeties and the depth of highly rated recruits at CB who will compete thorughout the fall, coupled with year 2 of Don Browns defense, I don't see a brand new QB doing too well in their first game.  And I have a lot more confidence in Harbaugh stringing together enough successful plays to get into scoring range than McElwain and Nussmeier.

No. It's not.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_whole_nine_yards

 

"Perhaps the most commonly offered explanation is that World War II (1939–1945) aircraft machine gun belts were nine yards long. There are many versions of this explanation with variations regarding type of plane, nationality of gunner and geographic area. An alternative weapon is the ammunition belt for the British Vickers machine gun, invented and adopted by the British Army before World War I (1914–1918). The standard belt for this gun held 250 rounds of ammunition and was approximately twenty feet (under seven yards) in length. [12] However, the Vickers gun as fitted to aircraft during the First World War usually had ammunition containers capable of accommodating linked belts of 350-400 rounds, the average length of such a belt being about nine yards, and it was thought that this may be the origin of the phrase. [31] This theory is no longer considered viable, since the phrase predates World War I."

"Beat the brakes off Michigan"?

That's a curious expression.

So, if we get our brakes beaten off, does that mean we just accelerate indefinitely until we reach escape velocity (at Florida's expense)?

Just never heard that before.

2003: No. 12 Michigan defeated No. 22 Florida 38-30 in the Outback Bowl

Michigan RB Chris Perry was the game MVP honors after setting a bowl-game record and a modern-era Michigan bowl record with four touchdowns. Gators fans will remember the disastrous ending well. Trailing by eight, Florida reached the Wolverines 37-yard line and then tried a trick play with a wide receiver reverse pass, but it was intercepted to seal Michigan’s victory.

2008: Unranked Michigan defeated No. 9 Florida 41-35 in the Capital One Bowl

This was the final game for Michigan coach Lloyd Carr, who resigned after 13 seasons, including this last one where the Wolverines had one of the most memorable upsets in college football history, losing at home to I-AA Appalachian State in the season opener as the No. 5-ranked team in the country. The Wolverines played their hearts out for Carr in the bowl game, beating a young Tim Tebow and the Gators in the process. Tebow threw three interceptions that day and passed for only 154 yards. Michigan QB Chad Henne torched Florida’s defense for 377 yards in the air.

2016 Michigan defeated Florida 41-7 in the Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl

Jake Rudock threw for 278 yards and three touchdowns and Michigan's defense dominated throughout in the No. 14 Wolverines' 41-7 victory over No. 19 Florida in the Citrus Bowl. Tailback De'Veon Smith, who finished with 109 yards rushing and two scores.

Yep, and who knows what would have happened had we played them in Glendale in January 2007. I know I know, USC kicked our asses in the Rose. But not real sure our guys were all that motivated after being picked over for the title game.

I think you're a reasonable poster, so nothing personal here, but ...

- USC didn't have any trouble motivating itself for the bowl game.

- Did you watch the Florida - OSU game? I just can't imagine that going well for Michigan, especially with a very good, but also very conservative, coach at the wheel.

and think Florida would've won because Michigan's coaches at the time wouldn't have know what to do with that blitz.   ...that being said, Lloyd somehow had a knack for beating the SEC it seemed.  I guess we'll never know.

Charlie Strong would've taken a dump in Mike DeBord's headset, unfortunately. 

Please don't bring up how we put up 41 on them the next year, because Lloyd emptied every last play in that playbook in that game that we should've been running since 2005.

To be absolutely fair, they were only doing what they were told to do, to block exactly like they had in practice. It is not their fault that the Florida coaching staff was not more precise in their words. Some players simply perform better with clear, unambiguous instruction.
