Gameday Open Thread
Had to start this because it's hurting me listening to Corso and Herbie try to analyze Michigan. Both are trying to talk about Michigan recruiting poorly especially at the skill positions....where we only have 2 5* backs on the roster and a WR destined for the first round.

Glad it took Nuss three quarters to try one last week

What we need is a route ninja like Gallon. Or guys have great size and straight line speed but don't necessarily get separation quickly. We need a guy that can go what ND did to us, which is allow the quarterback to throw on a three step drop in time.
Canteen is that guy but the coaches feel he's too raw to see the field yet. I hope that changes soon because I think he can have a big impact.

Early on when you are trying to establish rhythm its just as bad as running into a stacked box. So I sort of understand the reluctance by Nuss to go deep and keep focus on the core bread and butter offense that grinds out drives, especially early in the game.
That said, I was somewhat disappointed we didn't take a couple more shots v ND as the game wore on, even if the 3 & out sent the message to ND that we're going to try to beat you deep. The blitz pressure may have been the counter point to that but I never felt like we tested them that way.

Michigan fans are never happy
September 13th, 2014 at 12:18 PM ^
are never happy with shitty football
September 13th, 2014 at 10:36 AM ^
We have recruits, including at skill positions. We played ok in trenches. Let the guys develop, hopefully starting to show today.

What makes OK not good enough? Because "this is Michigan?" In case you haven't noticed we haven't been even OK for much of the last 7 years. I'd love to be good right now, but you don't get from last year to good without crossing OK first. If we look OK, then look a little better every game, we might be decent by the end of the year. That isn't just a moral victory or accepting mediocrity, it's an acceptance that these things take time, anf there still is time for Nuss and this offense (I'm not to worried about the D)

Because up until the day Lloyd retired, Michigan had never lost a football game. Therefore we never had to look for positives in losses ever

oh man, rig for high winds and heavy seas.
But if it is 2014 App State - well we still don't know a damned thing.

Does anyone have any clue of possible injuries for today's game? Just wondering in Funchess, Peppers, or Taylor are playing.
September 13th, 2014 at 11:19 AM ^
Based on the type of injuries and how they went down my assumption is neither Funchess or Taylor would play this week. I am assuming Peppers will because he was dressed before the game and they tested him out to play and he was a last second no go so I assume a week later he will be ok to go.
If Gardner's injury is due to that hit on the last play of the game (if he is indeed out) that's just another piece of tinder on the Hoke fire.

They may be lambasting UM, sure, but on the other hand at least we're getting talked about. I fear the day when UM is little more than an afterthought, that's the day you know you've truly decended into mediocrity in every way as a program. Although, that kind of was us until we got destroyed on the scoreboard by ND *tear*
September 13th, 2014 at 11:30 AM ^
The way they're talking about us is as if we're an afterthought. It's a little pithy feature every week, as in "this week in Michigan fail,"' complete with shots of Hoke looking confused, disastrous stats, and depressing state-of-the-program analysis. A good seven years of this shit now. Enough.
September 13th, 2014 at 12:13 PM ^
much longer
September 13th, 2014 at 12:23 PM ^
Big Ten championships. How is that "much longer"?

Watching him talk about a loss is the exact opposite of our coaching staff.
dead horse beaten.
September 13th, 2014 at 11:33 AM ^
And hearing him talking about zero tolerance about violence against women is the polar opposite of Hoke's "family issues" garbage with Gibbons last year.

Bowling Green and Indiana in a good one...

I don't get BTN here. Does anyone have a link to an internet feed for the game? Thanks!
