Have you ever felt worse about our chances going in to conference play?
Yea Big Ten! I'm watching the Big Ten Network and I'm happy and proud of our Big Ten bretheren. A good bounce back win for Rutgers against Navy, a nice come from behind victory for Iowa over Pittsburgh, a solid win for the Terrapins over the Orange. And then there is the fantastic win the Hoosiers had not only over Missouri but over the ESS-EEE-CEE. Then come the Michigan highlights, sheeeeit. Low lights, really. I look at our upcoming schedule and I can't get myself to see more than one or two wins. Okay, one win; I really didn't want to sound like I've given up on the team but I'm trying to be more honest this year. I'M KIDDING, I'M NOT GIVING UP ON THE TEAM.
Still, as I try to give positive responses on other threads, I can't help but feel 'they ain't no coming back from this'. It seems the whole conference is making natural progress teams are supposed to make that we seemed to be stuck at; I'm probably only addressing those very old fans that are likey not with us no more but does anyone remember a conference season with so little promise?

If we can't run we can't win.
We can't run.

My bet is the players and staff are ready to roll.

This is definitely the worst I've felt in my approx. 30 years of M fandom. I will say I am more numb this time around, than at any time in my memory. In 2008, we didn't have much talent, but we had more hope than we have now. Now, we (I suppose) have talent, but it's not being effectively developed. The talent issue then, is about a push. The hopelessness I have about our coaching staff (95% on Hoke) makes this worse.
That said, play Shane. No knock on the man, but Devin appears shellshocked, and you have to get him out of there. Too bad, too, because he's given his all, and he's been let down by the folks he's looked up to.
