The history of Michigan and bye weeks

Formatting looks great on my machine.

EDIT:  I meant to say the table completely blocks out the MGoBoard....oops

Most teams did not do bye's back at that time.

Indeed looking at our record since 1991 Michigan is 15-5, and 3-2 vs ranked opponents coming off a bye week. The records from that time are perhaps more relevant if you wanted to make some chart or something,

OMG If we lose to Indiana this year (knock on wood), I swear I will remove you from my YouTube subscription list!

As opposed to like every year for about ten years when it seemed like MSU invariably got the bye week directly before they played us.

Not that the win felt good against UCONN but we did win.

football was essentially started by the Ivy leagues/east coast and spread from there. Michigan was one of the first teams west of the Appalachian Mts.

Champions of the West.

and it's especially appropo this season, I would think. We came out of the gate like gang busters, scoring 100 points against our two first foes, one with a "supposedly" good defense. Then the following two weeks, the qb that led us to these 100 points, and nearing an actual year's experience began to look exactly opposite of what you'd expect. But was he to blame? We knew our OL was very young but talented. After ND, it was apparent they would gel, Fitz would get 120 before half time and Shane would lead the second and third teamers in the second half in games three and four. But anything but the above scenario developed. After a very important victory against a rival of sorts we managed to play at the level of arguably the two worst teams in FBS but for some reason we witnessed some of the ugliest Michigan football in recent history.  So it really doesn't matter what we do after bye weeks imo. What's important is that we have one. This team, and I'm talking about the decision makers on down to those who execute have to decide what the fuck they're going to do because the fan base is in a state of "What the fuck is going on?"  We think we have a farily talented team led by a qb that when pressed into duty last season performed really, really well and in the last two weeks looked like a j.v. qb on a poorly coached h.s. team.                ^ What I find far more interesting than our record after bye weeks is the answer to the question we are all asking ourselves. Is this team going to regroup after the embarrassment of the past two weeks or are they going to treat us to a season of continued "what the fucks?"  Obviously, this if Brady's most important test since becoming HC at UM, and why he gets paid the big bucks because, and I can only imagine, he's asking himself the same questions as we fans are. Obviously, he has far more insight as to what he has to work with and how he's going to go about it. I cannot imagine, even under the strangest scenario, the past two weeks were a test of something we are not familiar with.  All I ask, and I really don't care how, is that he somehow fields a team against MN that is somewhat reminiscent of the team that showed up the first two weeks of the season.  I remember as a youngster when I first heard the words, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." I thought maybe our teacher was playing games with us or perhaps the author had somehow lost his train of thought after writing the first six words.  After watching the last two games, I now know he wrote these words while watching college football.
