Yeah

this one in particular has thrown me in a pretty substantial downward spiral.  On my agenda for the rest of the night is a quick viewing of Shindler's List and My Life, followed by a cover to cover reading of the The Road by Cormac McCarthy.  If I am going down I am going to go down hard.

Ouch.  That really did not need to happen.

If Denard could pass, he'd

If Denard could pass, he'd have hit Treezy on the post route, he wouldn't have 3 balls deflected by linemen, and wouldn't just throw balls up for grabs (toward the end of the game).

 

I think he should be our QB, but he can't hit a man when he needs to.

 

Edit:  He also wouldn't invite defenses to stack the box because they know he can't throw

If Treezy didn't slow down to

If Treezy didn't slow down to signal Denard's throw hits him in stride. I thought Denard cut down on just flinging it up for grabs. Most of his throws were solid on the scoring drives in the 4th. The tips at the line are tough, but Denard is 5'11'' which isn't ideal for a QB. I agree it's an issue, and he should consider pump-faking and running by those guys when he's isolated one-on-one on a rollout.

I thought he hit Hemingway fine at the end there, don't you?

He threw at least 3 deep

He threw at least 3 deep balls in the last 5 minutes that I remember that had no chance of being caught.  The pass to Roundtree was several steps ahead of him, and when you're a receiver who's that wide open you need to get your QB's attention. 

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic about hitting Hemingway fine at the end (on the No-TD).  Junior made a hell of a catch on a pretty inaccurate throw.

Yeah I missed the /s tag for the last bit. It was a remarkable catch, and we're obviously all bitter about the call.

It's hard to say if Borges was trying to throw downfield, or nobody was open so Denard just saw one-on-one coverage and made safe overthrows (WAY overthrown obviously). I'm more annoyed with Borges than Denard.

I do agree that Borges shares

I do agree that Borges shares some of the blame.  Not enough quick throws, especially on the last plays of the game.  It couldn't have been more obvious that Iowa wanted to blitz.  A quick-out or a slant would be better than a jump ball.

While I agree he is putting too much blame on Denard, you can't blame that overthrow on Roundtee signaling that he's open.  I mean, Denard didn't even see him until Tree waved his hand.  If Denard could somehow find some touch on his deep-balls (that aren't underthrows on purpose ala ND) he would be so much more dangerous.  I honestly can't remember a throw this year where Denard has hit a receiver running a deep-route in stride.

I agree, there's no doubt

I agree, there's no doubt Denard could have made some more passes, but let's not all jump back on the anti-Denard bandwagon because it just simply makes no sense.  Just remember that for every overthrown pass, he had an amazing play to avoid a sack, etc. that somebody such as Kirk Cousins or Vandenberg wouldn't make.

The receivers have made a ton of mistakes and should be credited with a lot of mistakes as well.  Along with the receivers, we also have to think about Borges.  I am not quite as harsh on him as most people have been, but I do think he needs to work to optimize Denard's abilities.  For instance, if Denard was amazing at over-the-top throws, I'd want Borges to do more of those, but that's just not his strength.  Work to what will make Denard and the offense most effective, which is short passes from shotgun, designed runs, and spreading out opponents.  I think we should work in some of the conventional system, but let's not just throw that stuff out the window until the 4th quarter

The PI on the INT was not in

The PI on the INT was not in the end zone. The INT was, but the PI was at the 5 or so. The TD was not overturned. They failed to overturn the non-TD to give us a TD.

We still had to get a 2pt conversion and win in OT if that was ruled a TD. In all likelihood, we lost that game before those calls. I'm just pissed that they removed all doubt.

Poorly.

I do better, however, with alcohol, but usually I just overeat.

I do even better if MSU, OSU, or ND lose.  

As a side note MSU struggled against Minnesota today.  WTF, did Coach Kill start putting funny stuff in his team's water?  They are competitive all of a sudden.

Illinois has two weeks to prep for Michigan.  I hope we can beat them or we're looking at another end of the year swoon.

What am I gonna do about losing?

I could go complain to Al Borges or to the Big Ten office. But you know what I'm gonna do instead? Nothing! Because if I take it to small claims court, it will just drain 8 hours out of my life and Delaney probably won't show up and even if I got the judgment he'd just stiff me anyway; so what I am going to do is piss and moan like an impotent jerk, and then bend over and take it up the tailpipe!

P. I. on the pick. P.I. on the last play. All the drops. The insistence to call routes 30 plus yards when that type of play just isn't in the cards with Denard. The lack of guts to call a TD a TD.

I am pretty frustrated. They should have had that one.

Ten years ago, it took me days to get over a loss.  Days.

Now, I basically spew a stream of nonsense potty words for about five minutes, as a sort of cleansing ritual.  That usually gets it all out.

Varies time to time: previous

Varies time to time: previous entries have been anger, sadness, alcohol, working out (last few OSU games), my personal favorite was this year after the Central/Eastern we lost in the final minute I hooked up with a girl that goes to Eastern who was visiting her sister who I know, the way I handle that was good I thought

If robinson knew how to pass we would be posting in thread about "how we handle winning"

Can't even remember the last time robinson hit one of those deep routes in stride like he should be able to do with tree in the 4th quarter. Hes obviously our best qb but those last 4 plays were terrible, not one roll out? is nobody telling denard its ok for him to scramble and run?

Denard

completed a higher percentage of passes and for more YPA last year than Chad Henne ever did here. Maybe he CAN pass and our offense this year is designed to maximize his deficiencies.

I'd think the coaches told him to pass.  If he runs and fails, then the game's over.  I was annoyed that the coaches opted for the time-out instead of the spike after Roundtree's last catch.  It would at least give the option for Denard to run the ball once.

Well, I hate to admit it, but, like U-M football of old when we were always in the Big 10 championship hunt at least until mid-season, it's time to disengage a little bit now that we're out of it. In a way, it's nice to know that I don't have to spend as much time on MGoBlog. Thanks for that, boys. I'll be checking out until the game next Saturday.

Also after this week I think of Michgan basketball and how next year Blake Griffin is morphing into one Mitch McGary and he is playing for the Maize and Blue. Plus this year football and basketball both still have a lot to play for.

In the end this is only a game but yeah it sucks that we didn't execute as well as we could have nor did the refs.

I guess I cope with run on sentences.

Every fan base that loses

Every fan base that loses spends the next couple hours spouting off the steam for a bit.  It is normal.  It's this thing called human nature.  However, when you sober up and read again, you'll see many fans sharing the blame with Borges and too many UM miscues.  The refs did not help at all, but they were not to blame entirely.

Kind of like the MSU pass interference against Desmond on the last play.  Yeah refs blew the call, but it was on us for putting ourselves in that position where we relied on that play to win.

Here on the other hand, the refs blew three critical calls, not just one, so it is very reasonable for UM fans to be upset right now.

depends HOW we lose

we put ourseleves in this horrible position, had a chance to bail ourselves out, and then really never had a chance thanks to a couple shakey at best calls.  Winning this one would have felt like grand theft.

 

nothing to do but drink and wait for Alabama/LSU

Let's see...

Hemingway caught a clear touchdown pass that was called incomplete by the refs.  Last play was clearly pass interference that wasn't called by the refs.  I'm thinking score one for the refs.  They still show that they have the power to call games.

So, I'm taking it piss-poorly.

We should be use to it, after the last 3 years!

I just want to see the team once again become a good to great team. It will probably take a while but at least our defense is taking some baby steps in the right direction.

Oh well, looks like 7-5 may be our final record (50 %)  8-4 (40 %) 9-3 (8 %) 10-2 (2%)

I talk to my fiancee...seriously. She knows me like a book shes read a million times.

For example, today she immediately said "That should have been a catch and why didnt they call pass interference"?...so instead of me getting to use those excuses, I end up responding "Well, we put ourselves in that position in the first half and this team is still learning. They will get better. On to next game". She smiles, I'm consoled (and partially optimistic) and the day seems easier.

Philosophically. The older I get, the faster next season's possibilities come around. 

We can still win possibly a couple more this year. And that's not bad for a transitional year. 

You gotta look at the big picture. Otherwise you drive yourself crazy.

That's my reaction too, Firstbase.

Age does have some advantages--a more longterm perspective and more money.  Other than that, I can't really think of any positives to getting older.  Wait, now I have something else to be depressed about.

Borges is as much at fault

Borges is as much at fault for the result as is that clusterfuck of officiating.  I hope all the Rod haters are happy that we're back to prehistoric football with the one caveat being that our coach at least goes for it on 4th down.  What blows my mind is that the blueprint for success is there, but we get a crotchety coach who gets mad about facing bubble screens but has done nothing to improve what was a dynamic offense.  Neg me if you want, but I'm not saying Rod shouldn't have been fired, but Borges looks like the Gerg of the offense.

Borges

has said all the right things, but two straight I formation runs into an 8 box alignment tells me he is like a old basketball player that would really like to crossover dribble and take his man to the basket but discovers he lost the handle on the dribble, tripped over his own feet and watches his defender go the other way for two.

Borges sucked today...and so did my analogy but it's all I had in my mind, since it happened to me recently.

Couldn't agree more

Forget about his passing for a minute.... He seems to wait so long on his runs. Are the lanes not there/just slow to develop or is he just more hesitant this year? Or maybe it's that we've been so spoiled over the last season and a half with some unreal rushing stats that we expect amazing every time he touches it.

You call them dorks?

We are the dorks; simultaneously, we are the jocks. We are everything, and we are nothing that is not everything. This contradiction of being two things that are one thing is really not a contradiction; rather, it is just a thing. To say, however, that "it ain't no thang," would be patently false. Therefore, it is a thing; it is our identity. This is what our identity has become.

But, this party might be the last one at my apartment complex.

I disagree.  Al Borges is AWESOME.  If it wasn't for Hoke, I'd say we should have just kept Rich Rod.

I usually am depressed for a few minutes, and then I remember that it's just sports, and go on with my life.

I face the problem head on. Read message boards, tweets, listen to interviews, and watch highlights to rationalize the loss. The drinking comes later.

I also agree

whether we win or lose, this is normally my routine, just when we lose my frustration usually leads to a blackout

How?

I think of my friend, a big Michigan fan, who is in a very late stage of cancer and I'm glad to have seen UM play a tough opponent on the road, not give up, and fight to the end. And I know I have an excellent chance of seeing that UM team four more times this year; and a pretty goo chance of seeing next year's improving team. My friend doesn't have too many more chances.

On the last drive

my 3 year old kept yelling "Go Denard Robinson!  Go Blue!  Go Denard Robinson!  Go Blue!"

Totally sucks to lose.  I hate how that game ended and when in mixed company, I'll say we were at fault for not playing better.  But we got dicked IMO.  I mean, whatever, it's all good.  I'm not gonna whine about it.  I felt like the fucking father of the year because I waited until her mama put her in the tub (5 pm) before I started drinking as opposed to after the 3rd quarter.

But, I totally agree with you.  The outcome of the game is important, but not nearly as much as the kiddos.  And I got to hear my girl get emotionally involved in a game for the first time.  Awesome.  She rinsed her heart of bad feelings in 4 seconds by pushing 2 of my nieces in circles on a chair.  Kind of makes you think . . .

I take a knife to a can of natural light, cut an egg sized whole, pop the tab, and let the cold beer slide down my throat. Repeat as necessary.

I See Your Drink

and raise your four more. We were out coached. This goes back to my MSU loss reply. We did not throw enough curl routes. We did not run enough ISO plays. They doubled out inside DL and our DEs got minimal pressure. Robbed on a few ref calls. PI, TD and some interior holding.

Drink

Is the elixir of the despondently outraged Wolverine fan.  The long term result is unfortunately alcoholism and general pissoffedness at the universe in general and then specifically at any asshole who went to OSU, MSU or ND.

But one wonders about Denard who just seems to not make good decisions.

i was glad

that my seven year old was not around, because I went apeshit around the house when Vince Smith picked up the ball and ran downfield with it, and I'm sure she would have been terrified. Fortunately, I had nothing left in the tank for the last two minutes, except the conviction that even if they scored two points would be no gimme. 

They made the game interesting in the end, but between bad calls by the refs, uninspired play-calling, and lots of drops and goof-ups, the better team lost.

A flaming...

bag of dog poop on Jim Delaney's front porch should do the trick.



Second...find out what it was that the Iowa DB said to the ref to make him pick up his flag and never throw another the rest of the game. If we can find out what that was, we should be golden in our last three games.

I went to get my oil changed, then played catch with my son for an hour.  I'm all better now.  And my girlfriend still isn't really talking to me because she knows I'm pissed.  Honestly though, we haven't won in Kinnick for a while and its always a tough game. I was fully expecting to lose this one so I avoided my usual beer a quarter consumption and I'm glad I did.

When we play flat (TODAY) I suck it up and act like a man and tell it like it is. They didn't play with passion and played down to the competittion. SUCKS BUT TRUE.

When we drop a game and deserve to win, well hell then its you SOB's you should've won and played with more passion.

I can't talk myself out of it.  it just needs to wear off, like a bad tatoo.

So I watch all the highlights and read all the blogs so many times that it seems like old historical news by 6:30.  This blog and commiserating with you all helps a lot. 

Before the intenet and 24 hour CFB coverage it would take me all week to get over it.  Now, I'll be merely numb by tomorrow.

Yet Again...on Second Thought

Copious quantities of beverage don't seem to work as I continue to punish myself by watching more college football on the tube.  Then I see Northwestern moving toward a huge upset of Nebraska and it's time for the Xanax.

Shit did we shoot ourselves in the dicks today.  The division may have been achievable had we won, but it sure is a long shot now.

When does the coaching staff teach receivers how to catch a fucking football?

I don't. I'm not going to check mgoblog, ESPN, or any other sports site until after our loss in the Little Caesar's Pizza Bowl. We've all seen how this ends before: why bother torturing ourselves? At this stage, I'm pretty much resigned to the fact that we might not beat Ohio State or Michigan State again in my lifetime, and definitely not in the next 3 years.

Nap

Took a nap directly after the game today which helped.  I immediately go into the it's not what happens to you but how you handle what happens to you philosophy and look forward to how the team responds next week.  I definitely do not blame anyone....blame never helps me.

The nap helps revive me for a lot more bourbon and there will be a lot more commencing now.

Denial is a very useful emotion

I turn off the game before the very end. My husband continues to watch in the other room. If we win, he yells in and lets me know, then I can watch it when they replay the last play. If we lose, I wasn't watching, so it's sort of like it never happened. I move on more quickly this way.

Work

I work nights, I stayed up today to watch that mess and I was too pissed off to go back asleep and I'm on 45min. rest.

I scan a few UM boards, hope like hell the hockey team calms me a bit and wish the next game was tomorrow.

I turned 40 this year so that means I'm a man now and I still feel like crap for a few days after a loss and I have little to no interest in football the rest of the week. I may or may not even look at my fantasy team will Wed or so.

If Michigan won today I would be on no sleep and not feel it one bit till the morning when I crash. I'd be happy all night.

SAD PANDA!  I drunk myself numb tonight!  I guess I will shake out of it through the week. My wish of Hoke finishing his first season like Bo has been dashed and we will not win the B1G or go to a BCS game. We'll probably go to the Alamo Bowl and play Texas Tech!  Boo Hoo!

If Hoke can beat OSU, it will make my year and then we should have a parade in A^2 for Hoke!

I agree...ending every practice the chant is "Beat OHIO"...That is still the ultimate mission this year.  We are Bowl eligible but the "game" is still the most important...we are not stock piling confeiti though.
