“The player development is the main thing I like (about Michigan),” Williams said. “You can see that they develop their players. They get them in the gym and they work them hard. And their hard work pays off.”
FWIW. Michigan doesn't seem inclined to get re-involved.

"He's a hard worker, and he watched me and Tim (Hardaway Jr.) and Nik (Stauksas) put work in to become (first-round picks), and I'm just happy he's getting better," Burke said. "It's great for the program, too. It shows what type of program the University of Michigan is and the direction it continues to go in."

Ha! "No offense, but phork is a fucking dick"
That's pure gold, well done.
We traded down, badly.
Who can forget "Jimmy Clausen For Heisman"?
You are just jealous of Ron Powlus and his 4 straight.
They knew what was about to happen at 23 seconds! The comments are priceless! "He's a poor thrower!"
Denard must love to watch this as well.
What a sweet victory it was!
Go Blue!
Go blue!!
I smell chicken.
I can't wait to kick ND's ass for the next 2 seasons; we will ride out on top so they can continue their rivalry with Purdue.
I actually despise them more than that school down south. Losses to them suck worse for me than losses to other rivals. I ALWAYS root for ND to lose (which thankfully they do a lot) and I typically root for any BIG team against nonconference foes. The OSU program may be extremely shady and has too many players tending toward thugs, but the ND program and players are smarmy, whiny, privileged, pampered and thoroughly overrated. Here's hoping for another 38-0 rout this year. This string of nail biters has gone on too long.
To hell with the Irish. Can't wait to sit in the stadium and watch them get beat under the lights again
Back when I was walking across your lawn, ND was who we really wanted to beat. Ohio was pretty close to being just another win. Both programs are now important wins, but for different reasons. Times have changed. ND seems like a game we shouldn't lose and OSU becomes the benchmark because of their talent, recruiting base and national stature. It's time to let ND go back to playing the Duke's, Purdue's and Virginia's of college football. That's how their myth was built. Just as ours was built as a perennial top-ten program that annually played its most important game in late November. It all worked. Hell with those chicken shits.
That video isn't that bad/embarrassing- but I appreciate everyone's effort to trash a rival at any moment.
Still, to hell with nd
Phork,
What should expect from ND offensively? How did they look Saturday? Biggest strengths and weaknesses?
I would expect a lot of run initially and then the Rees air raid will be on.
But seriously we rolled out to a 14-0 lead and went into cruise control. Kelly has never been one to run up scores (protip: if ND is favoured by a lot, take the points you'll win a great a great clip). I was a little concerned with the defense but that Temple QB is a good player.
Rees tossed 350 yards with a 70% completion rate (typical Tommy over/under throws) but looked pretty surgical. 3TDs and 0 turn overs, I'll take it.
Honestly I can't say what to expect, this game is so close year after year (aside from the 38-0 abberations) which is why I hate that its going away.
can't wait, that means it will be the Mattison blitz parade on that statue....
Thanks for the fan's view. Ignore the chumps here - very fans base has them, I am afraid.
I don't like Notre Dame, but concede that, other than being over-rated and enjoying it, the school/team does things right. I always hope to see them undefeated except at the hands of Michigan (unlike, say, MSU, which I hope loses every game). That will change after M stops playing you guys, though - then I will hope you drop every game, like I hope any top competitor that we don't play does.
I'm sorry to see this series disappear, and sorry that ND cancelled it in such a manner - the latter because it just makes it harder to restart. I can't say that I blame ND for cancelling, though. They had to cancel one of their "traditional" games, and the Michigan one was the one that paid off the least to play.
In seriousness, I didn't watch your game. How did you guys go for almost 550 yards and only score 28 points? I didn't notice any turnovers on your side so that can't be it.
Missed 2 FGs, our special teams look to be horrid again but I did see something I haven't seen in 4 years under Kelly, a punt return! Yes we had ZERO turn overs. The game really should have been something in the 40s. Reminded me of the USF game a few years back. over 500 yards of offense but couldn't score to save our lives.
won't finish this game. Either coach pulls him or he goes out being "chicken" to play any more - just like the nd AD. Just go to the ACC and STFU.
Go Blue!
As Bo would say, "to Hell with Notre Dame"
I visited NDs campus this summer. It is awful. You can see all the tradition. But every building is the same boring color brick and there is no real town to go with the campus. It was a dud of a campus. Everything at that school is built up on hype.
Goddamn Tailback pass last year.
What are they, a bunch of red-headed guys with bad tempers or somethin? Tsss...tsss.

Someone please reupload "Brady Quinn For Hesiman" on YouTube.
PAYBACK!!!
The Irish did not deserve the record that they had last year and they don't deserve the ranking they have this year. They got exposed by a dominant team and looked slow and weak in the National Championship game.
I like our team at home with our defense to rush the QB and gash their defense for points. Funchess, Dileo, Gallon (of course), Norfleet, T. Gordon, Countess, and R. Taylor will play hero manball. If our offensive line gives Gardner some time and a pocket, we will score enough points and put pressure on Rees to make plays.
Do I think we are a much better team than the Irish? YEAH. I just hope the team holds it together and our game plan is a winning one.
GO BLUE - Beat the Irish
So wait a minute... We both lost to a common opponent, jail sex'd is the word I would use. Except you lost 4 more games. Yet ND had one of the best defenses in the nation against one of the tougher schedules and doesn't deserve their ranking? LOLWUT?
LOLWUT!?! Haha...ummm dude, "tougher schedule" is a joke. At the beginning of 2012, most CFB analyst and fans would have given you that one. By the end of last season you played no better than a mediocre BIG schedule.
Seriously, you went 12-0. Lucky or not, that's is an accomplishment; but to not have the sense to recognize that despite your 12-0 record, you had no business in the MNCG. It was the system. And playing Bama, well, and getting crushed was an embarrassment. We are still disappointed by our loss to Bama, but it wasn't on the biggest stage or the biggest college football game of the year.

These people would disagree.
to argue with a phork.
Huge game Saturday. Would love to see UM with three tight ends, Gallon, Norfleet, Fitz and Green get it going. The cherry would be a grinding, clock consuming ground game, with an occasional Chesson post for the score(s). Monday daydreaming, ahhhh....
Well there is your problem. I am just trying to have interactive fan relations, certainly not trolling any more than you guys are. I am an adult, I can take it the hits. Give me your best.
I've been hoping point voting would come back for this but oh well ...
Here's my contribution to Notre Dame week.
