Because that first half blew! Take a break for 15 minutes and come back here. Start fresh

the refs.  

Man that right foot left foot review was so bad.  

And yes, that did make a difference on the last drive.  Whether it would have any effect on the game is another matter.  

(wow my affect/effect usage is bad. I'm probably still wrong.  Oh well, time for a shot).

Based on the first half, I suspect that ND has an elite offense. Golson is playing as well as any M opponent since Vince Young. Unfortunately, I also suspect that their defense isn't nearly as good as we're making them look. The OL will need to improve a lot by the end of the season.

is overwhelming, No?

 

No Michigan team since 2006 has played like Bo's teams.  Bo's teams didn't need miracles to beat Northwestern at home, or last second field goals to beat the Spartans.

 

Hoke has more miracle wins than losses, it will catch up with him and his record will eventually reflect what a mediocre coach he really is.

During this horrible game that we are both watching as Michigan fans, Bo's death is probably the last thing I want added as a cherry on top.  

(edit: and based on my time on this forum, I know you're not trolling.  I'm just already hurting, is all).

The nepotism at Michigan needs to end.  These guys are taking care of the friends of the program.  It's the same thing that happens to a big successful company over time.  Politics and nepotism take over and independent thought dies!  When a new leader comes in (Like Rich Rod) the powers that be work to sabbotage that person at every turn.  

It's only after years of collapse that the culture changes and someone else can come in.  That is the state of Michigan Football.

The same thing happened at Alabama until a strong personality/ego (Saban) came along.  Name one nice guy coach that has ever tranformed any program in college football!  None!  Ever!

Big personalities like Bo, Woody, Saban, etc. are the ones that succeed.

Plenty of time, but we look tentative, and anything but aggressive.

Trouble is, no more Tommy Rees to throw a few picks.

Looks like our players are nervous.
