Michigan - Iowa Game Thread
I've never done one of these before but it's about 20 minutes to kick-off and none of the usual suspects have stepped forward so I guess it's time. I'm feeling good about this game and think Michigan wins 24-14. Meanwhile, over on ESPN Sparty takes on the Cats at noon so we've got plenty of Michigan (the state of) football to watch early.

Who scores more points today the offense or defense?
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:15 PM ^
In the score predictions I said 27-24 with all 3 phases scoring 1 TD and tacking on 2 FG's. Let's goooooo
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:14 PM ^
It would be cool to dominate today and gain some lost confidence for the game.
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:14 PM ^
Wile's a STUD.
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:15 PM ^
Entire board gets flagged for excessive celebration.
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:16 PM ^
Instead of helmet off we take off our pants!?
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:15 PM ^
Should just score on D more often. That seems easier than FB Speed Options.
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:17 PM ^
Nice opening defensive play, but a little soft on the second series.
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:18 PM ^
Has Iowa scored?
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:21 PM ^
Stiffened up and did a great job shutting down that drive! Nice work.
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:18 PM ^
So is Ruddock now the Unstoppable Throw God?
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:18 PM ^
That speed option was very obviously a check by DG at the line, so blame him if you must.
It seems like you guys are so excited to post your hatred for Al that you forget to, you know, watch the game.
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:19 PM ^
Borges.
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:20 PM ^
The check off worked better than the original play probably would have, but it's still odd to have a pitch play to a fullback.
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:23 PM ^
Agreed. DG might have forgotten who his RB was. And it sucks that DG has such a limited number of plays to check into. Still, hating Al Borges has obviously taken priority over actually watching the game for a big segment of the fanbase.
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:21 PM ^
We've seen that check before. The problem is that the coaches don't trust any RB to pass block, so Kerrige is back there to block. And when Devin wants to check, guess who becomes the pitch man...
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:20 PM ^
well Jake came to play today
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:20 PM ^
Awesome tackle Ryan
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:20 PM ^
Whoosh!!
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:20 PM ^
Should have punted
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:20 PM ^
Shankapotomus this guy
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:20 PM ^
Can you buy the jacket Mattison's wearing?
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:22 PM ^
Of course you can. That's why they wear them. Plus, who is our AD?
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:21 PM ^
God I love Mattison. That dude is fucking nails
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:23 PM ^
Defense has started out aggressive. Play 60 minutes that way and we have a good shot at the W.
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:21 PM ^
Iowa. Gotta capitalize with points.
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:21 PM ^
Besides Jake Ryan on that drive, Willie Henry continues to play well.
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:22 PM ^
For the life of me I don't get why Courtney Avery plays so much. He is not one of the top 2 safities or top 4 CBs IMO. Is that a Hoke, Mattison, or Mallory decision?
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:27 PM ^
I've been saying this forever and yet he is always on the field.. It drives me crazy
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:22 PM ^
Let's go offense!
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:22 PM ^
Great start to this game. Now we need a good drive here to at least give Iowa bad starting psotions, but hopefully for points.
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:23 PM ^
Can we get Norfleet in there to run that play???
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:24 PM ^
An end a round without bringing in Norfleet to tip the play?
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:24 PM ^
Fire Borges?
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:26 PM ^
Fire Borges. Get it trending, twitterers. #FireBorges
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:26 PM ^
Si, señor.
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:27 PM ^
Fixed that for ya chief.
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:24 PM ^
Shoot out in WL
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:25 PM ^
Another option on 3rd down. Awesome.
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:25 PM ^
What the fuck was that?
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:25 PM ^
So everyone loves Green and hates Fitz? How'd they do on their first carries again?
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:26 PM ^
This is a dumb comment.
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:26 PM ^
Fitz had a hole, Green faced an unblocked LB.
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:26 PM ^
Green was hit by someone who was unblocked...that usually doesn't work out too well.
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:26 PM ^
Pretty hard to run the ball when you are hit right when you get the ball!
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:27 PM ^
It wasn't obvious on 2nd an one when they bring in Green in an Ace set...everyone knew what was coming.
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:27 PM ^
Um, did you see the completely unblocked LB run right through the line because they tried an incredibly obvious run play that Iowa knew was coming considering they had 5 guys on the LOS and both LBs 2 yards off the LOS who immediately ran right to the point of attack and got there before Green could?
November 23rd, 2013 at 12:28 PM ^
I like Fitz, he just isn't very good
