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.

Really pathetic showing from the d-line the last 5 minutes.
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:46 PM ^
They're exhausted from bring on the field do much!!
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:47 PM ^
This. Holy crap. Got pushed back like 3-5 yds several times in a row. I like rotating d linemen, but I don't think guys like Glasgow should be in there over Henry and QWash against a power team like Iowa. Just doesn't make sense
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:45 PM ^
Alright. New ball game and have to win this 12 minute span. Let's go blue!
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:45 PM ^
Our defense forced 4 turnovers and scored a td. Fuck you Borges and your moronic play calling.
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:46 PM ^
Funchess drops on good throws and play calls have been killers
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:46 PM ^
Game. I'm taking my son to his first michigan football game next week. Poor kid.
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:47 PM ^
Licking their chops
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:47 PM ^
Don't do it man. Little fella will be scarred for life. We're talking years on the couch.
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:51 PM ^
A large group of therapists for our arrival back home.
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:46 PM ^
Weisman vs Taylor? Yeah not going to win that.
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:46 PM ^
Memories fade but I SWEAR this offense is worse than the 2008 defense.
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:58 PM ^
offense is worse than the defense?
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:46 PM ^
offense has about a 5% chance of having an actual scoring drive of 20+ yards, I would say we are now screwed
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:46 PM ^
Fire Borges now!
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:46 PM ^
This is sweet. Winning the TO battle 4-0 and somehow I feel like we're going to lose. Less than 150 yards of offense...
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:46 PM ^
I don't understand our defensive call on 3rd and 10. We shifted our DTs way to the left and pretty much gave away the right side of the field pre-snap.
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:46 PM ^
I love watching our lines get pushed back 3 yds.
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:46 PM ^
Game over, offense won't pick up another first down let alone score a point.
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:47 PM ^
YET nobody realizes thinks that Gardner needs to sit
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:49 PM ^
Do you want Morris to die? He would get killed running Al's plays.
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:50 PM ^
You honestly think it'd be any better putting Shane in there?
There's nothing I'd like more than to turn over our offense to a true freshman and have his confidence forever shattered when he gets massacred by OSU.
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:46 PM ^
i think we're going to add to our 123 yards today with a 4 yard drive after the kick off.
Suck that Baylor. You want offensive? Watch Borges at work.
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:46 PM ^
How about calling the false start on the right TE?
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:47 PM ^
Our whole offensive staff? We were more exciting when rich rod was the coach. We had less linemen and better protection. We have better offensive stats with 8 scholarship offensive linemen
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:47 PM ^
Every team looks tougher than us, and that's on the coaches!
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:47 PM ^
Thanks Borges for consistently NOT countering opponents halftime adjustments
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:47 PM ^
Anyone interested in buying my OSU ticket for, like, an 18 pack of Budweiser or something?
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:47 PM ^
Well at least Michigan has Borges at the helm of a prolific offense.
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:47 PM ^
Looking forward to our 3 and out response to the Iowa TD
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:47 PM ^
Turnover battle 4-0 and they missed a FG, yet the game is tied. They are the better mediocre midwest meh football team right now.
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:47 PM ^
Then incomplete pass, then punt? Sound right?
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:48 PM ^
Time for a solid five-minute, five-first down 78-yard scoring possession.
LOL. Just kidding
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:48 PM ^
Great field position. Wind to our backs. What ya got Al?
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:48 PM ^
There we go! Let's drive, let's score. Funchess needs to get pissed and make a play.
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:48 PM ^
To be a Michigan fan for the last 6 or 7 years. Even 2011 was only benefited by an Ohio like schedule. Were fucked.
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:49 PM ^
What the fuck was that?
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:49 PM ^
What the fuck was that
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:49 PM ^
Gardner is not a good decision maker.
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:49 PM ^
Spend some money in a real coaching staff until them you've lost mine and hopefully more fans do the same.
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:49 PM ^
Run upfield please !!!
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:49 PM ^
Such an incredibly weak runner
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:49 PM ^
You can bash Gardner for holding on to the ball...but NO ONE GETS FUCKING OPEN CONSTANTLY!
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:49 PM ^
I was about to say "why was he jogging so lazily?" but then I realized thats just how he runs. Damnit.
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:49 PM ^
What the fuck is Gardner doing????????
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:49 PM ^
Get the free 6 yds u moron.
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:49 PM ^
With no sense of urgency
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:49 PM ^
WTF GARDNER. FUCK. Just take the positive yds
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:49 PM ^
I like Gardner but his insistence on running backwards kills this offense.
November 23rd, 2013 at 2:51 PM ^
Wow we look comically bad this drive. Lots of dropped passes this game, lots of running backwards. That will kill your offense.
