Michigan Monday is up

Yes, I’m sure he’s horrified. I’m sure all OSU homers are horrified, given how we’ve manhandled their team the past two decades.

FYI, this is sarcasm, shit birds...

Always love the snarky comments from someone that hurls then from his mother’s basement whilst eating mayonnaise straight from the jar. 

Mason is perfectly suited to be a jarhead. 

The irony here is that is a Stuart light tank.

As in JEB Stuart, Confederate cavalry general.

Ben Mason's tears cure cancer which is unfortunate because he never cries.  The whole encyclopedia of Chuck Norris jokes await co-opting.

It actually looked like he hurt his hand. After he got past Wilson, he stumbles a bit and puts his hand down. Then he flops down, but he appears to be holding his hand/wrist. It's possible he sprained something or jammed his finger(s) in the turf. 

It looked as if a Maryland defender also took a dive--jumping and flailing his arms, well after he was blocked--on the DPJ touchdown that wasn't called back.  Are they coached to do that?

I'm sure part of it is due to Shea still learning the offense, but I think Harbaugh is also keeping things vanilla because:

A) He can. Much like you alluded to, there's no point in showing any razzle dazzle when you don't have to. 

B) Harbaugh is doing everything he can to keep Shea healthy and get him to the OSU game in one piece. We've seen the last two years how things may have been different against OSU if we'd had a healthy or serviceable QB. 

I expect the playbook will open up considerably over the next 3-4 weeks, mostly out of necessity. 

Cool. Underestimation is awesome. Let them be complacent. M needs to keep improving and O-line needs to keep giving Higdon ~100 yards a game. If we get 100 against wisconsin it'll be a good win. Lets see continual effort and improvement. Wins will follow. 

Like OSU's rushing game is anything to write home about. They also have huge problems on defense right now. Chris Spielman said on his radio show the IU QB missed about a dozen open receivers last Saturday and that he's never seen an OSU defense play this poor. Their back 7 despite all those highly ranked players is atrocious. And after watching a solid but far from spectacular PSU defense shut down their offense for 52 minutes they should just be thankful they got a lucky win and don't have to play anyone until the UM game. Although I could definitely see Purdue lighting up their defense in a few weeks.

I went back and about what was the best part and I think it's the "not playing a team with a pulse" part to down play the offense. NW defense is right around were osu' defense is. However, I think the OSU defense dops when the preseason projections are removed. 

That's what they've been building towards since hiring Wilson. There was some speculation that this was an odd pairing that had potential to not work. I guess we'll soon find out.

And their air raid has been them destroying mediocre defenses and struggling against Penn State

You know, Ohio State fans who may be reffing The Game are probably reading this.  Best not to show that kind of hubris or the PI calls will come to "prove you wrong" and show OSU's throw game is nigh undefendable

And to further twist the knife, here's Bell's Hello Post. 

Cheers to you, our sage hermit on a high mountain, who refused to play the recruiting game and yet still reaped the rewards. 

Despite what the idiot announcers said, this play was not a thing of luck.  Patterson put the perfect weight on this pass and Bell...

At 3:36...

I'm calling my shot now.  Bell is UM's next star receiver. 

Jeremy Ruckert. What an idiot. If you are a top TE, you commit to Michigan. Possibly stanford and maaayyyy be ND but very few schools use TE efficiently or prominantly like M does. 

OSU? Yea not so much. Enjoy putting up no stats. 

He has 1 catch for 13 yards this year. I'm sure Urban just hasn't changed the offense for him yet lol.

Jeremy Ruckert is getting playing time, he just can't block anyone, so his ass gets glued to the bench often.
