Michigan vs. Alabama Open Thread

Submitted by M-Wolverine on September 1st, 2012 at 6:47 PM

OK, all the main afternoon games are decided. Show time. You know what you want to talk about now. Maybe they have a Liveblog set up under the new specs, but we all love an open thread, no? Feel free to talk about the other games of interest on commercial breaks. Let's Go Blue!

You have to remember we are trying to play big boy football with spread style recruits. They were bigger and stronger than us, and unfortunately that's all there is to it.

That PI call is horseshit. Total horseshit. Both players initiated contact. He just dropped it. It pisses me off that this could actually be competitive if some calls could've gone our way. It's hard enough playing against a team like this.

In the game of football, never expect calls to go your way, especially in the deep South.

Herbstriet finally made a good point. Michigan will be much more competitive a few years down the road. We can at least admit that hoke saw that we need more size on both our lines and he has been recruiting that.

More pipkins, Kalis, Dawson, fox, LTT, wormley, Bosch, magnuson, strobel and last, but not least, Kugler. Offensive and defensive lines are what Hoke is building, and it's what will make us a handful in the future.

Bama size reminds me of how my Michigan squad use to look..... Big RB's, big offensive line.... Smash mouth. Saying that we have to recruit size as well as skill.
