That "T.E.A.M." on the back of Fickell's shirt is funny. Reminds me of a kid whose mom put his name on everything.

Tune in!
Each

Man on this team working together makes it work
September 9th, 2017 at 1:49 PM ^
Hopefully the demons of the first half thread have been exorcised.
September 9th, 2017 at 1:49 PM ^
We are the ones with the pick six...
September 9th, 2017 at 1:49 PM ^
THIS IS NOT ENJOYABLE
September 9th, 2017 at 1:49 PM ^
Korn. less pitbull
September 9th, 2017 at 1:49 PM ^
Cin coach looks like Adam Sandler.
What a goober.
September 9th, 2017 at 1:52 PM ^
totes
September 9th, 2017 at 1:51 PM ^
four or five times in the second half, and it still wouldn't feel great after that first half.
September 9th, 2017 at 2:03 PM ^
Well, we are one of the youngest teams in the country. For a lot of guys this is basically their debut at the Big House. Some growing pains are probably to be expected.
September 9th, 2017 at 1:52 PM ^
If the bearcats were holding back against Austin Peay last week, might we be doing the same this week? I am not worried at all. The best is yet to come brothers and sisters.
September 9th, 2017 at 1:52 PM ^
Didn't even come to play. They're dropping the passes and making poor decisions on offense. But we just seem to want to make this an interesting game by committing our own mistakes. Maybe Harbaugh wants to win the mistake competition as well as the game itself??
September 9th, 2017 at 1:52 PM ^
The secondary is showing its youth with a better QB. Our offense has been a no show Today. I hope Harbaugh gets their butts in gear.
September 9th, 2017 at 1:52 PM ^
Prob best I'm stuck at a kids birthday party.
September 9th, 2017 at 1:53 PM ^
That's not why you started this thread lol, if it was the other way around you'd be crying
September 9th, 2017 at 1:54 PM ^
I'm almost willing to take my lumps in B1G play with Peters if it prepares us to be serious contenders for the next 2-3 years.
September 9th, 2017 at 1:55 PM ^
Offense (especially Speight) needs to settle down and execute.
When will Michigan have a true power running game to maul a D like Cincy?
September 9th, 2017 at 1:55 PM ^
Is 2 pm and halftime is only half over. Abomination of a first half.
September 9th, 2017 at 1:56 PM ^
new half. New game! let's go blue!!
September 9th, 2017 at 1:56 PM ^
Our band just delivered a more inspired performance than our offense.
September 9th, 2017 at 1:56 PM ^
Start coaching Cincinnati?
September 9th, 2017 at 1:56 PM ^
It doesn't seem like we're in any danger of losing as long as Speight doesn't hand anyone 14 points, but this will be a humbling experience for our young guys who might have thought we were the greatest thing since sliced bread after last week
September 9th, 2017 at 1:57 PM ^
...much more Isaac. Wish we'd have some sort of RB screens or get them involved in the pass game. WRs don't seem to be getting much separation. I don't think we have a RB reception yet this year?
September 9th, 2017 at 2:01 PM ^
Plus Cincinnati has no respect for Wilton. Keeping people up for the run.
September 9th, 2017 at 2:03 PM ^
whenever we are in a formation that looks to be a run, the linebackers are like 3-4 yards off the LOS and the safeties are creeping up. Need Speight's passing game to keep them off the LOS. No respect right now
September 9th, 2017 at 2:00 PM ^
I have a feeling this will be a month of comfortable wins that make us intermittently annoyed.
September 9th, 2017 at 2:00 PM ^
we have 2 major issues on offense.
1. Offensive line is NOT getting it done. Florida's defense was getting blown off and Cincy is eating them up
2. Speight needs to get the passes under control. He's only missed 3 but they were horrible misses.
Defense looks worse than last week but it is a let down week and they don't look horrid like the offense
September 9th, 2017 at 2:04 PM ^
The defense has 7 points and a bunch of sacks. The TD they gave up was on a short field with Bush injured. And they've gotten no help from the offense.
September 9th, 2017 at 2:06 PM ^
But Cinci is running a ton of high variance blitzball. If they can stay on the field the RBs should break a couple.
September 9th, 2017 at 2:08 PM ^
defense has been on the field a lot and looked tired in that last series
September 9th, 2017 at 2:55 PM ^
A lot of people jumping the gun...
September 9th, 2017 at 2:01 PM ^
That's the worst half of football since Harbaugh took over. Reminded me of Hoke and Rodriguez. Stunk like a porta john on a hot day.
September 9th, 2017 at 2:02 PM ^
I just ate a halftime donut. So I've done my part.. now let's go blue!
September 9th, 2017 at 2:02 PM ^
our offense needs some serious reps all over.
September 9th, 2017 at 2:03 PM ^
is this working on android? family driving through WV and not enough signal to stream, but was counting on playbyplay
September 9th, 2017 at 2:07 PM ^
You might want to bite the bullet and gamecast. Less clever than this space but the play by play is helpful if you're only getting intermittent signal/updates.
September 9th, 2017 at 2:05 PM ^
We'll either see them turn it on in the second half or win a sludgefart game. Just depends what they want to do. The whole team is pretty blah.
September 9th, 2017 at 2:07 PM ^
Weird game.
Michigan is averaging 8.5 yards per pass and 4.5 per run. Cincy is averaging 3.5 per pass and 2 yards per rush. We have a pick six.
Only up 10.
Those three fumbles and the shit review were killer. Probably 31-0 or 35-0 without it.
September 9th, 2017 at 2:09 PM ^
Speight needs to show something. "Not bad" or "he only missed a few throws" doesn't cut it. He's not leading and the offense looks sloppy in no small part because of him. Go blue!
September 9th, 2017 at 2:09 PM ^
Whole Big Ten is kinda sleepy. Ferentz always fucks up the Iowa State game, but Wisconsin only up 10 on the Hello Kiffins.
September 9th, 2017 at 2:12 PM ^
Lane is still great at offensive design and play calling. Interacting with other adult humans has always been his problem.
September 9th, 2017 at 2:09 PM ^
I just... strongly disagree with that timeout with 20 seconds left in the half. Very little upside and got them back into plausible field goal range. Sure, 4 out of 5 times that penalty (or some other form of conversion) doesn't happen, but what was there to really gain? Unless Michigan just had the wrong personnel on the field?
September 9th, 2017 at 2:11 PM ^
I think the purpose was to induce a punt by UC. Didn't work, obviously, but I still think it was the right call.
September 9th, 2017 at 2:10 PM ^
We are Michigan. There is 0 reason for us to not have a superstar at QB especially with Jim Harbaugh.
We should be able to go recruit the #1-4 QBs in the nation. Instead they're going to Clemson, Stanford, USC. So annoying...
September 9th, 2017 at 2:14 PM ^
Peters, McCaffrey and Milton aren't exactly chopped liver.
The QB play is frustrating in the interim but they'll get there.
September 9th, 2017 at 2:10 PM ^
The team needs coffee, I need a little alcohol, lol
September 9th, 2017 at 2:11 PM ^
Have the type of defense we should score 50 or more points on. It is still possible if Wilton starts playing better!
September 9th, 2017 at 2:11 PM ^
And get our shit together on O.
September 9th, 2017 at 2:12 PM ^
Iowa, OSU, FSU, spring game, Florida and today.
