Bitched about refs for any of our road games yet. I've always figured it was part of the game on the road. This however is absolute horseshit. This is the worst officiating job I have seen. It's usually a call here or there. This is blatant bad calls and all one way

Bad line up. Horrible effort. Bad fundamentals. Looks like we were beaten. Need to show some Heath second half. Can do it but it looks so so bad.

Izzo is only 19-11 against UM
Izzo is only 19-11 against UM
That's not that impressive considering the Ellerbe/Amaker years.
Then again, looks like it will be 20-11 pretty soon.

I don't know how anyone can deny that. How in the world can you get into this arena tonight and not be up to the task. Most of our players are not. Soft is the key word for this team.
February 12th, 2013 at 10:59 PM |
Yep
Yep
Soft physically (see: the last minute of that half), soft mentally (see: all of our road losses). They just get outworked and outhustled.
Inspiring haters to hate since 1817.

You have no post threat and you rely solely on jump shooting, you'll never have consistency because its easier to defend and shooters are streaky. Defensively we haven't been good in a few weeks.

These guys need someone to yell in their damn ears at halftime. Seems to me that no one on the coaching staff can do that. Pathetic first half and I hope to God they come out a totally different team in the second half.

Helps turn bad defense into good defense, great. But yelling is highly overrated and most good coaches don't have to do much of it.

SICK of hearing that. I
SICK of hearing that. I
SICK of hearing that. I wasnt super talented at my sport but ALWAYS played my behind off and always brought defense to my game. Even when offense lacked. It doesnt matter what age you are - people either have that drive to play defense or not. I coached many teams since and some kids do it and have that internal drive and some dont. Whether 6 years old, 11 or 18 yrs old.
And when we play as a team, when the old season is over, you and I know.. it's gonna be Michigan again. Michigan.

Well, State is shooting out

Well, State is shooting out of their mind also. They haven't made a ton of open shots, most of them are contested, they're just going in. If we get any closer to them, the refs blow the whistle.
