Well, this is it...the death of my being a passionate michigan fan. As an alum, it pains me to say it...but this is a shitshow, and I'd rather be mowing my lawn.

It's been a fantastic 15 years Michigan Football. No more.

If we just punted back and forth, Minnesota would gain 20 yards of field position every fucking time. I just can't be on board with this coaching staff with how awful they are at adjusting to data. Oh and that lack of developing most of the players.

I.

 

In the greenest of our valleys,
   By good angels tenanted, 
Once a fair and stately palace -- 
   Radiant palace -- reared its head. 
In the monarch Thought's dominion -- 
   It stood there! 
Never seraph spread a pinion 
   Over fabric half so fair.

 

II.

 

Banners yellow, glorious, golden, 
   On its roof did float and flow; 
(This -- all this -- was in the olden 
   Time long ago) 
And every gentle air that dallied, 
   In that sweet day, 
Along the ramparts plumed and pallid, 
   A winged odour went away.

 

III.

 

Wanderers in that happy valley
   Through two luminous windows saw 
Spirits moving musically 
    To a lute's well-tunèd law, 
Round about a throne, where sitting 
   (Porphyrogene!) 
In state his glory well befitting,
    The ruler of the realm was seen.

 

IV.

 

And all with pearl and ruby glowing
   Was the fair palace door, 
Through which came flowing, flowing, flowing,
   And sparkling evermore, 
A troop of Echoes whose sweet duty 
   Was but to sing, 
In voices of surpassing beauty, 
   The wit and wisdom of their king.

 

V.

 

But evil things, in robes of sorrow, 
   Assailed the monarch's high estate; 
(Ah, let us mourn, for never morrow 
   Shall dawn upon him, desolate!) 
And, round about his home, the glory 
    That blushed and bloomed 
Is but a dim-remembered story 
    Of the old time entombed.

 

VI.

 

And travellers now within that valley, 
   Through the red-litten windows, see 
Vast forms that move fantastically 
   To a discordant melody; 
While, like a rapid ghastly river, 
   Through the pale door, 
A hideous throng rush out forever, 
    And laugh -- but smile no more.

A stunning lack of offense. Is there a single playmaker on this team? This is worse then Nick Sheridan....Nuss has been an epic fail! I just don't understand this team
