Official Cowboy Classic Hater's thread: HATERS ONLY!

Submitted by MGOUSMC on

I'm not a offical playa hater but if you want to bitch about one of the following: The band almost not going, our Uniforms, numbers on helmets, d-line gettin blown up, o-line gettin blown up, Denard gettin blown up, our running backs gettin blown up, our db's getting beat deep again and again, stupid penalties(lewan), dave brandon, brent mustburger(i did that on purpose), dee hart, rich rodriguez recruiting undersized linemen, Did I miss anything? please share.

 

 

Edit: Please be advised that everyone deals with disappointment differently and this thread is intended to allow people the opportunity to express their negative feelings towards tonights game. Additionally, This will allow all positive minded people to go to another thread and start to plan for a positive outcome for next weeks game. I intended to do this after a night of hating. Thank you. Please don't Neg bang, i'm trying to keep all the hater's in one thread.

 

Let the hate continue into the night!!!!!!!!

You missed your chance to make a way overplayed popular culture reference that might be so overplayed that regular people aren't comfortable making it anymore, yet it's right on the edge of hipsters making it just to be ironic, and you could have been the coolest person in the world! Eh, I'm upvoting you anyway.

why? because some people go against the only grain of thought accepted on mgoblog? if your saying people should be banned from "a website" because they want to vent about the crapshoot game they just watched, sign me up. Fuck it. The game plan sucked (horribly) , the execution sucked, and we were outplayed start to finish. If you can't come to terms with people not blindly being happy because its Michigan (fergodsakes!) then you sir have the issue. not the rest of the people. banhammer this.

I guess I'm disappointed our offense could not even move the ball. Alabama has a good defense but it is not the stellar defense they had last season. Also was surprised how the AL defensive line just dominated our OL. This needs to be corrected or it could be a long season.

 

I'm sure the coaches will improve this team and I still think they could end up 9-3 or 8-4 and make it to the B1G championship game. Not bad when we are still a few years away from having big boy talent and the necessary depth!

Not using it as an excuse.  We would have lost the game with good refs, Fitz, and possibly a cameo from Tom Brady.  But that is beside the point.  The refs were so one-sidedly terrible, that if it were a close game, I would be seething.  Hopefully we got our fair share of shitty reffing out of the way for the season now.

The missed facemask on Rawls (combined with what looked like phantom holding on Lewan) was a big one that maybe would have given us a chance to stay ahead of the 8-ball while things were still close/manageable until we got our feet wet.

Anyone know what happened on the play where I swear the official threw a flag for pass interference, I took a sip of whiskey, and when I looked back it was still 2nd and 10 back at the original spot?

That was one of the most obvious PI infractions I've ever seen.   Roundtree was shoved to the ground out of bounds - that's legal?  The ESPN recap actually mentions the no-call twice:

 

Milliner, the primary nickelback last season now in a starting role, deflected four passes in the first half, and had an interception after shoving intended receiver Roy Roundtree to the ground and into the Alabama sideline.
...Then came Milliner's big shove that he got away with for a big play. With Roundtree on the ground and the ball in the air, Milliner caught the ball near midfield and returned it to the Michigan 17. Robinson helped make a touchdown-saving tackle, and appeared to grab his right shoulder then.

Alabama would have still beaten us soundly without getting any calls but man, that was frustrating. The phantom halo infraction and the PI on Floyd added insult to injury.

It got almost comical when, after Denard made that great individual effort to convert the 4th and 3 (and injured himself in the process), the officials decided that they just had to stick the knife in deeper and go to the replay booth (for the only time in the game, IIRC).  They couldn't let us get three yards.

I think that was the last (at least while we were mathematically in the game) of many "This just ain't our night" moments.  Really think the freakout is being exaggerated considering our own screw-ups and the level of competition and the guys who didn't play (including Countess, can we stop putting starters on coverage teams?!?!?!).  We needed to play well and catch a few breaks, and we executed terribly out of the gate on offense and got no breaks.  Other than the slip and fall TD, Bama had to earn everything they got on offense (and they really just put together the one TD drive before things were out of hand), and that is with probably a subpar game from out back seven.  We had opportunities and hit probably two of the biggest plays Bama will give up all year, but we missed a ton of them through dropped balls and missed throws.

Other than getting everyone to sign a "Let's let Denard carry the ball before the game has been decided" petition, there isn't much to be upset about.  We won't win our 2nd national title in the last 60+ years, but I still think this is the best team in the B1G, especially at full strength.  And going against one of the top two teams in the country (its these guys and SC at this point AFAIC) isn't going to hurt down the road.

In the contract signed in October 2010 for this game, U-M agreed to be paid $4.7 million, recouping most of the cost of the home game.
When ESPN and the Cowboys Stadium organization pitched the game to Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon, it was a financial reach.

Brandon was athletic director in October of 2010.
