Official Vent Thread

How in the world does Bellomy even got a full ride scholarship to Michigan? Who scouted this kid? He a faster running version of Nick Sheridan. He was

God awful.



Without Denard there are NO Playmakers on this offense. Denard IS the offense. What will next year look like?



This oline is the opposite of what Hoke preaches. No toughness or physicality. They can't manhandle anyone. It's shocking how bad the running game looks. Take away Denard and there is NO

Running game. No one took a leadership role and stepped up and made a damn play.



But back to my main point, how the hell did Bellomy end up at the winningest college program of all time?

Red Stag on the rocks and Busch Light...lots of this back and forth.  This is the only rational way I can vent right now. Otherwise, my venting may be as ineffective as our entire offensive existence.

THIS POST HAS BEEN REDACTED SO I DON'T END UP ON TWIS.

I honestly think the biggest disappointment this year is the O line.  Run blocking has been atrocious, and they are an experienced group. 

I dont blame the players, especially Bellamy, I blame Hoke and Borges all the way on this one, they failed to give these guys the motivation that this game was not lost. There was zero sense of urgency to win this game, 5 minutes to go we're making plays finally and the players are walking back to the line of scrimmage? I dont think so you play 2-minute drill football and you play to frickin win! Not taking timeouts to try and get our offense the ball? This was a pathetic coaching performance and one of the most disappointing Michigan losses Ive watched, this is more painful than the RR era because expectations are higher. The coaches should have been giving Gardner reps at qb all season, and they need to get Fitz out of their ass and give the ball to Thomas Rawls. Ridiculous, lose the stubbornous (coaches) and play to win.  I hate this

"You play to win"

but once the 2nd half started and NO Denard ..... it was over and we all should have known it. Defense played well considering they also knew that the offense wasn;t going to score a bunch of points.   Oh yeah ... the refs absolutely SUCKED, except for the fact that Nebraska's secondary could allplay for sparty ... fucking head hunters !!!!

OK .. vent over ..... go blue ......

I hope we at least got orange slices and Capri Suns during the second half... 

Michigan 5-3, Ohio State and Notre Dame undefeated, Tigers down 3-0 in the series, learning that Michigan could seriously be screwed without Denard next season... All I can say is: Is it basketball season yet?

Do not recall that in RR years, and if not, we might be nearly 50 years since that happened. Any historical statisticians or talented Googlers out there?

Honestly, at what point does hoke think about a new oc?

I don't know what im more angry about:

Scenario #1  Early on with Bellomy in game, receivers could not catch the fucking ball to maintain any semblance of momentum.  I mean help the fucking quarterback out!!!!!!!

Scenario #2  Notre Dame housing Oklahoma and how we totally should have beaten them...  commence the Notre Dame is #1 or #2 talk.  God they are so over-rated!!!!  Their quality wins are us?  (clearly overrated) and now Oklahoma (also ALWAYS overrated).  Bob Stoops is great at losing every big game he coaches in....

I honestly think I'm more mad about Notre Dame now that I spell it out but I can't really tell... I'm just so fucking mad

We now have field goal kicking.  AND we should have field goal kicking for some period of time.  I am trying to find some silver lining on this somber as hell evening.

So I'm so pissed I can hardly speak.   That was the most incredibly lame offensive show I think I've ever seen from a Michigan team.  Even before Denard went out.  Its been the same thing over and over against decent competition for the past two years, last week against MSU was no different.  If I was the Nebraska defensive coordinator I could have done nearly as good of a job today, and last week as well.  SERIOUSLY, keeping Bellomy in for the entire second half without trying something with Gardiner, thinking we would be able to run the ball with NO THREAT of a passing game, COULD IT REALLY HAVE BEEN ANY WORSE.  I give big kudo's to what the defense has been able to do with a lot of underclassmen and few juniors and seniors (KUDO's to Greg and the defensive players), but Borges just plain SUCKS.  I'm sorry, but we have gone from Rich-Rod who could run an offense but not have a defense, to Hoke, who has re-established a defense but has Al "I personally suck eggs and can't be creative" offense, so which is worse.  My suggestion to the team: Hoke you need to get someone who can taylor your offense to your personnel and has some creativity and get rid of the IDIOT who is Al Borges!!  If Bellomy is really our second best option at quarterback, you REALLY, REALLY are an overpaid idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!  I would have thought that you would have a better backup plan for when (NOT IF) Denard was injured.  Obviously I have given you (Borges) a whole lot more credit than is due, and the Michigan Athletic Department is paying you a significant amount more than you are worth!!!!!

with difficulty set to freshman and human ai at 100 and cpu ai at 0?

i think yes.

I think I am very scared of 2013, very very scared.  

this loss sucks but the thing that bothers me the most is the wr's. i probably shoud have known not to expect much from them but damn they have been bad. other than gallon i dont see it being any better next year. hope im wrong!

It's truly inexplicable to me how we have one of the fastest, most dangerous running QB's in the nation, if not ever, and we constantly bottle him up with horrible play calling. Just totally uninspired crap. Sure Denard can make something out of nothing against mediocre teams but against any defense with a pulse our offense has been pretty much shit.
