Good call

Borges with a big FU
To Denard right there. Not even on the field for the last play. Fuck Borges.
January 1st, 2013 at 5:47 PM

Wrong
You need WRs on the last play. Denard can't run through the entire D.

How the FUCK can Clowney be
How the FUCK can Clowney be the player of the game?!?! He got the best of Lewan on ONE play and was handled the rest of the game! To be the best defensive player in the country, he made two plays.
January 1st, 2013 at 5:47 PM

My thoughts exactyl
I guess 2 td receptions and a punt return for a TD doesn't mean shit. Media bjs all around there

Maybe clowneys dick taste
Maybe clowneys dick taste good cause there's a whole bunch of fuckers sucking it! Lewan kicked his ass all game!! He should get player of the game before this ass clown!! Overall better team lost on a bad call on the blitz but I'm proud of team 133 thanks to all of you!

To be fair, Gholston has been
To be fair, Gholston has been touted as an AA after tackling three guys a game. Standards are different with guys surrounded by hype.
That said, Clowney is very good. He just wasn't dominant today.

GERG Mattison
with the dumbass call of the year, why blitz when you can force them to make a 45 yard FG?
January 1st, 2013 at 5:47 PM
#7713
Because a sack would
Because a sack would effectively end the game or create a Hail Mary scenario. That and not blitzing doesn't guarantee they don't get enough yards for the game winning FG. The blitz sack was close on the previous two plays. It was just a hell of a throw in the nick of time.
January 1st, 2013 at 5:49 PM
#7714
I
Would rather go down being aggressive than playing a soft ass zone and getting picked apart. Plus they had the backup QB in there and the secondary blew the coverage.
January 1st, 2013 at 5:49 PM
#7715
Wrong
It wasn't an all out blitz. Only one came and almost had him.
January 1st, 2013 at 5:50 PM

Remember the last rosé bowl against Texas
Everyone was pissed that we played the prevent in the exact same situation and let them get a field goal
January 1st, 2013 at 5:58 PM
#7717
Yeah but their kicker was
Yeah but their kicker was clutch. This one would have been a head case if the game came down to his foot. He shanked one, had one blocked, and if (IF) we held, he would have had to kick from a considerable distance.
January 1st, 2013 at 5:45 PM
#7718
Great effort guys. That was a
Great effort guys. That was a damn good team and they should have won. I hate to say it, but the secondary blew this game time and time again. Seeing Kovacs stand there and let Ellington run right by him for the clinching TD really hurt. Really tough game for Kovacs.

Shane Morris may not be
Shane Morris may not be redshirting. DG looked rough today. Daydreaming at times out there. Oh well. C+ season.

#7720
I'll give you 100 to 1 odds
I'll give you 100 to 1 odds that this does not happen. There is no way that Morris beats out DG next year for the QB job.
January 1st, 2013 at 6:08 PM
#7721
You can't be serious...
Gardner was a little off today, but over all the games he's started this seems to be the exception, not the rule. Shane will be redshirted.
January 1st, 2013 at 7:04 PM
#7722
I think Shane's redshirt
I think Shane's redshirt depends on the progression of Russell Bellomy
January 1st, 2013 at 6:21 PM
#7723
Time will tell
If we dont hire an actual QB coach who only does one thing, and DG's accuracy is still 50/50, shane could win the job. All comes down to footwork and who can make the hard throws. Devin did not do that today.

As upset as I am right now, some perspective - 5 losses to 4* top 10 teams. Breaks, aside from a few, just did not go M's way. I would say the future looks pretty bright though.

The overall improvement in talent and fundamentals is exciting with this coaching staff.

Tough loss. Hasn't sunk in yet. They all played hard. Can't believe how many big plays we gave up has to have matched our season total.
Just wow unbelieveable.
I wish everybody on the team and all of us fans the best.
Thank you to the seniors and the whole team you played hard.
For those on the team remember this feeling and make it so that you never feel it again next season.

Shame on every single one of you
Kovacs has been one of the best players for Michigan these last few years. One bad play does not negate all he has done. Show some god damned class.
That blitz...if it had gotten there a half second earlier...or if Black can finish his sack....if if if. They were that close, but sometimes it just is not your day.
I for one am proud of the entire team and coaches. What a great effort against one of the best SEC teams this year. Thank you seniors, you will be missed.
January 1st, 2013 at 6:04 PM
#7735
Totally agree
With you here. Great game overall. We should have won, but we didn't. Kovacs was one if the guys that helped reshape our defense. And he's played his heart out every game for THE TEAM!!! And he should go down as an all time fan favorite player.
January 1st, 2013 at 6:16 PM
#7736
Reshape?
He is the epitome of the RR regime. I'll give him credit for being a leader, but he lacked the physical tools.

I will miss Denard
and the exciting plays. We will be moving into a new era of Michigan football with a pro style QB and offense and a defense that is sound, physical, and aggressive. Please beat Ohio next year.
January 1st, 2013 at 5:56 PM
#7739
A good game overall by both
A good game overall by both teams. Wish our defense is stronger but it's not ours to win today. I'm nevertheless excited about next year!

Thomas Gordon....
Please please tell me he will never play again. A sub 6 foot free safety who is SLOW?!?!?!? What the hell were you thinking in recruiting this guy RR??
January 1st, 2013 at 7:22 PM
#7741
Calm down and stay away from
Calm down and stay away from the Internet for awhile Gordon is a heady player who's not a great deep safety. We've known this for years, it not is today but that is what Wilson, Clark, and Thomas are for. Also who knows maybe LM3 just saw a chance for Hugh quality immediate playing time.

The hardest part of watching
The hardest part of watching the game was listening to the announcers. It was all about South Carolina. Clowney got shut down today other than two plays and the announcers continued to praise him like he was dominating the game. Then they give him the player of the game with 4 tackles?! Lewan won the matchup in my opinion
January 1st, 2013 at 6:08 PM
#7744
When Michigan got the first
When Michigan got the first down on the 4th and 1 it was apparent that they were homers when in the next play they exclaim they got at the position they should have got it after the TO. So much for unbias play calling.

As much as a love Michigan football...
...I f'in hate Michigan football. I'd be a much happier person if it wasn't for the stressfull bullshit like what I just wasted the past few hours watching. For once, Borges (who I still despise) doesn't call a game like he's up in the booth watching cooking shows the entire time, and in return the defense decides to take a shit in the middle of the field and let's Ace and the rest of the f'in Cocks catch them with their pants around their ankles. I can't take this shit anymore.
Now on to Michigan basketball where the players are all competent (except for McLimans) and all the coaches consistently call a good game.

Honestly don't know who you the hell you are and why you act as if you've never seen an over emotionally attached U of M fan over exaggerate their frustrations in an attempt to try to come to terms with a loss/sub-par season.
I've clearly been around a lot longer than you and have contributed more to the forums than you have and someone likes me because I've managed to maintain a +2 karma, so stop trying to fight my temporary douchebaggery with yours. Thanks.

Tough when your only playmakers play QB
Michigan fought hard and could/should have had this game if they could have wrapped up the QB once on that last drive or not given up so many huge plays. Bottom line...This team doesn't have stud playmakers. I am hoping there are some on the way. Before RR, we always used to have some on offense and defense. The only ones we have are Denard and Devin. If is frustrating to lose the way we did today. With one or two big-time playmakers, this could be a much different football team.

DL are just a bunch of guys on UM
crazyy how often UM had to blitz this game to get anything. When the DL did appear to make a play they couldn't get the sack. Ryan, Clark, and Black all failed to sack the QB on plays that could have won the game.
Got to bring him down.
Gardner, also not too sharp most the game. Played good enough to win, but could have controlled the game if he makes better throws. Gallon got open ALL game long.
Just like against Bama and OSU. Gallon is the only WR who can make plays and get open vs. good teams. Prob should have had 200yds if Gardner is on point.
Overall, UM coaches called as good a game as [ossible. UM just needs more playmakers and a little more consistency from Gardner. He was just good enough to win though. D couldn't close the deal

Pretty gutted.
Missed most of the first three quarters attending my best friend's granddaughter's 2nd birthday (this is what happens to you when you grow up, kids). From what I saw it was a helluva game where Michigan just got out big-played. Carolina had what, one sustained drive (and that one at the end of the game)?
Clowney's hit on Vincent Smith won him the Player of the Game...that was one of the most amazing hits I've ever seen watching college ball...I'm glad Vincent wasn't hurt, and I can't really blame him for losing the ball. From a karmic point of view, come on...the 'Cocks should've had the ball one play earlier anyway.
Watching their QB's just shrug off Michigan tacklers was pretty discouraging. Can't believe the combination of strength and balance those guys have (that's what I'm telling myself rather than choosing to believe that Michigan tackling on defense still reflects echoes of the RichRod era).
Very sorry that the Florida guys on the team couldn't come back home for a win. Especially Denard.
Freaking UNIFORMZ were awful. Couldn't read the numbers on the jerseys in the sunshine.
This should have been Hoke's first year result. His ACTUAL first year was a remarkable (but dearly needed and appreciated) overachievement...I await Team 134 with a mixture of anxiety and uncertainty. Maybe Charles Woodson will retire from the NFL and come back to complete his degree and use his final year of eligibility on the field...secondary help is badly needed.
Just watched the PAC 12 smart kids run all over the People's Republic of Madison on their first possession. Looks like another loooooooooooooooong day for the B1G.

Listen
You win some you lose some. It's the attitude and effort that you come back with after a loss or poor play that makes you loved by your teammates and by fans. So, Kovacs couldn't run the guy on that TD pass (maybe even a few others). He showed great effort, he was a great leader, and if he wasn't in there it would have been way worse. We were in the game and it could have gone either way. A couple of those near sacks could have easily won it. The pressure on that last play a second earlier could have won it. Sometimes you lose.
I don't think this loss hurts us that much considering we played pretty well. It tells us that we can play with a good SEC team. We're not there yet, but we're not that far away either. Countess comes back healthy, Devin gets some more experience, the o-line puts on some beef. Most of our proglems/challenges have been addressed and they simply need time to take effect. I believe this loss could be a beneficial experience for us to show that we still need more work and effort to get back, but we're getting close. So, let's not be so negative towards guys who did things the right way, played hard, had a good attitude, and did their best. Lets send off those seniors with a thank you. Dealing with a loss is a part of competition.
