Reactions to the win

My initial reaction was WOOO!  After having about an hour and a half to think it over, my current reaction is EEEE!

Seriously though, this is the biggest win of the RR era and if nothing else, gets our defense another week and a half of practice before the bowl game and another game of experience.

Tate was pretty sweet today. When in doubt throw the damn ball to Hemingway, Junior makes things happen.

I'm glad to see some of the young guys on D step up today.  Cam Gordon closer to the line of scrimmage is a good adjustment.  Ezeh closer to the bench is even better.  Avery and Vinopal made nice stops.  Overall, I was happier with the defensive effort today than any other game this year.  Surprisingly, the offense drives me nuts sometimes.  I think its because I expect that we have to score on almost every possession that when they screw up I think the sky is falling.  The missed FG on 4th and 3 almost had me break a very expensive TV.  My poor kids need earmuffs when I watch games.  I'm losing it.  But so glad we won.  This roller coaster is crazy.  GO BLUE !!

I have been so frustrated with the division in the fan base and how we continue to snipe at eachother for which camp we are in regarding Coach.  I now feel that I have been week and timid. I will stand up scream for our coach to stay. Has anyone else taken note of how great these kids are are? I mean such fantastic representatives of the school? If I hear another gripe of "family values, where there is smoke there is fire, doesnt understand, character, blah, blah, blah", I will defend Coach tooth and nail...Just so crazy proud of em all!!

If there's any chance whatsoever that a different defensive coordinator can get Michigan's defense up to "meh", then thinking about firing Rich Rod is a giant mistake.  Michigan put up 370 on MSU, 530 on Iowa, and over 600 in regulation against Illinois, none of which has a remotely bad defense.  And that's with a fairly talented, but not insanely talented, cast of characters, basically none of whom are seniors, and many of whom aren't even upperclassmen.  If Chip Kelly didn't exist, I'd say it was the best conceived offensive system I've ever seen.  But it's at worst second, and it's terrifying to watch, and to watch how little it skips a beat when a guy as talented as Denard Robinson goes down. 

I was just looking at the stats for the game....

Did anybody here realize D-Rob was 10-20 for 305 yards and 3 touchdowns to two INTS? DRob averaged 30.5 yards per completion! Thats fucking insane!

I love wins.

Was initially, like: WOOOOOOOO!!!!

Then, I was totally like: Is my heart gonna asplode?

But then it didn't, so then I was, like, totally, like: OMFG WOOOOOOOO!!!!11!!111

Any questions? Good! Now if you'll excuse me, there's a Sam Adams Winter Collection 12 pack with my name on it! Go Blue! Get Drunk!

Bad as our kicking game is, we still hit a higher percentage of our 3 point attempts than the basketball team

Vincent Smith was pretty sweet today

Agonizing at times . . .  but a win.  What a game.  Throw in the great halftime show and it was probably the most entertaining afternoon at the Big House ever. 

euphoria, followed by a little disbelief, then several minutes of a perma grin.  Followed by several minutes in the car shaking my head in disbelief.  Now I am just tired.  So very, very tired.
