Losses to Nebraska or Iowa, Ohio State. Not that it matters anyway since any chance of reaching the BIG 10 title game is now gone.
November 2nd, 2013 at 8:29 PM ^
Ohio State will kill us. If we lose that game you could argue we are still undefeated at home because I expect to see lots and lots of red.

Beat Northwestern, lose to Nebraska, Ohio and Iowa
November 2nd, 2013 at 8:40 PM ^
I don't expect any more than that, but I very much hope to be wrong.

It's amazing how the wheels have fallen off at Northwestern. They are now 4-5. Unfortunately Northwestern now has a bye week and will probably be super motivated for their game against us because they need two more wins to reach a bowl game.

The weather in this game really hurt us, more than it did them based on their strengths and our weaknesses.
The D-line played pretty well. I thought the O-line wasn't too bad. As I recall it was 16-6 at the end of the 3rd and we had several shots to have an additional 11 points - would have been an even game at that point.
MSU won that game because of their D-backs, they made about 5 more plays than we did (how many balls did we drop?) and I think Gardner is late on his throws almost all the time.
We'll be fine - how many seniors are graduating that we'll really miss? I think it's only Lewan, Schofield, and Gallon. I'll take my chances with the kids coming in.
Besides, Nadruzzi is about to get poached (who stays at State?) so that problem will get solved shortly.

Did you just say the Oline...didnt...do...so...bad? OMG, free stand up at its finest here. Sorry dude you are delusional.

Did you actually just say the o-line and d-line didn't play that bad, and blame Gardner who took a literal beating in the same post, after a 29-6 loss? The d-line generated very little pressure all game, and the o-line was bad enough to set all the all-time worse rushing performance in school history.
Also you downplay losing three of your best players, as if it is no big deal, as the cherry on top.

Michigan finishes 6-6 (2-6 in B1G), goes to the Texas Bowl in Houston's Reliant Stadium on December 27 against the Big 12's sixth pick (Kansas State or West Virginia) and gets an upset win on Brendan Gibbons' last-second field goal. . . . Taylor Lewan is not named to any of the All-American First Teams, but he’s invited to the Senior Bowl and declines the invitation on advice of his agent. . . . Jeremy Gallon and Jibreel Black are invited to play in the East-West Shrine Game. . . . Michael Schofield and Brendan Gibbons are invited to play in the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl. . . . No other Michigan seniors are invited to play in any post-season all-star games. . . . In January, former All-State goalie Jareth Glanda is added to the hockey team as a reserve goalie. . . . At least one member of Michigan’s 2014 recruting class de-commits, and neither Da’Shawn Hand nor Malik McDowell signs with Michigan. . . . Dave Brandon issues a stern warning to Brady Hoke and quietly begins the precautionary search for a new head coach to replace Hoke, if Michigan does not play in a 2015 BCS bowl game or win at least ten games next season.
And that's the Extreme Pessimist report for Saturday, November 2, 2013. Good Night, Good Luck and Don't Forget To Turn Your Clocks Back To 1997.
(On days like today, I should be grateful that I'm a Red Sox fan.)

Take a breath. 9-3 is not that bad. We aren't losing many impact seniors, and getting several impact freshman as Hoke has a year to implement his system.
November 2nd, 2013 at 9:51 PM ^
November 3rd, 2013 at 8:44 AM ^
Of course!
November 3rd, 2013 at 8:43 AM ^
losing impact players. One is named Lewan. The second is named Schofield. Wow, we are headed for a real disaster on the OL if these young guys cannot be coached up to their potential.

Mostly because that would be more fun than 2-4 losses. Even intentionally over-optimistic, M fanboi me (no apologies) can't see us going 4-0.

Oregon or even OSU will shred them. They will be blown out. They just happened to play a very bad Michigan team that could barely beat Akron and UCONN. We also let a lousy PSU team beat us. So to say they have a stellar defense is a bit of a stretch!
November 2nd, 2013 at 10:13 PM ^
Everyone wants to blame Borges but it it's hoke that keeps letting the same shit occur. We get a huge pick but on 2nd and 15 we call play action despite having minus 30 yards rushing. WTF? They should have paid the 20m Harbaugh wanted then, now it will take 30m
For all those that claim this is overreacting, we almost lost to the worst two schools in college football in consecutive weeks. Now we have lost to msu 5/6 times. Michigan football as we once knew it is dead. Come home Jimmy, save us

I was hoping JH wanted to coach college ball and would have been our next coach. I expect him to win a superbowl with SF, get bored then coach the Lion's in 10 years. He will try to get the Lion's to the superbowl but this will break him. He will be fired as Lion's coach in 2027 and then Michigan will hire him. He will turn the team around from the Hoke and Miles disasters. Then we will be NC for 10 years from 2029 through 2039. JH will then become our AD and find a great coach to replace himself.
November 2nd, 2013 at 11:10 PM ^
Would have loved to win, but realistically had to know that we're not at the same level. So given that ... this game virtually ensured that my worst nightmare (losing to Ohio two weeks in a row) will not happen. I am grateful for that at least.
Also, I'd like to see State play Ohio. I think they could take them on a neutral field.
Not in a right state of mind to predict what happens with us the rest of the year.
November 2nd, 2013 at 11:17 PM ^

Win out except for Ohio State.
