Bc we have no coach or QB
September 21st, 2014 at 11:16 AM ^
Thanks for this. I was on the ledge but this totally brought me back.

What makes you think the team won't/hasn't given up? Sometimes it looks like the coaches have.
September 21st, 2014 at 1:33 PM ^
They haven't. Did you see the defens in the last 8 minutes of the game? They were still playing hard...about as hard as they started the game. The team was dejected, but they hadn't given up. And that was with knowing you were going to lose for 3 hours (basically), having to go back out and play with about 10 fans in the stadium!

I'm not sure what you saw yesterday but I saw the team give up and it's not their fault. They have no faith in the staff for whatever reason.

If you were there after the game resumed, I am surprised that is what you saw.

I was at the game until they kicked us out. I didn't come back though. I'm glad they played hard and continued to fight good for them.

The team hadn't given up...you only perceived it as such.
September 21st, 2014 at 11:19 AM ^
Shut up.
September 21st, 2014 at 11:22 AM ^
In the past 3 threads. A slow golf clap to you.
September 21st, 2014 at 11:26 AM ^
The fact that you even had to include the disclaimer of "at least 8 games left" returned me to my violent rage. We're worried about being bowl eligible. This is Michigan. :(
September 21st, 2014 at 11:35 AM ^
You forgot that part.
September 21st, 2014 at 11:29 AM ^
I thought it was over after ND?
September 21st, 2014 at 11:32 AM ^
It was over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.
September 21st, 2014 at 11:35 AM ^
LOLOLOLOL!

Stop gifting the goddamn football 4x a football game and surprisingly good things begin to happen.
But because both qbs are interception machine, expect some heart attack moments this year or a lot more blowout losses.

Just found out that Mike DeBord is on UM's payroll. Move Nuss to his position and bring him over.
Problem solved. Next?
September 21st, 2014 at 11:33 AM ^
Jim Bollman if you hate Michigan football that much.
September 21st, 2014 at 11:36 AM ^
Given the current situation, he will be great.
At Michigan, he served as offensive line coach from 1992-1996. In 1997, he was promoted to offensive coordinator. During DeBord's first year as offensive coordinator in 1997, Michigan won their first national championship since 1948. As the offensive coordinator at Michigan, DeBord posted a 52–11 record.
I'll take that.
September 21st, 2014 at 11:47 AM ^
Am I the only person who remembers the Mike DeBord era at Central? He makes Dan Enos seem like Vince Lombardi.
September 21st, 2014 at 12:13 PM ^
He was there from 2000-2003 and won maybe a dozen games in that time, as I recall. I think the Chips never finished higher than 5th in the MAC West in those seasons too, with 4 games being the ceiling on that performance. I'm OK with DeBord administrating Michigan's Olympic teams like he does right now.
September 21st, 2014 at 11:37 AM ^
Because our Head Coach is totally incompetent, our team is playing terribly, and there's no end to our mediocrity in sight?
September 21st, 2014 at 12:29 PM ^
I came here to tell the OP to shut up. I'll just up vote this instead.
September 21st, 2014 at 11:54 AM ^
Because the team is held back by terrible coaching and poor leadership. There's no one at QB who can play competently(and I don't like saying this as DG is apparently all that is right with college football). It's too hard to put myself through this anymore so I won't, giving up is less painful and I'm tired of this crap.

The past seven years, with one exception, have trained us to have our souls crushed. There is a silver lining: we aren't the ones on the team playing the game, so it doesn't really matter how we feel. It matters how they feel.
The defense is doing a good job, for the most part. But you can't win games without points. At some point the offense may start to click in what is admittedly a new system.
But you have to admit that ND and Utah were very disappointing games that Michigan fans were not going to be enthusiastic about, and that so far we have seen very little reason to think that we will be more successful in the Big Ten.
