A sobering realization
I'm sharing this with you all because I know that you like to be kicked when you're down as much as I do. We're all in this together. Or something.
I was talking with my cousin who goes to Eastern yesterday, and he pointed out that the Eagles scored more points against tUoOS than we did. Sure, they also gave up twenty more points when it was all said and done, but they scored 20 points. That's 13 more than we did. That's only 4 fewer than our total against tUoOS in the past three years. It's fucking embarrassing.
EDIT: The Michigan fanbase seems to be too antagonized to talk about tUoOS at the moment. Read on only if you would like to see many people get really angry that I noticed something.

I'm willing to bet we gained more yards though.

*****THIS IS AN IMPORTANT POST TO READ BECAUSE IT'S 'THE' TRUTH*****
#1) Michigan is NOT Jim Harbaugh's 'dream job.' He wants an NFL job, because him and his brother are so competitive. SD, SF, Oak and Car (and maybe even Dal and Min) are all going to be fighting over him this off-season.
#2) Dave Brandon is going to be doing absolutely everything he can to convince him to come to Michigan over the next month.
#3) In all likelihood, Rich Rod will be brought back (signing a two year extension after the bowl game), and Greg Robinson will be replaced (along with the 3-3-5). Ron English is supposedly an early DC candidate.

UMASS scored 37 points against us, the exact same amount as OSU did!!!
A D-2 team scored as many against a common opponent as OSU... what an embarrassment.

"/Areyoufuckingkiddingmewiththisfuckingshit?"
That was awesome. These posts are getting insane!
By the way, did you know that we scored less points against 1AA Umass than Wisco scored against Indiana or Northwestern, both of which are 1A B10 schools. Hell, Wisco put up 70 against their 1AA opponant. UNACCEPTABLE.
November 30th, 2010 at 10:53 AM ^
So are you saying that you are not happy with the performance against OSU?
Do you also have an opinion on how this would impact RR's job security? Because if you do, I would love to hear it. I am sure that it is as novel and informative as your views on the OSU game.
November 30th, 2010 at 10:56 AM ^
but I think he should start a new thread about it, instead of giving it here.
November 30th, 2010 at 10:58 AM ^
No, actually, I have nothing to say about my opinion on our coach's job security here. I know better.
You're using the word novel wrong, though, unless someone else has posted that Eastern's offense somehow faired better against OSU's than ours did. If you don't want to read sadly interesting statistics about Michigan football, why are you on MGoBlog?
November 30th, 2010 at 11:25 AM ^
Sorry, but how should "novel" be used? Or isn't your sarcasm meter workng today?
November 30th, 2010 at 11:32 AM ^
My sarcasm meter is in fine working order, hence my above reply. He's trying to say that my statement that Eastern scored more than we did isn't novel, which is incorrect, because no one else had mentioned it. It's obvious that the mob mentality here doesn't like that I started a thread about it, but that must be for different reasons than me being repetitive.
November 30th, 2010 at 11:40 AM ^
if I have this right. You are defending your views on the OSU game as novel and therefore a reply accusing you of being "novel" in a sarcastic manner is incorrect because your views actually are novel.
Is this right?
November 30th, 2010 at 11:44 AM ^
Well done. Bascially, I just wanted to criticize the guy's post for going off the deep end and bringing the coaching situation into it while blaming that on me.
November 30th, 2010 at 11:50 AM ^
so let me be the first to posbang your original post.
November 30th, 2010 at 10:54 AM ^
We scored more points, and played a much closer game, against an undefeated Utah squad than did Alabama in the Sugar Bowl.
Transitive property of football FAIL. Or sample size FAIL. I can't quite decide.
November 30th, 2010 at 10:55 AM ^
Boom, denarded.
November 30th, 2010 at 11:58 AM ^
My mom went to Eastern and I went to Michigan. She was a stay-at-home mom and I am a now a working dad. Her career path is much better than mine. Thus, Eastern is a better school. Right?
November 30th, 2010 at 10:55 AM ^
1. Look at when they scored
2. Was OSUs first team players still on the field?
3. Sweatervest puts on the brakes in the second half against teams like EMU
November 30th, 2010 at 10:59 AM ^
I did. Eastern scored two touchdown in the second quarter, well before the backups had been brought in.
November 30th, 2010 at 11:06 AM ^
It's still apples to oranges. They lost 73-20. OSU had 24 points in the 1st qtr, 14 in the 2nd and 3rd plus another 21 in the 4th. You don't take into consideration that OSU isn't going to play EMU as hard as they are going to play us? It's the biggest rivalry in sports.
November 30th, 2010 at 11:47 AM ^
because Tressel put the brakes on against Michigan in the 2nd half too!! This season sucked, last season sucked, 2008 sucked, and next year will suck too, unless we get Harbaugh.
November 30th, 2010 at 10:55 AM ^
TUOOSU has an EMU clock that we don't know about? Tressel loves to pound him some MAC beef.
November 30th, 2010 at 10:58 AM ^
Tressel loves to pound him some MAC beef.
Yep. Just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
November 30th, 2010 at 11:04 AM ^
Thank you for explaining that 20 is 13 more than 7. Without that explanation, your post would have been too complex.
November 30th, 2010 at 11:19 AM ^
Psh, it still is to complex.
Duh.
November 30th, 2010 at 11:40 AM ^
13? 7? What are these things called numbers?!
November 30th, 2010 at 11:16 AM ^
Your EDIT note comes across as very...what's the word arrogant?
I don't know what point you are trying to get across. Are you trying to say that Michigan is worse then Eastern Michigan?
November 30th, 2010 at 11:28 AM ^
No, I'm just sharing the embarrassing realization I had. My EDIT note comes from the irritation I feel at the MGoCommunity's cannibalistic attitude nowadays.
November 30th, 2010 at 12:36 PM ^
Well what do you expect? Warm fuzzies to be spread throughout the MGoCommunity? This is a very stressful time. The readers keep seeing people post mindless thoughts about who should be the coach and if Jim Harbaugh is a good guy and if Rich Rodriguez deserves another year, and if Dave Brandon will make the right decision. Someone even went back into the time machine and asked if Brady Hoke was a real possibility if Michigan is going coach searching. We are all irritated to the complete maximum.
I know, i know..we don't HAVE to read the posts but you guys don't HAVE to post inane material as well. It works both ways.
November 30th, 2010 at 11:16 AM ^
That unless Brandon reacts and reacts soon, we will have at least 30 days more of these types of posts. Please Brandon, make a decision soon!!
November 30th, 2010 at 11:29 AM ^
Did you read my post? I didn't mention our coach or Stanford's.
November 30th, 2010 at 11:52 AM ^
I think Brian does a great job on the blog.
It is unfortunate that his compensation is related to the site traffic, as this post is below mlive status.
November 30th, 2010 at 12:51 PM ^
Let's not say things we can't take back.
November 30th, 2010 at 1:18 PM ^
EMBARRASSING.
UNACCEPTABLE.
STANDARDS.
MICHIGAN.
HORRIFYING.
HUMILIATING.
DERP.
