Stale no more

Given that Jim Harbaugh is the closest thing to a modern Bo, and perhaps closest in kind to the old school Michigan offense that I and many faithful yearn the return to,  take note that Stanford is now averaging 40.0 pts/game, which is now MORE than our new era spread, of 36.6 pts/game.    

Perhaps the numbers are skewed because Stanford's defense has been far superior and gives more time for the offense on the field.  Or, that our defense has been so bad that opponents have scored so quickly and given our spread offense extra time and opportunities. Or vice versa, I do not know.

Either way, somebody please chime in here and try to give the implications of both defenses and how it affects the numbers above.

Aren't all living Michigan Wolverine football fans part of the "OnlyLosingMGeneration"?

Since when does the older generation get to talk down to a younger generation that "has to deal with losing".   I am 35 and am dealing with losing... it sucks.   Probably sucks about the same as someone who is 20, or 70.

Your lack of unity and disrespect for the brotherhood of "all" Michigan fans is sad.

Stanford kicker Nate Whitaker has made 18 field goals this year. That's 54 points divided by 11 games, or 4.9 points per game on field goals. We have made four field goals -- that's 12 points divided by 11 games = 1.09 points per game.

Stanford is getting 3.81 points per game more than us on field goals alone, so even if you completely remove defense from the equation (which I think would mostly be a benefit via improved field position), that more than accounts for the scoring differential.

Which was the factual post that got negged? 

-Calling someone OnlyLosingMGeneration? (the 1950s and 60s say hi, Mr. "Old School")

-Implying that Oregon is #1 because of their defense (and not their *GASP* newfangled spread offense)?

-Failing to understand the pointlessness of directly comparing these two stats without regard to context, team experience, conference, etc etc.

 

You are obviously someone who never wanted RR in the first place, that's fine but don't blame us for giving him a chance.  Last time I checked, the "old school" mentality was to give a coach 4 years to get all his own players...
