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.

Blocking and tackling.
We don't tackle well, but we block well
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:20 PM ^
So in short, this is a back-handed fire RR (SOUTHERN ACCENT!!), Harbaugh is awesome (MICHIGAN MAN!!) thread?
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:42 PM ^
This topic is about as stale as you can get.
November 22nd, 2010 at 4:06 PM ^
It's staler than that.
November 22nd, 2010 at 4:07 PM ^
This thread has made my day fun again. Work is a total bore. No (major) crimes being committed.
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:21 PM ^
and field position due to our poor defense.
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:23 PM ^
I don't understand why people talk about our terrible and special teams like they're something entirely beyond our control, like the weather. The coaching staff is kind of supposed to do something about them.
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:53 PM ^
He wasn't saying they're beyond the coaches' control. He was saying that they're the reason we don't score as many points as the Stanford offense even though we gain more yards.
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:24 PM ^
from Old School Wolverine to Crusty Old Douchebag. Hope you like it.
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:25 PM ^

OH SNAP OH SNAP OH SNAP OH SNAP.
NEGGED
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:38 PM ^
The only joy I get out of these threads is pressing that neg arrow.
November 22nd, 2010 at 4:05 PM ^
Need to git me wunna dem.
November 22nd, 2010 at 4:41 PM ^
I only regret that I don't have more points to neg this kind of crap.
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:55 PM ^

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.
November 22nd, 2010 at 4:01 PM ^
You can totally opt out of being in a generation. I, for example, have already chosen not to take part in the paying-for-aging-Baby-Boomers generation. Just like that, I'm not a part of it anymore.
November 22nd, 2010 at 4:33 PM ^
Nice....was that on Slickdeals.net?
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:31 PM ^
As much as I would love to see MICH win, I love this team no matter what. If they go out and lose 45 consecutive games, I'm gonna love them as much as I did during the '97 season.
You're going on list of dudes who need to be beaten with a bag of diseased cocks.
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:41 PM ^
we all have our fetishes and apparently this is my newest one.
And lets be honest, beating some of these dudes with a bag of diseased cocks would be great.
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:46 PM ^
Could I borrow that bag at some point in the future, I think I'm gonna need it to deal with some of the posters.
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:49 PM ^
Dude I got your back. And Fuck I'll help you beat em .

The Team. The Team. The Team.
You seem to have forgotten your own history OldSchool.
November 22nd, 2010 at 4:33 PM ^
as long as we change yours to the OnlyLosingMGeneration
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:27 PM ^
I don't think Bo would appreciate you starting a discussion like this during Ohio State week
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:29 PM ^
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.
November 22nd, 2010 at 4:29 PM ^
BTW, good stuff.
But the question remains, have you kissed a girl? Don't be shy.
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:31 PM ^
Awesome and can you explain how big bad harbaugh's power offense couldn't score shit on an average Oregon defense in the 2nd half after putting up 30+ in the first half?
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:34 PM ^
Youre referring to losing to the only undefeated team in the land? Now that is funny.
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:36 PM ^
An undefeated team that runs Richrod's fancy newfangled spread thingy. But hey, Oregon doesn't score points.
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:39 PM ^
and Kellen Moore and the Horned Frog.
November 22nd, 2010 at 4:50 PM ^
is 15th in total defense and 11th in scoring defense. I'd say statistically that's much better than average.
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:32 PM ^
Gents, posters like this are why I started the neg party thread last week. We practiced and hopefully lowered our negging inhibitions. Now this crusty old turd wants to stir up negativity during OSU week. God speed with the negging gentlemen.
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:34 PM ^
I've handed out more negs in the past 48 hours than I did in my previous MGoPosting career. It's been an ugly couple of days.
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:38 PM ^
"stir up negativity" ? rather, to give some clarity.
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:43 PM ^
Right, focusing on STANFORD during Ohio St. week. Real fucking clear.
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:41 PM ^
hey chunkums....
have you ever kissed a girl yet ??
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:42 PM ^
Hey Old School Wolverine, can you still get erections?
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:50 PM ^
MGoRoasted!!!
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:52 PM ^
PS, I've been kissing women for a while now. What is someone your age doing going after girls? That shit's illegal.
November 22nd, 2010 at 4:31 PM ^
Please chunkums, less entertaining insults of the crusty old turd. According to my antitrust professor, this subject isn't THAT FUNNY MR. [MY NAME].
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:43 PM ^
you really got him there
/s
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:50 PM ^
For real? This is beneath even the lowest of college blog forums. Please reserve this crap for some place like YouTube.
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:51 PM ^
Maturity, you don't have it.
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:58 PM ^
Homophobe.
November 22nd, 2010 at 4:13 PM ^
With a reply like that there's no way you're older than 15, or not just a troll entirely.
<br>
<br>To think we have something in common (Michigan fandom) irks me.
November 22nd, 2010 at 4:19 PM ^
Little known fact, chunkums is Katy Perry.
