Sugar Bowl Open Thread - 2nd Half
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:11 PM ^
The way I see it, after the past few years this team was a kid on christmas morning the first half. Look for M to settle in and take control in the second half.
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:12 PM ^
Need the ball, and need to control game more. Possession was crazy in that half, especially first quarter
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:13 PM ^
It was pretty ugly, but Michigan is winning, and wasn't outplayed as badly as it appears. Michigan has only been outgained 185 to 145.
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:16 PM ^
Seems VT's prone to making big mistakes at inopportune times.
Today's Michigan D is horrible at third and long, but VT keeps shooting itself in the foot as well. At arguably worse times, at that. If we're gnashing our teeth over a 13-yard pass on 3rd and 13, imagine what VT fans felt like when VT got the roughing the kicker penalty. That led to a TD!
It's kind of aggravating; there's too much talent on the field for this to be a "who wants to lose more" competition.

I'd love to have a win no matter how we get it. But if we are looking for national respect, we won't get it if we win the game and play the second half like we did the first. The pundits will just say we did not belong in a game of that caliber.
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:17 PM ^
Even though we are winning, I want a much better showing next half.
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:17 PM ^
That Red Tails movie looks good, but I think Bryan Cranston should have to be his Breaking Bad character in every movie he's in
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:18 PM ^
More points in the first half; tonight or for LSU and Alabama?
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:21 PM ^
Ha, yes it was pretty obvious the timing was off and Dileo adlibbed.
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:22 PM ^
I called ESPN and told them, but I got Dana Jacobson and she was smashed going on and on about touchdown jesus and profanities and then I got transferred to Craig James, but he got busy and had to kill a hooker or something and then they transferred me to Spielman and I hung up on that bastard before he said a word.
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:19 PM ^
Let's go and win this bitch.
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:20 PM ^
Wow, Countess just got his ass chewed out
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:22 PM ^
He didn't get his ass chewed, they yelled at him to get off his block. That is just coaching, not ass chewing.
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:22 PM ^
Hopefully that won't come back to hurt UM.
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:23 PM ^
I'm sure burning a t.o. a minute into the second half will be awesome at the end if the game...
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:25 PM ^
NOW they call an early TO. . .
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:25 PM ^
That gunner 28 got down the field freakishly fast
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:26 PM ^
Evil Denard sighting.
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:26 PM ^

Al Borges can't pre-snap read every play. Need to make better decisions.
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:26 PM ^
not how you want to start on O, review it
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:27 PM ^
Denargh!!!!
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:27 PM ^
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:27 PM ^
but that was crap
O floundering
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:28 PM ^
Not a good read there. The DB was clearly in his line of sight and had position. Wasn't a pick though.
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:28 PM ^
Can we finally catch a break on instant replay?
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:29 PM ^
I would like more information about all the great programming options ESPN has to offer. Please show more promotional material to me during the breaks.
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:30 PM ^
Only if you are a real sports fan and get Directv
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:30 PM ^
Bud Foster watched the MSU game.
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:30 PM ^
Wow, couldn't have seen a blitz coming there could we?
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:30 PM ^
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:30 PM ^
Foster has been eating his lunch.
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:31 PM ^
Great. Short field on D.
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:31 PM ^
use your damn feet Denard!
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:31 PM ^
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:31 PM ^
Frank Clark!
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:31 PM ^
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:31 PM ^
Nice pick by Clark!
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:32 PM ^
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:32 PM ^
Ridiculous pick!
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:32 PM ^
frank clark beast!
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:32 PM ^
Mmm. Bad reads taste delicious.

Chuck vs. MSU has to be #1, right?
