Tate, T. Talbott, Tackling, and Touchdowns
To summarize the weekend of controversial diaries-Denard didn’t play so hot, why not play Tate (or Devin) like #16 did last year? Well you don’t bench the Heisman man (though we don’t endorse or even acknowledge his candidacy anymore-it makes us feel better), because our 2nd or 3rd stringers are there for a reason. Cullen Christian proved this Saturday, and he was behind James Rogers. Then we brought in another backup named T. Talbott (btw he is a frosh) who couldn’t tackle a player running a circle around him resulting in a key conversion and ultimately another touchdown.
Speaking of our D, OMG we hate them let’s switch schemes and coaches at the same time-it makes us feel better. Or alternatively everything is peachy in time, we just need to score more points on O this year. Let’s give RichRod a few more years to build a D (it takes offensive geniuses min. 5 years to build a D). His offense is sweet except against rivals lately due to our frosh/soph qbs though we don’t primarily blame them or the coaches though some of us still do blame-it makes us feel better.
God bless and (everyone please agree at least to say) Go Blue!

Paging a mod. Cleanup is needed.

Fun police, sorry for interjecting humor to both sides so we can laugh and prep for Iowa. Mods feel free to delete.
A serious question/contribution then. You are Michigan's offensive coaches. You have dominated the 1st quarter against ND (14 pts), IU (14pts + fumble at 1), and MSU (3 pts + TO, O-line killed 'em).
Why is our offense stalling out a bit after the dominating the first quarter in these games? The largest factor to me is our lack of establishing a ground game with a RB to compliment Denard. Teams are adjusting to him. I thought Stephen Hopkins actually looked the best Saturday assuming Shaw was injured. Discuss amongst yourselves.

What is "the other team adjusts"?
Thanks, Alex... I'll take Iowa for 400.

Like OMG, why can't Tom Brady throw 8 touchdowns every single game? This game of football is so hard to understand.
October 11th, 2010 at 2:33 AM ^
that the same crap keeps getting posted over and over again into new board topics? Going over the coulda, shoulda, woulda doesn't turn that loss into a W....Iowa comes to town this week in case nobody noticed...lets focus on that....no need to jump off the Denard bandwagon and start complaining after one sub par performance.
October 11th, 2010 at 7:32 AM ^
Agreed, there is nothing we, as fans, can do about it but support the team. So let's just keep supporting them and focus on the Hawkeyes.

In season it should be >500 points to start threads.
October 11th, 2010 at 8:27 AM ^
yeah, all it takes to get 100 points is just one good photoshop job of Lloyd Brady. These topics are getting really old. "In my opinion.....", "why didn't ______ do _____", "what's with _____".
October 11th, 2010 at 9:15 AM ^
It should be 10,000 points to be able to complain about them.
We waste more space and kill more time by complaining about these threads. Honestly, we get it. Nobody is allowed to say anything about the team unless they have 14 billion points and joined the site in 1982.
October 11th, 2010 at 9:16 AM ^
The only thing more annoying than stupid threads like this are comments to the effect of "It should take [insert # slightly fewer than the number of points I have] points to start threads."
October 11th, 2010 at 7:56 AM ^
Ok cool. Let's start to breakdown Iowa. That sounds fun.
October 11th, 2010 at 10:55 AM ^
I would have made the same decision with denard. I would have kept him in for sure.

I think I actually got dumber reading this post.
