Time for Michigan Monday!
"The Rutgers sideline looked like the aftermath of the Mount St. Helens eruption. Recruiting hosts and staff were laid one on top of the other like pummeled timber because of Jim Harbaugh's pyroclastic flow. His hellish firecloud took zero prisoners and even came back repeatedly throughout the night looking for survivors to destroy. And he found them. Every time."

I haven't read it yet, but I haven't been this excited since Christmas 1979...
October 10th, 2016 at 9:06 PM ^
Christmas in the 70's....

anyone remember H.O. scale cars? we had a track in our attic. at michigan i found a set of cars/track and set it up in our room. we had some hellacious races late at night, after the bars closed.

Christmas wasn't Christmas until I'd received at least one of these in my stocking...
October 10th, 2016 at 9:51 PM ^
One of the happiest days of my childhood is when I got one of these for Christmas....

were pretty awesome back in the late 60's / early 70's. Available in "Big O" or "Extended Eight" track layout, lap counter, juice machine (charger). Great stuff. (I can't post images for some reason.)

I had this exact train set when I was a kid.

Cool kids never have the time.

was one of the funniest Michigan Mondays I've ever read, thanks for posting it.

This made my night: "Rutgers threw the ball 18 times and completed just two passes for a total of five yards. That's a passer rating of 'maybe you should quit football and focus on academics instead'."
October 10th, 2016 at 8:43 PM ^
October 10th, 2016 at 8:55 PM ^
That made me think of "frickin' sharks with frickin' laser beams on their heads!!!"
October 10th, 2016 at 8:31 PM ^
"Watching Rutgers try to throw the ball was like watching a pregnant woman try to get on a horse. Yeah, it's funny at first, but then you just kind of feel bad for not offering to help.
'Here, Chris Laviano, let me throw that to your second read for you. Watch me. Watch. See? Like that. Now you try it. No, no, we don't throw with two hands, we throw with one hand. Chris, you're not listening. Get the ball out of your mouth. Chris...'"

Gerdeman mailed it in this week. He only watched half the game. Much of his commentary is based more on the box score than actual observations this week. He's done better work.
October 10th, 2016 at 8:52 PM ^
Better? Sure. More entertaining? I don't know about that. Besides, it's Rutgers. Who gives their best for Rutgers?
October 11th, 2016 at 6:30 AM ^
Harbaugh & Co.
October 10th, 2016 at 10:33 PM ^
Maybe. But I mailed it in too. After the first half, I quit watching and went on to other things. I mean, I love Michigan football, but watching more was just watching cruel and unusual punishment. Not enjoyable for me.

You only have so many minutes of Michigan football during the year. I cherish every single minute of it. Plus, I don't leave any game early even in a blowout to watch the youngsters play - same concept.
October 11th, 2016 at 8:31 AM ^
Not only was I watching the game, I kept rewinding to see the plays again! There were many milestones to see:
- Would we score more than OSU
- Would we break the Michigan rushing TD record
- Would we hold Rutgers to 0 first downs
The MGoWife was upset that I was still watching the blow out (you know they already won) and not watching the Cubs game (her team; not mine).

Very pleasant reading. Thanks for sharing.

Opponents are all on their own and if they don't leave the premises Jim Harbaugh will release the dogs or the bees or the dogs with bees in their mouths and when they bark they shoot bees at you.

Don't give him too much credit. It's a line from a old Simpsons episode.

Still funny

to be fair, The Simpsons have been on so long that 1/3 of all English sentences have been uttered on that show

...as I laugh manically. And I'm only about halfway through.
I wanted to copy and paste a quote but someone had already done it above.

Satellite camp. . .
that was pretty good.

I've read a few times in various media outlets that this was our third-largest margin of victory ever, but that can't be right. As this article notes, we once beat MSU 119-0 and OSU 86-0, and our program record is 130-0 over WVU (1904). Throw in that Chicago game from 1939 (85-0) and this can't be more than the fifth-largest. Do we not count Yost-era games for some reason or are we just a bit sloppy with the recordkeeping?
October 10th, 2016 at 9:15 PM ^
I think they mean Big Ten.
Not that Rutgers should count.

Forward Pass era only, maybe?

I don't care his allegiances. Hire this guy.
EDIT: Best line: "but you still have to be pretty good to score 78 points while trying not to score 150"
October 10th, 2016 at 8:51 PM ^
Oh sweet I was just thinking about this thanks!
