Week 4: Best thing you saw...
September 25th, 2016 at 12:42 AM ^
ND losing 4 of last 5 games to give us back the title of the WINNINGEST program in college football history. Oh, and sparty sucks
September 25th, 2016 at 12:50 AM ^
Of non-UM games:
Colorado - Oregon game was wildly entertaining. Two amazing TD catches by CO receivers originally ruled incomplete, huge comeback by Oregon, CO re-taking the lead then intercepting last-gasp attempt by Oregon.
Any team wearing uniforms as ridiculous as Oregon's did not deserve to win.
Wisky dismantling Sparty - fun to watch.
ND losing to....Duke? Reminiscent of front-butt Weis years.
Last play of LSU-Auburn - Hatter's magic runs out.
College football is great!
September 25th, 2016 at 1:38 AM ^
Arizona's QB Dawkins just made an incredible play.
315 lb guy had him completely engulfed, and somehow he got away, alllllmost stepped OOB, then fired a 50-yd strike an inch over the safety's hand.
AZ just scored to tie game with Washington with :17 left. OT here we come - wow.
September 25th, 2016 at 8:28 AM ^
And OSU not winning!
September 25th, 2016 at 12:54 AM ^
Colorado was a good one. Amazing that they scored 41 with that guy who went 0/6 with nothing really close last week.
September 25th, 2016 at 1:03 AM ^
HOWEVA....Oregon is not very good, IMO.
That said, Colorado is a lot better than most realized and they're definitely moving forward as a program.
September 25th, 2016 at 1:10 AM ^
If Colorado can beat oregon with their backup qb, the only teams that can beat them are Stanford or Utah. Not that tough of a schedule. Ucla or usc maybe as well but both aren't that great.
September 25th, 2016 at 1:32 AM ^
Everyone used to think David Shaw was just riding out Harbaugh's coattails... Seems Helfrich is actually the one riding out Chip Kelly's.
First time Oregon has lost back to back since 2007 I believe. Ouch.
September 25th, 2016 at 1:48 AM ^
"Well...."
September 25th, 2016 at 12:56 AM ^
I mean it's impossible to pick. It was as great as great could be.

It was really nice to see Jake Butt actually blocking with some success
September 25th, 2016 at 1:01 AM ^
1. 326 yards and 6 TDs by 5 different backs & aside from the FB GL plunge, no back averaged less than 6.7 YPC and all topped 50 yards. Hopefully quieting the masses, at lead for a week.
2. Jourdan/Taco
3. MSU implosion
4. ND losing at home to Duke
5. Colorado proving that last weeks 3 score win was an impressive showing against a tough opponent that's going to give a lot of teams fits and is probably better than LSU, MSU, ND & Texas.

- Michigan OL dominate the LOS in the run game
- Wisky put its nuts on Sparty's forehead and Sparty do nothing about it
- Duke knock off Kelly at HOME
- Stanford drive down the field FTW
- Harbaugh support his players who are finding their way through this period where social issues in our country have come to the forefront of conversation, media, etc. (no politics here...I just like that Harbaugh understands he coaches 18-22 year olds who are literally figuring out who they are, what they believe in, and what they stand for...and he's supporting them in their journey whether he or anyone agrees with it or not)
September 25th, 2016 at 1:06 AM ^
Very good #5 sir. I too admired that.

September 25th, 2016 at 9:35 AM ^
I admired your #5 as well especially because Harbaugh is on record as saying he doesn't agree with protesting the anthem. Yet he allows others to exercise their right. That's cool.

If we get past Wisconsin, I feel pretty good about starting 11-0.

Manball hearts you back

I was at the UT-Florida game today. Best thing was watching an amazing comeback, energized crowd and breaking an 11 year streak of losses to Tennessee's most hated rival (unfortunately, we can relate to that). Wish I could post pictures, but this blog doesn't seem to support that feature.

Thanks. I do most all posting and reading on here from my phone. I actually love this blog and the UM community discussions on here much more than the other sites I've visited. Greater level of humor and maturity on this forum. I got some great pics of Neyland as a checkerboard, but I'm a little too lazy to get to a computer to share. It was an amazing game to visit.

On the visit to Neyland, I've been to Neyland for UT-Bama and Gainesville for UF-UT. Great experiences. For the true college football fan, a night game in the SEC is a must.

I felt for UT. Seeing FL CB Jalen Tabor (I think that's his name) along with a bevy of other Gators talking so much garbage before the game, having them go up big and then lose like that had to feel amazing for UT.
September 25th, 2016 at 1:23 AM ^
I'm still not sold on Wisconsin. they have 2 quality wins, but we don't know how good msu or lsu are. obviously Wisconsin will be Michigan's toughest test so far, but I'm holding judgment on all team till about week 7.
September 25th, 2016 at 1:31 AM ^
37-14 Michigan

No need to hold judgment there. We're awesome.
September 25th, 2016 at 1:59 AM ^
i like both these comments
September 25th, 2016 at 2:04 AM ^
Wisconsin's run defense is stout. But I don't think Hornibrook will be able to do much against M's defense. I could see M winning in a low-scoring game, 20-10.
September 25th, 2016 at 2:29 AM ^
If you're not sold on Wisconsin yet and Michigan beats Wisconsin then you have no reason to be sold on Michigan. You and ESPN. Wisconsin has two good wins and are a good team. I hope we crush them because we are elite

I don't like the 'we don't know yet...' but it's still true at this point. I feel like there are still a lot of question marks out there as far as who is actually great. I can say that FSU's defense is probably terrible. And LSU's offensive show of the staff should be canned... But is MSU actually any good? How good is Wisconsin? Clemson? Alabama's not been impressive to my mind. Colorado? Lots of questions.
September 25th, 2016 at 10:57 AM ^
I"d say Wisconsins defense is legit. I didn't watch the game and assumed from the score that Wiscy dominated on both sides. But then i saw that one touchdown came from a scoop and score fumble, one came on a 5 yard TD drive and another came from like a 25 yard TD. I'd have to guess our game next week will probably be a lower scoring affair. I think our D can handle their offense and we'll need to stay away from turnovers when we have the ball. That was definitely the difference in the Wisky/MSU game.
September 25th, 2016 at 1:35 AM ^
The oline for penn st so worried about peppers shoot the gap they didn't block the dline
September 25th, 2016 at 1:36 AM ^
All the suckers both on this blog and in the media bitched that M couldn't run the ball. Harbaugh crams the ball down PSU throat by running the ball.

I mean.. yeah he did, but... did you notice the cardboard cut outs PSU had playing linebacker?
Wisky's defense will be a true test imo.
September 25th, 2016 at 2:42 AM ^
was a good thing............for us and for CU
September 25th, 2016 at 2:03 AM ^
Besides a Michigan win?
Asu vs Cal in Tempe. Over/under was 85.5 and the two teams had combined for 85 points when there was 50 sec left. Cal was attempting an onside kick as they were down by 3. One figures asu would recover and take knees to run out clock, preserving the under by a half point. Instead the onside kick goes awry and the ASU player returns it for a touchdown!! Haha! First time I have ever seen an onside kick returned for a TD
September 25th, 2016 at 3:22 AM ^
I grabbed it 83 earlier in the week. At 27-20 after three quarters it wasn't looking great, but of course they combine for 45 points in the fourth and cash the over. Cal over's are money this year.
September 25th, 2016 at 3:56 AM ^
How about having the unc/pitt over at 66.5. Pitt up 36-30 unc with the rock. UNC calls run with 20 something seconds left and no time outs at the 10 that goes down to the 5 tick tick tick tick. 10,9,8,7 pitt hikes it 6,5,4 passes to the right into the endzone with :02 left TOUCHDOOOOOOWN! But wait a flag.... PI ON PITT game over!

Harbaugh allowing the team's aggressive approach on offense to extend to 4th downs.
September 25th, 2016 at 3:23 AM ^
- Speight escaping contact repeatedly and making plays downfield. He's been amazing so far at moving around and buying extra time.
- Wormley was a force today.
- Lewis back and playing at a high level.
- Also, some really great blocks on Peppers first punt return.
September 25th, 2016 at 6:43 AM ^
Michigan's run game
Michigan's defense
ND losing
Sparty losing
Arkansas losing
USC losing... I'll always hate that program
Loved the Tennessee comeback
Felt my unborn child move for the first time. It was unreal.

Scoring TD to make it 49. F*** PSU. Loved it.
Loved the MANBALL in 4th qtr. Michigan FB at its best.
I was getting work related emails from sparty fans while their game was going on. They just don't leave the stadium. They leave their TV also. Enjoyed it very much.
ND sucking again. HELL with ND.
CO game was good and so was AUB.
Wisconsin showed what it can do, but I have a feeling we have not yet. Vanilla offense was the best and looking forward to a Wisconsin beat down.
September 25th, 2016 at 7:42 AM ^
Whats more impressive was they did it without Glasgow or was that the quietest game he has ever had since he came to UM. Because I don't remember him being out there.
September 25th, 2016 at 9:17 AM ^
Glasgow was out there plenty but he did rest for 1-2 series in the 3Q and then didn't play in the 4th.

While I loved the 326 yds rushing, I'm not going to pretend that PSU actually has a DL or LB's. I am also not going to pretend that watching Harbaugh say 'fuck it, ram it down thier throats' all game long was not simply awesome! I loved the decisions to go on 4th - field position on the first couple were no man's land - punting doesn't help, too far for a FG. But that 4th & 7? That was simply telling his team he wanted a TD in no uncertain terms. Loved it! Too often, teams punt on 4th & 1 near FG territory - pisses me off every time.
Franklin's TO and FG, down 28, validated Brian's statement: 'Hoke vs Franklin is a good coaching matchup'...
Stanford's drive FTW had the feel, and the entire stadium knew that TD was coming. But I'll give UCLA credit - they played a damn good game. The game wasn't close because Stanford played poorly, it was close because UCLA played well.
I loved how MSU got steamrolled. I thought they might lose that game, but never thought 30-6 was in the cards.
Brian Kelly was out-coached by David Cutcliff. LMAO!! I mean, Cutcliff is legit - the man can coach. And Kelly is proving to be vastly overrated.

Running backs for Michigan. Particularly Higdon impressed me.

reminded me of the Bo, Mo, Lloyd days when the team was so disciplined that Detroit Lion like penalties were very, very rare so they would not beat themselves. Let the opposition beat themselves.
September 25th, 2016 at 12:03 PM ^
Agreed. At one point I said out loud that this looked like the Bo/Mo teams of my youth.

looked great and really has looked great in very limited action all year. The worst thing was the refs late in the game (aside from Clark). Hopefully they got that out of the way before the important games.
