What if? Michigan football version

I hate that reasoning. If its a penalty, it's a penalty...doesn't matter when it happens during the game. If you want to argue it wasn't a penalty I may listen but saying a red can't make a call late is just sour grapes.

through that game before passing? What if OSU had not changed the turf out?

I agree, that call doesn't get made today, when refs are used to QBs running and getting hit.

That said, that game was awesome to the last minute, and enough of the breaks just did not go our way.

If you mean the 4th and 1 play, that was a pass play.  We probably would have been better off  calling a run.

The Iowa outcome didn't ultimately affect the Big Ten standings, siince MSU held the tiebreaker.

My senior year in high school I desperately wanted to get into Chicago, and even in the suburbs the name recognition wasn't great. If they had stayed in conference, would my high school have a bunch of kids wearing Maroons hoodies? Probably not because even Northwestern wasn't well represented (and it's about 35 minutes away, UC is double that and smaller), but interesting to think about either way.

So wait, you mean when I wonder what it would be like if my wife had bigger bewbs, you're telling me she might never had married me in the first place? What's the fun in that?

Brandon was never going to ask Miles to take the job.  The whole thing about the Michigan plane landing in Baton Rouge was completely insignificant and probably a coincidence. 

ok, say there wasn’t the venom between carr and miles, then what?

While, yes, it is true that Les Miles was never going to get hired as it was in 2007, all the OP would have to do is amend the question to "What if Bo was still alive in 2007, meaning Les Miles was hired?" And yes, Les WOULD have been hired if Bo was still alive at that time, as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow.

It's interesting to think about. That means Mallett, Boren, and Arringston stay. Possibly Manningham too, although I believe he would still declare for the NFL draft regardless. We're probably looking at a typical Lloyd kind of season in 2008, 9-10 wins and a January non-BCS bowl. I think we take Sparty, but the Ohio losing streak probably continues for another year, before we take them in 2009 during a 10-11 win season with a BCS bowl at the end. It's hard to project beyond that without knowing how he recruits, especially at QB(I'm assuming Mallett leaves after his junior year in 2009), but there's no reason to think we wouldn't have played for the National Championship last year against Alabama...setting up a rematch in Dallas to start this season. Boy, that'd be something.

I actually like thinking about "What if?" questions, but apparenly most don't...

I remembered that unpleasant detail too late (that ND won it all that year) but damn the end of that Miami game was painful to watch.  Especially when you know the team ran the table after that.

BBall version:

What if Frieder doesnt announce he's leaving until after the tourney?

What if C-Webb doesnt call time out? (yes I know the game wasn't actually played according to the NCAA)
