What should we do if Michigan has another season like last year?
I was just wondering what we should do if we have another bad year? I do not think i could go through that again.
My first game i ever watched was in 1969 and from then on i was a fan.
Everytime i watched a Michigan game until last year i felt like we could win the game know matter who we played. I had this amazing confidence in our team. Although Michigan has had some terrible losses over the years they always seem to bounce back and get a great win or finsh with a strong season to give you that little bit of hope.
When i watched a game last year i never felt that confidence that i once had. Now when i watch the games im in a complete state of fear.
The current team has made me deeply saddened.
I am shocked to see how 40 years of winning football has been erased in one year.
Michigan football is getting farther away from what it used to be and there is nothing anybody can do about it.
How do you guys feel about Michigan Football?
or an irrational Michigan fan. "I am shocked to see how 40 years of winning football has been erased in one year." You really think everything has been erased? If that were true, all the built in recruiting advantages would be gone too.
Also, for my sarcastic answer.
1. Jump off the bandwagon and pick a new team.
2. Kill ourselves
but it has taken a big hit. If Bo was alive today and watched his beloved team in this state i think he would have fired every single coach involved with the team.
instead of firing people, he would have gotten to working hard on fundamentals of the game. According to Bo, it's all about execution. All other things equal, execution trumps all.
Bo would have to be an idiot to do something like that and Bo was not an idiot. You I'm not so sure about.
but this year will be better primarily for two reasons: a year's experience, a qb who fits this system. If we have another 3-9 season, yikes! I can't even fathom it. I refuse to believe that could happen.
Worst case scenario, we suck less than we did last year.
Kent Brockman: Professor, would you say it's time for our viewers to panic?
Professor: Mmm, yes I would, Kent.
Remember what that Texas mother did to try to get her daughter on the cheerleader squad... Something inspired by that event would not be out of the realm of possibilities.
I'm going to get on with my life, just like I do after every game and every season no matter the outcome.
how would you feel?
And maybe a little sleepy.
smoking a lot of weed
Feelings/ oh wo wo feelings / wo wo wo feelings /trying to forget my / feelings of loss.
40 years of winning has been erased because of one bad season. No one will remember last season if RR starts winning 10+ games and taking Michigan to BCS games. Michigan went through a huge culture shock last year and the coaches and players did not adjust well to it. After two years of recruits and attrition RR has a lot of "his players" here. They may be young but there should be a considerable improvement year to year as the players gain experience.
No one will remember last season but I would. That was awful.
...I've always done. Support the team. Go to games. Watch other college football too.
Your post is ridiculous, no more so than to claim, as a poster named "Jay-Z," that you've been a Michigan fan for 40 years.
"a poster named "Jay-Z," that you've been a Michigan fan for 40 years."
I guess he could have liked M at 10 and could be a 50 year old Jay fan, but that is highly unlikely.
....and he can't claim his age ain't one.
In the words of Taj, from Van Wilder: "A good soldier does not leave his commander just because he lies wounded, arms torn off at the sockets, intestines spilling out onto the mud, picked at by the birds. I will stay on at no charge."
obvious troll fail is failing at trolling obviously
greatest university on the face of the planet. The reality is that RichRod has one full year of recruiting at the helm of M. He did manage to pull Barnum, Omameh, Shaw, Odoms, and Roundtree in his limited time after taking over the reigns. I would say that he has done exceptional on the recruiting trail and I fully expect to be back in a bowl game this year, contending for the Big 10 next year, and a perennial contender for BCS and NC after that.
Fire RRod!
Copy this thread so we can paste it in June of 2010.

This question is asinine.
There's nothing we can "do" except continue rooting for our team...
...unless you're implying that we campaign to fire Rich Rodriguez. Which would be retarded.
One bad season in 35 years and some of you guys go apeshit.
how would you feeeeel Magnus? sad? sleepy? horny? sugary?
Are those my only options?
no no, feel free to open up, this is a safe place. tell us how you will feeeeeeeel Magnus. it's ok.
One of my students ends the day by telling us all to "Have a whimsical day!"
So I'm gonna go with that.
Whimsical. I'll feel whimsical.
And also hungry.
I think I could sum up my feelings by writing an original song:
I can't see 'em comin down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry
I can't see 'em comin down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry
Good dudes - I know you love me like cooked food
Even though a nigga got move like a crook move
We was together on the block since free lunch
We shoulda been together havin 4 Seasons brunch
We used to use umbrellas to face the bad weather
So now we travel first class to change the forecast
Never in bunches, just me and you
I loved your point of view cause you held no punches
Still I left you for months on end
It's been months since I checked back in
Well somewhere in a small town, somewhere lockin a mall down
Woodgrain, four and change, Armor All'd down
I can understand why you want a divorce now
Though I can't let you know it, pride won't let me show it
Pretend to be heroic, that's just one to grow with
But deep inside a nigga so sick
I can't see 'em comin down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry
I can't see 'em comin down my eyes
So I gotta let the song cry
I can't see it comin down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry
I can't see it comin down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry
On repeat, the CD of Big's "Me and My Bitch"
Watchin Bonnie and Clyde, pretendin to be that shit
Empty gun in your hand sayin, "Let me see that clip"
Shoppin sprees, pull out your Visa quick
A nigga had very bad credit, you helped me lease that whip
You helped me get the keys to that V dot 6
We was so happy poor but when we got rich
That's when our signals got crossed, and we got flipped
Rather mine, I don't know what made me leave that shit
Made me speed that quick, let me see - that's it
It was the cheese helped them bitches get amnesia quick
I used to cut up they buddies, now they sayin they love me
Used to tell they friends I was ugly and wouldn't touch me
Then I showed up in that dubbed out buggy
And then they got fussy and they don't remember that
And I don't remember you..
I can't see it comin down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry
I can't see it comin down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry
Yeah I seen 'em comin down your eyes
But I gotta make the song cry
I can't see it comin down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry
A face of stone, was shocked on the other end of the phone
Word back home is that you had a special friend
So what was oh so special then?
You have given away without gettin at me
That's your fault, how many times you forgiven me?
How was I to know that you was plain sick of me?
I know the way a nigga livin was whack
But you don't get a nigga back like that!
Shit I'm a man with pride, you don't do shit like that
You don't just pick up and leave and leave me sick like that
You don't throw away what we had, just like that
I was just fuckin them girls, I was gon' get right back
They say you can't turn a bad girl good
But once a good girl's goin bad, she's gone forever..
I'll mourn forever
Shit I gotta live with the fact I did you wrong forever
I can't see 'em comin down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry
I can't see 'em comin down my eyes
So I gotta let the song cry
I know I seen 'em comin down your eyes
But I gotta make the song cry
I can't see 'em comin down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry
I hope that chorus doesn't have any sexual connotation,
'cause that's just gross.
large sum of feelings.
Hope things work out.
If Bo were alive, he'd kick the shit out of your defeatist attitude!
*Please Don't Feed The Troll.*
will probably cry and wet myself. but I do that when we win so I'm not a good example
I knew that a troll or two would break through the walls of this place at some time or other. You can tell by the lack of facts, sensationalism, (...but how does it make you feel...")and ridiculous questions. All of the past wiped away by one season? This guy needs to go back to the freep. You're not wanted here, bub. He's just reinforcing for me how nice it is not to have to deal with people like this on a daily basis. This site is for Michigan fans only. You are just interested in stirring the pot. Real fans support the team no matter what.
I don't think this our first troll
Please notice that MichFan1997 had this shit called out within three minutes of the post.
Now that deserves some credit.
I will take your credit! Seriously, the undertones of that post might not have been that obvoious, but it had troll written all over it to me.
...last year i felt like we could win the game know matter who we played. Maybe going into the game, but during the game, if the Bo's team got behind, it lost. During his heyday, his largest comeback was something like 7 to 10 points.
Michigan football is getting farther away from what it used to be and there is nothing anybody can do about it. Don't you think that fans during the early '60's felt the same way about Fritz Crisler's teams from the '40's? Ditto during the last 4 years of Kipke's reign (10-22 record) in the late '30's regarding the Yost years?
All programs have their down periods (even USC before Carroll). Michigan just hadn't gone through one for 40 years. It was 1 year, and we indeed may have another one.
How do you guys feel about Michigan Football? Many have said that the program was becoming ossified, and this became most apparent in Lloyd Carr's last season (regarding your point of having a chance to win any game we played, the Oregon and OSU games were over after the 1st half that year). Additionally, the team's fundementals had deteriorated to such an extent after Bo retired that missed tackles and poor pursuit angles became the norm rather than the exception.
Due to the number of scholarships allowed back in the 1970's, as well as money and facilities, Michigan had a tremendous advantage over most everyone other than ND and OSU. This advantage slowly eroded in the 1980's, and teams that were cannon fodder in the '70's became tough wins and occasional losses in the '90's and '00's.
There was a decision that had to be made when Carr retired. Was the University satisfied with the state and direction of the program (internal hire) or not. The decision to hire RR was the right one, but it is going to take more than a few months to modernize the program.
I will fart and sweat and rub my body odor all over other people's furniture.
the fact nobody bought into this bullshit is heart warming
heart warmed... and a strange feeling in my te te
AHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHA......this guy would be pushing fifty, if he existed, and his name is Jay-Z? You throwing up the Roc at your retirement home there buddy?
Someone tell this kid to get off the web before his mom comes home and finds out he's on a website where people say "fuck" and "shit"
sing this song to R2.

I'm 56 and I'm really down with M.C. Hammer. Nothing beats gold lamé pants.
It can't get any worse than last year: A new system, no QB, seniors causing a cancer on the team, a failed defense (which is partially RR's fault because he hired Shafer), young and inexperienced players etc...
This year, the system won't be as new, players will be hungry, there will be a QB, the seniors are gone and a proven DC is guiding the defense.
