They did a nice job. Never found myself wondering what was going on.  

Turn your phone sideways.

Does anyone remember when…

Does anyone remember when Tieman was U-M’s PBP man? Pretty sure it was during the Amaker era but there’s nary a mention of it on the internet. I want to say it was because he owned the production company U-M was using at the time. Did I just dream this or can anyone confirm lol. 

Something, something,…

Something, something, something, LEO-NARD BERN-STEIN!!!

I question whether the…

I question whether the Raiders are in play any longer.  The rumor actually made a lot of sense when the Raiders played in Oakland given Harbaugh’s strong ties to the Bay Area, but now that they are in Vegas, aren’t they just another team?

You’ve been on the board…

You’ve been on the board long enough to know what happens when somebody makes a duplicate post and yet here you are.  I say the ribbing is all in good, clean fun. Don’t click if you find it irksome.  

All seven of their fans…

All seven of their fans including The Situation and Mr. Magoo must be thrilled. 

I was at the game last night…

I was at the game last night and sat close to the bench. Just my opinion, but something is amiss with the chemistry on this team. There’s a lot of sulking and poor body language going on right now. It’s not at all like last year, when the bench was chanting “Lock up!” when Michigan was on defense or going bonkers after a big block or dunk.

He’s really giving IU the shaft.

Does their offensive line have the ability to keep him erect?

Would Franz have even considered Michigan if Beilein hadn’t brought his brother in?

This team plays no defense.  Who are they going to beat in the B1G?

I’m worried about the repercussions this will have for our staff. Hate to say it, but I see either USC or OU making a run at Sherrone Moore as a result of this.  

Well, I’ll be.  I never…

Well, I’ll be.  I never noticed that before. 

It’s not about ending a…

It’s not about ending a streak—that can happen on any given day. You need to get back to being competitive on a consistent basis and there’s zero guarantee that will ever happen. Ask former Big Ten powerhouse and seven time national champion Minnesota if you don’t believe that.

RVB is fine, but Skene is better.  

Mel Tucker may or may not be…

Mel Tucker may or may not be elite, but you can be damn sure U-M will do their part to build him up into world beater status with some shitty play — just as they did with Jim Tressel and Mark Dantonio before him.  In both cases, Michigan failed to squash what at the time were seen as pretty meh hires while they were still in their infancy at their respective schools.  Michigan’s mediocre play against them not only allowed them to gain a foothold, but ascend to legendary status. It looks like we could be headed down the same path with Tucker.

Truth be told, MSU doesn't have a good defense.  U-M made them look better than they are.

Penix will probably be in since it’s so cold. 

U-M is now 4-10 vs MSU over…

U-M is now 4-10 vs MSU over the last 14 years. Like it or not, U-M is MSU’s little brother in football now. Seems like the best course of action at this point would be less trash talk and more embracing of the underdog mindset, because that’s what U-M is every time they play MSU — an underdog.  The power of the underdog mindset is a powerful weapon in sports.  The MSU program and fanbase have embraced that mindset and it has become part of their culture. Michigan, on the other hand, hasn’t don’t anything of note for almost twenty years, and yet the fanbase and the program still act condescending and smug toward MSU.   How’s that working out?  Until the culture changes, get used to being owned by MSU, as they will always own the mental edge.   

I’m obviously mistaken, but…

I’m obviously mistaken, but I thought there was a no night games in November rule. 

Can you imagine the board’s…

Can you imagine the board’s reaction to this had U-M gone on to lose?  HARBAUGH SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE TEAM FOCUSED ON FOOTBALL INSTEAD OF LETTING THEM DO THE JUMP AROUND RABBLE RABBLE!

The obligatory “I don’t care…

The obligatory “I don’t care if we wear [INSERT OUTLANDISH COLOR COMBINATION HERE] as long as we win” response has become an MGoBlog staple.

Any word on why Andy Mignery’s services we’re not retained?  Devin’s great, but I will miss hearing Andy on MMQB.

Thank you for bringing back “The Guys.” They’ve been banished to the nether regions of the blog for the better part of ten years. 

If Yost is as bad as they…

If Yost is as bad as they say, why stop at just changing the name of an arena? If Michigan really wanted to make a statement, they’d voluntarily rescind all of the victories they earned during the Yost years Yost era. As Charles Barkley recently asked, will they have the balls to do that?

Quite simply, this says more about the Lions and their sad state of affairs than it does about Campbell’s love for Iowa State.

Just think how badly this would have stung if we were a football school like Indiana.  217 days until the start of basketball season.

It’s far more likely that he has a middling career bouncing from program to program at this point. That’s how these types of situations typically turn out.

When are those Earth, Wind and Fire tickets coming in?

So they are saying is that…

So what they are saying is that Phil Martelli is better than their coach. Kind of a self-own, don't you think?

I’ll stop saying they didn’t…

I’ll stop saying they didn’t make the tournament when they stop saying that we won half a national championship in ‘97. Until then, streak over. 

They're not a blue blood. …

They're not a blue blood.  Once Izzo leaves, they slide back to basketball mediocrity.

Since this was a "play-in…

Since this was a "play-in game," you had to win to earn a spot in the tournament field, right? As far as I'm concerned, Izzo's tournament streak is over and we should remind Sparty about it at every possible opportunity.  After all, nobody talks more about us winning "half a title" in '97 than MSU fans.

Go back and check the sequence at the 13:30 mark of the first half.  

There was a sequence around…

There was a sequence around the 13:30 mark where Livers appears to injure himself. After bricking a three, Livers was the last man back on a Maryland run out. Maryland was able to covert a fast break layup with an and one on Livers. Livers lost his footing while trying to defend the play and came up lame afterward.  I figured it was another groin injury, but maybe this is where he injured his foot. Hopefully he’s fine, but when it comes to Livers and his health, you are always holding your breath, just waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Ohio State are a bunch of chokers.  Washington folded down the stretch once again.  Haven't been the same since the coach started talking about gold charms for beating Michigan. Hate to see it.

Started talking about gold jersey charms for beating Michigan. Haven’t won since. Hate to see it.

Thanks for the update, GoJG…

Thanks for the update, GoJG.  It all sounds very intriguing but with all due respect, there is nothing anyone can say or do that is going to make me believe any hype coming out of spring practices. This year, I’m from Missouri. 

Washington couldn't miss…

Washington couldn't miss against us.  Was a complete bum down the stretch in this one.

Let’s hope he didn’t play any role in the recruitment of the two kids from Tennessee.

When he wins, NOBODY is better than Izzo at running the “aw shucks” routine. Of course, it’s easy to be gracious in victory. If only he were as gracious in defeat.

Many people are blind to it…

Many people are blind to it. They hear PxP and color men constantly parrot platitudes and cliches during broadcasts about how Izzo isn’t one to make to make excuses for his team. The announcer earlier today said this very thing. If you repeat something enough, people will believe it. 

Stop.  The Browns are not…

Stop.  The Browns are not and have never been more incompetent than the Lions.  It only seems that way because the Browns are media darlings and lovable losers — the NFL’s version of the Cubs — while the Lions are, well, irrelevant.
