Best UFR Yet

As much as I enjoy reading through these (and I mean every single line) after the Michigan defense posts an apocolytpic shut out, I was actually looking forward to this UFR more than any previous.

I pray many blessings upon you for completing this despite the depressing.....nah not gonna say it.

Count me in the boat for PLAY GEDEON MOAR PLEASE. 

Big Props to RJS who has my favorite name on the team and played like a boss Saturday.

Cannot wait for Minnesota to grab a win for mouthwash to get this sickly taste of losing out of our teeth.

Steel in our spine.

 

GO BLUE

 

 

 

Praise be to the Guffie

That dude...

I'm really hoping to see some youtube videos in which he sprints down the starting chute and instead of the standard "jump in" to the bobsled, he does the old front flip into the sled a la his old highlight videos.

/runs, flips over large human, says "i'm sam mcguffie /flex

Good for him! I actually really like watching bobsled/luge/skeleton during the Olympics.

USA USA USA

Good Luck Kid

I don't love in-state talent going anywhere but Ann Arbor but I wish him well.

Funny thing is someday Michigan might meet Notre Dame again in a playoff/nonconference game and Harbaugh in company will get the opportunity to show Mr. Kareem what he's missing out on.

 

GO BLUE

Yikes

Those numbers sure are telling...

Thanks for posting some good numerical data to support your argument. 

I for one have been giving Rudock TOO much credit; believing he's better than he's been playing. Now that we are seven games in...there's too much evidence to suggest he's exactly what you said he is...a mid-level MAC QB.

Don't for a second think that's an attack on Jake either! I've been having a ball this year (with the exception of the last 10 seconds Saturday) but it is what it is. So long as he doesn't turn the ball over, we have to accept that his ceiling is his ceiling and it's not a very high one.

We "should" be able to compete with anyone left on our schedule and win most of if not all of the games remaining with the exception of course being../sigh Ohio State.

 

 

Thanks

I'll place my thoughts in the UFR next time.

Hope You're Right

I'm keeping expectations low as it seems that parades of running backs seem to flock to Columbus.

Thanks SC

Thank you for pointing out some specific adjustments. Those are things that cannot identify having not played football or studied x's and o's outside of what is gloriously provided here.

I'm fully confident in this coaching staff, I hope my post didn't come off "blame the coaches" because that certainly was not my intent.

Thanks again,

 

Brilliant

Simply put, UFR's are my favorite material.

I am certain they are painstaking to create but they are PURE GOLD to us Michigan Junkies!

Thanks and GO BLUE

 

 

Word

Can't cite specific players names, but in the past there sure seems a trend of "thought out" gentlemen returning for the Michigan game.

Oh i know one, the UNLV QB from last week people thought was out...

Team Doc: "wait is this Michigan week?"

Coach: "uh yes, yes it is"

Team Doc: "oh yeah, (player x) is cleared to play, good to go.

 

/facepalm

Forecast: PAIN

I'm excited to see Michigan push around and dominate an opponent. 

I really hope we see some vertical passing atttack and Rudock playing turnover free. 

Selfishly like to see Drake Johnson get some touches if he's healthy as well.

GO BLUE!

Draymond Green I'm sorry, but I've despised his "brand" of bully, push, shove, chirp, chirp, chirp, basketball since his fat@ss got to MSU.

Dude is a thug. I admire his motor, heart, and energy, no doubt! But how those qualities manifest themselves in his game, I can never get behind.


Best Player in the Country That is why Hagar The Hulk is the NPOY.

She gets to touch the ball every play and she is clearly the best pitcher in the country.

The better team won today.


Congrats Florida. Atleast they gave us Erin Andrews.
Sigh Takes the 2-0 hitters pitch, you can almost bank on will be a fastball...comes right down the pipe. Then you're sitting 2-1 and you know she can throw the change for a strike, another take...

Missed opportunities.
Hmm Worst Case Scenario Perfect time to make a dumb decision... Throwing that ball to 2nd? Did Monty not realize that only one other batter had batted... Meaning on first base was the lead off hitter... General the fastest player on the other team...


Yesterday they went to 1st everytime, the day before as well, grand time for a bonehead play.
Mitch McGary In the building rooting on the ladies!!!
HUGE Play! Now let's wake up the bats!

Let's goooooo Bluuuuue!
The Hulk She is just mowing us down.

I suppose that's why she's the POY.
Plenty upon plenty of chances Couldn't hit with runners in scoring position. The better team won.
That Florida pitcher, props to her, pro-work not being shaken by the pressure, the early walk, the meat of Michigan's lineup.

Gonna be hard for Michigan without support from their Ace.
2,3,4 Hey, if we weren't gonna win it there, we're going to do it with OUR best hitters and possibly the best hitter to ever wear the block M leading off!

It's our BEST vs. well their 2nd best pitcher, but LET'S GO!
2 in a row Betsa Not looking like the Ace...gotta be a leader.
2 Hands I can hear my father yelling from 150 miles away to "use 2 hands!"
IMO She shouldn't be re-entered unless Wagner begins to struggle.
So Many Freaking Lead Off Hits This game is waaaay too intense! Go Blue!
Show the K-Zone They're afraid too, because ESPN knows those are strikes lol.
San Francisco, CA I unfortunately call the state of Ohio home. My wife and I were on a spring break trip up highway 1. Every night Michigan played we made certain to hit a bar up the coast, unfortunately she's also a MSU fan so we watched their games as well.

Anyways, we're at a 2 story bar overlooking the coast and I'm the only Michigan clad patron in the building. Fortunately for me the bartender loved that and wouldn't stop bringing shots after Trey out down the dagger.

Thankfully I was in a strange land far far away from where I'm from, for i have never been so emotional and loud during a game in a public place.

Great freaking memory! Thank you Trey.
Unsurprising Sure i thought it would have been Kentucky, but I never truly believed that Michigan had a chance with him. Outside of McGary, the top 1% recruits have no interest in learning a "system" and having to play ball the way JB does.

Im fine with it, since Michigan will most likely never see the kid, so best of luck to him, wish he had picked Michigan, but if I have learned anything over my 29 year Michigan fanhood it's that Michigan doesn't get breaks, we are the home of the never ending dong punch.
Malik McDowell Everytime I hear his name mentioned i want to throw something :)

Sure hope their defense takes a BIG step back without Narduzzi around anymore.

I miss the days of SpartyNooooooo
Crap One play in and they already have more offense than our "Maize" team had in the entire first half
:(
Love it Personally Competition doesn't seem to be stopping any running backs from going to Ohio...
The Right Move

IMO

The right move is to stay, put a full season together and prove to scouts that despite being a senior (still young tho) that he can do it all while being checked by other teams' best defender: shoot, pass, rebound, DEFEND.

A deep tournament run certainly seems to help players' draft stock as well :)

If I had to wager a guess however, I'd say he's gone, Manny, Darius, Glenn, etc. all left early, so I'm expecting to have my michigan heart broken again. The trend at Michigan seems to be "Leave" unfortunately for fans. 

Whichever Caris chooses, I wish him the best! I don't think we've seen his full potential.

GO BLUE

Uhh Amazing! Call me crazy but I am HYPE about this pickup! I'm so sick of seeing other teams pin us inside the 10 and other teams' punters drop balls on the goal line with more back spin than I can generate with my lob wedge and completely own the field position game. This dude is gonna do things at Michigan, things we have never seen!

Can't wait to see some of these fake punts and directional punts for the Maize and Blue! Welcome Blake!!
Call Me a Hater But I remember just two years ago when WE were in the championship and should have walked out with hardware. If we can't have shiny things, then neither should they,

GO BLUE DEVILS
Good Luck Wisconsin I think you're going to need it...
Duke Completely let off the gas pedal in the second half...they walked the ball up the floor every time and we're very deliberate.
That was a clean poke-away Where was the foul!? Plumlee didn't touch him.
Headed to Ann Arbor Hoping it warms up... 32 degrees.

#whuss
Poor Mr. Harris The poor chap just seems plagued...like he's offended the angry drake Harris hamstring crippling god.

Well, hope he can take a medical, did he redshirt last year or medical?
Offensive Rebounding And that is another perfect example of why offensive rebounding is HUGE and the fact that JB only sends one guy on the offensive glass is a severe handicap.
Best Case Scenario Sparty loses in finals (a la Michigan) and Trice and Dawson graduate, meanwhile valentine has incredibly tournament and goes pro.

I cannot wait to see that trio never on the court for Izzo ever again.
Welp I remember how GREAT it felt watching Michigan make the run to the finals 2 years ago...

Only to lose and realize that it all meant nothing and no one remembers lol

I Hate Sparty Sorry, but I can't stand watching them be successful with such a pathetic brand of basketball.
Never Pick Against Izzo in March Maybe you guys are too young, but I have sparty in the final four. They just don't go down in March, I don't know what it is.

Can't wait for Trice and Dawson to graduate.
Post of the Day Thank you for that post! What's shocking is how close Michigan is despite the numerous advantages of sparty and their recruits :)
Well Said Ol' Izzo is a master at "working the officials" no surprise there.

I don't care if they win the BTT, they'll be lucky to win 2 games in the dance!
Valen-Fricken-tine Hits his first bucket and unleashes his gap toothed grin :=)

Hope Trimble and Wells can make a push...but I doubt it.

Watching them get waxed by Wisconsin would be fun :)
Go Terps Few things make me as happy as watching Sparty suffer.

Damn Trimble you a boss.
Pfft Not without LeVert,

We will be probably 3rd or 4th best in conference.

Wisconsin, Sparty, Ohio, Maryland then probably Michigan
Good Luck Wisconsin You're going to need it :)

The better more talented team won today.

Oh and go Sparty beat the bucks tonight.
Agreed If they run into an athletic up-tempo team that pushes the ball in transition and has some defensive rebounding it will be a battle.
Get Psyched Wisconsin You're neck and neck with a .500 team playing without their 2 best players, and using 6 freshmen...

Good luck in the tourney badgers, you won't be going home with any hardware.
