Can we dispense with the snowflakes on this one? The only snowflake is a dark gloomy cloud full of cold tears of death there to rip a hole through the souls of real fans.
I like it. It would distance the replay official from the emotions of the game. Even in the booth I'm sure that the official is being rushed or biased by the game atmosphere. I think it would also be smart to have an observer there in the room whose job is to ensure accuracy and integrity. Furthermore, to promote transparency, you take screen shots that determined the call and send them to the affected to schools after the game.
Well can you explain away the replay booth. They have the time and technology to get it right, and they still got it wrong.
I know the logical thing to do is humanize the refs, but even the entire media disagrees with you and those refs. There's just no excuse when you have the benefit of official review!
I'd be happy if we weren't ranked. You know, that whole chip on your shoulder thing. It's clear these guys are working their asses off for more than just a number.
I don't see the rules changing. I think the pressure on officials to make football a non-contact sport has never been so high. They'd probably rather piss off an entire fan base and every football coach past, present and future, than stand in the way of a large political movement.
Don't get me wrong. I know we should be concerned about player safety. But, back when I played football we knew the risks and still loved being a part of it. I mean, it's football!
Sparty losing 2 games is a big possiblity, although unlikely considering we now know that God is now in the business of miracling Sparty into winning games. However, I don't see us beating OSU until our offense starts eliminating mistakes and executes.
You honestly believe after that horribly epic ending that all will be forgotten by next season. Maybe you've had a little to much to drink! My prediction is that every time Michigan is mentioned on television or on social media that there will be a referrence to this game subplanted in the conversation for at least the rest of this season if not most of next.
The question isn't will we beat Minnesota. It's will we beat ourselves. And why aren't there any threads dedicated to the refs? That was the worst officiating I've ever witnessed! For both sides!
I honestly don't seeing us winning too many more games the rest of the season or next season. I don't know much about basketball but it just looks like the players don't fit the system. Square peg in a round hole. His system requires consistent shooters from space and at least one guy that can take it to the rim. Back to the recruiting drawing board.
With posts on Harbaugh's mad dash to get a few quality last minute recruits. After that, we'll all most likely go into winter hibernation until spring practice.
He's been adament about Harbaugh staying NFL through the whole process. He'll probably still refuse to accept it when it's pen to paper. ESPN is just a passanger on the sinking ship.

How does Illinois score a touchdown during our Maryland game?
Should've left it at Ohio State @ Ohio State!
What's that supposed to mean?!?

But born and raised in Lansing?

How do you police the police? Something tells me there's zero chance this gets addressed like it should be. The Refs are untouchable and they know it.
Mama always said social media is the devil.

Who the fuck is making these comments anyways? Can someone out them so we can just take em behind the woodshed and deal with them already?
Isn't that also a sign of inconsistency? Furthermore, is inconsistency even a word?
It could be a lot worse. Especially if we're still talking about this a week from now.
Don't forget all of those dropped passes. Receivers need to help him out.

Worst. Officiating. I've. Ever. Seen.

Can I interest you in never ever coaching kids in any sport?
Those are some pretty hateful words for a kid that punted the ball 3 times in the 10 yard line and had a net punt for 80!!! yards.

If you truly believe that, then may I suggest not visiting any sports websites for the next 3 weeks. It'll be more than demoralizing for you.
It's more than a loss...it's an epic loss!
Everybody but the receivers looked good. Running game made you want to yawn. That defense is going to be tough!
Perhaps he's being Harbaughed.
Man, this would be huge. Continued LB depth is a staple.
We're experiencing human evolution right before our eyes.
Too significant for an acronym.
So basically we're going to lose the rest of our games before they even start.
That must mean we're done being officially official at the office of officiallity.
Certainly they are the most experienced as far as the NFL goes. What was it, 46 years of combined NFL experience?
Quit your job

LOL test cricket
Michigan makes it to a New Years Day bowl, and Harbaugh gets a raise.
I read on
Holy Ticket Prices!
I read on Yahoo Sports that the ticket prices for the Illini game are up towards $135 in anticipation of seeing Harbaugh announced at the game.
And when asked about the Michigan job at his presser he said nothing to discount it and said there will be an announcement later.
Translation: It's Happening.
He only does these things because he's still on the buckeye payroll.
And here I thought I was the only one that couldn't log in.
And yet very few of them will admit they're wrong and seem to blame world famine on college football fans.
John Bacon is an excellent source. I'm going to say this is that 100% everyone's looking for outside of the press conference.

Well it's not an SEC school that he's going to. So...there's all the evidence you need.

I foresee opening a can of whoop ass on our rivals returning.
That Dantonio is a classy guy. Too bad he wasn't born South America. He'd make a wonderful dictator.
I'm told the first thousand mgopoints are the hardest.
Were good friends with a family that's from Ohio and are Buckeye fans. Great dude with a nice family, poor taste in sports teams.
That literally could be anything.
We should probably be spending time with our families right now. Damn you HC search!
Fast forward a week and then you'll probably have something meaningful to report there.
What? No Jim Harbaughing!?!
