2 years 46 weeks ago Is it even possible to get

Is it even possible to get sick of those memories? It's time to Harbaugh some new ones coming up. Let's goooooooooooooo!!!

3 years 15 weeks ago Happy Harbaugh! I hope 2015

Happy Harbaugh! I hope 2015 is a much better football year.

WHO'S GOT IT BETTER THAN US???

3 years 19 weeks ago I am currently obsessed with

I am currently obsessed with this game. I am th level 6 level 42 I keep the trophies in between 1000-1100 to farm effectively. It is incredibly addicting. I'm in a clan with family and we just started going to war recently. Clan wars make it even more addicting, if that's possible.

3 years 24 weeks ago Ok I'll show up for the

Ok I'll show up for the posbang. This season has been so bad that posting in a posbang thread has become necessary.

3 years 27 weeks ago His dancing is so much better

His dancing is so much better live at the game. They don't show his full range of moves on TV. It's definitely entertaining and it pumps up the crowd.

3 years 31 weeks ago Both UFR's confirmed what I

Both UFR's confirmed what I thought after the game: 31-0 makes no sense to me.  I didn't feel like we played a bad game.  In fact, I thought we played pretty well, mainly in the first half, yet we were still down 21-0.  It made no sense.  Either ND played at another level (which they probably did, the rest of the season will figure that out), or we made too many little mistakes.  But I didn't think it should add up to 31-0.

3 years 32 weeks ago Wait, we don't? Refer to last

Wait, we don't? Refer to last year, the Rich Rod years, and many of the Lloyd years. Or was that sarcastic? I'm confused now. Although I agree App St is not the right reference point.

3 years 33 weeks ago Obvious attempt at a reverse

Obvious attempt at a reverse jinx is obvious.

But seriously I don't understand the Herbie hate. He's usually pretty reasonable. Agree that Pollack is intolerable.

3 years 40 weeks ago Seth I'm so sorry for your

Seth I'm so sorry for your loss. Please accept my condolences. I have been taking care of my seriously ill father for the last two years. As hard as life has become, every day with him is a blessing. God bless your father and your family.

4 years 2 weeks ago Thank you. Respect. Go blue.

Thank you. Respect. Go blue. Always and forever.

4 years 14 weeks ago This just proves that the

This just proves that the board, or maybe michigan fans in general, can argue about anything. Why is this so hard? Thank you Al Borges for dedicating yourself to the program. It didn't work out as often as we would have liked, but there were some bright spots. Good luck in the future. Again, why so difficult?

4 years 14 weeks ago Great get by Hoke.  A sorely

Great get by Hoke.  A sorely needed breath of fresh air for the program.

4 years 19 weeks ago This is an insanely hard

This is an insanely hard question for me. Maybe it shouldn't be because you should always take a championship in football or basketball. But football...especially against that team...I'm not so sure. Not clear cut to me.

4 years 20 weeks ago That's correct, I made a

That's correct, I made a mistake in saying the fanbase.  I meant the negativity surrounding the program, of which we as fans have a very small role to play.  In this technology-driven universe, I do think a site such as this can lead to media picking up on the sentiment of the fan base, and searching for negative stories/angles that way.  I'm not saying it is the reason, but it has a small role in that.

As for our staff, for a defensive player, GMAT is as good as it gets aside from Saban, in my humble opinion.  But the instability surrounding the coaching staff (just offensive staff?) and general feel of the prorgram right now is leading to all of this.

4 years 20 weeks ago This is what the madness

This is what the madness surrounding the fanbase results in.  Instability is what causes recruits to rethink everything.  I'm as frustrated as everyone else, but the attacks on Hoke are over the top for me.  This is his third year, and we have had nothing like Rich Rod level cratering.  I want the offensive staff to be shaken up, but beyond that, I still believe in Hoke, which seems to be a minority view on the board of late.

We need to relax and give Hoke a litle more time.  Patience is difficult, I get it, but I think that's what is required right now.  Chill out; it's not like we didn't have seasons like this, record-wise, under LC, or Bo for that matter.  The manner in which it has happened has been ugly, no arguments there.  But we've been here before, and, in my opinion, we are nowhere near as low as we were during Rich Rod's first two years.  Stability is important right now, and patience with Hoke is what is needed at this time.

4 years 20 weeks ago I need a break from life.

I need a break from life.  All this sports nonsense just adds to everything else not going well.

4 years 20 weeks ago Precisely how I feel.

Precisely how I feel.

4 years 21 weeks ago pray.

pray.

4 years 22 weeks ago This is a harrowing story

This is a harrowing story that I had never heard about. Pretty damn inspirational.

4 years 22 weeks ago In a weird way, Brian's

In a weird way, Brian's writing is even more creative and entertaining when Michigan football is struggling.

4 years 22 weeks ago And if posbangs were still

And if posbangs were still around I'd be here for the gangbang.

4 years 22 weeks ago I laughed. I clicked on the

I laughed. I clicked on the thread waiting for the OP to get slammed.

4 years 22 weeks ago I'm so happy to hear things

I'm so happy to hear things went smoothly. I went through something similar with my father that did not unfortunately so we are still dealing with the complications. I read the thread earlier today and instantly got goosebumps. That happens any time I hear about brain surgery of any kind. Thank God things went well and I wish your wife and your family all the best. Go blue.

4 years 25 weeks ago The fact that this thread

The fact that this thread exists is a pretty sad commentary of our fan base. Refs are relevant in most games. Lets wait until after the game to judge their performance and the effect it had on the game. It may be an issue but let's not complain about it prematurely.

4 years 26 weeks ago Thoughts and prayers to the

Thoughts and prayers to the family. Terribly sad.

4 years 26 weeks ago I don't really think the

I don't really think the offense and defense should be compared because its pretty obvious which side of the ball is hurting the team right now. But if you look at talent alone, does GMAT have anything on defense approaching the talent of Lewan, Gardner, Gallon, Funchess, and Fitz? I think the answer is pretty obviously no. Jake Ryan is our best defensive player and he just came back. Countess can be included as well. But after that. I don't think the talent level compares favorably. Even so, while this is not a great defense by any means, it has been pretty solid.

4 years 26 weeks ago But I wanted the post where

But I wanted the post where pictures are highlighted of almost every single play in the overtimes involving the obscenely simple quick pass to the outside 10 yard cushion. Guaranteed 5-7 yard gain when trying to get into better fg range. All I could think about was that specific post. Disappointing. But not as disappointing as big Al.

4 years 27 weeks ago I'm more surprised that he

I'm more surprised that he hasn't mixed it up more this year and showed different looks. I think he did that more in the last couple seasons, with the okie package and various coverages behind it. Most of what we've seen this year has been the passive secondary alignment and calls. Maybe more varied packages are coming as the season and competition progresses. Regardless, I'm still a member of the In GMAT We Trust group.

4 years 27 weeks ago I'm not even sure what to say

I'm not even sure what to say in my reply except I wish nothing but the best for patients and family members going through a loved one having cancer. My family has been coping with my dad's brain cancer and resulting complications for over a year now. It takes its toll in every way imaginable. Sometimes you're just not sure if you have the ability to handle it anymore but you soldier on.

4 years 31 weeks ago Does anyone else hate the

Does anyone else hate the jump because they have a completely obsolete computer and it takes too long to keep jumping to the rest of the post? Oh...it must just be me.
