25 weeks 5 days ago	Its this kind of thinking	Its this kind of thinking that keeps this team from being better.   Isn't the goal here to beat those teams and bring home a rather large crystal football?
25 weeks 5 days ago	Get off this board and don't	Get off this board and don't come back.
26 weeks 2 days ago	That would be the universe my	That would be the universe my good man.  The universe is fine again.
26 weeks 3 days ago	As crudy as this seems at	As crudy as this seems at first glance I would like to see the final fallout on divison alignment and names before making a final decision.  There is still a few years left to round all the corners before Maryland and/or Rutgers gets here.
27 weeks 4 days ago	Yikes!	I would be upset with this after a 20 point win.  However, with 18 seconds left this team was dead, the game was over, and everyone knew it.  A dramatic come from behind win warrants this kind of reaction. As CRex said, water is indeed wet.
28 weeks 5 days ago	Seriously....	They had Nebraska down to one play and couldn't get it done well before the questionable Pass Interference call.  Solve the problem don't make excuses.
29 weeks 1 day ago	Borges simply doesn't know	Borges simply doesn't know what to do with the personnel and I fear for a future full of predictable, unimaginative offense that costs the team 2 to 3 games a year.  This hire will be known as Hoke's first mistake.
30 weeks 2 days ago	It may be too early to draw a	It may be too early to draw a conclusion but I think the picture that is beginning to fill in is worrisome.  Borges seems incapable of expanding his mind out side of his comfort zone and I am 100% sure that I have PTSD when it comes to coaches like this.
30 weeks 4 days ago	All you need to know is:	68-32-5

1 year 26 weeks ago	Don't apologize for not being	Don't apologize for not being done.  This is some legitimate good stuff.  Great work.
1 year 27 weeks ago	As true as that is I don't	As true as that is I don't think you have to win consistently at Ole Miss to be worshipped there.  Just stay above .500 90% of the time, challenge for the SEC title 1 out of 4 years and then have 1 or 2 seasons where you challenge for the Mythical NC.
1 year 28 weeks ago	Back to the Future	Brady Hoke:  When Lloyd Carr is just too old to coach anymore. Thank God we got a Michigan man back so that we can lose winnable road games to put a downer on the season.
1 year 31 weeks ago	I wish I had your optimism	I wish I had your optimism right now.  This game felt like a big flashback to the RR era.  Outplayed, outcoached, and low emotion.  I shall bookmark your post and hope that sometime this week I will appreciate it for what it worth.  Today was simply a bummer.
1 year 33 weeks ago	I laughed the hardest at the	I laughed the hardest at the very last sentence: "And Ohio State grinds out 16 yards of offense against Nebraska." I am 100% routing for this now.
1 year 35 weeks ago	I was so close to changing my	I was so close to changing my cable package here in Canada to pick up the BTN.  But now, not a chance.  15-20 second clips is damaging nothing no matter how you want to interrupt Fair Use.
1 year 35 weeks ago	Uhhhh	If he wants to stay in the race he is going to have to regain his form as a serviceable passer.  I shudder to think how this season would be going without his ability to make defenders look bad.
1 year 36 weeks ago	Best Quote	"Nobody does football like Notre Dame." Indeed.

2 years 8 weeks ago	I've seen the replay on ESPN3	I've seen the replay on ESPN3 maybe 100 times and I feel like they had the call right.
2 years 10 weeks ago	I agree	The AD size has nothing to do with academics.  They can afford it, big deal.
2 years 10 weeks ago	Comments	The comments on the article are funny as hell.  Half the comments call the writer garbage and the other half applaud him.  This entire incident has become one giant filter, allowing us to decipher the crazies from the sane.  I love it!
2 years 24 weeks ago	As did I	But that was probably nearly 10 years ago now.
2 years 25 weeks ago	I hope.....	....for Kevin's sake that this isn't a public release of a bigger problem.  Hopefully this isn't the beginning of a sad story, like Cissoko.
2 years 25 weeks ago	A long distance view	There are so many ways to evaluate a coach.  If you step away and evaluate the team forgoing all the crazy stats and recruiting and general banter among the two camps it looks like this.  (As always IMHO) Offense has gotten better clearly.  The defense not so much.  Special teams seem to be as ugh as ever.  (Think Oregon, App St for pre-RR examples) Also remember our Heisman trophy candidate QB didn't get booted from another school for laptop theft, none of our starting DBs has spent time in jail during the season, and our best special teams player was left home for violating team rules for the biggest game of the year. My point here is there has been improvement from this team in 3 years.  You want better?  So does everyone.  Would another coach get Michigan there?  Maybe.  Does acting like children, using crazy statistics, calling everyone out on the carpet for disagreeing with you make a difference?  No.
2 years 25 weeks ago	I may be wrong	Hasn't this become DB "company line" for all decisions in all Michigan sports?
2 years 25 weeks ago	Isn't this....	....possibly the perfect arguement for keeping RR around.  Underclassmen getting valuable experience against good competition can only bode well if you believe they are being coached correctly.
2 years 25 weeks ago	Also	7-5 when you have a seasoned QB, expectation of 10 wins, and a team ready to make a splash that stops playing for each other is much worse. 7-5 when you have a first year starting QB, expectations of 7 wins, and a team playing together with no where to go but up.  I'll take it.
2 years 25 weeks ago	Nice	And then get blown out by 30 on the road @ Iowa. At least stone age rules and a corrupt system won't keep us out of the Rose Bowl.   /s *knocks on wood
2 years 25 weeks ago	Hopefully	This is your last night as a Michigan fan.  If you want RR fired right here and right now you simply haven't taken the time to see two things: 1. A coaching change will simply extend the mediocrity at minimum 2 more years. 2. All RR has done is improved the team each year since the first. Seriously we all see the defense is atrocious.  Does no one think RR won't do something to make it better.   What would make you happy with every Michigan season? 12-0 every year? 9-3? 8-4? Obviously not 7-5.
