I'm not familiar enough with the referee arrangements in college football but perhaps a competent reporter could do some digging around / pull together an investigative piece.
Why are refs beyond reproach? Any potentially nefarious forces (read: money) in play...? Seems to be a recurring or worsening problem over the years.
I'm flying in from Singapore and planning a detour around my entire trip to make it for the Wisconsin game. Not been back for almost a decade now since graduation.
Struggling mightily to find accommodation. Any recommendations by the seasoned folks here who attend games religiously?
Also wondering whether I should purchase tickets via StubHub (any recommended sections / rows)?
Extremely excited to head back to Ann Arbor!
Waiting for midnight here in Singapore to catch the game as well. Tried to catch some shut-eye to get ready for another late night but just too excited for game day to sleep!
Go Blue!
Since I'm at work, am watching GameCast, which is absolutely nerve-wrecking.
At this point in time, I'm expecting "Trey Burke misses layup" then "Trey Burke offensive rebound" and finally "Trey Burke made three point jumper, assisted by (yours truly) Trey Burke (hello it's me again)".
This senior class and team 132 is my all-time favorite Michigan football team. The determination and dedication that they have shown to the university, the winged helmet, and their teammates who stayed... I am actually at a loss of words on how to describe it.
Thank you seniors of team 132. Those who stay will be champions. You have demonstrated that more than any other team in the history of Michigan football. Will miss having you guys around. 2 more games to play in the winged helmet. Continue to do us proud!
To anyone who thought that the acts of violence were unintentional, have a read. MSU won, and game planned well. I don't know how anyone can be proud of thuggery of this level, from coaches down through the entire program.
Play with aggression and passion to win. Not to injury or maim opposing players.
I feel very strongly that it can be successful, but it’s not my defense, it’s the Michigan defense. It’s Ryan Van Bergen’s defense. It’s Mike Martin’s defense. It’s the backers’ defense. It’s the secondary’s defense. That’s how it’ll always be here.
Sent a chill down my spine when I read this. In fact, I got chills down my spine reading every single presser thus far, from the very first presser. Coach Hoke - "This is Michigan."
Good lord I love these coaches and players.
The Team. The Team. The Team.
Go Blue!

Done, thanks for sharing XM.

Cheering the Hoekstra family on - hang in there and keep fighting. Hope better times are round the corner!
It's great to be a Michigan Wolverine! 12 time zones away (it is 530am on Sunday now) and I couldn't be happier that I chose to stay up for this!
Forever, Go Blue!
Amazing win, that was so fun to watch! Go Blue!

Obligatory Fred Jackson quote "It's like an A+, but its more A+-ish."
I heard it was him and Brian Kelly in the final 2 but they had to go with the one with the best scowl.

After seeing this very encouraging article in the Daily, I was really hopeful for a great performance and leader for team 133.

Pity how things have turned out.
All defenses decided to take an off-day at their bowls this year. Lets just play basketball on grass! /s
One of my favorite players who has donned the winged helmet. Congrats! Definitely well-deserved.
Denard for the win. We got this.
BEAT OHIO. GO BLUE!
Coach Hoke mentioned in his Wednesday presser that Beyer is likely out for The Game.
Beat Ohio. Go Blue!
David Molk. Great play on the field, outstanding leadership, and chews out the press. Just have to love the kid.

...to the inaugural American Standard Toilet Bowl.
Requires everyone to show up in shorts - Hoke style. Go Blue!
No one has exemplified that more than the seniors on team 132. Sincere thanks to each and every one of them. Pure class act.
Beat Ohio! Go Blue!
They watched a couple of hours of old school WWF Monday Night Raw (1990s version) and learnt the "crossface chicken wing".
He actually couldn't get enough of it too.

Maybe they misquoted and missed the word "issues" at the end.
