13 weeks 14 hours ago	I'm in total "I'll believe it	I'm in total "I'll believe it when I see it" mode.  I've seen far too many rosy pre season predictions for Michigan football over the last 10 years that have come to nothing.
15 weeks 4 days ago	I just don't share the same	I just don't share the same optimisim that many people here seem to have.  It seemed like everytime we came up against even a marginally competent run D this year, it was a slog.  The offense couldn't stay on the field and the defense got worn out.  I hope I'm wrong, but I think this is going to be a low scoring game that could easily go either way.
17 weeks 4 days ago	Star Wars	I'm a casual Star Wars fan and I left the movie a bit disappointed. It all seemed a bit forced, especially the parts with Luke, no pun intended. I’m not sure if Mark Hamill’s heart just wasn’t in it, or if it was bad writing or what, but something was definitely off IMHO. It seemed like the story was burdened by having to pay homage to the original trilogy over and over, i.e. the cringe worthy CGI Yoda scene. Hopefully now that Luke and Han are gone the series can move on. I thought Rouge One was an excellent example of the sort of story telling that can be created from the Star Wars universe without getting bogged down by past events, story lines, and characters.

20 weeks 5 days ago	*shrug*	Looking back on it, it kinda feels like that late hit penalty on Crable in the 2006 game was the moment Michigan's national relevance evaporated. Not much has gone right for this team since then.
21 weeks 6 days ago	33-10 Wisconsin	33-10 Wisconsin
23 weeks 4 days ago	Win out?	Easy turbo.  We got curb stomped by the one ligitimately good team we played so far this year.  I'd say simply not embarrassing ourselves against Wisconsin and OSU along with showing some improvment out of the O-Line/QB would be a big win.  Bonus points for a bowl victory.
24 weeks 6 days ago	We win because we are less bad than they are.....	16-7
25 weeks 5 days ago	Anyone who watched Michigan's	Anyone who watched Michigan's preceeding games with any shred of objectivity could see this coming.  I feel like I'm watching the same shitty movie i've seen so many times since 2007.  Michigan shows obvious signs of problems, but somehow comes into mid October 5-1 or 6-0 and people just drink the kool-aid.  The first decent conference opponent we run into, we shit the bed and it's all down hill from there.  I thought we got off the ride with JH, but here we go again.
25 weeks 5 days ago	Sigh	It's not like I expected JH to never loose, but damn, this felt like a RR loss.  Completely out classed and outcoached in every possible way.  Sometimes I miss the 8-4 Carr years.  We lost, but outside of 2007, we were rarely embarrassed as we were tonight, and probably will be against OSU.  I dunno man, I want inner peace, but something is wrong here, you can see on JH's face.
25 weeks 5 days ago	I'm so scared
25 weeks 5 days ago	31-10 Penn State	I think this gets ugly. Michigan looses the field position battle on 3 and outs, turnovers and special teams miscues. The overworked defense can't defend the short field the offense keeps leaving them and Penn State blows it open in the late 3rd quarter.

1 year 22 weeks ago	Meaningless Game	Mighigan attemped to out Iowa - Iowa today and suceeded magnificently.  At least it happened on a game that turned out not to matter.
1 year 22 weeks ago	Yea, I thought JH was all	Yea, I thought JH was all about the "meritocracy", so its a bit surprising that Smith has seen so much playing time.  Especially with this struggles to hit open holes.
1 year 22 weeks ago	Get the fuck out with that	Get the fuck out with that nonsense.
1 year 22 weeks ago	This sucks, but given what	This sucks, but given what else happened today, its meaningless.  We are still right where we started at 8pm.  If we win out, we go to the playoffs.
1 year 22 weeks ago	Those play calls after the	Those play calls after the last interception were straight out of the Carr/Debord/Hoke/Borges playbook.  I had really hoped I'd seen the end of that ultra conservative bullshit.
1 year 22 weeks ago	This is still dangerous for	This is still dangerous for us if we can't get some yards and kill a bunch of clock.
1 year 22 weeks ago	Makes sense, we are handing	Makes sense, we are handing them the game.
1 year 22 weeks ago	Eh, making bad teams look	Eh, making bad teams look good has been a Michigan tradition since 2008 or so.  Looks like it's dying off with Harbaugh, but like a bad STD, flare ups like tonight will happen.
1 year 22 weeks ago	Clemson is playing like	Clemson is playing like toasty hot garbage, and at home no less.  Good for them.
1 year 22 weeks ago	I wish I could be as	I wish I could be as confident as some of you are.  I think this is going to be a pretty close game all the way through.
1 year 23 weeks ago	Yea but...	....I love watching him destroy people on kick returns.
1 year 24 weeks ago	The general consensus around	The general consensus around here (backed up by the stats) was that Michigan would completely dominate MSU.  So its understandable why some fans are in such an uproar over the team's performance.  I don't understand why someone can't be happy with the win and also look critically at how the team played.  Terms like "fluky" and "iffy" to describe what happened is rose tinted glasses nonsense and even more ridiculous when your 1st team defense is still on the field.  These weren't garbage time points.  They were genuine and somewhat concerning defensive breakdowns especially considering how dominate we were supposed to be.  I'm happy with the win, but it was far from the beatdown most (including myself) thought it would be.

2 years 21 weeks ago	It's nice to see a coach	It's nice to see a coach freak out like Harbaugh did.  I'd have to go back and watch it on DVR, but I'm pretty sure after at least two of those huge freakouts the defense recorded a sack or negative yardage play.  They really seemed to be feeding off of his energy.  So much better than blank stares and golf claps.   OSU's tears of unfathomable sadness taste delicious, but they will bring their A game next week.  Michigan has a legitimate shot, but I'd sure feel better with Glasgow out there plugging run holes.
2 years 21 weeks ago	Hopefully.  That is still a	Hopefully.  That is still a very talented team and I can't see them making the same mistake with Elliott twice, especially after watching the Indiana tape.
