They won’t like it, but you…

They won’t like it, but you are 100% correct. I was thinking the same thing. It’s almost as if most people didn’t read the entire article. After Reading several posts on this topic, I would say there is a rush to judge the program and University, not the alleged victim.

Drew Henson

Drew Henson. I was a freshman DB out of Detroit, practically an 8th grader since it was a summer 7 on 7. I went to Oak park, Drew was a senior at Brighton. That day I learned the true meaning of D1 haha.

Clearly you didn't read the part where he said "I don't think Beilein should be fired."

If you look at the play live

If you look at the play live there's clearly 11 on the field. You can't see the snapper because he's using two hands snapping between his legs.

Guys please stop with the

Guys please stop with the formalities PLEASE! your killing me. I am not being coy with anything I am saying. forget the numbers, forget who they've played and who they haven't played I don't care. By saying this teams has not looked up to "par" I am merely saying that as a team they have not past the eye test, nor the sniff test. They're offense defense and special teams have not came out and looked good at the same time. In certain games the defense looks good, but the Offense stinks. There are other games where the offense looks great, but then the Defense is bad. 

Dude I don't care how you

Dude I don't care how you word it. You can say the offensive line "players" are worse, or you could say the offensive line as a whole is getting worse. Who cares it is still regression. Now if you want to believe that that has nothing to do with coaching then go ahead, we'll just agree to disagree. Being objective has nothing to do with anything because everything I listed is fact. The O-line does look worse; rather you name them by name or a unit. The D-Line looks worse rather by name or unit, as does defensive tackling. I'm not calling for coach Hokes job, or writing  the  book on this regime that would be ridiculous. This team still has a chance to have a great season. All I am saying is that they have not look up to par as whole team so far. They have issues, and if they don't correct them soon it maybe to late.

Lose next week then come back

Lose next week then come back here and tell me how "every game is important". Get beat by Michigan State and you basically got zero chance at a big ten title. Which by coach Hoke"s standards is a failed season. Save me the whole "pigment of your imagination" BULL! was I imagining 27 rushes for 27 yards? or 5 left guards, 2 centers, and 4 left tackles all before game 6? that happend!

 
I will never understand the

I will never understand the youth argument. When our team fails to live up to expectations its because we're young. When you give examples of teams doing it with the same, if not more young players its "Oh that coach just walked into a better situation". Michigan States young O-Line is getting better, by the way so is their young QB. Ohio has a young Defense that seems to be getting better. Maty Mauk looks good, Penn State has a young Qb (look pretty good against us didn't he?).

 

I don't mean to fight with people about this. I do believe that with a little more time coach Hoke will get this team where it needs to be. I just think this team should be farther along especially the defense. I think this team should be 7-0 right now. I think the biggest reason why they are not 7-0 is because of coaching mistakes. I am not here to troll, I'm here because I am a Michigan fan. I just want to see if other fans are seeing it the way I am. If not just tell me why that's all. I happen to think next week is HUGE for this staff, and this season.

 

How people can blow off the ramifications of next weeks game is beyond me. For all intensive purposes next week is must win. No coach Hoke will not lose his job nor will anyone on his staff; but as far as the season goes next week is a must win.

Sooooooo you make my point by

Sooooooo you make my point by saying this team has regressed, then you act as if its all fine and dandy, as if its OK because every team in America will get worse over time. Yeah unfortunate that doesn't fly its not OK.  I'm sure Hoke would agree with me and say the same thing. So ask yourself, whose expectations lines up more with this coaching staff, mines or yours? you believing that regression is OK, and I believing that it is not. We've seen 5 different left guards, 2 centers, and 4 left tackles. All I've said was that this concerns me, and some how that makes me a bad fan? you tell me to go root for someone else, and that I'm to negative because I'm concerned that a staff could go through a full off season (spring and summer practices) and not know their team couldn't block power?  Maybe you should go root for another team, find one of those little kids soft ball teams where they don't keep score.

It should be explanatory but

It should be explanatory but if you really need me to explain what it means for a team to regress, particularly this team I will. Let me make it simple for you, there are many aspects of this team that look worse in year 3 then they did in year one. Last year at least the O-line made an attempt to block some one, this year they are blocking no one. Last year the Defense did a good job getting off the field on 3rd down, this year they are not. I could go on and on, but do you really want to? are you really pretending that you haven't noticed regression in this team, Coaching has regress, special teams have regress, Fitz looks slower, linebackers aren't as good as they have been. C'mon man are you really doing this. I'm a Michigan fan just like you but be honest with yourself.

 
Bottom line this coaching

Bottom line this coaching staff has had some horrendous moments this year especially. Last week the offense seem to take a step up, maybe they found something with Bosch and Mags. Hopefully they found something with Bosch and Mags lol. I'll be with them win or lose, but  id be lying if I told you wasn't concerned with this coaching staff.

Ohio State is killing Penn

Ohio State is killing Penn State to night with screen passes, oh but I guess those weren't open with we played them. 

 
next week is critical for

next week is critical for this staff the honeymoon is over. Youth had nothing to do with not having e a QB ready when Denard went down in the Nebraska game last year, youth had nothing to do with not having a center ready to play this year, youth had nothing to do with having a full off season of spring and summer practices, and still not knowing your team couldn't block power, youth had ZERO to do with 27 rushes for 27 yards. 

Problem is the team has

Problem is the team has regressed. And I'm not calling for anybody's job, I'm just saying the team has regressed. Not even so much the offense because we all knew they had to adjust to Denarnd's style of play for two years. No excuses for the Defense they've been in the system for 3 years now, and clearly have regressed. That is a problem with he coach.

By the way anybody watching

By the way anybody watching UCLA and Oregon? Out of 22 starters for UCLA 13 are freshman and sophomores. Currently they are going blow for blow with Oregon, just sayin.

 

Do you really believe that

Do you really believe that this team is where you thought they would be before the season started? before they ever played a game this year where you sitting back saying its OK if they're bad because were on this 5 year master plan to getting back? if not then save the whole find another team bit.

 
I don't think he was saying

I don't think he was saying he needs to throw someone under the bus. The problem is, not only does coach Hoke sound  like he doesn't know whats going on, but all to often he looks like it on the sideline; and furthermore, his team has looked like a team with zero answers to many times this year. I don't care if its in house or out, he better find some answers quick because if he drop this game next week it wont be pretty. like it or not all questions are answered on Saturday, everything you need to know. 

 
 
How are you not concerned

How are you not concerned after reading this? He sounds like a coach without a clue whats going on. Really? the D-line has gotten better?? anybody that has watched Michigan with a pulse can see that this entire defense has regressed.

I seriously do not see what

I seriously do not see what is wrong with this.

UConn beat writer hearing... RT : Looking like UConn-Michigan will be an 8 pm game next week. Not for sure on that, however.

TACO!!!!

TACO!!!!

Trust me he did not take a

Trust me he did not take a dive, this team has look like this all year. That QB is terrible and should have been benched a long time ago. I’m not sure what Iowa has on their bench but it has to better than this.

I've noticed this too,

I've noticed this too, they've been doing this for a while now. I agree it is a little weird.

Yes it is true.

Yes this is true.

Jaron Dukes reminds me of

Jaron Dukes reminds me of Darryl Stonum, not the same top end speed, but they look awfully similar on a football field.

I agree with you about

I agree with you about Denard, but 12 int’s speaks for itself homie. I think Denard is playing terrible right now, and if he continues to play this way, it is VERY likely they won’t win another game this season. I’m not criticizing Denard; I’m just calling it like I see it on the field.

Not that what you are saying

Not that what you are saying was posted is not true, but It does remind me of when Rich Rod was fired. Everyone said that JimHarbaugh was a shoe in, and that it was already a done deal. Hindsight that could not have been further from the truth. I’m just saying that rumor was started because Harbaugh was the guy most fans wanted. A lot like Meyer and OSU.

Yeah unless you can name a

Yeah unless you can name a receiver and QB that’s ready to step in and pick up where Cousins and Cunningham left off. Don’t worry I’ll wait… and as the defense goes do you really believe that Worthy is coming back next year because I don’t. All I’m saying is there will be a slight drop off next year at some key positions. They got lucky with Cousins but can they do it again with the next QB. My guess is NO!

I agree with a lot of your

I agree with a lot of your points, but I think a lot of people believe that MSU has never proven they can sustain successes. I think right now MSU, as well as a lot of other programs including Wisconsin, and maybe even Iowa are taking good advantage of a few key programs shooting themselves in the foot (Mich, OSU, ND). I think ND showed that once they get out of their own why, they can’t lose to a team like MSU. I believe in another year or two, the Michigan vs. MSU game will start to resemble the MSU vs. ND game of this year. But right now you’re right, they are on top and we’ve got some catching up to do. Next year they lose a lot of key players on that defense as well as their best two options on offense (Cousins, Cunningham). Let’s see if they can replace some of these guys. My guess is no!

Dude you’re reaching get over

Dude you’re reaching get over it, WE LOST. Coach said it best, we were out physicaled, out played, and out coached; and we did squat about it on the field. We can cry about it for another year until we play State again, or we can get over it and move on. Now I hope to GOD that they are dealing with this internally. I hope that this “turn the other cheek” bit that they are handing the media is just a smoke screen.  Today we are all losers. Now we can be losers for another year until we play State again, or we can put this loss down and move on.

Please stop crying about how dirty MSU was on Saturday. I so at least 4 linemen standing over the pile watching our starting QB get his Neck twisted every witch way, THEY DID NOTHING! So leave it alone PLEASE!!!

 

We are who we are, a group of nice guys. Let’s hope Hoke can change that sooner rather than later. MichiganWILL be back!

 

This actually angers me. Not

This actually angers me. Not that Wish Gholson had committed to Michigan. To me this speaks to how bizarre our last coaching staff really was. I supported them to the end, how do you bring a recruit on campus and not even remember his name?

Yes… Absolutely Devin should

Yes… Absolutely Devin should get a look. It amazes me how people can watch the same BAD QB play week after week, and then come on here and blame the coach’s. Denard is sailing passes 10, 15, even 20 yards over WIDE OPEN receivers heads. I Love the kid but right now his lack of passing is hurting us more than his running ability is helping. I don’t care what kind of offense you run, if you’re QB can’t manage a game, facilitate a game, and not make turnovers (No matter if he runs it 20 times or 2), you will lose against the better teams. We weren’t out schemed today; we were made one dimensional by our signal caller. As always I hope for the best but if we don’t do something different I’m afraid this season will not end well.

I hope I am wrong GoBlue!

Coach Borges is right. This

Coach Borges is right. This staff has to find away to get the running backs more involved in the offense. Coach knows the only way to compete in the Big Ten is to have stability. Without the running backs contributing this staff will end up being a repeat of the last staff, look good against the cupcakes, and sputter against the top dawgs. Denard can’t be the entire offense otherwise we don’t stand a chance in the long run.  

Michigan Basketball Hype Video

Hey check out what I feel is the coolest Michigan Basketball Hype Video to date http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laTDALJlA7k&feature=feedf

Bill Greene is really good

Bill Greene is really good and he usually knows what he is talking about. He was all over the Kyle Kalis switcheroo weeks before most were willing to believe it. All I am saying is Bill Greene is usually right.

 

I see

I see what your saying, I agree I don’t beleive that Hoke will have a problem replacing any position if needed. However I tend to beleive that a 4 star instater has more value to this team then a 4 star recurite from out of state. I learned that from the RR error. We need T Rich to remain a member of this class.

I agree with you 100%

I agree with you 100%, this is something I stress as much as possible, I just think that the whole twitter and facebook thing has gotten so out of control. Just like the internet gives certain people a voice that should not have one; twitter and facebook does the same with certain fans. Theirs a small group of crazies whom twitter and facebook provides an avenue to voice their stupid opinions. I really don’t know what can be done about it, it’s a problem that O$U has had for years and haven’t been able to solve.

T Rich comments

Yeah I read something about this on another thread. T Rich kind of scares me when he makes certain comments. I think he said something along the lines of 

"I thought michigan was my home and where all my support is i aint think yall would downplay me like that otherwise i couldve went elsewhere".

I really hope T Rich decided to go to Michigan because of the school and not the fans. If the fans are why he chose to go to Michigan then maybe he made a mistake. Hopefully someone can talk to him; he is an important member of this class.

I agree

I agree with you I wish people would just leave these recruits alone. These kids need time to grow up, I couldn’t imagine the things that would have came out of my mouth had I been put in front of a microphone like these kids. With that being said, I don’t think people will ever stop tweeting and Facebook messaging these recruits. I think we’re fighting a losing battle. People are just to pationate about their school. I think all we can do is hope these recurites chose Michigan for the school and not the fans.

D Mo never was a sure 1st round pick

I wish D Mo the best but it’s hard to say that he got bad advice because he NEVER was a sure fire 1st rounder. 2nd round draft picks do not have a guaranteed contract. You do not leave college early to get drafted in the 2nd round, sorry guys; but I gotta believe he just wasn’t being smart.

Take a look at the Pistons draft choices the last 20 years and see how many 2nd rounder’s actually made it

Sounds good to me.

Sounds good to me.

Stacey, Ringer & Bolden Visiting This Weekend For BBQ -

Yeah that makes sense, I didn’t know that Magnuson told Tom beforehand at he would commit. Your right, that changes everything. Well here is to hoping for a good weekend.  

Per Caleb Stacey twitter -

@cstacey71 @KRingoUM1 talked to @JBolden_007 were in there for the bbq at the big house haha (posted today)

Stacey also responded to a tweeter and said they will definitely be doing some recruiting.

Let’s hope these guys are the difference this weekend.
