We definitely do not win this game without Charles Matthews. He is so underrated. |

It is going to be heavily pro-Northeastern. |
| 6 weeks 5 days ago | I had a great time. Lots of |
I had a great time. Lots of Michigan folks but a lot were pretty quiet - you know, typical for some Michigan folks. The only downside is I feel like I overpaid on Stub Hub but oh well. I was there very early and I was standing next to the parents of players and it was cool to see their excitement to take in the experience. In a total separate spot, I saw Bill Martin with a scowl. Not sure what that was about. |

Yes, thank you and to J above as well. Looking to add to a very lopsided pro-Michigan crowd tomorrow! |
| 6 weeks 6 days ago | I'm looking to take my kids |
I'm looking to take my kids to the game tomorrow. Anyone know whether we will be visitor side or home side? Is it based on tourney seeding? |
| 24 weeks 5 days ago | This is true. I have been to |
This is true. I have been to D III games in which they play The Victors. Not sure if it’s as the fight song but I have heard it played at games. |
| 25 weeks 5 days ago | Sorry, that’s fuckin bull |
Sorry, that’s fuckin bull shit. I was in town all of those years. There was a lot of debate among folks about who should play. Henson was a local kid and considered an athletic prodigy. His home run stories were legendary by the time he graduated high school and he came to campus with as much fanfare as any recruit. |

Although it makes you wonder that he felt comfortable enough tweeting this... I would think there's a decent chance that this is the shared view among the FSU coaching staff. |

| 1 year 20 weeks ago | I'm with you - I hate |
I'm with you - I hate complaining about refs but that line got crossed in an egregious manner in this game. I am in the minority, however, that the spot itself was unconscionable. I thought it was unfavorable to us but within reason. The holding committed by the OSU o-line and secondary, none of which were ever called (reminder: 6 yards total were called on OSU) are the ones that get to me. And, even though it did not impact the game, the unsportsmanlike that was called on Harbaugh was shocking. You never ever see that for a thrown play sheet. Not even a warning? Just gutless by the refs. |
| 1 year 20 weeks ago | You are correct that we could |
You are correct that we could have won the game despite horrendous officiating but is that an intelligent standard? That is true in 100% of games between two good teams. So, officials always get a pass in those games? Look, for what it's worth, I can't recall looking to officiating as a material influence in the outcome of our games. The calls tend to even out enough. In this game, it affected the outcome. They called 59 yards of penalties on us and 6 yards on OSU, and that doesn't obviously include the non-calls on OSU. Let that sink in. |
| 1 year 20 weeks ago | Put aside the functional |
Put aside the functional value of doing this or that. Harbaugh is getting the backs of seniors, who did not play perfectly but played well enough not to have the refs do such a shitty job and impact the key moments of this game. |
| 1 year 20 weeks ago | I salute you, comrade. |
I salute you, comrade. Anyone traveling to that dump to show our colors is more than just a "fanatic" in my book. You are a supporter and loyalist. I hope to hear you on the McDoom jet sweeps. For those asking above, not sure if Alumni Association has a tailgate today but in my experience they are welcoming to all Michigan supporters but there is a fee for the tailgate, if I recall correctly. |
| 1 year 20 weeks ago | Well, if you are into that |
Well, if you are into that kind of thing, you have to admit the last 24 hours has been a galactic reversal with respect to the top candidate's destination this off season. |

Deep self-loathing and re-examination of existential values/issues OR nirvana. Nothing in between. |
| 1 year 21 weeks ago | Question: in the "sit-out" |
Question: in the "sit-out" year that followed O'Korn's transfer from Houston to Michigan, were there any NCAA restrictions on his involvement with the team (other than prohibition to play in games)? I.e., any restrictions on practicing with the team, traveling to road games, etc.? |

If by an apology "in advance" you were referring to the apology that follows five words later, I would suggest that you forgo issuing any "on time" apologies. |
| 1 year 23 weeks ago | Can we call a spade a spade? |
Can we call a spade a spade? That questionnaire is incredibly obnoxious. It has prima donna written all over it, and I can't imagine the "me first" issues that may come up as soon as we do anything against this mother's wishes. Attitudes can be contagious, and we should focus on recruiting team players over collecting football skills. To be clear, I don't know Aubrey as a person and maybe everything will end up great for everyone. I'm just saying that if this questionnaire is any indication, the early warning signs are there. The whole legalese-sounding mumbo jumbo at the end is just inane. |

To add to my reply, I mean, I chug the Michigan Kool-aid like Nic Cage chugs alcohol in Leaving Las Vegas, but why isn't the analysis here relative? Wouldn't the month to prepare also help Saban just as much? I believe Saban has a pretty good bowl record. #SabanEffect? |

There is a downside to this - you have to play another game following a bruising slugfest with Alabama in the trenches. I don't know which team plays the "softest" that will make the CFP (Washington? Clemson?) but I would rather play that team first then play Alabama. Also better for marketing/recruiting to make it to the championship game. |

Section and row? I'd be willing to pay a good premium plus you will know that you are giving them to rabid Michigan fans. |
| 1 year 24 weeks ago | Re: hotels, are you speaking |
Re: hotels, are you speaking from experience/knowledge or pessimism? I have been trying to plan this w/ my daughter but I (probably naively) figured that the City of Indianapolis could support the game without selling out. |

Good point. That would be an unequivocal indication of Michigan support. Counting by Maize shirts will of course underrepresent the percentage because many of the supporters will inevitably be in Blue/Navy colors. |

He is including his bet in the $400. This was a real line. I offered my co-worker Michigan -2, which was the line pre-season. He did not bite unfortunately. |

| 1 year 25 weeks ago | I understand your point, and |
I understand your point, and I think it is a valid one. The counterpoint is that college should be a time that is used to prepare for your career, and maybe if you are completely inexperienced in playing in the cold, an NFL game (and the less than patient attitude of many NFL teams) may not be the best time to test yourself out. Also, to be technical, it's not just getting drafted by Green Bay and Buffalo that's the problem. There are away games and playoff games as well. Again, I think you have a good point but I don't think the alternative viewpoint is completely without merit either. |

I support this. I would also support a Noon kickoff for the Indiana game so that our team gets another 3.5 hours of rest/prep for The Game. |
| 1 year 26 weeks ago | Please stop repeating |
Please stop repeating D'antoni's quote (yes, a saying derived from the Bible) as if he taught all of us a valuable lesson about life and humility. The truth is that there are better and worse things in life. Starting quarterback is a better position than back up quarterback. President is a better position than vice president. The University of Michigan is better than Michigan State University. The subtext to his quote is that between equals we possessed undeserved pride. By repeating same, the subtext to your post is that balance has been restored and we are now equals again. You settle for too little. Would you take a quote from your little brother and seethe for years to gain enough strength and stature so that one day you can re-use the quote back on him? No. We went through an unprecedented down period. We got knocked down. We stood back up. There is no need to apologize for the natural order of things. Your very username is "UMProud". Be it. /endrant (and semi-tongue in cheek post)
