I live in Columbus.. it gets pretty brutal sometimes depending on where you are. The most popular question I get when I wear any kind of Michigan gear is "Don't you know you live in Ohio?" Apparently, I'm only allowed to like Ohio State here. Most people will just joke around about it to me but I do every once in awhile get cussed out, people have even thrown shit at my car. I really really can't wait to get out of this town.. one day.
I couldn't really believe it either. I drive from Columbus and every week I see a good amount of Michigan fans driving up with me but today it seemed I didn't see many UM fans till I hit Michigan.. I knew early on in the day that I was going to be surrounded by OSU fans, it's bad enough I have to live in this damn city and deal with them daily..
We could go 0-12 for 8 years in a row and I would still support this team (please don't let that happen) but it doesn't mean I'm not going to get bummed out when losses like this happen.
I don't want RR fired.. I still like the guy he just needs to figure out what the hell happened to our team from the beginning of the season to now. We're playing like a different team altogether and it's getting pretty hard to watch. I really wasn't worried about losing to ILL today even after they took the lead back from us, but now I'm starting to wonder what other games we can win this year after this loss today. Definitely not looking good, but maybe things will come together for us (preferably right before OSU).
I'm just going to say this and get it out of the way.
It's been harder losing these games this year than it has last year. At least last year I knew we shouldn't have been good, but this year I feel there's not as big of an excuse. This team has started to go downhill and it's a pretty big bummer. I know we're better than this so what the hell? I guess it doesn't help working in C-bus this year where last year I didn't, so going into work on Mondays have been brutal. Hopefully we can get Purdue next week. Just really looking for that bowl bid at this point.
I'm really disappointed with yesterday as well, but at this point I'm really just looking to make it to a bowl game. If we can get it together to win a couple more games that would be great. We're already better than last year but yesterdays game brought back memories of what we used to look like. I'm not too worried though, we shouldn't look that bad for the rest of the year (just hoping anyway).
I like Cincy as well.. Texas really hasn't done anything for me this year to prove they're the number 1 team in the country. I think yesterday was really their first impressive win all year. Bama and Florida haven't done much for me either, but I do like Bama still to be at the top. I would love to see a Bama/Cincy match up for the National Title, but that unfortunately won't happen.
I feel great about this game. I've been ready for this game since the second the Del St game ended. I really think we have this game. I don't doubt that PSU is a good team, but I still think they are a bit overrated. I see UM winning by 10-13 points (that's what I'm wishing for anyway) with a 34-24 victory.
Brady is insane right now. The fact that 5 TD's have never been thrown before in a quarter and Brady did is excellent, but with him doing this in the snow is just fucking crazy. Go Brady Go..
I just got done looking at the BCS rankings and I couldn't believe the Wisconsin ranking. They just lost at home by 10 and lost to OSU by a good amount the week before, am I missing something here? I'm enjoying Cincy at 5, it's nice to see a different Ohio team in the top 5 other than OSU.
I sat in the endzone next to the band in row A and heard them the whole game. Usually I hate listening to the opposing teams band and would prefer listening to our band, but I have to say I really enjoyed listening to Del St yesterday. They were not only entertaining but they really seemed to be having a good time. When they walked past us after the halftime show you could tell they really appreciated the applause they were getting from the crowd. I became a fan of the Del St band yesterday.
I'm in C-bus too, and the atmosphere here for a Michigan fan is great. Everywhere I go people are pissed and I hear the cries of how bad their offense is looking and even though they won't admit it yet, the fear of the rest of the year including the Michigan game. Damn, I love C-bus right now.
I'm absolutely loving this. After I got back in Ohio last night after the Michigan game everyone I talked to seems to be having a buckeye meltdown. Last week, buckeye fans were saying it didn't matter if Pryor struggled because their defense is apparently so damn good that they could win every game for them, but this week it's a different case. I just can't wait to get to work tomorrow in C-bus so I can hear more crying. What a good weekend.
I'm really excited about basketball as well this year. I have always been a football girl before anything, but last year I went to my first ever basketball game for UM/Duke, and damnit I am hooked. I can't wait to catch a couple games again this year.
I'm with most people here and would go with either PSU or Minny.. but if I absolutely had to pick between the two of them, I think I would go with Minny.
If anything I'm feeling better about a win against PSU more than ever since our Iowa loss. I'm not too impressed with Penn State yet, and until they prove me wrong I really just can't see Michigan losing to them.
I'll be there as well and I can't wait to see this game. Especially after barely losing last night to an undefeated Iowa, if anything, I feel we have an excellent shot of taking down Penn State.
Someone posted on here last night that he was suspended for violation of team rules, but I assumed it was a one game suspension. This would be news to me that he could be missing more games. I'm wondering what he did.. even so we were okay without him but it would be nice to still have him as an option in case any kind of inuries occur.
I agree, Michigan will be tough to beat in the upcoming years when our team are no longer full freshmen but full of juniors and seniors. If we look like this now, I have high hopes for our future.. and if not, well it can't be as bad as last year, right?
I hate people that are pissed about being 4-2 after going 3-9 last year. We weren't going to win the National Championship this year, we're still really young. It sucks to lose, yes, but damn calm down. We lost by 2pts to a good Iowa team, we'll be alright.
Hate people who can only win with their team and who don't know how to support their team when they lose.
Graham is an animal. And Zoltan? I feel like I really don't have to say anything, it's Zoltan.
We're alright, tough loss, but considering it's an away game against a ranked big ten opponent, I don't feel horrible about this loss.
Go Blue!
Living in Ohio I see how much everyone hates Michigan and considers us as a rival. Even the teams you don't really think about still put a target on our back.. it's definitely a compliment. People hate us because we are the best and beating us is pretty far and in between.
I've also looked ahead and will be going bowling with the boys this year.. looking ahead as fans is alright. The team will do what they need to take care of D. State and then they can take care of PSU like I think they will.
Yeah, turnovers were brutal tonight. BUT, we just barely lost to a 12th ranked Iowa, at night, on the road. Looking ahead at Penn State in a couple weeks, we should be more comfortable at home and if we can get in control of the ball we should be alright in these big games still to come.
Tonight was a huge bummer, but we'll be alright.
I asked that same question. Sure if we didn't need to hurry I would have been alright with DRob, but when there's not much time left on the clock you have to go with Tate there. Tate is definitely more comfortable throwing the ball in those situations than DRobb, I don't get it at all. I can't believe the turnovers in this game, pretty bad.
There's no reason we shouldn't be able to beat this team right now. Excited to see what we will do with the ball to start the 2nd half. Hopefully we can start hanging on to the ball.
I know that the guy I'm playing in fantasy this week had Bama's D and those 4 INT's kicked my ass.
Bama is looking good though, really good, I don't see how they aren't ahead of Texas in the AP.
At least they didn't get shut out? I guess.
It just always sucks to see a team who we played and barely beat get all hell kicked out of them by a pretty bad team.
I agree.
I watched the whole game up until about 5 minutes ago.. but I really can't do it anymore. It's just too depressing to watch a bad decision making team make an overrated OSU team look good. I'm having a much better time watching Ole Miss lose.
I still stand by Penn State being the biggest frauds in the Big Ten. Yeah, they kicked the shit out of E. Illinois today, but I don't see them looking too powerful against a decent team this year. Kind of unfortunate, I'm hoping for an OSU loss when the Bucks have to travel to Happy Valley.
Yeah it pisses me off, you need to go for the TD there. Now they just wasted all that time and couldn't even get any points on the board. I'm giving up on this game, too many mistakes on Wiscy's part.
Wiscy's turnovers will end up costing them this game if they don't get it together.
I'd much rather start Monday morning in C-bus with an Ohio State loss.
There's definitely certain teams and conferences that can go by name alone. The SEC is tat conference, you can win one game and somehow be a top 10 team.. the same with Oklahoma, even though they are only, what, 2-2 they're still ranked in the top 20? Shenanigans.
Yeah I know what you mean. Last year they had games where they looked like they thought they were the best team in the nation, then they would lose to these horrible teams. I hate teams like that, where they only show up for big games.
