10 weeks 5 days ago	Where does it rank in heart breaking losses	Of the games that hurt my heart and soul: 1- Weber timeout 2- loss to Duke 2 years ago in the Tournament 3- this freakin Indiana loss Honestly we had it and lost it.. I don't blame the players, they were under too much pressure, it just happens. Lets just hope this happened at the right time, we still have a B10 tourney to try to win and a NCAA tournament out there. I'm hoping this teaches us humility and gives us a push to win both of those. On the bright side, OSU and MSU just lost the B10 championship :). Go Blue..
14 weeks 2 days ago	One comment	So I guess Kenpom was wrong this time.. Glad this ugly stretch is done, time to go back to winning at home and playing the likes of PSU
27 weeks 5 days ago	Thank u	Honestly, I've been trying to look for any video which has the celebration after the last play and couldn't find anything.. Thanks for this Brian
27 weeks 5 days ago	Thanks for comments	Thanks for all the comments, as sarcastic as some are I do deserve it because this was a test.. I will work on a much better piece next time.. Lets beat Iowa and I will start working right after that game.. Thanks for all the comments good and bad..
27 weeks 5 days ago	Thanks for the comment will	Thanks for the comment will work on it.. My mistake on breakup of blogpost.. Will work on things and hopefully have a better one after Iowa..
27 weeks 5 days ago	It's simple!!	Possible but no Probable!! Then again that was the answer on can Michigan Win with 18 seconds to go, down 3 on their own 36 six... Hmmmmm... Possible :)
27 weeks 6 days ago	Wow, took my words	Ace, I congratulate u for translating my thoughts into the most beautiful poetry.. Michigan poetry.. Boy now I understand why I love Michigan football.. Go Blue
29 weeks 5 days ago	Take it easy	Borges is calling crap plays I agree.. But Gardner is more athletic.. Putting gallon in right now as a running QB is better than Bellomy.. It's just cruel to keep an inexperienced QB who obviously cannot handle the pressure in the game right now.. It's WRONG.. Desperate situtuations require desperate measures..
30 weeks 5 days ago	Guilty until proven Innocent	Well, with Gibbons I would agree, I remember he was a hyped up recruit, but everyone clearly remembers he sucked early on, and Brian was right to be skeptical.. Anyone in his right mind would be.. Thank God we were all wrong. Now in the Drew, Denard and Hoke area this is how everyone is about such recruits and hires, Guilty until proven innocent.. We love high ranked recruits, and proven Michigan Men coaches, we are terrified of the unrest and we don't believe in Heart over size ( Mike Hart could be a good example from the past).. Tom Brady was killed by fans who wanted Drew Henson in when I Wasan college and they didn't quite down until he won the bowl game his Junior a year, now they name their kids Tom or Brady because of the dude.. So ya we are a very skeptical group of people.. But who cares today, Michigan just beat MSU in the most hurtful fashion... Without scoring a single touchdown.. Oh how sweet... Go Blue

34 weeks 5 days ago	The bright side	As bad as the offense and offensive play calling was, I am shocked to say that Michigan was definitely the better team on the field.. We had equivalent defences but our offense was much better.. Now turnovers are not precalculated In my book rather a stupid act.. We just had some players and calls that were willing to do it 6 times. Honestly I would never diss shoelace, but for one I would agree with his comments, this was his worst game ever and if anything, him and Borges should take the weight of this loss. They had some good calls, but having linebackers intercept him 3 times is just over doing it.. The Vincent smith interception was just plain wrong.. And the fumble was inexcusable.. So sorry shoelace, in this game they should've given you a rest right after the 3rd turnover.. Now it is out of respect for all your previous achievements that I say "I respect you" and you have earned the right to lose a couple of games!! So lets credit this game to your account.. Honestly all respect to a stellar Defence who was shockingly great.. A super O-Line who gave us some holes and some good team effort.. Again Michigan was the better team on the field but it was not meant to be.. Go Ble

34 weeks 6 days ago	Thanks	Thanks or all the recommendations, they really help.. Let's hope at least one works tonight.. Thanks again and go blue

37 weeks 4 days ago	Alabama and our strategy	To be honest, Alabama players were big, fast, better, more well conditioned and they had unbelievable depth. To be honest Dave Brandon (God Bless his Soul) shouldn't have scheduled this game originally. And remember he even scheduled this game at a time Michigan was unranked, so it was supposed to be an even mr lopsided match up. Maybe it helped in recruiting players fom the south, but damn it was bad. Granted if we had miraculously won, this would have been huge, but come on, who are we kidding!? We had absolutely no chanc unless we would've played like a complete underdog and amagined we were App State or Praire A&M and tried to milk the clock on every possession so we might have a chance of mounting a comeback in the 4th with something like 2 scores!!! It was a madman's quest, I believe if we win the B10 this year it is just an indicator of how far the league has to go to catch up with the SEC at this point. Seriously what I saw in this Bama game was an NFL team playing against a college team.. Seriously, their 4th string RB had a higher average per carry than our first.. That is just wrong.. Our depth is miserable.. Any backup on the field couldn't match up to their players, why any great starter ( Robinson and Lewan) couldn't do anything against their backups... God Bless our players and coaches, but 2 years ago we wouldn't beat Toledo, how did we think we could beat Alabama this year, it's a publicty stunt and not a logical game.. Let's hope we win the big ten, go blue...

40 weeks 3 days ago	Excited	Just a Go Blue shout out... Always great to hear good news... I love it
42 weeks 5 days ago	Peter	See when I had a post about the commentator getting his university name wrong on TV I got 500 points knocked off my account :)
42 weeks 5 days ago	Let me explain how seriously they r taking it!!	So, I posted a post yesterday just because I was pissed about a ex-Michigan swimmer whom they said Wasan Florida dude by mistake.. I got 480 points knocked off my account and am at -380 instead of positive 100.. This community is getting too cranky and too serious.. Haven't been reading much in the threads lately and didn't think it would be taken so seriously...not only that but they deleted my entry.. If it cost me that much at least let me see all the swearing that went on behind my back!!! Seriously!!!

42 weeks 5 days ago	How can I	Hey all, so how can I upload it to my game, i've been playing the game for a while but am not too savvy with uploading the roster.. Thx
1 year 24 weeks ago	Alright here goes	So a 10-2 season is probable, considering the home field advantage in most cases is considered a 3 point (advantage). Saying that our offense should be better, we lose mainly Molk, Koger and Hemingway there, but really gain a better Fitz and still have a good OL and have Stonum back and don't forget about a better Denard, Gardner and any freshman coming in to the class (Kyle Kalis included). On defense, the whole secondary is intact (I love Woolfolk, but comeon we've lost him 2 years ago!! Thomas Gordon and Cam should fill in)... The DL is another story, but I am hopeful that Cambell and others should fill in at some point. Defense honestly should be better, we have to take into conisderation that the defense had good numbers this season but really we were all hopeful for 2012, that means they should improve, especially with the contribution of incoming freshmen in 2012 and the maturity of current freshmen like Ryan, the weakness might be the DL, but the DEs and LBs should be better, so lets call it even here. Special teams definitly should be better, matured returners, new contributors, an ok kicker and a solid punter, lets also call it even. My conclusion based on weak evedince is Slightly better offense, no change on defense and ST, and a tougher schedule (Remember OSU should be better and ND too).. So toss ups are OSU, Alabama, Nebraska and ND, lets go 2-2 and those are your losses, 10-2 season and depending on who we lose to we might join Wisconson (If they aquire Crist from ND) in the BTCG (if so it a 50-50 again) so a NewYear Bowl is very probable, a BCS bowl is very possible. For worst possible I would say 8-4 (3 tossup losses and one surprise loss) though Michigan might be overwhelmed by being the favorites in most games (pressure factor) On the other hand, I was taught at Michigan that we should aim for a National Championship every year so my hopeful prediction is thi 13-0 and a National Championship appearance :D GO BLUE AND LETS BEAT VT
1 year 28 weeks ago	How about	How about a list of apps you could have your girlfriend use for the 3 hours of the game.. Angry Birds is one thought :) Never miss watching a game (only exception should be the birth of your own child) :)
1 year 29 weeks ago	I live in Jordan - I watch games online all the time	Ok, here goes if game is playing on ESPN or ABC it will probably be online on ESPN player: http://www.espnplayer.com/espnplayer/ncaa - will cost 14.99 to watch. if game is on BTN then you can watch it on bigtenticket.com and I think it would cost around $20 if you're thinking of doing it for free then a less reliable choice would be something like Justin.tv , I don't recommned this choice, the first 2 are much more reliable with a ok internet connection. If the game is on primetime, then there is a slight possibility that it doesn't play on the first, but that would be solved with watching ESPN at any of the hotels or bars, but that rarely happens and even when its on primetime you usually have it online too an example would be the MSU-UM game where it was on both.. Don't worry, you can watch the game live in Sydney, enjoy..
1 year 31 weeks ago	The Positive side	We expected at least 2 to 3 losses this season, we have one out of the way, it was a 50 / 50 game and we lost, still our defense was not bad and if anything, bad offensive calls and game plan doomed us.. Never have I seen Michigan so apparently misplay offensively for a game more than today.. Still 5 games to go, Michigan has a chance to win all of them if they plan better.. Go Blue..
1 year 32 weeks ago	Fan in Amman	I actually live in Amman, born and raised here, went to school in Ann Arbor, and been a fan ever since.. Always great to see fans around me here :) Go Blue..
1 year 32 weeks ago	I agree	U know what, that is why I left the 9-3 option open, honestly no clue who will win our games every single week, u get a surprise each week.. But u have to admit, Michigan is actually getting better as a team week by week, and they are getting better during games (evident in better second halves than first halves) so let's hope for the best..
1 year 32 weeks ago	Not sure yet, jury not out	Well, I watched the LSU - Florida game yesterday and suddenly realized what type of team we are aspiring to be like (wow, LSU has some monsters everywhere). So I would like to do some backward induction, if we play a big SEC team for the bowl game all I can say is good luck Blue. As for our remaining schedule, MSU and OSU are always toss ups regardless of record, the game tends to bring out the best and worst of both teams, so let's say 1 and 1. Purdue and Iowa could be the softer games, let's take those 2. Illinois looks better than OSU and equal to Nebraska let's say 1 and 1 Illinois and Nebraska. And if We do make it to the Big10 Championshionship, my GOD have mercy on our souls if the Badgers stay as consistent as they are currently.. So 10-2 is still the logical prediction with a really wide open door for 9-3 or 11-1. With a two faced team in Michigan u really don't know wwhich team will show up Any given Saturday.. Although my hopes stay high for a perfect season, I've seen some hints of luck go our way and u never know, some wind there, someone slips here, a fumble or an INT and that could make the biggest difference for our boys.. In all the schedule is softer than some of the other years and I am hopeful.. Let's enjoy the perfect record for now, Go Blue
