23 weeks 2 days ago You still can see the original

It wasn't actually deleted at the time, just unpublished. It still shows up when I'm logged in, but I don't know if that also applies to users that didn't post in it. Presumably the thread's not a big deal now since the meme's gone official, so here's the link: http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/picture-perfect-denard-celebrates-uconn

I'm glad this has turned into a good thing. I know folks were just having some fun, but some of the responses were harsher than I expected. I still feel a little bad for not trying to reign things in (though I don't know how much difference it would have actually made).

Anyway, my offer for a beer still stands "Lloyd".

That would certainly explain how he seems to show up at every Michigan related event, even when more than one's happening at the same time. Sort of like the agents from The Matrix, maybe.

It would be interesting to see if the NCAA could successfully force a student-athlete to assert their publicity rights and shut down some of these operations.
28 weeks 3 days ago I will add another PI here:

I will add another PI here: the last play of the game. I thought it was clearly interference live and the replay did nothing to change my mind. I believe the announcers were discussing it as well, though I was too sick at that point to really listen to them much.

I'm not trying to pull a Penn State circa 2005 and say anyone was in the bag, just that it's undeniable that the officiating was not good - to Michigan's detriment. There were many self inflicted wounds (4th and 7 argh!), but those three uncalled PIs were killer.

I can only think of one close call that went Michigan's way: the 4th and 1 illegal snap. Live I thought Mike Martin got away with one, but the replay showed that the call was definitely correct (though frankly Martin was lucky someone on the officiating crew caught it because of how subtle it was - it could have easily been missed and he would have given Iowa the free first down at a critical point in the game). The fumble and the Vincent Smith TD run being overturned were clearly correct calls. The Hemingway TD was close enough that it's hard to blame the refs or the replay official (though, for the record, it looked like the ball didn't move and I was hoping it would be an anti MSU v Wisconsin). I thought there were a few missed holding calls, but they went both ways. Those the PI no-calls, along with one or two others that looked like probable defensive holdings but were at the edge of the TV picture and weren't thrown at, are probably the game's biggest storyline for me.

That was pretty clearly (to me, anyway) sarcasm.
30 weeks 2 days ago I believe OverTheTop's fear

I believe OverTheTop's fear is that, going forward, it will be harder to remain successful while maintaining the integrity we all expect from the program. It was in response to mgobluebraelow pointing out that Michigan's record against the SEC is good while Ohio State's is bad.
