Yeah but they only get one blitz per a set of downs |

If they could, they would, but they don't know how. |

This was one of the few games I actually got to go to as a young lad, and I just happened to be in row 30 or so in the South endzone. I will never forget heading toward the exit, with everyone else still stuck in their seats with their mouths wide open. Sigh. |
| 2 years 28 weeks ago | See?? |
Take THAT, all the naysayers who say there has been an "erosion of Christmas values" since RR arrived. |
| 2 years 28 weeks ago | Yes!! |

It certainly isn't something that you just dump something on. |

When is Brian going to start picture paging things Michigan does right? I can't take any more of these detailed analyses on why Michigan can't stop anything ... I need something positive once in a while. |
| 2 years 31 weeks ago | Fantastic |
Although I love this, here's to hoping we never ever have to hear about BB again |

Chi's Chi's has been closed for 6 years after a Hepatitis A outbreak at one of its restaurants. If I were Baltimore Sports Report, I'd stick with Olive Garden. Maybe not though ... I really hate those commercials. |

It wouldn't surprise me if a State fan did that to their own car |

Nothing helps me more than Brian's 'This Week In Schadenfreude" No matter how bad it usually seems, someone else almost (emphasis on almost) always has it worse. |

Michigan went from a 22% chance of getting 11 wins to like, 1 1/2 %? Ugh. Not that I ever thought it was possible anyway, but what a grim shift ... |
| 2 years 32 weeks ago | It used to |
He wasn't on the field for the end of the 2001 game then. I've never heard anything so loud. Spartans have a limited skill set, but they can definitely scream. |
| 2 years 32 weeks ago | Came here to say the same thing |
I was in the band ~10 years ago, and ND was the only place we ever travelled to that actually clapped for us on the way out. Not one or two people here and there; just about everyone from the stadium all the way to the busses. Usually I was just happy not to get beer thrown on me at away games; getting applause was just surreal. |
| 2 years 32 weeks ago | Yeah but |
That's because UofM fans have more money than State fans |
| 2 years 32 weeks ago | I wish I had more |
This isn't as much as it sounds. During this time, only 3 times was a loss predicted, and Michigan won ... not exactly a reliable data set. |
| 2 years 32 weeks ago | This is immediately what I thought of |
|
| 2 years 32 weeks ago | Duh |
You mean back to the past. I don't think Future Denard will bother coming back in time to watch the game - he can just check it out on TiVo. |
| 2 years 32 weeks ago | Neither |
In the 6 years leading up to that article (98-03), Michigan lost twice. In the 6 years since, they've lost 3 times, including 2 years when they lost to everyone. I'm pretty sure this article had nothing to do with it. |
| 2 years 32 weeks ago | D-line |
Granted the O-line is more or less the same, but the Big 10's D-line IS 10 lbs bigger than the other conferences. Given the large sampling size you have here, I consider that to be a huge difference. |
| 2 years 32 weeks ago | What?? |
According to your numbers, the Big 10 has the largest D-Line and 2nd largest O-Line. How does this not confirm that the Big 10 is bigger than most conferences? What were expecting, the numbers to be 20% higher than everywhere else? |
| 2 years 33 weeks ago | Huh |
Penn State has been around for 17 years, and only won 3? They aren't on a much better track than State, and I would consider them elite-ish. Interesting. I guess Michigan did have their number for most of those years ... |
| 2 years 33 weeks ago | Mistakes |
I think one of the commentators said it best during the game: one interesting advantage Michigan has in its quick-strike attack is it limits the chances for mistakes. When Indiana marches down the field a few yards at a time, it eats up the clock and wears down the D, but every snap is another chance for a turnover. Granted, Michigan's defense has limited capability to capitalize on any mistakes, but they are definitely getting more "at bats" than the other team. I think this might be one reason why Michigan finally isn't losing the turnover battle this year. |

Except if the kid's way is "I choose the University of ... Ohio State". Then you can tell the kid to grow up. |
