Michigan's opponents so far…

Michigan's opponents so far are 6-5 FYI (Illinois 3-1, Nebraska 2-2, Iowa 1-2)

Would love a simple…

Would love a simple explanation of the Corsi scores and how to use them. I tried Wikipedia but found myself getting lost on how to apply to the review here

I believe the point was Ross…

I believe the point was Ross still gets the majority of those jobs. But as the season is progressing Hill-Green is slowly getting more of them as he continues to be mistake free. Something like Ross 100% game one, 90% game two, 80% game three, etc.

This post or something…

This post or something similar to it should remain stickied at the top, in a diary, or somewhere. Make it clear to all who come here this isn't just going to get swept under the rug and forgotten.

This game reminded me of the last couple of second halves. We don't look great but when we call an interesting play we get huge yardage. I'm not too concerned

Probably better than Gardner's last year, definitely worse than Denard

We averaged 6 yards per carry

We averaged 6 yards per carry for 250 total. That's pretty solid

i realize there are a lot of issues with Rudock and this game wasn't that good. But. He is at 65% for the season...Gardner was at 61%...and Morris has been awful in his chances. Like it or not Rudock is our best bet and he is average.

are we seriously hitting on

I might be interested in buying 2 of those depending on seat location and what I find for what's reasonable ticket prices (I have no clue what they're supposed to cost haha). You can email me at [email protected]

 

Thanks!

Not trolling at all...I've loved Michigan Football my whole life and have only been able to attend a few games since I've lived on the west side of the state. But now I'm graduating and getting a job so I can afford tickets

People I work with are saying

People I work with are saying that the Michigan vs Michigan state game shows that state is the best team in the country when healthy...

Excuse me??? No better than

Excuse me??? No better than decent defense! We're 27th in the effing nation on points against per game. And that has been with a metric shit-ton of turnovers leading directly to points. Now, even without those we aren't what I'd call elite (a la MSU), but come on. It's a far cry better than decent.

When Gardner had thrown a

When Gardner had thrown a pick in every game started at quarterback is when...

5 touchdowns on 8 possesions

5 touchdowns on 8 possesions with no turnovers. Take that rate on an average game and number of possesions (which is what, 12 possesions?) and you get 7.5 touchdowns a game....seems pretty damn good to me. Yes it was sloppy, but I'll take it.

Seriously guys?? Calm the eff

Seriously guys?? Calm the eff down. This was a very good defensive performance. They had one good drive with 75 of their yards (and most of their 3rd down conversions). Outside of that they had 206 yards on 9 possesions with two turnovers and two field goals. I'll take that kind of performance any day; one bad defensive possesion a game is good with me.

 

Yeah the defense played bend not break, but that was the gameplan. Looked like Hoke wanted a slow game (see no passes for Gardner in the first) so that the team would remain settled. 

 

For those of you complaining about Countess...REALLY? He has 4 picks this year and got beat on one play (which they didn't even convert). Any other catches in his area are usually by play-calling and he makes the tackle dang near immediately. He has been fantastic.

 

Have some faith in this defensive coaching staff and how they call the game. It worked. Mattison is a top defensive coordinator in the nation and turned the worst Michigan defensive in history into a top 20 defense in the nation in one year. 

 

What's the difference between

What's the difference between SDE and WDE? From what I've read and heard it seems people aren't too excited about Heitzman at SDE but thinks we have three solid at WDE (Clark, Ojemudia, Tacopants). Why can't we just swing one of those three over to SDE?

So are we just forgetting about Dileo here???? He's our second best receiver

Double post...first one!

If you're going the advanced

If you're going the advanced metrics, he was an above average player (above 16 PER). Knight meanwhile had around a 12 PER which is far from average. Also, he provides an ACTUAL POINT GUARD. Knight was not a point guard and we had no one else to fill that role. Now we have him as a starter, KCP at shooting guard and some backups like Billups for leadership

He's an upgrade over Knight,

He's an upgrade over Knight, that's for sure. We needed a starting point guard and that's what we got with him. Stop with the comparisons to Villanueva and Gordon...Knight is younger and cheaper than Gordon. Smith is younger and better than villanueva

Woah woah woah...are you

Woah woah woah...are you telling me Stauskas is more than just a shooter!?

For all wondering, the reference is from Tom VanHaaren saying that Winovich said he will "possibly make his decision tomorrow"...he later said that he has heard good things for Michigan

"Technically" he isn't saying

"Technically" he isn't saying they won 3 BCS titles...although he heavily implies as much...just plain sad IMO

I don't watch hockey often, but it feels like this game is slow to me. Could that just be because the crowd isn't into the game AT ALL and i'm used to a more rowdy wings crowd when they are at home?

Awesome for the team! Now

Awesome for the team! Now lets see what happens with McDowell and Hand

Agreed. Put Burke at the 1

Agreed. Put Burke at the 1 and a rotation of Knight and Stuckey at the 2 (lets face it, neither of them are point guards no matter what they say). Who cares about the 3 and then Drummond and Monroe at the 4 and 5.

Burke could run the offense but Knight and Stuckey would provide a very good handler/distributer at the shooting guard position. I think that would work great with our two bigs

Their point is he may be the

Their point is he may be the 30th best player, but given the system/team/coach he is joining, he will PERFORM better than some people ahead of him
