No joke. Bunch of whiny bastards. Must all be new fans. This is normal for us in early season.
September 8th, 2012 at 5:39 PM ^
We're only beating Air Force by 4, and it could be one if they had made the field goal. Maybe your expectations have been sufficiently lowered during the Rich Rod fiasco, but I expect Michigan teams to actually play well against a service academy. This is Michigan, not some bottom dweller. We shouldn't be settling for a narrow win against a bunch of high school sized players. Especially after last week's embarassment.

Our offense is moving the ball at will, as it probably should be against this defense. Our defense is certainly not calming any concerns from last week, but it is a defense designed to line up against pro sets and zone read options. I am not sure how much struggling against this team tells us going forward.
September 8th, 2012 at 5:33 PM ^
...but I think this shows that's it's not X's and O's, but rather Jimmys and Joes.
We just don't have the talent like we did last year. There isn't a whole lot our coaches can do.
Thankfully, we are getting a crop of studs coming in. Hoke may not be the greatest coach, but he can bring in the talent, and this is worth his weight in gold (and thankfully, he is not a small person)
September 8th, 2012 at 5:33 PM ^
Uggggh!! We are a 7-5 team at best....our D is getting run through more than Craig James dead hooker!!
September 8th, 2012 at 5:33 PM ^
Our D is undisciplined. We take ourselves out of plays. Also our D Line needs to penetrate to bust up some plays early. Just not there yet.
September 8th, 2012 at 5:34 PM ^
Did we practice defending the option? Nobody gets to the outside for the pitch!!!!
September 8th, 2012 at 5:35 PM ^
This is 2008 all over again. PATHETIC.
September 8th, 2012 at 5:36 PM ^
Seriously? Did you watch 2008? This is nothing like 2008.
September 8th, 2012 at 5:36 PM ^
Michigan had many returning starters, a second year under Mattison and they look 100% worse than last year. They simply can't get off blocks
September 8th, 2012 at 5:36 PM ^
Relying way way too much on running Denard...
September 8th, 2012 at 5:37 PM ^
Blocking from the OLine has been much better in the 2nd half so far, although we still haven't seen any Toussaint runs.
(Yes, I'm basing this on 4 plays)
September 8th, 2012 at 5:37 PM ^
Good throw there and good job Jerald.
September 8th, 2012 at 5:38 PM ^
FUNCHESS U DA MAN
September 8th, 2012 at 5:38 PM ^
is gonna be a star.
September 8th, 2012 at 5:38 PM ^
Finches is #1 in my book right now. Damn.
September 8th, 2012 at 5:44 PM ^
Is that the guy from American Pie?
September 8th, 2012 at 5:38 PM ^
I know he hasn't gotten much traction, but it's like we've abandoned him this game.
September 8th, 2012 at 5:39 PM ^
Nice job Denard, nice job Devin!
September 8th, 2012 at 5:40 PM ^
How many stars did Funchess have as a recruit?
September 8th, 2012 at 5:41 PM ^
3* to Rivals.
September 8th, 2012 at 5:40 PM ^
Gardner is looking much better this week. His routes look pretty good.
September 8th, 2012 at 5:43 PM ^
That was a horrible route. But nice TD catch.
September 8th, 2012 at 5:40 PM ^
Devin and Devin???
September 8th, 2012 at 5:42 PM ^
These two could be a pretty damn lethal 1-2 punch methinks.
September 8th, 2012 at 5:43 PM ^
Need to get a stop here.
September 8th, 2012 at 5:43 PM ^
predictions about weak D line appear to be very accurate. BWC invisible except for 2 holding penalties
September 8th, 2012 at 5:43 PM ^
would it be possible for the D to make a stop now?
September 8th, 2012 at 5:44 PM ^
He looks a step late on every play.
September 8th, 2012 at 5:44 PM ^
Get off the field D!
September 8th, 2012 at 5:45 PM ^
Seriously..
September 8th, 2012 at 5:45 PM ^
Weren't we favored by 21.5 going into this? Unless we can get a couple stops we aren't going to come anywhere near that.
September 8th, 2012 at 5:47 PM ^
No kidding. Am I only one that feels like I'm watching a game from the RR era?! C'mon defense.
September 8th, 2012 at 5:49 PM ^
No you're not. That's been said plenty of times as you can imagine.
September 8th, 2012 at 5:47 PM ^
Our pass coverage has been spot on today, even more so when you recognize what a strong passing team Air Force is. And we're outgaining them by a mile. And our defensive line is manhandling their offensive line, even though those guys they have on the line are gigantic.

September 8th, 2012 at 5:47 PM ^
Herm you slay me
September 8th, 2012 at 5:46 PM ^
We couldn't stop afa if we tried.... Oh wait we are trying
September 8th, 2012 at 5:46 PM ^
How the hell is AF pushing us back...
September 8th, 2012 at 5:46 PM ^
D will get off the field quickly. Unfortunately after giving up a TD, but they'll be off the field soon.
September 8th, 2012 at 5:48 PM ^
They'll be rested and ready to go!
September 8th, 2012 at 5:47 PM ^
argh i hate shootouts
September 8th, 2012 at 5:47 PM ^
This feels like watching a game with RR coaching. All offense, no defense.
September 8th, 2012 at 5:48 PM ^
Read the comments. That's been said 30x now.
September 8th, 2012 at 5:55 PM ^
Yeah, thx smartass, just signed in. Watch the game and don/t worry about the repetative comments. Who's gonna read 316 posts to see what's been said to avoid repetition anyway? Well, you will apparently
September 8th, 2012 at 5:47 PM ^
They need to flag Calhoun he's been out at fucking mid field three times now
September 8th, 2012 at 5:47 PM ^
How many times is the AF coach going to scratch his nuts?
September 8th, 2012 at 6:01 PM ^
My wife asked that too.
