Y'all are way too crazy about this. I live in Columbus and will get lots of crap and I'm not overreacting. Goodnight. Sad to see mgoblog turn into MLive.
September 21st, 2013 at 9:46 PM ^
Jesus god fucking damned mother fucking Christ what did I do to deserve this
September 21st, 2013 at 9:46 PM ^
Good news is were gonna win TWIS this week.. YEAH!!!!
September 21st, 2013 at 9:46 PM ^
At least the 08 team actually fucking tried and had some heart.
September 21st, 2013 at 9:47 PM ^
I'm not so sure about that.
September 21st, 2013 at 9:52 PM ^
I consider poor Threet and Sheridan semi-Michigan heroes for what they tried to do that year. They sucked it up and beat a good Minnesota team after being eliminated from bowl consideration. They played their hearts out in Happy Valley against the B1G champs. Not saying I have fond memories of that team, but they at least gave effort.
September 21st, 2013 at 9:46 PM ^
I'v not seen too many teams can correct the TO problem within a season.
September 21st, 2013 at 9:46 PM ^
Please sit Gardner, he is crumbling under the pressure!
September 21st, 2013 at 9:46 PM ^
Is Funk going to be around next season? How long have he and Hoke been together?
September 21st, 2013 at 9:48 PM ^
(Dumb question retracted)
September 21st, 2013 at 9:46 PM ^
I still love Chris Wormley covering a RB out of the backfield. NO WAY THAT COULD GO WRONG GUYS
September 21st, 2013 at 9:47 PM ^
Til the pain goes away
September 21st, 2013 at 9:47 PM ^
We are going to get prison raped in the B1G. Michigan must hold the record for the amount of streaks that their opponents have broken on them. Seems like 5 times a game I have to hear about "Well this X shitty team hasn't been able to do such and such for 10 years but they just did it".
September 21st, 2013 at 9:48 PM ^
Notre Dame isn't Big 10 equivalent?
That's dumb
September 21st, 2013 at 9:51 PM ^
Yeaaaaa, what is their B1G equivalent? Indiana? Purdue?
September 21st, 2013 at 9:47 PM ^
Drake Harris, will you be ready to play next fall?
September 21st, 2013 at 9:48 PM ^
because we fucking major balls
September 21st, 2013 at 9:48 PM ^
It didn't work against Akron. It isn't working against UCON. Please try something different. Please show to the Michigan fans that you actually know football and know how to make adjustments at halftime.
September 21st, 2013 at 9:49 PM ^
If you don't know, don't post
September 21st, 2013 at 9:49 PM ^
amen...need to roll gardner out every play like Notre Dame game
September 21st, 2013 at 9:48 PM ^
11-2, and 8-5. Do I have to bring up the 3 years before his arrival? STFU!!!'n
September 21st, 2013 at 9:50 PM ^
I mean, we are playing competitively against Akron and UConn. Both of which were almost unanimous bottom 10 teams in the FBS. The panic is justified because we're going to get stomped by Big Ten teams at this rate
September 21st, 2013 at 9:51 PM ^
On the road?
September 21st, 2013 at 9:48 PM ^
I've never seen a Michigan team so poor on each line.
September 21st, 2013 at 9:57 PM ^
Our OL and DL performance the past game and half (and arguably all season) is worse than anything we put out there in 2008. I've watched every game since 1995, and this is worst OL and DL I've ever seen at Michigan.
September 21st, 2013 at 10:02 PM ^
Which is doubly frustrating because wasn't Hoke a DL coach? I was hopeful after Mattison hire and the way he turned around the defense but the lack of pass rush is still evident.
The interior OL is worse than last year's. Amazing. Team has regressed.
September 21st, 2013 at 9:48 PM ^
Playing at this level, there's not a winnable game left on the schedule. These past two games are by far the worst teams we're going to play all year. I'm not saying I predict we're gonna lose out, because I'd like to believe we'll eventually pull our heads out of our asses. But Minnesota would beat UConn by double digits. Indiana would have had an insurmountable lead on Akron by halftime. We are playing like a bad FCS team. How is this even possible?
September 21st, 2013 at 9:49 PM ^
Yup we're going 3-9
September 21st, 2013 at 9:53 PM ^
If you think we would beat ND if we played them right now the way Gardner is playing you are on crack
September 21st, 2013 at 9:48 PM ^
We suck in ALL FACETS of the game...we must have the worst coaches EVER
September 21st, 2013 at 9:50 PM ^
Actually, our kicking game is quite good, as is run defense ... pass defense though..
September 21st, 2013 at 9:49 PM ^
i'd rather watch miley cyrus twerk than watch this.
i'd rather watch twilight on loop for the next week than watch this.
i'd rather have vegeta beat goku early in dragonball z than watch this.
September 21st, 2013 at 9:49 PM ^
Not anymore
September 21st, 2013 at 9:49 PM ^
Once you're shaken, thats it. He has comeback before but this is going the total wrong direction. The common theme with all our qb picks? Our qb coach. Borges. Time to hire a dedicated guy.
September 21st, 2013 at 9:51 PM ^
I hope we can see the #2 guy, heard he can actually throw the football to the correct player.
September 21st, 2013 at 9:57 PM ^
Borges is a very serious problem. Borges may eventually cost Hoke his dream job.
September 21st, 2013 at 9:50 PM ^
This oline is a fucking crime
September 21st, 2013 at 9:50 PM ^
I'm sure I'll get negged for this, and I know I'm not thinking rationally right now, but still, I don't care.
Fire Darrell Funk. I don't care if the O-Line comes out and improves in the next half. This is a joke, and an embarrassment to Michigan Football when teams like Akron and UConn are completely thrashing your offense and looking like the damn Pittsburgh Steelers. These are the kinds of games that must make Jake Long, Steve Hutchinson and Jon Jansen vomit with rage.
If this is the type of product we're going to see on the field going forward, I really have to question Hoke's ability to coach. He's an amazing recruiter, no doubt, but the problems aren't going away. They're not even getting marginally better. They're getting worse.
Neg me all you want. Call me a shitty fan. I don't care. We're way too talented as a team to get pushed around by these fucking scrubs.
September 21st, 2013 at 9:53 PM ^
Is the root of the problem. For all the 4 stars we loaded up on only Kalis is playing.
September 21st, 2013 at 10:01 PM ^
Regardless, our O-Line should not be so bad as to get pushed around and thrashed by the likes of UConn and Akron. Notre Dame, MSU, OSU, I'd absolutely get getting pushed around by. But these are two of the worst teams in America we've played the past two weeks, and they're completely kicking our asses on the line.
At this point, it's a coaching problem. You can't sit there and tell me with a straight face that UConn is out-talenting us. Fire Darrell Funk. This is an embarrassment.
September 21st, 2013 at 9:55 PM ^
Even last year our o line sucked
September 21st, 2013 at 9:50 PM ^
Glad this game is on national tv
September 21st, 2013 at 9:50 PM ^
Still another half to go. Really surprised with the game so far but it could get better. Maybe.
September 21st, 2013 at 9:50 PM ^
Start coaching!!!!
September 21st, 2013 at 9:55 PM ^
Amen.
September 21st, 2013 at 9:50 PM ^
His game plan is shit. He refuses to run short routes. He is obsessed with running 15 yard routes and out Oline isn't good enough yet.
September 21st, 2013 at 9:50 PM ^
Absolutely no urgency or passion whatsoever. Just pathetic... Not sure if I've been this pissed about a half since RR
September 21st, 2013 at 9:53 PM ^
How about last week? That was the last time I was this upset about this team.
