Very loud. I was actually surprised at how loud it was. When we ran twice in a row for no gain or a loss after the muffed punt, it was ridiculously loud. I never boo our team, but I found myself booing after that shitshow.
On the boo during the second run, Derrick Green and Gardner both seemed to notice it. Especialyl Green, his head snapped up towards the student section pretty fast. I felt bad for him, but idk anymore...

Disgraceful. All of them. Mattison is terrible as Borges. Nebraska had three back-up linemen, and Michigan still was nullified. Michigan can't get important stops.
I've never been more disgusted by Borges's playcalling. Hoke -- no way. He's not a good head coach.

I first noticed it during the PSU game. The body language of some offensive players seemed to show their disappointment in the plays that were coming in... I noticed it today, too. I don't see urgency in either this coaching staff or the players. That is one of the more disappointing aspects of this season... I want the Brady Hoke from his intro press conference who had fire and determination. Not the one who looks lost and defers to his coordinators. I want coordinators who make adjustments and look to find something that works with current personnel. Not ones who like to hear themselves talk about X’s and O’s.
November 9th, 2013 at 6:58 PM ^
Yes, fire this entire staff, including Mattison. For all his hype, his defense has been soft all season. It won't happen of course, we'll have to endure at least another season of this garbage. However, by then, perhaps even DB will admit he made a huge mistake.

Noticed how much better the pizza got after Dave Brandon left Dominos?
Fire Dave Brandon! Fire Hoke! Fire Borges!
November 9th, 2013 at 7:08 PM ^
Fire Coach Jackson!

For the purpose of keeping the board at least somewhat manageable, it is, but if you're talking about things and trends which may be more than a little troubling, then I do see your point. The main idea here is to mitigate (it won't work tonight, but this is the idea) the need for people to post their 200 takes on the game. Simple as that.

wrong approach, hoke cant coach, he cant make the correct head coaching decision. Beliene was a good coach else were and had a good resume. Hoke is over his head, what are his credential to coach a program like michigan. He put us back centuries.
November 9th, 2013 at 7:03 PM ^
This team is brutal. BRUTAL to watch. There's no way around this. If you can't blame the coaches, then who do you blame? The preceding regime got three years. This one is on its third year. And I have to tell you, I'm not seeing anything that makes me think we're in a better way here.
I'm looking.... so desparately looking... for the silver lining. And it ain't there.
The emperor is not wearing any clothes. And EVERYONE in the Big House tonight knew it. Playes, coaches, fans.

Prior to this game, I was in the "give Borges more time" camp, but now, F that! Fire Borges! There were so many predictable and pathetic play calls. He sucks. He doesn't adjust to his player's strengths/weaknesses.
Guess what Borges, if the young players aren't executing/capable of executing the plays you WANT to call, then figure out what plays they ARE good at running. Call plays to their strengths, not just the standard package plays that you THINK they should be able to run. Our O's production is a joke.

no I am not on board, we need to fire hoke, his philosophy is bad, he cant coach properly, he cant manage a single game without making mistakes himself, let alone the players, but brandon will give him year 4 and we will watch this tir fire and lose more and more recruiting. Fire him now and get hte rebuilding process going, we will take a hit but let us rebuild. we are not going to win anything anytime soon
November 9th, 2013 at 9:16 PM ^
Show me a game where you said "Hoke's coaching won this".
Was RR fired because he wouldn't fire Gibson? He fired Shafer and then forced a mediocre GERG into the 3-3-5 with crappy assistants.
If only Brandon had opened the checkbook for a real DC
I blame RR for staff loyalty in the face of poor reality, and I blame Brandon for not helping him, and seeming to want to start his own AD ego trip.
The checkbook is open now, if Hoke is willing to make changes then give him year # 4.
November 9th, 2013 at 7:04 PM ^
On the sidelines without a jacket.
On the other hand, his coaching resembles idiocy.
November 9th, 2013 at 7:31 PM ^
Hoke is

Couldn't believe we were that unprepared for a gutted Nebraska team! I found myself agreeing with Chris Spielman almost the whole game. That made me sick. Heard where Auburn only passed 10 times today. We shouldn't have tried to run 10 times today.
November 9th, 2013 at 7:13 PM ^
Weeellll, we had really good practices this week....the kids competed hard in practice. Remember, year one when Hoke and Mattison kept saying the players are starting to get what it means to play at Michigan? Is this what it means? If so this sucks!
November 9th, 2013 at 7:06 PM ^
It's time to panic. Fire Funk tonight. Put a grad assistant there. Then get a better guy next season.
November 9th, 2013 at 7:06 PM ^
November 9th, 2013 at 7:07 PM ^
This is the product of a 47 and 50 head coaching hire coupled with a Dinardo offensive coordinator. Also appears Mattison is getting a look at all the freshman with Taco, Stribling, Thomas and Lewis seeing meaningful minutes.

Even after last week, I was sure Michigan would struggle to 8 or 9 wins and the coaches would get another year no matter what we thought. Now, with a negative rushing game at home against a middling Nebraska D? With players that look like they are going through the motions? With the crowd booing our team? With no clear wins left?
Hoke must make staff changes at the end of this year or ride and die with them next.
November 9th, 2013 at 7:22 PM ^
Shockingly, I doubt changes will be made and we actually will be a better team by getting having better chemistry. Team chemistry is so important and this team has zero! Wow! This team is pressing and impotent.
November 9th, 2013 at 7:09 PM ^
November 9th, 2013 at 7:10 PM ^
Chris Spielman is describing this as "unrecognizable" as Michigan football.
Bo Pelini, when asked post game what he told Brady Hoke, said "That's between me and him." (paraphrasing).
Everyone sees it. Everyone knows. There's nothing here. No substance. What happens to cotton candy when you put it in water? It disappears.
November 9th, 2013 at 7:10 PM ^
That's our offense. Some idiot in the officer corps blows a whistle, and the poor damn foot soldiers get sent out of the trenches, running in a straight line to be gunned down en masse without a hope in the world. They lost confidence in their leadership. So has this team.
And I don't blame them a bit. They're talented players and good young men, and they deserve better.
