Some great lines in there, as usual. My favorites:

The play-by-play could have been done by Sarah McLachlan.

“Look at these faces. For as little as 49 cents a day you can help give a Spartan hope.”

If this is how Michigan treats its little brother, then this is one messed up family.

Gold from Gerdeman:

Michigan held MSU to 15 yards rushing and 79 yards passing. They had just 51 plays on offense. It wasn’t easy to watch. The play-by-play could have been done by Sarah McLachlan.

Did everyone pick this one up? 

"As we know, games come down to one single yard quite often. Thanks to the tools and technology we have in football today to precisely measure yardage gained, however, controversial decisions were removed from the sport many years ago." 

If it wasn't so funny, I'd be pissed...

Man. When was the last time a sentence like this was typed

The Wolverines are rolling right now while the Buckeyes are reeling. That’s not good math for OSU and something needs to change in the next month if they are going to upset Michigan down the road.

wow. Are we sure this is Michigan Monday ? 

In the famous words of one douchey Dantronio (a bit altered): Where did the snark go?

Also replacing (he couldn't find DPJ TD? ok) with OSU qb throwing a bomb; more like projecting / wishing OSU can make those plays? (I'm reaching here I know)

So many compliments. Where art thou Gerdeman.

The expectations for the defense remain the same as well. Don Brown will still have his unit attacking offenses like the wood-chipper tank with battle ax arms it is.

So excited for the continued dominance of a fully-weaponized Don Brown Michigan defense.

They got neither, however, as Lewerke completed just 5-of-25 passes for 66 yards. He also only gained three yards on two rushing attempts. As a mobile guy, he needed to be much more involved in the MSU box score.

The reports about the health of Lewerke going into this aside, that MSU did not at least try to break him out now and again (other than on the option play which hed to their sole TD) to get a couple quick yards here and there, was something I couldn't believe. I would want Dave Warner gone too, were I in their shoes.

That was a well executed respect for Michigan and disrepek for MSU. Well done. He does take a few jabs at Michigan for "technology helping with accurate placement of the ball", remark from 2007 and if we can handle it. I wouldn't expect any less from a buckeye, but he definitely shows respect. Can't wait for The Game, but I am sure he doesn't :)

O..M..G.. did it PAIN Gerd to write that column!  

clever snark throughout, but almost openly hoping for Devin Bush to be injured, not cool Gerd...

SECfans has a predictive model (had us creaming Wisconsin)  which predicts we win 37-17 If game was played today.

 

I like that
