Ill ask it again. Not sure why the previous post was deleted. 

Where does Michigan go for our bowl game

Rose Bowl , or does Ohio State get that too ?

What are our options since its not going to be the playoff ?

NY6 Bowl for sure. 

In the bigger picture, we'll be okay. We will always struggled to compete with OSU when they can combine a top 5 all time coach, annual top 3 recruiting classes, and an unhealthy obsession in their entire culture to beat us at all costs. We'll keep churning out 9-10 win seasons but not sure we'll ever be more absent recruiting and developing a generational talent at QB.

I don’t think people realize how big that game was. We just shit the bed and lost all credibility as a “Good Team” we lost the BIG10, The Game, The Playoff, The Rose Bowl and all respect that we worked so hard to regain. And I’m sure we lost 2-3 recruits as well.

Dont be surprised if the rumors start again about Harbaugh leaving. I personally think he will be leaving sooner then later.

Nothing to look forward to. I said it before and I will say it again: Michigan won’t beat OSU as long as Urban Liar is the coach.

This blog is unfuckingbelievable.  Most of the past few weeks were spent jerking ourselves off over where Michigan belongs in the fucking playoff.  All that matters is winning, and most of the lurkers here were mailing in a win over Ohio State.  Fucking stupid.  Neg me. It hardly matters.

Basketball. A top ten team led by one of the best coaches in the game with legit championship aspirations, with the opportunity for a statement win at home against a top ten UNC team. A team that has a lot of hardware and big time wins against great teams and rivals. 

As for football, maybe Meyer retires sometime in the next five years? Beyond that I don’t know. This team was stockpiled with talent  all over the field and they got absolutely jailsexed by an OSU team that looked awful all year. This was Harbaugh’s best chance to change the narrative of his tenure with this rivalry. It’s likely now that Michigan will never win this game as long as Meyer leads OSU. Hard to not feel like this was a wasted opportunity. This is who we are for as long as Meyer is around, and depending on who they hire after him, maybe well beyond that.

Yeah when it isn't the offense it's the defense. It's always fucking something. Harbaugh needs a QB, Harbaugh needs a defense. harbaugh needs an OL. Wait until Warriner gets the guys where they need to be. Harbaugh needs DL depth. Harbaugh needs this. Harbaugh needs that. He needs to fucking beat OSU is what he needs to fucking do and I think he just got his last chance. Even if he's still here next year it's not going to get any easier than it just should have been. This entire prgram and it's fucking moral high ground. Champions of morality. Woo.

Defense was awful. Nobody can deny it. However, Don Brown and this D has carried this team the last 3 years. You watch college & pro ball right now? The new rules are all about passing yards and getting guys in space. We don’t adapt to the new wave of football. Even Saban has evolved. Need to stay current with the rules. Fewer offensive line holding calls & more PI’s on DB’s. Yes, DB needs to look in mirror and figure it out. But, name one game in last few years the O won? D can’t hold every team in this era under 30 every game.

Both of them were the problem (and throw in special teams, with that blocked punt TD debacle). We looked completely unprepared and flat-footed on both sides of the ball. 

I'm honestly more shocked than disappointed. It would be one thing if this was a repeat of 2016, but we just watched an absolute shellacking. I don't think the score reflects how thoroughly OSU dominated us. How could we have shit the bed so badly in the biggest game of the season after having dominated the past ten games?

We need to leave the big 10 and go independent like Notre Dame for football. We will never beat them. The rest of the big ten needs to do the same. Osu will always win the conference.

Oh god I hope Ohio State goes to the Rose Bowl...I don’t care what bowl game UM goes to...pretty sure I won’t be watching because honestly, who cares if they win that game?  The same crappy narratives will be spewed all off season and through 2019 until UM wins the damn East. 

Yes, I’m frustrated.  I live in Dayton Ohio and am surrounded by asshole buckeye fans as my notifications can attest.  Ohio State did enough today to dissuade anyone hat getting beat by 29 at Purdue was enough to keep them out of the playoff.  Unless Georgia or Auburn beat Bama, OSU is in.  And it sickens me.

Good things keep happening to bad people and I can’t reconcile it with karma or an all powerful God or anything else that would suggest that doing right is rewarded.

Personally, I look forward to the Bible black void of nothingness in a space previously devoted to countless thoughts, and filled with feelings of joy, excitement, optimism and anticipation. The evil Urbsei just turned Ann Arbor into the Sept of Baelor and the names/faces I associated with Michigan football into the Rains of Castermere.

With our luck and OSU’s watch OKlahoma lose next week, OSU goes to playoff and wins the whole damn thing. Then we get to listen to poor old Urban and his team responding to “adversity”. Sometimes sports just feel like a continuous kick in the nuts

I guess I just don’t get upset anymore. Maybe it’s that I’ve matured, or maybe it’s due to these outcomes for so darn long. I tried to convince myself that this year was different, but like the last few years, our defense completely disappears late in the season.
