Josh Metellus Says Revenge For The 2017 Game Is Still Not Over
I'm really looking forward to it. I've been looking forward to it for the past two years.... I'm just really excited to get out there.... Play 7:30, prime time, big stage......
We ain't finished the pay back....That one really stuck. Coz, you know, that could have been a real defining moment in our season. We lost that game. And we went downhill from there.
And so it begins. The cork board material gauntlet has been dropped.
October 16th, 2019 at 9:16 AM ^
I am 100% certain you wouldn’t say that to Metellus’ face. Idiot fans telling college kids to “shut up and play” is fucking ridiculous. What he says has no outcome on the game Saturday whatsoever.
October 16th, 2019 at 11:57 AM ^
Context please, CONTEXT
it is a press conference. He has been asked to speak. He did not say they would win or that the other team is awful.
All he said is that the loss 2 years ago still hurts and provides motivation
October 15th, 2019 at 9:09 PM ^
Oh for fucks sake! It's always the team that talks he most shit that loses said game.
October 15th, 2019 at 10:14 PM ^
Don't know about that but I do know that the team that constantly runs their mouths and can't back it up are laughed at by the rest of the CF world. We're still trying to fix the flat tires on our revenge tour bus in Columbus. Just SHUT UP and play and win a big one for a change. $8 million ought to get us something once in awhile.
October 15th, 2019 at 9:10 PM ^
Never talk smack, especially when you had a C- game against....Illinois just a few days before.
October 15th, 2019 at 9:10 PM ^
What it is bro?
October 15th, 2019 at 9:12 PM ^
Yeah I don't care for all the talking. Especially given that they haven't proved anything yet. Just win.
October 15th, 2019 at 9:12 PM ^
So will we have a 2 decade long revenge tour against OSU for raping us the past 15 years?
So tired of the talk. Just win a fucking big road game please.
October 15th, 2019 at 9:16 PM ^
I don’t mind talk. They are college kids and Michigan has struggled to show emotion at times this year. I’d rather they play with a chip on their shoulder. Just have to back it up.
October 15th, 2019 at 9:18 PM ^
Really? "raping?" You sound like an incel.
October 15th, 2019 at 9:36 PM ^
You butthurt bro?
October 15th, 2019 at 10:59 PM ^
Raping will do that to ya.
October 16th, 2019 at 9:17 AM ^
Guys--its Penn State week--no talking of butts or raping
It is WAY too soon
October 15th, 2019 at 9:16 PM ^
welp, now I’m definitely betting PSU and the points.
October 15th, 2019 at 9:20 PM ^
Stop talking and start walking.
October 15th, 2019 at 9:20 PM ^
Josh Uche yesterday saying "no one touches us if we execute."
Harbaugh needs to teach these guys how to talk to the media.
October 15th, 2019 at 9:25 PM ^
Or execute???
October 15th, 2019 at 9:41 PM ^
But they had a great week in practice.
October 15th, 2019 at 9:49 PM ^
How the hell is Harbaugh gonna do that??? He doesn't know how to talk to the media himself.
October 15th, 2019 at 10:14 PM ^
I'm tired of him hedging all the time. Why doesn't he just come out and talk? Just talk.
October 15th, 2019 at 9:21 PM ^
How do so many people think that Metellus saying this would fire up PSU more than they would be already? It's not as if they're Sparty and they need this win to justify their lives. FFS he can say whatever he wants.
October 15th, 2019 at 9:38 PM ^
I agree. Nothing wrong with Metellus saying this. PSU wasn't sleeping on this game; these comments are not going to make them play harder or faster or with a higher feelingsball per snap ratio or something.
October 15th, 2019 at 11:35 PM ^
Speaking of Sparty, this reminds me of "it's not over, it's never over" Dantonio
I don't recall Dantonio's record when he made his Nixonian grumbles about us. Probably pretty good.
I really think this stuff only means anything in imagined retrospect
October 15th, 2019 at 9:22 PM ^
Confident teams talk with their pads.
October 15th, 2019 at 9:25 PM ^
Fuck it. I’m all in. Let the kids have fun, hope they play hard, hope they come out with a win. I’ll watch, I’ll get frustrated, I’ll drink (I rarely drink anymore), but at the end, I’ll embrace whatever comes.
October 15th, 2019 at 9:52 PM ^
Oh sweet Moses
October 15th, 2019 at 9:27 PM ^
Fuck it - they should talk all the shit they want if that means they won't come out like a deer in the headlights on the road.
October 15th, 2019 at 9:28 PM ^
Metllus, like Higdon, will run his mouth, not show up for big games, and sit out of a 12/28 bowl game.

Hopefully the offense, and particularly Shea, feel the same way. Maybe since Gattis was there he can provide some unique preparation that we lacked when we played there in 2017.
October 15th, 2019 at 10:47 PM ^
Would be nice. Unfortunately I think the more likely result of Gattis's history there is that PSU's defense is more familiar with his tendencies.
October 16th, 2019 at 6:50 AM ^
For whatever reason, probably JH, the preparation thing generally tends to go in the other team's favor.
October 15th, 2019 at 11:23 PM ^
That’s an interesting idea. I can see the meeting: “You’all made the mistake of eating the tapioca pudding in the cafeteria. Every good road team knows you avoid the tapioca because it gives you the runs. We skip the tapioca, we win. Gattis time!”
October 16th, 2019 at 2:38 AM ^
It is known as Preparation G.

Let's hope this team shows it on the field on our return to Happy Valley.
October 15th, 2019 at 9:47 PM ^
Hey, that’s my dad
October 15th, 2019 at 9:32 PM ^
What are they supposed to say? "Well, we just hope to not get our ass kicked like last time there." People that complain about "bulletin board" quotes as though it actually impacts the game are the worst kind of douchebag. This board/site gets worse and worse every week
October 15th, 2019 at 9:43 PM ^
How about - we’re working hard in practice and hope to make the university and the fans proud on Saturday.
October 15th, 2019 at 11:00 PM ^
????????????
October 15th, 2019 at 9:45 PM ^
Thank you! Somebody with a voice of reason.
October 15th, 2019 at 9:34 PM ^
STATEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 15th, 2019 at 9:36 PM ^
These guys need to shut the fuck up. DO MORE! SAY LESS!
October 16th, 2019 at 4:06 AM ^
Does it make you feel good to talk about the players this way?

It's been hard to get excited about anything with Michigan football since..... well, that dud second half against Middle Tennessee.
October 15th, 2019 at 9:43 PM ^
I think you meant that dud 4 quarters against OSU.
