Hell of a season
I know, the season didnt end up the way we all wanted it to. But we are so much better off now than under Hoke and Rich Rod .
We lost 3 games by a total of 5 points .
Look at the whole season , dont just look at the last part .
Dont complain and cry because we didnt win every game .
I consider this season a success and I hope it is leading to better things .
I hope everyone enjoys the off season for Football and I'll see you all next Fall .
GO BLUE

A healthy Penn State that went on to win the B1G, or a crippled Penn State missing like 10 starters?

I get your point, even somewhat agree with it, but they played and beat the big boys? They were blown out by Michigan, if Michigan isn't a big boy, than neither is Wisconsin. They did beat OSU though, so to the victor goes the spoils.

Very proud of the team and how they never stopped fighting tonight. The lone exception is the inexplicable kickoff coverage at the end. I am not proud of that.
Great team - a few unlucky bounces from playing for a championship.
December 31st, 2016 at 12:21 AM ^
were 5 yards past our receivers?
December 31st, 2016 at 12:46 AM ^
Are you suggesting that all of our losses are on Speight? I sure hope not.

2016 was a tough year, but the future is bright!!

3rd place in the B1G two years in a row is fantastic!
Except, it's not.

** 3rd place in the B1G East**

We lost Jake Butt, Yet the team managed to take the lead 58 minutes into the Orange Bowl against a very good FSU team.
As pointed out by others, we lead in 13 games going into the last minute, yet lost 3 times. Even the last kick return was bizarre but a good return by FSU after a missed tackle. Strange and somewhat unlucky season, but I am impressed with Michigan's grit and tenacity. Was not Speight's or the OL's night at all, but they rallied almost pulled it out.

I was not impressed with them. They should have put us away in the 1st half when we were playing like dogshit.
Francios is Barrett without the running ability. Yuck.

Wrong. This season was a failure. Bottom line. Choke job.

This team was loaded and should have went 11-1 worst case and made the playoffs. I would be ok if they got pounded by Alabama in the playoffs. Losing 3 of the last 4 is inexcusable

In two years, Harbaugh has lost 4 games in the last minute of the game after having the lead. That needs to be discussed. Pathetic effort by special teams and yet another late defensive collapse. It's absurdly predictable at this point.
December 31st, 2016 at 12:31 AM ^
December 31st, 2016 at 12:42 AM ^
Why do you think 4 of our 6 losses under Harbaugh have come in the last minute of the game? Do you think that's normal?
December 31st, 2016 at 12:54 AM ^
Would you rather go back to Hoke where we just lost most of our games? Harbaugh (with Hoke's players) has us winning most of our games and the bulk of his losses have been close. He's still building the program up so those losses don't mean omg we suk, it means we're not quite there yet
December 31st, 2016 at 12:57 AM ^
No, I would not rather have Hoke. What does that have to do with the fact the Harbaugh's teams have consistently collapsed with the lead? This isn't a Michigan thing. This happened at SF and Stanford too.

They produced two 10ish ranked seasons. Less than we hoped for this year, but certainly not an utter failure.
They won't go down as great, but under Harbaugh they did right the ship. We're in a soooo much better place than we were two years ago.

How was this a good year? Michigan lost 3 games, all in the last minute. It was ridiculous. No other team in the country collapsed like they did.
December 31st, 2016 at 12:47 AM ^
Baylor went 0-6 after starting 6-0, that's a pretty big collapse
December 31st, 2016 at 1:52 PM ^
Baylor won their bowl game against a 10-2 team.
He meant in game collapses though.
December 31st, 2016 at 12:28 AM ^
Lost only to good teams
1 and 3 last 4 games
chance Florida makes 1 and 4 last 5 games
Harbaugh no miracle worker coach

He missed some throws, but do you realize how awful most QBs would look under that pressure?
He showed at least that he has the head to operate in that environment. Now about the accuracy...

Just look at what happened to Francois once the UM defense settled down and starting pressuring him. He started off hot with about 150 yds in the first quarter with most of those yards coming on the 92 yd TD and the 40 yd play where Cook smoked McCray. After the UM defense settled in and started to pressure him he crumbled. He finished the game 9 of 27 for 222 yds and an awful pick 6.

Seriously. A lot of posters here apparently didn't see what amounts to a summary of Michigan's late-game woes this year. They were on the 1-$@%^ing yard line, first-and-goal, and they couldn't score.
Elite teams don't have trouble with that.
Our offensive line couldn't get a push this year to save their lifetime earnings.
December 31st, 2016 at 12:30 AM ^
Don't get me wrong. Gutty effort all year by guys like Gedeon, Winovich, Smith but the talent level will rise and our team will too. Just couldn't overcome a talented FSU team and gave up too many big plays
Still 3 losses by 5 points? We can play with anyone and will only get better.
