I had two cokes during this game. I'll expect my free tickets in the mail...
September 16th, 2017 at 3:29 PM ^
Let it go.
The offense is ass. Had nothing to do with playing a service academy.
September 16th, 2017 at 3:41 PM ^
Well he (Dave Brandon) did schedule the game...so yes, he had a lot to do with playing a service academy. In fact, he literally had more to do with playing a service academy than ANYONE in Michigan Stadium.
September 16th, 2017 at 4:10 PM ^
But he had NOTHING to do with HOW we played.
So, yes, I'm for not scheduling ANY plucky upstarts with everything to gain & nothing to lose, service academy or otherwise!
Play P5 teams only with a MAC mixed in every 3rd year for geographic solidarity.
September 16th, 2017 at 4:43 PM ^
I didn't say he did. That's not the role of an athletics director.
feanor literally said "Had nothing to do with playing a service academy." Hence my response.
September 16th, 2017 at 5:02 PM ^
He said the offense was bad, which was why it was close, and that had nothing to do with playing a triple-option service academy.
September 16th, 2017 at 7:42 PM ^
The blocking scheme alone is enough to stay away.
September 16th, 2017 at 3:30 PM ^
You don't schedule Army, Navy, Or Air Force....ever.
Find a different way to honor our troops. Having to watch the triple option is not fun.
September 16th, 2017 at 3:39 PM ^
Except those used to be penciled in wins for Norte dame every year. We all bitched that they scheduled easy games every year by doing this.

And the result was never really in doubt. It was just frustrating, didn't prepare us for anything we'll see the rest of the year, and wasted valuable practice time.
The games are stressful and don't help you in any way because you don't get credit, risk more injuries, etc. etc.
September 16th, 2017 at 3:51 PM ^
exactly this
September 16th, 2017 at 3:57 PM ^
precisely that
September 16th, 2017 at 8:30 PM ^
Precisely the other
September 16th, 2017 at 4:13 PM ^
I told my wife the same thing this morning, Cincinnati helped us for Ohio st, this brought nothing that will help us going forward
September 16th, 2017 at 4:47 PM ^
Which is why I'd much rather we play a cupcake MAC or Sun Belt team that runs IU's offense. Or even Purdue. Play someone who's going to prepare you for conference play.
The problem is football scheduling is out of control and you can't predict that far in advance. That said, NO ONE we play or played really runs Air Force's offense. Which was pretty much the same offense when it was scheduled. So it was silly to begin with.
September 16th, 2017 at 9:25 PM ^
Now you understand Air Force's feelings about the Iraq War
September 16th, 2017 at 3:48 PM ^
include Georgia Tech as well.
September 16th, 2017 at 3:31 PM ^
Except their triple option was largely ineffective. I'd rather see a thread about no more FB dives on 3rd and 9 with goal to go.
September 16th, 2017 at 5:05 PM ^
Not a FB dive. And boy, did we all have boners when that play was working on 3rd and long against Florida.
September 16th, 2017 at 3:31 PM ^
MEMPHIS!!!
September 16th, 2017 at 3:32 PM ^
Home of Elvis and the Ancient Greeks!
September 16th, 2017 at 3:36 PM ^
some home cookin!
September 16th, 2017 at 4:00 PM ^
it's only the river...!
September 16th, 2017 at 8:22 PM ^
Actually in Egypt, unless you mean when the Greeks conquered Egypt.
September 16th, 2017 at 10:26 PM ^
Think of London, a small city
It's dark, dark in the daytime
The people sleep, sleep in the daytime
If they want to, if they want to
I'm checking them out
I'm checking them out
I got it figured out
I got it figured out
There's good points and bad points
It all works out
You know I'm a little freaked out!
Find a city
Find myself a city to live in.
There are a lot of rich people in Birmingham
A lot of ghosts in a lot of houses
Look over there!...A dry ice factory
A good place to get some thinking done
Down El Paso way things get pretty spread out
People got no idea where in the world they are
They go up north and come back south
Still got no idea where in the world they are.
Did I forget to mention, forget to mention Memphis?
Home of Elvis and the ancient Greeks
Do I smell? I smell home cooking
It's only the river, it's only the river.
September 16th, 2017 at 3:37 PM ^
Might be most efficient coaching staff in the country per dollar spent. They had a clever game plan and scheme on both sides of the ball. Go Gators !
September 16th, 2017 at 3:33 PM ^
This was pretty similar to last week. Should we never schedule Cincinnati again?
September 16th, 2017 at 3:33 PM ^
Or Navy, for that matter.
September 16th, 2017 at 3:35 PM ^
Whe Mo Hurst got hurt I yelled "FUCK DAVE BRANDON" outloud in a bar
September 16th, 2017 at 6:31 PM ^
why is everyone upvoting this? I yell fuck dave brandon at least 3 times a day.
September 16th, 2017 at 3:35 PM ^
Is this about Dave Brandon??
September 16th, 2017 at 3:37 PM ^
the service academies have the best conditioned and disciplined players.
September 16th, 2017 at 3:39 PM ^
They're military!
September 16th, 2017 at 3:37 PM ^
Don Brown though. Dude had the D more than prepared to handle the option.

September 16th, 2017 at 3:39 PM ^
And we pretty much shut them down to the tune of 13 points off 232 total yards. Our offense, meanwhile...
September 16th, 2017 at 6:17 PM ^
and the long pass td was a blown assignment, so it's something that can be coached and hopefully limited in the future. d looked good today overall.
September 16th, 2017 at 3:40 PM ^
Quit drinking and go to bed.

September 16th, 2017 at 3:52 PM ^
Please consider Army or perhaps Navy, but none of them are gimmes.
September 16th, 2017 at 5:33 PM ^
I'm on board for Army, they are bad
September 17th, 2017 at 7:45 AM ^
You're going to get your wish.
We play Army in 2019. September 7th.
September 16th, 2017 at 3:54 PM ^
Oh well. Defense didn't look too bad. Offense looked bad. Can we blame that on Dave?
September 16th, 2017 at 3:56 PM ^
Quit the crying already blame this guy blame that guy it's overrated. You expect a Harbaugh Michigan team to beat anybody.
September 16th, 2017 at 4:06 PM ^
...four FGs. They're *almost* there.
September 16th, 2017 at 4:10 PM ^
against the gimmick triple option.
the offense was outclassed by an young academy defense. pathetic
September 16th, 2017 at 10:00 PM ^
But our offense is an young too
