Proud of our boys
I am proud of our boys in the maize and blue. Yeah, they got outplayed yesterday. But they didn't quit, and they played their hearts out and hung with the #2 team in the nation and the Heisman frontrunner for a good portion of the game.
The D got shocked with 14 in the opening minutes, but buckled down and made it a game for the better part of 3 quarters. The offense was not good, but we knew that already. JOK was largely serviceable and made some good plays. Receivers need a lot of work. PP and run blocking needs tons.
But I think this will be a game to build on going forward, actually. Watch for that score to flip again next year.

You're forgetting about two pretty big pieces in Hurst and Cole who won't be here next year.

we didn't quit on the last drive - almost forced a fumble and the last play of the game, when D Frank hurried in a play, we crashed the backfield.
Very disappointed in the last drive before halftime - that really set the tone for a massacre.
This has been the 1st ugly stretch for us under Harbaugh - next year is really the time to see who we truly are.

Reading your smug arrogant BS last night, my first thought was, Sparty or Buckeye, although the former more likely. I was wrong. Your two "4910" accounts state exactly who you are.
You are one of the pedophile enablers... and one sore winner
October 22nd, 2017 at 3:51 PM ^
LOL this is Harbaughs 3rd year at Michigan and Hoke is still getting the blame?

Ashamed of the coaches .... many zeros except in the L column!

Yeah, lets give them juice boxes and orange slices after the game. Listen, these are good kids and good athletes. They represent the University well and I am proud of them. However, these players...specifically the ones on defense last night...seemed to be demorilized. Especially in the second half, it was clear that these players threw in the towel and looked lost and stunned. I agree Don Brown did not put them in a good position last night, especially McCray. Nevertheless, our safeties played awful last night

In other words, you could have said, "Losing with dignity"
October 22nd, 2017 at 11:23 AM ^
What part of getting gashed for 42 points made you think the D "made it a game for three quarters"?
And as for "a game to build on going forward"...we've heard this excuse week after week and yet we've found ways to get worse. So please, stop with this moral victory bullshit. I'm sure we'll get better under Harbaugh but it ain't happening this year

There's no where to start. The defense sucked, clear and simple. I think that was scheme and not talent maybe outside of McCray. After 3 years, and if I'm Jimmy, I find a new OL coach or two. Pass patterns seem simple and although guys like Perry were good last year, this year they can't get open. Athletes or patterns?
My guess is that Jimmy does a ND Kelly move and shake up the culture internally. A WR and OL coach for sure and an exciting OC. There's too much talent and speed to play iike a second tier BIG team. Moo U will lose two more games and so will UM. I'm accepting my fate this year and like so many years in the past there's always manana which is becoming UM's mantra..

Reading the quality of information behind the many overreactions after losses, I hope all the people who say they have given up on rooting for Michigan actually do. And then stay away.
You add far less discussion than what the OP is doing.

Go Blue!

I am not proud of the score or the outcome. Of course not. But this game felt a lot different from the 2007 Oregon drubbing.
And let us not forget that these are college kids. Some of them will be pros in the future, but most of them will not. I love to see them play well and win, and I've no doubt Harbaugh will get them to that point sooner rather than later.
It's the huge uptick in Year 1 that even had us at these expectations. Most people were saying Year 3-4 would be the year before Rudock went all pro on us.
But when we get on Internet boards to roast college athletes, that is a problem with us, not with them.
