Get it together. Pathetic considering our level of recruiting.

People negged me after the MSU game when I said the team never seems to match MSU's intensity, but it just seems that way in every big game they play. They look flat and uninspired all the time. They just melt after the smallest sign of something wrong. I really think people underestimate the power of emotion in football. It got Iowa a huge win over OSU and it got MSU a win over us and PSU. It would be nice if we could steal a game we shouldn't one of these days. We blew our chance last year by melting down at Iowa and OSU. Meanwhile Miami goes down to Virginia but manages to claw their way back in crunch time. We never do.

I think this team hasn't seen enough luck go in their favor. Lets face it, we have been snake big in several big games under Harbaugh. MSU punt, spot vs OSU, KR vs FSU, injuries to QBs, dropped passes. We have choked and the team flops at the first sign of adversity, like they did today. Just seems like we can't catch a break. I'm praying for us to pull off a miracle next week. Harbaugh needs this!

Yep it is very concerning. Has Michigan been the most overrated/underachieving program in the 10-15 years? If not, they are damn close. They certainly have had the shittiest luck in that timeframe.

...if the team forwent their trip to Rome and spent more time on ball security and turnover drills.

They can take a special course on Rome or a million other topics, Lord knows that Michigan has plenty of excellent courses to offer!

Would you also take a 48-3 loss to OSU? I get that this board likes to get reactionary, but I guarantee you that in year 10 if Harbaugh goes 3-9, every single person on here would be calling for his firing. Shit, he has had back to back 10 win seasons and numerous people are calling him the most overrated coach in football. Come the fuck on is right. You act as though Dantonio came in and challenged for anything in his first 3 years at MSU. I wouldn’t want a single 3-9 record from Harbaugh and you’re lying if you say you would.

Also, it’s true, they do have a playoff appearance. But I don’t think I’d call what they did playing in the playoffs
