Check in if you’re already over it

Personally, the loss to South Carolina was dissapointing and a failure, but not that emotionally taxing being a bowl game. I have faith we can improve for next year and get back on track. For now though, it's on to our quietly improving basketball team. Go Blue!

On to the next one...

Go Blue.

Honestly, I was over it after Rich Rod.  The fact we took a guy like Hoke, ever, was a joke.  (My first poem of 2018)  Great Man, Great Michigan man, but was not and never will be a big time head coach.  That was a sad day.  Im just in waiting mode now, waiting for Michigan to come back....Go Blue always, Go Coach Go Harbaugh, Ill root always but Im not emotionally invested right now. 

Weaknesses seem like many 

-OL, QB, RB's can't block, young WR's were a HUGE disappointment, D giving up big plays against top teams, O play calling was disjointed, D needs some zone mixed in or some other calls besides 99 percent pressure which is to predictable against top teams.   

I still loyal, but I'm worried about next year after this bowl game disaster.  We looked like a poor high school team in the second half.  

No expectations for me now, I would have been really crushed if I were an OU fan.

Loaded team, talented enough for the playoff - Iowa loss and OSU robbery were brutal.

We underachieved last year, no way to rationalize it.  Harbaugh is a good coach, and has been incredibly unlucky in a few games...the Punt 6, and last year's OSU.

Luck reverts to the mean - he will start to get the breaks.  Better we have shit luck, turnovers, and dumb mistakes now (this year) than in games that matter when we are competing for championships again.

We had the YOUNGEST team in college football this year, coupled with QB issues and injuries.  If people are shitting on Harbaugh about this year, it's just dumb.  Yes, with some more creativity and better coaching we could have won 10 games - but once again, he took the youngest team in CFB and had them within 1 possession in the 4th quarter of every game outside of gettting hammered by PSU.

3 years and we've been outclassed twice by superior teams, OSU 2015 and PSU 2017. Let that sink in, and realize that the ball will start to bounce our way once we have a QB making plays and some juniors and seniors on the field again.  This program is in great hands.

I promise all of you, we will not be committing 5 turnovers a game going forward (MSU / South Carolina) as the youth develops.  Stay the course, Harbaugh will win with solid teams, we don't need luck or smoke and mirrors.

The fanbase and program have given him incredible amounts of resources and support.  He was the perfect candidate and the stars aligned to bring him here.  Going forward, it will all depend on him.  Does he take the approach he did on defense (hire the best guys for the job, based on their resume, even if he hasn't worked with them before) or does he take the approach he has largely done so far on offense, hiring people he knows who are former NFL coaches, who have not adapted to the college game, who do not have a track record of success in the college game, and who have little interest (or skill) in recruiting?  If he sticks to the latter, it is unlikely that even consistent top-10 or top-20 defenses will be able to counterbalance just how bad our offenses will be.  We have institutional/structural limitations that prevent us from being on the level of Alabama or Georgia consistently (much less in-state talent, we don't cheat in recruiting, higher academic standards, etc.), but without a change to how we approach offensive coaching (and recruiting by the offensive staff), I don't see Harbaugh having the Bo-like tenure that could be attainable, that most of the fanbase would be happy with, and that he might want as well.

Larry Appleton knows what's up!

I don't expect all our problems to be gone in 2018, but I'm well over 2017. Future is still bright, even if it isn't immediately so. 

It'll never be over, it's just beginning.

EXORCISE THESE DEMONS.

I'm very over it.  Fuck all this shit.   Harbaugh should play the "What is best in life?" from Conan the Barbarian over and over until it's embedded in these kids' heads.  We've been the victims far too long - now let's be the VICTORS!  It's TIME TO WIN AGAIN!

2018: The Year of Scorched Earth.

I'll be over it and tuned out if no real change is affected. And to me that means a firing of Drevno at the very least. If that doesn't happen, I'm done with next year and I'll check back in around late October to see how they're doing. After the "lost decade" and this roller coaster ride, I need a beather.

Moved on to life's other distractions until a blip in Spring and then August.

Fixes will be made.

8-5 ties the 2nd best season of the 7 years before Harb's arrival. Let's keep that in perspective.

Moving on from a rough 2017 season! 

The Team will use this season to learn a lot from and improve in every way! I have very high hopes for 2018 and I like the way Michigan's schedule is set up. They start off getting thrown in the fire and I think that's exactly what they need. Hers's to a loooong and boring off-seaon and winter, I can't wait for the 2018 season to start!! Go Blue!! 

Had a feeling it wasn't going to end well, so I went outside and played pond hockey with my son and nephews. 

I am ready for next season but will never forget how sh*tty our QB's played and the lack of fire from everyone this season.  Hopefully we can be the next Georgia, please just let our QB complete a pass and not look like he is afraid of EVERYTHING

Team will be fine. Growth will continue. Barring devistating injuries, 2018, despite the away schedule, will result in a better record. Harbaugh will address coaching issues over the next month or so.

This season will be the floor of Harbaugh's time at Michigan.

Go Blue! 

As long as no one publishes a magazine cover showing Harbaugh in a tux and Shea in a wedding dress....... it'll probably be ok.
