Heart can't take games like that.
September 11th, 2010 at 7:26 PM ^
The game that comes to mind to me is '99 @Syracuse. Seemed to be just about to lose the game the entire second half, somehow hung on. Just felt relief at the end.

WOOOOOOOOOOOO! Denard played well accounting for 502 yards of offense. WOOOOOOOOOOO!
September 11th, 2010 at 7:24 PM ^
Now two weeks off for Denard. I want him out of the game by halftime the next couple of games.
September 11th, 2010 at 7:39 PM ^
i'm pretty sure we'll see denard for at most 2 series' next week, barring a disaster. there should be no need to play him at all, but i'd guess he'll see a few reps just to stay sharp, much like tate last year against delaware state.
what a great damn game today!
GO BLUE!!
September 11th, 2010 at 7:28 PM ^
This offense is incredibly fun to watch.
September 11th, 2010 at 7:35 PM ^
and the defense is about as much fun as a testicular examination
September 11th, 2010 at 7:38 PM ^
At least at a testiculare exam, you can pretend that it tickles, but this defense does not make me laugh with glee
September 11th, 2010 at 7:40 PM ^
defense made some horrendous plays, but for a young bunch of guys they did pretty good. if you told me that this is what we would have after twolf went down and turner transfered i would have said wow that's great. so...yeah wow that's great
September 11th, 2010 at 7:52 PM ^
Outside of the prevent defense at the end, the only two really horrendous plays were both by Cam Gordon and both lead to TDs, but outside of those two plays the D played very well I'd say. I'm definitely coming out of this game with a lot more enthusiasm with our D than I was going into it. Sure, those plays were both very bad, but they are also very correctable mistakes. Both plays Cam was playing like a CB that has safety help over the top.
At the very least, this doesn't seem like a D that will give up 30-40 to the likes of Illinois and Purdue. If that's all they do, we'll win 8-9 games.
September 11th, 2010 at 9:47 PM ^
who is giving you the testicular exam.
September 11th, 2010 at 7:25 PM ^
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! in?
Because WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 11th, 2010 at 7:25 PM ^
Is pretty incredible. It may be time to start engraving the Heisman with at least :
D..e....
Wow. Just amazing.
September 11th, 2010 at 7:25 PM ^
Hats off to Brian Kelly for turning in one of the worst non-Ron-Zook-Charlie-Weis coaching days I've seen in a while. We deserve to win this game every time, but holy crap did Kelly coach himself into a hole today.
September 11th, 2010 at 7:48 PM ^
September 11th, 2010 at 7:50 PM ^
That's what he does. My CMU friend always hated his gameday coaching.
September 11th, 2010 at 8:12 PM ^
I graduated from CMU and attended when BK was there and can attest to this. Bold calls like this can fly in the MAC and Big East, not at ND. While obviously it's too early to call, I'll be watching ND just to see if calls like this become commonplace.
September 11th, 2010 at 7:25 PM ^
man, i love watching michigan win and notre dame lose in the same game!
September 11th, 2010 at 7:26 PM ^
....and D needs to learn how to FRICKIN TACKLE WITH AUTHORITY. The tackling is still awful, imho.
September 11th, 2010 at 7:28 PM ^
Remember that Toussaint is still out. He could give us a lift.
September 11th, 2010 at 7:28 PM ^
Armando Allen is just made of petroleum jelly.
I more am glad I don't have to kill Gibbons and mount his head on a pike. Shoulda been up 30 to 17!
September 11th, 2010 at 7:39 PM ^
He is more like astrglide, slick and it lasts longer.....
September 11th, 2010 at 7:31 PM ^
Ignorme
September 11th, 2010 at 7:34 PM ^
'Cause I'm in SUCH a good mood!
September 11th, 2010 at 7:43 PM ^
2nded!
September 11th, 2010 at 7:32 PM ^
But let's postpone that discussion until tomorrow. We got the win and that's all that matters right now.
September 11th, 2010 at 7:26 PM ^
A few days ago, please contact me. I'm looking for stock tips and sure things in Vegas. kthx.
September 11th, 2010 at 7:26 PM ^
September 11th, 2010 at 7:26 PM ^
So I had a heart attack, pooped my pants, and woke up with NBCEEE showing ND singing. So we lost?
September 11th, 2010 at 7:26 PM ^
It's great to be a Michigan Wolverine
September 11th, 2010 at 7:26 PM ^
I kept the faith. My biggest fear was ND doing what we did - score with 30 seconds left. When we had 3:30 to go, I knew we were going to do it. GO BLUE!
September 11th, 2010 at 7:26 PM ^
Hallelujah for ND miscues today!
September 11th, 2010 at 7:33 PM ^
Hey man, those band members were WIDE open...
September 11th, 2010 at 7:37 PM ^
Incompletion Jesus has the last laugh!!!
September 11th, 2010 at 7:26 PM ^
Woohoo!
September 11th, 2010 at 7:26 PM ^
FUCKING DOG!!!!!!!
September 11th, 2010 at 7:26 PM ^
I have never needed for Michigan to play a cupcake more than I do this week...Thank you schedule maker!! My heart couldnt take much more of that, and Denard will hopefully get a quick hook and get some much deserved rest.
Aug
September 11th, 2010 at 7:36 PM ^
Can't wait to check tomorrow to see how many TEAMS Denard will have more offense than.
September 11th, 2010 at 7:27 PM ^
We have a lot to clean up. But it is good to see this team tough it out in a tough situation. Last week everything pretty much went right. This week very little offensively in the second half went right but they kept battling.
After that long TD to Rudolph, that determines what a team is about. This team fights.
Hats off to the coaches for that as well.
September 11th, 2010 at 7:27 PM ^
I hope recruits who say, "it's a spread offense and they don't throw the ball" get a wake up call and tell other coaches that tell them that, "Hey you are full of it, coach!"
September 11th, 2010 at 7:27 PM ^
I'm exhausted. Cannot imagine the players/coaches. Time to call my ND "friends." They already hate me. Now to make it worse. I suggest calling any "friends" you may have with ND tendencies.
September 11th, 2010 at 7:28 PM ^
Go blue!
and the only good thing about the NBC broadcast is Alex Flanagan
September 11th, 2010 at 7:28 PM ^
I've got an extra computer power supply lying around. Can I turn that into a home defibrillator?
September 11th, 2010 at 7:29 PM ^
Hey, does anyone think our celebrations were a little over the top today?
/(WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! HELL YEA BABY! GO BLUE!)
September 11th, 2010 at 7:30 PM ^
at the end of the half "WOOO!"
at the end of the game "PHEW!"
I thought we went a bit conservative in the 3rd, but the defense really stepped up. two breakdowns in the second half, but they totally exceeded expectations. Thank god ND's QB's keep overthrowing fly and fade routes.
September 11th, 2010 at 7:30 PM ^
what a GREAT start to the season
September 11th, 2010 at 7:30 PM ^
We went 6 possessions in the 2nd half without either turning the ball over or scoring. That does concern me, but we can revisit that in a later date.
It's time to go WOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 11th, 2010 at 7:50 PM ^
If you told me that we went 6 posessions last year w/o turning the ball over, I would have been overjoyed!! As others have said, not the best, but a win is a win is a win!
