Josh Metellus Says Revenge For The 2017 Game Is Still Not Over
I'm really looking forward to it. I've been looking forward to it for the past two years.... I'm just really excited to get out there.... Play 7:30, prime time, big stage......
We ain't finished the pay back....That one really stuck. Coz, you know, that could have been a real defining moment in our season. We lost that game. And we went downhill from there.
And so it begins. The cork board material gauntlet has been dropped.
October 15th, 2019 at 9:07 PM ^
Oh FFS.
October 15th, 2019 at 9:13 PM ^
Yep. This was definitely a good idea. I see no possible downside to this statement. After all, last time our team ran its mouth everything worked out juuuuust fine.
October 15th, 2019 at 9:51 PM ^
This doesn’t mean shit one way or the other. Whatever will happen, will happen, what won’t, won’t.
Psu is not going to suddenly play better because of this. If we play like we’re capable of, they’re going down, flat out period point blank.com
October 15th, 2019 at 9:58 PM ^
The pep talk didn't pep me up.
October 15th, 2019 at 10:54 PM ^
You just miss the pep offense.
October 16th, 2019 at 4:40 PM ^
then it's a good thing you're not, you know, playing.
October 15th, 2019 at 10:17 PM ^
We have never won or lost a game because of words said to the media in the week before. We’ve won when we’ve talked and lost when we’ve been quiet. Game will be played for 60 minutes on Saturday.
October 15th, 2019 at 10:51 PM ^
Unless there’s OT
October 15th, 2019 at 11:01 PM ^
Or severe weather that forces them to call the game at 56 minutes, Michigan up 3
October 16th, 2019 at 6:55 AM ^
Holy shit, can you imagine? Obviously, this would never happen; but if it did Pennsylvania would melt down and sink to the Earth's core.
October 16th, 2019 at 7:25 AM ^
The good news is, they'd pass the raging coal seam fire under Centralia, PA on their way down
October 16th, 2019 at 11:40 AM ^
Have a little meet-up with a few of their coaches from the past.
October 16th, 2019 at 3:07 PM ^
Shea is our QB. Sr. led team.
October 16th, 2019 at 3:10 PM ^
Far be it from me to, in any way, contradict the august Dr. Mantis Toboggan, but I read this the other day and found it interesting — and now topical! In certain cases it can help the trash talk-er, in others, it would seem to help the trash talk-ed.
...But obviously you're right. "That's why they play the games", and so forth.
October 15th, 2019 at 10:17 PM ^
"If we play like we’re capable of..."
This has happened, what, maybe 5 times since Harbaugh has been here. The rest of the games have left us wondering what in the holy fuck was wrong with the offense. Enough of the talk - just show the fuck up and play a good game. For a change.
October 15th, 2019 at 10:33 PM ^
Nah, it’s happened far more often than not, just not in a few games you’ve wanted it to.
October 15th, 2019 at 10:57 PM ^
Or the other option is..they played the way they were capable of..which was not so great.
October 16th, 2019 at 7:41 AM ^
If you can only play good against bad teams, then you're not a good team.
October 16th, 2019 at 8:52 AM ^
Your post makes me ILL. (pun - because I don't think you're smart enough to figure it out)
October 16th, 2019 at 2:44 AM ^
Damn straight.
There are a lot of pearl-clutching hens on this message board.
October 16th, 2019 at 1:12 PM ^
I disagree. CFB is all about emotion, giving a team something to get them more riled up can make a difference. Heck, I remember Harbaugh's first came when Utah got wind of a magazine article referring to them as a cupcake for M which got them fired up.
That being said, one player saying they feel they owe PSU more isn't exactly incendiary.
October 16th, 2019 at 1:15 PM ^
And Theirs your problem....
October 16th, 2019 at 8:31 AM ^
Cumong...he’s just making a statement.
October 15th, 2019 at 10:23 PM ^
LOL'ssss
Michigan fans the team need to show more swag and confidence.
Players show more swag talk about revenge.
Michigan fans the team needs to not talk.
Calm the hell down, if you think that Penn State was gonna sleep walk through a night game at home vs a ranked team, you're mistaken. They were going to get Penn State's best regardless. Let the team show some swag...... Believe, it's not fun but guess what the players gotta believe and just like his teammates the fans need to be behind the players. The reason they say sports is 90% mental is because it is. All these kids have the talent they need to believe and we need to believe in them.
October 16th, 2019 at 2:26 AM ^
Do you hate colons?
October 16th, 2019 at 8:26 AM ^
I forgot how much I liked the blue pants.
October 15th, 2019 at 9:08 PM ^
Well, it's a good thing nobody backs up pregame smack talk like we do.
October 15th, 2019 at 9:40 PM ^
The Revenge Tour ended well. Let’s have another go at it.
October 15th, 2019 at 9:52 PM ^
I was thinking just that too. I've also been thinking what kind of coaching staff would be needed to make Michigan a real contender for the CFP?
October 15th, 2019 at 10:15 PM ^
Cool, dude! You should make another unreadable thread about this new thing you're ruminating on.
October 15th, 2019 at 10:28 PM ^
You're new. But you certainly don't act new.
October 15th, 2019 at 10:39 PM ^
Coaching staff are adequate. Bag men are lacking.
October 16th, 2019 at 1:29 PM ^
No bag men at Wisconsin and yet they are 6 and undefeated with crappy recruiting classes
October 16th, 2019 at 4:33 PM ^
Yep, no bag men at UW. Which is why they're 1-9 in their last ten against Ohio State.
October 16th, 2019 at 6:30 PM ^
Who in the B1G has a winning record against OSU last 10 games? Right, no one
October 16th, 2019 at 6:05 AM ^
We have a coaching staff that makes us a cfp contender. But realize that Alabama and Clemson have taken spots every year, and leaves only two other teams fighting for it.
A new staff will set us back.
October 16th, 2019 at 2:21 PM ^
We have a coaching staff that makes us a cfp contender.
Citation needed.
October 15th, 2019 at 10:16 PM ^
I mean, it worked pretty well against Wisconsin and Penn State and MSU.
October 15th, 2019 at 11:03 PM ^
Those 3 teams lost a combined 12 games last season NOT including the ones they played against Michigan. What "worked" was that none of them were all that good in 2018. Had nothing to do with the Revenge Tour gimmick, which was just that.
October 15th, 2019 at 9:08 PM ^
Talk is cheap. Heard the same shit during the Wisconsin week. Something about, “making a statement”.
October 15th, 2019 at 9:52 PM ^
We sure did make a statement!
October 16th, 2019 at 3:44 PM ^
Yeah, but this is a Penn Statement.
At least I think that's what Penn State meant against us thanks to Barkley
October 15th, 2019 at 10:52 PM ^
Well we made a statement, so they weren't wrong. Maybe it's like making wishes. We just need to be more specific in our game week declarations...
October 16th, 2019 at 2:59 AM ^
You know what else is cheap?
Sports message board smack talk targeting the team you claim to be a fan of....
Let these young men who suit up and entertain us have a bit of fun in between the intense physical battles they go through on the regular.
No I don't like everything they say or do..but knocking these guys for this is pretty lame. And in general I don't see the point in knocking them at every turn when we are just sitting at a keyboard M-F and on a comfy sofa or whatever come game day.
Life is too short for that...
October 16th, 2019 at 8:10 AM ^
Agree UP.
Just shut up already JM
October 15th, 2019 at 9:09 PM ^
But is he looking to make a statement?
October 15th, 2019 at 9:12 PM ^
So True! Michigan players just need to shut up and play. Not a good look to say such things when you are (by all standards known) gonna lose again to OSU this year. Just keep your mouth shut and try to find a way to win.
October 15th, 2019 at 9:24 PM ^
The thread is about PSU.
October 15th, 2019 at 9:51 PM ^
There is something to be said for having quiet confidence.
