Middle Tennessee State-Repeat of 2007 Against Appalachian State?
Not likely a 2007 repeat despite what this author thinks. #1 Jim Harbaugh is NOT Loyd Carr and despite 1997, Carr often had great teams that would find a way to lose. This is a different time in college football and a different program than Carr had.

Lol no
Your thread is okay, your title invites warranted negs.
August 23rd, 2019 at 2:52 PM ^
This board invites negative threads despite what is posted here. It's frustrating when your 35, living in your parents basement and your best friend is your computer.
August 23rd, 2019 at 2:57 PM ^
Or when you don't know the difference between your and you're.
August 23rd, 2019 at 6:41 PM ^
My 35 is different than you’re 35

you're* moran

You’re* taking the L
August 23rd, 2019 at 3:32 PM ^
Way to double down on it. That never gets you more negs.
August 23rd, 2019 at 4:04 PM ^
Not sure if I missed the note or if this only happens to me but with new update every time I downvote I lose an MGoPoint. I reserve them for special occasions like this now.
August 23rd, 2019 at 4:31 PM ^
Yes, that's what happens when you downvote, so I always comment to offset the point loss. I'll upvote you and your question for good measure.
August 23rd, 2019 at 6:36 PM ^
Good strategy +1
August 23rd, 2019 at 4:31 PM ^
I think it's been like that for awhile now. Either way, here's a +1 to balance you out
August 23rd, 2019 at 4:32 PM ^
This (losing a point to give a neg) goes back well into the 2.0 days, possibly as far back as 2009. I can't recall for sure but it's definitely been in place for many years.
August 23rd, 2019 at 4:34 PM ^
For real, imagine making that thread title and then doubling down when the obvious negs start to roll in. Takes a certain hubris.
August 23rd, 2019 at 6:39 PM ^
Pride do cometh before the MGo points fall
August 23rd, 2019 at 4:21 PM ^
Hell yeah, son! Double down and weather the negstorm!
August 23rd, 2019 at 4:22 PM ^
Well if this is the best you could do living on your own, you probably should move into your mom's basement. She probably smack some sense into you.
August 23rd, 2019 at 3:16 PM ^
OP shut yo' damn pie hole!
August 23rd, 2019 at 10:08 PM ^
If you confuse Appalachian State, on a multi year FCS title run, with MTSU, stop watching football.
August 23rd, 2019 at 2:47 PM ^
August 23rd, 2019 at 2:50 PM ^
Look at what you did OP, you made James Van Der Beek cry.
You should feel awful.
August 23rd, 2019 at 6:18 PM ^
Make no mistake, he's been crying for 20+ years now, but this is the final straw
August 23rd, 2019 at 2:48 PM ^
Shut your mouth. You can talk again in January.
August 23rd, 2019 at 2:54 PM ^
The Carr years must have been before you were born. Try Google and read about them and you can even catch some games on You Tube.
August 23rd, 2019 at 3:14 PM ^
Maybe you should just go away
August 23rd, 2019 at 4:58 PM ^
It seems you are stuck in Carr years
August 23rd, 2019 at 2:48 PM ^
take the leap off the bridge
August 23rd, 2019 at 2:48 PM ^
quit drinking and go to bed.
August 23rd, 2019 at 2:49 PM ^
Shut the fuck up Donnie!
August 23rd, 2019 at 2:55 PM ^
This is not ‘bam, there are rules
August 23rd, 2019 at 2:53 PM ^
Hail NO!
August 23rd, 2019 at 2:54 PM ^
Lord what a shit article. 2007’s team was showing the cracks of late Lloyd Carr recruiting, mainly on defense. Hart missed chunks of the game with injury. The defense inexplicably ran a bunch of stunts on 3rd and medium and got repeatedly gashed by QB draws over and over. MTSU is replacing a ton of their offensive starters yet the author calls this an advantage? GTFO.
August 23rd, 2019 at 2:55 PM ^
100% correct sir.
August 23rd, 2019 at 4:09 PM ^
I don't think people realize you didn't write the article.
And that you don't really agree with it?
August 23rd, 2019 at 8:27 PM ^
Their comments in this thread more than deserve to get negged to hell.
August 23rd, 2019 at 3:01 PM ^
That 2006 team lost a lot of talent/depth. The 2007 team returned the stars, but there was literally nothing else around the stars. No depth, or no good supporting players. On top of that, college football was drastically changing to the spread era, and Michigan seemed like they had no intentions of adapting.
2007 was really where all the red flags of what was coming began to show.
August 23rd, 2019 at 3:15 PM ^
I don't know man.
Starting offense:
- QB – Chad Henne – SR
- HB – Mike Hart – SR
- FB – Tim North – JR
- WR1 – Mario Manningham – JR
- WR2 – Adrian Arrington – JR
- TE – Mike Massey– JR
- RT – Steve Schilling – FR
- RG – Alex Mitchell – JR
- C – Justin Boren – FR
- LG – Adam Kraus – SR
- LT – Jake Long – SR
Starting defense:
- DE – Tim Jamison – JR
- DT – Will Johnson – JR
- NT – Terrance Taylor – JR
- DE – Brandon Graham – SO
- OLB – Shawn Crable – SR
- MLB – Obi Ezeh – SO
- OLB – Chris Graham – SR
- CB – Morgan Trent – JR
- CB – Donovan Warren – FR (Ok, Johnny Sears)
- SS – Jamar Adams – SR
- FS – Michael Williams – FR
There wasn't a lot of depth, but we returned a shit load from the previous season. They looked past App. St., and frankly did not believe they were any good. Problem was, they were pretty damn good.
August 23rd, 2019 at 3:54 PM ^
Yeah I always thought that loss was due to piss-poor game prep and the team and coaches writing it off as an automatic win thinking they could sleep-walk their way to victory. Instead App St. came to play and gave it everything they had.
If we had been even half-way decently prepared, we win that game 99 times out of 100.
August 23rd, 2019 at 4:15 PM ^
Thought the same thing til Oregon happened the following week.
August 23rd, 2019 at 4:27 PM ^
Our season turned around real quick after Sears was replaced from the lineup post Oregon debacle. Hard to stop anyone when one of your CBs is high and doesn't cover anyone.
August 23rd, 2019 at 4:31 PM ^
I blame BTN as it was their debut and the coverage was abysmal. We needed much better tv coverage to get up for that game.
August 23rd, 2019 at 4:38 PM ^
My time at Michigan coincided with this game. The oft-repeated (never confirmed) rumor was the team got stoned out of their minds not too long before the game.
August 25th, 2019 at 4:19 PM ^
One subplot of that season that gets surprisingly little attention: Carr notified Bill Martin after the 2007 Rose Bowl (the one we lost to USC) that he had decided to retire, but Martin and Mary Sue talked him out of it and got him to commit to one more season. Carr mailed it in that year, and the Appalachian State loss was the biggest consequence. It's on Martin; he should have let Lloyd retire when he wanted to retire.
August 23rd, 2019 at 7:06 PM ^
Not to mention aside from being Appalachian State they were a very good football team. Would have beat a lot of power 5 schools that year.
August 23rd, 2019 at 2:55 PM ^
No, there will not be a repeat.
And that game does NOT need to be referenced, even if it's used as a reason for why we will win. Take it from someone who was there, sitting in row 3 of the very end zone where the field goal was blocked. Fuck that game.
August 23rd, 2019 at 3:06 PM ^
I wonder if the game was better from there, or on the motherf*#^%ng radio because Comcast didn't have the Big Ten Network yet?!?!
AARGGGG I hate that game!!!
August 23rd, 2019 at 3:11 PM ^
That was the worst thing about that game. For everything that went wrong, we still had an easy FG to win, and it got blocked. Make that and after a year or so nobody remembers that game.
