Fuck Jeff Brohm!
September 23rd, 2017 at 7:44 PM ^
I honestly can't get on the hate train for Jeff Brohm for taking it to the refs when Harbaugh is infamous for the same thing:

So is it "passionate" when Harbaugh does it, but "bitching" when Brohm does it?
September 23rd, 2017 at 7:52 PM ^
Especially when a couple of those were proooobably pretty legit.
BUT!
That's how it goes. I'll take it! Michigan's got hosed by the refs enough in the past year that it's nice it wasn't us this time.
September 23rd, 2017 at 7:54 PM ^
Harbaugh has been more low key on the sideline this year.
September 23rd, 2017 at 8:07 PM ^
Yeah, I was mostly talking about all the late hits and cheap shots. I'm an Ohio U fan and watched their entire game last week and saw the same dirty shit in that contest as well.
September 23rd, 2017 at 8:14 PM ^
Maybe because Harbaugh would have been flagged for those kinds of tantrums?
September 23rd, 2017 at 7:28 PM ^
I think he just won the starting job!
September 23rd, 2017 at 7:35 PM ^
I think Speight just got Alex Smith'd
September 23rd, 2017 at 7:50 PM ^
Sorry to say but Speight may have earned this...
September 23rd, 2017 at 7:53 PM ^
O'Korn had a great game, and those who have been pulling for him to start will undoubtedly become for vocal. I thought it would fun to come up with a name for this group. Mostly because I find dad jokes and wordplay funny.
My thoughts: O'Korn whole gamers. Or the O'Korn Brogues. Any other suggestions?
September 23rd, 2017 at 7:58 PM ^
I posted two interviews of both quarterbacks before the season and pointed out that O'Korn had a lot of confidence, and that I wouldn't be surprised if he started. People made fun of me for making this decision based on an interview, but now I think we have a new way to scout who the starters should be...
September 23rd, 2017 at 9:17 PM ^
Buuuuuuuuuut, can't really blame for hoping O'Korn is to Speight, as Brady was to Bledsoe.
September 23rd, 2017 at 10:17 PM ^
O'Korn Dogs, of course.
September 23rd, 2017 at 8:03 PM ^
Children of the O'Korn.

Opened up a Can O'Korn on their asses!

O'Korn on the cob..
September 24th, 2017 at 8:35 AM ^
O'Kornucopians: a sect of M fans who believe that - in a world in which John O'Korn is M's starting QB - their lives will be overflowing with fruit and vegetables, and, most importantly, victories.
O'Kornutopians: a sect of M fans who believe that - in a world in which John O'Korn is M's starting QB - their lives (and, most importantly, M's offense) will be truly ideal.
UnO'Kornians: a sect of M fans who believe that John O'Korn is a mythical, flying horse-like being with a single, sparkly horn growing from the middle of his forehead and a rainbow-like mane & tail. As such, they believe him to have magical abilities including the ability to render poison water potable and the ability to heal sickness.
Note that there is a rather large overlap between those who self-identify as O'Kornucopians and those who self-identify as O'Kornutopians. Those who despise fruits and vegetables (particularly winter squash) typically self-identify as O'Kornutopians only.
UnO'Kornians, however, are a singular and - not surprisingly - rather fringe group.
September 24th, 2017 at 8:37 AM ^
And, in case you were wondering, I consider myself to be a full-on UnO'Kornian.
September 23rd, 2017 at 7:54 PM ^
I prefer to think that this was O'Korn's Tom Brady moment.
September 23rd, 2017 at 8:24 PM ^
From inept to fully functional offense with the change of a single player.
O'Korn felt pressure, avoided a lot of pressure, found open receivers in spite of pressure, delivered the ball to said receivers, and damn--he was on target.
What a relief. I think we found another Kaepernick.
I hope we found another Kaepernick . . . .
September 23rd, 2017 at 8:51 PM ^
He avoided some pressure. He made some nice throws. He also had to manage the offense against a bad defense and his passes were usually on one read. Maybe that's how this offense should have been with Wilton. That said I'm not sure that a one read pass offense is going to work long term. Glad the bye week is here.
September 23rd, 2017 at 8:25 PM ^
I wonder how many Michigan fans thought exactly this when Speight went down.. I know I did.
September 23rd, 2017 at 8:43 PM ^
cheered and said "good bring in O'Korn" when the injury happened. I wanted to punch him in the face but my wife and daugher were with me.
Conversely, was very happy for JOK
September 23rd, 2017 at 9:31 PM ^
Meritocracy theory says yes.
September 23rd, 2017 at 7:28 PM ^
Don’t undersell him. Lock for Heisman.
September 24th, 2017 at 2:03 AM ^
I think everyone here is overlooking the only QB who was truly perfect on the day: Brandon Peters.
1/1, zero turnovers, 100% completion rate, every single throw he made converted a first down. The only thing that could stop him in this game was the clock.

September 23rd, 2017 at 7:28 PM ^
I totally agree. He's playing really well. Making the easy throws and that's all I ask our QB to make
September 23rd, 2017 at 8:20 PM ^
he made a couple tough ones too!
September 23rd, 2017 at 8:29 PM ^
Had (I think) back to back “best throws of the season”
September 23rd, 2017 at 7:29 PM ^
I guess it made sense to give O'Korn some snaps? Hard for so many on this blog to comprehend.
September 23rd, 2017 at 7:56 PM ^
Well. As one of the people who refused to take the "give O'Korn a chance" chorus seriously, I have to admit I was wrong. O'Korn just played by far the best game a UM quarterback has played this season.
September 23rd, 2017 at 8:31 PM ^
Against Purdue.
September 23rd, 2017 at 8:37 PM ^
Against Air Force and Cincinnati
September 23rd, 2017 at 10:32 PM ^
Speight couldn't get anything going against the same Purdue team. I've been ignoring the Speight haters all year but at this point it's kind of hard to deny that JoK should get a chance to be the guy.
September 23rd, 2017 at 7:32 PM ^
He has looked good against a limited Purdue defense.
Speight did not.
September 23rd, 2017 at 7:38 PM ^
Considering the lack of reps, I'll take that.
September 23rd, 2017 at 7:47 PM ^
that weren't the best, BUT that's to be expected coming in like that. His second half was just unbeliveable. That second half was awesome!
September 23rd, 2017 at 7:33 PM ^
had an opportunity and seized it
September 24th, 2017 at 10:37 PM ^
Ma and Pa!
I'm not certain, but that just might be their first date.
September 23rd, 2017 at 7:33 PM ^
I think Speight just got Wally Pipp'd. At least I'm hoping so.
September 23rd, 2017 at 7:46 PM ^
Rumor has it that Speight took a personal phone call as the 4th Q started. Evidently Drew Bledsoe called to commiserate.
September 23rd, 2017 at 8:14 PM ^
let's hope it works out for Michigan the way it worked out for the Patriots.
