I sure hope they try and score.  Perception is a big factor with the CFP committee and bowl selection.  Never mind, Michigan took a knee to let everyone get a participation trophy.  Probably the same reason we lose to a bad MSU team and OSU every year, we don't have the same killer instinct and motivation.

Yeah it probably does matter.  The only reason OSU got into the playoff in the first year is because they dismantled Wisconsin in the Big Ten championship game. Sure, they could have taken the gas off a few scores earlier too but didn't and it got them in.  Not saying taking a knee at 35-10 is that big of a deal, but it seems like we lay off when other teams don't.  I'm pretty sure it was Jourdan Lewis or one of the other defensive backs after the MSU game last year said they let up.  I guarantee Dantonio has never let up against us.  They just seem to want it more every year.  Same thing with OSU given our record against them since 2000.  Neg away but repeated history says something.

Imagine his wife left him, totaled his car and burned down the house. You're the cop telling him. He'd still give you that frickin smile.

It's like the opposite of Chris Ash, who'd give you that "I am trying not to cry" look even if you told him he won the frickin lottery.

Is starting to become a beast!! Well we always seem to ugly it up against these shitty teams, so hopefully the injuries today weren’t that bad and they were all held out for precautionary reasons, because the next two weeks are gonna be hell!!

...you come back with that attitude after next week’s game. I seem to recall that many members of this Blog thought Michigan’s offensive line had become a road-grading beast last week. Well, that we ain’t.

even 10 guys in the box. The offense was so vanilla and went into a shell for 1.5 quarters that MD just committed almost everyone to the run. Must have been professional courtesy to Durkin by JH, because the 2nd half should have been a wide range of plays to give Peters a wide variety of looks before next week.
