Ohio State Snowflakes: General Observations

Don Brown and the defense did well, OSU only earned 3 points in regulation. 7 was a pick 6 and the other 7 was a 4 yard drive. Offense didn't hold up their end of the game today. And what's with the repeated running into the kicker on punts?? The occasional block is not worth the risk, that one cost us 30 yards and contributed to the pick 6. But, overall we played tough on the road and had more than a chance to win.

Year 2 and we were right there with our rival.  Very competative with the #2 team in the nation.  We played at OSU and played them extremely well!

My observation is ..... you can't throw 2 INTs to OSU ..... the first one was VERY costly. 

Our D did enough to win the game as usual.  Our offense was average in all competative games but .... we ALWAYS competed.

Close game .. not hanging my head ... .I am sure an honest OSU fan is saying ... "Shheeeeeeew man .. glad that is over" .... right about now.

Competative game we could have and probably should have won.

Again .. year 2 .... .we ARE a competative program and not a pushover any longer.  We are BETTER and another 10 + win season .... totally sucks we lost .. but still .. we are on the right path.  Much rather lose in OT and be competative than just blown out.  I assure you OSU coaches are happy and feeling a bit lucky to get out of there with a win AT home.

 

Sorry it went down like this for our seniors and you guys who really take it personal ... I know it's a tough loss ..... Still got the M hat on .... about to head out with it .... will not hang my head!

GO BLUE !!!

First off I just wanna say how much this forum server software sucks donkey cock. It's annoying as hell the server backend not being able to handle the fan load. If it's a matter if money let us know how fucking much but for God sake fix this 20 year old bullshit Secondly we played well but the coaches have not invested enough time in training the guys not to make stupid fouls not to mention conditioning has slipped. Championship teams do not fuck themselves with flags like we did all damn day irrespective of the dirty fanduel refs we had. Next year we need to contract some OOC refs because B1G refs are all blind or dirty

It got buried in the game thread, so I'd like to give umich1 and UMxWolverine a chance to explain why they are convinced the game was fairly officiated. Seriously, I want to hear it.

Pick 6. Another dumb interception to set them up at the 10. Fumble at the 1 yard line. He gave the game away. I don't care about refs or anything else, the QB choked the game away in the worst way.

Just fuck OSU. Fuck the refs, fuck that team, fuck that whole shit state.

How the hell do you not even review the 4th down spot?  You do that, uphold it, then find.  But when you don't even try to see if it was accurate, how do you not expect us to be pissed about it?

Losing the turnover battle, some terrible non pass interference in first and fourth quarter favoring OSU defense, while calling the other way against Delano on arguably uncatchable ball, took the game to OT, then we stopped them on 4th down but bad spot advanced even further by second official is what OSU needed to win this game.   Been watching football for more than 50 years, and was thinking this was going to be maybe one of the two best games I have seen in my life had Michigan won.  Amazing. 

Expect O'Korn and expected 13+ loss. FG leads were a misnomer. Officiating and announcing were rough. Borderline could have lost to WI anyways. Let's get our practices in, get healthy and finish top 5 in the country. We didn't hire Les Miles and every year of getting close just gets under Harbaugh's skin.

Well, we're in some real pretty shit now. What the fuck are we supposed to do, root for the pedos? Cuz fuck hoping those scarlet and gray fucks win it all. Anyway, the pressure's off and now i can go back to not giving a shit about football for another off-season.

Supposedly we won't have another chance at a national championship until 2019. I'm 65. Don't think that I'll make it. At least I was alive in 97.

No killer instinct, lack of aggression, turnover-ridden horseshit offense late in 2nd half.

We made too many mistakes, yes.  And that, not the refs is more the reason why we lost, but every 50/50 call that could've been made went against us.  The Delano Hill pass intereference penalty on OSU's last drive?  If you call that, how the FUCK do you not call the zillion other similar grabs that OSU's secondary did?

Urban Meyer made some stupid decisions too like the fake punt.

Worst officiated game I've ever seen in this series.

At the end, he couldn't stop talking about the "misery" of U-M at Ohio Stadium. Wanted to punch my TV screen.

I'll try: - Root for MSU to beat PSU. - Root for UW to win big over OSU in the championship game. - Root for anybody playing Alabama, Clemson, Washington, and Oklahoma. - Just root for chaos. If OSU could make the CFP w/o a conference crown, it's still possible we could. Not plausible though.

I am also confused on using Peppers with no real counter to the normal BS....at least have him fake throwing the ball once.  A lot of hype for no substance in the end.

Shots downfield - I think I remember one time Speight looked past about 15-20 yds.

Random at times....3rd down and long play action passes from your own end zone seem particularly stupid calls.

He team showed heart. The defense was up to the task. The offense just made too many mistakes. Ohio didn't win the game, we lost it.

Defense were warriors for most of the game, Offense did fine but had a couple of critical errors, Special teams were good, it just wasn't in the cards this time. It likely won't be in the cards next year but nothing lasts forever. At some point Michigan will catch up, we have the right coach and the right program and things are on the rise. It sucks right now, but we all knew breaking the streak against OSU will not be easy, just as breaking the steak against MSU wasn't easy. It's going to happen, just won't be as easy as we want it to be.

Unreal. Just unbelievable. Speight managed to play so well but make 2 monstrous mistakes. Maybe should've gone for 2 in first OT but fuck. Who knows anymore. He was short.

Those calls alone cost Michigan the game. Call PI consistently and M wins.

It didn't end the way I wanted, but it was great game.

It's all about recruiting. Hopefully when Harbaugh gets his qb we will be able to take it to them on offense. Spend all offseason preparing the defense and preparing for them because we're better than the other 12 teams in this league.
