I had surgery and am bored out of my mind as I recover, so I watched part of it, including the 4th quarter. That was some bad football. Wow, Lewerke sucked at the end. So, the genius Dantonio had all that time and couldn’t conjur up more than 6 points?

Happy New Year! Yes - this game was in contention for worst bowl game of the year; 0-0 at halftime, 

The other contender is the aptly named Cheez-It Bowl (I kid you not) on Dec. 26, 2018 had 9 interceptions, including a rare INT thrown by the QB after he had already received a forward pass on the play and AFTER crossing the line of scrimmage.

Some people must still rent Red Box movies because they sponsored a bowl game. They better have another idea soon though or they’ll go the way of Blockbuster.

I hate to say it but there defense has played better than ours the last half of the year. But I still hate them so much I can’t even watch them.

That offense reminds me so much of Michigan in 2018. The defense is talented and well-coached but holy hell that offense is a mess, especially the line.

Probably more like not say anything while an MSU doctor mollests 50 gymnasts. At least he doesn't have health problems like Urban. What a disappointment of a human being. So much talent wasted on a wife beater. Oh well. At least we are Michigan fans with our integrity and $$$awesome degree, right JPC?

The reason is probably due to the noticeable decline of our offensive production in the last, what, 4 games of the season? I mean let’s be fair, if our offense from the last four games was how we played during the early and middle part of the season, we probably wouldn’t have 10 wins.

Is our offense as bad as Sparty’s? Lol absolutely not. But the last few games are about as close as you can get.

Idk, personally I thought rock bottom was the last few years of Hoke. At least with Rich Rod we saw an identity emerging and each year was a slight but steady improvement. Like, I at least felt like RR knew where he was going with the program. 

Under Hoke it just felt like he was utterly clueless as to how to lead the team. I got some serious deer in headlights vibes from Hoke. Nice guy and all but he just seemed like he had no clue what he was doing with the program.

You didn't take joy in beating last year's one-loss orange bowl champions by 25 after they pummeled us last year? You didn't take any joy in beating last year's Fiesta bowl champions by 35 after they embarrassed us last year? And you didn't take any joy in winning a rivalry game on the road against a coach who only wants to beat Michigan and had done so every year with the exception of twice since Carr was coach? That sounds like your issue, not the fanbase's.

Worldwide and FORMERLY known as someone else must be a joy to hang out with.

Jesus guys, relax. The sun will come up tomorrow. Everything is ok. The team isn't there yet. Part of the journey.

Again, relax. If we want to take joy in Staee being a dumpster fire we can! Quit telling us we aren't "fans" if we dont share in your pity party or need to tell us all how much smarter and knowledgeable you are in coaching football.

STFU.

You are a joyless person. Another tough guy behind a keyboard. I guarantee if we were in a bar you wouldn't be so bad with name calling. Keyboard courage.

Any time you're in Minneapolis send me a message. I'd love to have a discussion with you!

Edit- to clarify: Wolverinerxblue was who I was referring to as previously known as...no need for me to check dates! Perhaps you should check your attitude and obsession with being chronically unhappy with football.

3 things: 

(1) didn’t know Redbox still was in existence; 

(2) definitely didn’t know they had a bowl game; 

(3) beautiful that MSU played and lost in the RedBox bowl, all while I (see 1 and 2 above).
