Not Mike Hart but true. No…

More interesting to me was Bowman didn’t get a snap. 

Not Mike Hart but true. No…

Not Mike Hart but true. No big deal. Didn’t mean to sound like an insider, I am not, but statement is true.

Not Mike Hart but true. No big deal. Didn’t mean to sound like an insider, I am not, but statement is true.

Believe it not they have a…

Believe it not they have a package of plays, albeit a tiny package, for Villarri and that was one of them.

Compared to the last 4 games…

Big test next week and have a very difficult schedule. Many games, especially on the road at Madison and at Happy Valley will be tough to win. Fear our DL will get bullied.

Compared to the last 4 games…

Compared to the last 4 games last year, they better look better. Still concerned about facing the big boys on their schedule.

Doesn’t matter but their…

Doesn’t matter but their punter wasn’t touched. Obvious on replay. Worst call of day, even worse then the OPI on Bell. Best of everything to him. Looked bad.

Doesn’t matter but their…

Harbaugh looks slimmer and into the game but under control. Too soon to say anything about the defense, we had a 3 score lead at the half. Met expectations.

Agree. Too soon for any…

Agree. Too soon for any anoinments.

Let’s not get over our skis here. Did what they were supposed to do. Sucks about Bell. Would be shocked if he’s back this year.

 Bryan and pal..kudos!

A little short on football content and you post this. Self absorbed, eh?

Well, there was one other in…

Well, there was one other in contention. No names.

That’s really the truly one of a kind Matt Gaetz.

Well said! Really miss Verne Lundquist.

Outstanding! Really enjoyed…

Outstanding! Really enjoyed this. Hope to see more like this. Curious, are you or were you a coach, player, front office? Understand if you won’t answer. Agree with all you say especially going back to the good ole days, not just football, but everything. For me, that sweet spot starts around 1957. OMG!

 

Would you “bet the ranch” on…

Would you “bet the ranch” on a win in any conference game this year. I wouldn’t, even at Lincoln. Only absolute “gimme” is NIU. True, WMU is close to that but what are games are sure wins like back in the 70’s and 80’ against IU, NW, etc. None IMO.

I’ve always found your posts…

I’ve always found your posts sensible and well written. One minor point, Michigan is extremely capable of losing games it shouldn’t. Think you understated this a bit. Since Harbaugh at least 2 a season? But, Iam nit picking. More significantly, I just don’t see this team getting to 7-1. Forget about opponents, game  home or away. 


 

 

 

? Isn’t the best case…

? Isn’t the best case scenario with any coach 12-0?

I will take 9-4 with a bowl…

I will take 9-4 with a bowl win right now. You 10-2 folks are not just wildly optimistic but living in a fantasy world. 

 

Not sold on Matt Campbell…

Not sold on Matt Campbell. Who says he wants the job? Prefer Luke Fickell who would NEVER come here. Ironically, I think Greg Schiano would have done better if he accepted our offer back in the day.

Agree. Next year though will…

Agree. Next year though will be his farewell. Made himself unemployable to the NFL. Won’t make a good talking head either. Can skate thru life on his lifetime earnings. Or get Sara a job. 

Always wanted to ask? Why…

Always wanted to ask? Why did your parents leave out the “h” in John.

More: 2011, we lose if their qb doesn’t just overthrow a wide open receiver behind our defense on the last drive.

2005..turtle up with a 9 point lead in 4th?

2013..are you sure they…

2013..are you sure they wouldn’t have driven for a winning fg even if we converted. There were more then 30 seconds left I think.

2016..they gained 15 and a half yards on the play before the spot.

2017..who recruited John O’Korn?

2019..can’t depend on a guy named Piggy.

 

 

And Urbs returns.

I would never bet the house as is said but for your fantasy, I will.

Except we let them drive for…

Except we let them drive for a tying fg from their own 16. The spot? Nobody can say for sure. And Speight handed them 14 pts. Couldn’t run out the clock late. No excuses, just couldn’t get it done when it was most critical. 

Too true! Some even 12. Was…

Too true! Some even 12. Was looking for my grandson in pictures, guess he missed his free donuts.

Wishing you inner peace and…

Wishing you inner peace and contentment going forward. Persevere!

Simply put, agree strongly.

Well done, Ace. In a word,…

Well done, Ace. In a word, agree. They will be remembered for both good and now mostly bad, but should in no way be revered. I never bought into the “Bo” aura, good football coach, yes, but subject to the same human frailties, or more, then others. Always have been suspicious of the “coach/life mentor” labels bestowed on such hypocrites, in my opinion, Woody, Mike K, Joepa, now Bo, and many others. 
 

Not a defense, and in no way an excuse, just a fact..those were different times, sadly.

Doesn’t like Trump and his gang. Makes her far from left leaning. Just sensible.

Awesome throw and catch…

Awesome throw and catch. Made cover of SI. 

In 2011, Miller just…

In 2011, Miller just overthrew an open receiver late behind our defense that could have won the game for them. Good receiver too, forget his name. Anyone?

Seth it was. For the record.

TOSU...great FOOTBALL “school”. ‘Nuf said?

Pick 6 Terrence Buckley M’s…

Pick 6 Terrence Buckley M’s first play from scrimmage. Think at one point we trailed by only 13.

Jordan Poole may want a word re: excitement”.

Just hope a phantom foul isn’t crucial like in 2013 CG. 

One shining moment. One…

One shining moment. One. Please.

Of course. Have to foul…

Of course. Have to foul there..can’t give up a tying 3. They caught a break in OT. Cronin is lucky.

And Staee was stupid enough…

And Staee was stupid enough to foul on a late “and one”. 

One kid from Bama went 4-4…

One kid from Bama went 4-4 from the line, rest of team 7-21. Middle school or worse free throw shooting.

Huh? There was no elite 8…

Huh? There was no elite 8 last year. So there’s been one since. TBS sucks.

How many of you picked oral?…

How many of you picked oral? Wait, let me rephrase that.

How did you like 2011?

How did you like 2011?

True, not nearly as much…

True, not nearly as much since about 2008. Just hope we don’t get embarrassed. Sad turn of events.

I’m 73 and have maybe 15? or…

I’m 73 and have maybe 15? or more games (many Michigan but not all) tied for “biggest heartbreak”. Maybe the biggest was when I was 12 and the Yankees lost Game 7 of the WS to the Pirates, “Maserowski game”. Left my house and just walked aimlessly crying for 2 hours. For real.

Haven’t cried about a game then but was certainly miserable and depressed for several days after 2015 MSU stunner, 2016 Ohio larceny, 1994 Colorado, 2013 Ohio, etc. And of course Yankees Game 7 loss to D Backs in 2001.

I’ve told my grandson, a freshman at UM btw, that it’s a good thing he is not a sports fan..at all. I never asked but I doubt he could name anyone on M’s basketball or football teams. Lucky kid. 
 

I’m a bit more measured now in my golden years but still are far too anxious watching and rooting for Michigan.
