The first thing I ever read…

The first thing I ever read on this blog was something Ace wrote.  He’s helped make Michigan football more than a sports team that wears the same uniform.  He’s made it a community.  

He’s right.  We know…

He’s right.  We know absolutely nothing about this team.  Which team will show up in east Lansing and Columbus?  Screw the playoffs,  or the big ten,  I only care about those two games this year .  

This was the first game I’ve…

This was the first game I’ve watched from the stadium this year and I thought maybe that was the reason the refs seemed different .  It actually felt like they were not trying to control the game .   But even after watching it in tv It was obvious that these refs were better than any of the games so far.  One ref took a huge hit on that touchdown pass. Kinda funny.

Defensive line did great…

Defensive line did great getting pressure on QB but it shows how important Gary is on that run D.  He does more than the stats show.  I’m sure nfl scouts are very aware how much of a wall he is.

I can see what your saying…

I can see what your saying because the defense did let some plays through but this game more than any showed how valuable Gary is and Shay Patt for that matter.  But I still always felt that Michigan  dominated the entire game, even with Maryland finding some success.  I don’t think Maryland is as bad as Northwestern or SMU.  Those games were more concerning than this one .  This one was nice to see and fun to watch.

Great game by shay patt.  He…

Great game by shay patt.  He’ll need to play like that every game if we want to win double digit wins this season.  

Well Michigan ,  prove him…

Well Michigan ,  prove him wrong.  

Yah obviously , I’m more…

Yah obviously , I’m more referring to his emotional tenacity.  He doesn’t take plays off and he fights for every play regardless if he’s not getting home.  He’s a smart player as well and you can tell he uses scheme to attack each play.  I have yet to see that guy not look pumped up.  That juice he has is what wins championships.

Some people don’t like his…

Some people don’t like his broadcast and sometimes he does fumble for words but I actually am relieved when he does the game instead some of the other less educated broadcasters of the game.  Hopefully things go well and he gets better.

Isn’t this what review was…

Isn’t this what review was intended for?  I’m not saying to set up the little camera and grab a notebook on every flag but look up at the replay, refs!  It’s right in the jumbo screen for everyone to see!  Or maybe the booth looks at it ?  Hell,  god knows there is plenty of time for six commercial breaks on every possession but not one second to look at a gamebusting call? Just turn your head and say , whoops.  Sorry.  It’s entertainment  after all not a court of law.  There needs to be some discretion used when mistakes are so clearly made because in the end the game suffers not the refs credibility .    

Wow.  This brought up some…

Wow.  This brought up some bad memories.  First time I’ve ever checked out of a season was 2014.  A lot of work that was done around the house on those  2014 Saturday’s.  The moon game is the reason my basement is so organized.  

We need 8 more Chase…

We need 8 more Chase Winovichs on this team.  

I don’t recall  this defense…

I don’t recall  this defense beating Ohio state?  I must’ve missed that one.  Ohhhh your speaking of Moral victories,  like stats.  (Waves tiny flag). whooopee we did better than Ohio state on defense :|.  Still lost, just saying.  

Huge fan since I was a kid…

Huge fan since I was a kid and love this blog with the breakdowns and such,  but I hate when we put our heads in the sand like we are now.  Marcus Ray and Edwards are only saying what every non-Michigan fan is saying about Michigan football.   Last year for the first 4 games we all knew they were bad but Brian and everyone kept saying “ No Guys we are ok.  Purdue is really good!  And Cinni and Air Force is a great team!” But then we alll knew what was to come but we put our head in sand and acted surprised when sparty beat us AT HOME!  We blamed the weather???  Is that what Meeechigan is about?  Blaming refs and weather?  Lemme guess , suddenly after all the words on how bad NOrthwestern is, they blanked Michigan in the first HALF and it took EVERYTHING Michigan had to come back , suddenly they are a pretty good team?  Come on! When sparty loses to these teams we all laugh. Even when it’s close we laugh. But Underlining it all, there is a reason we are scared of MSU:  they are who we used to be!  They lose stupid games but win the big ones that count on the national stage!  That’s what we USED to hang our hat on!  We never won nattys but We beat good teams on TV.  Then lose to Purdue.  Personally , I’d rather have that then this.  Ray is right,  this defense is good but not good enough to win and we all know it.  Let’s stop pretending every team that spanks us is suddenly secretly good or that every good team we lose to on prime time was because of refs or the rain.  This is a blog about football right?  Not some propaganda machine that will be punished for saying bad things about our beloved?  We can say we are bad right?  Because if we aren’t saying it then the players (excuse me,  little baby children) won’t say it and they’ll never get to the point where they win.  They’ll always think they are good enough and get spanked by a sparty team that almost lost to Utah state and a Ohio team that was very much beatable ( except by Michigan) by   PENN STATE (Now we look up at Penn State?).  Now go ahead and call me a troll and pretend I’m an Ohio fan and Pretend we are fans of a great meechigan football team until November comes.  Because we All know where we’ll be: complaining about how the ref screwed us in Columbus or how harbaugh didn’t have any EXTRA plays in Lansing.  How many seasons do we need to understand that  THERE ARE NO EXTRA PLAYS waiting for sparty , or penn state or Ohio.  THIS IS IT.   I Deperately hope I’m wrong or Marcus is wrong or (sigh) Braylon is wrong but from being a fan who watches old Michigan games from the 90s for fun,  we sure look a lot like IOWA.  

 

first time i heard that term

first time i heard that term i was nine and the guy who said it to me didnt go to college and refilled vending machines for a living.  so honestly i thought it was just a reference to how michigan shirts were sold at walmart.  therfore, it never really hurts my feelings.  besides, i became a michigan fan as a child and whether or not i could get into the college has no effect on how fun it is to watch guys like woodson , desmond and braylon. next time a sparty fan says that to you, ask them who plays left tackle for their team.   I swear they are the most uninformed fanbase ive ever met.  most of them like the colors or the fact that they were the underdog for 40 years.
