I'd much rather play Duke as a chance at 4 losses in one season, and that putting MSU in the Championship game makes me want to puke now.

Coach Brown gave a demonstration of Gary's hand placement on a bystander during today's press interview to show he didn't deserve the hand's to the face penalty. (I love Don Browns press interviews)

I also wondered the same thing!

Bartlett, Tennessee

Pros:

Bartlett, Tennessee

Pros:

Cost of Living

No Income Tax

Friendly Neighbors (I'm in a neighborhood with many transplants but everyone's very friendly. Memphis Football is not a big deal here, but basketball is. Yard flags by me are Alabama, Notre Dame, Arkansas, Florida, Penn State, and Purdue.)

Cons:

Summer (Hot and Humid) I always say, in Michigan we were inside in the winter because it was too cold, here, your inside in the summer because it's too HOT.

Miss summers in Michigan and being 1 hour and 15 minutes from Ann Arbor.

My 3 brothers and I have a small business here and one of our key employees in a big Ohio State fan. (Please win this year in the big game as I'm tired of hearing it.)

Road system is atrocious, laid our like a spider web rather than a grid. I don't know where the engineers went to school down here, but even parking lots have the craziest entrance and exit designs. 

Just finished all 8 episodes

I wasn't that down on Speight because after the Purdue game injury, he was just trying to work his way back and I still think he would have lead us to a couple more wins if not for the injury. Also, we only see what the editors decided to show us, but O'Korn came across as someone who tried to talk a good game, but just couldn't get it done. You could really see the frustration from Harbaugh and Pep. I also think Harbaugh realizes he blew the bowl game when Pep mentions he didn't feel good about the play when the tight end is in at H Back spot and is about to get the hand off and relays down to Harbaugh that the play didn't feel right, but the let the play run and he fumbles it. Wrong people in for that play. 

I've read alot of people wonder what Pep Hamilton does for this team, but I feel a lot better about his coaching after seeing this show. 

Don Brown was awesome thoughout, but we had a very young group that wasn't up to being able to take the responsibility of winning games when our offense struggled so much even though he tried to push them to get it done on their own. I don't remember which game or episode it was that Pep just goes, "we can't block anyone". Our Quarterbacks weren't up to par, but didn't get any help from the line. 

I'm an old guy who was 10 when Bo took over in 1968, so the Ohio State episode with the reality that we have won only 1 game in 13 years (or is it 14 years) made me sick again. Especially when we were in position to win it. You got the feeling the defense relaxed a bit when the freshman quarterback came in and then O'Korn couldn't stay consistant for a full game.

Game Time

I think the late game time start with the fact we just changed from standard to daylight time screwed with them too. Equated to starting at 11 pm Eastern time compared to the week before, got to mess with your body clock there.

How do you allow

How do you allow a 32-8 run and loose the game as one of the top defensive teams like Cinncinati?

Can't name the exact time

Can't name the exact time, my father was a fan of sports, Tigers, Lions, but watched what ever college game was on. Bo arrived when I was 10 years old, and I think that was the start of becoming a die hard Michigan fan. I influenced my children with my fandom, and my daughter was accepted and UofM and is a class of 2006 grad.

Since I'm in Tennessee

Since I'm in Western Tennessee and Central Time Zone, it's only 8 here and even though I'm close to a senior, I still stay up till 11 CST so it works for me.

152

Had to go check the stats for the game and they still ended up with 152 yards rushing for the game. 

The Michigan Man Podcast

Also The Michigan Man Podcast. Mike Fitzpatrick does two podcasts each week during the season. One looks back at the previous game on Tuesday's and then previews the next game with someone with the one of the opositions media. Is usually posted on MazeNBrew.

Podcasts

The Wolverine (Rivals) has a lot of podcasts that are available to all, with Chris Balas, and other's that is not behind the paywall

From his perspective

From Troll perspective it's away. 

Audio/Video

I have my own office so I can keep working while listening to Audio/Video and still get things done at work. I just wasted 15 minutes of productivity by reading this.

Key differences

2015 Harbaugh's 1st year 2017 Harbagh's 3 year

2015 Durken's 1st year 2017 Brown's 2nd year.

Harbaugh had to get that 2015 team to understand how to win, I think they have a better idea of that now, plus these are guys he recruited, and when I listen to Don Brown talk about this group I can't wait to see them in action. 

No 77 against Rutgers again

That game was as much defense not letting Rutgers get anything going in order for the offense even to have enough time to put 77 on them.

Needed a couple more yards of depth

Needed a couple of more yards of depth on that kick off and they would have settled for a touchback. Still had indecision which seemed to affect the kickoff coverage. 

 

Shouldn't get any discipline for this

Watched this multipule times and you have to really watch the very beginning as Wormly is on a mission to get off the field and this person (woman or man) realizes at the last instant that they made a mistake and tries to take evasive action but way to late, then splat! Sorry, need to watch for oncoming trucks.

SOS

Michigan was ranked #1 in Game Efficiancy but Strenght of Schedule showed them ranked 68th. These are the two components I saw and it said that preseason data is used for the first 6 weeks for SOS.

 

1969

I was 10 years old in Bo's first year. My dad was just a sports fan and watched both State and Michigan, but I was always a UofM fan. Remember listening to Bob Uffer on the Radio during those years and loved the horn blowing for touchdowns. Didn't attend a game until after high school, but began a tradition of taking my son to one game a year at the Big House. My youngest daughter knew she had to go to UofM and is an alum that graduated in 2005.
