Wolverine247 Board

Wanna join us?

Who isn't happy? I am a happy happy man.

I do too. Trust me, I don't care what these idiots do on their own boards. To hell with them.

I know. It's fine. We will get better from. We tackled bad.....really bad. But this team will grow from this loss

Cmxi is kinda of a baddass......seriously.....

We definitely will, we won't face another team of this caliber all year, and that gives me a lot of hope.

We were never going to win today. But we have a bright future. That's what counts. Look for winning the big ten from here on out.

That's more like it.

I love you guys.

We actually wield a hammer...that includes mods. Like I said pm me.

That don't call rabid the hammer just for his d*@&

I don't understand how anyone paying attention and watching Michigan football (who aren't michigan fans, anyway) from last year thought they would be a top 10 team, and a real contention for Bama. I'm not trying to troll, and I'm not trying to be a dick; everything worked out in your favor last year. You took advantage of it, and won a BCS bowl. Congratulations. Things are also looking up for you, but how this many people thought you were really that good already is beyond me. Bama has the edge on you with coaching stability, years of good recruiting (...colleges to stash some extra players for depth in the nearby area until they are good enough to be called up...) and, you know, all of that.

And also, stop with the "didn't have the balls to schedule" bullshit. Everyone says this crap every year based solely upon that teams scheduled FOR THE YEAR. Even if you wanted to, you just can't schedule an amazing non-conf opponent every year - it just can't happen. Scheduling conflicts, stadium agreements, etc etc. Ohio State schedules non-conf matchups with Texas and USC in the past, and has VT and Oklahoma in the future, but this year it's "OH MY GOD MIAMI OF OHIO, WOW GOOD JOB ". Dumb.

Seriously. Yes, this is a Michigan board, and yes, Ohio State fans will be classless and say anything that they can to piss off the fans. It happens all the time. It's the reason it's the greatest rivalry in all of sports. College football is cyclic, and right now you are having your day(s) in the sun, but trying to be the equalizer in college football fandom is retarded.

The offensive playcalling looked like they were more worried about keeping Denard healthy than winning the game. If I remember correctly he only had 1 called QB run in the entire First Half. When Fitz isn't playing, if you wanted a chance to win Denard would've had to run the ball much more frequently rather than standing in the pocket and flicking ducks all over the field.

Alabama's D is the real deal, and they were playing from mid-field the entire game after they'd return the punt. To act like that was Michigan's defenses fault isn't really fair, the snowball happened so fast and the offense didn't give them any time to catch their breath.

On a positive note I was very impressed w/ the Michigan pass defense. To hold McCarron to 50% throwing and under 200 yards are positives to build on. Now when we don't have to go up against an NFL-Caliber O-Line hopefully we have a bit more staying power against the run.
