Let's get it done today!
Roast duck!
Hail Hail!
:-(
Yea, on this day, let us bring EMO week to a close. Let us crush our enemies, see them driven before us, and hear the lamentation of the ducks.
Michigan needs a new CARR with LES MILES.
That makes no sense.
Ugh, watching Dennis Dixon highlightes makes me want to throw up.
How in the world will UM win this game? Oregon may score 50.
As a new visitor to this blog, I just want to say best of luck during this intersectional gridiorn matchup, and, as a representative fan of the team you are about to grind into fertilizer for your stadium turf, I beesech you, go gently, and use plenty of lubricant.
hey designated duck, when your 2nd rate university and 3rd rate athletics department (bowerman being the exception) can hold a candle to the benevolent empire that is UofM then perhaps your advice will be heeded, until then preapre for a long 3.5 hrs
TAKE NO PRISONERS!
I've got news for you: There is no such thing as a Sparty fan that is intelligent enough to write a coherent blog and be presentable enough to be on television. Looks like you're out of luck.
Well, going out a limb after recovering about mid-week. The lesson, IMHO, has been learned. Go Blue:

mutual destruction it is.
Beefballs,
Since you're obviously not intelligent enough to have been admitted to EITHER university, based on your inability to recognize a plea for mercy on behalf of your next victim, I'm wondering why you're even here. Is this how you "preapre" for a tailgater in Michigan?
Sure, we're a 2nd rate university with a 3rd rate athletic department (led by an insurance broker with no experience, because why wouldn't they hire him?), in a 4th rate conference, that has never lost to a team in a 5th-rate college football division.. so you clearly are ahead of us in every aspect of the game.
Oregon's not going to win this game, but -- given the legendary arrogance of UofM fans like you -- your team's performance last week, and the collective gas oven the fan base has been sticking its head into since, gives everyone hope. Eventually, with continued performances like this, you'll be forced to trade your hubristic dreamworld in for a big ol' house of humility, similar to that absorbed by University of Washington fans over the last decade or so.
And, no matter what happens today, UofM will still be in Michigan, a.k.a. "The Armpit of America", and Oregon will still be in Oregon, with mountain ranges, wild coastlines, green valleys, open plains, clean air, good water, gas jockeys, medical marijuana, no sales tax, no lake-effect weather, no Michael Moore, no rust belt, no proximity to Ohio, and -- best of all -- a dearth of UofM chest-thumpers.
Arrogance is so unbecoming when you can't back it up.
Best of luck today.
Actually the armpit of America is Cleveland. Or Newark. Well really anywhere in Jersey would count.
Not that I'm saying Cleveland is in Jersey, just that any part of Jersey could be considered the armpit of America. That or Cleveland. Which is not in Jersey.
Wait, I thought the armpit was northwestern Indiana. Or is that the other armpit? Assuming the U.S. has two arms...
Anyway, Duck, I don't think beef's comments reflect the current attitude of a lot of people here.
designated duck,
App State is perhaps below a 5th rate team, thanks for the benefit of the doubt. I envy your lack of proximity to Ohio. Being a UM fan/Alum from Texas, I'm still too close Ohio.
As for the Armpit of America, that's more Toledo. Michigan is hands. Anyone from Michigan would be proud to show the idiotic hand map.
Good luck, and not all of us are that arrogant.
Go Blue
Chicken wings? Check.
BBQ and other sauces? Check.
Assload of beer? Check.
Tickets to game? Check.
Just in case, assload of Konyagi? Check.
Ready to go.
Go Blue!
Yeah, the armpit is the entire northern half of NJ, everyone knows that.
Anyone else praying that either OSU or WVU crap the bed simply so that someone else can be mocked this week? I won't participate in the mocking, for we have no room to talk, but it sure would be a nice break.
Oregon is home to a bunch of sasquatch seeing inbreds, it is the west coast equivalent of West Virginia. You should be pleading for mercy for the atrocities about to be performed on your school. When you have the pedigree of one of the top institutions along with the tradition of being exceptional at any and all endeavors as Michigan has been, a momentary stumble in the fastlane to success can be tolerated. I will not for one second harness my joy and pride at all things Michigan, I don't expect you to understand this because whatever your affiliation with Oregon it can not possibly generate such heartfelt passions because it has never approached the stratosphere of greatness that Michigan has.
Although I did misread your comments incorrectly at first, I am just a tad bit defensive after the past week, I am sorry for my error.
and for all of you cowards who downplay your affiliation and hide from what you know to be the inevitabel truth of a world dominated by Michigan, now is the time to gird your loins and crank up the arrogance factor.
The way the big10 looks so far today, we may be in D 1-AA next season. OSU struggling with Akron, State struggling against Bowling Green, our impending game... here's to a rematch with app state in the 2009 FCS championship game...
Wake Forest leading Nebraska 10-6 before the half.....Marshall up on #3 WV 16-13 in the third...
Marshall defense is falling apart in the second half. But Wake really looks good.
Marshall is coming back. They just got a touchdown to make it 27-23 and now they've stopped WVU on 3 downs. They're about to get the ball on the 50.
All hope is not lost, even if it doesn't look likely that they'll win.
I'm really impressed with Marshall's quarterback. In the first half he'd get a little finicky, but he's calmed down and made some pinpoint throws. They have hope for sure.
Akron has a decent infield and pitching. All they need now is a walk, stolen base, bunt and sac fly.
Duck:
Your attempt to engage someone who calls himself "Beefballs" in any sort of meaningful dialogue is probably not going to go well.
I also think your plea for mercy is unnecessary: UM always finds a way to be merciful. I'm just looking for a win today.
And just to clarify: you may have medical marijuana, but we have the Hash Bash. So it's all good.
beefballs:
I applaud your efforts in maintaining Michigan arrogance despite recent setbacks. However, our brand of arrogance should always be tempered by, you know, rational thought. There's no need to be an asshole to Oregon fans, especially when they come to the blog only to ask for mercy, as earlier, more sober commenters have already pointed out.
And just to clarify: Idaho is the part of the Northwest where miscengenation with Sasquatch and inbreeding occurs. Ohio and Indiana are the parts of the Midwest that are most likely the armpits of America's anatomy. Oregon and Michigan are not to be tainted by their neighbors' general nastiness.
Go Blue.
plenty of time left in WVU vs Marshall, but that last one put WVU up 11. Its over. Marshall's D is falling off Slaton like he's covered in grease. Hopefully what oregon defenders will do to hart.
any clue who's commentating the game?
i assume musberger, do we know the other?
Wow. Sorry Ducks fans. We wish your team misery and tears today, but only beefballs will, uh, have his loins girded in quite that fashion.
If it makes you feel better, he probably pronounces your state "or-uh-GON."
"And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths, and carp and anchovies, and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit-bats and large chu..."
Now THAT, my friends, is one HELLUVA tailgate!!
designated duck has obviously never been to any part of our great state outside of southeast michigan.
I lived in Eugene for two years while post-docing at UO, and yes Oregon is beautiful, but there are numerous places in michigan that match Oregon's beauty.
And I am quite sure that the numerous inbred oregonians are way more scary than any michigan white trash.
So, maybe keep the thread to football duckhead?
Go Blue!
(but i am scared that we may get our heads handed to us)
And it's over. No hope that WVU will get upset. Although, I hate C-USA so I'm not too sad.
there is a time for collegial debate, nuanced orations and good spelling, when discussing the superior qualities of ones alma mater those are unnecessary.
oh and beefballs is a classy erudite name!!!!
Anybody following the OSU-Akron game know if Boeckman got pulled or injured? Game stats would suggest the former.

I'm still too busy listening to my old Mineral records, curled up in a ball in my bed crying to do anything arrogant, let alone anything arrogant that has to do with my loins. When you're truly emo, your loins are lonelier than you are.
put on your girls pants, comb the hair over the eyes, and put on those big black square glasses... AND GET TO THE GAME!
big "interception" for wake on nebraska's 10. 7 to go. FG to tie.
and then forces a legit interception in the endzone.
my guess is that boeckman got taken out because tressel knew he could sit a 4 point lead and still beat akron. Why risk your starter getting hurt when it is in the bag?
i give credit to the akron D for stepping up and giving it their all but the offense has 69 total yards, I under stand that OSU has a stout D but you at least gotta crack triple digit yardage.
why did nebraska go for it there... no wonder C-wood ran bill callahan out of oakland.
i just saw a NCAAF score of 6-1. Montana something and Ft. something. did they get a safety on the field goal?
Wow. Wake Forest just got welcomed to the Land of Referees who Blatantly Cheat for the Other Team.
If that wasn't pass interference, they need to go ahead and just take the PI rule out of the rulebook.
Dan, absolutely on that. Nebraska got away with one there. Blatantly. Hate that as it could have changed the outcome.
Oh, well, we've been there too. Go Blue, Please beat OU...
Is it the 2005 alamo bowl team reffing that wake/neb game?
That was apparently an ACC crew, but they looked startlingly like Sun Belt refs that whole game.
OH NOES!!! ZONE LEFT TO START!!! WERE STILL PREDICTABLE!!!
but harts already averaging over 5 a carry... first down!
what that just a carson butler sighting?
Carson Butler is back! Our TEs are real now!!
dammit butler making up for a nice play with a boneheaded one.
Thank Christ Greise is doing this game and Musbuttberger is nowhere to be found.
UGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
!#$%!$#%#$%#$!%
Ryan Mallett for QB.
WTF was that? Where the hell was he throwing that?
WHO THE F*CK WERE YOU THROWING TO CHAD?
great start down the drain. after this series we are gonna be down 7-0.
and then we have a safety fall down again!!!
Here comes the spread. We're screwed...
Had Arrington wide open,
the beginning of the end
4th year freshman Chad Henne does it again
Can we declare Henne academically ineligible for making one of the most dumbass deep throws of all time?
Huge gaping holes in the pass D
and run d
Wow...we really are that bad defensively, huh?
Fuck me.
Oh boy, this'll be fun...
maybe we can hold them to a fg, maybe?
watch for the dumbass qb draw
Arrington wide open down the right side on the Henne pick. Henne not scanning the field.
OMG PASS DEFENSE!!!
Oregon giving us hope to hold them to 3 here...
CROWD NOISE!! I'm making a difference from chicago, I know it.
Cue the ISQD from Dixon here on 3rd and goal
Good coverage by D Warren even though that was not smart to attempt that pass
It's Donovan Warren and a bunch of scrubs out there.
look at those idiots shake their keys
wow they didn't run the draw
Brandon Harrison did not overrun the screen. Amazing.
STOP WITH THE KEYS!!!!!!!!
Was that a defensive stand??!
Brandon Harrison made the first meaningful play of his career.
How the heck was he a 4-star?
We stopped somebody! (With an assist.)
Ok, good stop, make'm settle for 3.
harrison i believe had a nice pick in the 05 NW game.
he has great speed thats why he was highly rated out of HS.
chance we see mallett after this next drive if it doesnt end well?
Negative
Our crowd needs to take a page from ODB's rant at the start of "Brooklyn Zoo" to get pumped up before cheers.
You can only rely on the other team's offense fucking up so many times.
ok henne now don't be a dipshit
OOhhh, Bonnie's hot. More Bonnie!!
That's a long text message, Bonnie.
Looks like Bonny hit the bottle last night.
We don't deserve brother Hart.
Ok, does anyone know why he missed half the game last week? We would have shredded them up with him in all game. What happened?
we need more of that
nice nice nice
now don't throw a pick
Nice job knocking that guy's helmet off.
Holy shit...a quick route
Who was the WR that threw that big block downfield, couldnt see the number.
Well that was a funny false start. Glad to hear Carr is great in defeat. Hopefully we'll get to hear he's the same in victory..... Yeesh.
Oregon's D is jumping EVERY time. How about a hard count?
i guess butler is done serving his time for jumping the nerd
We know Lloyd's a good man...we just wish he was a good coach, yeah?
Mitchell knocked about four Wolverines down on the false start. Punch it in, Michigan!
score a td please so we dont have to see the fg team.
Nice!
WHAT A CATCH
Arrington. ITSA NICE!
WHAT A GREAT CATCH! WOW! Thank you Adrian!!!!
Mario Manningham didn't get there?!?!?!!?
It was Arrington who made the block and the CATCH!
Arrington, niiiice
Glad we got the TD, but come on, Chad, at least pretend to look at receivers other than the one you plan to throw to.
That PAT was close to blocked. There were 5 guys through the line, including 3 inside.
In Chad I trust. can't believe I just said that.
wow, we really know how to take a good thing and make it look bad
please D please please please step up.
Good thing the coach didn't do the Oregon offense. Having the coaches doing the introductions has been awful so far this year.
dumbasses
Good God.
ASDFGHDLHGADLHDSKLVHD:GH
"did that kittie just stunt?"
Ugggggh.
UM Defense gameplan according to ABC "Stay Off Field." WOW look at that throw, guess we're just trying to execute our gameplan.
Brandon Harrison I hate you
Why can't Brandon Harrison run with a guy?
At least Hermann's defenses waited till the 2nd half to shit the bed
I love how ABC says the key to our defense is to "Stay off field."
That TD just proved it.
Sayonara, Ron English.
Fuck
for two? What??
WHAT
lol, well played, Ron English.
yayyyy...we really do suck as much as it looked last week
fuck these fucking assholes
offense better step it up.
That place is a tomb now.
#25 there looks lost and confused.
aaagggghhhh
For Christmas? I want a defense.
Hey...remember when Michigan was a good defensive team?
Holy christ
Warren put a shoulder on that TE... he had no chance to stop him
Mike Hart v. Oregon.
Awesome.
yayyyy...bad kickoff
If we finish 7-5, I'll be so gotdamn happy
"I"m not sure if Michigan can stop the spread attack."
Really? I'm pretty sure.
Yay Manningham.
Also, how have we not figured out how to stop the spread yet? I mean, I know we've all been asking this, but seriously. I bet FIU is better at stopping it than us.
And yay Hart.
Maybe Lloyd should've spent a little less !#$%#$!% time on the phone to ASU last week and a little more developing a #!$%#$% gameplan for Oregon.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
JEBUS!
Carlos Brown, you disgust me.
UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
never take Hart out== Never
This is going to be the longest season ever.
Can we move Brown back to the secondary?
Translation: fuck.
"when brandon harrison, who has made several good plays today"
what game is he watching?
snakebit
jeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzz
Man Dixon can move. Wow.
There's still a lot of time in this game, and who knows what happens, but...
if UM keeps playing like this, awful defense, dumb offensive mistakes and turnovers, etc.. how can there not be a serious dialogue about Lloyd's future? And by future I mean immediate future, i.e., September 15th.
NEW SEASON OF PAIN
loooooong season is long.
Don't give up the big play...don't give up the big play...don't give up the big play...don't give up the big play...don't...
...damn.
These players are on thin ice with Ron English?
Ron English is on thin ice with me.
Thompson's the spy. and hes way slower than dixon
seriously i fucking hate oregon they stole that game in 03 they gave joey to the lions and now they go for 2 against us, and plan on betting us.
FUCK THESE GUYS.
oh and keep fucking hart in the game its our only hope.
Why is the media constantly helping the coaching staff blame our EVIL players for not executing? Is there any accountability for our coaching staff at all?
These players are on thin ice with Ron English?
Ron English is on thin ice with me.
+1
How are we spying with a slow LB?
Remember sacks? I liked those.
Good thing Oregon is hurting themselves.
3rd and 17 please spy the qb cuz he will run
i'm glad the WR dropped that, because if he didn't Jamar Adams had overran him.. another TD
Well, if they keep fumbling snaps and dropping passes.....
We can't even blitz effectively
CONTAINMENT GOD DAMMIT
Woohoo
hooray for shitty kickers
i think oregon's trying to lose.... and were still not winning...
Defense is off the field.
Gameplan++
Oregon hurt themselves! Hooray, D!
Also: please tackle a man. Was that Graham that blew past Dixon?
Jamison resembled a freshman coed on her 13th beer.. nice containment.
Why do we see this PSA and not Space Bitches?
Oh, good. A missed field goal. That we didn't miss.
Why do I like pain and suffering so much? For $30, I could be watching Iowa play in person, and I bet they won't lose to Syracuse.
I know I've heard it said many a-time: if you see the defense standing around in between plays with their hands on their hips, it means they're winded.
This COULD get quite ugly
LOL..."Gameplan++"
G-O-O-O-O-D one, Chris!!
Think this Carpoolers show will end in a horrible accident?
Apparently Mike Hart and Mario Manningham are trying to win this game all by their lonesome.
arrington's on the ball too. i mean just reference then calvin johnson owning the 30 feet above the ground touchdown catch.
I hope the entire defense runs stairs every day at 6 am for the rest of the season.. except Warren.
If it wasn't for Henne being erratic and Offense- Hart= Fumbiliits I'd say we'd win this by a 45-35 score.
Point taken. The question is, can 2 wide receivers and an RB beat a whole team?
Mario and Arrington are gobbling up huge chunks of yardage here... the Ducks seem to be selling out on Hart right now.
Wow, I can't remember an end around occurring since Malone.
we're about to find out.
perhaps we put them in our secondary.
Nice try, Mathews.
Can we make that 3 WRs and an RB?
Ya kn ow, I went to a school that doesn't have football...you'd think I'd root for a te4am that's all bandwagony...and I'm a gotdamn Michigan fan. Not only that, but BU is essentially the same way in college hockey...what the fuck is wrong with me? Why do I like having my heart broken?
please convert
Great highlight. Just fantastic. Thanks ABC.
DID THEY HAVE TO SHOW THAT?
Do they have to show the hail mary during our game?
Someone at ABC hates us.
Why show us that Colorado play? There's no reason.
Worst sporting event I've ever been to.
how dare they show the hail mary cu UM game as the good hands flashback... assholes
I can't believe they're showing the freakin' Colorado play.....still can't believe Ty Law let Westbrook get behind him...
I guess they might as well show the Hail Mary now, not like I could feel worse about the program.
And thaaaanks for the Kordell flashback, Allstate. Reminder to self - switch insurers.
God, every fucking game we have to see that piece of shit Kordell Stewart and the only good play he ever made.
Is anyone else rooting for Colorado State to beat Cal? 20-14, CSU has the ball.
Appalachian State up 35-0 in the 2nd Quarter.
time in the cal game?
Crazy is right. Good lord.
That is the lamest sign ever.
Awesome timeout, fellas.
please no field goal fiascos
fuckkkkk.. now we have to attempt a FG...
13 min in the 4th.
saw block one more time
wtf is hart doing... why did he let him live?
*say
oh goodness
honestly, I just feel bad for you Detroit fans...I mean, at least I'm a Boston fan who loves the Pats and the Sox...if I was a straight up state of Michigan fan, I'd probably hang myself.
HA!
AHAHAHHAHAHH THE PAIN
Shawn Crable is no longer on the FG team.
This team is so bad that its funny.
thanks henne for getting sacked if not for the sack we make that kick
No good.. but two positives... one, no Crable.. and two.. no pressure.
I wish I were in A2. At least someone would feel my pain. I can't even wear my colors out of the house here.
holy cute crying kittens batman!!! its off the post!
hopefully the d can force a punt i know asking for a TO is too much
I wish I had Jodie Foster's gun
So ... only 54 days until basketball starts.
let's put the kitten in - maybe he can tackle
They shouldn't be associating Zingerman's with us today, that's not fair. Why don't they show one of AA's Jimmy Johns instead?
Broken up by Morgan Trent ... hah.
volleyball is ranked... as a guy i can respect a woman in spandex, especially when she can smash a big white ball through my face.
To borrow Jodie Foster's line, I always thought that fear was something reserved for Michigan's opponents...
Oh man, this announcing is comically bad.
dixon does not want to be hit if we get a few pops on him he might not be so willing to run. hit this fucking asshole.
what the hell was that?
wow...I guess tackling IS an option.
TACKLE HIM
This is killing me. Statue of Liberty?
not fooled. just pwned.
Man, we can't tackle anymore either. This game is over.
piece of shit play gets a first down.
TACKLE SOMEONE.
Way too many missed tackles on the Stewart run.
F'ing tackles!!!!!!
Statue of Liberty? AHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Also, the text of the word 'DUCKS' on the Oregon baseball caps is so small that I looked up and thought it read 'SUCKS.'
I just get the feeling that Oregon is basically openly mocking the defense.
This is the worst Michigan defense I have seen in 34 years of being a fan/a;um.
Me fail defense? That's unpossible
TACKLE HIM!!!!
block that kick.
stop them
go for 2!
The D is terrible, and they're STILL PLAYING THE CRAPPIEST OF CRAP strategy.
Game over. I'm burning my Michigan shirt!
fake it!
If only we could score a touchdown every time we were on offense we wouldn't have to worry.
anybody got a bar in chicago's northside to get wasted at after this...
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Wow. Will Lloyd Carr be physically removed from the field today by an angry mob of fans?
I don't know if this will matter later or not, but Dixon is tired with 10 minutes left in the 2nd quarter?
This is the worst Michigan TEAM I have seen in 32 years of watching.
I'm starting to understand what it's felt like to be Notre Dame for the last decade or so, for such a great football tradition to encounter such unbelievable ineptitude.
It's funny because my high school football coach was Coach Woodcock.
its still not funny
Two years ago OSU loses everyone on D and then (gasp!) retool and field a very good defense the following year. Michigan loses everyone and plays like a bunch of uninterested pussies. I'm so angry right now I can't even get drunk or yell. Fuck emo week, this is furious kill yourself and scream obscenities at elderly women on the subway week. I hate the University of Michigan.
we a need a td this drive. no ifs ands or buts need a fucking td.
Eric, Dixon's just gassed. He'll be fine after a sideline breather. We need to pop that little guy a time or three.
Not that it makes M's defense any better, but why did Dixon weakly run out of bounds instead of putting his shoulder down?
Excellent! Defense: off the field!
I have turned off the game for the rest of the day. I am also thinking about selling my tickets for the rest of the season, although I don't think I can find any one who will want to buy them.
It's even more depressing every time they show the despondent people at the game.
I'd be tired too if I had this much running room.
Hey, anon, how many tickets do you have?
Anonymous: $20 for the ND game.
Cog Hill is a lot louder right now
um, doesn't the defense need to pick it up too?
carlos brown is proud the join brandon minor and keving grady (AKA the super fumble brothers) and form the new and improved super fumble triplets.
I wish I were with the despondent people. At least they understand. I'm dating a freaking Florida Gators fan. Everyone pull for Troy, okay?
Oregon is on a pace for 800 yards....
Hold on, now. It's our OFFENSE that needs to step it up? What is Griese smoking?
Andrea: I live in Florida, so I have to deal with all of them on Monday. Last week was awful.
saved by oregon
is that john navarre in the #7 jersey?
Yay Oregon penalty that in no way affected the play.
I just starting watching this game 10 minutes ago or so--after my Gophers avoided embarrassment--but Henne looks as bad as he did last week. On that 3rd and 2, he needs to put the ball on the money. Awful.
Chris: We started dating during the Zook era. Things weren't that bad.
But the last year and a half? Has sucked beyond compare.
Griese's right. The D is a lost cause. The only way Michigan can win this game is to score.
C'mon guys, what's the line from Batman Begins? "Why do we fall, sir? So that we might better learn to pick ourselves up." Right? Right?
You know, earlier this week I kept saying "you watch, these a$$holes will win out so there will be this big 'what-if' controversy after the season".
Controversy averted!!
Hart makes the game worth watching at least.
Mike Hart for head coach.
Why didn't anyone tell me that Tacopants was back on the team?
since when did taco pants not graduate?
Jinx.
i knew i should have said it a couple plays ago.
UGH
better than an INT?
So that's what it's like to get pressure on a QB...
henne stop being a dipshit
Who's tacopants?
they gotta pick up that stunt.
The only response at this point is laughter.
jason avants 8 ft tall invisible friend that stood behind him. henne passed to him alot early in the career (correct me if im wrong)
Play clock? What's that?
Seriously? We're kicking it?
Unbelievable...
another wasted drive hooray
I'm losing it, holy cow. I am losing my freaking cookies.
great coaching! give it to them on the 20
What was the net on that punt? I bet Oregon picks it up in 2 plays.
Wow...way to pin them deep. Are we even trying on special teams any more?
Andrea:
An old joke of Brian's from a few years ago. Refers to Henne's tendency to throw way too high. Per the MGoBlog FAQ:
Tacopants is Jason Avant's eleven-foot tall imaginary friend
I wonder what the Carr nuthuggers and Dollar Bill apologists will have to say after this one. "No surprise here, Oregon's a great team!"
hey D do something.
this is fucking pathetic.
Anybody else hope we're as good as 2005?
Is Oregon running the Spread Option or a Spread Offense?
i can only hope... im gonna need a prostate exam if this continues
Carr mouthed "unbelievable"...
Were we actually trying to kick the field goal?
That is two times Henne has taking a sack to drop us out of chip shot field goal range...
So much for having a senior QB...
Gotcha. I'm relatively new around these parts. (As in, new last year).
But also, the existence of Tacopants explains, oh, everything.
Scary meeeeeeeerors girl.
most boring and predictable offense in the nation
homer,
You nailed it.
"I bet Oregon picks it up in 2 plays."
Yes.
when have they not picked up 9 yards on 1st down?
I'll offer 2 bucks a ticket for three seats for the Michigan-Minnesota game...sell em to me or you may have to pay to get someone to fill those seats.
Like I said. Two Plays. Christ, we had to guys run into each other.
might as well put Mallet in for some reps
Yay, we exceeded expectations!
fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
Containment is a joke.
Not that it will matter... block in the back anyone?
When did we forget how to tackle? Dude... our defense has completely lost any idea of fundamentals.
GO DUCKS
You know how bad last week was? I had an OSU fan (my gf's father) actually sympathize with me. I mean a fucking OSU FAN feels bad when michigan loses..you know that's bad.
The difference here is when their WR catches the ball 3 yards short of the first down he puts his shoulder down and tries to get the first down.
conference call time for me... thank god i have an excuse to not watch for 30 minutes... see everyone at half time
Jesus, what a bedwetting this is.
The switch from soda to beer is coming sooner than I had planned.
great, touchdown-saving, ACCIDENTAL tackle by Warren there. Christ on a crutch, what a horrible defense.
A tackle! hallelujah
bret gallimore is on the field at DT
"When did we forget how to tackle?"
I'd say at some point during the Ball State game last year.
I'm going to get apoplectic if any defender celebrates doing anything right this game.
TWO STOPS IN A ROW! WOW!!!
Someone needs to tell me why you get into the red zone and throw a 4 yard pass with no chance of YAC?
yep...we're that bad
Dixon!!!! He's killing you.
fucking pathetic
fuck
Are they really great runners, or are we just that bad?
In a just world, Lloyd would quit at halftime.
Why are we afraid to step up and pop him when he reaches the ball out like that?
14 yards on 3rd an 11, and the linebackers are deep in coverage.
Wonderful.
Dixon's the biggest pussy ever. Just get a late hit on him, you're never going to hit him cleanly. Pop him somehow.
fucking shit we are so fucking done
offsides
weakest offsides with contact ever.
Shock Michigan?!?!?! We know we suck, you stupid WASP asscunt.
Donovan Warren is allowed to join my team of people who actually care.
That gives us 3 WRs, an RB, and a CB.
Its that Nike money bitches!
I thought last night was my night to watch high school defense. Although maybe I should be nicer to the high schoolers, since they understand that whole "tackling" thing.
We know our defense sucks. But if our offense did its part, we'd have a 28-24 shootout here.
SPY SPY SPY SPY.... Ron English... pick up a controller and play some NCAA 08 PLEASE
I wanna go back to 2005.
Sorry, Boston Nick, I only have two seats. I am I can only make the next game and the last game (knee needs some work).
ohhhhhhhhhhhh jesus.
Ands its over
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DOUBLE REVERSE HALF BACK PONY STATUE OF LIBERTY I ALMOST SAW IT COMING
wow no statue for you!
NOT AGAIN.
Strike that.. in a just world, Lloyd would be FIRED at halftime.
un-FUCKING-believable
OOOOOOOOO! What a play. Dixon baby on the fake statute! Amazing. Good night Lloyd Carr.
Damn, that was a nice play.
Can we cancel the rest of the season?
Thats beyond pathetic.
this sucks... our defense is getting suckered by high school level trick plays
FUCK
God, its actually funny. Really, my roommate is staring at me trying to figure out my laughter.
Nice play. But why are they even bothering??? Surely they play a team with a better defense this year. They may need those plays.
I'm having a flashback to that Bobby Williams postgame meltdown when he said he wasn't sure if he'd lost the team. Do you think Carr might actually murder the sideline reporter if he tries to ask a question at halftime?
Does anyone know that super-hawt brunette on the commercial breakout? Yowza.
WHY CAN'T WE SPY THE QB???
Does anyone know a word for the most extreme form of humiliation imaginable?
So... is there any reason to punt on fourth anymore?
Can someone give me tickets to the Little Brown Jug game on Oct 27th? I'm still looking to transfer to UM, my dream school...
The announcers are laughing.
Wow. Just wow. If anyone wants to sell their Penn State tix drop me an email.
okay...I'll pay 50 cents for three tickets to the Michigan-Minnesota game...come on...some one tell me I should pay more.
People playing for the cameras now should be shot.
Stop. showing. depressed. fans.
We get it. We suck.
So was that aimed at Tacopants 3'1" little sister?
Yahoo Sports already has a story up about this game....
Bill: abasement, affront, chagrin, comedown*, comeuppance, condescension, confusion, degradation, discomfiture, disgrace, dishonor, humbling, ignominy, indignity, mental pain, mortification, put-down, resignation, self-abasement, shame, submission, submissiveness...
Seriously, $20 for the ND game, you know that I'm overpaying you for them.
Did Henne have a lobotomy over the summer?
motor city bowl here we come
Sgt. Wolverine- My high school defense actually covers people. I found myself asking "Now why can't Michigan do that?" last night. We are screwed.
Who is he throwing to?
ABC doesn't like math.
Yo...you guys better start offering to give me $1 tickets, becaus I'd almost feel guilty accepting payment to attend the Little Brown Jug game
Looks like the Big Ten Network will be picking up more games than anticipated.
Mallett! Mallett!
Michigan is laying low, suckering the opposition until 2008......
It might work.
fuck this fucking shit fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
Nice throw.
Gonna be a loooooooong season.
Not sure I'm interested in watching it.
mesko for heisman
Mario had him beat by 4 steps...
can we assume 32-7 at halftime?
Homer2931@aol.com
I'm offering $20 for tickets to any game this year.
Good one, Andrea. Perhaps her name is Poopypants.
I think not enough keys
Charlie,
Make that sort of sums up how I feel....
this is a joke right?
Hahahahahahahahahahaha
SHIT FUCK SHIT FUCK.
WOW. WOW. WOW.
ugh. just ugh.
Holy shit.
Uh oh.
well, can we start playing mallet?
lloyd resigns at the half
Dagger.
Now it IS funny.
Wow....In the words of Bill Walton,"This performance is shameful".....
DONE ... FIRE CARR
Would Lloyd or anyone else in the program get the picture if 110,000 people all left the stadium at halftime. Would they possibly admit that there is something seriously wrong here?
Can we assume 39-7 at halftime?
People should walk out and empty the stadium right now.
It's a clinic folks. A fucking clinic. Love Jamison with hands on waist looking into stands, not getting into stance and totally missing the snap. Disgrace
i'm watching the detroit shock.
1-11 here we come!
Apparently some NCAA coaches know how to go for the jugular.
Maybe we could get one of those one of these years.
Anyone ever feel like maybe Chad Henne is Drew Henson's younger brother?
At this point, my Michigan football wishlist looks like this:
(1) Les Miles
(2) Respect for Mike Hart despite his awful coaches
(3) That Mallett doesn't follow the trend of hyped Michigan QB recruits.
ANGRY MICHIGAN SAFETY-HATING GOD
Jimmy,
The over/under is now 40.
Carr's shit should be out in the street at halftime.
Kittens Kittens Kittens
Wait, there's still time for a 3-and-out, punt, and long Oregon touchdown.
oktoberfest is in chicago tonight. imm going to drink them dry
I'm tempted to put in the Heroes DVDs. But there's something to be said about watching a trainwreck.
How did it come to this?
That's all I ask.
How did it come to this?
At least last weeks atrocity was masked on the Big Ten network.
Just resign the game against OSU now and save yourselves from further embarrassment :)
Seriously, $20 for any game this season.
Dear Mike Hart,
You deserve better. I am deeply sorry.
Love,
Andrea
Just run Hart into the lines for Christ's sake, lose the game by 40 instead of 60, announce Lloyd is retiring at the end of the season and get on with things in 2010.
The M stands for mortifying.
Team speed--try recruiting some, Successor To Carr.
I feel awful for Hart. Everyone is crumbling around him. He'll keep plowing along. Hopefully his spirit won't break during the season. Poor bastard.
homer osu?
Henne i can make that throw you son of a bitch
Mike Hart is going to give up about 30 minutes after he's pronounced dead
Jesus. Is Henne retarded, or something? I've seen monkeys make better throws than that.
@mark
henson was fucking the shit his final year at UM
Henne is shit.
"The Big House is getting nasty." It's about time.
BuckeyeFans:
What on this board makes you think that we even THINK we can beat OSU?
bring back the kittens
Honestly, I think I might play better than our defense. And I'm 5"6' and 120 pounds.
Hart should just change his name to Jack Bauer and get it over with.
JH Scramble: If Carr & Clowns could've put together a half-decent defense in 2000 Henson would've gotten us to an NC no doubt.
I come in peace - but seriously, I feel bad for Mike Hart. If I were him, I would kill everyone around me for ruining what would otherwise be the leading Heisman campaign.
this site going to shut down again?
Need points fast?
Call 1-800-THREE-YARD-OUT
Should Carr bench Henne?
I think I just broke my hand...sincerely...it hurst so goddamn much right niow
Go back to Cedar Rapids Arrington. Take your criminal record with you.
trust me at the end of this year 2000 will seem like heaven
If I were Hart and Jake Long, I'd quit the team and preprare for the NFL right now.
the worst play that i have ever seen
Mallett time!! ??
Malletttttttttttt
mallet!
Mallett!!!
even our equipment manager sucks?
Great, let's get Mallett killed!
henne got up REAL quick once mallet started strapping up...until then I think he was faking injury
MALLETTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
OH SHIT THEY ALMOST PUT RYAN MALLETT IN.
New Math, you have a point. On the flip side, when my local high school defense started missing tackles and letting the other team back into the game, last night, I started to wonder how English got on our sidelines.
Emo week...
I think more like Emo Autumn.
So, how many rounds has Henne fallen the last two weeks? I say he's a 5th rounder right now.
Holy...shit.
Did Henne scramble past the line of scrimmage...than try to run back behind the line to try and throw it?
WTF happened to this team? We have the awareness of a Pop Warner team.
fucking SPEED....SPEEEEEEEED. We need it
henne is gutting it out
We have or frosh QB debut on a 4th and 12 hopelessness?
Err wait his chinstrap was f-ed up... what else could go wrong?
@ Jimmy
Awesome.
honestly perfect drive by michigan though
They're talking like the 5th ranking meant something.
Duck fight?? oh lord.
Duckfight? Jesus, Nessler.
Fair enough on Henson....I just remember never trusting him in crunch time.
please td please please please
Sorry, I'm new here... isn't Michigan a good college football team?
Is the band crying?
Henne to throw. Uh oh.
PREDICTION: Michigan 35 Oregon 32
If anyone else here has comcast...is your HD not working? my hd is not working on either of my TVs
go for it
FIELD GOAL by Chad Henne!
Another toss to Tacopants!!
henne sucks
TACOPANTS!
For some reason I'm in the mood for tacos for dinner.
TD to TP!!!
touchdown tacopants!
Get that fat guy on scholarship. Now.
Run Hart
HAIL TO THE VICTORIAS!
AHAHAHHAHAHA JESUS THE PAIN
Caught in a quackmire, and walking straight through the threshhold of hell....
Well, nice block by Hart anyway.
dipshits should have just take the 3 points
Will the fans leave at halftime?
Ok, now the defense just needs to get this stop before the half.
Ahmad Rashad's a tool.
AMAHD RESHAD?
That would have been a nice drive if we were up by 30....
Paper bag time.
booooooooooooooooooooooooo
Think the fans will cement off the tunnel during halftime? Will the marching band refuse to yield the field?
Well, time to get a girlfriend now, I guess.
We just just got tooled on.
By Ahmad Rashad.
At home.
FIRE CARR!!! FIRE CARR!!! FIRE CARR!!! FIRE CARR!!! FIRE CARR!!! FIRE CARR!!! FIRE CARR!!! FIRE CARR!!! FIRE CARR!!! FIRE CARR!!! FIRE CARR!!! FIRE CARR!!! FIRE CARR!!! FIRE CARR!!! FIRE CARR!!! FIRE CARR!!! FIRE CARR!!! FIRE CARR!!! FIRE CARR!!! FIRE CARR!!! FIRE CARR!!! FIRE CARR!!! FIRE CARR!!! FIRE CARR!!!
Lloyd let her live??????
What's Henne's injury? His mangina hurts
Lloyd's a funny guy. Too bad he can't fucking coach.
Okay, Lloyd, so you know what the injury is.
Any idea what the hell your team is attempting to do out there?
lloyd's smugness isn't even funny when he's winning
Charlie,
Thanks for giving me an idea of how to spend halftime! Drinking beer, listening to American Pie, and possibly trying.
For the first time in my life, I want to smoke crack.
LLLLoyd get a clue
No shit oregon wont melt...we lost to app. state
God... how did we go from 11-2 to every game being questionable this season?
Wow...Craig James just said, "they've still got Henne." As a positive.
maybe 3-9 this year if we can beat ND EMU (eastern not clausen) and NW or ILL
It's times like this I wish I drank. I know a guy with some absinthe, hmmmmm....
If you pay me 100 bucks, I'll take your tix for the Michigan-Minnesota game
Welcome to the PAC-10.
All y'all joking about tickets -- I was just walking to the Kroger on Stadium and there were guys desperately trying to unload tickets. I believe the bottom has dropped out of the market.
I left the house when it was 11-7 on the mission for more beer. On the way back I passed a neighbor walking to the Kroger and he warned me it was 18-7 when he left the house on the mission for more beer. I come back in and it's 32-7. That's just pitiful. Thank God we live so close to the supply of beer is all I can say.
I can't wait to watch Michigan against Notre Dame. That game might just be close...unless they also use their black quarterback
Mark May and Gary Danielson are so excited now that they are going tohave sex with each other.
it is truly sad that it took this type of season to make people realize what I have been saying for 7 years. im not even mad, im just fucking sad and disgusted.
When does basketball season start?
When will Michigan fans start wearing paper bags on their heads?
This is pitiful. Am I watching a Division 2 team? What the heck is this?
Well, the one good thing that could possibly come from this is a lot of change. It's long overdue.
Goodbye Carr. Goodbye English. Goodbye DeBord.
I'm thinking six losses oughta be enough to end their careers at Michigan. I'll start caring again when they're gone.
wow, mi fan.
take consolation: if you played osu today it might be close.
what a meltdown.
Someone asked above how it came to this?
38 years of insulation and inbreeding in the coaching staff, that's how it comes to this.
Michigan is at the very least 10 years behind the rest of college football, with the exception of the S&C program, which is at least 20-25 years behind the times.
Also above, someone wants Les Miles? You're tired of the same old bullshit and you want LES MILES?
This does not compute.
At all.
This is more painful than App State. This is more painful than USC.
This team is not doing anything right. Not one single thing. Okay, scratch that, Hart is giving 100%, but every other thing is going wrong.
This is the most pathetic display of defense I've ever seen. It's not all coaching. The players are completely overmatched. Chris Graham and the safeties take the worst angles of any defenders in college football. The line isn't getting any push. The tackling is OMG horrible.
This is going to make the season of infinite pain seem like days of wine and roses.
Goodbye recruits
I've been watching a long time... and i've NEVER seen a U of M team play like bo peep nursery.
They are now.
We still think we can out-athlete everybody. That's not going to happen anymore. We actually need... *gasp*... coaching.
what I want to know is how come houston runs up and down on oregon's notoriously pourous d and we can't get more than 7
i still think we beat ND next week.
for what its worth
WHAT A LONG SEASON and it's only two games in...
Fucklion gon' stick it to the Emu
It's times like this that I'm glad I just discovered a place near my apartment that sells Mickey's big mouths.
Goodbye recruits is right.
POOF!
Tedford's on the phone he decided to pass on the job.
I'd like to request the continuation of existential quotes for the remainder of the season.
I've already renamed my fantasy football team, Existential Dread, to reflect how I feel.
*ugh*
Even if we had better athletes than the other team it wouldn't matter because the conditioning is horrible.

Thank god the NFL starts tomorrow.
the issue is we are way behind the times of college football...as is the big 10 looking at last year's BCS performance. oregon doesn't have better athletes than we do, but they play a different damn sport...we play 10 yard fight, they play
nfl blitz
I was going to Cleveland to go boating but The Weather Channel says there's a foul smell of whoopass coming in across the lakes. Thanks for ruining any otherwise great day.
Come on Michigan get it together. As a Buckeyes fan I truly want to see Michigan run the table until the OSU game. Plus everyone knows the Pac10 is overrated.
Mike Patrick and Al Maguire are two of the worst analysts. Their Monday Night football group with Theisman was horrid.
It is so great that they now both call college football games. It is so great to know that after listening to douchebag Maguire for the UM game, I can look forward to hearing douchebag Patrick ruin the ND-PSU game broadcast as well.
Leslie Miles has all UM numbers on call block!
The team is taking no prisoners, but only because it can't catch any.
As an outside observer, I'm getting the impression this is going to be Death Metal Week.
Bill Cowher is the NFL version of Carr. No way.
We might actually be able to pull some good recruits if we got a new coach(es) next year.
Nobody is going to want to play with this crew.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.
I gotta fuck lion, bitches.
@steve
lucky dog they don't sell the mickeys "grenades" by my new apartment.
a long long time ago, I can still remember, how Michigan used to make me smilllleeeee.
No Bill Cowher.... NO.
The level of our suckatudosity expands beyond all known realms of suckatudosity. It defies definition. Perhaps "Superduper Suckatudosity?"
The defense blows, but the O play calling in and around the red zone is worse than ever. The pain...
put in the coner!
I'd love BuckeyeBNB to explain how the Pac-10 is overrated, as I watch this team (a team that many folks were picking to lose to a 0-1 HOT-HOT-HOT loser) pound the everloving shit out of one of the class programs of the Big Ten.
Isn't that kinda the definition of "underrated"?
Flutie just suggested relegation. He may be on to something.
Brian Cook for head coach!
NO FUCKING COWHER! Pittsburgh was one of the most conservative teams in the NFL over the last decade. Michigan needs to get *away* from that.
It's really gonna suck losing to Illinois this year too.
Here you go:

Enjoy!
"I'm thinking six losses oughta be enough to end their careers at Michigan. I'll start caring again when they're gone." --Depressed Michigan Man
DMM - you play Notre Dame next week, which is a guaranteed win basically, so no luck there.
Anonymous' comment 'welcome to the Pac-10.' - yes, that was great watching powerhouse Pac-10 team Oregon St get their ass handed to them by underdog University of Cincinnati 34-3 or some shit. Pac-10 has two good teams (USC, Cal) and a bunch of losers.
why? WHY? WHYWHYWHY????
Yeah, Oregon looks like a bunch of loser right now. Yeesh.
Why does the offense keep getting away from Hart, the only piece of the offense with any consistent success? Especially inside the 20?
But the BIG question on everyone's mind is...
...who would win a game between the Wolverines and the Lions?
Washington also appears to be back to decent form, currently toying with #22 Boise State.
They don't look good. Michigan just looks incredibly middle-school football.
Are we making a bowl game? Here are the "likely" wins:
Notre Dame
at Northwestern
Eastern Michigan
Purdue
Minnesota
...then maybe Purdue, at Illinois, at Michigan State?
We were ranked #5 coming into the year, and now we need to consider the possibility of our consecutive-season-in-a-bowl streak ending.
I really wish I had some drugs on me right now. This is ... awful.
That Oregon is beating Michigan does not make them a powerhouse.
THIS IS THE WORST UM TEAM EVER
Sun Bowl would be an accomplishment at this point.
Last winter, the University of Michigan did not give me enough money to attend. Therefore god is cursing the athletic program. Only one way to fix it.
Jesus, John Saunders just piling on. Fuck him.
If this ends in a blowout - Lloyd had better be tarred and feathered by 7
SHOOT ME NOW
A couple of days ago I jokingly posted that Oregon was going to get 50. They'll get that in the third quarter.
It all starts with a totally ineffective defensive line. If I could have any guy back from last year, it'd be Branch.
With this offense, even that might not be enough. Goodbye McGuffie.
I wouldn't blame Brian if he doesn't bother analyzing this one... it'd be like whacking himself in the scrotum repeatedly with a ball peen hammer.
Greg-
Lions, not even close.
Poll: should I take up University of Iowa football fandom?
"...you play Notre Dame next week, which is a guaranteed win..."
You have GOT to be kidding me, right??
Right now, the EMU game looks like the only POSSIBLE win this season!
We should have seen this season coming. You had to know that the apocalypse was coming when (a) they greenlighted a TV show about cavemen, and (b) Dane Cook became a "leading man" worthy of scoring Jessica Alba.
The end is nigh.
How the f is Bill Cowher like LLLLLoyd Carr? He is a proven winner and plays hardnose defense. Our defense has blown bigtime in recent years. Cowher can win big games, coaches with emotion (ie NOT like Lloyd), and USED TRICK PLAYS IN THE SUPERBOWL.
Erik, the Pac-10 is overrated. The explanation is simple really. You take one game, one moment in time and try to use it to explain how great you are. Clearly Michigan has issues. But even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
You lost to Oregon State, BYU!!, and Arizona!!! last year. And don't forget Oklahoma, although that "win" was from help from the refs.
Come talk shit when Oregon can finish in the top 2 in a mediocre conference.
How many yards would McGuffie run for on this defense?
Fuck john saunders he shat on the pistons during the malice at the palace. fuck that guy... wow you playe college hockey at WMU i'm so impressed.
Bad news on the doorstep ... I couldn't take one more step ...
SGT. Enlish's Lacking Hearts Club Band,
I hope you will enjoy the show.
SGT. Enlish's Lacking Hearts Club Band,
Sit back and watch the offense go!
This is the year I finally make my pilgramage to the Big House?
Serisously...not cool
Don't hammer the Block M you fucking criminal
Slegdgehammer to the M!!!
GO Ducks!
MALLET
New Math,
"...Lions, not even close."
Check back tomorrow, after the game with the, um, Raiders.
Mallett IN!
Andrea:
Yes. Iowa or any other team you can think of.
I'm starting to look forward to the Minnesota game - they might have the only defense in the country as bad as Michigan's.
OMG MALLET TIME!
Mallett era begins.
Mallet time
It's Mallett
Henne isn't out there! Mallet is going in.
kill me now
Mallett!
MALLETTTTTT
5-7?
Wow...Chad Henne really IS a joke (and a bitch, etc.)...
mallet let's see what u got kid
if mallet can get on the field...
Fuck! Can anyone on defense make a tackle? Jesus!
Hey, does anyone think that if a bunch of us were playing defense things might be going better? They couldn't go worse.
What the FUCK is up with our defenders falling down! WTF??
307 yards= 7 points?
Wow.
yeah surprise surprise turnovers kill you
beer time
Will Mallett get a standing ovation?
Oregon has to punt. A moral victory!
OK TWO QUEsTIONS:
1. If mallet does well is he the starter?
2. Should app st be ranked?
It's not Henne... not Mallett. It's our scheme. There won't be any magic. I want to see a few bright spots though.
future starts with mallet
Andy: only just now?
btw: at least e can blame it on henne getting hurt?
Wolverine: no, I don't think so. At this point, beating Michigan proves what, exactly? You have a pulse?
Andrea - I've been double fisting since the statue of liberty
Time for Mallett to start breaking hands...
put in mcguffie!
It's hard to imagine Mallett being anything but bad right now, first game as a true freshman. But that's not a bad alternative right now.
Yeeeeehaw! I'm back, but I would have hoped for better circumstances, but alas -- the problem with the state of Michigan also effects with school as well, they are still stuck on stupid.
I said it last year on this blog -- and thus far I haven't been wrong. I said if they start the season with Lloyd Carr and Chad Henne... were done, Mallett just took the field.
Carr is an entrenched bureaucrat, not a head coach of one of the most feared schools in NCAA history. Henne was his golden biy therefore the obvious choice of who not to go to -- this season starter is going to hurt Big Blue's recruiting efforts long into the future. This friggin game is so hard to watch -- but maybe this will dislodge Carr's head out from the AD's ass. He needed to go after the third time we lost to Ohio St. when he first came on. I love my team... but it's time for tough love!
- TDR
why is alaska tv super delayed, like 2 minutes suddenly?
Which one? The first one? Or the second one?
Pain. Oceans of pain.
Oh F this.
OH GOD
Hart hurt. FUCK!
omg he's hurt
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
BuckeyeBNB is apparently of the *true* BCS fiasco, the one that left a #2 Oregon team out in the cold. I'm shocked that he'd talk shit when he knows nothing.
Of course, (not very good) != (overrated), so it doesn't really matter. The "goodness" of the Pac-10 has nothing to do with it being overrated or underrated.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Hart hurt.
Fucking amazing
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
FUCK HARTTTTTTTT nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
ooooooooooooooooooo
Someone just shoot me. Please.
An imaginative OC would've play-actionned on first down.
I bet his leg's broke
Run-run-pass-punt. Here we go again.
FUCK, now Hart is hurt.
Kill me.
fuck..me..raw
and hart is heart h00ray for wurst season evr
I don't have the game on anymore... what's up with Hart?
sorry meant hurt not heart
Good thing Stewart and Harrison can celebrate a succesful punt coverage
Hart limped off the field...it looks bad.
@serenity no shit when are we going to wake up to this millenium?
Seriously, I'm a huge Wilco fan, but having to see these commercials every 2 minutes is killing me. It's even worse because I will forever connect these songs with this UM football season.
This is truly awful. I mean this is the sort of beating that a bottom tier MAC school gets. On the road.
I'm only watching now just to say I witnessed the worst loss for Michigan in the modern era
So this is what's it's like to be an Indiana fan.
LOL "Serenity Now"...that's a funny handle. Seriously, though: I'm betting Hart broke his leg. It's the only thing that makes sense.
fucking running lets just start going shotgun so we can lose by a respectable margin
50 yard punt, no return. ZOLTAN FOR HEISMAN!
@WOLVERINE. Fitting that the local ABC station here keeps playing those "Cavemen" commercials.
@ KBlow:
I'm watching to see if anyone on this team has any heart, other than Hart. If the answer is no, then I don't need to watch another game this season.
I can't stop watching... I want to go and start pregaming to see WMU take on Indiana. Its like a train wreck.
Nessler advocating steroids?
Losing to Syracuse - I mean Donovan McNabb - might have been worse than this, but there's still almost a full half to go.
THey installed the shotgun into the offese and won't use it down 100 points.
Break out the laterals, it looks like it's about time.
Nice celebration Taylor...good job. Really...good job...you made a tackle.
get ready for the first losing season since '68.
and anyone who wants Les Miles is a fucking idiot. he's a bigger bozo than Carr.
y r they passing?
at least they can't catch
Two straight Oregon punts?
Oregon punting? It's a Christmas miracle!
Prediction: Brian doesn't UFR the game this week, instead he compares the ABC fall lineup with various members of the Michigan defense.
Cavemen = Chris Graham
Carpoolers = Johnny Thompson
etc.
Here's hoping Oregon starts playing a little prevent, Mallett finds some open receivers and builds a little confidence for the rest of the season.
Okay, everyone. I think I've decided on my new fandom. It's just going to be whoever's playing USC and Florida. If I can't have victory, at least I can have schadenfreude.
First down run. Defense never saw it coming.
hart will lead the comeback?
Hart's back
These consecutive punts just increase the pain, since we'd be right in the game if it weren't for an inept offense, stupid turnovers, and a quarterback who doesn't realize that he needs to GET RID OF THE FUCKING BALL AGAINST THE BLITZ!!!
...well, maybe Mallett can make a couple of throws that make us go "oooh!" in the second half. It's all we've got right now.
checking off into a....1 yard loss
What the fuck. Really.
K -Blow
I feel your pain...
CATCH THE BALL
PAIN
Poor Mallet. Poor, poor Mallet.
and the mallett era begins
As in "Ooooh ... and things just got worse"?
pick.
oh, the humanity.
What kinds of evil did Michigan commit to have this kind of powerful negative karma come down so heavily?
well now that mallet is playing he aint gonna transfer.
thats a plus.
At least they let Mallett throw the ball down the field. At this point who cares if he fucks up. Let him get some experience.
Wow, super Mario is stinking the place up too. Folks, it's going to be a long season.
We are losing because we do not have an adaptive/deceptive offense.. I think Mallett has the talent but needs the time on the field. Carr has to run the plays. I have plenty of confidence in Ron Dizzle [English] but... geeeeeez already
NOW OUR OFFENSIVE PLAYERS ARE FALLING DOWN!!!
This is unimaginable pain.
(By the way, that throw was a rope. Mild "ooh".)
After this joke of a game, the whole coaching staff MUST be lynched. I feel bad for Hart. Tremendous player with a coaching staff that cant hang in pop warner ball. what a fucking disgrace to the tradition that is Michigan Football.
Let's just stay healthy
You know what's worse than losing this game so embarrassingly?
Knowing that I'll probably watch the rest of the season anyhow.
Mallett's third pass vurns a hole through Manningham's hands... yesh, he really does have a Mk 40 Rocketarm
The only question remaining is ... how much will Oregon score?
Scott,
I don't know, when an asshole like May gets on you, that's one thing. But when John Saunders does, maybe there's something there.
No light at the end of the tunnel right now!
Dear Lloyd:
You are shaming my program. If you don't quit immediately after this game, I will return to Earth and stab you repeatedly with a butter knife.
Love and kisses,
Bo
i'm avoiding all american sports media from this point on. Thank god the rubgy world cup just started and I have F1 and soccer. this international week sucks though, and this meltdown is so epic it might even crack the british press. i'm avoiding english from this point forward. i'll tune in and watch each game but thats it, i'm over it, il est trop triste. une semaine de jaques brel ici...
Defense is OFF the field!
ahhhh,=...remember when being a Michigan fan was something to be proud of?
So....0-4 since Bo passed? Is he mad at us or something?
Depressed Michigan Man,
Yes... Michigan has, do you know how liberal the state is? It's one whole heartbeat short of a socialist state... Unions run the state, thugs run Detriot. Not the state I grew up in. I still love my team though, but there is some karma bills to pay -LMAO
-TDR
nice fumble
There's light at the end of the tunnel. It's a freakin train!
That's a pitty turnover.
morgan trent!
You know, I think the tragic thing is that this actually may NOT be an upset.
The leadership on this team is almost non-existent. None from coaches and none from any player but Hart. I wonder if ANY player even voted for Henne when the capt ballots were handed out?
Something good just happened yeah!
Thanks God we can't tackle...we never would have gotten that fumble if we would have hit him at the LOS.
F'ing Massey!
That's a SPECIAL brand of douchebaggery you're rocking there, TDR.
Christ. They recover the fumble and Massey false starts.
This just sucks beyond all suck-tion.
CARR NEEDS TO GO...AFTER THE GAME ENDS THEY NEED TO FIRE HIM, OR HE NEEDS TO STEP DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ah, yes. Michigan deserves this for being liberal just like America deserved 9/11 because of the homosexuals in the country. (Or so said Jerry Falwell).
It all makes sense now.
How about a f-ing playaction pass once in a while.
just gotta keep moving them sticks! lol...
And it's not really that liberal. I've lived in Europe.
Yes...the telestrator.
OMFG. Holding. Someone please shoot me now. This is one of the ugliest football games I've ever seen.
There is no god.
You gotta give the team credit. When they fail they fail epically!
no...they just want him to throw on 2nd and 24!!!!!
mallet v. clausen pt. 1 next week?
That was close.
did they really just go for that? let's save faace?
what an arm
Jaysus, Mallett has a canon.
Do you think David Cone woke up today thinking "I'm going to get some playing time today".
GODDAM what an arm
great arm Mario should have saved face and caught that tho.
I like this music for the Nike commercial. Is it Braveheart? Where have I heard it?
To think that I figured Notre Dame would suck this year and that we could pad our wins lead this season... ESPN is right, ND/UM is the pillow fight of the year.
Flip to ND-PSU. White-out puts big house to shame!
Call me a bad fan, but I just left the stadium so I could come home, drink, and watch Notre Dame lose instead.
Absolutely pathetic.
This is like the super bowl...I'm only watching for the commercials at this point...That Nike was one hella cool...
Charlie, the music is from Last of the Mohicans.
@ charlie:
it's last of the mohicans.
Amen to the Mallett Howitzer.
And this game is so much worse than last week's game.
A round of hemlock for the house on me!
Dave, you're not a bad fan. There's only so much torture people can take. We're not all Jack Bauer. I would have succumbed at half time.
Emily, Depressed: Thanks!I may have that CD somewhere...
I just re-watched that bomb; Mallett threw it from the goal line to the other 40-yard line, 60 yards of vertical distance; considering the horizontal distance to arrive at the hypotenuse...that was one long fucking throw.
Unfortunately he still underthrew Mario.
the dixon lovefest is killing me
HJKVBFHCNECJKSCNMKJ!!!!!!!
This Dixon kid is pretty good...
OK, I've been bitching all game, but really - HOW CAN LLOYD CARR HAVE A JOB AFTER THIS GAME?
my goodnessm time for another shot
anyone in chicago want to get drunk?
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *weeping*
wow the first game i can remember since IOWA 02
who is in the secondary next week?
@Dave. Not a bad fan at all. In fact, why more people haven't left is beyond me.
That Nike commercial was fantastic.
How about this Dixon kid? Anyone?
I'm in Chicago but I don't feel like leaving my condo.
EVER.
Llyod will not be fired. No matter how bad we do, they won't fire a coach in season. Don't remember the last time a coach was removed in a season. Maybe Bo's a Michigan man will coach Michigan. Get used to Carr, he's going nowhere until the end of the year.
"why don't they just do that everytime?"
hahaha these announcers are ridiculous...
We have a secondary?
I was planning on staying home and having a quiet night tonight. But after this game, I am definitely going to the bar and getting piss drunk.
@formerlyanon dude, take a shot with me, this is beyond pathetic
I call a first down run.
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh paul mcguire i know you love the taste of dixon's cock and balls in your mouth, but when they lose to USC by 4+ TD's you'll realize dixon sucks but UM's D is even worse
Positive things to come out of this debacle:
1. Craving for never ending pasta bowl.
2. Hey, Vince Helmuth got in the game!
3. ...
I'll be spending the rest of it trying to come up with something else.
looking for a san diego drinking partner as well...
