The Official Rutgers vs ][V][ichgan Game Thread

Yay.

So Michigan does not cover, but also does not fail to cover as it did in the three previous games.

Some might view that as progress.

We?ll see.

2019?

Like, pre-Covid, and shit?


Like, before we were all about to die, and shit?

I believe the M Go Blow vernacular is "BPONE", which is an acronym for "black pit of negative expectations". Referring to how we as Michigan fans have been conditioned to expect bad things to happen whenever things seem to be going well.

This team is fine. They've played 4 games and none of them have been close.

Michigan had 7 drives today. They had 1 3 and out, 3 TDs, 2 field goals and end of game. So the offense scored on 5/6 drives where scoring was the objective. They were 8/13 on 3rd down, 2/2 on 4th down. I don't know what else people want to see out of the offense. They have things to work on but they're going to win 99% of games if you're getting points every possession.

The new clock keeps on running will make scoring less.

Don't hit people with logic when they're trying to have a meltdown. What's the matter with you?

Dang it I should have known.

The Freep said the game was over in less than 2 hours and 30 minutes. That's kinda crazy.


I think it was a good game; Rutgers isn't bad, and we'll run for more yards against most of our remaining opponents. Especially ones that have lousy defenses.

Wins a win. Rutgers always plays us tough.

They do? Not including today's game we've out scored them 400 to 135.

They do since Schiano's taken over. They didn't under Chris Ash

I?m on the same page.

Since 1969, I have viewed the expectant Michigan football season with an expectation of greatness.

Happens often, not always, and either way it has nothing to do with anything in my control.

I?m just a guy who during the 1970s spent Michigan home games on the stone cold steps of Michigan Stadium participating in the Scout Usher program.

Then Don Canham decided it was less profitable than other shit and he canceled the program.

Oh well.

By that time I was having ?hot for teacher? ideas (nothing emerged from it) with his daughter Claire at Pioneer High.

Until Michigan l#^^+#+ses twice (I won?t literally spell it out), they?re in the NC hunt.

Also - what was wrong with today?

The game was a push.

M will still be #2 in the polls.

Not that that matters.

The stat that matters is 0 losses.

Zee-ro.

This was a better win than the first 3. Crush Nebraska next week.

 

[wlvrnstlr4life]

Great win today. I thought Rutgers D would give us fits and they did in the 1st half. Oline looked spectacular in the 2nd half and came out with authority. D clamped shit down and , yes, I called for a big play out of Mikey and he came thru, BigTime. The only little thing that bothered me was Edwards not being able to break any tackles. I thought for sure that that would come this year with the work in the weight room. Hopefully, he gets stronger as the year progresses.

120 - 72 under Schiano not including this week. That's closer than 78-0 in one game but I still wouldn't say they play us tough.

 

[rumseyhouse77]

Every team is going to play Michigan tough. Especially B1G teams. Everyone is gunning for the Big Dog.

Um, yah.

Because our guys are the current two time defending B1G Champions.

Jim apparently mentioned that Bo would've loved this type of game during his post game presser. I get he had a personal relationship with the man but I really wish the school and Jim would stop with the Bo reverence.
