Michigan is the least blown out team (21+ pts)

7 or 8 of those are due to RichRod (depending if you count vacated 2010 OhioSt game).

Harbaugh has 1.

Hoke had 4.

Carr had none from '95-'01. First blowout (21+) was the loss to Tennessee in the Citrus Bowl that season. only suffered three (3) blowout losses in his career. wow.
 
does the 60 mean all blowout losses over 21 points or do you have to also count the ones that were over 28, 35, 42?

of the 60 we've suffered 16 (total, by 21 or worse) since 2001, half due to RichRod's famed "Allow a Point a Minute" defense.

we started playing football in 1879... so doing the math, yes, 2001-2015 was a worse than average decade-and-a-half. that's over 1 blowout loss per year.

Cherry picking the 1950's... we suffered 6 total.

1960's... we suffered 8 total... a whopping four (4) in 1962.

I feel fairly certain we had NONE from 1969-1989.

Gary Moeller had none. Not a single blowout loss. Even his bad losses (to very good FSU and UW teams) were less than 21.

Sorry man I thought so to but in 1969 michigan lost 40-17 to Missouri at home.
1984 lost 26-0 at iowa. So Bo had two
Only other one even remotely close was the 1977 16-0 loss at Minnesota.

That sucks. Yeah, I forgot about that shocking loss to Mizzou in his 1st season. in his book he attributed it to two blocked punts, which was unusual for one of his teams.

The Iowa one makes sense, I guess. That (6-6 final record) was Bo's only non-winning season

Still 2 blowout losses in 20 years isn't too bad. Wonder how that compares to other all-time greats like Bear Bryant, Woody Hayes, Osbourne, et al.

The Salesforce avatar for Dame fan is the final score of the game in south bend vs Hoke.

I asked him how many times MICHIGAN and dame have played ...he didn't readily know but it's 42 times.

MICHIGAN has won 24 of them ...Dame 17, with one tie.

now I'm a pretty big Michigan fan, but I wouldn't consider using a block M like that, let alone the result of a game from 2 seasons ago.

It's one thing on a sports message board, but another in the professional world where not everyone obsesses over sports, and you just come off as a dumbass when you do.

the funniest part is that he uploaded the avatar and changed his profile the day he got demoted and because he was pissy with me for being behind the reassignment. Left up to me I'd fire him and would have last fall ...but when he got demoted he suddenly had a new avatar of the scoreboard.

mine is the MICHIGAN ALUMNI coffee mug pic ...you know, because I actually graduated from the University and am a fan ...not just a bandwagon douche like he is

I didn't make the table, but I believe the 60 includes the 28,35, and 42+ games.

Fast look at woody's years .may have missed one .. 11
 
Woody was blown out by 21 way more then Bo and Woody had two losing seasons and Bo had zero but give credit to Woody for winning national titles when Bo just always came up short in those reguards.
