Mich back to losing. It feels right at this point

/Costanza

 
How am I more optimistic about Michigan's chances than the actual alum / fan?

Prob bc we've watched more games. This team makes so many mistakes in a typical game

 

[twibnotes]

That PI was so late. Basically waited for the OSU player to ask for the flag and said, "ok - here you go"

 

[canderson]

What a horseshit PI call v Michigan.

 

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

Spurrier looks miserable. Love this.

 

[canderson]

Barrett might need two new legs.

 

[soxhop411]

Ugh. That looked bad

 

[twibnotes]

So maybe miller will play qb after all

 

[Al Zarilla]

Touchback by a pork rind. 

 

[MentalDisabldLst]

on the opposing 39 yard line.  4th and 14.  maybe you go for it?
 
edit: or kick away, touchback, gain 19 yards of field position.  Congratulations.

Can't go for it there bc gardner makes way too many mistakes. Very sack prone and then you give them the ball on the 50.

The solution is for the punter to kick the ball better so you give their backup qb bad field position

 

[MentalDisabldLst]

Still plenty of time for Michigan.  They should assume 80%+ runs from OSU.

Or more...

 

[twibnotes]

This is where michigan's crappy coaching will come out. This team never wins a game like this...ever

 

[MentalDisabldLst]

God bless Dante Scarnecchia from keeping Tom Brady un-injured for 13 of his 14 years in the NFL.  You never appreciate that more than when seeing an important QB go down needlessly.

Even if you're 20% to convert, that gives you a great position from which to tie the game.  In the 80% chance you fail... well, you're exactly where they are now.  On the 50.

 

[Fred in Lynn]

So is Miller toast? Didn't see the play.

You mean Barrett?

It didn't look good

 

[Al Zarilla]

Almost a tuck rule play in the Georgia game. Assume there's no more tuck rule for college either.

 

[soxfan121]

Fat guy touchdown alert, as Kentucky scoops up a Louisville fumble and gets the TD to take a 32-28 lead with 9:32 remaining. 
 
UK just tried a halfback pass on the 2 pt conversion and offsetting penalties have them kicking to take a 33-28 lead.

 

[MentalDisabldLst]

Oh look, OSU going for it on 4th down on the opposition 44, despite being up 7.
 
I'm not rooting for them, but declaring them "better coached" seems like a pretty likely observation.

 

[Fred in Lynn]

You mean Barrett?

Yeah, Barrett. Thanks. If not for the post-it note left on my mirror at bedtime, I wouldn't remember my name in the morning.

I named a QB on the roster. Close enough for me

I'm honestly not sure it's even 10 pct.

I get that it's normally dumb to punt but I'm guessing you haven't watched Devin Gardner play all year. He seems like a great kid, but he's not an effective qb.

 

[twibnotes]

Well, to be fair, miller is toast too

 

[johnmd20]

Go Bucs!!!

 

[MentalDisabldLst]

Still glad they didn't roll those dice, twib?
 
edit: I mean, sometimes a screen pass on an overaggressive D-Line can gain 14.  It's not an impossibility.

 

[canderson]

And ballgame.

Do you really need to watch this game to know that urban Meyer is a better coach than brady hoke?

 

[soxhop411]

Boo

 

[Fred in Lynn]

Well, to be fair, miller is toast too

So you're saying I'm pretty smart and covering all the bases.

 

[twibnotes]

Michigan isn't losing this game bc of a coaching decision. They are losing this game bc of a thousand cumulative coaching decisions. Michigan is a lousy team with a lousy coaching staff

 

[twibnotes]

Michigan's d has been good all year when nothing is on the line. As soon as they need a big stop, total no shows.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Great finish in Macon Ga. 

 

[canderson]

Fitting finish to Gardner had Hoke's UM career.

 

[twibnotes]

That's why I'm not a fan of letting gardner go for anything. That play is par for the course. The kid is an absolute turnover machine

 

[twibnotes]

Fitting finish to Gardner had Hoke's UM career.

Hoke's Michigan coaching tombstone will read: never developed a serviceable qb.

That Morris can't start over the train wreck gardner has become is pretty damning. And for some reason mich doesn't employ a qb coach

 

[MentalDisabldLst]

...well, that escalated quickly.

 

[Fred in Lynn]

Wow. What a clutch FG.

 

[canderson]

Holy shit GT made a 53 yd FG to re it.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Man, was I premature, Georgia Tech tied it , OT coming.

 

[Fred in Lynn]

How did they get into FG range so quickly after the UGa TD?

 

[Fred in Lynn]

Good by less than a yard.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Good by less than a yard.

Announcer said "that would have been good from 53 1/2". Good sense of humor. 

 

[RedOctober3829]

This UGA GT game is nuts. Marc Richt squib kick fucked them over.

 

[MentalDisabldLst]

Jim Hackett looks like he's phoning around for his next job.

 

[MentalDisabldLst]

Wish I could watch that UGA-GT game.  If ESPN owns the SEC Network, how in the heck do I not get it with every other ESPN channel in my package?

 

[soxhop411]

“@ProFootballDoc: JT BARRETT @OhioStAthletics :
Bad News: ankle fracture/dislocation=surgery, out for season (no bowl game)
Good News: full recovery for 2015”

 

[twibnotes]

Jim Hackett looks like he's phoning around for his next job.

Hopefully he is emailing someone who is good at coaching college football

 

[RedOctober3829]

Special teams gt

"Dear Rex Ryan,
 
I know, right?  Totally unfair!  Listen, you should think about visiting sometime, we've got a great Italian restaurant here in town..."

 

[RedOctober3829]

Can not get the extra pt blocked. Inexcusable
