RR is kind of revered down there. I think Ole Miss is another option.

I heard there's one more job opening up.

Have to worry about UM this weekend and now my PSU, my hometown, is under fire haha I need the NBA to come back college sports too stressful haha.

I'm really jonesing over no NBA. It hurts bad. About the Michigan game. If we accept the narrative that Michigan struggles vs physical teams (MSU, Iowa, etc), then it would appear that Illinois is just what we need--a finesse team we can out-finesse. We out-finessed Purdue, a team that basically dominated Illinois, and we out-finessed NW, a team that damn near beat Illinois and perhaps would have if Persa didn't go down in the 4th. I don't see why we can't do the same thing against Illinois. Our defense is a lot better than last year, and our offense is still pretty potent when it's not facing those "physical" teams. Superficially speaking, Illinois doesn't look much improved from last year. Anyways, I'm just gonna say it (everyone be ready to role your eyes):

I feel the same way, but for some reason I thought you were a ND fan, saw you in there alot. I was really impressed by Borges play calling early on but I really think hes taking Denard out of the game too much, since Denard is basically our only weapon lol.

Die hard Michigan fan my whole sports life since 1988. The ND confusion is understandable. I'm what you would call a mercenary ND fan this year. I bet $500 before the season on ND over 9, and I made another bet with a 2+2er on ND over 8 (after ND started 0-2). So yeah I've been in there cheering for ND quite a bit this season (I still have a chance to break even on my big bet if ND runs the table and lol beats Stanford). Even without the money, I'm definitely not an ND hater or anything. I do think college football is better when they're good, but that's probably just nostalgia speaking since in my formative years as a sports fan ND was awesome.

About Borges: Yeah I'm in agreement with others that his play calling in the MSU and Iowa game was not good, to put it lightly. There was a few times Denard clearly had a running lane vs Iowa and he didn't take it and passed instead, so you know Borges is getting inside his head. I can only hope that's corrected because we can't beat NEB or Ohio St unless Denard is very aggressive and doing what he does best. IOW we better run a lot more ZR in those games or it's over. And denard better be coached up to run more on passing plays. Also, like others have mentioned, not rolling Denard out on the goal line vs Iowa was downright criminal. And of course the biggest play this season where Borges clearly didn't play to Denard's strengths was that 4th and inches (or perhaps a half a yard) call vs MSU, which IMO is the worst call EVER in the history of Michigan football.

Ok haha sry for the mix-up, I grew up in PSU but moved to Michigan awhile back and my mom has liked UM since i was born basically and I started liking them to support her( even thou I found out last year she didn't know what "downs" were lol moms)

Yea I think there afraid of what happened last year when RR ran Denard into the ground and he was constantly getting hurt. like against IOWA I think it was denard completed like b2b passes and then they bring in Gardner??? wtf lets break up his rhythm lol. I mean Denard runs a 4.2 40 ffs let him run, I remember a few games ago they showed that he had like 80+ runs of 10 yds or more since the start of last season, it was like 15 more then ORE's James so obv. UM should focus more on him getting his runs in, even thou every team always has a spy or 2 on him it seems to prevent against the big plays.

I think Borges is in denards head a bit trying to get him to constantly throw it when he has 7-10 yd lanes. I mean I've been a UM fan for along time but really got behind them when Shoelace came onto the scene haha. hopefully they end strong really like Hoke wnat to see him do good.

Everything I have read from observers is that the coaches want Denard to take off if a pass isn't there, but he only runs on designed plays.

I would run him to death.

i mean this seems like the smack you in the face option from the body of work that Borges has in front of him......not doing so from the various successful formations that have worked from a decent amount of tape is turrible. But f it let's keep that arm lose and throwing the rock and lose these last three games.

OSU gets failure to monitor

LOL giving up 5 scholarships over 3 years. Gene Smith must be the dumbest mother****er on Earth.

They picked a hell of a good week to have to deal with that.

Now once ND, Nebraska, Wisconsin and Sparty all find some way to implode spectacularly, we'll be looking goooooooood.

iowa tho

Yeah I'm hoping we can still find a way to get 10 wins. 10-3 just sounds so pretty. But in order to accomplish that we basically have to beat Illinois this week, and we prolly have to beat Neb because our final two games (Ohio state + bowl) will probably be more difficult. About Ohio state: I can't believe I'm saying this again--especially after the way the season began--but I don't see how we can beat them. Their offense is no longer a 3rd trimester abortion, it's actually quite functional now, and their defense is downright scary and should shut us down (back to that "we can't handle physical teams" problem). OSU should be a 7 point favorite even though we have them at home. About the bowl game: All I know is if we play an SEC team we're probably ****ed. Anyways, if we can find a way to go 2-2 from here on out, this will be a really successful season in my mind, so that's what I'm hoping for. If we somehow go 3-1 over that span then Hoke = God imo.

Looks like you just might win one, I think it's a good bet.

I hope so. I'm going "all in" this weekend. I got $525 to win $500 on Michigan -1 (so gay that the line changed to Mich +1 on 5dimes) and I got $550 to win $500 on Miss St +18. If I lose both bets I'm ****ed, If I lose one I'm fine, If I win both life is awesome and I'm gonna celebrate by getting an Asian massage with a happy ending some time next week! (Just recently found an awesome place in Westland)

Not sure what to expect in that Miss St game, I can see a few different scenarios, good luck with both.

PS - You sound just like a friend of mine when we used to bet almost 10 years ago, he would go to a parlor but I would get coke. LOL.

Name of place?

Place doesn't have a name. It's an apartment with an Asian woman who apparently lives there. I can PM you the number if you want. (Also, to correct myself, the place is not in Westland, it's in Wayne.

Here we go!

Note to Borges:

Wind at 25mph, RUN THE ****ING ZR!

what channel is this game on. I can't find it

Edit: nvm found it

abc

looks like we ran a trap with zr look, like that.

booo ya

**** yeah!!! Wish Fitz was faster but I'll take it.
