2023 Michigan Football

[Shinzaki]

That Maryland WR needs to be more aware and move towards that ball when the QB throws it

[MIguy]

Michigan gonna screw around and go three and out just to give Maryland another chance and raise my blood pressure even more.  

[Tigerbomb13]

Looked like a pretty clear call to me. No receiver anywhere near the ball.

I think they got the memo to run

[romad1]

Go for it.

[MIguy]

Whip out the triple option.  

[romad1]

woof

Earlier...John U Bacon was telling people they could go out and mow the lawn.

[romad1]

Victory formation!

[romad1]

The closest game of the year (so far)

[romad1]

Win 1000!  SUCK ON THAT haters!

[MichiganCardinal]

Never a doubt. 🥱

Announcer with a preview of what to expect next week; "Michigan against The World Famous Ohio State Buckeyes"

[MichiganCardinal]

Iowa is nothing if not predictable.

[buddha]

you dont show anything in the game before the game.  they looked terrible against illinois last year too.

worry about the things we should have been worried about all year:

michigan's offensive tackles

no super athletic receivers

pedestrian pass rush

only one really athletic cornerback

ohio state's receivers

[buddha]

and this year worry about not having one of the best coaches in football on the sideline.

[romad1]

Sherrone Moore no more tears.

Can I just say the Game promo on Fox using the Eisenhower speech...reminds me of the UFR for the offense from the 2021 game that Seth Fisher wrote.  It was a masterpiece.

The Harbaugh suspension is an issue. Michigan didn't look as good against East Carolina, UNLV, Bowling Green, Penn St. (yes) and Maryland than they did against Rutgers, Nebraska, Purdue, Michigan St. and Indiana. I don't think it is a complete coincidence.

Yeah, it’s a concern.

[MichiganCardinal]

I expect an extremely close game. Michigan is the better team, but playing without their head coach matters.

i guess we have different ideas on what the "long term institutional objectives" of the university of michigan are.

 

but to your exact point, involvement in for what are becoming for all intents and purposes professional sports, is simply one more step in the wrong direction from where they need to be going.

actually I thought the ball was thrown exactly on line to where the receive was - just way short. If I were Maryland I wouldn't like to lose a game on that call.

I’m pretty sure they changed the interpretation of intentional grounding a few years ago. They don’t want officials officiating intent anymore. Oxymoronic when ruling on intentional grounding. But if he’s (a) in the pocket, (b) not hit such as to impact an otherwise legal throw, and (c) the ball isn’t within ~7 yards of the nearest eligible receiver, they want the flag thrown.

They used to “forgive” QBs who weren’t under pressure and threw to a spot where no one was, because the receiver ran the wrong route. For better or worse that’s no longer the case.
