The conference schedule is manageable (no OSU, Oregon, or Indiana). Non-conference has games against Notre Dame and Pitt. They might be able to pull off a 6-6 record and get to a bowl game. I think McIntosh's ego will make him retain Fickell for at least another year saying they are headed in the right direction.

Greg, I sent him the opportunity to win what I believe is a historical golf pencil as well as gifting a Flag Destroyer auto. I PM’d him and heard nothing in response until I mentioned his name in this thread.

After his name was mentioned about disappearing after talking so loudly, he then PM’d me. The moderators and even assujbl know who started becoming vocal AFTER the game was decided. Assujbl is probably a great person but don’t be one of those clowns who talks cr@p without backing it up. If you wish to keep PM’ing me about Michigan only wins with Stallions then you are talking just as loud as putting a free golf pencil and a donation on the line.

You can do better than ^.

Didn't see the game as I was at the shelter all day, nice to see that Michigan couldn't cover the 10 points as predicted. Go Blue lol.

Please provide a true answer

How does anybody miss what everybody else can clearly see was a game changing call. I don’t believe you have ever heard the word momentum or jinxed or snake-bit. An avalanche for a football team begins with one mistake (INT), compounded by the next mistake ( 7 oppprtunities inside the 3 with a false start to end TD opportunity) then another (Smith turning the ball over to Michigan with zero points). After that, it may have remained exactly the same but neither of us will ever know.

My answer : Momentum and self doubt are part of the game.

So you finally answer and you go with snide childish insults, bravo. Ive been around and played sports all my life. I know what momentum is. Like no one is agreeing with you, that this was some avalanche from that one call changed the whole game. You completely missed my point because you only see that one call!! Ohio State had the same opportunity to fold and they didn't! Period! Michigan walked away from 3 straight trips to OSU territory with only 9 points period! They could've easily had 17 as i said earlier. Then even with that "rigged" call the game is different. I get your hate but man you make it hard to have a legit conversation when you refuse to address other pieces of the puzzle. Take a deep breathe its football. Michigan had 39.yards in the 2nd half that had nothing to do with a rigged call. I don't know.what else to say, but I won't resort to a petty insult conversation. Its just a game

I will only agree with you one thing that momentum and what you call self doubt is a part of the game, but before this that is the first time you have mentioned the other missed opportunities Michigan had with the game. You've chosen to die on the hill of one call.

I hate to break it to you. Not one football game in the history of football has ever been lost or won on one play.

[Chris Lyle]

Love the logic Ohio State we will never know if they were resilient because of a bad call
Michigan cant over come the one call and some choose to acknowledge that they had the same chances to be resilient but they weren't they had the pick off got 3 it's, missed opportunity, they drove down the field and had to settle for another short field goal missed opportunity, had another drive in a row I believe into FG range and stalled. If Michigan would've overcome they could habe scored at least 17 points that had nothing to.do with the Smith call. And Michigan held OSU for a good while so regardless of that call game should have been different regardless. Then suddenly that covers for the lack of offense in the 2nd half, yes I will admit Marshall went out so.that changed things but only 39 yards speaks for itself

Exactly. You’re wrong. We get it, you can’t handle the loss of the buckeyes stomping your team. It happens. You guys had a good run. Just admit defeat and say good game and move on like Hairy did.

Rough times for stifle and snoobs.

An avalanche is a combination of miscues. Right off the bat you state that an avalanche was JUST the Smith turnover. What about the 2nd play of the game for OSU, what about having 7 attempts inside the 3 yard line only for a self inflicted false start and then came the self inflicted Smith turnover. Enough trying to deny that the game was as secure as the ending looked.

Somebody made the call in the booth to save Ohio State from its early implosion. You may want to disagree but we all know what occurred on the first three drives which had a game changing call that the players, coaches and fans could clearly see. Ohio State probably didn’t need to be bailed out but they were. That is the bottom line, they were bailed out from who knows what happens after that?

The three highest TV viewership for BCCG’s (John Lewis, Sports Media Watch) : were with Ohio State in 13, 17 & 19.

Did the call suck? Yes. Do we know how the rest of the game would have played out if it was ruled a touchback? No. Do we know what happened the rest of the way regardless? Yes.

I know you despise Ohio State. You made that clear last year during their playoff run. I hate them probably as much as you, but just not as vocal. I was one of the first to give them props for winning the first 12-team CFP because they had to beat four top-10 teams in a row. They may very well do it again this year and as much as I would hate to see it, that would be damn impressive.

Trust me when I say this, it's a lot easier to let go of your hate and not worry about things you can't control versus letting it consume you 24/7.

FWIW, even the Big 10 is running away from that atrocious call. Their official excuse is they didn’t have the camera angles that we at home did - which sure sounds like BS to me but at least they’re not defending the call.

That is a bs statement. Every game I have ever watched since replay was instituted told us the replay officials have more camera angles/views than the home viewers. It's definitely rigged.

Sometimes things go your way, sometimes they don't. Michigan was outplayed for the final three quarters of the game yesterday.

Exactly, Michigan got outplayed. They were the inferior team. It happens

[asujbl]

We really need to discuss more how that referee basically told Michigan to stop flopping for penalties. Not sure I’ve ever seen that before

I enjoyed it

Their cheat game has taken a dive recently. I’m trying to figure out why.

[asujbl]

How long until Underwood transfers back to LSU to play for Kiffin?

You can tell he hates playing at Michigan. He only wanted the money

It is very odd how that happened

Im officially done with this conversation. You hate Ohio State. You are delusional to think that one call made the game and that it was all rigged.

If Michigan takes advantage of the opportunities they were given and score Tds at least instead of 3 fgs then that call.doesnt really matter and then the rest of the game goes and its still an OSU win, because Michigan did nothing the 2nd half.. I hate Michigan probably as much as you hate OSU, but I can at least be objective. I truly hope you can get over this its just a game in the end

For the record you only wanted to talk about the call and the rigged game, I've continually brought up other factors that had nothing to do with the refs and you've refused to talk about those for the most part. Your hatred and frustration is making you a little delusional at this point

Some of us understand this. Others either wait until someone else can fight our fight for us or hide for months at a time.
