James Madison finally got stopped by Monroe. Am I the only one that finds that funny?

I didn't understand any of that James Madison shit to begin with

Players sitting out and transferring any moment now.

Wonder if Will Johnson and Loveland stick it out if there is another loss. Both are banged up and they are projected top 20 picks?

This is pretty cool. Also glad Tito is well enough to take the job. Dude is a baseball junkie and for my money the best manager of this century.

We need to become a team that can start fast. I really don't want to have them hanging around at halftime regardless of the final score.

If it's not 28-0 at the end of the 1st HEADS MUST ROLL!!!1!!!1!!!

How will the CFB world react when the B1G wins 2 natties in a row

Yeah I was joking.

I get that I haven't been around as much as I used to be but crimony.

I haven't followed that closely, is the idiot that pulled the trigger on the Watson trade still there? I'm sure it was Haslam making the call front top too, but somebody had to rubber stamp it. That trade is a disaster like I've never seen before.

It’s a late afternoon game there. 4:30 kickoff.

7:30 EST I thought.

Pretty cool what $20 million gets you. Now go beat the SEC.

How much tv money has Iowa made in the last decade because they're in the same conference as Ohio State? What the fuck are you doing with all that money if not investing in a winner? Seems to me the other B1G schools should seriously look at appropriation of funds or they might find themselves on the outside looking in

Season ain't over yet

This post is a week old: This did not age well, but I don’t want to call anyone out so I omitted the identity of the OP. This isn’t personal; just making a point about the board in general

They aren’t rolling into Columbus with 10 wins. That ship has sailed.

The only way they roll into the ‘Shoe with 9 wins is if they go undefeated from here, which includes beating Oregon

The point here is that, if you find yourself at odds with most of the board, maybe it’s not because the rest of us are overly optimistic.

Apologies. Got a bit carried away there.

As for Michigan, I really thought they had the answer with just saying "we're going single wing, leather helmet football." Washington loosing to Wazoo and Rutgers added to my confidence. They rose up from the dead for this game. Cryin' Sharon must have lost his confidence in the run game at that point. He panicked at down 14 points and benched Orji for a 7th year senior (!!!!). For a while, I thought he'd found the answer but then Tuttle began to play like a seven-year back up.

Maybe Illinois will exceed my expectations, but I still think Michigan can beat them. We also don't know that much about Oregon. Beating Idaho, Boise State, UCLA, and Michigan State doesn't tell us much about them.

Tight race at the top!

Coaches deserve all the critique they are going to get after this one. Late in the 4th quarter and driving with the ball, and then the Bengals put in a just-injured running back and hand it off to him for a loss of 2 yards. False start to lose another 5 yards on Orlando Brown, who was shocked to be called for something he had done countless times in Kansas City without penalty, and then throw a pick on an obvious passing down. That was where the Bengals could and should have put the game away in regulation.

As to overtime, there are no sufficient words. Just loser mentality to not even attempt to move the ball forward to make it at least an easier field goal attempt. Bad snap, and even worse hold. That miss was not on McPherson.

Was it a bad snap or a bad hold? Nobody has said ?

Here's some excellent advice to recruits considering scUM:

Michigan football players seek to avoid 'spiral' after two-score loss at Washington​

The Wolverines got honest about the current state of the team after falling to 4-2.​

"This game doesn't define us," Graham told reporters after the game. "We control our own destiny. If we just win the rest of the games on our schedule, we're going to be in a good place. It's just about staying together. We can't let this break our team apart and spiral into something this team shouldn't be. I'm just looking forward to the next opportunity, taking this bye week and then getting back to business."

Tight end Colston Loveland shared a similar sentiment: "We need to stay together, stay in the building and put in more hours. We need to watch more films, go harder in practice and just do better in every aspect of our life when it comes to football."

Loveland refused to blame the quarterback play or the defense for the loss. The veteran pass-catcher said both sides of the ball have "a lot" to clean up during the team's bye this week.

"Obviously, we have a lot of s*** to clean up on both sides of the ball," Loveland said. "It looked like they wanted it more. They made more plays when their name was called. We just have to make plays and keep the stick moving. We need to work on details and execution."
.

"The first three drives, that's really who we are," Tuttle said. "The back half, we just missed some opportunities. Personally, I just got to be better at protecting the ball. I can't fumble. I can't do that. That's completely on me. I can't put the team and the defense in that situation. On the last drive, I can't put the ball in danger. That's it. We are a really freaking good team. I don't think this should have happened at all. It is frustrating, and I'll do everything I can to make sure it doesn't happen again."

Just sayin':
