Michigan better figure out how to get a stop because they aren't going to keep pace.

[frnk55]

I thought Michigan and Ohio liked each other?

[Lathum]

Wow. Lots of punches thrown.

[frnk55]

And he flips the fans 2 birds.

[Lathum]

That was. Amusing. Especially since i am in a bar in Ohio.

[Suicane75]

I get that punches thrown= ejections but for the love of pete, Michigan was ripping off helmets and throwing punches for like 10 seconds before Ohio State started throwing em back. Not sure what you're supposed to do when you're punched, have your helmet ripped off and are still being swung at.

I really didn't see Michigan throw any punches. #52 ripped off the helmet and was ejected for it. If they just pushed back instead of throwing a punch it'd be nothing.

It does seem like there should have been more ejections.

[General Mike]

Flood must go.

[Kodos]

C'mon, Michigan!

[sterlingice]

C'mon, Kansas? Ok, yeah, no one else is watching that game

SI

[HomerSimpson98]

I'm not sure if the Gator offense could score against Booker T. HS.

[tarcone]

We got our rivalry win yesterday. And got Pelini fired up. That guy is a tool. Placing some blame on the media for their 8 win season. Really? I cant believe Nebby is going to keep him around. I guess he hasnt embarassed them enough yet.

Yeah, but they could score against Rutgers.

[mauchow]

Man, Minnesota just can't do anything right. Mistake after mistake after mistake (I know MSU's D is the cause of some of it..). A missed holding call in the end zone a few drives ago made it 3rd and Long for the Goophers before they missed a field goal. Should have been first and goal.. and then a fumble in the red zone again just now and now it's pretty much over.

All comes down to next week...MSU and OSU. MSU wins and Wisconsin gets no bid to the BCS; OSU wins WI likely to get bid over MSU in any bowl but the Rose Bowl

[tarcone]

Im hoping, and this sickens me to say, that Wiscy gets a BCS bid. That means Iowa gets the Outback.

[tarcone]

Duke FG. Up by 2 now with 2:22 left in the game.

[tarcone]

I really thought Ohio would blow Michigan out. This is kind of a shock to me.

Me, too. I haven't even been watching. Enjoyed a game of Suburbia with my son while my wife watches her employer play Minnesota.

UM/OSU day used to be the biggest holiday of the year with me. But a two-touchdown underdog at home and I just can't stomach it.

[mauchow]

What's interesting (well, maybe not for most of you) is that a Michigan win today may help the Badgers. Will the BCS Bowls take OSU over Wisconsin if OSU lost two in a row to end the season?

[miked]

Nice, another huge game to an opposing QB (75% completion, 300+ yards) and one more loss from not being in a bowl for the first time in about a decade. If this loss can't send Flood home, combined with the eventual decommits after this game, I don't know what will. This is not the way you get recruits and fans excited about Big10 play.

[mauchow]

Kickers..... all you do is practice KICKING all day long. HOW DO YOU SHANK A KICK STRAIGHT OUT OF BOUNDS? Aye, aye, aye.

They shouldn't let Flood on the bus home, and I'd say the same about several other coaches, but I don't know if it's feasible to let that many assistants go with a game left.

[Lathum]

Michigan has to go for two here if they score.

[frnk55]

Cripes. Nice play.

[bhlloy]

Seems like a bad play call to me... got to use Gardner's mobility rather than just forcing it into coverage

[Lathum]

Agree. OSU hasn't stopped the run all day from the goal line.

[Solecismic]

A fitting end to a terrible season. I wish we could turn down whatever bowl seeps up from the sewage of corporate sponsorship.

[Noop]

Florida State has me in awe. This whole season I have waited for them to look like the Seminoles of old.

Hopefully we beat Duke and get a chance to play against Alabama or Ohio State for it all.

[Bobble]

Michigan played a very good game today but that's not a #3 defense that Ohio State is sporting. #3 offense? Yes. The pass defense, yikes.

[Noop]

I admire the boldness of Michigan's play call. Although it didn't work out it was still the right call in my opinion.

[Solecismic]

"Woody Hayes, why did you go for two at the end of the game?"

- "Because you can't go for three."

"Brady Hoke, why did you go for two at the end of the game?"

- "Because our defense couldn't have stopped them from getting touchdowns every time they touched the ball even if we could have gotten into overtime."

Yeah, right call. But for a very bad reason. And not the kind of statement Jabrill Peppers wants to hear right now.

[bob]

I'm not sure who's more shocked right now - GT or UGA fans.

Either way, 17-0 GT after the first quarter.

Edit: I hope GT smells blood and keeps being aggressive instead of turtling into a stupid option run only shell.

[bob]

Also, we have the Auburn / Bama game on on the 2nd, much smaller tv. What was going on with that Bama punt that they kept replaying?

I don't know if I'm afraid to exhale or afraid to inhale.

[bob]

GT's excellent bend and then break defense gives UGA a quick, easy touchdown at the end of the half. UGA gets the ball to start the 2nd half. GT fans are queasy already.

The queasiness increased as far back as having to settle for the field goal following the long drive. Everything else you mentioned just made it worse.

[JonInMiddleGA]

Dang, maybe Auburn shouldn't have gotten Bama upset?

[bob]

Agreed with having to settle for the FG - in reality, lucky to get that. Not sure how Uga didn't recover that fumble.

The punter dropped the ball, picked it up amd then punted it. #42 on Auburn hit the ball as the P dropped it the 2nd time to kick it. Causing a line drive. The PRer was yelling :Get away" and waving at his players, causing the ref to call it a fair catch.

[Atocep]

Scary to think the numbers Charles Sims would have put up this year if WVU had an offensive line.

[CU Tiger]

Damn GT....play some kind of D. These CBs look lost...
and there is a UGA TD as I type...but there was a major hold on the outside there by UGA

[tarcone]

PsU beating Wiscy, 21-14 half way throught the 3rd.

[bob]

Tech needs to do something with this next drive.

[tarcone]

switch to ESPN quick.

PsU blitzes, knocks the ball out of the QBs hands, catch in the air and the guy runs it for about 40 yards.
