Re: Week 8 Discussion

So apparently Jimbo Fisher had words with a fan(s) after the game yesterday

Re: Week 8 Discussion

I love Harbaugh, but is it possible he's one of those coaches with a ceiling? He did a fantastic job turning Stanford around. He did a fantastic job turning the 49ers around. He's done a fantastic job turning Michigan around. But that next step seems to allude him.

And his teams seem to come up short in big games. The 49ers didn't fare well against the Seahawks with him; Michigan hasn't fared well against its rivals. And as a 49ers fan, I still feel like we let at least one NFC championship and a Super Bowl get away.

Just to put this season in perspective...

Re: Week 8 Discussion

Michigan never deserved to be ranked as highly as it was this season. The media had an agenda and everyone bought in. Realistically, this was going to be a down year, and you could see it from a mile away. Michigan fans just don't look at things that way. That said an 8-4 season would still be pretty good in arguably the toughest division/conference in the country. 4 top 25 teams, 2 playoff contenders, a decent Indiana team, Rutgers showing signs of life, etc. But, that'll never be enough for Walvie fans.

It's been everyone in here but Michigan fans acting surprised at the results of this season....

Re: Week 8 Discussion

I disagree, 3 weeks ago you guys were thinking about the playoff.

Lol, don't most decent teams think about playoffs?

Re: Week 8 Discussion

I'd say if you were objective about your team, you never should have been thinking playoffs. But, you guys bought into the Hargod narrative.

We're in better shape than you are and I have never thought of this team as a top 10 team, let alone a playoff team. That's the difference between our fanbases. We see things realistically.

Well that's because Michigan State isn't a Top 10 team or a playoff team. It isn't just Michigan State fans that don't see your team that way.

Re: Week 8 Discussion

That's cool, I was just giving an example. I'm sure you guys think you're better than us still despite the punishment you have taken from us in all but the two years we were awful. It must have been the rain this year.

I don't know who this "you guys" is that you speak of. Michigan State hasn't done **** against LSU.

And y'all have 3 wins in 16 years against Ohio State, so "you guys" doesn't apply there either.

Lol, the guy above you has you quoted in his signature as a bandwagon Michigan fan.

Yeah, I realize that. He did that because I said I was Ohio State fan. Which I am. And an LSU fan, and a Texas Tech fan, and an Oklahoma fan, and a Washington fan. I can't remember what year that quote is from (I'm sure Shiz can help me out) but I was young and foolish.

As far as I'm concerned, if Michigan wins next week, they'll be in sole possession of 4th place of the division, which is fantastic.
