UM needs to find an up and comer who has won somewhere. Winning is contagious and transferable. JH hasn’t that ability.

To beat these teams you have to be able to stop the run & get pressure with your front 4. That allows you to not be manned up on the very athletic receivers. Michigan’s thin DL this year was one of the major reasons we lost to Wisky & OSU. Penn State out schemed our defensive coordinator. That’s why we lost that game. (& because Bell dropped the game tying pass that any 3rd Grader would have caught 99x out of 100). Anyways....our offense will show well against Bama. Our O is actually pretty good right now. I think Mazi Smith & his bulk should get some significant time in this game. We need some bulk. I guess we will see....Big35Hurthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01270357748463801431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068822035923402169.post-71253158115289718442019-12-31T21:49:04.908-05:002019-12-31T21:49:04.908-05:00Well thought out "Voice of Reason"....Cl...Well thought out "Voice of Reason"....Clemson did't have the number 1 recruiting class for past several years...its the coaching and talent of coaches they have on their coaching staff made all the difference....for example...play calling on offense and defense, decisions on football field, and killer instinct they have...now that I compare our team with these playoff teams we are no where near them at all....fire Don Brown please....I liked some things from Josh Gattis...hopefully, he can improve next year...MichiganManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06320044582129117283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068822035923402169.post-10046748656475322712019-12-31T21:47:01.859-05:002019-12-31T21:47:01.859-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.MichiganManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06320044582129117283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068822035923402169.post-13400601502393438122019-12-31T20:09:19.072-05:002019-12-31T20:09:19.072-05:00Let me confess, I am older than the average Michig...Let me confess, I am older than the average Michigan alumni today. I remember when Bo Schembechler was the new coach and I remember "Touch down" Billy Taylor. I remember watching freshman QB Rick Leach, RB Rob Lytle, WR Anthony Carter, QB Jim Harbaugh, and so forth. However, what I remember the most during that era was that when Michigan played osu or usc or any other team we "expected" to win. We didn't always win but each of our opponents knew when it was over that they were in a football game, and osu's hatred of us was well deserved. <br /><br />Now for the past couple of years osu has found themselves in our heads. A couple of those games we (IMO) should have and could have won. Now when each time I read a post or listen to a podcast it's about can we beat the mighty osu buckeyse. I am not much of a star gazer but when I looked through the recruiting classes the last few years Michigan's recruiting has been very good, in fact I believe last year we were the top class in the B1G conference. Clemson has been in a similar ball park (ish) like Michigan and they have done fairly well and yet when they played osu in their previous playoff game they blew the doors off of osu. Why? amongst other things, osu wasn't in their heads, they expected to beat osu which is my point. <br /><br />Now we're facing Alabama and our kids are saying "I'm not scared of Alabama," which tells me that they are scared of Alabama, and everyone is predicting a train wreck for Michigan in this game because we're facing big bad Alabama. Now Alabama is in our heads. We don't expect to win and we won't with that attitude no matter how good we are. Then why go play? We should have declined the Citrus Bowl and played the little sisters of the poor to secure a win. <br /><br />Yes, Alabama just might win, yes, Alabama has a boat load of NFL talent on their roster, yes, Alabama just maybe the most talented team not to make the playoffs, but I for one am expecting Michigan to show up and play their asses off and win this game, we're not Rich Rod's or Brady Hoke's teams we have some real talent on this team. Plus, the betting line has Alabama only a touch down favorite which indicates that they are expecting a close game.<br /><br />Earlier this year I stated that this would be a transition year for the Michigan offense because they have a new offensive system and a OC that's never called a play before this year. That was my way of saying that this offense was going to struggle and lose some games ugly because of it...and they did. We're still in the transition year but Michigan is a whole lot better now than when they played MTS. We've got some real good kids on our roster as well and if they can clear this "ITS ALABAMA" crap out of their heads then they just might make you proud as well. PS, fwiw, I'm already proud of my football team and coaches IMHO!!! <br /><br />Happy New Year!Voice of Reasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09249702271701679486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068822035923402169.post-91236844647088963312019-12-31T15:26:25.612-05:002019-12-31T15:26:25.612-05:00Bob stop making excuses for us we get top 10 recru...Bob stop making excuses for us we get top 10 recruits every year and we are garbage... sometimes you need a good coach to direct the players in the right direction... clearly we don't have a good coach...<br /><br />Blue for Life!!MichiganManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06320044582129117283noreply@blogger.com
