What grade would you give your favorite team's season? Why?

[Wamu]

Hence the A MINUS and not A. Hard to grade a top 6 team below that.

Had UofM beaten Ohio State they go to the Playoff instead of the Buckeyes. Because they can't beat their main rival, didn't win their division or the conference there's no way (other than again...being biased) can Harbaugh's Crew get that high of a grade. Do you even realize they really didn't accomplish any of their preseason goals? Only a 100% homer would say falling short of their goals would still equal an A-.

Q

 

[Clayton]

F.

+Run Game is really good
+Oline better than I thought
+No protests

-Defense was awful
-Special Teams were awful
-Inability to control the clock with a good run game
-Beat up on cupcakes to make stats artificially good
-Probably the 4th or 5th worst Power Conference team.
-No bowl game and still lost a top player to the draft.
-Not convinced they have a QB that can run the system but he shows enough flashes to keep the job

 

[Phantom]

F- There are no words for losing to Kansas.

 

[WABLTY]

I was gonna say F, but I've seen worse and injuries were pretty ridiculous. Our 4th string QB saw real, actual playing time. Still, the offensive line is awful even when healthy and we were the worst tackling team in the country, which consequently lead to being the worst pass defense in the country. Can't stop the pass, can't run the ball to slow the game down. Bad combination.

C since we lost a game we should've won by 30+ points in the BIG championship. We were up by 21 points and then shut it down on offense and on defense their hobbit of a QB just chucked shit up for grabs that the DB's would've easily picked off if they just turn their heads around but they didn't and couldn't make one simple adjustment. We should've beat OSU as we were up 16-6 at half and completely owning them but choked in that game as well. If we lose to Western Michigan then I would drop it from a C to a D.

I've noticed this is the running theme in your analysis of your teams. Maybe you just need to find new teams that don't suck.

 

[Montalban]

An A- for USC because of being too slow to dump their ineffective QB which cost them two games. SC is probably the only team in the country that can play with Alabama right now.

 

[gohusk]

B+ No matter how the playoffs come out, year ahead of schedule couldn't have asked for a better run...

How you give them a B+ then? I give them an A- just for coming out so fucking flat against USC.

 

[AlaskaGuy]

B+ or A- ... or somewhere in between.

Falling just short of your goal of 100% perfection is, by definition, an A-.

 

[KnightAndDay]

They did better than last year but that's not saying much.


Offensive line is shit, too many turnovers, defense is inconsistent, and way too many blown halftime leads.


C-

Okay but they can still raise it to an A+ if they #shocktheworld!

Only in your mind though. It wouldn't surprise me if they beat FSU you'd bump that grade up to an A+. The again you really think UofM & Harbaugh are perfect & even when they fall short of their goals it's still worthy of that high of a grade. Hell Ohio State had a better regular season than UofM & I wouldn't give them an A- for what they did.

C

As in "C is for Challenger Explosion"

Everything looked great at first and then BOOM. It exploded

 

[TexasExes98]

F- There are no words for losing to Kansas.

We're so bad we didn't even deserve an F-. Is there anything you can give that's worse than an F-?

 

[Brasky]

It's an F every time until they win a conference championship again.

 

[7Samurai13]

We're so bad we didn't even deserve an F-. Is there anything you can give that's worse than an F-?

Z- like Michigan State.

 

[MAIZEandBLUE09]

An A-.... UofM got upset by Iowa & once again couldn't beat Ohio State. Finished 3rd in their own division & still give 'em an A-. Classic!

Wasn't the goal to beat Ohio State (failed), win the division (failed) & win the conference crown (failed)?
