Game Thread: #2 Ohio State vs. #8 Penn State - FOX 12:00PM

[MAIZEandBLUE09]

Sure you don't go over the top pimping up Harbaugh. Yet this all got started yesterday when I reminded you Day won a division title before Harbuagh. But knowing you you'll say you never said that. That's the game you play. Never taking accountability for your own comments.

It's hilarious how you hug on Harbaugh's balls 24/7 yet think you're not a homer. And like I said find some comments of mine where I have ever overly pimped up Ohio State. Why won't you do that? If you're so certain I have done what you're claiming it should be easy for you to back your incorrect nonsense up.


"I don't think I go over the top pimping up Harbaugh"

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Of course you don't. Maybe the funniest & most incorrect things you've ever said.

I'm sorry you don't understand jokes.

This is loser talk. "The ball just hasn't bounced our way", that's what losers say. Not elite programs. I know you'll complain about 2016 until the cows come home, but that should not have been a game decided by 1 play. You had a team filled with upperclassmen, many who were drafted, while we were dealing with a mass exodus of elite talent to the NFL that has not been seen often in college football history. You should've beaten us by 21 that day, but your shit coach couldn't get it done.

That's what it boils down to. Maybe you guys beat us Saturday, maybe you don't. But if you don't, the endless chorus of excuses has to end at some point. Again, you are michigan. You're not some fledgling program without a history, or money, or resources.

So many of the fan base have come down to this.

Even if Michigan wins this Saturday, they still do not go to the B1GC game nor CFP.

I'm sorry you don't understand jokes.

And I'm sorry you can't see how much of a homer you are. It was funny when you said you don't think you're a homer though.

Joel Klatt is the biggest clown of all time. Spent his first few years blasting the BIG and now they are on FOX he slobs on them

You pay me what they are paying Klatt and I will talk up any team you ask me to.

 

[MAIZEandBLUE09]

Hahahaha.

Oh, Lord. I can't imagine being so pathetic that I would blame being 16-and-fucking-2 on bad luck.

I am seriously cracking up over here.

It's the only thing that makes sense. We've had 4 different coaches and the bounces keep going OSU's way. There's a long string of almosts that just have to end at some point. Leading in the final two minutes, only to let some OSU big play happen. Helmet to helmet hits that keep OSU drives alive. Dropped two point conversions. Controversial 1st down/4th down stop calls. To have none of them go our way is just hard to accept but it has to stop at some point. The ball has to bounce our way once.

Maybe in your little fucking pea brain.

I made a joke, you don't understand the joke, take your misunderstanding as me being overly supportive of Harbaugh and trashing Day and then label me a homer. So, like most things on this site, you're just a confused old person using the internet.

You only claim you're joking after you get backed into a corner. You do that all the time. It's easier for you to tell yourself you're joking when you get called out for your nonstop homerism.

And I'm still waiting for you to provide some proof that I overly pimp up Ohio State. Why won't you back your claim up? Come on, prove you aren't talking directly outta your ass (like you alwsy do).

Ok, to end the PSU thread............ and I'm out after this and moving on to the skunk weasels to the North.

Nope. It was in fact the very next comment in that thread.

Wrong again. I have never overly pimped Ohio State up like you do with meeeechegan. Nice try.

It wasn't like the OSU team had no talent. You had 7 draft picks that year, we had 11, OSU had 3 first rounders. Both teams had 6 guys taken in the first 3 rounds, Michigan had 5 taken in the later rounds. And we played in Ohio and dealt with a litany of bullshit calls (or lack of) the entire game prior to that final moment. I call that game out because it came down to a moment. A moment in which a call went OSU's way; a team that seems to get those calls regularly. But it also happens to be in a long line of almosts for Michigan. Games where a ball bouncing our way, just once, changes this string of events.

Oh for fuck's sake. There were two calls that game that were "bad" and only one was actually egregious - the non-PI call. There was the Mike Weber play that could've been unnecessary roughness, but it had 0 bearing on the actual play. There are instances of unnecessary roughness that could be called in basically every game.

This is the point though. You just keep coming back to one game as if that would change the fortunes of everything. The only that would've done is make Harbaugh 1-3 instead of 0-4. With the veteran talent you had on that team, it should've been a win for you guys regardless of a couple of calls. Not only that, but OSU played like absolute shit that day and you still couldn't get it done.

Bottom line is, you are making excuses for a team that is spinning their tires with Harbaugh. If you enjoy going 10-3 every year, losing to OSU, and not making the CCG or the CFP, stick with him.

It's pathetic scUM fans will actually support one of the most overrated coaches in college football. The facts are he can almost never win the big games and he hasn't won any game against tOhio St. If you love 9-10 win season while losing every big game...he is the guy for you...if not, this guy needs to go. I hope he stays around for another 10 years tbh.

He's getting close to becoming a poor man's John Cooper - incredible recruiter, mediocre coach. Cooper had a great overall record at OSU, and even won some big bowl games. However, we knew we could do better, and it worked out great. Nobody could've seen us grabbing a 1-AA coach and becoming the force we became. Maybe michigan ought to take a look at NDSU's coach or something.

I don't enjoy it but I don't see anyone who'd come in and do better right now. We're in a rut that's hard to get out of, the talent gap is especially hard to overcome. OSU has a crazy amount of top 100 talent. We have to have a perfect scenario to take out a more talented OSU team in order to try and beat them on the recruiting trail.

Harbaugh is 2-2 vs. ranked teams this year and has blowout wins against our first two rivals, ND and MSU. But sure. He also blew out the B10 champ in 2016 and has wins against ranked teams every single year he's been here. if by "can't win big games" you mean OSU - then sure.

You have fallen to Wisconsin status.

michigan recruits just fine. You have a fantastic 4-year average, that's a BS excuse. This is year 5 for Harbaugh and you have a blowout loss to Wisconsin and another loss to PSU. His "potato salad" speech was one of the more pathetic things I've ever heard from a HC. He is in year 5; there should be no more excuses if he's actually the real deal. When it come to money and resources, michigan is at the top of the mountain with teams like OSU, Alabama, and Texas.

 

[MAIZEandBLUE09]

You have fallen to Wisconsin status.

Except for the talent ability to get somewhere. We just have to make it over that final step.

Still complaining about them talking up Schembechler?
