problem with MSU

[oldmangloom]

And the fans are obnoxious not because they want to see a replay, but that they feel they are owed a replay and that the system must be broke if they aren't shown the replay.

you must be a joke poster...seriously. call me crazy but the stadium shows replays during the game, it would be nice if the stadium can show replays of disputed plays so fans can pick up something they might have missed. its not arrogance or being "owed" a reply, it would just be nice to see a replay of something that can be easily seen at home but not at the game from the stands.

And lastly.. after blowing Maize and Boohoo smoke, you end your post by saying "can't blow it in the red zone" implying Michigan failed themselves as opposed to "can't get stopped that many times in the red zone" giving ND their proper credit.

lol, you are correct, how dare i not word my last statement properly. teams dont deserve to win when they are "stopped" in the red zone 3 times. i hope you are now happy with me assigning proper credit to notre dame. i also want to assign credit to notre dame for sniffing out the obvious fade to avant and putting double coverage on him. i want to give nd credit for picking up the fumble and to the cb for playing catch with henne on that int. I also want to credit henne for fumbling, throwing the ball to a covered receiver, and for throwing the ball into double coverage. We wouldn’t want to not give credit where credit is due. hopefully I worded everything properly as to not slight anybody involved on those three key plays. i wouldnt want to discount notre dame. you were right.

The Big 10 rules committee says that you can't show disputed displays... how dare they counter the desires of the all-mighty Wolverine Fans.

Oh no Oldman.. your right.. Henne dropped straight back and just dropped the ball and walked away.. and then later, he threw the ball right into the back of ND player and it stuck there for the interception without the ND player having to move or make the catch or do anything. And the ND defensive line didn't put any pressure on him at all.. EXACTLY, EXACTLY, EXACTLY TYPICAL MICHIGAN SENTIMENT.

I was at the game and the throwing things onto the field was more of a frustration of two straight "reviewed" calls that didn't go our way. Everyone was pissed in the student section because they wouldn't show us the replay of the two plays on the big screens. Therefore, nobody knew what was going on, and we were all therefore frustrated that it seemed like everything that went Michigan's way was reversed by instant replay. Maybe if they would show the replay on the big screens the reaction wouldn't have been as bad. I think they still have some kinks to work out in their instant replay system, especially showing the replay to the people at the game to avoid potential bad situations when 3 consecutive reviews go against the home team (After seeing the replays on SportsCenter, though, I'm not saying they were the wrong call, but I was pissed at the game).

so that makes it ok to throw stuff on the field cause you were frustrated?

exactly? lol, i gave credit to the d and gave credit to henne. what more do you want! i dont know if you know this but it took the defense AND henne's poor reads to make the plays happen. i am giving credit on both sides. i wasnt being sarcastic. you might consider giving some blame to henne, he did throw the balls. also you are looking for something in me that isnt there. ill rip michigan and praise nd all day long, i have no problem saying weis had a great game plan, nd took away avant and breaston couldnt take advantage of the two deep balls. nd had a great pass rush alllll game. henne was clearly rattled. michigan hardly ran any quick slants/short drops. henne was inaccurate with his throws and often resorted to checking down to the te and it hurt the u of m offense. they had huge issues in getting the screen working, nd sniffed it out all day. again, great nd game prep. it was a great defensive play call to double avant on that fade. walker was solid on the ground and while brady quin was not that accurate he got the job done. stop nit picking phrases. in saying that michigan made mistakes, im not ignoring nd's role in them and by pointing them out im not taking away from nd's play and victory, im using the message board as it is supposed to be used. it is possible to complain about henne forcing a ball and not mentioning he was hurried, its still a mistake, pressure or no pressure. i wasnt discounting the nd pressure, by not mentioning it. if anything that would be a homer excuse to let henne off the hook by saying the pressure produced the int. both things played a role, henne is a soph and the pressure helped him to make a mistake. you need to calm down with your obsession in pointing out umich arrogance or umich fans not giving opposing teams enough credit. sometimes fans just vent, its not arrogance or not giving credit like you assume, its fans just writing quick a rant and you taking that and making something big out of it. just calm down, you are looking for shadows that arent always there. i've said i wouldnt be suprised if mich lost 3-4 games, they could lose to msu, iowa, osu and who knows maybe minn or wisonsin.

I think Michigan fans have been very honest with this loss. Most of them realize it was an honest loss and the team played poorly, while the coaches got outcoached. Yet the state fans are still whining about Michigan fans and "typical Michigan sentiment." Christ you people are lame. Enjoy your own wins, worry about your own team, and when Michigan people admit their team sucked move on. That insecurity thing is really becoming a drag.

I am not suprised they lost, 3 guys out on the most important part of any football team were not playing and then they lost Hart. Michigan always seems to play better as a team after they lose a game, I expect nothing but the same after this one. Michigan will still win the Big Ten.

I didn't personally throw anything on the field, people around me did.

no one said you did, but you seem to be defending those that did.

It's not like we were burning couches and rioting in the streets (lol). It was immature and stupid, but it was just a few nerf footballs, empty water bottles, and empty cups.

"...the Ann Arbor City Council is considering whether to require all residents, especially those on and near the University of Michigan campus, to move the indoor furniture back inside because it is a fire hazard outside.

Within the past few weeks, about eight couch fires have been doused on and near the university campus. Fire officials say the furniture is often dragged into the streets or to curbs late at night and set on fire. "

doesn't make it right.


i'll say the same thing to any state fan that tries to defend the actions of the students that you speak of.
