I'll have to go through the entire list later today, but for DPJ striking the Paul Bunyan - right on the sideline, right in behind him and present in the iconic GIF.

Fair enough, haha. I was…

Fair enough, haha. I was following it pretty intently as my mental unwind after two blue books in one day, and might have SLIGHTLY jumped the gun on it...

 

 

But more seriously, GO BLUE. Fantastic start to the Coach Juwan Howard era.

Go Blue.

Go Blue.

Will be there on the sideline with the band! Very excited!

I hate to do this...

I hate to be the person that piggy backs off of the top comment, but just wanted to point out that we do in fact have a Women's Hockey team, just not a "full" Varsity one that's in the B1G. I know it's not the same, but I'm just giving this exposure for those unaware.

Love the Yorktown...

We spent Spring Break down in Charleston and spent a day at Patriot's Point and got to see Yorktown. It was an awesome experience, and we ended up spending the entire day there between Yorktown, Laffey, Clamagore, and their Vietnam War museum. Definitely worth a visit, especially wiht the new engine room exhibit on Yorktown as well as the incredibly powerful gun turret display and the "Cold War CIC Experience" on the Laffey.

 

I got a picture of the cookie recipe (which serves 10,000!). It was honestly too good to pass up on getting a picture of it.

GO BLUE!

GO BLUE!!!

GO TO SCHOOL AT MSU, LEARN TO COUNT TO TEN!

IF YOU START AND FUCK IT UP WE'LL LET YOU TRY AGAIN

(1, 3, SHIT)

WE'RE SO DUMB AT MSU, WE DON'T EVEN CARE.

1. 2. 3, 4, 5. HOLY SHIT WE'RE HALF WAY THERE.

Welcome to Michigan!

Welcome to Michigan, Coach Moore!

Last year...

First off, good luck!

I'm a current freshman in LSA and I got my EA acceptance via Wolverine Access last year on the 21st. The wait is hard and definitely sucks, but you've done everything you can at this point.

Go Blue!

Yep, he did, but...

Yep, he did, but his second string was an exceptional talent and played for the entire regular season and his third stringer wasn't a Freshman like ours is. Cardale Jones had multiple years in Meyer's system - this is only BP's second year here and Coach Harbaugh is also relatively new here and still installing his system and getting all of the players to be his recruits.

 

Not a fair comparison at all.

 

Awesome!

Thanks!

Is this...

Is this MGOBLOG-766 that I just joined? I had gotten the invite to the first one and just want to make sure I'm in the right one. Thanks!

Xbox 360

Xbox 360 and would love to play. Gamertag is same as my username here.

the magic...

The magic that is the water in Hill Dorms and the Mt. Dew in MoJo dining, my dude.

Hot Take: We Win Out.

We win out. Peters sees Rudock level of improvement over the rest of the year and the O-Line continues its upward trend, culminating in the upset of #3 Ohio State here at the Big House 35-28 with 4th quarter drive down the field for the win led by Peters and Higdon.  Fans storm the field as the MMB plays the Victors.

Thank you!

Thank you! I definitely love being in it and wouldn't trade it for anything.

DILLY DILLY

We had a redzone passing touchdown!

DILLY DILLY!

Awesome!

Awesome, thanks!

I was homestly just rather curious. I thought I saw him, but the combo of where we sit plus the fact that we're almost always playing a stands cheer makes it hard to see / analyze anything at all.

That's fair...

That's fair. Like I said above, this was my quick take on the issue. I'm looking forward to looking at the film and seeing what I couldn't see from my POV at the game as well as UFR for this week. Should be interesting.

Either way, I think that sticking with both changes (sideline Drevno and Peters in as QB) are the way forward for this team.

True.

I'm just excited to actually look at the tape/analysis of the game and see how it played out versus our seats, which tend to make it hard to see the action.

Oh, I think he did...

... but I also think the play calling looked better.

I should be fair...

I should be fair and say that I'm still on my phone, so no proper analysis until I get back to the dorm (and my PC).

My hypothesis is that he had a larger part in play calling by being on the sideline, but that's just a guess. I'll talk to the people I know involved with the team and see why he moved back down to the sideline.

That all facets...

It's interesting that all facets of our offensive game seemed to improve with him back next to Harbaugh in constant communication.

He's been

He's been up in the box this season.

Just got back...

Just got back from Alber's in Saline. Just as good as I remember it. No U-Pick apples, tho.

 

I am also very partial to Erwin's in South Lyon. They are awesome.

Thank God...

Thank God for Higdon. That dude is lightning in a bottle.

GO MICHIGAN

GO MICHIGAN, BEAT THE HOOSIERS!

 

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BLUE, BABY, YEAH BOY!

 

IT'S GREAT. TO BE. A MICHIGAN WOLVERINE.

 

WE'RE THE CHAMPIONS OF THE WEST. THE LEADERS AND THE BEST. WE'RE MAIZE AND BLUE, AMAZING YOU, WE GOT IT GOING ON. WE'RE GOING TO THE BIG HOUSE (GOING TO THE BIG HOUSE.) WHO WE GONNA SEE? (WHO WE GONNA SEE?) IT'S MICHIGAN (IT'S MICHIGAN!). THE WOLVERINES... GO BLUE!

Please tell me

Please tell me that isn't real. That actually makes my CLCIV paper on the Iliad and my POLSCI research paper that I'm currently writing hurt.

Like they say...

 

Edit: Thanks to MWireless for the rare quadruple post. I really appreciate that.

100% Agree

100% agreed on missing animated Harbaugh. I think there is something to the fire he brings as a coach that causes his guys to play. I think an angrier Harbaugh has a direct correlation to better play.

MMB

My first night game and my first conference game as a member of the MMB, so that was awesome. The halftime show was crazy fun to march in and it felt electric to be in the stadium and have it be that loud.

Also, no rain delay is a plus. I got back to my dorm at 1am anyway, and I don't think any of us would have enjoyed being stuck in Crisler in soaking uniforms until the delay would have been over.

She gave a speech...

She gave a speech to the Marching Band this year on our first night together as a whole band. It was truly inspirational and had me even more fired up than I already was.

 

Awesome to see she got this extension.

As a member of the MMB...

As a member of the MMB, it's awesome to see Kevin featured. He's an awesome guy and a great DM!

So...

So this isn't from the Every Three Weekly?

 

All joking aside, good for him!

I like...

I like O'Korn going forward. His gunslinger mentality gives us the best chance at getting the ball in the hands of our athletic-but-inexperienced players, and his ability to deliver quick strikes while evading the sack gives us the best chance behind a young O-Line. 

 

He looks like a completely different player this year, and I love it. I feel comfortable with him under center and trust in his ability to run the offense and win games. Suddenly, the rest of the schedule has gone from "terrifying" to "cautiously optimistic in our abilities", IMHO.  

 

Go Blue, and on to beating the Spartans and the rest of the schedule!

I have...

... and I don't see 6 games won, either. 

 

vs Iowa - L

@ Michigan - L

@ Minnesota - likely L (I see Minnesota Rowing the Boat to victory)

vs Indiana - ??? Maybe W? Haven't watched Indiana at all this year.

@ Northwestern - W

vs Penn State - L

@ OSU - L

vs Maryland - L if Maryland's QB is playing, W if not.

@ Rutgers - W

 

So that puts them at 5 wins for the year if you give them the Indiana game, 6 if they're lucky. Not a good year for them.

 

Can you imagine what our defense is going to do to poor Lewerke? 

 

 

Fun Week!

Michigan:

 

- An offense, plain and simple. When we had a consistent pass game going, it opened up the run offense as well and really showed what our offense is capable of. 

 

- Beyond that, John O'Korn's pocket presence - whoa boy. His ability to avoid the pressure and not let it get to his head while still delivering strikes to his receivers is excellent and something we need during this year of offensive rebuild. I like that ability a lot.

 

Non-Michigan:

 

- MSU getting throttled by ND (despite my rooting for the meteor to hit the stadium)

- That Arkansas / Texas A&M game was a fun watch while waiting for ours to start

- I'm not terribly upset with the decision to go with FOX for some of the B1G games. It definitely wasn't as bad as it could be, and despite the weird camera angles, it was quite fun to watch. I also definitely appreciated them cutting over to our game from the baseball game for those of us in-market.

- Our schedule looks a lot less terrifying than it did on Friday. I have a lot of faith in this team, and if they continue to grow my belief that they can accomplish great things will grow.

 

Go Blue, and onwards to beat the Spartans!

Our team

Our team is settling down, the offense looked like a cohesive unit for much of the game (and all of the second half), our defense is a terrifying death machine, special teams appear excellent so far.

 

If the team can continue to grow and the offense continues to come together, I honestly believe that we can beat anyone in the country, and boy am I excited.

 

Onwards, boys! Time to blow out the Spartans. 

Exactly this.

This reminds me a lot of the Smith / Kaep situation with Harbaugh at the 49ers. It will definitely be interesting to see how it plays out and what Coach Harbaugh does with regards to who starts.

 

I know who I think it will be and who I want it to be, but it will be interesting to watch all the same.

This

This times a thousand.

 

O'Korn was known as a gunslinger at Houston. What we need right now is a gunslinger to get the ball to our crazy athletic but young guys.

 

Match made in heaven.
