You're all neglecting yet another RR-mistake-era record: Today, Wisconsin scored the most points they ever have on a Michigan team (football, of course).

Don't know why I'm so disappointed. Statistically, the game went just as expected: we rolled up some yards and scored some points; Wiscy predictably did more of both. It will probably be the same story next week. Unfortunately, we have only one real playmaker on offense right now and none on defense. I don't see any difference-makers coming in through recruiting. We'll be lucky to end up with 7 wins next year. I hope to feel better by Monday. Meantime, I need a stiff drink...

Anyone appreciate that RR has 1 more big ten win in three seasons than MSU has this season alone. Keep RR, the rest of the big ten loves him!

Defense,defense,defense. If we had a defense blue would be in tne top ten in college ball. Offense is very explosive with DR, too many dropped passes today. I was able to see him play many times in H.S. Someone stated that he can't throw the long ball.DR has a very strong and accurate arm. 28 pts should be able to win 8 or 9 ball games.

So Rich Rod has a great offense? Lets look at the numbers. In the Big Ten (which is a TRUE test since it is the league they are both in), Michigna has averaged 34.29 points per game. Wisconsin with their "old school" pro style offense has averaged 41.71 per game. That is more than a touchdown better. So Rich Rod is not even a top offensive coach on the Big Ten. Ok, maybe he is better on defense. The team is giving up 39.57 per game. Wisconsin is averaging 23.71 Special teams. Wisconsin scored 12 Michigan 4 (plus a missed field goal and TWO onside kick failures. There is no excuse for a performance like this. The team was out coached, out played, put toughed and dominated in every aspect of the game. Guess what people, Wisconsin has most of their players coming back next year. Unfortunately, it looks like Michigan does as well. The whole experience argument is a straw man argument. Charles Woodson played as a freshman, and did not have these issues. He got better over time, but NEVER in the history of Michigan football have they been this bad on defense. Why would a year make them suddenly on par with the elite teams? Returning lousy players is not something to be excited about. I would submit when the best player on your defense was brought on not from recruiting, but from campus wide tryouts, you have made HORRIBLE decisions on your coach. All this along with PROBATION, and anybody who is insane wants Rich Rod to stay. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

The Garbage Time yards and points from our "offensive genius" should satisfy even the most thirsty of Kool-Aid drinkers. Stay Thirsty my Friends. 6-17 in Big Ten play.

Our whole problem is...we're not aiming low enough. Aim low, and our expectations will not likely be shattered. Next year - shoot for top 100 (out of 120) in defense. That will show real improvement.

They held Wisconsin under 83. That's progress. Rogers kept his promise.

It's all good. You win some and you lose some. We'll be really good next year. (Sarcasm font enabled)

As expected. Out defense was pummelled and the game was never close. If RichRod stays around, be prepared for more of this

Rats! Our D made it into the top 100 after last week's game. Looks like we're going to slide down from that lofty plateau. Oh well, maybe next year.

Small and fast seems to work well against Big and slow....
