This is great, but do you know what may be better? Put Michigan #2 and OSU #4 and setup a potential rematch for a national championship! All that needs to happen is a TCU loss.

I'm drunk, so don't hold me accountable, but... Honeyman is one of our best sports posters.

So, it's s Purdue next week, right?
Look, it's been years of heartbreak. Being the brunt of jokes. I myself wanted Harbaugh tossed out in his ass in 2020. But these last 2 years of Michigan football is why I'm a fan and it's what I've waited for. I'm not gonna trash OSU and crack jokes and all that shit. I'm proud of this team. I knew OSU wanted blood and Michigan would be lucky to make it out of Ohio alive. Especially after that touchy performance last week with Illinois.

I think I owe myself an ice cold Red Bull. Salut, Michigan!

Big Ten West is still up for grabs. The scenarios are complicated. Purdue is the winner if it defeats Indiana.

Ryan Day did indeed make some boneheaded decisions during the game. Honeyman was right about that.

He punted on 4th and short situations when OSU was trailing and had the ball at mid-field. He also gave Michigan a gift by calling timeout as Michigan was mismanaging the game clock just before halftime. It also seemed to me more throws in the second half should've targeted Harrison, although it sounds like Michigan (very wisely) switched to a defensive scheme that allowed for better coverage of him.

I loved the beatdown of OSU in their house and ending the 9-game losing streak at the shose since 2000 getting back-to-back wins as well. I was surprised they punted on 4TH & short with 10 minutes left in the game by OSU bad choice Ryan Day what were you thinking?

What surprised me most was the undisciplined play of OSU. UM did well capitalizing.

It would have been worse if they had ruled that fumble as a fumble instead of the forward progress bullshit. But yeah, they got it bad enough I guess.

I was hoping for an overturning of that call as well, but the ruling was correct. His forward progress was clearly stopped a couple seconds before the ball popped out. A great play by Michigan's D nonetheless.

Before that game my ranking of 4 possible outcomes was....

1. OSU wins big
2. OSU wins a squeaker
3. UM wins a squeaker
4. UM wins big

That's why I don't have a gambling app on my phone. :lol :blink

In 2021, Harbaugh proved that he could build a very good team.
In 2022, Harbaugh had to prove that he could build a very good program. We saw the answer yesterday.

That game helped take some of the sting away from those dismal losses in 2018 (62–39) and 2019 (56–27).

One of my strongest memories of the epic 2016 game was Urban Meyer on the sidelines, using every bit of his body language to push his team, making them go for it on fourth down several times. That game convinced me that Meyer would always outcoach Harbaugh.
