Merry Land

There's not much to say anymore, not before we take our bellies full of leftover turkey and drive south to hell. This turnaround is historic. And so fast. This journey from self-loathing to chest-thumping is difficult to comprehend, and tough for those of us that have been to a game or two (hundred) to believe in. We were there for that Sugar Bowl season under Hoke when we were "back," and that 2006 season when we were "unstoppable." So this isn't over, but I again refer to the eye test, that this week showed us a quarterback developing into a bonafide threat rather than a game manager. Harbaugh has out-Lloyded Lloyd, creating a season long gameplan hiding chess game that has shown so many looks with different strengths and different weaknesses that opponents can't pick a poison. And by the time they decide, they're down by 21.

We killed the Terrapins on Saturday. It was over immediately. There was a double lateral. As I said previously, we are literally f*cking with teams. With every blowout, the team's future gets brighter. 2nd string gets playing time, pushes 1st string, everybody gets better and 2017 is on track...snowball effect.

So here we are, 9 and friggin' 0, with our 2nd of the 3 juggernaut away contests, this one possibly even easier than the last, despite it being just our second venture outside of the state of Michigan. Another team dying to save their season by finding a way to beat us. Another team that can declare a moral victory if they keep it under 20.

Went Right Back to Not Caring About You

October 31, 2016/ The Webmaster

The juggernaut that is the Michigan Wolverines....undefeated, undisputed, and despite what happened last year, uninspired for a good portion of Saturday's game against little brother. I guess even in the most competitive of families (like the Harbaugh's) the older brother isn't going to wrestle you on the living room floor if he has to knock you off a set of crutches to do so. So here we are, happy as fans to win and move on in what they consider a rivalry game, but pissed that little brother continues to exist, and disappointed that we didn't literally end their season (well, aside from that quarterback) by pummeling them into a quivering mound of flesh and bones.

The game was over at halftime, as was our motivation to continue to pile on an abomination of a team and their coach that has quickly gone from asset to liability in the absence of Narduzzi - who despite only coaching the defense, was clearly the brains of the operation.

We won. We went to our lockerroom, popped a tic tac, and sexually assaulted the stupid wooden trophy you forced into this contest, and were already thinking about how to make DJ Durkin wish he'd stayed in Ann Arbor before the sun set on the old Soviet-era cement shit pile you call home.

It's over for you. Sure, we will continue to provide you relevance once per year through the privalege of getting to play us, and you will do that Sparty thing you do so often...pretending you don't care and talking of basketball season. But you will not be rebuilding from this. Teams that don't have a Big Ten victory entering November this deep into a coaching regime don't turn things around without a coaching change. Shit, even RichRod never lost 6 in a row. But I don't think you have the balls to give that scowling turd-faced loser his walking papers, so it's time for you to settle in to the Ferentz-Zone: Overpaying a dude who had the game pass him by and with no ability to recruit outside of his home state. Erect a satue and settle in Sparty, it's a future of residing at or near the basement for you with an occasional "great year" of 3rd place in the East. You'll always be remembered for winning Big Ten titles during the Big Ten's worst years, and for being on the losing end of the worst playoff defeat in college football history. Enjoy the participation trophy.

Moving on.

Go Blue!
