Shhhh....

We suck. Our roster is full of 5th B1G players.
It's never been a question of talent with Maryland. Injuries (especially QB) and some questionable coaching have been the problem there. Things look to be fixed and if the "powers" in the East don't pay attention (sans OSU), they could lose to the Terps.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

I think it's time for McCaffrey in Ann Arbor. Shae doesn't have it today.

Or.. maybe put them both on the field and give UW some tape to watch. :)

This game is all about Harbaugh. Don’t know how you blame Shea for it. I certainly don’t.
We have enough to be disappointed in both of them. Shea has something like 4+ turnovers on the season. We're 1.5 games in and I've already lost count.

Been missing a competent QB.

Defense is still a question to this point for me.
Holding that offense to 13 in a half is pretty impressive.

Their OL is patchwork and the QB isn't the same guy as last year, as you know.

Putting in McCaffery wouldn't be a bad decision. But I don't know enough about the lockerroom to be confident it's the right decision. DMc certainly has had more upside than Shea, but (a) I'm not sure he's surpassed him yet and (b) either way there could be a good argument here for being calm and steadfast. Switching is a season outlook kind of thing. A fulcrum.

In the ongoing was Locksley or Gattis actually coaching Bama's offense debate, looks like Locksley.

Who makes these stupid ass personnel decisions? The kid is a LB’er or a FB. At best. Probably not even worth a scholarship. WHY THE F@&! do they insist on giving him RB carries? Harbaugh is an idiot when it comes to personnel.
He was going to Iowa to play LB until Michigan swooped in late.

I don't think he ever claimed that. Not that Michigan can't afford more humility. I figured Locksley would be more like his New Mexico self with sub-Alabama players. That's looking like a very bad guess.

Mdot doesn’t want to hear it but shea never had it. Sec fans tried to tell him he wasn’t a great qb when he transferred. He’s not bad but he’s not gonna turn you into a great team either.
