When I played in HS, I hated when someone with no one to block would cave in my guy from the side.  I had him, he wasn't going anywhere, and now he's pushed to my side and freed up (if he's still up).  It just annoyed me.  Sweep back for any stray blitzers or something, I got my guy.
They have relaxed the rules on pass blocking so much that they don't really coach it anymore.  Every guy just handles the guy in front of him at the HS level.  So when a guy doesn't have someone to block, he doesn't know what to do

You have to learn how to write off every loss, that's how Michigan hasn't actually lost to MSU in 40 years.  1995, Carr said the field was illegally crowned.  1999, their QB system erroneously allowed Henson to play too much.  2001, refs.  2008-2010, bad coach.  2011-2014, different bad coach.  2015, fluke play.  2017, rained too much.  2020, COVID.  2021, transfer portal players don't count
Haha. That’s how I made it for 15 years against the buckeyes. It’s a soothing way to do it and I fully support this

I still think the current UW staff, plus or minus a few people, has the ability to make Wisconsin a good program going forward. 

But they have done a decidedly shitty job this season.

The UM muffed punt fumble impossibility ending was the #1 worst way to lose a game in college football history.

Every time Michigan gets that oversold defense up the middle they run a perfect outside trap to the weak side
As soon as I saw the defensive adjustment, to the Michigan alignment, I knew what was coming, and I haven't seen it not work this season.  UMs RT is elite on that run seal.  Those are the little things which is why. Much as I hate college football as a whole, I still enjoy watching games. Just to see little things like that. Is Michigan's weak side tackle elite? I couldn't tell you. But I'll tell you one thing. They coach the hell out of their tackles is to pin that edge rusher when they have no help from a fullback or a tight end. And I still find it super fun to watch teams teach and then coach to a specific skill

Mordecai is killing the Gophers on scheduled runs.

The snow is coming down here at the New Brickhouse. I didn't think it was supposed to snow until tomorrow.

Big xii tiebreaker is amazing.  It's easier to understand my little kids' old toy assembly instructions

Yeaaahhhhh but the punt-flub-fumble-return wasn't even thought of as a possibility.  Muff?  Okay, it's down there, UM gets the ball with like 3 seconds left.  A clean block and return?  Fine, maybe, it's happened before.

But for it to happen how it happened was impossible.
Auburn had a guy back there for a reason.  It was a 'maybe-possibly' thing.

Nothing but missed tackles on that long run. WTH happened to the Gopher D?

UW had an edge of 2 full yards in terms of yards per play before halftime, game was still tied.

They've gone ahead by 7, but they're letting the Gophers move. This defense makes me unhappy.
